Tuesday, January 30, 1923

Beautiful, bright and cold. Arose 8 A.M. Breakfast etc. Studied. Dinner. Work. To hear Coueˊwith Kenneth Leary. "Day by day in every way I am getting better and better." Very good. Registered for second term. Supper. Letter to R.E.P. To hear Bishop Hugh[e]s. "Anarchy vs Law Enforcement." Good strong message. Talked. To bed 11 P.M. Thankful.

Emile Coue was a French psychologist who founded the treatment called optimistic autosuggestion. He was quite famous in his time. Click on this link to see the Wikipedia article about him. Coue died in 1926, so Stanford was fortunate to be able to see him speak.

Emile Coue from Wikipedia

Stanford is still writing to Ruth Pettit, it seems. Wonder when that will end? I suppose they may have remained friends . . .

Bishop Hughes is Edwin Holt Hughes, a Methodist minister who graduated from Boston University School of Theology in 1892. He was elected Bishop in 1908. See his Wikipedia article for more information. He was born in 1866 and died in 1950. He wrote many books in his lifetime. The photo at left was taken from the DePauw University archives. Rev. Hughes was President of DePauw from 1903 until 1908, when he became Bishop.

I wonder why Stanford is not in class this week? Seems an odd time to have a break . . .
