Professor Hamilton's Diary: July 17, 1935

He stays up late reading; Corey questions Joan Roswell at the Shoreham Hotel

Typing the bibliography of his thesis occupied Professor Hamilton all day today, and he once again treated himself to supper at the Thomas Jefferson Tea Room. He also checked out a book at the library, the autobiography of prominent labor economist John Rogers Commons, prosaically titled Myself. It must have been interesting, for he stayed up reading until 1 a.m. on what he described was an “Extremely warm night.”
