Fair mild autumn day. To college 8 to 12 M. Up to Delta Phi house to work on debate with Harry Reonce. Candled eggs. Chored around etc. Out walking to Scotia etc. with Wilber Hayes & H.H. To bed 10:30 P.M.

I still don't know who this Harry Reonce or Reond is. Ah well, Stanford had a debate with him, anyway.
I learned from Wikipedia that the early Latin societies, as they were first known, engaged in debate as one of their literary exercises. Apparently the fraternities that grew out of those societies, one of them Delta Phi (founded in November 1827), continued that tradition. It's not clear if Stanford is a member of this fraternity or not.
