Synopsis
Excerpt from A Tramp Trip in the Rockies of Colorado and Wyoming
Your good letter was received this afternoon, just as I was getting ready to take my sister, who is at Bryn Mawr, as you know, to the Army Navy foot - ball game. I must confess that it was with somewhat of a pang that I contemplated the fact of its probably being the last time I would see a great foot-ball game from the viewpoint of a student. The greater part of my View of life's great game itself has been through the eyes'of a student eight years of college workwith two years of hustling sand wiched in between - and I sometimes wonder what I value most in this education I have been so long in get ting. I believe it is, chiefly, the abilityi have acquired to do things, and above all, the training which has developed the little I have of self reliance and determination. My first and greatest lesson of this kind was our colorado-wyoming trip. From the time our pack horse ran away* the first night out from Loveland until we had done with that last weary day when we recrossed North.
