Thursday, January 9, 1919

Very mild. Cloudy. To college from 8:30 to 12. Father and H.H. took nap in P.M. Unload eggs. Studied. Help thaw out gutter. K.S.P. meeting at 7:30. Initiation of Guy Thorpe and Karl Messmer. To bed 7:30.

Well, I wrote about Guy Thorpe in May 15's blog post.  As for Karl Messmer, I did find a Charles K. Messmer, who was a student at Union College in 1920. He lived with his parents at 119 Front Street, and his father was a cabinetmaker for a factory. His parents were both from Switzerland. He is probably the right fellow, since in the 1915 New York census, he is listed as Carl Messmer.
