Additional Records
Basil Manly Diary IV (1848-1855) image 87, June 1850
"On Sat night [22nd June?] between 12 & 1 o’clock, a party of students went into the yard of Moses, & took his fowls, & made some show of violence. One was very drunk. Afterward, however, the chickens were restored.
The party consisted of Bugbee, Chapman, Glassell, Peck, Pharr, Wynne; and they were attended by Barnard’s servant, Morgan.
This boy, Morgan, acts as a Pimp, to get out Barnard’s women – especially the younger Luna; whom they use in great numbers, nightly. They then broke down the fence around the field adjacent, one the east, to the Laboratory, and dispersed to their rooms."
