Warm bright day. To College 9 to 12 M. To geological field trip to Hoffman's etc. Bowled at Y. Veritas class meeting at Guy Thorpe's house. To Floyd Smith's home. To bed 11:45 P.M.
***********
Floyd Smith is probably Floyd A. Smith, a young man who was a college student in 1919, living at 44 Parkwood Blvd with his parents, Charles and Eva. According to the 1920 census, Floyd's father was a wholesale grocery merchant. Floyd was still a college student in 1925, according to the NY state census; by then his father was a realtor. Floyd and his parents lived about a mile from Stanford's house, as far as I can tell, since the house numbers for Parkwood Boulevard seem to have completely changed. At any rate, he seems to be the same man who was Stanford's friend.
I have not been able to determine so far what Veritas means in this context, although it means "truth" in Latin.
