"In the autumn of '46 father made a dickor with Father Sorin, president of Notre Dame college (then just beginning) to give me half a year at the college and take a black mare, his only horse, as a $60.00 payment. A copy of my bill for that five months is among my relics. I had no overcoat, never had worn one, and I think but one coat of any kind and I have a recollection that was the coldest winter I ever experienced. A number of boys had their feet and fingers frozen sitting in the study room. My feet were so swollen I could not get my boots on for some months.
