‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
It is reported that only one member of the senior class of Hamilton College is now in attendance. His fellows, owing to the unpleasantness existing between them and the faculty, are temporarily absent from the institution. But a college class composed of one person is no new thing. When Harvard College first opened its doors the entire number of students was three. Of these two were seniors, and the other was a freshman. Of juniors or sophomores there were none. We give these figures upon the authority of an emeritus Harvard professor, Dr. Holmes. In one of his occasional Harvard poems occurs this verse:
And who were on the catalogue
When college was begun?
Two nephews of the president,
And the professor's son:
Lord! How the seniors knocked about
That freshman class of one!
