Rec’d a copy of Bendix document TRAP-791-63 on TRAP III Parameter Summary, forwarded by R. M. Adams on Major Dalton’s authority; it has 61 pages and is unclassified.
Home in PM.
Went home at 1130 via AMS in Maynard where I picked up the Ford brake cables — 1 missing — and an oil filter for the Willys.
Took LCH to 12:35 PM train so she could get to class at BU.
Adjusted brakes on Willys & changed the oil; it was like ink.
JCH up and around in the PM but at dinner time laid down & didn’t eat.
Made DCH write another paper on the assigned topic of “Realism” before dinner. After dinner he left the paper he handed in yesterday on my desk; Miss Bonnett, the instructor, had written a note on it saying it wasn’t representative of what he can do, closing it with the comment that she would be glad to discuss his work with us. I wrote her a note, suggesting that DCH rewrite his paper until it is satisfactory, and also suggesting that the four-year English course be based on the Great Books, with fourth year directed to the development of a topic from the Syntopicon.
Rec’d invoice yesterday for my knife — completely rebuilt for $2!
