Wednesday, May 28, 1919

Bright mild day. To College 9-2:30. French exam 1:30 P.M. Candled eggs. Greased Ford etc. Supper. To library. To armory. Home 9:45. To bed 11:15.

Interesting that Stanford notes only some of the exams he takes. So far he's mentioned Latin and French. I wonder what caused those subjects to stand out in his mind? Maybe languages are difficult for him. Since he doesn't mention what other courses he's taking, we can only speculate.

Stanford notes that he greased the Ford, a job that required applying grease to the underside of the car at various points, as many of you probably know. (John tells me they are called grease zerks.) Here is a picture of one area needing grease on a Model T (the only Ford available in 1919):


And here is a picture of my grandfather's Model T in 1918:
