The First Students of Harvard.

Our great colleges all had small be-
ginnings, and some of them had pretty
hard beginnings, as the following
ancient "Reminiscences of our first uni
versity shows
At first, it was truly a school only,
and was taught by one Nathaniel Eaton,
a scholar of most dlsreputable memory,
who was discharged by the General
Court for Z" cruel and barbarous beat
ing of Mr.. Nathaniel Brlscoe, and for
other neglecting and misusing OF his
scholars" sentence OF the most
righteous nature.
The brutal man had rule that " he
would not give over correcting until he
had subdued the party to his will, " and
in this exercise he used, on one occa-
sion at least, as Gov. Winthrop tells us,
"a cudgel which was walnut-tree
plant, big enough tohave killed a horse,
and yard in length"
But this was not all, for, although
the pupils paid him well for their
"diet, it was ordinarily nothing but
porridge and pudding, "and that very
homely ;" and his wife denied them
butter and cheese and beer "betwixt
meals"
She also forced the young men to
make their own beds at times.
Altogether the poor fellows had a
hard time dwelling with Master and
Mistress Eaton.
