In Francis Parkman's -h 197 -i- HARVARD AND CAMBRIDGE letters, written from here in the interval between 1840-44, when he graduated, there is an amusing picture of the charms of the place, not exactly in keeping with its aims. Here is a passage: "Do you not envy me my hterary ease? — a sea-coal fire — a dressing-gown — slippers — a fa- vourite author; all set off by an occasional bottle of champagne or a bowl of stewed oysters at Wasburne's? This is the cream of existence. To he abed in the mor...ning, till the sun has half- melted away the trees and castles on the window-panes, and Nigger Lewis's fire is almost burned out, listening meanwhile to the steps of the starved Divinities as they rush shivering and panting to their prayers and recitations — then go to lecture — find it a little too late, and adjourn to Joe Peabody's room for a novel, conversation and a morning glass of madeira." Why Parkman was living at Divinity Hall when he was not one of the " starving Divinities " neither Sister nor I could tell.
