Was first off book for the first scene last night–tech is four weeks away, so we might be overachieving a little–so I gave the afternoon over to, instead of memorizing, planting roses, three new ones that came from Oregon. Quiet satisfaction.

Read to honor the new Chancellor in the Whitman Room. She was not present, which I think was bad form. We were meant to understand she is buried under the duties of her installation, but, on the other hand, it might show where the arts lie in her list of priorities. I liked what I read, two sections of "The Law of Christ among the Birds." They sounded well in the air.
