1922-1923 handwritten diary kept by John Hamilton Burroughs while a student at Stanford. John was the son of Congressman Sherman Everett Burroughs of NH. Although it only spans a couple of weeks, it is 81 pages in length.


It seems very interesting with his in-depth thoughts day-by-day. He seems insecure and mentions that he doesn't have enough confidence in himself, and it seems like he has a hard time meeting friends. I saw some long entries about playing soccer. He also writes about his thoughts on life, mentions some of his classmates and professors, etc.
