The Henson Journals

Thursday, April 29th, 1909.

The weather has changed for the worse: about midday it set in to snow: & soon a very wintry appearance was presented.

DrPalmer and Dr Newman Smyth. Both talked very interestingly. The general sentiment seems to be anti–German and pro–British, which is as it should be.[16] Mine host took me through the snow to 'Phelps' studio where I was photographed for the students. Then we walked home stopping to look at the cemetery; where the usual hideous monuments demonstrated the native philistinism of the English race – tasteless, arrogant, even blatant.

In the evening we dined with Prof. Curtis.
