4 above zero. Bright. To College from 8:30 to 3:30. Played Euchre. To library in Evening. Jessie Cramer called. Thankful for heat.

Euchre is a very old game, dating back to at least the 16th century. Below is a 1919 ad for Bicycle cards--complete with rules for games such as Euchre--that were made in Cincinnati by the U.S. Playing Card Company. Alas! So many things were made here years ago!
Maybe Stanford used Bicycle cards in his game . . .
