TranscriptFinished typing the Tournament introduction. Seems o.k. for delivery – here & at Millsaps next month as well as a “public lecture based upon original material.”
Called & cancelled my dental appointment with Stuart Taylor (Dick Reynold’s replacement); gave as reason I was “seeing a specialist for installing new front teeth.” Memphis State engagement; sponsored by Phi Alpha Theta Honor Society in History. 3-4.30, informal meeting (Q. & A.) with faculty & graduate students; 5-6.30, dinner at Ruby Tuesdays with some ten officers of the society; 7-8.30, lecture in Psychology Auditorium – read “Novelist as Historian” & preface to Tournament, then answered questions & held discussion; 8.30-9.30, reception in lobby. All seemed to go well; 2/300 in attendance. Home before 10. |
