school. The other 5 of us went to the Metropolitan Art Gallery where we barely skimmed the surface in 3 hours. Many wonderful objects, so many, in fact, that it was hard to absorb them: Whistler's Mother, the Thinker, Renoir, Rembrandt, all perfectly beautiful! We then went back to the hotel to rest. Paul says there isn't enough to do. We're just spectators. We met Art Nelson and Dick Paul, and took them to dinner and 'Lil Abner.' We all thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a nice visit with the boys - it was Art's first Broadway show. We walked home and had a coconut drink en route. We had a good talk with Art, who seems wholesouled about his mission. These are fine lads anxious to do a good job." Thursday, July 18th: 'We tried to get an earlier start today went to the Frick home to see the art collection.

We got onto the turnpike, stopped at Sturbridge, Massachusets, a restored New England village. We ate at the 'Village Barn' and stayed at a lovely old private home for $14. The dinner cost $20. Paul said family prayer and we were all in bed by midnight." Saturday, July 20th: "Sturbridge was a manrelous experience. They have done an excellent job of restoring everything to the period.
