Life at Harvard:
July 2, 1782 -- The president of Fellows of Harvard College votes to grant Gallatin free use of the College library, a room in one of the College buildings, and meals at the commons at the rate paid by the tutors if he desired it. Gallatin agreed and with approximately seventy students he earned between $250 and $300 per term. Gallatin earned a reputation as a good teacher with a very pleasant personality. Although he enjoyed Harvard and Boston, he still yearned for an agrarian life. He hoped for the kind of opportunity soon offered to him by one of his pupils. |
