The Doctor, like a venerable patri- arch, surrounded by his affectionate family and pupils, looked around him, and the serenity of his countenance dispelled the gloom. His mind rose to the level of the difficulties before him, and with the activity and enterprize of youth, he laid out plans of buildings, selected their sites, and with his pres- ence and advice animated the laborers, hastening their operations, that his dependants might be sheltered against the approaching severity of the season. The number of souls then with him was about seventy. A few acres of pines had been felled before their arrival. Log houses were soon constructed, and a small framed house was begun, designed for the reception of Doctor Wheelock and his family. The frame of a college, eighty feet in length, and two stories in height, was soon after raised, and partially covered; a hall, and two or three rooms in it were considerably ad- vanced, when the autumnal storms, setting in earlier than usual, put a stop to the work of the builders. The sufferings of this little colony, and its worthy founder, were not in- considerable during several months from their arrival, and even to the fol- lowing spring. Their removal proved too late in the season, and preparations for their reception, from various cir- cumstances, were far from that state of forwardness, which was intended. Fail- ing to obtain water by digging wells near where their first house was erected, he was compelled to change its situation, after the arrival of his family. Many were necessitated to sleep several nights on the ground, with boughs of trees for beds, and sheltered from the nightly dews and rains, by a few boards raised over them on poles. The country all around was new, and the few dispersed inhabitants poor. Such is commonly the condition of the first settlers of a new soil.
