September 27, 1930

Dear Mother,

I am living at the Chi Psi Lodge, and I enjoy it very much. I am through registering and ready to start school Monday. Last night I saw my first night football game, and it was against Willamete University.

I wish you would send my black leather coat, my shoe shining outfit, with some polish, my heavy shoes, the bottle of blue ink in the little closet next to the book-case, and another blanket.

All of my troubles are cleared up, and I wrote my last letter to Mrs. McCune this morning.

Dean Faville, the head of the business Administration School, comes here for dinner every once in a while. He is very young and has a yellow Buick sports roadster. He calls all of us by our first name, and he took some of us for a long ride last night.

We are going to have a dance in the Eugene Hotel tonight, and I am looking forward to a great time at my first college dance.

I am taking Commercial Spanish, Spanish Composition and Conversation, Personal Efficiency, Constructive Accounting, Survey of Physics, Military, and Gym.

I will write next week; and at that time, I can tell you more about my studies

George

Jane's Notes: My father was raised in the Christian Science religion. Throughout these letters he often refers to Mrs. McCune, whom I assume was the family practitioner. I remember my grandmother always calling her "practitioner" for advice.
