Sunday June 21 Baccalaureate Sunday - Went to church in village - Laura Jones & Ellen Burrill came to see me - Bacc. Sermon at 4:00 - by Rev. O.P. Gifford of Boston - good - saw Abby Morse, who took supper at my table - also saw Lizzie McCleery Davis & husband. Evening Norcross & Helen Wornersley - Vesper Service after chapel - beautiful music - Section prayermeeting at 8. eleven girls came.

Monday June 22 Still they come - alumnae +c - Had some responsibility & less labor about the dressing rooms for this afternoon - Sat on platforms with the rest at Corner Stone Exercises - Mrs. Stimson's address was not much, but had the merit of brevity.
