#36 Cabot Hall, Radcliffe Cambridge, Massachusetts October 22, 1946 Dear Grandma, I thought if I didn't come home I would write a little something. Have had a very busy week-end. Friday night I was taken out by a boy I had met at the dance Wednesday night. I didn't like him very much and won't go out even if he calls up again with him. Afterwards did a lot of studying. Sunday afternoon I had a chance to go to the Symphony concert in Boston -- and you bet I took it. About seven other girls went. It was a very good program -- Brahm's first symphony, something by Weber and Strauss. I hope you have been enjoying the fine days and getting a little more meat since the OPA controls were removed. We had beef roast, though tough, tonight. We had a funny demonstration in Biology last week. One of the lab assistants was strapped down and by a machine known as a radiocariograph, we could hear his heart beat all over the hall. Also, we could listen to his muscles work -- they made a popping sound that rose to a sound like thunder when he flexed his arm muscles. Saturday there were movies showing the inside workings of a goat's stomach -- very interesting indeed. When the lab assistant comes in now we try to get the record of his heart beat that comes out on a paper running through the radiocardiograph as if it were his autograph. How he blushes! I'll be very glad to see you again this weekend. Love, Doris
