Professor Hamilton's Diary: July 2, 1935

He types and listens to the radio; Part 2 of 'The President's Birthday Ball Affair'

Professor Hamilton continued revising and typing his thesis today. He checked with the college about a summer school class he had offered to teach but only two students had signed up so it was cancelled. He listened to the radio for awhile in the evening, a performance of Bach chorales and fugues which he said was “very good.”

Paid subscribers can continue to read The President’s Birthday Ball Affair, Book 2 in the Missy LeHand Mystery Series, with the locale moving from Mexico City to Chicago and the introduction of a radio preacher.

The vintage postcard shows the WGN radio station in Chicago. The radio station was owned by Col. Robert McCormick, who also owned the Chicago Tribune. WGN stood for “World’s Greatest Newspaper.” He was a dedicated Roosevelt hater. Card being offered on eBay.
