- Miss Alice Eastwood has gone to Colorado. No one seems to know when she is coming back, if at all. Mrs. Brandegee now seems to be the botanical advisor at the academy. The whirligig of time at the academy! Certain observing ladies in Berkeley look over their eyebrows and say that Dr. C.K. Gilbert, U.S. Geol. Survey, has been paying attention to Miss Eastwood and that -- etc, etc. Shades of Cotton Mather! That Berkeley gossips should thus thrust their noses into our botanical lives!
