Excerpt from Yesterdays at Massachusetts State College, 1863-1933 The Amherst House! All Of the Older alumni remember an Amherst House. Its form might vary, but not its location. It always stood on the southwest corner by Amity Street, facing the common and strategically set to catch up the unwary guest into the dark and musty depths of its hospitality. The most pressing want Of Amherst, the local paper says, is a good hotel. In the stained and faded parlor of this unhonored hos telry the story of our College begins. It is a Thursday afternoon, the 28th Of April, 1864. The New London Northern Railroad is advertising excursion rates to New York City's so-called Sanitary Fair. Fifteen cases Of small pox are reported among the colored people Of the Beehive, iso lated in a pesthouse on the Hadley road. A petition is being circulated on the street, demanding that Congress take the final step and free the slaves. Another draft has been ordered - two hundred thousand soldiers more, Of which number Amherst must furnish twenty-three. War rumors are in the press and on the lips Of outraged townsmen: Forrest's raiders have massa cred three hundred negro soldiers in cold blood after the cap ture of Fort Pillow. Five poor fellows were actually buried alive. One of them was compelled to dig his own grave. The Rebels are fiends incarnate.
