Amherst College, July 4th 1843 Dear Lucy, I suppose that it is as still and quiet as ever where you are today & now (ten minutes to twelve) a.m. you are making your preparations for dinner, without out cannons or crackers, orators or noisy boys to tell you that your “father fought for liberty.” Our usual exercises are suspended today except morning & evening prayers. If you received the paper I sent to you or rather which Stockbridge sent to you, you understand the exercises we have had in the chapel this forenoon. I will only say that we have a very interesting celebration indeed so far, i.e. the eulogy was a brilliant & deeply interesting performance. It is here (and I suppose at N.B.) a cool & pleasant day & we had a very good congregation. P.M. 15 ms. to six. – I have just got home from another celebration. I’ve been down to East street to hear an oration from N. Linnel Esq. who was a student in college last year a member of the present senior class & left to study law. A procession was formed & marched about the streets a little escorted by the Belchertown brass band. The procession was composed of marshals & committee, one revolutionary soldier (Amherst sent 60 soldiers out of her 800 population to the revolutionary army, eight of whom still survive) two rev. clergy & their wives, orator of the day, reader of the Declaration of independence, representatives of the old thirteen states (consisting of thirteen young ladies, bare headed, dressed in white, with crowns & girdles of flowers) & citizens generally making up the rear. The band was large & the music good; the marshals, with their badges & blue ribbands, rode upon prancing steeds, the ladies marched with a military step, the little children (whom I forgot to mention as forming a part of the procession) were in fine spirits, the national flag fluttered in the procession & a plain white standard declared the motto “Union founded on Love of Liberty,” while on the ????? far above the whole the nation’s banner proudly waved her stars & [Page 2] stripes. So in the whole they made quite a display. Wed. morn. I given you an account of the performances, in part, of yesterday. But the most interesting part came off last evening. A Pickwick meeting & initiation. You remember I told you, I don’t know as you heard me, but father did of one who was exceedingly disappointed at not getting into it, & afterwards joined another society. Well he has since improved, wrote a first rate colloquy & disposition for exhibition & was elected to the Pickwick & had a grand initiation though not more so than I have seen before. There were about twenty there. I was quite amused last night to hear that some of the young ladies in the village (& their sympathy is wholly on the side of the Alpha Delta Phi) have had consultations together, as to the members of our class who will probably be remembered next year & they singled out [the very ones?] – But I suppose you will want to know something about exhibition & c. You recd a schedule I suppose. I hadn’t been very well for two or three days before exhibition & that morning I woke up at the ringing of prayer bell quite sick at my stomach & my bowels out of order. I didn’t go in to prayers or recitation but went down to breakfast & drank a bowl of sage tea; came back to my room, laid a-bed & slept a considerable part of the forenoon. Went down to dinner & drank another bowl of sage tea & thought I must try to spunk up a little before 3 o’clock, but twas really hard work to dress me. I didn’t hurry for I was over an hour about it. I bathed myself all over & felt tolerably bright. They say that I looked very pale when I first came upon the stage but that any paleness gradually wore off as I advanced in my piece. I got through without any blunder & I never spoke as well before. I was not frightened at all. I think & felt quite at home. We had a very good audience, good music (singing by a quartette glee club) & in fine the exhibition passed off very well indeed. I only wish you could have been here. I keep wishing so very often. I see students very often with a sister or a mother (much more often the former) or some friend from home & it always make me wish I had such a one here for a little while. I thought [Page 3] of it a great many times yesterday. And now I am reminded again that yesterday was a great day for the Pickwicks : both of the orators were Pickwicks. There was a lawyer here yesterday from Michigan who belonged to that society & wore the badge. I think, as you see, a great deal about this society, and I do believe that there is no association that has better articles or that tends to have a better influence upon its own members at least than this, except the church. I’m afraid I love it too much. We had our election of officers in the Athenian Society, the evening of the day I sent you my last letter. I told father last vacation that Stockbridge would undoubtedly be chosen unanimously first secretary. I presume that about or quite every one thought so then. Two or three days before elections one of my classmates asked me who would be chosen secretary. I told him, “Stockbridge of course.” And then he told me that I was a candidate against him & one of the Juniors had been talking with him who told him that about every man in his class would vote for me. I heard no more about it until the afternoon before the evening of election when Stockbridge came & told me that there was a great excitement about college on my account. And when I inquired with great concern, to know what I had been doing or what the matter was, he told me that there was a great electioneering excitement & that I should probably be run in for secretary. I had before supposed that it was all blown over but before suppertime others knew it to be decided, although I did not. But although I was elected, I and my best friends voted for Stockbridge. I mean by my best friends Pickwicks who were not influenced by envy or anything ??? Indeed those who voted for me acknowledge readily enough that Stockbridge deser[ved?] it plainly enough, but they “didn’t like him,” he had put himself forward too much, “thought too largely of himself” & c. I suppose if I should write to other folks such things as I write home I should be accused of vanity but when I write home I want to tell all the good things about myself that I can. But enough of this. I feel in a hurry to get home again & the term has got so near through that it will soon be done & I shall be at home if God suffers me. About going to Fallriver, if I went I wasn’t intending to go until after I got home. Fallriver is seventeen miles from Taunton. I don’t [Page 4] know how far it is there; or exactly how much it would cost from there to Fallriver. I supposed I might walk perhaps part way, but I can tell better about going after I get home perhaps. I wish next time you write you would tell me how far it is to Taunton. I went to Sunderland a week ago last Saturday & staid till Monday morn. Had a very pleasant time indeed. Mrs. Carey is a very pretty woman I think; didn’t hear Mr. Carey preach. I thing I learned a great many things about ministers & their life & way of doing things; there were three ministers there besides Mr. Carey, not all the time however. I went up to a famous cave there, an opening underground, running beneath rocks for ten or twelve rods. I got a guide to go through with me who carried a candle. But I can’t tell you anything more at present. Your letter came safely to hand as I hope another may soon. And now with lots of love to you all I subscribe your affectionate brother’s name.

Title A name given to the resource John and Anthony Martin Photograph Collection Description An account of the resource John Martin moved to Amherst in 1967 and began teaching at the University of Massachusetts. He is an environmental designer, professionally registered in architecture and landscape architecture. His interests extend to photography, art, and environmental history, all of which he taught at the University. He has been associated with various organizations in Amherst including the Historic Commission, the Planning Board, and the Emily Dickinson Museum. Anthony Martin (John's son, born in 1969) is a photographer and a teacher. He took up photography as a teenager after having watched his father take architectural photos of buildings and gardens. While his father often focused on the larger context of people interacting in social spaces, Anthony preferred to explore formal aspects of shape, pattern, and contrasts of light and dark. This collection consists of over 200 photographs, taken in the 1980s, of buildings, architectural details, landscapes, and community events in Amherst. Most of the photos taken by Anthony were taken at a time when he was enrolled in photography courses at Amherst Regional High School. The images reflect his attempt to reconcile conventional ways of seeing with those of the avant-garde and surreal. The images captured by John reflect his interest in documenting landscape, architectural design, and community events. Many of the photographs were used in an exhibit related to the culture of Amherst which was sponsored by the Historic Commission in the 1980’s. Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource John and Anthony Martin Photograph Collection Description An account of the resource John Martin moved to Amherst in 1967 and began teaching at the University of Massachusetts. He is an environmental designer, professionally registered in architecture and landscape architecture. His interests extend to photography, art, and environmental history, all of which he taught at the University. He has been associated with various organizations in Amherst including the Historic Commission, the Planning Board, and the Emily Dickinson Museum. Anthony Martin (John's son, born in 1969) is a photographer and a teacher. He took up photography as a teenager after having watched his father take architectural photos of buildings and gardens. While his father often focused on the larger context of people interacting in social spaces, Anthony preferred to explore formal aspects of shape, pattern, and contrasts of light and dark. This collection consists of over 200 photographs, taken in the 1980s, of buildings, architectural details, landscapes, and community events in Amherst. Most of the photos taken by Anthony were taken at a time when he was enrolled in photography courses at Amherst Regional High School. The images reflect his attempt to reconcile conventional ways of seeing with those of the avant-garde and surreal. The images captured by John reflect his interest in documenting landscape, architectural design, and community events. Many of the photographs were used in an exhibit related to the culture of Amherst which was sponsored by the Historic Commission in the 1980’s. Still Image A static visual representation.

Lovell (1825-1903) was a professional photographer. He came to Amherst in 1856 and established the Amherst Picture Gallery, the first photographic studio in Western Massachusetts. In addition to studio work, Lovell was interested in scientific photography, accompanying an Amherst College astronomical team to California in 1882, as well as photographing Connecticut Valley geological features. His photos provide the best visual documentation from the 1860s to the 1890s of the successive transitions Amherst made from an agricultural town, to an industrial one, and finally, to a town known chiefly for its educational institutions. Moreover, Lovell’s images provide the best visual available documentation of Emily Dickinson’s community. Early images of the Dickinson houses, the streets, shops, and businesses the family knew intimately – all are found within this very important collection. John L. Lovell Collection (ca. 1860s – ca. 1890s) can be seen in its entirety at the Jones Library. It includes negatives; 59 stereopticon views of Amherst; 40 cartes de visite; and 1200 prints. The collection includes the first surviving photos of Amherst. Subjects include Amherst and the Connecticut Valley, especially architecture, businesses, construction, etc. Biographical reviews in local newspapers of the day; advertisements for his business and other materials accompany the photographs. The cartes de visite are significant because of extensive collateral material in the manuscript collection. Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Night blooming cereus in Amherst Subject The topic of the resource Flowers Stereographs Amherst (Mass.) Description An account of the resource View of the Epiphyllum Hookeri (night-blooming cactus) photographed with magnesium light. "There were parties to watch the rare night-blooming cereus unfold. It was not so uncommon in Amherst as in other places because of the Agricultural College. I recall one such occasion when a night-blooming cereus was sent us by Miss Greeley from Professor Crowell's home. We filled a large white china salad bowl with ice and put the flower in it at nine o'clock. The neighbors came in, a party of twelve, and at ten the flower began to open. For three hours it showed in all its glory. The next morning it was withered and dead." From "Around a Village Green" by Mary Adele Allen.
