whom, as on equal terms, he was wont in public to walk, and to talk, and to smoke pipes and drink beer, to Johnson's great distress.
Warton was taken ill suddenly in the Commons Room of Trinity one day, and the next day he died. His grave is in the Ante-Chapel of the college he loved, and which was for so many years his home.
Dr. Kettell, who gave his name to Kettell Hall, was President of Trinity in the Seventeenth Century, and somewhat of an eccentric. His pet aversion was long hair, as worn by the students; and Aubrey tells us that the dignified old gentleman was in the habit of carrying "a pair of scissors in his muff, and woe to him that sat on the outside of the table." Once he was known to cut, with a bread-knife, the locks of an unwary, but easily approached, youth; an operation which must have hurt the youth.
