Edward L. Pierce, Memoir and letters of Charles Sumner: volume 1, Chapter 5 September , 1830 September , 1831 19 -20 . (search)
Chapter 5: year after College.—September, 1830, to September, 1831.—Age, 19-20.
Sumner left Cambridge with grateful recollections of college life.
Revisiting, as the new academic year opened, the familiar scenes, he saw the Seniors taking possession of the rooms which his class had vacated, and described, in a letter to Browne, the desolation of 23 Holworthy.
He kept up his interest in the exhibitions, parts, prizes, clubs, and personal incidents of the college, and reported them to ther at Framingham.
The letters which they wrote to him are familiar and affectionate, usually addressing him by his Christian name, and most of them quite extended.
Of these he kept during his life more than fifty, written from Sept., 1830, to Sept., 1831.
Once a week, or oftener, he sent long letters to Browne.
Of the letters to Browne and Hopkinson, the two classmates to whom he wrote most confidentially, none exist; but the letters written to him at that period were carefully preserved
Edward L. Pierce, Memoir and letters of Charles Sumner: volume 1, Chapter 6 Law School .—September , 1831 December , 1833 20 -22 . (search)
Chapter 6: Law School.—September, 1831, to December, 1833.—Age, 20-22.
Sumner joined the Law School of Harvard University, Sept. 1, 1831.
Sumner was the author of two sketches of the Law School,—one, an article in the American Jurist, Jan., 1835. Vol.
XIII. pp. 107-130; and the other, A Report of the Committee of Overseers, Feb., 1850.
Works, Vol.
II. pp. 377-392. Another history of the school, by Professor Emory Washburn, may be found in The Harvard Book, Vol.
I. pp. 223-231. Thises, as laid down by Blackstone.
The list of books read by him at the school, as noted in his commonplace-books, is remarkable for its wide range, and begins with this memorandum and extract from Coke's First Institute: Law reading commenced Sept., 1831, at Cambridge.
Holding this for an undoubted verity, that there is no knowledge, case, or point in law, seeme it of never so little account, but will stand our student in stead at one time or other.
