Opium pipe - China, Qing dynasty to Republican period, inscribed with cyclical date corresponding to 1868 or 1928. Water buffalo horn, metal, and ceramic. - Harvard Art Museums
It probably wasn't a bequest, it just kept turning up in the House Administrator's residence at Cabot House. 🔽
Cabot House (above) was built with money donated from Boston's most successful slave-trading, opium-smuggling family, the Cabots. Serously, the house is named in honor of Thomas and Virginia Cabot, benefactors of Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges. The Cabots were part of the Boston Brahmin, also known as the "first families of Boston".
Here's the Cabot family Coat of arms.
Perhaps the 3 fish represent the ways the family built their fortune at sea:
Slave-trading
Piracy
Opium smuggling
Opulence and Opium: The Legacy of Harvard's Drug Syndicate
Of all the families implicated in the drug trade, Bradley argues, the Cabot family was the most nefarious. The Cabots profited from the slave trade. They sent privateers to attack ships from imperial powers and sell their spoils. Finally, while operating in China, they caught wind of the lucrative opium export business. Elated, they brought the trade back to Boston. Within a few short decades, the Cabots had formed an empire, cementing their status as Boston’s elite, the Boston Brahmins. [...] these families had become deeply embedded in the Harvard hierarchy. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, members of these families were treasurers for Harvard, directors for the Harvard and the Massachusetts Bank, and even the president of Harvard College.
Cabot House's Coat of arms
Party-time at Cabot House! Harvard students and one of their professors, celebrating the football team's 18-0 victory over rival Dartmouth on November 12th 1910 in one of the Cabot house's dorm rooms.
I'm just kidding about that being a photograph of Harvard students, but they really did beat Dartmouth that year.

Confession: I kind of want the bartender in Inquisition. He seems very solid...and as shown in Tevinter Nights, he's also a hero.

capitalist ‘accountability’ / environmental ‘justice’
Coterra entered a plea to Prohibition Against Discharge of Industrial Wastes, a violation of the Clean Streams Law. As part of the plea agreement, Coterra will pay $16.29 million toward a new regulated public water line as well as payment of 75 years of water bills for the impacted homeowners. This money will also be used to provide treatment systems to treat the homeowners’ water supplies and the provision of bottled water while the public water line is under construction. [Attorney General Public Relations]
