Rufa's Birthday. Rainy cold windy wet April day. Arose 7:15 A.M. To college 9-12 M. Home. Studied for Psychology stick exam. To College 2:30 to 5 P.M. Prof March didn't show up. Shot pool at College Union. Walked around. To College to psychology lecture. To bed 10 P.M.
**********
Rufa must be Stanford's nickname for Ruth, whose birthday was April 13!
In 1910 John Lewis March was an adjunct professor of Modern Languages at Union College. He lived in a room in the South College Dorm on campus. That must have been a common thing, to have college teachers living in the dorms on campus. He was a single man then. By 1920 he was still single but by then he was an Associate Professor of Psychology. In 1940 he was living with his younger sister Mildred, also unmarried, in a nice house at 1086 Gillespie Street. Born in 1873 in Pennsylvania, Dr. March was 67 by 1940 and still teaching at Union. John L. March was one of 8 children--6 boys and 2 girls--born to a Language professor at Lafayette College in Easton, PA. John March went on to attend Lafayette College, eventually getting his PhD from there in 1903. He died in 1952.
