[HV/YALE] In Civil War

[Cotton Mather/Lucas Davenport Yale] Messenger 使者

הנני שלח מלאכי ופנה דרך לפני ופתאם יבוא אל היכלו האדון אשר אתם מבקשים ומלאך הברית אשר אתם חפצים הנה בא אמר יהוה צבאות׃

Malachi 3:1 I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

我要差遣我的使者，在我前面预备道路。

你们所寻求的主，必忽然进入他的殿。

立约的使者，就是你们所仰慕的，快要来到。

——《玛拉基书》3：1

//为科顿·马瑟的诞生日而作，祝棉花生日＆忌日快乐！

玛拉基是《旧约》中最后一位先知，也是撰写了最后一卷先知书的人。而科顿·马瑟的父亲英格利斯·马瑟曾被誉为“（新英格兰的）最后的清教徒”，马瑟父子直到最后都坚守着清教徒的理念。故事的结尾是，马瑟对剑桥的那个学院失望了，于是寄希望于康涅狄格，那个被冠以“Lux et veritas”的骐骥。

For the 362th Birthday and 297th Death anniversary to Cotton Mather. Malachi was the last prophet in the Old Testament and the author of the last book of the prophetic scriptures. Cotton Mather's father, Increase Mather, was once hailed as "the last Puritan of New England". The Mather father and son remained committed to the Puritan ideals until the very end. The story concludes with Mather's disappointment with the college in Cambridge, and his hope for Connecticut, the morning star with the motto "Lux et Veritas".

Royal society

some little figures of the Royal Society of the UK.

The name was Nullius Boyle Wren. "Nullius" was taken from the motto of the Royal Society: "nullius in verba" (do not trust authority). Before it became the Invisible College, it was seemingly called Christopher Wren Jr.

His personality might also have that rebellious feeling like CambridgeU. In short, it's not as rigid and conventional as Oxford. By the way, he is an atheist.

His red keckerchief was pressed under the white one. I don't know how he managed to do it. Maybe there were some clips holding it in place. What was mainly visible was the white part, which seemed to be in a similar ratio to his Crest's red and white colors. The blue coat came from a well-known portrait by Wren. The wig was slightly lighter than the original color. The hair color was the same as that of Cambridge because Rayn graduated from Cambridge (in fact, it's almost like having no blood relation with Cambridge, haha).

Chris Harvard

Cuute little boy time!!

I have always thought that when Quincy wrote the word "literature Mother", it was particularly apt to describe someone like Harvard, a college boy... maternal (although at that time Harvard was already quite old, and it was only cotton that last time put the word "mother" in his history documentary book)

A boy with maternal. Great. That's what a ture Alma Mater belike.
