Nov 11. [[underline]] Dr. Hooker, [[/underline]] Chairman of the Section and [[underline]] Dr. Ravenel [[/underline]] biologist, were waiting for me and drove me to the local Hotel - Daniel Boone Tavern, simple but pleasant room with bath. Columbia City makes excellent impression. Clean trim, looks prosperous none of those factories and their chimneys and scrawny industrial appearances.
