Cool fair day. To college 8:30 to 2:30. Studied in P.M. Played tennis in yard. To college to Allison-Foote debate. Philomatheans won. W.? Swart won $50 prize.

**********
Here is some information about the Allison-Foote Debate, taken from the Union College Bulletin: Special War-Time Catalogue, 1918-1919. Vol. XII, No. 1, November 1918:

Allison-Foote Prizes. Mr. George F. Allison, of New York city,
and the late Wallace T. Foote, of Port Henry, N. Y., founded a
prize for the encouragement of debate in the literary societies.
The prize consists of $100 in cash, and is awarded as the result of
a public competition between representatives of the Adelphic and
Philomathean Literary Societies. Fifty dollars is awarded to the
society presenting the strongest argument. The remaining $50 is
awarded to the debater who makes the best single speech, regard-
less of his society relations. Contestants must have engaged in at
least ten debates in their respective societies during the college
year immediately preceding. All further details are left to the
determination of a committee, consisting of the president, the
dean of the college, and the professor of Rhetoric.

I was unable to locate any information on Mr. Swart, who apparently presented the best single speech.

Clouds and rainy. To College 9-2:30. Down town. Bowled at Morse. Supper. To Merris's home for K.S.P. Committee meeting. Hayes and Smith there. To bed 10:30 P.M.

**********
Not sure who Smith is--it's probably a man because women are always referred to by their given names.

Very beautiful mild day. To Church and Sunday School. Took walk with Hayes and H.H. in P.M. on Gray and Albany Roads. To Epworth League. Good meeting. Quartette [sic] sang. Talked. To bed 9:45 P.M. Thankful.

**********
I looked up Gray and Albany Roads on the map, but found only Gray and Albany Streets, and they are pretty far apart. So, I'm not sure where Stanford and pals walked.
