Around the Clock With Hoover Schedule Revealed

Washington June 21 Herbert Hoover's daily routine outlines a meticulous schedule. He rises at seven, reads with his dog Tut, breakfasts with family, dictates to a stenographer, then handles mail and office duties by nine. Lunch varies between Metropolitan Club and his office, while afternoons are busy with conferring, directing, and advising senators. He often visits the Hill to aid colleagues, returns home by seven, and evenings are quiet if at home, or socialized as host. His routine ends with reading a detective story in his study, a habit described as steady rather than passionate.
