Scope and Contents

Douglass collected specimens in Montana at several sites, taught classes at the University of Montana, and received a fellowship to attend Princeton University for advanced study.

4 March--"I was up to the university yesterday also. There is so much to do besides this work [preparing fossils]. There I have to teach Geology, Physics and physiology with at least three afternoons occupied with laboratory practice [his position was only part time with the university]. I heard that one professor wants me to have the other days occupied. If the president insists that I must take the laboratory work in Physiology, I will not have much time except Saturdays and I will have to work Sundays I fear .... I do not think it is right that I should be expected to do as much as other professors who get 3 or 4 times as much."
13 October--"Some of the later additions to my collection were some nice fossil leaves . . . and portions of a Mosasourus? . . . The latter has the skull and the jaw and a lot of the vertebra. It is a fine specimen."
