A3 A3 1863 SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. Fifty years had passed since the Albany Academy received a corporate existence. In that half-century, Albany itself had re- ceived a new life. It had wakened to commercial strength ; the grasp of the canal and the railways had lifted it up to wealth and to power, and the jubilee of the great school of the city, even though it came in an hour of «^vil, was welcomed by a large circle of the J community. ^ The Albany Academy had been firmly founded. It had received ^ the attention of the city when that city was yet so small as to con- centrate its judgment in public affairs. It had received the care and ^ good will of the stately old men of the colonial and revolutionary 'V time, who, many of them, survived till the period when its organiza- ' tiou was determined. The liberality and good taste of the times, - had enshrined it in a noble building. It was in all respects worthy I of the great word Learning. The trustees of the Academy, who had K watched faithfully over its career, some of them for a long series of ^ years, were gratified when the proposition was made'to signalize its I fiftieth year of life, by calling together its Alumni and its Students . J and as the plan for the appropriate celebration of such day developed ^ it was found that everywhere the love for the Old School, was vivid, \3 and that a response in favor of the proposition was in readiness. ^ Perhaps it was doubted whether the event would find welcome in the deep shadows of our great national calamity, but those who thus 4 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. doubted, did not estimate the genuineness of the affection which the thousands whose educational home had been the Albany Academy bore for the memory of the Teachers who had gone out from the presence of those who in all usefulness, were in action in its halls. The invitation to the Celebration was given by the following circular : Albany Academy, "i Dear Sir : Alhaiiy, April 4, 1863. The Albany Academy during the present year completes half a century of its history. The board of trustees have thought that perhaps this event might not be without interest to the thousands who during that time have been educated within its walls. They have therefore resolved that the semi-centennial anniversary of this institution shall in some suitable way be celebrated, and for this purpose they ask that you, as one of its Alumni, should serve as a member of a committee to make arrangements for the occasion. This committee is requested to meet for organization and busi- ness, on Wednesday evening, April 8th, 1863, at the library of the Academy. Peter GtAnsevoort, President of Board of Trtistccs.

On tlie evening of the 8th of April, 1863, the committee met at the Institute Room of the Academy. The Hon John Van Buren was appointed chairman, and William H. Bogart, secretary, and the plan for the Celebration was matured. The names of the gentlemen who should be requested to prepare an Address and an Historical Sketch of the Institution, having been selected with unanimity. The general features of the Celebration were arranged, and it was evident that the proposal would find something better than formal cooperation, a very genuine and haarty zeal of execution. It was represented to the committee that the subject of the erection of a suitable monument to Dr. T. Romeyn Beck, had been under the consideration of the former students of the Academy ', and, on motion of Mr. Murray, it was unanimously " Resolved^ That the purpose of this monument meets the hearty approval of this committee, and that we confide to the Alpha Sigma Svcittij the execution of the project, and that they be loquestcd to 6 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. report the progress of their enterprise, and a suitable plan, to the meeting of the Alumni at their Semi-Centennial Anniversary." The following circular was transmitted by the committee of arrangements to as many of the Alumni, as it was found practicable to address. In the vicissitudes of fifty years, a community as rest- less and as active, as are all in our young nation, obliterates in fre- quent instances all traces of individual evidence or fate, and the boys of the half-century have found all parts of the world open to their enterprise, and to summon the survivors from their homes everywhere, would have been to bring hither the far off traveler — the weary voyager. There were many answers made to the committee, a selection from which will be found embodied in the proceedings. The de- sire of many to come, prevented by circumstances, will be met by this volume, as it portrays the events of a reunion which was in all its incidents the joyous gathering of grateful hearts, blending in a common and a concentrated kindness. Albany Academy, "k Dear Sir : June 26th, 1863. / The Albany Academy has completed the fiftieth year of its ex- istence. It was chartered, by the Regents of the university of the state of New York, March 4th, 1813. During this period over five thousand students have been received and educated within its walls. It has been thought that perhaps such of the former students and officers of this institution as still survive, might deem it a privilege to unite in celebrating this occasion in some suitable way. To this end, the undersigned, who have been appointed by the board of trustees as a committee of arrangements, earnestly solicit your attendance at Albany, Friday, June 26th, 1863, at the follow- ing CELEBRATION OF THE SEMI-CENTENNIAL ANNlVEllSAllY OF THE ALBANY ACADEMY. PROCEEDINGS. 7 At 3 p. m. a public meeting of the Alumni of tlie Academy will be held at Twcddle hall. Honorable Alexander W. Bradford, LL. D., of New York, will pronounce a Commemorative Oration. Orlando Meads, LL. D., will read a History of the Institution. At 80 o'clock in the evening a reiinion of the Alumni and Officers of the Academy will be held in the chapel and rooms of the Acade- my building, llcfreshments will be provided. Music has been kindly proflFered by vocalists and artists of the Alumni. During the evening a meeting will be organized in the chapel, at which addresses will be made by various distinguished speakers. It is proposed to publish as the result of this celebration a memo- rial volume, which shall contain besides proceedings of the meetings, a complete catalogue of the students of the Academy from its com- mencement. From those not residing in the city of Albany, an answer to this communication is respectfully solicited, and may be addressed to David IMurray, Esq., Principal of Albany Academy. The committee have endeavored by every means in their power to obtain the addresses of the former students of the Academy, and to send invitations to them ; but there is no doubt that with all the diligence they have employed that many will have been omitted. They will, therefore, be under great obligations if any gentleman to whom these invitations may be sent, will extend the same invita- tion to others. N. B. The Alumni and officers are requested to assemble at the Academy building at two o'clock, in order to proceed to the Hall in a body. COMMITTEE OF ALUMNI. Hon. John V. L. Pruyn, LL. D., Albany. Hon.

The following circular was also prepared by the Alpha Sigma Society, and sent to the Alumni, whose residences could be ascer- tained. Albany, N. Y, | Dear Sir: May, 1863. There has been a desire very generally manifested among the Alumni of the Albany Academy, to have some suitable and lasting testimonial erected in memory of the late Dr. T. IIomeyn Beck, who, by his zeal and ability, as principal of the Academy for more than thirty years, gained for it a rank second to no similar institu- tion in the country. The eminent propriety of such a tribute to one so distinguished for his life-long and efficient labors for the promotion of the cause of education and science, will be readily recognized by all. But especially will it at once suggest itself to his former pupils, PROCEEDINGS. 9 who are so deeply indebted for their success and usefulness in life, to his faithful teachings and wise counsels ; and to whom, his rare virtues, his varied acquirements and his energy of purpose have been a guiding and inspiring remembrance. To them no argument can be necessary to secure their hearty and liberal cooperation in a project which has for its end the perpetuation of his memory. In calling to mind the zealous instructions and uniform kindness of Dr. Beck, that so won the universal respect and affection of his pupils, we recall one of the most delightful of the cherished associa- tions that cluster around the earlier and happier moments of our lives. The Alumni, in giving expression to their esteem and reverence in the manner proposed, will perform, though a somewhat sad, yet a most grateful labor; and the public will take pride in the monu- ment erected as a tribute to the worth of one whose great public services have rendered him an acknowledged benefactor of mankind. The Alpha Sigma Society, the members of which are all former pupils of Dr. Beck, have been requested to carry out this project? and they have unhesitatingly undertaken this labor of affectionate regard. Designs for an appropriate testimonial have been promised by several distinguished artists. To aid in defraying the expenses it has been determined to apply to all of the Alumni of the Academy who can be reached, that thus the memorial may be from as many pupils as possible. It is estimated that at least 83,000 will be necessary to ensure a satisfactory result, and contributions of from ^1 to $100 are solicited, in order that it shall be within the power of every one to become a contributor. To you, as one of the Alumni, we look for aid, and solicit your contribution. As a personal application can not be made to you, please send your contribution to the treasurer of the society, " John C. McClure, Box 440, P. 0., Albany, N. Y." A report of the progress of this enterprise will form a part of the exercises upon that occasion, and as it is most earnestly desired that we shall be able at that time to report that sufficient funds have 2 ' 10 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CEN'TENNIAL. been collected to ensure the success of the project, we would respect- fully ask as early a response as possible. In behalf of the Society, KiciiARD M. Strong, John T. McKnight, Ernest J. Miller, John E. McElroy, Richard V. De Witt, Jr., "William L. M. Phelps, William Headlam, Jr., Archibald McClure, Jr., John C. McClure, Jacob H. Ten Eyck, Jr., Charles H. Strong, J. V. Henry McKown, William H. Haskell, J. Wilbur Tillinghast, Isaac Annesley, George P. Wilson, Resident Members of the A. 2. The committee subsequently agreed on the twenty-sixth day of June, 1863, as being an appropriate time for the Celebration, and the result evidenced that the day was well selected, as at that time the foliage was luxuriant which the fifty years has given to a ground once the most barren and arid of clay banks, and the great trees waved in depth of shadow around the beautiful building, and the Alumni were privileged in seeing the Academy with such surround- ing of nature, as its founders regarded as an event too distant in the future to be regarded as real. The Academy was built where literally, a great excavation was made not merely for the foundation, but for the basement story, and when lawn and walk and grove existed only in the storied Acade- mies of the Grecian, whose moral teachings established their order of school. The day was of the pleasant hours of the beautiful month, and was appropriate in all respects for the exercises. Gathering in the Hall of the Academy, the Alumni seemed to revive as to the i'ace of an old friend, their associations with lecture and study rooms, and to recall the memories of the long past hour, when the preparation for the realities of life's work was imparted. At 10 o'clock the Reunion was duly formed in appropriate order under the direction of Col. Frederic Townsend of the United States Army, who had so honorably associated his name with the scenes of the battlefield. His very capable assistants were Messrs. rilOCEEDINGS. 11 S. AV. Whitney, James McKnown, Robert L. Johnson and Charles E. Smith. Trcccdent moved the Trustees, the Faculty, and the Guests, while the Alumni and Students with them, formed an im- posing army, which led by the music of Screiber's band, retraced the streets so familiar in all the incidents of Academical days. It was a procession which commanded the attention and the respect of the citizens. Tweddle Hall was selected as the place for the delivering of the Address and of the History, and nothing could have been more ap- propriate for its purposes. This hall occupies the lot once owned by the only signer of the Declaration of Independence, who was a citizen of Albany — the Honorable Philip Livingston, and whose biography had been prepared by one of the Alumni of the Academy, Theodore Sedgwick, whose loss, literature has long deplored. In the Hall, which was crowded with an appropriate audience, The meeting was presided over by the Honorable Peter GtANSE- VOORT, the President of the Board of Trustees, and by his side were his associates and the guests of the festival, among whom was warmly welcomed Herman Melville, whose reputation as an author has honored the Academy, world-wide. Wetron's Grand March was then performed by the band. The Reverend Doctor Ferris, now the Chancellor of the New York University, who had been of the very early history of the Academy as Teacher and Trustee, made prayer to Heaven, the source of that knowledge which shall not vanish away. The following Historical Discourse was then read by Orlando Meads, LL. D., a former student of the Academy. HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. The founding of the Albany Academy, whether it be regarded in the light of the interest which it excited at the time, or of the influ- ence which the institution has exerted through the pupils it has sent forth, was an event of no small importance in the annals of Albany. Our country was at the time involved in its second war with Great Britain; but as is the case now, so was it then, that never did our people show a stronger instinct of their own national perpetuity and greatness, and never did they evince more interest in those things which look to their welfare in the remote future, than at the very time when they were struggling for the preservation of na- tional existence. The great and wise men of that day knew well the value of a sound education; and no public interest seemed to them more important than that of providing adequately for supplying it to their children. There was, at that time, hardly a public school or academy of a high order in this part of the country. At an early day, this deficiency had excited the attention of our leading men ; and we find that, in March, 1804, a public meeting was held in this city, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of instituting a city academy; and the Lieut. Governor, the Mayor, Chancellor Lansing, the Rev. Dr. Nott, the Rev. Dr. De Witt, John V. Henry and George D. Beers — all of them zealous and perse- vering friends of education — were appointed a committee to report the plan of a suitable institution. At a subsequent meeting the plan was submitted and approved ; but it does not appear that the proposition at that time led to any practical result. It was not, however, lost sight of; but in 180G another effort was made by the HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 13 Rev. Dr. Beaslcy (then the rector of St. Peter's, afterwards pro- vost of the University of Pennsylvania), the Rev. Dr. Romeyn, and the Rev. Dr. Bradford (then ministers of the Dutch church in this city), " to procure the establishment of a grammar school, of such a nature that it might afterwards be converted into an academy." This attempt also failed ; and we find no record of any renewed affort of the kind until November, 1812 : when, probably through the quiet influence of that ever earnest and pci'sistent friend of the measure, Philip S. Van Rensselaer (then the mayor of the city), the project was renewed under favorable auspices. A committee was appointed by the common council " to report a plan and the expense of establishing a city academy, and also as to the expedi- ency of erecting and endowing the same." On the 18th of January following, the common council called a general meeting of citizens, to be held at the Capitol on the 25th of the same month, to consult on the expediency and necessity of instituting an academy in this city; and, preparatory to this meeting, they appropriated, in addition to certain other appropriations previously made by them for the same purpose, the old Jail property and its adjacent grounds, situate on the north side of State, near Eagle street; being the gi'ound recently known as Van Vechten Hall. This property was then valued at about $15,000 ; and, with the other appropriations above referred to, amounted to upwards of $20,000. The meeting was held ac- cordingly, and Archibald Mclntyre presided. Resolutions were adopted approving the measure, and a committee, composed of some of the most eminent men of the day, who then resided in this city, and whose names have since become historic, was appointed to carry it into effect. They were authorized to receive the funds ap- propriated by the city, to apply to the Regents of the university for a charter of incorporation, and to obtain further subscriptions from the citizens in aid of the object. These proceedings were reported to, and approved by, the common council, who nominated the persons who were to be named in the charter as trustees of the institution. Application was thereupon made to the regents, who, on the 13th day of March, 1813, in pur- suance of the powers vested in them by the laws of this state, granted a charter, incorporating Stephen Van Rensselaer, John Lansing, jr., Archibald Mclntyre, Smith Thompson, Abraham Van 14 ALBANY ACADEMT SEMI-CENTENNIAL. Vechten, John V. Henry, Henry Walton, William Niell, John M. Bradford, John McDonald, Timothy Clowes, John 31cJinipsey, Frederick G. Ma3'er, Samuel Merwin, and the Mayor and Recorder of the said city, ex-qfficio, by the name of The Trustees of the Albany Academy. The first meeting of the trustees, under the charter, was held at the Capitol on the 23d day of March, 1813. At that meeting. Chancellor Lansing, Judge Thompson, and Abraham Van Vechten — all of whom felt a deep interest in the success of the x\cademy — tendered their resignations as trustees; their official and professional duties, at that time, not permitting them to give to the institution the time and attention which it then imperatively required; and Theodore Sedgwick, Harmanus Bleecker and John Duer were elected in their stead. Before the Academy went into operation, however, other resignations occurred ; and Chancellor Lansing, having withdrawn from the office of chancellor, was reelected. William James and Theodric Romeyn Beck were at the same time appointed trustees, and continued, during the residue of their lives, among the most faithful, efficient and judicious members of the board. It would be wearisome, at such a time as this, to recount the labors of the trustees during the two years preceding the opening of the Academy; but it was those labors that stamped upon the institution an impress which it has never lost ; and those of us who have enjoyed the benefit of their exertions, owe to those wise and faithful men, a debt of gratitude which we can not well over-esti- mate. Happily for the institution they were forming — for the great interests of education in this the capital of our great state — for us, and for those who are to follow us — they were educated men, men of wisdom, and of large experience in life, and of elevated and comprehensive views as to the requirements of such an institution. Let us pause here a moment, and glance at some of the distinguished men who, at an early day, sat around that board, and gave impulse and direction to the afiairs of the Academy. At its head, giving grace and dignity to its deliberations, sat Stephen Van Rensselaer — familiarly known as "the old Patroon" — with his tall and grace- ful form, his air of high distinction, his benignant yet dignified manner — the friend and patron of science and learning, and of HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 15 every ^ood work, tlian whom, no man among us was more widely and deservedly honored. Near him might be seen his brother Philip, who for nearly twenty successive years, was mayor of this city — a man universally beloved, and never weary of doing good; to whose wise counsels, well directed influence, and persevering efforts, more than to all else besides, the Academy owes, first its establishment, and then the noble edifice given by the city for its use. There too, taking a deep interest in all that concerned the welfiire of the institution, was the Ex-Chancellor John Lansing, jr., with well-powdered head, and garments of antique fashion, grave and dignified in mien, and sententious and decisive in his speech ; and John V. Henry, the learned jurist and high-toned gentleman. And there, too, was the elegant and accomplished Bradford, one of the earliest in his efforts to procure the establishment of the Academy, and who, for more than ten years, was unwearied in his exertions to promote its success Not to speak of all the remarkable men who gathered around that board, we may not leave unmentioned the clear-headed and sagacious Mclntyre; — the elder Theodore Sedg- wick, in whose family intellect and high cultivation were hereditary; himself the son of a distinguished father, and the father of a no less distinguished sou, a son who was one of the Academy's best scholars ; — Harmanus Bleecker, whose virtues and attainments are too fresh in our remembrance to need that we should now recall them; — and Beck, the youngest of that distinguished body, but second to none of them in influence and usefulness. And should we pass on to a somewhat later period, we should find there other men not unworthy to be associated with those whom we have named. We should meet the gentle, kind-hearted, and persuasively eloquent Chester; and that thorough-bred gentleman and scholar. Judge William A. Duer, trained at Winchester — one of England's best schools — and after- wards the president of Columbia college; and John Waters Yates, of rare literary and classical attainments, with whom the favorite studies of his youth were continued as the recreation and solace of his maturer life, and who, up to the time of his death, made the Academy and its instructions the object of his vigilant and critical oversight. And there, too, should we see Kent, the great chan- cellor ; in whom were wonderfully combined the deep and varied learning of one of the greatest of ecjuity judges, the elegant tastes 16 ALBANY ACADEiTT SEMI-CENTENNIAL. of the man of letters, and an almost youthful gaiety and vivacity of character and manner. Long as has been the array of honored names thus passed in review, that of James Stevenson may not be omitted. He was a trustee for nearly thirty years, and one of the most faithful and efficient that the Academy ever had. With the gentleness and courtesy of the high-bred gentleman, he united an excellent judgment and a thoroughness, exactness and punctuality in business not often found. During the long term of his trustee- sliip he watched over the interests of the Academy with the most careful attention ; and at his death a bequest of five hundred dollars for the purchase of philosophical apparatus, evinced his desire still to promote its weliare. Others might be named, did not their presence here with us forbid. Long may it be our privilege thus to pass in silence names that are everywhere regarded with honor and reverence. To return from this digression to the consideration of the measures taken for the organization and opening of the Academy, we find that the work was attended with great difficulties, owing to the insuffi- ciency of the means provided for the purpose. The funds contributed by the city for the endowment consisted, 1. Of the proceeds of the old Jail property, amounting to about $16,900. 2. Of a grant from the city, secured by its bond for $5,000. And 3. The ground on the west side of the public square intended as a site for the Academy, and on which it was afterwards built. To these funds were added subscriptions by individual citi- zens, amounting to upwards of $3,000. These provisions were obviously inadequate to the establishment of such an institution as was desired both by the common council and the trustees. After an earnest but unsuccessful ctl'urt by the trustees to procure the requisite means by private subscription, they, in December, 1813, applied to the common council to erect a suitable building for the Academy at the expense of the city. This application was favorably received; and and on the Gth of February, 1815, the common council appropriated $25,000 for the erection of a building, and soon afterwards they modified their resolution so as to appropriate whatever might be found iieccssary for the purpose. The trustees had in the mean- while procured various plans for the edifice; and after frequent conferences between them and the common council, both boards HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 17 concurred in the adoption of the plan presented by Thomas C. Taylor, being the same subf'tantially in accordance with which the Academy was afterwards built. At that time the ground now en- closed as the Academy park had not been excavated, but was irregular and broken ; and for some years after the Academy had been built, its basement was much below the surface of the adjoining grounds. So doubtful were the common council, at that time, of the suitable- ness of this site, that just previous to commencing the work, they proposed to the trustees to substitute a block of ground on the corner of Eagle and Jay streets; but the trustees, with sound judg- ment and far-sightedness, resolved unanimously " that the site for the Academy on the Public square was in every point of view the most eligible;" and they therefore persevered in their request to the corporation " to erect the Academy on said lot." The common council, thereupon, ordered the work to proceed. The plan, as ori- ginally adopted, contemplated that the building should be of brick, and the ornamental work only, of freestone. Soon afterwards it was resolved, that the whole front should be of freestone; and at last it was determined, to substitute freestone for the whole building. The corner stone was laid on the 29th day of July, 1815, with all proper ceremonies, in the presence of the common council, of the trustees, and of a large assemblage of citizens, by the Hon. Philip S. Van Rensselaer — then mayor of the city — who delivered a suitable address on the occasion. The building, when ultimately finished, cost $90,000. It was a noble and munificent gift, honor- able to those who made it, and it may well be doubted, whether one wiser, or more lasting in its benefits, was ever made by the city. Within its walls, during eight and forty years, five thousand of the youth of our city have received those lessons which were to fit them for the duties of life. No one can estimate the insensible, and withal potent influence upon the minds of all those youths, of its beautiful exterior — of its large and lofty school-rooms — of its stately chapel — of its ample halls, filled with well arranged libra- ries and scientific collections. Time has not rendered it in any degree unfitted for its purposes, nor unworthy of its position among the public buildings of the city. It seems to have had a power to charm down and repress even the proverbial destructiveness of youth; and it stands to-day, after the lapse of half a century, a 18 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. unmarred by any spoiling hand, in all its original freshness and beauty. While the preparations for building were in progress, the trustees were engaged in making the arrangements for putting the institu- tion into practical operation. They had high views of what was desirable, and they sought, by the selection of men of the highest qualifications, to place the Academy at once in the first rank of similar institutions in this country. After careful consideration, Dr. Benjamin Allen, then of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and pre- viously of Union college, was appointed principal and professor of mathematics, with a salary of §2,500 and a dwelling-house. He was a man of commanding presence, of dignified manners, and had a high reputation for literary and scientific attainments. It may be proper here to state, in order to show the lively interest taken by the common council in this work, and the character of the instruction which they desired should be furnished, that they at this time passed a resolution, that if the trustees would engage a competent professor of languages, and their funds at the end of the year should be insufiicient to meet the salary, the city would make good any deficiency. Notwithstanding the enlightened day in which we live, it may be doubted whether it would now be easy to induce our common council to proffer such an appropriation for such a pur- pose. On the strength of this resolution, the trustees called the Rev. Dr. Joseph Shaw to the professorship of the ancient languages, with a salary of $2,000 ; and they soon after appointed Moses Cha- pin (now Judge Chapin of Canandaigua), English tutor, with a salary of $1,000. The Academy was opened for the reception of pupils on Monday the llth day of September, 1815, in the large old wooden dwelling- house, then standing on the southeast corner of State and Lodge streets, belonging to the late Killian K. Van Rensselaer. On that day, around a desk in a back room, fronting on Lodge street, on the ground floor of that building, were assembled Dr. Allen and Dr. Shaw, with a committee of the trustees, composed of the Rev. Dr. Niell, Dr. Beck and Mr. Sedgwick. As the boys were brought in by their parents, their names, ages, parentage, and proposed studies were registered, and they were tlien seated on benches which had been placed for them around the room. When this was finished, HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 19 they were, after a few words from Dr. Allen, dismissed until the next day, when they were assigned to their proper rooms and classes, and the regular work of the school began. Such was the opening scene of the Albany Academy. The number of students during the first quarter was about 80, and rose in the coui'se of the year to about 90 ; of whom 08 were in the classical and 22 in the English department. The charge for tuition was at first $8 a quarter; but at the end of the first year it was found necessary to raise it to $12.50 for the classical, and to $10 for all other students. At the close of the first academic year, a public examination of the students was held for foui-* successive days, in the old supreme court room, now the senate chamber, in the Capitol. It was con- ducted with much state and solemnity, and excited great solicitude on the part of the boys. In the lofty judges' seat, presiding over the whole, appeared the magisterial form of Dr. Allen. Around the large oval table within the bar, were seated the trustees ; while the students, arranged in their diflPerent classes, occupied the seats around the outer circle. An incident which occurred on the first day, may serve to illustrate the prompt and vigorous way in which authority was enforced by Dr. Allen. A boy, in an algebra class then under examination, was observed by the doctor from his ele- vated seat, to be secretly referring to a book. The doctor, calling the ofiender by name in a stern voice, ordered him to bring him the book. The boy hesitated, and at length said that he could not. Instantly springing to his feet, and striking his walking cane with emphasis across the desk before him, the doctor, in a tone that struck terror to the hearts of the other boys, summarily declared the recusant suspended from the institution. At a subsequent day, the boy appeared before the trustees and stated, by way of apology, that he had made a solemn promise to another boy from whom he ob- tained the book, that he would not part with it; but this was thought by the trustees to be rather an aggravation of the oifence, and he was not allowed to return to the Academy. At the same examination, three of the oldest students were reported to the trustees for habitual idleness and insubordination during the previous term. It was resolved that they should be ae'!monished. Accordingly, on the morning of the day for the public distribution of the premiums, they were brought before the assembled trustees 20 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. and faculty, and a stern reproof and admonition were delivered to them by Chancellor Lansing. It need hardly be said that these solemn and awful modes of procedure were reserved for offences of a grave character, and did not in the least interfere with the most active and liberal administration of current discipline, according to the ancient and approved fashion. The views of the trustees on this point may be inferred from the fact, that on one occasion, when some misconduct on the part of some of the students was brought to their attention, they adopted a resolution, inquiring why the usual and proper chastisement had been omitted. It is due, how- ever, to the professors to say, that they were rarely, if ever, justly chargeable with any neglect of duty in this respect. Dr. Shaw was a disciple of the old Scottish school, that never spared the rod. O'Shaunessy did full justice to his national training; and Dr. Beck, although always kind-hearted, and much more considerate and judi- cious than some of his associates, distributed his favors with unstinted liberality. Happily, this system has in a great measure passed away; and with no prejudice, it is believed, either to good conduct or good scholarship. At the opening of the second academic year in September, 1816, it was found necessary to have an assistant teacher in the classical department; and the Ilev. Isaac Ferris (now the distinguished chancellor of the New York university), was appointed as classical tutor, and assistant to Dr. Shaw. During the years 1816 and 1817, the prosperity of the Academy became much impaired by the financial embarrassment of the country, growing out of the termination of the war. The number of students fell off, the city became unable to contribute to the salary of the classical professor, or even to pay the interest on the bond, and this led to the necessity of a reduction of salaries, and a genei'al change in the })laii of the whole establishment. Dissatis- faction arising from this change led, at the close of the academic year in 1817, to the resignation of Dr. Allen, whose place was at once filled by the appointment, on the 14th of August, 1817, of Dr. Beck, who had then only just coiiipleted his twenty-sixth year. The result has shown, that a better appointment could not have been made, and has well justified the sagacity and sound judgment of the eminent men who then composed the board. lie was already HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 21 generally regfirded as a young man of unusual attainments, and of high mark and promise; and his special qualifications for this place had become "well known to the trustees, by the zeal, energy and judgment with which he had labored during the previous two years in the organization and management of the aifairs of the Academy. In September, 1817, the Academy was reopened under his charge, in the new building, which had been so far finished as to admit of occupation. Dr. Shaw still retained the professorship of languages, at a greatly reduced salary; and Prof. O'Shaunessy was also called first as tutor, and afterwards as professor of mathematics and natural philosophy. From this time, the Academy has ever maintained its rank as one of the best classical and mathematical schools in this country. Those who have had the advantage of the instructions of Dr. Shaw, and his successors in the classical department, need not be told that there was a critical accuracy in the elementary teaching and drilling rarely found in our American schools. The grammar, by constant daily repetition in all classes, from the highest to the lowest, was wrought into the very texture of a boy's mind, and made as familiar as his alphabet. Few academies or colleges in this country afi"orded so extensive a course of reading in the Latin and Greek classics, as was regularly pursued by the classes under Dr. Shaw. Nothing was neglected which could contribute to give a mastery over the language; thorough parsing — scanning — written translations from one language into the other — exercises in the rules of prosody — all were rigidly exacted. A false quantity struck every ear like a discord, and was an offence which was never suf- fered to pass unnoticed, and brought down swift vengeance upon the offender. Nor was this all. As the student advanced to the higher forms, his attention was directed to the noble thoughts and the felicities of expression of those grand old writers, whose works have become the models on which the intellectual tastes of the young have been formed in all succeeding ages. Long may it be so. What though it be, that in after years, amid the absorbing duties of life, this knowledge, so laboriously acquired, may seem to have passed away, or, at all events, to be of little practical use, yet, what- ever else maybe lost, the mental discipline thus acquired — the subtle power of analysis — the culture of the taste — the breadth of intellectual vision and sympathy — the youthful impressions of 22 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. ancient and heroic times — the music which lingers like an echo around some fine old classic phrase — the elevating sense of our brotherhood and community with educated men all over the world in this our common inheritance — are never lost, but abide with us, and impart grace and dignity to the whole intellectual life. The death of Dr. Shaw in August, 1824, deprived the Academy of a teacher who had established for it a deservedly high character for classical instruction. This character was well sustained by his successor, the Rev. Dr. Peter Bullions, who, after a short interval, during which the place was temporarily supplied by the Rev. Dr. Alexander Bullions, was appointed to the vacant classical profes- sorship, which he filled with distinguished learning and ability for. the next twenty-four years. He brought originally to the place excellent qualifications as a classical scholar ; but his knowledge was greatly enlarged, and his skill as a teacher improved, by his long course of subsequent study and experience. His series of admirable grammars and school books, prepared while he held his professorship in the Academy, made him, and the institution with which he was connected, widely and favorably known, and added much to his success and reputation as a teacher. All who ever had the advantage of his instructions, will bear witness to the thoroughness, exactness and completeness which characterized them. Nor were the mathematical and scientific departments of the Academy during the same period, less successfully maintained than the classical. There was, at the time of the establishment of the Academy, a great want in this country of the means of proper scien- tific instruction, especially in those branches applicable to the useful arts and to the public works and improvements, which were engaging the attention of our people. To supply this want, was one of the leading objects of the Academy; and it has never failed to have men of distinguished ability in charge of this department. The names of Beck, O'Shaunessy. Henry, Ten Eyck, and Cook, attest the character of its scientific instruction. But the influence of the Academy upon the interests of science, has by no means been limited to its direct teachings. Placed here, at the seat of government of this great state, and in the charge of men whose personal and scientific character commanded unusual confidence, it has been from the beginning, a centre of wide and HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 23 salutary influence, giving impulse and direction to almost every important scientific enterprise in the state. It is impossible to speak of this subject without speaking of Dr. Beck, whose labors and influence have become part of the history, both of the Academy and of the state. Soon after his appointment, he instituted in the Academy, under the sanction of the trustees, an annual course of lectures on chemistry, which excited at the time great public interest, and were largely attended by our citizens as well as by the students. He also established at the Academy a system of regular meteor- ological observations, which were regularly published, and which, through his eff"orts with the board of Regents, expanded itself into a system which now brings its regular annual returns from every academy in the state. In the laboratory of the Academy were con- ducted the investigations directed by the state, in regard to our salt springs and the manufacture of salt, which, at a former day, con- tributed so much to the benefit of that branch of our state resources. To no one did the great scientific work of the geological survey of this state owe more than to Dr. Beck, who in every way, by his knowledge, his labors, and his influence with the authorities of the state, contributed to its successful accomplishment. Within the walls of the Academy, under his watchful eye, the admirable scien- tific library and collections of the Albany Institute grew to their present magnitude. The State library, now the pride of the state, and one of the noblest collections of this country, may be said almost to have been the work of his forming hand. It was with him ever a most cherished object, and one for which he was pecu- liarly qualified, not only by his lifelong devotion to science and literature, but by his almost unequalled knowledge of whatever pertained to books. But with all this, there was ever the most faithful, and vigilant attention to the daily work of the Academy in all its departments. No detail of duty was ever neglected. His capacity for labor, and his systematic and untiring industry, have rarely if ever been surpassed. The written records of the Academy, of the Institute, of the board of Regents, and of all the literary and scientific bodies with which he was connected, bear witness to an amount of patient labor, which would seem to have been beyond the power of any man to accomplish. Amid all these multiplied labors, he never lost sight of his favorite study of medical jurispru- 24 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. dence. Commencing his researclies in it at the outset of his profes- sional life, he made it for many years the subject of an annual course of lectures at the Fairfield medical college ; and at length produced his great work on the subject, which has given him a world-wide reputation, and has placed him in the first rank of medical writers. In 1848, finding that the Academy demanded, on the part of its principal, more time and care than his strength and his increasing duties, as secretary of the board of Kegents, would enable him to give to it, he, to the regret of the trustees, resigned the post which he had so honorably and faithfully filled for nearly a third of a century. He still, however, retained his seat in the board of trus- tees, by whom he was immediately elected their president. Mr. Stevenson, who had long held that office, insisting upon resigning it in his favor ; and he continued to preside over the board until the time of his death, which occurred on the 10th day of November, 1856. We need not wonder that such a man should have left the impress of his character upon the successive generations of boys, that for more than thirty years passed under his charge. The man is always far more important than what he teaches. It was not simply his well known attainments and his high reputation that gave him his influence, although these no doubt served to inspire additional respect; but he was a man of high feeling and principle — a gen- tleman, not less by his nature, than by descent, by education, and by all the associations of his life. Boys are ever keen judges of character ; and it was their intuitive recognition of his thorough manliness, his kind-heartedness, his love of fun, his scorn of meanness, his quick sympathy with whatever was honorable and generous and true, that gave him his wonderful power fur good over them. Well and faith- fully did he do his part in life ; and his clear and honored name will live lung in the record of his varied and useful labors, and in the hearts of the thousands who have been trained up under his teachings. Before leaving the subject of the contributions, whicli the Academy and those connected with it have made to the general cause of science and the arts, it is especially fitting that we should call to mind one, that in its results and practical application has given us the most important invention uf the age — the electro-magnetic telegra])li. On the resignation uf Ti'dfessur O'Shaunessy in 182G, HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 25 Professor Joseph Henry (now the distinguished secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and who had formerly been a student in the Academy), was called to the chair of mathematics and natural philosophy. In 1828, in the course of his own studies in connection with his duties as professor of natural philosophy, he originated and prosecuted in the laboratory of the Academy, a course of original investigations and experiments in electro-magnetism, in which he was assisted by his friend. Dr. Philip Ten Eyck, afterwards his successor in the same professorship. The subject of electro-mag- netism had already awakened great interest ; and notwithstanding the important discoveries of Oersted, Arago, and Davy, and the still more important one of Ampere, the state of the science was such previous to Prof. Henry's discoveries, that not only were the means of developing magnetism in soft iron imperfectly understood, but the electro-magnet, as it then existed, was inapplicable to the trans- mission of power to a great distance. The discovery of Professor Henry showed how a far greater magnetic power than had previ- ously been produced might be developed, and also, how the resistance to the transmission of that power, and to its application at a great distance, might be successfully overcome. His experi- ments first established the facts : that, in order to furnish the projectile force necessary to transmit the power through a long circuit, so as to produce mechanical effects at a great distance, a gal- vanic battery, of many pairs of plates, designated as " an intensity battery," should be employed, and that the magnet connected with it should be wound with one long wire with many turns ; and that a bar of iron might be thus magnetized at a great distance from the operator. He also clearly pointed out the application of these facts to the transmission of signals. This laid the foundation for the practicability of the magnetic telegraph. The older students of the Academy in the years 1830, 1831 and 1832, and others who wit- nessed his experiments, which at that time excited so much interest in this cit}', will remember the long coils of wire which ran, circuit upon circuit, for more than a mile in length, around one of the upper rooms in the Academy, for the purpose of illustrating the fact, that a galvanic current could be transmitted through its whole length, so as to excite a magnet at the farther end of the line, and thus move a steel bar which struck a bell. This, in a scientific 4 26 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. point of view, was the demonstration and accomplishment of all that was required for the magnetic telegraph. The science of the telegraph was here complete. It needed only the inventive genius of Morge to supply the admirable instrument, which was to make it available for practical use. It was not for the man of science, to leave the path of original scientific investigation, to devise the instrument which was to apply his discoveries to the practical pur- poses of life. Morse had already been long engaged in his inventive work, but had been always baffled by the difficulty which he found of transmitting the power to a distance, when the discovery of Henry, being communicated to him by his assistant. Dr. Gale, ena- bled him at once to perfect his great invention. All honor to the inventor ; but let us not forget, that the click of the telegraph, which is heard from every joint of those mystic wires which now link together every city, and village, and post, and camp, and sta- tion, all over this continent, is but the echo of that little bell which first sounded in that upper room of the Academy. These facts are a part of the history of the Academy ; and it is fitting that, on an occasion like this, so important a discovery, made by one of her own sons, in her own service, and under her own roof, should not be passed over in silence. In 1832 Professor Henry, having been called to the chair of mathematics and natural philosophy in Princeton college, resigned his professorship in the Academy, and was succeeded by Dr. Philip Ten Eyck, who brought to the place rare attainments, and a high reputation as a mathematician and man of science. He held this professorship, fulfilling its duties with ability and faithfulness, until the reorganization of the Academy in 1848, when he resigned. At this time, an important change took place in the organization of the Academy. It was found, that for several years past the institution had been falling off in the number of its students, and consequently in its income. It had been injuriously affected by the establishment throughout our city of district schools, and the im- proved character of the instruction afforded by them, as compared with the ])ublic schools of an earlier day. This withdrew from the Academy many of the pupils who had formerly resorted to it, for the purpose of obtaining a good English education. These circum- stances induced the trustees, after the retirement of Dr. Beck, Dr. HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 27 Bullions, and Dr. Ten Eyck, in 1848, to reorganize the whole system, with a view to its better adaptation to the changed circum- stances and wants of the time. The Kev. Dr. VVilliam H. Campbell, now the president of Rutgers college, was appointed principal ; and, in connection with that office, also discharged the duties of professor of the Greek and Latin languages. He was eminently qualified for these duties by his fine classical scholarship, and his general literary tastes and acquirements ; and the reputation of the Academy was fully sustained during the three years that he remained at its head. In 1851, he accepted a professorship in the theological seminary at New Brunswick ; and Professor George II. Cook, who had filled the chair of mathematics and natural philosophy since the resignation of Dr. Ten Eyck in 1848, was appointed principal in his stead. In addition to his duties as" principal, Professor Cook continued to discharge the duties of the mathematical professorship ; and the institution was highly prosperous under his management. In 1853, he accepted the pro- fessorship of chemistry and the natural sciences in Rutgers college ; and the Rev. Wm. A. Miller, who had been appointed to the profes- sorship of the ancient languages on the resignation of Dr. Campbell, was appointed principal, and discharged its duties with ability and success until 1856, when he resigned, and Professor David Murray, the present principal, was appointed in his stead. In closing this review of the distinguished men who have been instructors in the Academy, we should not omit to mention the name of Professor Julian Molinard, who for twenty years held the professorship of modern languages. He had been early in life an officer in the French army. He was a man of high and generous spirit, a most exact and faithful teacher, critically versed in the structure and niceties of his own language, and in the comparative peculiarities of our own. He resigned his place in the Academy in 1859, and died in the service of the government of the United States in 1862. Delicacy forbids that we should speak of those now in charge of the institution; but it maybe allowable to say, that its present con- dition and prospects are not unworthy of its reputation in the past. It remains for us yet to mention those to whom the Academy has been indebted for the establishment of scholarships and honorary medals. 28 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. The late Henry W. Dclavuu died in 1836. By his will, he be- queathed to the Academy the sum of two thousand dollars, to be deposited in the savings bank as a permanent fund, the income of which was to be applied to the teaching of such a number of poor boys in the Albany Academy, in the useful branches of English education, as such income would allow. No boy to enjoy the benefit of such fund for more than two years. At all times since the foundation of this noble charity, five boys have been educated iu the Academy, in accordance with the terms of the bequest, out of the income of the fund. In 1831, the late Wm. Caldwell, Esq., of this city, gave to the Academy the sum of one hundred dollars, the intercs^t of which was to be applied to procuring a premium, to be annually bestowed on the best scholar in mathematics and natural philosophy in the Academy. Such scholar to be of at ler.st four jears standing. A gold medal, designated as The Caldwell Mathematical Medal, has ever since been annually given as directed by the founder. In 1837 the late Stephen Van Rensselaer, Esq., gave to the Academy the like sum of one hundred dollars, on condition that the income thereof should be annually appropriated to the purchase of a gold medal, to be given at every annual examination to the best scholar in the Latin and Greek languages. Such scholar to be of at least four years' standing in the Academy, and the medal not to be twice bestowed on the same individual. This medal has been ever since annually given, and is known as The Van liensselaer Classical Medal. In 1854 Thomas W. Olcott, Esq., gave a fund to provide a gold medal, to be designated as The Beck Literary Medal, in honor ol Dr. T. Ilomeyn Beck, to be given each year to the student of four years' standing in the Academy, and well approved for scholar- ship and conduct, who shall present the best English composition. The same individual to receive it but once. In the same year the late Dr. P. Gannon, of this city, gave by his will the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars as a fund for a medal, to be given each year to the student of three years' standing in the Academy who shall have made the greatest proficiency in mathe- matics and natural philosophy. This medal to be given but once to the same person. HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 29 The Principal has also for a number of years past, given two prizes for English composition, which are open to competition among all the students. These medals and prizes have proved powerful and salutary in- centives to exertion, and are regarded by the students as badges of the highest academical distinction. Standing, as we do to-day, at the close of the first half century of the Academy's existence, its sons may look back upon its past history with pride and with gratitude; with pride, in the great men who have presided over it, in the well trained pupils whom it has sent forth, in the wide and salutary influence it has exerted j and with gratitude, for their share in its inestimable benefits. Sound learning- has here ever found a cherished home ; faithful guardians have ever watched over it; true-hearted, devoted men, deeply learned, have given the best of their lives to its service. Generation after genera- tion of the youth and hope of our city have here been trained in those habits, and taught those lessons, which have prepared them for the duties and responsibilities of life. Well and faithfully has the Academy done its part. How well and how nobly some of the pupils have done theirs, we all know, though we may not yet say. But we may say, that no where, more than in this institution, have the interests and dignity of true learning been more carefully preserved and respected. No false guides have ever been sufi"ered within its honored precincts. Shams and charlatanism, devices for temporary efi"ect, schemes to win knowledge without labor, and to give igno- rance the semblance of learning, have had no place in its system. The men who were in charge of it were too wise, and too learned, and too honest, for that. With no blind adherence to the past — nay, with a ready and joyful recognition of any new measure which commended itself to a sound and enlightened judgment — it has in the main, stood " super anfiquas vias ;" it has kept to the well-tried ancient ways. It has sought no royal road ; or rather, we should say, the only true and royal road, by which any solid and lasting attainments are, or ever have been, or ever will be reached — the road of patient and well directed labor. 30 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. Ernest J. Miller, Esq., President of tlie Alpha Sigma Society, made the following report concerning the monument to Dr. The- ODRIC KOMEYN BeCK. REPORT. The work of erecting a suitable memorial to Dr. T. Romeyn Beck, was committed to the Alpha Sigma Society by a resolution passed at a meeting of a committee of the Alumni and Trustees of the Albany Academy, held April Sth, 18G3. The society willingly undertook the work, deeming it an honor to be the instruments of commemo- rating the virtues of one so dear to all of us, but with a full know- ledge of the labor required at its hands, and in this last respect we have not been disappointed. The catalogue of the Academy from, the year 1815 down to and including the year 1862, contains 4,275 names ; of these we have ascertained that 428 are dead, and learned the residences of 1,175. All the old students living in Albany, have been notified of the project ; and many notices have been sent to those residing abroad ; and our labor is not half completed. In consequence of so 'much time being consumed in ascertaining the above facts, we were not able to commence circulating the subscription books until about three weeks since, and the sum of $1,725 has already been sub- scribed ; and we shall use every exertion to swell the amount to at least ^3,500. We can not at this time report a suitable plan for the memorial, because sufficient funds have not yet been raised, to warrant our fixing upon any plan ; but we are determined to erect as handsome a monument as we can pay for ; and as you no doubt agree with us in this, you must see that the beauty of the testimonial remains entirely with yourselves. Every Alumnus to whom application was made, with one or two exceptions — responded nobly and willingly ; and while some paid heartfelt tributes to Dr. Beck's many virtues and acquirements, his striking peculiarities were remembered by all. And now gentlemen of the Alumni, we have reported to you what we have done ; and we now ask you what are you going to do ? Dr. Beck and the Albany Academy are inseparable and indisso- lubly connected. No one can think of that old freestone building. PROCEEDINGS. 31 whither the tribes went up daily, and where the discipline was moral suasion and stick united in such excellent proportions, that while all we felt at the time was the stick, the moral suasion has governed our lives ever since, without also calling to mind the pleasant counte- nance of him, who for more than thirty years was its principal. The positions of honor which so many of you occupy, are due to his teaching and counsel ; the success in life which has attended so many of you, is but the building erected by you on the foundations he laid ; and while you honor him by this testimonial in the only way in your power, you still owe him a greater debt than you can pay. This close connexion between the Academy and Dr. Beck, leads us too frequently to consider him only as a teacher ; and to picture his life as passed in making the hill of science of easy ascent to unwilling feet; in answering stupid questions put by stupid boys; and in endeavoring to excite the brain to healthy action by pro- ducing a counter irritation on some other part of the body ; and then at his death to be " wafted to bliss by little cherub boys all heads and wings, with no backs to reproach his sublunary infirmi- ties." But great and useful as the teacher's calling is, Dr. Beck was much more than all this. Acknowledged at home as a leader in his peculiar branch of science, his fame spread abroad, and the scientific men of other countries sought to honor him ; and laurels obtained at home were entwined on his brow with laurels obtained abroad. Wherever science is known the name of Dr. Beck is known ; and gentlemen of the Alumni, this is the man at whose feet you were taught. You owe it to the city of Albany that the memory of one of its citizens so esteemed abroad, should never be forgotten at home, and that there should be some lasting tribute to his worth, to keep his memory green. You owe it to the cause of science throughout the world, that one of its most distinguished followers should receive at your hands some token of your appreciation of his great genius. You owe it to the Albany Academy — who, if she had forgotten how old she really was, would be constrained to take her place among the educational grandmothers, as she sees how many " old 32 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. fellows ai*e mixed in with the boys" — you owe it to her, that her principal of over thirty years standing, should be substantially re- membered, by her four thousand children and grand children. You owe it to this society, who acts as your agent, that you should assist and aid it by every means in your power ; and not request it to work for you, and then withhold the means for making that work effective. And more than all you owe it to yourselves, that you should fully carry out the resolutions you have passed ; that you should erect some testimonial worthy of the man, the old Academy and your- selves ; and should show that you have a proper appreciation of his great talents and genius, of his virtues and wonderful modesty, of his useful instructions and wise counsels. Gentlemen, we do not stand before you as beggars. This is your own work ; we are only endeavoring to persuade you to do it well. We will not make bricks without straw : but if you are willing to furnish the straw, we will willingly go around and gather it. From what we know of our Treasurer, we are ready to affirm that he can not be wearied in signing his name to receipts for money to the Beck monument fund; and if any of you doubt this statement we wish you would try him. Let not this resolution passed by you almost eight years ago re- main longer unfulfilled. Do not abandon the position you then occupied ; but let this city contain a memorial to show through all time the lasting affection of pupils to so beloved a teacher. At successive periods the exercises were diversified by the music of Home, Siveet Home, of Rest, Sjiirit, Rest, and of other appro- priate harmonies. The following Commemorative Oration was then pronounced by the Honorable Alexander W. Bradford, LL. D., of New York, a former student of the Academy. COMMEMORATIVE ADDRESS. Mr. President^ Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees, Gentlemen of the Faculty, Alumni and Students of the Academy, Ladies and Gentlemen of Albany : You have called me to my birth-place, the home of my childhood and my education, the land where my ancestors lived and died, through many generations — and I appear at your summons. It is with a heart full to overflowing. Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said This is my own, my native land ! In this presence of the beautiful, the refined and cultivated, the learned and renowned, I feel that I have great need for some of that inspiration which the ancient poets invoked, at the opening of their verse, from the Divine Muse — for, of myself, I am wholly un- able to give utterance to the crowding thoughts and emotions, the remembrances, the pleasures and pains, the visions of the past, which this occasion creates or recalls. After revolving years, the time has arrived to note a memorable Epoch in the history of this institution — when we can look back upon the days which are gone, and forward into the days which are to come, and from the survey, gather and apply the maxims and wisdom of experience. An Anniversary is a well-spring of joys and sorrows, regrets and hopes, gushing all out together over the soul — a fountain, now as it were of tears, and again irradiated in the sun- shine with all the colors and tints of the rainbow of promise. It joins hand to hand, the living and the dead; and tenderly embraces 5 34 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. us — with them — in its circle of revolution. Like Janus, with its key it unlocks the door of the past, and with its staff it points to the journey of the future. JBi/rons, with two visions, it looks both ways through all eternity, and thus fills time with its gaze. As members of the same family whose youth for fifty years have dwelt together in the same mansion of learning, and drank at the same springs of knowledge; as fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, we all have the most touching associations clustering around the Academy, and imparting a deep interest to the present moment. Fifty years cut no deep furrow in the brow of time — a thousand years are but as yesterday — as a watch in the night. But the race of men is like the race of leaves, says Homer, and fifty years make a broad sweep in the ingathering of the harvest of humanity. They cover two generations, with the spring of birth, the life of summer, the autumn of decline, and the winter of death. Retiring from the bustle, noise and din of the active struggles of life, let us quietly meditate together, upon the grave themes suggested by this lapse of time, and its Commemoration. There is no place on the continent, which for so long a period, preserved so many features of historic interest, as Albany. Permit me to glance briefly at some points of its history. Upon the lowlands which skirt the borders of the North sea, and on the neck of the Cimbric Chersonesus, there lived in the days of Caesar and Tacitus, a race of men called Teots, Teutons, the ancestors of the Dutch. The Angles and Saxons, and the Teutons, were of the same stock, and spoke the same tongue. The former, about the middle of the fifth century, invaded England, and were the progeni- tors of that great nation which has given laws, language, civil and religious liberty, to a vast portion of the world. The latter remained at home, and in process of time vindicated the rights of man, and liberty of conscience, in a terrible struggle of arms, and baptism of blood. This sturdy race of freemen, thus divided, in England and in Holland, became the witness and the keeper of the truth, in regard to the rights of man and the principles of civil and constitutional freedom ; and at the present day, wherever their descendants can be traced, we find prevailing a profound sense of the dignity of humanity, the high behests of religion, and the just supremacy of law and order. The two branches were united in a remarkable manner, in COMMEMORATIVE ADDRESS. 35 the discovery and settlement of New York. Hudson was an Eng- lishman in the service of the Dutch. The crew of his ship consisted of English and Dutch. Soon after the foundation of the colony, English traders appeared and established themselves j and ultimately, on the conquest of the provincfe by the English in 1664, the basis was laid for a more complete mingling of the two races, thus united together after a separation of 1200 years. They were both cold and reserved ; both hardy, bold and stubborn ; but the outward shell covered, as the ice-bound Hecla, hidden fires and energies, which, when aroused, led to adventurous voyages, perilous explorations, settlements in the remote wilderness, confronting of savages, priva- tions, toils and sufferings, exploits and heroic deeds, on land and sea ! A great and mighty race, this Teutonic 1 Nothing daunted by arctic ice or torrid sun, sandy desert or rugged mountain, it traverses the ocean from pole to pole, and girts the earth with its spreading power. In the year of our Lord 1609, Henry Hudson, in the good yacht Half-Moon, of forty lasts or eighty tons burden, with a crew of twenty sailors, came groping along our coast, from Hudson's Bay to the Chesapeake, in search of a passage to those oriental regions whose treasures of costly fabrics, spices, gold and precious stones, dazzled the visions of the early mariners, with glittering hopes of fabulous riches. In the month of September, he ascended the river which bears his name, until ho found it no further navigable. On the 19th, having sent out a boat to explore the stream, which proceeded as far as the town of Half-Moon, named after his ship, he himself anchored at Albany. He records that the Indians " came aboard, and brought tobacco and beads, and made an oration, and shewed him all the country round about.'"' And he found it a goodly country, fair and pleasant to the eye. There were, to use his very language, " goodly oakes and walnut trees, chestnut trees, yew trees, and trees of sweet wood in great abundance, and great store of slate for houses, and other good stones." The people were " very loving." They flocked around him with friendly gifts of rich furs and robes of martin, mink, otter, beaver and sable. Food abounded in plentous- ness; fish, oysters, Indian corn, pumpkins, grapes, venison, turkeys, partridges — pipes and tobacco, which, I suppose, maybe considered food by a Dutchman. Yonder plains and heights, excepting here 36 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. and there a field, were then covered -with the primitive trees of the forest, down to the edge of the gently gliding river, fringed with the drooping willow that laved its clear waters. By the little brooks we have so often forded in our childhood, nestled Indian huts, with wife and child, and modest maiden and lordly hunter. All Nature smiled and beamed in loveliness and beauty. It was an exquisite scene of Arcadian peace and felicity, inviting with extended arms to repose and serene happiness. And here came a little flock, of sim- ple liabits, who were minded to get away from the dismal fens and crowded cities of Holland. And when their report went home, that " our people are in good heart, and live in peace there — the women have also borne some children there — they had all their grain sowed by the middle of May and reaped by the middle of August," the news spread widely, and crowds up&n crowds came to the ships eager to find a passage to the Happy Valley. And thus was founded Albany, by a peace-loving, liberty-loving, Grod-loving people. They built a fort — they traded with the Indians — they breasted, in their canoes, the rifts of the Hudson and the Mohawk — they penetrated the depths of the forest — they gathered stores of furs, and sent deeply laden ships to Holland and to China, returning with double value in all manner of wealth. With peculiar faculty for concilia- tion, they had lived, with the exception of a brief period in 1641, in amity with the neighboring tribes, and they were never disturbed by hostile incursions, until the ambition and cupidity of the French in Canada broke the repose of nearly a century. From that time until the close of the Revolution, Albany was a frontier fortress : and its traditions of Indian councils, of wars, ambuscades, massacres, the tomahawk and scalping knife, the midnight torch, the going into captivity, running the gauntlet, and the burning at the stake, the great armies, and their notable generals, exceeded in stirring interest and pathos the romance of the artificial tragedy. They were in many respects truly Homeric. Nor had the city lost traces of its early character, in 1813, when the Academy was founded. At that period it retained much of its primitive appearance, and the people their ancient manners and habits. The quaint old Dutch gables surmounted with weather- cocks, had not disappeared. The split doors, over the lower half of which the tidy, handsome matron leaned, watching for the return of COMMEMORATIVE ADDRESS. 37 her husband ; the window seat where the tender-eyed maiden glanced out upon the passers-by, expecting by no means to see her lover; the stoop with its two benches, where by day the ^)ai"in(jiples of liberty and universal emancipation, and bound together by the wholesome restraints of law, of justice, of constitutional obligations and of national unity. 54 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. Let us teacli these principles to our children. Let them be promulgated in our schools, and by our firesides. Let us live by them — let us die for them. And although the earth be moved, and the people rage and swell, and the kings of the earth imagine a vain thing, Let us stand by our trust, inflexible, invincible and immoveable. But lo I ■where sunk in deep despair — Her garments torn, her bosom bare — Impatient Fi'eedom lies, Her matted tresses madly spread — To every sod ■wliicli "wraps the dead She turns her joyless eyes : Ne'er shall she leave that lowly ground Till notes of triumph, bursting round, Proclaim her reign restored. And receiving the hallowed words of blessing from the ministry of the Lord Jesus, the meeting separated in the pleasant recollection of an occasion of high moral and intellectual enjoyment. REUISriON. In the evening at 8 o'clock the Alumni gathered in force at the great hall of the Academy — a beautiful room — whose extent and proportions were by every one admired. Many of the alumni re- membered how long the construction of the room was one of the perplexities of the building ; and in what mysteries of scaffolding it was for many years encumbered; and to most of those who gathered there, this superb hall was never shown in more beauty than on this evening, when, in all the brilliancy of a vivid and well displayed light, and with tasteful ornament, the crowd of active men assembled to give an enthusiastic close to the high literary exercises of the day. One decoration was seen with significant approbation, and wel- comed in its own beauty of fabric and in its association. It was the national banner, in silk, exquisitely made by a lady; and which had been the distinguishing ornament and symbol at the great world's exhibition in London, of the court devoted to American product, and which was loaned for the evening by the distinguished representative of our country at that fete of industry. Col. B. P. Johnson. On the motion of John Tayler Hall, Esq., of the Committee of Arrangements, William H. Bogart was selected to preside over the gathering of the evening. On taking the chair, Mr. Bogart said : Fellow Students : — We have met to night to celebrate the golden wedding of our literary mother; a wedding rich as that which Pluto of old held in Academus. As we gathered this afternoon, 66 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. the historian and the orator folded our mother in the silk and hro- cade of their scholarly research and eloquence, for us, so joyously gathered in this beautiful hall, to make, if we can, this evening a brilliant one, and to give it as the diamond ring for this renewal of the life of fifty years. We, who are assembled here, are the representatives of the thou- sands — of all who have gone out to fight the battle of life, in the long years that have departed since the Academy was made an insti- tution of Albany. We call the roll; and ours are all of living voice that makes ans-uFer. Can we not say of some of those whom the grave claims — as is yet said, in the guard of France, of La Tour D'Auvergne, as his name is uttered — died on the field of honor? Some of us know the weariness, and waste, and woe, of the struggle ; and it is as well that there are some among us in this festivity to night who are not yet instructed by reality beyond the hope, that what existence seems to be, it is. We have come back to our home, and the halls give us welcome. They do not change. They are in the life of the physical, and we decay beneath the cares that have never ceased to accompany us. I am glad to tell you we are not alone to-night. The teachers of other days have come up with us, and we shall hear their utterances. They shall find we have not forgotten to be attentive. They are here to see that they builded well ; that this structure of their work has not been the ephemeral and the false, but of the old, and sound, and true, of learning. We shall have abiding cause to congratulate each other of this day and evening. We exult in the memories of the past. We look at the present to find that the trust of education is here ful- filled to the very honesty of science and progress. In the grand old scholars who gave the earnest to the life of letters here, we have a common property. We can forgive Michael O'Shaunessy, wc can forgive Joseph Shaw, their somewhat heavy discipline ; that is long since obliterated. In their depth of science, in their strength of mind, they live in our success. While of Dr. Beck, there is but one memory — one joyous association — the delight that so many of us, of different eras of education, are bound together in his administration. The first of the belles-lettres scholars in the state, he gave his illustrious mind, which would have dignified the REUNION. 57 proudest college in the Land, to the Albany Academy; and if over man was honored by his scholars, it is the man whose name is the central thouyht of the ovation of this day. The often quoted words by which Johnson expressed to Westminster Abbey the world's judgment of Goldsmith, arc again the truth when uttered of our teacher : He touched nothing but that he adorned it. The Albany Academy might be obliterated from this hour ; but literature could not spare its history from its annals, because it was the home of Dr. Eeck. We clasp hands over his name. Profound, decorative, sagacious, facetious ; the ruler and the playmate of the boys of thirty years of the school-room. We knew the truth of his will, the delight of his wit, the wealth of his learning, the keenness of his common sense. My fellow students, I am proud to remember the practical character of the studies which have been pui'sued in these halls. Not so much the abstrusities of mathematical learning, nor the perplexities of Greek and Latin verse. The studies here have been for the life of men. In the great exhibition at London in 1862, there was the court devoted to the products of Russia, in its magnificence of malachite ; its profusion of all that art could illustrate of the glories of precious stones, of all the devices of luxury. By its side was the American court. The Indian corn, the reaper, the mower, the cultivator, the steam engine — inventions to make greater the amount of food for man ; to make lighter the toil of the weary laborer. That was all our department showed to the millions who, from all quarters of the earth, came to the crystal palace. The one made more beautiful the domain of the illustrious few ; the other made glad the homes of the people. We resign to the college its intensities of acquisition. We step aside to give place to first man and senior wrangler. The few win such honor, and fewer wear it, in the long years of real life. It is enough for us, to-night, to exult in the fact, that for fifty years the Albany Academy has taught so many to make bright the common roll of men. At the close of his address the President said : I congratulate the x\lumni and Students that the Rev. Dr. Isaac Ferris, the chan- cellor of the New York university, is with us this evening; but it 8 58 ALBANY ACADEMT SEMI-CENTENNIAL. is not in that dignity we now address liim. A teacher in the Academy, in its very earliest years, he has come to join us to-night in our festivity. We welcome him enthusiastically ; but I must he careful ; yet I think I can venture it. Professor Ferris, will you please to speak to the boys ? The Reverend Chancellor Ferris then addressed the meeting. Mr. President and very respected Friends : — I rise not to make a special speech but to talk. I avail myself of the privilege granted to my time of life, and leave the special speeches to my young friends. This is to me a most interesting day, as it carries my mind back to the commencement of active life. I supjjose I stand here as the oldest living worker in the department of teaching in the Academy here present; and but one earlier than myself survives. I was Bcai'cely eighteen when I came, in the fall of 1816, to be an assistant to Dr. Shaw in the classical department. I had just graduated at Columbia college, and was honored with the recommendation of President Harris and Dr. Peter Wilson to the trustees. My work was begun in the old building, corner of Lodge and State streets, and was finished after the removal to this building, then in an unfinished state. It was to me an eventful period ; as I then shoved my boat off from the parental haven to do as so many American lads do — take care of myself. It has been to me a great satisfac- tion to shake by the hand to-day two of my pupils ; one of whom I see before me, my friend. Dr. Bogart of Staten Island, who was in my Sallust class. Alas, where are the rest ? • After the lapse of several years, having become the pastor of the Second Dutch church, I was introduced into the board of trustees. Melancholy thoughts come to my mind when I look back to my colaborers in the board. We have heard to-day noble testimonies to the distinguished professors who have here spent their strength, and secured renown to this Academy; and I maybe permitted to speak of the active and influential auxiliaries they had in the board of trustees ; of Drs. Ludlow, Chester, Weed ; and Messrs. Webster, Kane, and His Honor, Judge Conkling, and Dr. Gideon Hawley, and others; men always ready to work — always watching for the best interests of the institution. Several of them have gone to REUNION. 59 their reward, and others arc far on their journey. I have been connected with various boards of trustees, but with none nioro ready to meet the calls of an institution for time and service. This must be regarded as most momentous to tlie success of any such enterprise. My attachment has ever been very strong to the Albany Academy; and I have constantly rejoiced in its success. Its position among academic institutions is second to none other in our land. Its song are found in every profession, and not a few occupying chief places in business — in the ministry — in public life — the law — in the army and the navy. Two chief characteristics have distinguished the course of in- struction here. One is its tho7-oughness, which has never been excelled elsewhere ; and when I say thoroughness, I mean minute- ness in the detail, and that faithful and careful gathering in of everything which belongs to the sound scholar in preparation for participation in the affairs of life. There has been one tone thus in the progress of the Academy ; each succeeding professor carrying on the system where his predecessor left it. The other character- istic, in which I doubt not my friend, Dr. Campbell, will entirely agree with me, as well as in the former, is the harmony of depart- ments and instruction ; no one branch prosecuted to the disadvan- tage of another; not Latin to the neglect of the Greek; nor both these to the neglect of mathematics and natural sciences ; but all in such harmony, that when a young man who had applied himself to Btudy went before any college faculty for examination, he was received without considerations as a whole man, if I may so say — soundly educated. I see before me a large number of the present students, and I would urge them to remember that they have the honor of the Academy in their hands. I hope that, taking pattern from those who now represent the Academy in active life, they will maintain its high character. It is a pleasure to meet some of these repre- sentative men here, and among them my own boys, ecclesiastically — my honored friend, the chancellor of the board of Regents, and the president of this meeting. Mr. President, in concluding my talk, let me say, I stand here to make confession of my sins. We have heard to day of the plentiful 60 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. use of the rod in this history of the Academy, and of its value. I beg to differ from my excellent friend in his views. When I came here to teach, the special matter insisted on was, be not sparing of the rod. I followed the counsel, and gave full measure ; but from that time to this have been repenting of it. I have found, in my large intercourse with youth, that they have hearts and consciences as well as physical sensibilities; and that when the former are properly addressed much more may be accomplished. I may be asked if I would not use the rod at all ? I agree, there are cases when the rod is the proper medicine to be administered ; but I would use it as a last resort. I like very much the course of a very successful teacher in one of the old public schools of New York city. Great complaints were made in some neighborhoods of the excessive, cruel whipping in the schools.; the people around being terrified by the shrieking of the children. A Quaker member of the board was for the absolute prohibition of the rod, and strenuously argued that there was no need of it ; that other remedies for evils could be successfully employed; and the teacher I refer to was named as having pei'fect order, and no use of rod. His position concerning her was denied, and the parties in the debate referred the matter to her. They met in her room, stated the case, when she promptly said she did not use it. On this the Quaker member was exultant, when she said: Gentlemen, look here; and, lifting the lid of the desk, showed the rattan within, and remarked — I keep it here. The children know it is here. I reserve to myself the liberty to use it. It is in terrorcm. Excuse my detaining you so long. My desire for the Albany Academy is, that it may ever flourish, and be a blessing to the city and the state. As there was present some of the very best vocalists, who were also of the Alumni, it was with the highest satisfaction that the songs which are here given, were heard, as while there was a hearty and joyous union in the chorus, there was so much of the beauty of music in the voices of Messrs. Whitney, Davis, Thomas, and DiCKERMAN, and their skilled associates, that it formed a delightful feature of the evening's action. REUNION. 61 It was the contributioa of the Academy to the exquisite art of Music, and had the occasion admitted of the offering, there was gratulation in the thought that all departments of art, as well of its ornamental as of its practical, would have been illustrated by the works of those who had found in these halls their academical home. Nor thus alone, the Academy had offered to the country its life blood — and on the roll of the battlefield, the names of its sons are written in the record of carnage and of sacrifice. WE HAVE COME AGAIN TOGETHER. Air — Cocahelunk. We have come again together Here to have a jolly row, And to make these old walls echo With our merry row-de-dow.

The President. — And now we turn gratefully to the State. It has always cherished the Academies, and our own has never been forgotten in its care. But it is with especial pride we turn to the State this evening — for of that distinguished body of scholars and gentlemen, in whose care are all the Academies — the board of Regents of the University, we find in the Chancellor an Albany boy — and better stills one of our own Alumni, one who worthily and wisely discharges the duty of his high trust. We are honored in the attendance of Mr. Pruyn. "^ To which Mr. Pruyn said : The history of the Academy, Mr. Chairman, and the character and services of Dr. Beck as its principal for many years, have been so fully placed before us, that I shall not say more in regard to either, but will at once pass to some other matters which I hope may be considei'ed appropriate to the occasion. Your chairman, gentlemen, my fellow student here in my younger days, has spoken of the Regents of the university, by whom the charter of this institution was granted, and of my connection with that board. Having been one of its members for many years while Dr. Beck was its secretary, it gives me an opportunity to speak of his services in a position quite distinct from his relationship to the Academy. Dr. Beck was elected to this office in the year 1841, and it has been well said by one of the gentlemen who addressed you, that he discharged its duties with faithfulness, ability, and success. It is an old remark that an office is often honored by the man who fills it. Sir Walter Scott, you will remember, for a long while performed the duties of a clerk of the court of session, while he was engaged in his most arduous labors as an author : and so with Dr. Beck. For years while busy in literary tasks of in- terest and importance, he discharged with his own hands an almost incredible amount of detail work. Ilis literary and official labors, REUNION. 63 the care of estates held by him as trustee, his common place book, his note book of current literature, and of works to be procured for the State library, in the affairs of which as secretary of the trustees he took the most active interest, all combined, never seemed to leave him a moment unoccupied. And although he was fond of social life, and was a most attractive and welcome member of every circle which he entered, he often yielded its claims, to the constant de- mands upon his time of which I have spoken. On the death of Dr. Beck, a meeting was held of former students of the Academy, at which a committee was appointed to take measures to erect a suitable memorial to commemorate his worth and services. Some steps were taken in the matter, but several causes, among which I may name the death of some of the com- mittee, and the absence or removal of others, seemed to interfere with its completion. I speak from personal knowledge when I say, that it was intended some time ago to undertake the work with a determination to carry it through, when the society of whose action you have been informed to-day, came forward and assumed the duty with a spirit and zeal which calls for the warmest praise. The few minutes I may occupy your time are almost gone, but I wish to say a word on another subject. The restoration of our country and the great struggle now going on to maintain the Con- stitution and the Union are present with us on all occasions. The distinguished gentleman (Mr. Bradford) who spoke to us this after- noon, in the close of his address, urged upon us most strongly, the importance of upholding the supremacy of the Constitution and the Laws. I can not add to his eloquent words. I can only beg you to remember them. The time may soon come when your principles may be put to the trial. And should it come, I hope that the Alumni of this old, this conservative seat of learning, will be found unitedly and boldly standing up for the cause of law and order, for the Constitution and the Union founded by our fathers, just as they gave them to us, in their original completeness and strength, undisturbed and unimpaired. The President. — We ask the privilege of hearing one who was at the head of this institution — who is now at the head of that old and sound school of religious teachiutr — Ilutgers Collesre — who 64 ALBANT ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. has gracefully blended the devout and deep theologian with the severe scholar, who has left in the annals of our institution, a com- plete memory of ability — a master of the classics, and not less, of his own language, as I am sure we shall realize when he addresses \is. I present to you fellow students, the Keverend Doctor Wil- liam II. Campbell. To which the Rev. Dr. Campbell made the following response. Mr. Chairman : You do me too much honor in calling on me to speak on this occasion. I regard it as a high honor to be allowed to speak at the Semi-Centennial of the Albany Academy, and to such an audience as this. I lived long enough in Albany to know it well, and to love it greatly for its worth. And on leaving it, I placed in my study those mementoes which would serve to keep Albany ever in mind. On the mantel is a plaster cast of Adam Clarke, once the property of Simeon De Witt, and the gift to me of my friend llichard Varick DeWitt, who is with us this evening. There is also sus- pended near by, in one frame, the photographs of all the Alpha Sigmas, that worthy band. Alumni of the Albany Academy, and my own pupils, unto whom has been entrusted' the worthy work of rearing some fitting and lasting memorial of Theodric Romeyn Beck. But Mr. Chairman, I have in my study, and constantly in my sight, another picture. It is of one, who, I am proud to say, was my friend. I need not intimate to you, I am speaking of Dr. Beck. He was a man, a longer acquaintance with whom, only served to deepen my veneration and love for him. I knew him well from 1841 till the time of his death. And while I gladly affirm that he was all that has been said of him to day, I will add further, that he was eminently a just, pure and useful man. Every one who hears me will bear a willing testimony, that in saying this of Dr. Beck, I am adhering strictly to the resolution of President Edwards, always in narrations to speak the simple verity. I feel, sir, that it is a great honor to be here to night. Albany has seen two proud days in the period of my acquaintance with it. The first was that of the Dedication of the Dudley Observatory. The second is this day, on which we celebrate the Semi-Centennial of the Albany Academy. I want to sec the simple story of this Academy, REUNION. 66 as its historian INIr. Meads, and its orator Mr. Bradford have given it to us to day, published to the world. And I shall be sur2)rised, if, on reading it, one person can be found, who will hesitate to say that this Academy has a history superior to that of any similar institution in the land. Albanians may well be proud of that history. I can fully endorse all that has been said about the extent and thoroughness of the education, which is here imparted. And there is but one period, and that a brief one, in regard to which this high commendation may be questionable. I allude to the period in which I, myself, was the principal of the Albany Academy. The President. — About the day of the Kevolution, there was a very serious dispute between New York and Vermont in relation to disputed territory. New York stoutly claimed a large area, which claim was as stoutly resisted by Vermont. One of our honored guests this evening has repented, though born in Vermont, and has- tened to New York, to indicate his sense of the justice of our claim; and gladly welcomed he is to Albany, which he has chosen as his residence. Welcomed everywhere ! For his voice of graceful poetic expres- sion is of the language of the heart, and has become the lanrruao-e of the people. We all welcome to-night the Hon. John Gt. Saxe. To which Mr. Saxe made graceful answer as follows : Mr. Chairman : — It is true, as you said among the more flattering remarks with which you were jileased to introduce me, that I had not the honor to be born in Albany, nor indeed in the state of New York. But I am sure it will not be imputed to me as a fault, when it is considered that I was not consulted as to the place of my birth. I have done, however, the best that might be, under the circum- stances. After having been fairly born, and carefully reared amono- the green mountains of a neighboring state, so soon as I had arrived at a suitable age (I will not say " the age of discretion " ) as to be in some degree worthy by culture and conduct to become a citizen of this good city of Albany, I immediately removed hither • and, let me add, have been warmly welcomed and kindly treated. During the two years of my residence here, I have seen a good deal of your schools, and have marked with pleasure the rather unusual 66 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. degree of public spirit manifested by the people of Albany in respect of their seminaries of learning. I have seen less of tliis Academy than of the other high schools ; but I must infer from her children, so largely and so handsomely represented here to-night, that she must be a very excellent alma mater. Orlando Meads, Esq., then read, to the great satisfaction of the audience, the following letter from Joseph Henry, the Presi- dent of the Smithsonian Institution, and a scholar and teacher in the Albany Academy. It was incidentally remarked, that he had indicated the claim of the Academy to the production of a name in scholarship and scientific acquirement to which was awarded high place throughout all the wide world of civilization ; and the interest evidenced by him in the proceedings of to-day was very grateful to all who had participated in its most interesting incidents. Washington, June 23f?, 1863. My Dear Mr. Meads : Your letter and the circular of the Com- mittee, inviting me to attend the semi-centennial celebration of the Albany Academy, were duly received ; and I have endeavored to make such an arrangement of my aifairs as would enable me to be present; but I am sorry to inform you, that on account of duties which have been devolved upon me as a member of a commission, appointed by one of the departments of the government, I am unexpectedly at this time unable to leave Washington. I need not say to you that it would be a source of much enjoy- ment to me, though not unmixed with sadness, to be present at the celebration of so important an epoch in the history of an institution with which the earlier portions of my own life were so intimately connected; to turn back, as it were, the pages of the mysterious book of latent memory, and to have presented to me the events, the objects and the associates of years long gone by. The ])ast and the present would, however, be mingled together in a varied picture of light and shade — of pleasure in greeting the surviving friends of former times, and of melancholy in holding converse in imagination with those who have departed — of gratification in beholding the improvements which, in time, have been wrought in the city of my birth; and of sadness in view of the changes, even for the better, which have rendered me a stranger in the homo of my childhood. REUNION. 67 Were I able to be present, I would gladly embrace the opportu- nity to say a few words in commendation of the system and method of education which were pursued in the Academy during the first quarter of a century of its existence, and which I trust still con- tinues to be followed. I would also request to be allowed to state my own indebtedness to the Academy, and to the great and good men connected with it for thoughts, principles and habits, which have been of inestimable service in sustaining and guiding me in the arduous duties of a responsible position. I am glad to learn that measures are in progress to secure the means of erecting a monument to the memory of Dr. Beck, who has done more than any other individual for the intellectual im- provement of the city of Albany. It is true that his fame requires no column of parian marble for its perpetuity, since, if at the cele- bration a stranger should ask for his monument, the answer given, on another occasion would be highly appropriate, namely, " look around.'' It is not to him, but to themselves, a simple act of duty, that the Alumni should not suffer his grave to be undistinguished among those of ordinary men, for want of the appropriate token of respect. It will give me pleasure to be permitted to add my mite to this tribute of affection and esteem. Truly your friend and servant, Joseph Henry. And now, according to all practice of past and present years, a recess was taken, to give opportunity for the enjoyment of the colla- tion which the thoughtful liberality of the Committee of Arrange- ments had provided. The recoi'd of this hour of the evening was one of joyous con- verse — of pleasant social reunion — of kind memories awakened — of gentle memories of those whose life had found the great end come all too soon or sudden — of whatever belongs to a gathering of active, vigorous, genial men, finding the door of their old school once more open to them, and some rekindling of a picture, whose coloring the shadows of years of care in the education of life's realities had deepened. An Albany boy — a true artist in his profession — Mr. Benjamin M. Briare, furnished the delicious materiel of the collation. 68 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENMAL. The following song, written for the occasion by William H. Mc- Elroy, an Alumnus of the Academy, was sung during the recess : ALMA MATER 0. We're gathered now, my schoolmates, to join once more in song. To pluck from memory's -wreath the buds which there so sweetly throng : To backward gaze on boyhood's days, then on in life to go ; But ere we start we'll drink the health of Alma Mater 0. CnoKDS — Oh Alma Mater 0, oh Alma Mater 0, But ere we start, we'll drink the health of Alma Mater 0. No more for us yon tuneful bell shall ring for morning prayers, No more to Friday spoutings, shall we mount the well worn stairs ; Our recitations are all passed — Alumni all — you know, We'll swell the praises long and loud of Alma Mater 0. Chorus — Oh Alma Mater 0, &c. Hither we come with hearts of joy, with joy we now will part. And give to each the parting grasp, which speaks a brother's heart ; United firm in pleasing words, which can no breaking know, For we're the boys who ne'er forget our Alma Mater 0. CnoKus — Oh Alma Mater 0, &c. Then brush the tear-drop from your eye, and happy let us be, For joy alone shoul fill the hearts of those as blest as we ; One cheerfvil chorus, ringing loud, we'll give before we go. The mem'ry of our school-boy days and Alma Mater 0. CnoBUS — Oh Alma Mater 0, oh Alma Mater 0. Hurrah ! hurrah I for school-boy days and Alma Mater 0. Returning to the lecture hall, and again in order, the President said : Fellow Students: You will hear a brief word — for ho too modestly denies to mo the privilege of asking him to address us — REUNION. 69 from the honored and capable present head of the Academy, Pro- fessor David Murray, who keeps unbroken the golden chain of scholarship. Mr. President and Gentlemen : I am neither an alumnus, nor the son of an alumnus of this institution ; and it would be an im- pertinence in me to intrude upon this family gathering. And yet, I look upon the Albany Academy with scarcely less of love and reverence than its own children who are gathered here to-night. And when I look over this hall, and recognize so many who have been trained here in my own time, and under my own care, I feel, I assure you, more than a stranger's interest and pride in the occa- sion we are met to celebrate. It is a noble, an honorable duty that we are fulfilling. We are doing honor to an institution which, by many years of successful and patient work, has made its impress on this city. Human institutions are frail and temporary. Few are perpetuated unchanged in their nature for even fifty years. Earely is there one whose years can be counted in centuries. When, therefore, we find one which is apparently endowed with the gift of perpetuity, founded in such wisdom, and hedged round with such safeguards, and embodying such a spirit, as have prolonged its existence for half a century, and give reasonable promise of a still longer continuance, we have a right to congratulate those who founded it, and those for whom it was founded. In behalf of those, whose duty it is to give instruction in the institution at the present day, I can say there is much in this occa- sion to encourage us. It is not an easy task to follow worthily in the footsteps of the great men who have honored this Academy by their learning and ability. And when, to-night, we hear from loving and grateful lips concerning their worth and their goodness, and their illustrious virtues, we are almost constrained to bow our heads in total discouragement, and think how vain it is to lift tho sword which they wielded. And yet, when I see how tenderly the virtues of those men arc remembered by you, how strongly their kindness of heart has im- pressed itself upon your memories — how completely all unkind feelings, if they ever existed, have faded away — I cannot but look 70 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. forward, in my niincl, to the next semi-centennial celebration of the Albany Academy, when the boys of a century shall be gathered in this same hall ; when the future chancellors, and presidents, and judges, and poets, and scholars, shall be gathered upon this stage; and when, perhaps, some of these lads who are standing before us to-night, shall rise in this place, with whitened locks, and trembling- limbs, and with a voice cracked with age, shall speak of the teachers of his day. And perchance from the withered flowers of his memory he shall pluck out some fragrant blossoms, and bind them into a wreath, and with trembling hands shall lay them tenderly upon our memory. Ah ! I shall not fear to be tried by so kind and partial a tribunal. If we are remembered at all, and if our names are thought worth mentioning in the annals of the institution, there is no fear but we shall be remembered . lovingly and named with reverence. Mr. President and Gentlemen, by your gathering here to-day, by your interest in this celebration, by your kind memories of your old instructors, you not only fulfill an act grateful to your own feel- ings, but you give aid and encouragement to all who have.the care and management of this institution. For myself, I thank you; and whether I spend many years or few here, I shall remember with delight and gratitude the semi-centennial celebration of the Albany Academy in 1863. It being ascertained that Mrs. Pierre Van Cortlandt of West- chester county, a daughter of Dr. Beck, honored the gathering of the evening by her presence, the enthusiastic loyalty to the memo- ry of her father, borne by all present, found manly utterance in three ringing cheers of homage to his representative. There being a very beautiful boquet of flowers on the table of the President, he was by the Alumni directed to present it in their name to Mrs. Van Cortlandt ; which very acceptable duty he dis- charged, saying — for all gathered in the hall — that were every leaf in it vocal, it would utter to her the words, Forget Me Not. REUNION. 71 Then with a real grandeur of voice, Auld Lang Sync was sung. ALPII SIGMA — AULD LANG SYNE. Should high old times be e'er forgot, Aud never brought to mind, Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And days of Auld Lang Syne. Cnonus — For auld lang syne, my boys, For auld lang syne ; We'll take a cup of kindness yet, For auld lang syne. Oh could we e'er in any sphere. So proudly bend the neck As to forget our Schoolboy days. The "Den and Dr. Beck. Chorus — For auld lang syne, &c. The little poodle with the bell, The " last day's " bedlam scenes. The telegraphs along the desks. The Exhibition beans. Chorus — For auld lang syne, &c. The pieces that we spoke so well, The spitballs that we threw, The caterpillars that we reared, I can't forget — can you ? Chorus — For auld lang syne, &c. But time would fail to tell of all The high old times we had ; When each one here with whiskers now Was but a hairless lad. Chorus — For auld lang syne, &c. Yet still we will remember tliem. And sing them off in rliyme ; Thus old acquaintance's not forgot. Nor days of Auld Lang Syne. Chorus — For auld lang sync, &c. 72 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.

The Alumni of the Albany Academy assembled on its first Semi-Centennial Anniversary, for the purpose of better preserv- ing their connection with their Alma Mater, and of more effectually cherishing its memories, hereby form themselves into an organiza- tion to be known and designated as " The Alumni Association of the Albany Academy." Such Association shall be composed of all former students of the Academy, of all students who may hereafter graduate and of the teachers of the Academy. II. The Officers of the Association shall be a President, two Vice- Presidents, a Treasurer, a Secretary, and five Directors, who shall constitute the Executive Committee. They shall be elected at the Annual Meeting in such manner as the Association shall prescribe. III. There shall be an Annual Meeting of the Association on the last Friday of the Academic year, and it shall be the duty of the Executive Committee to provide for that meeting an oration and Buch other exercises as they may deem desirable. IV. This Constitution, or any of its articles, may be amended by the votes of a majority of the members of the Association present at any Annual Meeting. REUNION. 73 This joyous and memorable evening drew to its close. It had been the last chapter in a volume of kindly memories. Gathered at that Present of fifty years, which had been to the courageous founders of the Academy such a far off Future, it was one of the gentle but most welcome voices of time; and its philosophy was interpreted by all hearts. The hour for the farewell came. The Preshlent. — I declare this meeting of the Alumni of the Albany Academy adjourned till 8 o'clock of the evening of the twenty-sixth day of June, 1913 ; and I must request of you all to be punctual. And thus this memorable celebration ended j leaving with all the most cordial and pleasant memories. 10 LETTERS. The following letters among many otliers, have been received by the Committee of Arrangements. They will commend themselves by their genial spirit and delightful reminiscences. From John Romeyn Brodhead, LL. D., Author of the History of New York. New York, 25th June, 1863. My Dear Sir, On my return home, after seeing you at Albany last week, I found the invitation you had sent me to take part in the Celebration of the Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the Academy to-morrow. I have delayed a formal acknowledgment, in the hope that I might be able to be with you in person, on this interesting occasion. But I am very sorry that this pleasure can not be mine ; and my disappointment is the greater, because I had counted much on listening to Mr. Bradford's oration, and your own historical sketch of our Alma Mater. Moreover, I hoped to have met some others of my surviving schoolmates, and renewed the memories of the summer of 1823 — forty years ago — when we used to make the campus ring with our merry noise, after we had escaped the scrutiny of Shaw, and the severity of O'Shaunessey. LETTERS. 75 But, more than all, I should have been glad to join in a tribute of gratitude and respect to the memory of our venerated principal, Doctor Beck. In his death the Academy lost one who did more than any other man to give it its present high renown. I trust that a prominent result of the commemoration will be a fitting me- morial of his rare worth. Those who grew up under his eye ; whose progress in life he watched and recorded with such affectionate so- licitude ; and who owe so much to his grand and generous teachings, will not, I am sure, fail to make true the words of the poet. " Quiqiie sui mcmores alios fecerc merendo, Omnibus his nived cinguntur tempora vittd." I remain, my dear sir. With great regard, Sincerely yours, John Romeyn Brodhead. Orlando Meads, Esq., &c., «&c., Albany. From the JRev. John Mason Ferris, son of Chancellor Ferris. Grand Kapids, Mich., June 17th, 1863. David Murray, Esq., Dear Sir : The invitation to attend the Semi-Centennial of the Academy, has been received. It would be an unusual pleasure to participate in exercises so in- teresting, but duty here will hold me fast. It may be a satisfaction to know, that on the 25th, two of the Academy boys will finish chief parts in the examination of the Holland Academy, Mich., viz : Rev. Philip Phelps as principal of the institution, and myself as orator before the Literary Society and member of the council of the Academy. I am simply a pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church, doing now, and for over 8 years, what I can in helping along the religious and intellectual improvement of the West. It is pretty had work now and then, but there is always a blessing in it. It was not my privilege to graduate at the Academy, but I was there long enough to be reading Greek. How can we ever be thank- 76 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. ful cnougli to Prof. Bullions for liis drill in the Latin and Greek grammars. Wasn't it splendid. The clear and entertaining talk of Dr. Beck, gave me a taste for natural sciences, and what is still better, gave me so correct a basis, that from that day to this I have had no difficulty in apprehending anything read or heard pertaining to that branch of study. Indeed it has been a pleasure to keep tolerably well read up in those matters. Well, gray hairs gradually increasing in number, tell me I must begin to go down the decline before long, but it is quite invigorat- ing to remember again the good times we used to have in the old Academy. God bless her more and more. May she stand and thrive as long as Dr. Cummings will allow the world to last. Yours heartily and respectfully, John Mason Fekris. From Rev. E. P. Rogers of New York, recently a Trustee of the Academij. South Dutch Church, Fifth ave., cor. 21st street. "> June 23d, 1863. j D. Murray, Esq., Dear Sir : I have received your polite invitation to be present at the Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the Albany Academy. It is with sincere regret that I am obliged to decline it. My engage- ments at that time arc such as to make it impracticable to be with you. Allow me, however, to congratulate the trustees, faculty and friends of the Academy on the arrival of such an interesting era in the history of the Institution. In fifty years how much it has done for the promotion of sound learing, and how much it has added to the intellectual resources of the state ! Among its five thousand pupils, have doubtless, been many who have reflected honor upon their Alma Mater, and her fostering care. I sincerely trust that the history of the Academy in the next fifty years will be one of in- creasing pi'osperity. I shall always remember my connection with it as one of its trustees with pleasure, and rejoice to contribute still, in any way to its welfare. LETTERS. 77 In tlic hope that the interest of the occasion to which I have had the honor of an invitation will be all that it should be, and with my best regards to the trustees and faculty, I remain, dear sir, Your with much esteem, E. P. Rogers. From Rev. John Toionsend, son of the late Hon. John Townsend of Albany. TVallingford, June 24, 1863. Prof. Murray, Dear Sir : I am in receipt of the invitation to be present at the Semi-Centennial celebration of the Albany Academy. It would afford me very great pleasure to be present on the occasion, were it in my power, which, I very much regret to say, it will not be. I am very glad indeed that the idea for this celebration has been taken up and is being acted upon. It must indirectly tend to the advantage of the Academy, and serve to create a unity of interest among the Alumni. And all this apart from the satisfaction that will be afforded to those who may turn from the busy pursuits of life, to renew, in what now have become venerable walls, the delightful memories of school-boy days. Anything that would be suggestive of all this, can not but be of value and be worthy of receiving attention. Trusting that the former prosperity of the Academy may not only be continued, but increased in coming years, and that God's bless- ing may ever rest upon all those connected with it. I am, with much respect. Yours very truly, John Townsend. 78 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. From Bev. Dr. M. Van Rensselaer, President of De Veaux College. Suspension Bridge, Juno 25th, 1863. Dear Sir : I have been cherishing the hope up to the last moment, that T should be able to join my fellow Alumni of the Albany Academy, in celebrating its fiftieth Anniversary. Imperative engagements, however, compel me reluctantly to deny myself the anticipated pleasure. Most gladly would I have renewed my acquaintance with my venerable Alma Mater, on this most interesting occasion, in common with my old associates, and the host of noble men she has sent forth to the battle of life. Most gladly would I have revived the recollections of those faithful instructors who formed my youthful mind, and gave me the first taste for learning, and whose eminence as scholars and teachers was only equaled by their elevated tone of character and the high principles they inculcated on their pupils. Beck, Henry, Bullions, Ten Eyck, and others, not one of whom that was not thoroughly qualified for his place or failed to fulfill its duties with the student conscientiously. Regretting that this poor tribute to their worth and to the value of the venerable Institution, is all that I can render on this interesting occasion, I am very respectfully. Your obedient servant, M. Van Rensselaer. D. Murray, Esq., Principal, &c., Albany. LETTERS. 79 From Manton 3Iarble, JEsq., Editor of the New York World. New York, June 25tli, 1863. My Dear Sir : I had the pleasure of receiving, a few days ago, the circular letter addressed to former students of the Albany Academy, inviting them to meet to-morrow and join in the celebration of its Semi-Cen- tennial Anniversary. Until the present moment I have hoped to be able to be in Albany, and to join in the exercises by which you will commemorate the day, but now, to my great regret, find myself compelled to re- main here. The period during which I was a student in the Academy, enjoy- ing its manifold advantages, was that in which Prof. Geo. H. Cook, and Prof. Wm. A. Miller, your honored predecessors, were at its head. Those years I look back upon to day, as among the most profitable and happily spent of my life. Their studies anticipated in a great degree my college curriculum, and if other academies pre- served as high a standard of scholarship as ours, the colleges of the United States might, by a proportionate advance of their standards, approach more nearly the liberal and comprehensive studies of for- eign universities. Among the sadder thoughts which crowd upon my mind as it reverts to those delightful days, are the memories of well-loved fellow-students, who, since we parted in the Academy halls, have passed from life. There was (to name but two) John Hun Meads, a dear and un- forgotten friend, whose ripe, pure, well-balanced character, and varied accomplishments, won for him the warmest place in the hearts of all of us ; and Richard M. Strong, whose generous nature and admirable scholarship, ripening into manhood, had already be- gun to show what fruit such seeds may bear, cut ofi" at the threshold of life, serving his country with an entire devotion, in the hour of her peril. My only brother's name, too, is on your list, he was one of your own pupils, sir, and he too is gone. Such memories as these, and the gratitude I feel to the institu- 80 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL. tion, and the teachers who did so much for me, are newly awakened by the occurrence of this Anniversary, and give keenness to the reget that I can not be one of the many who will participate in its celebration. With the confident belief that the future history of the Albany Academy, will justify the promise of its part, and the hope that you may long be spared to be its entire principal, I remain, dear sir, Very respectfully and truly yours, Manton Marble. David Murray, Esq. From Hon. George W. Clinton, son of De Witt Clinton. BuFEALO, April 6, 1863. Dear Sir : I shall, at all times, be happy to show my gratitude to the Albany Academy, and my appreciation of the services it has rendered, and will, I hope, for centuries, continue to render to the cause of science. And I trust that my utter inability to be in Albany on the 8th instant, will not deprive me of the honor of being nominally con- tinued on the Committee of Arrangments for the Celebration of its Semi-Centennial Anniversary. Very truly and respectfully, Your friend and servant, G. W. Clinton. Hon. Peter Ganscvoort, President, &c. CATALOGUE OFFICEES AND FACULTY, FROM THE ORGANIZATION TO 18G3. TRUSTEES.

THE CELEBRATION Seventy -Fifth Anniversary FOUIIDING OF THE AlEAHY AcADEHY, OCTOBER 2 5th, ISSS. SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. The Albany Academy was chartered by the Regents of the University of the State of New York, by an instrnment bearing date March 4, 1818. It was resolved by the Trustees, that at some convenient time during the year, the Seventy-Fifth Anni- versary of its cor})orate existence should be duly observed ; and Mr. Maurice E. Viele, Dr. David Murray, Mr. Archibald Mc- Clure, General Frederick Townsend and Mr. Henry P. Warren, were ap})ointed a committee of the Board of Trustees, to make the arrangements necessary for the celebration ; and they sub- sequently reported that Dr. Merrill Edwards Gates, President of Rutgers College and a former Principal of .the Academy, had been selected to deliver the oration, Mr. Ernest J. Miller to prepare an historical sketch, and Mr. William H. McElroy to read a {)oem ; and that they had made a special request of Mrs. Merrill E. Gates to write an ode to be sung on the occasion. The committee also extended this invitation to the President of the United States, the Governor of the State, the Regents of the University of the State of New York, the Judiciary, State officers, the Mayor and Recorder of the city, the presidents of colleges and principals of higher academic schools : The Trustees of the Albany Academy KEyUEST YOCR PKESENCE AT THE First Congregational Church AT 8 o'clock on Thursday eveninu, 25th ok Octobeh instant, AT the CELEBRATION OF THE SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OK THE ORGANIZATION OK THE ACADEMY.

And from many of These pears that every thing- was objected to except the bill providing for its erection ; and that would have been, had it been known just what the bill meant ; for under the legislative methods that then obtained, it was erected under a bill entitled " An. act making provision for the improvement of Hudson's river below Albany and for other purposes." Southward from our point of view Court street extends to the Ferry House, but it was for most of that distance simply a roadway without intersecting streets, liouses or inhabitants. The only street parallel to State street was Hudson avenue, and that extended but a little farther west than South Pearl street; beyond that point wa* the country. Northward from our point of view, there was a larger popula- tion. Steuben street ran west as far as Lodge street, while other streets parallel to it extended as far as North Pearl street, until we reach Orange street, a little above which was the north bounds of the city. 8 From this brief description it will be seen, that excepting on 8tate street, there was but little of the city west of Pearl street, south of Hudson avenue and north of Steuben street ; and the only road to the Capitol, whither we shall have to go if we want to visit the site set apart for the Albany Academy, is up State street hill, that gi'eat developer of the Albanian's nuiscle, and the special detestation of all strangers visiting us. But we cannot leave our point of view without noticing the building right by us, which is a brick edifice of three stories, elegantly faced in front with white marble — this is the new banking house recently erected by the Bank of Albany, the first bank incorporated in the City and the second in the State, and their third location since they began business in 1792 ; their first banking house being an old-fashioned Dutch house, the third north of State on the east side of North Pearl street. From there they removed to the building, still standing, north of the Merchants' Bank, and in 1809 they occupied this new building, which was considered one of the ornaments of the city. Directly opposite tlie bank, on tlie south side of State street, is the Post-office; and diagonally opposite is the prop- erty which, more than two hundred years ago, was owned by Volckert Janse Douw, and which has remained in the posses- sion of his descendants from that day to the present. Let us then walk up the hill to the Capitol, noting a few of the most noteworthy buildings as we pass. On the south side of the street, we notice that old house with the gable to the street — a true Dutch type of architecture, an antiquarian curiosity to-day, and the fitting w^orkshop for many years in after time of Albany's antiquarian, Joel Munsell. On the north side of the street, a little above Middle lane, which we now call James street, is the elegant new building of the New York State Bank, with the gold eagles on the front — a fitting promise, kept for all these years, of the golden returns which its successful management would shower upon the fortunate stockholders. This bank was the second in the city; and this building, especially erected for banking })urposes, has been so used by the bank since May 10, 1804, and is the oldest build- ing contiiuiously used as a banking house in the United States. We will quickly pass by Balthazar Lydius' house on the 'cor- ner of State and North Pearl, thankful if the irate and irasci- 9 ble old Dutchman don't shoot at us from his second-story window, where he usually sat smoking his pipe ; and crossing (State street, we notice that Washington, or Houth Pearl street, was then but eleven and one-half feet wide — just a passage- way between the buildings east and west — and closed with a wooden gate, probably to keep out the cattle that might- stray from the farms lying to the south. On this side of the street the most notable dwellings w^ere the Stevenson House, built after a modern model, and the Wendell House, built after the Dutch model, witli steps on the roof, going up to fhe peak, that the owner could arrange the weather-cock, so that the wind might blow" to his liking ; and these buildings are still remembered by many of the present generation. But the building that most interests us is the large wooden house on the corner of Lodge and State streets, built before the Revolution, and at one time occupied as a tavern. In this building, on the 11th day of September, 1S1!5, Dr. Benjamin Allen and Dr. Joseph Shaw% assisted by Dr. William Neill, Dr. T. Romeyn Beck and Mr. Theodore Sedgwick, fonnally opened the Albany Academy. As a student of that time pic- tures it, it was not a very im})ressive scene. No orations were delivered, no poems recited, no odes were sung ; and it is doubtful if either the committee of the Faculty or of the Trustees had the slightest conception of tlie immense influence that day's inauguration would exert through all the coming years, or the rei)utation and glory that would follow to the institution itself. The committee sat around a desk in a back room of the building, fronting on Lodge street; the boys were brought in by their parents ; names, ages and projjosed studies were registered ; and then, seated on the benches which had been placed around the room, tliej^ listened to a few remarks from the Pi'incii)al, Dr. Allen ; and the iirst day of school at the Albany Academy was over. As we look across the street we notice the large dwelling on the corner of Chapel, now the residence of Mr. Erastus Corning, but wliich at that time was occupied by that firm friend of the Academy, Philip S, Van Rensselaer; a man whose eftorts w'ere untiring in the cause of education, and who by his sound judg- ment and well directed influence contributed in a degree sur- passed by no other, not only in founding the Academy, but 10 also in procuring the beautiful location it has so long occupied. It was fitting that as Mayor of the city he should lay the corner-stone ; but had he not been Mayor, no truer or more constant friend could have been selected to ])erforni so honor- able a duty. On the block above the Mayor s residence is the old jail, the site now occupied by Van Vechten Hall ; but our chief con- cern with that building lies in the fact that it is to be sold, and its proceeds devoted to the Academy building. We are now on the Capitol hill. Elagle street extends south only as far as the Lancaster School, — now the Medical College ; beyond this was a ravine three hundred and fifty feet broad and fifty feet deep, through which flowed the Rutten Kill, the l)leasant brook of that generation — alas ! how^ times change — and beyond that an unbroken waste. The block now boiuided by Eagle and Hawk and State and Lancaster was occupied as a cemetery; and this situation for the Capitol, offered by the city, was considered as extremely advantageous, and was de- scribed in the following style, which is equal to any thing tliat could be written by a reporter of to-day : " The prospect from this place is extensive and beautiful. It goes to the north, the east and the south, till the summits of the distant moun- tains terminate it in the horizon. Hence the blue tops of the Catskills are seen mingling with the clouds, and the majestic Hudson, winding between the islands below% till the lessening sails on the surface vanish to the eye, and above till its curv- ing margins hide its retreating waves in the neighborhood of Troy. The cemetery, immediately to the south, overspread with a sheet of verdure, and a wide, opening valley beyond it, through which a meandering rivulet runs to refresh the air, will forever aflbrd free access to the cooling zephyrs in the sultry season." The advantages of a cemetery so near the Capitol are not easily com})rehended at present, as we cannot learn that there was any ceiling in the building that was in danger of falling. To the north of the Capitol was the ground given for the Academy, not yet excavated, unbroken, irregular in its sur- face. The Common Council were doubtful if the site was suit- able ; but the Trustees, with a far-sightedness which the pres- ent time justifies, resolved that the site was most eligible, and 11 tliere the Academy was built. For some years after its erec- tion tlie basement story was below the surface of the ground ; and in 1821 it was proposed to raise by subscription the sum of $1,000 fur the improvement of the Academy Park, and by such improvement to render desirable for places of residence the lots on the north of the park, which were considered as utterly useless ; and the Trustees of the Academy generously aided in the scheme by advertising for proposals for remov- ing about 10,000 loads of dirt from the Academy Square to the cor{)oration lots on Elk and Spencer streets. In later days, a resident of Elk street, and a millionaire, became to be almost synonymous terms ; and the thought expressed that the location if improved as proposed " would command a most beautiful prospect, be retired from the ordinary bustle of the town, and combine the healthfulness of a country situation," received a speedy fulfilment. We have now gone around the city in a general way, and you have some idea as to its extent ; but its geogra})hical lindts do not convey to you any proper conception of the gen- erous i)lan proposed in the interests of higher education. The city had less than 10,000 inhabitants ; there were but 1,450 houses in the town, and its municipal expenses were about $54,000 per annum. There was not a daily paper printed, although from two of tlie five printing offices in the city semi-weekly papers were issued. There was not a rail- road in the State ; all the traveling was done by stage-coach, excepting between Albany and New York during the time of navigation, when the steamboats math^ a trip between the two cities in a day and a half, with a " security, convenience and ease, wliich was unknown to the nations of Europe." This, in brief, was the condition of att'airs when tlie city, in 1813, offered the lot on the public square and the proceeds of the sale of the old jail for the purposes of an Academy ; and in the person of its Mayor, on the afternoon of Saturday, July 29, 1815, laid the corner-stone of the building, which to-day is universally considered to be one of the most beautiful l)uild- ings we have. Dr. Benjamin Sillinian, who visited the city in 1819, says that Dr. Beck told him that the Academy cost $90,000 before the upper rooms were finished ; this, of course, must include the value of the ground ; and he suggests that a 12 plainer building- would have been equally useful, and thus have left more of a fund for its support. No (h)ul)t a plainer building- would have answered the purpose ; but the majority of the Common Council of that day were Dutchmen, and to them the cause of education went hand in hand with the cause of religion — both were equally dear — the schoolmaster and the minister were among the first settlers in a new colony ; and with such inborn and lofty thoughts of the value of a high academical education, it is not surprising that they erected a building in conformity to their ideas of the great and lasting- work that was to be done therein.* At the first annual meeting of the Board of Trustees, held March 23, 1813, a committee was appointed, consisting of the Rev. Mr. Neill, the Rev. Mr. McJimpsey and the Rev. Mr. McDonald, who were to report concerning the expediency of commencing academic work, and of preparing a plan of the line of study to be pursued. They submitted a report propos- ing that the Academy should consist of five departments or distinct schools, but that for the present two departments, the classical and mathematical, would be all that would be necessary. The classical list contained more authors than was required by the catalogue of Union College for 1812 ; and in order that a scholar s time might be fully occupied, pleasant little exercises were api)ointed for every (Saturday, either speaking selections from English, Latin or Greek authors, or recitations in the Evidences of Natural or Revealed Religion. The report also recommended that the salaries of the teachers should be liberal and promptly paid, and that the rules of discipline should be practicable and reasonable, aud whatever penalty was attached to their infraction, should be inflexibly inflicted without passion and without partiality. The hours of attendance in the summer were to be from six to eight o'cock, and nine to twelve in the forenoon, and from two to five in the afternoon, and in the winter from eight to twelve in the forenoon, and from two to five in the afternoon. This would not suit the yoiuig men of the present day who complain of a session of five hours a day, while they have all Saturday for a holiday ; and I think the teachers would also * A]>i)ondix A contains the charter of the Academy. Appeniiix 15 contains copies of tlie reNoluiions of the Common Council relating to the building. Ajjpen- dix C contains an account of tlie sale of the old gaul property. 13 complain of siicli lon^'- daily sessions. But when we find that the report only reconiniended four weeks' vacation in the sum- mer, I am sure that the teachers would complain because of the necessity that is laid upon almost every teacher now-a- days, to visit Europe during the summer vacation. For all this instruction it was recomniende contains this report in lull. 14 for that purpose. Suppose a subscriber to the funds of the Academy to give $500. The account in favor of education at home, for that period, would stand thus : Principal sum expended abroad $1,000 00 Interest on §250 from tlie time of payment, say 8, 2 and 1 years 105 00 $1,105 00 Subscription §500 00 Interest thereon for 4 years 140 00 Tuition money to the Academy at $20 a year 80 00 Interest on $20 from the time of payment, say 8, 2 and 1 years 8 40 $728 40 Making a clear saving of $376 60 The additional cost of subsistence at home is not taken into the account, as it would be more than counterbalanced by traveling charges, extraordinary pocket money, more cost in dress, etc. The sum just stated would be the saving in the education of one boy ; but upon every other boy to be educated, it is clear that the principal expenditure of $1,000, deducting the tuition money, would be saved. In the education of three sons, a parent would thus avoid in four years an expenditure of $2,199.* The conmiittee appointed to solicit subscriptions were era- powered by the Board to leave it discretionary with the sub- scribers either to }>ay the subscription money, or to give satis- factory security for the payment thereof at such time as each subscriber shall think proper, with lawful interest, payable yearly. And the committee may further leave it discretionary with each subscriber, in case the whole amount of subscriptions shall not exceed $80,000, to reduce or withdraw his subscription. But on the 30th of July, 1813, a report was made to the Board that the individual subscriptions amounted to only $3,150, and even that amount was considered uncertain, being * Appendix E contains this report in full. 15 subject to such iilterations as the subscribers nuiy tliink ])r()per to make, in case tlie wliole of the subs('riptiollr^ shall not amount to $80,()0(). There appears to have been made no further effort at that time to ol)tain funds ; but at a meeting held July 6, 1814, Messrs. Charles D. Cooper and Theodore Sedgwick, of the Board of Trustees, were appointed a committee for soliciting further subscriptions from the citizens to aid in the erection of an Academy, and on the 1st of November, 1814, they reported that the amount they had j)rocured to be subscribed was $300, and of this sum $85 was paid, wliich was deposited in the hands of John W. Yates, the Treasurer of the Board ; and the committee suggested that in their opinion it was inexpedient at present to attempt to procure any further subscriptions. Some further subscriptions must have been obtained within the year, for the Treasurer in his communication to tlie Board, dated November 7, 1815, reports that the sums in his hands subscribed by individuals in cash and notes, amounts to $6,089.40, and after that time the work appears to liave been continued until 1821, when no further effort was made, and the total amount of subscri])tions paid and unpaid amounted to $9,665.* There are but three institutions in this city that are contem- poraneous with the charter granted to the Albany Academy, and these are the New York State Bank, the Albany Insur- ance Company and the Mechanics and Farmers' Bank: and with all of these institutions the Academy has had a vital and persoiuil interest. John W. Yates, the first cashier of the New York State Bank, was the first Treasurer of the Academy, and that bank was the first custodian of the funds of the institu- tion. His son, Richard Yates, was, upon the death of his father, elected cashier of the bank and Treasurer of the Academy, and the ofiiceof the Treasurer has also IxM^n filled by Aaron D. Patchin and Josiah B. Pluml), both of them cashiers of the bank. The Albany Insurance Company issued the policy that was first placed on the new Academy building; and to-day it ]»ro- tects it with a jiromise to l)ay, that has never beiMi leasant reminiscences to relate concerning him. For there was a buoyancy and good nature about him that endeared him to all liis scholars; lie enjoyed fun, and was always ready to perpetrate a joke ; and even if he did punctuate liis joke, after his peculiar fashion, his hearty laugh or his quaint remark would so ease the smart that the stroke w^as only considered as the pith of the joke and a part of the pleasantry. 'He was just, fair and generous ; when occasion •Apiieii'lix Ci Cdiitaind two of the oldest iirofrriiimiie.s in existence — lliose ol' lw20 and 1S->1. 18 deniandod it, severe and stern ; but an ordinarily well-Vieliaved and studious i)U[)il was always a[)pre('iated, and never had any reason to complain of him, and always found him a true friend, ready and willin>,'- to assist, even in after years, by his counsel and his intluence. His ways were well suited to his times ; but were the Trustees to ado})t similar methods to-day, they would be overwhelmed by the storm of indi^niation that would be i)oured \i\Hm them by the indignant mothers of this city, and would soon find themselves in the position of endeavoring to carry on a school without any pu})ils ; for the whole system of education, both in discipline, method and scope, have greatly changed since some of us were Academy boys. The coat of arms of tlie former schoolmaster — the crimson shield, signifying gore, upon which is emblazoned the figure of a boy rampant, with the hand of one unseen holding him in posi- tion, while above, as a crest, are two rattans crossed — all this has passed into oblivion. No coat of arms is now needed to designate the office ; for the intluence of tlie school is but the continuation of the influence of the home — the discipline of the school is but tlie extension of the government of the home ; and parents who desire their sons to be brought u}) to lo\e honor, truth and manliood more than any thing else, will iind in the Albany Academy of to-day the greatest help to such high-moral tone and })ur[)0se. But great lustre was reflected on this institution by Dr. Beck's reputation as a scientific man ; it was his especial ]:)ride, and the time he devoted to its interests can only be a})precia- ted by those who have examined the careful, comi)lete and painstaking records he has left of his administration. Dr. Bullions was a classical scliolar without a peer, and his acquaintance with the Latin and Greek languages was thorough, comprehensive and exact. His method of teaching would per- haps be called old-fashioned in the present day, but the schol- ars he turned out were well grounded in the i)rinciples, and had a satisfactory knowledge of the structure of the language. His system was founded in a comi)lete mastery of the gram- mar, and his scholars w^ere daily drilled in rules of syntax and construction. So thoroughly were They equipjjed in this respect, that I have known young men entering college who knew the grammar almost by heart in all its exceptions and 19 irregularities. It was mainly due to his thoroughness as a teacher, that the Academy, so early in its history, took such a high stand as a classical school ; and its position as such was increased and sustained by the classical publications he edited, which were very generally adopted by the schools through- out the country, and were the means of bringing the Academy to the notice of professors and teachers, and so showing the ad- vantages a scholar would enjoy of having his classical education formed and directed by such a renowned aiid competent master. Dr. Ten Eyck was a student of the Academy under Dr. Beck, and in 18H2 was called to the chair of Mathenuitics and Natural Philosophy, made vacant l)y the resignation of Prof. Josei)h Henry. To him mathematics was a plain subject, more easily com})rehended, perhaps, than ex}»lained ; and so it some- times happened that the value of " X " was not ahvays as clear to his pupils as it was to him. Nevertheless he w'as a teacher possessing great philosophical and scientific attainments, and the student who was desirous to learn, found in him a thoroughly able and competent instructor. Perhajjs our boy- ish feeling towards him was, on the whole, inimical, yet we love him now for the enemies he made then, and we tender him our heartiest congratulations, that he has been permitted to see this anniversary of the institution to which he gave his most matured powers, and in whose welfare he always mani- fested the deepest interest. iSo many years have elapsed since ])r. Beck resigned the })rincipalship of the Academy, that we who remember him at all, will have to own that more than half a century has passed over our heads. Yet there are some still connected with the institution who remember him when he first assumed his office in 1817, and such an one is Dr. Thomas Hun; and I am sure that an occasion like this will be a sufficient justification for any personal allusion such a fact might call forth. Dr. Hun entered the Academy in 1817, became one of its Trustees in 1852, and is now the honored President of the Board. To him the office of Trustee has never been simply a position of honor. He has given to the interests of the Academy liis best thought, his most matured and deliberate conviction, his most careful judgment; and while tli(^ institution might well be proud to place on its Board of Trustees a name that for so 20 many generations has been identitioast were made more real to the mind than any mere description could possibly do. The French language was also made of practical use by teaching Physics from French text-books. These were some of the reforms instituted, and the ap})reciation of the work done was shown by the new incentives offered. William Alvord, of San Francisco, an old Academy boy, donated a fund, the interest from which furnishes the Alvord Penmanship Medal ; Mrs. Howard Townsend gave the Howard Townsend French Medal, and Gen. Peter Gransevoort left, by his will, a fund to provide for the Gansevoort Essay Medal ; Gen. John F. Rathbone gave the Rathbone Military Medal ; Charles Van Benthuysen, Maurice E. Viele, Company A, 10th Regiment, Erastus Corning and Robert Lenox Banks at various times gave the Second Military Medal, and latterly Mrs. Abraham Lansing, in memory of her brother, Henry S. Gansevoort, gave a medal for the smaller cadets. And this leads me to speak of the military drill, which was also one of the plans proposed, to add to the number of stu- dents, and to increase the interest in the Academy. This sub- ject had before been brought to the attention of the Trustees by the offer of a Mr. Carter to give instruction in military ex- ercises; this was probably between the years 1820 and IblJO; but as his offer cannot be found, it is impossible to say just when it was made, or the nature of the instruction intended to be given ; nor do the minutes disclose that any action of the Trustees was taken upon the offer. In a paper on " Military Drill in Colleges and Academies," read before the University Convocation in 1883 b}- Dr. Edward P. Waterbury, President of the State Normal School, it is stated that the earliest ap- proach to military drill in the Academy was in 1830, when an expatriated Pole acted as drill sergeant. He tauglit the posi- tion of the soldier, the facings and marching; the boys were neither uniformed or armed, and order w^as maintained by Joseph Henry, one of the Faculty, and afterwards the Secre- tary of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington. It might be supposed that this military organization was the result of tlie offer of Mr. Carter, referred to, were it not that 24 Mr. Carter could hardly be considered an ex})atriated Pole ; while the further difficulty, mentioned in the paper, "that the old boys could only remember an occasional syllable of his name, but thought that it ended in a sneeze," would hardly be applicable to so plain a name as Carter. kSo that it is impossi- ble to say whether the offer of Mr. Carter was. an original offer, or whether it was made simply as a continuance of the instruc- tion already introduced. During the time of the late war, when the military spirit took possession of every one, the boys of the Academy formed a battalion under the command of Charles E. Snuth, as major, now the editor of the Philadelphia Press. The battalion wore no uniform but a military cap, and had neither equipments, guidons or colors. Nevertheless, they attained a good pro- ficiency in the manual of arms and in marching, and many a member left the ranks of the battalion to join the army, fight- ing for the Union. But the organization now proposed was of a different nature and to be placed on a different basis ; it was to be a part of the school life; not elective or discretionary, but just as com- pulsory as the educational side of the school ; in fact, it was proposed to make it a department of physical education, and its claims were to be held as binding as those of the depart- ment of mental education. The Trustees who were particularly active in proposing this plan were Gen. John F. Rathbone, Dr. Edward P. Waterbury and Principal Grates ; and they jtresented the subject to the other members of the Board with such power of argument, cogency of reason and persistency of purpose, that they dis- armed all serious opposition, even if they were not successful in producing absolute conviction ; and by a unanimous vote of the Board, the experiment was entered upon, and in Novem- ber, 1870, the battalion of the Albany Academy Cadets was formed, with Rufus K. Townsend as its flrst major. This was a new departure in the history of the Academy, and it certainly has proved to be a most advantageous one. It has been the means of increasing the number of students in the institution, and its beneficial intiuences were at once seen in the manly and self-possessed bearing of the students them- selves. And it is in this development of noble qualities that 25 the success of the experiment chiefly lies ; for military drill cultivates obedience and i)romptness ; produces respect for authority, and engenders willingness to yield to it ; teaches how to connnand without offensive superiority, and how to be commanded without loss of spirit. It creates the feeling that the cadet gray nnist not be disgraced by mean or despicable actions, and so promotes that best tyjie of school spirit, which is the foundation of those gentlemanly qualities we would like to have our boys possess. By cai'eful and constant traiiung, it also greatly adds to their physical development; makes them erect, full-chested and nniscular, and masters of their legs and arms; so that a finer body of young men cannot be found than the members of the Albany Academy Cadet bat- talion. And our citizens take a sincere and hearty interest in them — the fathers observing them on parades witii an honest and proper pride, and the mothers and sisters encouraging them by their gifts of flags and guidons, embroidered mul painted. The military organizations watch with a criTical eye the manoeuvres of this corps of young soldiers, and greet with generous applause their success in the manual of arms, and their proflciency in military movements. Even the executives of this State have not deemed it beneath their dignity as commanders-in-cliief of the National Guard, to review them on dress ])arjrest man, the dearest, most ufracious woman so soon comes to tlie allotted end of life, tliat on such anniversary days, the sweetness of the present love is always shadowed by the apprehension of the eoming loss. But the anniversary of a self-perpetuating institution like the school which we honor to-night, has in it no such haunting sug- gestion of pain. As we go on in life (you older Academy boys, with your wives and friends, to your experience of life I appeal ! ) as we go on in life and feel how short is any one man's lease of power do we not feel a growing satisfaction in the life we have in common, in in^titntiovs which endure from genera- tion to generation ? LiFK IS Short ; Institutions Endure. When a young man first feels the zest of living, he is pro- foundly impressed by the im])ortance of a man's life to himself. His own needs, his own desires, the development of his own } lowers to the full in every direction — these seem to him enough- But a few^ j^ears, bringing him on toward middle life, change all this. Scarcely has he seen clearly the ends which he wishes to attain — scarcely has he nerved his heart and braced his soul for the contest — when there falls on him like a shadow the con- sciousness of the brevity of life. If he has fixed his eye on any thing really worth attaining, when life takes him sternly in hand with its interposed obstacles, its checks and counter- checks, its absohite denials, and ruthless and wrenching losses, he soon comes to feel keenly tlie frailty of his own unaided gras}) upon affairs, the slender import of any one man's life, lived and regarded as a thing by itself. He feels the need of allying his life and its work with the life and work of others whose aims and efforts coincide with his own. He feels the wish to make his sjtan of life attain a permanence — endure — by allying it with the life of an institution that abides, by using it to ])erpetuate a w^ork, wliich others, perhaps, have begun, and still others will carry on when he shall have passed away. Nor is this desire the refuge of weak wills. The strong- est souls — wills fullest charged with the impulse to do and to control — feel the most imperious denumds for means and men 35 and minds to be so used liy tluMn as \o perpetuate in institutions their own ideas, that Their life-work may not come to nant^ht. Throiig-h an alliance with institutions in one form or another, every earnest and aspiring soul seeks to escape its body's doom of but a few days' existence liere, and to perpetuate its power when the right arm is palsied and the valid eye has lost its compelling power. Our Academy Binds Together the Old and the Young. There is reason, then, in the nature of man, for such love of an institution as binds us together to-night. And in an anniversary when an entire community is united to honor an institution of learning which has lived for three-quarters of a century and gives promise of a most vigorous life in the future, there is reason for the feeling of pleasure and hopefiilness which fills the air ! All ages unite in such a celebration. Memory, realization, anticipatioiL, all have their share here, as aged men recall the experience of their boyhood, ardent boys delight in the evidence of interest in their school, and parents and boys alike look to the future. But ])erhaps age has more than its due share of this evening's pleasures ! For it is a })eculiarity of school life, with its quickly- changing succession of students, that all the delightful pre- rogatives of respect and adniiration, all the calmly pleasurable sensations of the i)atriarcli who has seen successive generations pass like the leaves of summer, to be succeeded by later growths, may be enjoyed by a young man still in the twenties. In school life a lustrum is a generation. Five or six years is a lifetime for one set of students in the academy proper. By anticii)ation, the boy of twenty wlien he visits the school tastes the delight of being looked u}» to as an elder. Perhaps he is regarded as one of a nobler race of boys, whose like is not now seen ! And my young friend and former pu})il ( Prof. Groold), who has hardly turned thirty, I imagine, could not be more fitly described than in the plirases which Homer applied to that delightful but very aged man, that discursive story-teller, old Nestor, " from Pylus' sandy isle : " " He liiis seen Two genei-atioiis that g-i-ew up ami live of tlu^ home circle, what relations with others, my equals, are possible to me ? " This is the question which every school boy's daily life among his scliool-mates is answering, whether or not he knows how To ]iut the question into w^ords. And no thouglitful parent who understands the 88 mi^'-lity influence upon the yonn^ of the thonglit and speech of thof^e of tlieir own time of life, can for a moment estimate slightly the influence of school life upon his children. To me it has always been a wonder that so many i)arents are content to turn over to teachers whom they allow to remain utter strangers, and to the companionship of children of whom they know and care to know nothing, for Ave or six hours in the day, and for five days in the week, year after year during the most impressionable j)eriod of life, those children, who are the treasures of their homes, lent them by Grod, to be accounted for to Him, In his school, the boy's social life, his manner of dealing with his e(iuals, is shaped. The conditions are so essentially different from those of family life that he virtually hegiiia his social life here. And the way in which he carries himself among his school-mates, and the standards of honor and behavior which he accepts and helps to form, will go with him through life. Well may that noble old school at Winchester retain as its chosen legend the quaintly-phrased proverb, " Manners makyth manne." 'Tis profoundly true. Not the mannerisms of the dancing school ; but the answer given in the life to the question, " What manner of speaking and working and living do you and your friends accept ? " It is thus that ideas of morals, (which in almost all languages bear the etymology of " customs," " settled habits,") by acceptance and imitation come to control the life and work themselves into the character. And when Reason, maturing, recognizes the right of moral principles to connnand, the growing boy accei)ts the sway of conscience and makes his will her loyal servant. You can not banish moral training from the school-room and the play-ground. It nnist go on. If no pains are taken to make it good moral training, it will be bad training in morals; but training in morality, yes, in religion, (or in irreligion) will go forward in school life for good or for bad, whether you wish it or not. As his own mother forms the child's ideals of home-life, so does the school, the alma mater, the fostering, cherishing mother of his growing mind, furnish the moral atmosphere in which the boy's social life begins to grow. The early school determines to no small degree the lifelong nature of those 39 relations witli liis peer.s, relations harmonious or discordant which are to make or mar his life as man and citizen. What importance this truth gives to those noble friendships, generous rivalries and gentlemanly companionshi[)s which are open to a boy in a school such as the Academy. If a true view of school influence makes the choice of a school so important a matter and the maintenance of a noble school so high a work in any community, we may well consider to-night those features of its history and those distingiushing characteristics in its work which make us deservedly proud of our school — the Albany Academy. I. Home-life and 8(;hool-life go ox Together. For the boys of this school, home-life and school-life go for- ward together. An essential feature of the school has always been its union of home-life and home influence with such hiiih standards of scholarship and attainment as it is sometimes asserted, can be maintained only by removing boys and young men from the influence and the pleasant distractions of home- life, and centering all their strength, interest and time in the half-monastic routine of boarding-school life. The history of this school proves conclusively that boys may retain their place in the home-circle, where the God of our family-life designs boys to be trained, and while they enjoy the friendship and companioushi[» of their sisters, and are under the friendly eye of their father, may come daily, with a mother s kiss upon brow or lip, to the atmosphere of a school where honor and frankness are cultivated in all, and where the standards of attainment are such as to call into full play all the intel- lectual power the boy has at his conmiand. This accounts for much that is good in the history of the school. Character is wrought out under home-influence. There is no herding of immature boys in dormitories. The refining ert'ect of a mother's influence is daily and strongly felt, as the boy begins to be a man, at precisely the time when his thouglits and ideals of womanhood most need a mother's loving presence. We often speak as if the ideal school of our century were Rugby, under Thomas Arnold. Certainly he was the ideal school-nuister. But no one can read carefully Arnold's letters and atricles, and Arnold's sermons bearing on srhool-iife, with- 40 out feeling what Arnold always saw clearly and frankly admitted — the awful temptations of a great boarding-school for hoys — the perilously low moral tone which prevails where nothing leavens the low moral standards of unaided boyhood, removed from mother-love and sister-influence. To combine something of the courteous standards of a pure Christian home with the scholarly pursuits of the school, was the great aim of Thomas Arnold's admiiristration at Rugby. The effort to do this led him to break up as nuich as possible the great school boarding-house, w'here the lump of un-moral boyishness was too large and heavy for any one man to leaven it and counteract its tendencies, and to distribute the boys in smaller groups in the houses of the assistant masters, where something of family-life should be before them in the homes of their teachers. Thus Arnold strove to secure something of that home-life with scholarly work which is the characteristics of our Academy, All the ideals which are precious to us, and were precious to him, are too often violated in the overgrown, fashionable boarding-school, where a crude mannishness takes the place of a sound boyhood, a true boy's tender manliness. High standards of scholarship and broad, full courses of study, in some departments reaching the plane of good college work, maintained in a school whose scholars are daily helped by the life and the standards of home, have made this Academy what it has been and is. And in achiev- ing its work without support from a boarding department, without a city or a State treasury to draw upon, and w-ithout an endowment, it stands almost alone among the best preparatory schools of this country. II. The Academy Fosters Letters — is Pre-emine>tly a Classical School. The Academy has always been marked, not alone and not chiefly for the scientific work done here by Beck, and Joseph Henry, and Ten Eyck, brillliant as was that work, but pre- eminently as a classical school, where a love of literature and the humanities has been cherished. How far-reaching is the influence of such a school, in all the w^alks of life ! Let one afternoon's experience of a month ago illustrate. Taking the train from New York, a very intelligent and public-spirited 41 lawyer of tliat city who took a seat beside me, in speaking of a clergyman whose death was mentioned in that evenings paper, said of him : " He used to teach us. He was not a very strong man intellectually, but he drilled into us well our 'tupto.""' In my own prejiaration for college, I luid studied Bullions' Granmiar. "Tui»to" was a shibboleth. "What grannnar did you use ? " I asked, " Bullions', of course," was the answer. And 1 was reminded of t-he tliousands of school- boys of an earlier generation who were trained in the excellent grammars w-hich Peter Bullions wrote wliile he was i)rofessor of Latin and Greek in the Albany Academy. A few moments later, I bought of the train-boy a phamph- let containing these charming })apers, "Books that luive helped me," written by prominent men of letters, and first ])ul)lished in the Forum. In turning over its pages, I found that Ex-President Hill, of Harvard, in enumerating the books that had given him an impulse as he entered on life, makes prominent mention of the botany written by Prof. Lewis C. Beck, for three years a member of the Faculty of this Academy, and afterwards ]^rofessor of chemistry at Rutgers. The arti- cle immediately following Professor Hill's was by Moncure 1). Conway, and in terms of warm affection lie s})eaks of his debt, for " intellectual liberation," to " a beloved law book, Beck's 'Medical Juris})rudence,' " where he found "the stuff' that dreams are made of dealt with in a scientific spirit and with exactness." These three instances of the far reaching effects of the liter- ary work of the Academy were chanced ujton in one afternoon. But we know in how many directions the literary skill acquired at the Academy is felt in widening circles. When we see an editorial in the New York Tribune wdth a })ertinent illustra- tion from the characters of Dickens, a dash of Steele's humor, or enlivened by an irresistibly comic verse of camjiaign argu- ment, we say, "'tis McKlroy's." A party })latf()rni drafted with a flavor of literature, a reminiscence of the periods of Burke in its well-turned sentences, if Democratic, leads to the assertion, " Why, Manton Marble wrote it ; " if Rei)ublican, " it is the work of Charles Emory tSmith " — old Academy boys, all ! Or such articles as the noble criticisms of Eighteenth Century Literature in still recent numbers of tlie Yale Review, 42 articles on which I had conmieiited to college classes but a few weeks before the death of their author, Louis J. ISwinburne, of the Academy class of '74, perhaps the most promising writer among our younger men, crowned in his freshmati year at Yale, after a competition in which all classes were engaged, with tlie highest literary honor of tlie college, and steadily developing as a writer since leaving college. The "Beck"" and the "Gates"' Literary Hocieties. Ho the classical training and the literary culture of the school pass into the life of the nation. Well may an Academy boy honor the record of those wlio in past years have belonged to the Beck Literary Society. May it continue to prosper ! And if I might be allowed on an occasion like this to express my high appreciation of the compliment paid me in the most un- expected choice of a name for the new^ literary society organ- ized in the school soon after I had gone to another city to reside, I should do so by saying that no memorial of my con- nection with the school for a longer time than any other })rin- cipal, save Dr. Beck, could have been suggested which would have gratified me as did this unexpected action of the boys. With perfect loyalty to the older and more famous society, whose name so justly entitles it to outrank the otlier, may we not heartily wish the truest success to both these societies, in which many earnest boys are learning the meaning of Emer- son's words : " In tlie highest civilization the book is ever the keenest delight."' UL A Truly Liberal Course of iStudy. A third characteristic of the Academy, as I read its history, is a sound conservatism in essentials, with adaptability in methods and details. No patent abreviated methods for secur- ing the ends of education have ever been tolerated here. One distinct part of the mission of this scliool has been to resist the too popular tendency to shorten all courses of study and to sacrifice the " humanities " to bread-winning quickness of at- tainment along lower lines. While I yield to no man in my insistance upon the [)ractical vahie of a liberal education, I am in favor of taking iirne enough t(» make the course liberal. 48 I In matters of education, "he that believeth " in thorough- ness "shall not make haste." Of course, the highest class in an institution such as this, will not by its fees "pay" for its tuition. But the higher education must always be carried for- ward by men who are willing to use money which God has trusted to them for noble ends. May the Academy always maintain courses of study so full that the presidents of our leading universities may say, as one of them said to me ten years ago : " No freshmen (;ome to us from any other school w^ho are on the w^hole so fully and roundly prepared for college work ; and members of our Faculty have more than once said they wish all our students could come through such a course of training as is given in the Albany Academy." I rejoice in those evidences of thoroughness and breadth in the present management of the school, which lead us to hope that its future will outshine even its most glorious early fame. Some years of experience in college work have not weakened, but if pos'sible have strengthened my convictions, Jexpressed [m past years before many of you, that no educational work in our country is more important or more needed to-day than that of high- grade secondary schools such as the Academy. IV. A kSriiouL Kkpt by Gentlemen for the Sons of Gentlemen. Thackeray said of the Cornhill Magazine, " it is written by gentlemen, for gentlemen." So, I would say that another marked characteristic of the Academy is, that it is a school taught and managed by gentlemen for the training of the sons of gentlemen. I trust that I never use that noble word gentlemen in a vulgar sense, as if it w^ere the name of a caste into whose ranks a favoredj few were born. The word is too fine a one to be so narrowed. And when I best knew Academy boys, snobbishness, whether based on birth or wealth or on arrogated^socialjpositioujgwas [at "a heavy discount with us! A genuinejdemocracy of equal rights, and consideration based oiilyjou [merit and ^ability, seemed to characterize the boys. Butjwe all hold that the Academy has always been km)wn, and should always be^kn()wn,fas*a scliool where there is the clear- est recognition of gentlemanly standards of behaviour, of the 44 value of gentle inanner.s and gentle-manliness, all the stronger for its self-repressed power to be gentle. V, It is a Christian School. And the history of the foundation and management of the school leads us to believe that it will always be held, as it was founded, a Christian institution, loyal to Christ and lionoring Him in the character it forms as well as by the pul)lic worship it maintains. Marked by tliese strong features, the Academy is a school of which we may well be proud. But our interest in it is not confined to the past. It is be- cause schools deal with the future that they have an unfailing, a perennial interest for all. Who Can See the (treat Men op the Next Generation IN the School-boys op To-day ? On the matriculation book of the college where my work now lies, in opening its pages for the signatures of the in-coming freshman class a week ago, I showed to them a page where were written, in boyish hand, the autographs of the class who entered Rutgers fifty-six years ago. In the class of tw^enty- one, who were graduated in 18H6, we saw the names of Justice Joseph Bradley, of the United States Supreme Court ; Fred- erick Frelinghuysen, the late United States Senator and Secre- tary of State ; Gov. Newell, of New Jersey and Oregon ; Hon. Cortlandt Parker, tlie leader of the Newark bar, and Prof. Geo. H. Coakley, of the University of the City of New York. Who would liave ventured to predict so distinguished a future career for one man of each four in that class? But anyone can honor great men after they have proved their greatness. For a school, the vital cpiestion is. Who can see and honor the great men of the next generation in the blush- ing, stammering school-boy of to-day ? Only lie can do this who respects boyhood for its own sake. Do not fancy tliat you can know in advance wlio will be the man to fill posts of honor and responsibility ; but try so to train the boys whom you teach that each one of them, if jilaced under responsibilities, may prove trustworthy. 45 You do not need to toacli Ainerican boys tliat any one of tlieni may become President of the United States. They know- that quite as well as you do! It's in tlie air ! But you rf') need to teach them the duties and olilii^ations that rest on every citizen of tlie United States, that they may l)e honest, true-hearted, public-spirited members of the connnonwealth in whatever station they do their life-work. Teach them their res]»onsibilities and their oblig-ations ; and their })rivileii"es and their ri^^-hts will come out clearly enouu-h, by inqilication ! Work faithfully with the commoni)lace, average boy. Said Lincoln : " God Almighty must think a great deal of plain, connnonplace i)eo[)le, or He never would htive made so many of them." No truth is more important to the safe conduct of a democratic republic like our own ! And in school manage- ment by trustees and teachers, let it always be borne in mind that while any one who knows enough can teach the twenty linest minds in the school, it takes genius, patience and fine enthusiasm, to awaken higher aspirations and inculcate nobler habits in the dull boys and commonplace boys of the school. Yet most of the teacher's work must be done with and for them. " God has made so many of them." Memories of the Past; 187() to 1882. But I cannot s})eak impersonally of this schoctl, my friends ! Twelve years of its history are written in my heart. And I see here to-night, not only the familiar faces of very many dear friends among tlui men of Albany, grown a little older, and the faces of mothers whom I learned to honor and esteem for wliat I saw of them in their sons ; but besides tliese friends, I have luid a welcome from young men whose faces were strange to me in their maturity, yet from whose bearded lips the old boyish smile breaking out reveals a former })U}»il. The changes are many, since my work began in the Academy, eighteen years ago. As we sang of the " wliite brows of glory bending above," how our thoughts went back, boys of '70 to '82, to those Academy boys who can never i^row old! Jamie McClure, Fred S ^ inburne, Clarence Hascy, and lat(M', (George Dewey, carrying tlie frank warm-heartedness of boy- hood into his young manhood, and on through [)ainful suff'er- 46 ing" to courageous death ; and Harry Ten Kyck, wlio luul done a life-work by liis candid, lionorable manliness, in the few years since his college-days, and whom this city, like one great family of mourners, so lately followed to an early grave, and his class-mate, Louis Swinburne, of whose growing fame we have s])oken, and whose chivalric, high-hearted life in the school no boy of his time can ever forget. " I see them niustei* in a g'leamiiig' row. With ever youthful brows that noblei- show. We tind in our dull road their shining track, They come transfigured back, Secure from change in their high-hearted waj's, Beautiful evei'more, and with the i-ays Of morn on their white shields of expectation." Teachers have passed on, too. Mr. Mills and Mr. Tilling- hast, self-sacrificing, pure-hearted, loving music, sweet-souled men, too early called away ! And of other teachers, Messrs. Satterlee and Warner, and Hubbell and Olds, all prospering in their professions. Our sister institution, the Higli School, owes her eificient principal [Professor 0. D. Robinson] to the Academy, who imported him from Yankee-land as a teacher of mathematics. And others have come and gone in these eighteen years. Of the Academy teachers wlio came with me to the Academy in 1870, but one is left, the honored professor of mathematics, Martin L. Deyo. Look well at his work. For nearly twenty years it has been done with unvarying faithfulness. It will bear inspection. It is wi-itten with honest accuracy in many lives of All)auy men ! You cannot "erase it." Suppose you " mark it ten ! " Then, for twenty years the school has known that marvel- lously insi)iring, wonumly preseiu'e, stinuilatiug ambition, awakening heart and conscience in the younger boys — the only woman I have ever known in the teacher's work who in- variably wore a smile yet was never made weak or silly by it. Miss Esther Andrews. Hundreds of Academy boys will never forget her! She constantly helped to build up character in the boys she taught. 47 The Building op Chara(Ter is the Great End. And this bnikling of cliiiracter is the irreat thing in educa- tion, my friends. Boys may acliieve character much earlier in life than many persons tliink. Will-power may be developed, will-power guided by conscience and reason. " It is conscience that i)reserves the might of the will," says Trendelenburg. " Happy is he who walks wath that strong-siding champion, Conscience," says Milton. And I have known many a boy who, hardly yet in his teens, walked serenely with this strong- siding champion, already a "hai)i)y warrior," because he had said to duty, " In the light of Truth thy bondsman let me be." 'Tis well said that "one is already of consequence in the world, whatever his age, w^hen men have learned that he can be depended on." Judged by this standard, I have known many an undergraduate Academy boy who w^as deserving of respect as "of consequence in the w^orld." I reverence profoundly a pure and manly boy. I have known boys at sixteen for whom I have felt a respect as true, as pro- found as I ever felt for a man of sixty. For such boys had already achieved a noble character. And " character gives splendor to youth and awe to wrinkled skin and gray hairs.'' It has seemed to me at times, as I recall the faces of the Academy boys whom I have known, tluit as our photographers now photograph a concejjt, make a composite picture, by tak- ing an imi)ression, now of one face now of another, so I could well form tlie ideal American V)oy, by blending impressions of one and another of the Academy boys whom I have known. Let Albanians Idealize this yciiooL — Understanding its High Value. Let us idealize somewhat our way of looking at the Academy. Once in a generation, when these great anniversaries come round, let us know how noble are the possibilities, how worthy is Yhe actual work of the institution you have among you here. ; As citizens of Albany you do well to cherish and to develop still more fully an institution where your sons may be trained to noble living in their earliest social life. " To form the habit of doing the thing I know I ouglit to do, at the time when I know I ought to do it, wliether I feel like ing dirge of pain, and sorrow^ and failure, and sin that our ears nuist hear, as we learn how utterly unable we are by trusting self to secure for ourselves or for those whom we love the best results. At last, the fearful, agonizing strain of death conies upon this iron string of " trust thyself," and witli a startling crash, 'tis broken ! If we had no other key-note than that to sound in your ears, a minor wail of disapi»ointment would be all we could look for to follow it. That was an iron string. We want a higher, clearer, more joyous key-note for our life. We need a nobler ideal than self can give us. There is a truer key-note than " trust yourself ! " Trust God, young man ! Trust God ! When self is seen to be the source of our w^orst temptations, when we need above all else to be saved from self and from the sins of selfishness, there comes a Divine answer to our need. Conscience and the Bible unite in revealing the ideal we need to keep the will steady in its work of self-control and self-direction to the noblest ends. When the path of virtue, although clearly seen, fails to attract us ; when goodness seems irksome to us and we feel the need of a power within to quicken ami energize us in our life- work, to make duty attractive, how wonderfully this need of ours is answered ! Our emotions are quickened by the reve- lation of a personal God to meet our personal need, by the revelation of a divine Haviour, who became a man and died to save us from ourselves and to bring us back to God — a Saviour who now calls all men, who will trust in Him, Ilis friends. Wrote Emerson, despairingly, to despairing Carlyle, over the sea : " A divine })orson is the prophecy of the mind. A friend is the hojte of the heart. Our beautitude waits for the fulfillment of tlu^ two in one." But it waits not, my friends. The Divine Person, the Friend of the heart, the fuHilling of the two in one, our Beatitude has come. Our deepest needs are met. An infinite fullness sup- plies a finite need. God, the Eternal (rod, cares for our present life and gives us life eternal. The perfect ideal a 50 young man needs to make strong his will and to kindle his noblest emotions is set before us in the One Perfect Man. A renewed will, trained to holiness, is promised to everyone who accepts this Divine Man as his Saviour, his example and his Master. If you would see your future secure, serve God, '' And the i-ewanl, (ir soon oi- late, will come Fi-oin Him whom no man serves in vain." At the conclusion of the oration, the audience joined in sing- ing the familiar hymn, " My Country, 'Tis of Thee," led by the choir and the orchestra, and the benediction was then pro- nounced by the Rt. Rev. William Croswell Doane, Bishop of Albany, one of the Trustees of the Academy. 51 LETTERS. The following are some of the letters of regret, and also of appreciation of the work that the Academy has done, that were received by the Committee : From the President of the United States. Executive Mansion, Washington. The President acknowledges the courtesy of the invitation of the Trustees of the Albany Academy, and regrets that he will be unable to be present at the celebration of the iSeventy- fifth Anniversary on Thursday evening, October 25th. Friday, Octobe)' 19, 1888. From the Rev. TT. H. Campbell, D.D., LL. D., a former Prin- cipal of the Academy, and recently President of Rutgers College. New Brunswick, October 19, 1888. Messrs. Maurice E. Viele, David Murray and others : Gentlemen — Accept my thanks for your remembrance of me and kind invitation to attend the Seventy-fifth Anniver- sary of the organization of the Albany Academy. I regret that the infirmities of increasing years will prevent my attend- ance. My interest in the welfare of the Academy, its trustees, patrons, faculty and friends and pupils does not grow less with increasing years. Its good work and growing usefulness fills me with joy. Your obliged friend, Wm. H. Campbell. 53 '] From the Rev. Anson J. Upson, D.D., LL.D., Regent of the University of the State of New York. "The Waverly," 872 Genesee street, Utica, October 18, 1888. My Dear Mr. Viele — ^I have received an invitation to be present at the celebration of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the Albany Academy, signed by the committee of arrange- ments, of which you are the chairman. Please thank the Committee for this very pleasant remem- brance. It would give me very great pleasure to be present on the interesting occasion, and I greatly regret that it will not be in my power to do so. The Albany Academy holds so high a rank among the insti- tutions of the State and has contributed to the thorough educa- tion of so many of its best men, that I am glad to be numbered among those who are known to be interested in its success. Cordially yours, Anson J. Upson. From the Rev. Henry Darling, D.D., LL. 3., President of Hamil- ton College. Hamilton College, "i Clinton, N. Y., October 28, 1888. | My Dear Mr. Viele — I am exceedingly grateful to the Committee, of which you are chairman, for the kind invitation to attend the Seventy-tifth Anniversary of the organization of the Albany Academy ; and though my college duties will necessarily prevent its acceptance, 1 am happy for the oppor- tunity it affords me of expressing my deep interest in the past work of the institution, and in its prospects for future usefulness. The Albany Academy, among the older educational institu- tions of the State, has been among tlie most successful. It has been the source to your community of unspeakable blessing. It has contributed very largely to the intellectual culture of your city. From its graduates the -college with which I am connected has from time to time received students, and their preparation for the higher education, upon which they have here entered, 54 have afforded us the best evidence of the thoroughness of their academic education, I am happy to be remembered as among the friends of the Albany Academy. (Sincerely yours, Henry Darling. From the Rev. E. B. Fairhairn, D. i)., Warden of St. Stephen's College. 8t. Stephen's College, ) Annanpale, N. Y., Oct. 22, 1888. \ Gentlemen — I beg to thank you for your invitation to the 75th anniversary of the Albany Academy. I wish it was in my power to be with you, but I shall not be able to leave home at that time. The Albany Academy has acquired a very valuable reputa- tion. It may be seen in the Cyclopedia of American Biogra- phy. I was surprised in seeing how many distinguished men of our country have received part of their education in this institution. May it still continue to do the good work, and place on its roll the names of others who shall be distinguished in all the departments of learning and enterprise. Very respectfully yours, E. B. Fairbairn. Maurice E. Viele, Esq., and others, Committee of Arrangements of Albany Academy. From Prof A. G. Hopkins of Hamilton College. Department of Latin, Hamilton College, ) Clinton, N. Y., October 24, 1888. ) Messrs. Archibald McClure and others, of the Committee of Ar- rangements : Gentlemen — Please accept my cordial thanks for your invitation to be i)resent at the celebration of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of tlie organization of the Albany Academy. Such an event cannot fail to be of great interest to all friends of education. The position of the Academy, at the cajjital of 55 the State, its long and honorable career, its series of honored and able instructors, and its marked influence on the interests of education, will all contribute to make the anniversary one of unusual dignity and importance. My father attended the Academy wlien it was under the charge of that prince of in- structors, T. Ronieyn Beck, who might be called without ex- travagance the Dr. Arnold of America. I have therefore, in a certain sense, inherited a profound respect for the Albany Academy. Permit me to send my heartiest good wishes for the success of the day and for the future of the Academy. It will stand in the future as it has in the past as an exponent of sound education. It would give me the greatest pleasure to join with you in the anniversary celebration, but my duties here compel me to decline. With great respect, I am sincerely yours, A. G. Hopkins. To Messrs. Archibald McClure and others, of the Committee. From Prof. Edward H. Griffin of Williams College. Williams College, ) Willi AMSTOWN, Mass., Oct. 23, 1888. / My Dear Sir — I am sorry that 1 cannot be present at the celebration of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the Albany Academy. I remember with much pleasure my service of a few months as a teacher, when you were at the head of the Academy, and have always been grateful for the considerate kindness with which you treated me, in my youth and inex- perience. We have had, during my connection with this Col- lege, quite a number of students from the Albany Academy, and they have given abundant evidence of the thorough and excellent training which they have received. It has been a pleasure to me to know that the standards and traditions of the school have been so well maintained. With thanks to the ('ommittee for the courtesy of their invi- tation, and with much respect and regard to yourself, 1 am. Very sincerely yours, Enw'ARi) If. Griffin. Hon. David Murray, LL. D., Albany. m From Prof. C. F. P. Bancroft, Principal of Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. Phillips Academy, 1 Andover, Mass., Oct. 28, 1888. / Messrs. Maurice E. Viele, David Murray, Archibald McClure, Frederick Townsend, Henry P. Warren, Com,mittee : Gentlemen — I have your polite invitation to be present at the exercises commemorative of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the organization of the Albany Academy, and 1 regret very much that I cannot join in the celebration — 1 desire to thank you for your remembrance and courtesy. The event is a nota- ble one and well worthy of a formal and public recognition. The Academy has enjoyed so much influence and reputation, has called together so many generous and faithful pupils, has done so large and so important a part of their education, has enlisted and retained the services of so many eminent scholars and noble men, has created for itself so many resources, gives promise of so much usefulness in the years to come, that all that shall be said on Thursday evening in reminiscence, or eulogy, or prophecy, will be a just tribute to a genuine insti- tution of learning, which has a part in which it may take pride, and a present full of promise. My connection with the cause of secondary education through my office in this ancient school, my acquaintance with you personally, and my familiarity with the history of the Albany Academy make it a hardship for me to forego the pleasure of attendance at your celebration. With great respect I remain, gentlemen. Yours faithfully, C. F. P. Bancroft. From Prof. John E. Bradley, Superintendent of Public Schools, Minneapolis, Minn. Minneapolis, Minn., October 27, 1888. My dear Mr. Viele — It would have given me great pleas- ure, had I been in Albany, to attend the celebration of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the organization of the Albany Academy. So grand a record as this institution has made, and such an impress as it has stamped upon the intellectual life of Albany, are worthy of a noble commemoration. I take 57 pleasure in recalling that, during the sixteen years of my con- nection with the Albany High iSchool, such cordial relations were constantly maintained between the two institutions. With best wishes for the continued success of the Academy, 1 am, my dear sir, Very sincerely yours, John E. Bradley. Acknowledgments were also received from : President Eliot of Harvard.

Yates, ) Wlierei^MJU, it was Resolved, That Messrs, Lansing, Henry and Bleecker be a Committee of Conference on the part of this Board, and at a meeting of the Board held Feb. 17, 1817, the Committee re ported the following resolution of the Common Council : In Common Council, Feb'y 10, 1817. Resolved, That in case an arrangement can be effected with the Legislature, for the sale of the Building lately erected on the public square for an Academy, that in such case this Board do hereby pledge its faith to the Trustees of the Academy, that they will forthwith proceed to build or purchase a suitable edifice, as a substitute for the unfinished building now proposed to be sold. From the minutes, George Merchant, Clh. Whereupon, ^'Resolved, That it will not comport with the interest of the Academy to accede to the terms of the above proposition ; but that this Board disposed to comply with the wishes of the Hon. the Corporation, will not withhold their consent to a sale sup- posed to conduce to the ease and comfort of our fellow citizens ; and the Committee already appointed are therefore authorized to concert with the Committee of the Corporation, the terms of such sale — the proportion of the consideration money to be retained by the Board, and also concerning a substitute for the present Academy, and further that they report the above to this Board for their approbation." It does not appear that any further report was made on this subject. APPENDIX C. The city was bound under an obligation dated March 15, 1818, to sell the ground ujion whicli the old gaol stood upon such terms and at such times as the Board of Trustees might require ; and also to deliver to the Board the material of the old gaol as soon as the new one should be finished. To render 145 this item of funds available, the committee appointed for that imrpose reoommeuded, at a meeting held April 28, 181^, that the property be sold at auction ujjon the following terms : Three-fourths of the purchase money to be on a credit of fif- teen years from the day of sale, at animal interest, to be se- cured by bond and mortgage on the premises. One-fourth part, with interest, at the choice of the purchaser, to be paid in twelve months from tlie sale, and to be secured in twenty-four hours after the sale by notes to be approved by a Connnittee of the Board ; or in fifteen years from the sale, wdth annual interest, secured to the Board by bond mid mortgage on other clear and adequate lands to be api)roved by the same committee ; the purchaser to make his choice in writing and deliver the same to the auctioneer within twenty-four hours after the sale. The nuiterials of the gaol Avere to be sold on the following terms : the price to be paid in four equal yearly instalments, with interest secured by personal security ; or at the option of the purchaser, to be paid within fifteen years of the sale se- cured by bond and mortgage on unincumbered property ; these materials to be removed in three months from the sale. This re})ort was adopted by the Board, and a copy of a reso- lution founded thereon was delivered to the cor})oration. Under this resolution the coi-poration ordered the property to be sold l)y the Chamberlain on the 22d of June, 1818, and it was struck off entire to Benjamin (loodrich for $10,800. Good- rich, however, did not fulfil the conditions of the sale, but de- livered to the Committee of the Board a relinquishment of all his right ; so, according to the resolution of the Board, a re- sale was ordered, and the property was struck off to Andrew Thompson for $16,900. He elected to secure all the purchase by mortgage, and accordingly gave a mortgage on the prem- ises for §12,675, and gave a further mortgage on No. 58 Lyon street (now Washington avenue) for $4,225. During the year 1S16 Mr. Thompson was unable to pay the interest on his mortgages, and the ])roperty thereafter came into the ]>ossession of the Academy, and was afterwards dis- posed of by the trustees. APPENDIX D. (Conmiittee, Messrs. Neill, Mc.Jimpsev and Donald. Re- ported Marcli 81, 1818.) 146 DEPARTMENTS OF EDUCATION. This Institution, as soon as the growth of its funds and the number ot Scholars shall permit, shall consist of five depart- ments, or distinct Schools of literature and science. I. Ancient Languages of Greece and Rome, with their Ge- ography, &c, II. Mathematics, inchiding Algebra, Conic Sections, Flux- ions, Geograithy. III. Natural Philosophy with its application to Astronomy and Mechanics. IV. Belles Lettres applied to Criticism, Composition, Oratory. V. Natural History, including- Botany, Chemistry, Miner- alogy. In the present state of the funds, the probable number of Scholars and the nature of the studies which they may prose- cute, the establishment of the two first departments may be deemed sufficient. 1st DEPARTMENT. Ancient Languages of Greece and Rome. This School shall consist of four Classes, taught by four ap- propriate Teachers in separate apartments. Class I. In this shall be taught Elements of Latin and English Grammars, Grammatical F2xercises, Penmanship, Latin Authors under Caesar and Virii-il — Speaking Select Pieces in English, and Catechisms every Saturday. Class II. In this Class shall be taught Caesar, Sallust, Virgil, Grannnatical Exercises, constant a])plication of the rules of Etymology, Syntax and Prosody — Pemnanship, English and Latin Grammars — Speaking Pieces in English and Latin, with Catechisms every Saturday. Clash III. In this Class shall be taught the Odes and Epodes of Horace, Virgil's Georgics, Cicero, Livy, Terence, strict at- tention shall be paid to the a})])lication of the rules of Syntax, Prosody and Scanning Metrical Measures, Versions from Flng- lish to Latin and from Latin to F^nglish, Greek Grannuar, Greek Testament, Elements of Ancient Geography and Ro- man Anti(piities, frequent rejjetition of English and Latin Grannnars, Penmanship — Sjjeaking Select English and Latin Pieces, in jjrose and verse, with Catechisms every Saturday. Class IV. In this class shall be taught the Satires and Epistles of Horace, Juvenal, Tacitus, Revisal of Terence, Homer, Xenophon, Demosthenes, Longinus, Anacreon, some Dramatic Grecian Poets, double Latin Versions aud Transla- tions, Greek Grammatical Exercises and Versions from F^nglish into Greek, Ancient Geography, Roman and Grecian Antiqui- 147 ties, Compositions in Latin, Ciiticisni on Classics — Frequent reviews of Latin, Greek and Englisli Grammars — [Speaking Pieces, Englisli, Latin and Greek, witli the study of the Evi- dences of Natural and Revealed Religion every Saturday.* 2d department. This School (the Mathematical), shall under present circum- stances 1)0 connuitted to the direction of one Preceyitor. In it shall lie taught Arithmetic, Vulgar, Fractional and Decinuil — Euclid's Elements, and Trigonometry with their application to Geometry, Astronomy and Navigation, Pennmnship, Geogra- phy, English Grannnar and Grammatical Exercises, the pro- jection of Maps in connection with practical Land Surveying — Catechisms, Speaking Select Pieces in prose and verse, every Saturday forenoon. Teachers. There shall at least be five Teachers at the commencement of this institution. The Principal shall have the care of the buildings of the Academy, the General Superintendence of the behavior of the Scholars, especially of the Classic Schools, and he shall teach the fourth or senior Class. He shall preside in meetings of the other Teachers for the government and disci- pline of the Seminary, shall be the organ of correspondence with the Board of Trustees and with the Regents of the Uni- versity in anrnial reports. It might be highly conducive to the ease of the Trustees and to the iiiterest of the institution that he should have a seat, without a vote, in the Board of Trustees. The teachers of the three other Classes shall be elected, ex- amined and have their Salaries fixed by the Board of Trustees, and be independent in their Classes, except in what regards harmony of system in education. The Mathematical Teacher to be wholly accountable to the Trustees and Regents in the management of his School, except in what regards the exteriuil government and discipline of the Academy. Of Salaries. These should be so liberal and so punctually paid as to se- cure the most respectable talents and their vigorous exertions in their res[)ective departments. * It is repectfully iiig-ed on the mature deliberation of the Board, to considei- whether a ))artial adoption of the Lancastei- i)lan, by Monitors, might not with ^Teat advantage both to Teachers and Scholars, find ad- mission into ea(;h Class. One of the tii-st Literary .Jonrnals of Enrope, in a late nunduM-, has remarked th(^ incr»>dible good etfects that has been jiro(bic.ed by its introduction into the M(!tropi>litan Grannnar School of their nation. Edinb : Review, No. 40, 1812. Pei'haps its etfects might be eipially beneticial, if adopted by theTVIath- ematical School. 148 The Salary of tlu^ Principal, from his station, from his supe- rior labors, and fi'om liis ros})onsil)ilty, as well as to secure re- spect, should exceed that of the other Teachers. Salaries shall, as far as practicable, be so settled as to stimu- late attention and exertion in the Teacher ; a surplus might be allowed on the annual increase of Scholars received into his Class. This might be aniuially adjusted and modified. This method has been represented as carrying some European Sem- inaries and especially the Grammar School and University of Edinburgh, to their unexampled celebrity during the last lifty years. Of Government and Discipline. This delicate subject may be detailed and adjusted with more advantage, by the joint exertions of the Trustees and Teachers when the Schools are carried into operation. Nothing should be enjoined but what is practicable and ob- viously, reasonable. Nothing prohibited that is not injurious. Nothing threatened but in mildness, and what is threatened in- flexibly inflicted, without passion and without partiality. Of Admission into the Schools. Any youth of competent age, who can read English toler- ably, and of decent deportment, may be admitted without ex- amination into the Mathematical School, and into the first Latin Class. Those who apply for admission into the higher classes must undergo an examination by the Principal and the Teacher into whose class he seeks admission, and their decision shall be final. No boy shall be expelled till after a fair hearing in the presence of the Teachers, and the concurrence of the Trustees on reviewing the transaction. Hours of Attendance. The hours of attendance shall be, during the summer half year, from six till eight o'clock, and from nine to twelve, in the forenoon, and from two to five, in the afternoon. In the winter half year they shall attend from eight till twelve, in the forenoon, and from two to five in the afternoon. In every School and Class a roll shall be kept, containing the name of every Scholar, which shall be called within five min- utes after the bell has rung or the clock struck the hour, and the name of every absentee and of those who are tardy shall be noted, wdiich shall remain for the inspection of Teacher, Parents and Trustees, and adjusted every Wednesday, as the Teacher shall by a rule prescribe. Fees of Tuition. These should be so low as to exclude the child of none who are not in a state of absolute penury, without being burden- 149 some, and to witlilioM the igiioraiit and sordid from enconraiiing Private Schools in the hands of unqualified Teacliers. They should be so high as to secure respect to the Teachers and to the institution. Above five dollars per quarter perhaps, they ought not to rise, nor fall under four. Poverty and merit united may expect the patronage of the Board. Of Vacations axd Examinations. There shall be two vacations annually. The first to com- mence on the first Monday in August, and expire on tlie first Monday of ye})tember. The second to commence on the 24th December, and to end on the first Monday of January. There shall no other times be admitted as holidays except those prescribed by public authority. Tliere shall be four Examinations, as nearly (piarterly as convenient. Two shall be public and held during the two days that precede each vacation. On these the Trustees, the City Corporation, the founders of the Academy, the Parents of the Pupils, and as many Citizens as can be conveniently accommo- dated, shall be expected to attend. The last day's examina- tion shall conclude with Orations delivered in }uiblic by the Scholars. At the end of the intermediate tpiarters an Examination of at least one day shall be lield in the presence of the Trustees, or a Committee ap})ointed by them, and the Parents and Guar- dians of the Scholars. The Examination shall bo conducted either by the respective Teachers of eacli Class, or by persons whom the Board of Trus- tees may previously appoint for that purpose. Of£Premiums. Premiums shall be conferred at the close of examination on one or more boys in each class who shall have distinguished themselves for superior })roficiency in their studies, combined with correct behavior. Tlu; Teachers, in deliberation with the Trustees, shall en- deavor to ascertain the victors, and to avoid imputation of par- tiality, or individual censure, they shall declare their decision by ballot. The Premiums shall consist of correct and elegant co])ies of such books as they have recently studied, or of such as maybe employed in those new Classes into which they are about to enter. The books shall be inscribed with some* aj)propriate inscrip- tion, accom])anied by the namii of the Teacher, and the seal of the Board of Trustees, and sli;i II be (h^livered publicly by the 1.50 Principal of the Academy, or by the Presichiut of tlie Board of Trustees, with a short conijjlinientary address. 8fei^" It is expected business will conmieuce in tliis Academy the first of September next. APPENDIX E. To the Citizens of Albany and its Vicinity : The corporation of tliis city, from most enlightened and praise-wortliy views, have })artial]y endo.wed and obtained the incorporation of an Academy in tliis place. The design of the institution is the solid and deep instruction of the youth in all the branches of learning and science usually taught in schools and colleges, so as to afford an opportiniity of thorough education in all cases, but more especially in those where there is either an inability to bear the expense, or a disinclination to expose youth to the hazard of education abroad. The design merits the zealous and liberal support of parents and guardians, and of all who wisely look upon sound knowl- edge as one of the great causes of morality, piety and useful- ness of character. The Trustees are anxious to employ teachers of endnent ability as the only means of rendering the Academy superior in reputation ancl beneficial effects to ordinary schools. But this can not be done without a permanent yearly income, en- abling the Trustees to offer and ensure the punctual payment of large and adequate salaries. The endowment of the Corporation consists of a lot along the public square that must be reserved for buildings ; of the sum of five thousand dollars, and of the price that may be got for the lot and materials of the old gaol, which will probably not exceed 12,000 dollars. The greater part of this sum will be expended in the execution of suitable edifices, and but little will be left as a source of revenue. The money to be derived from tuition, the charge for which ought to be low, will not be more than enough to pay subordinate instructors and contingent expenses. It is therefore obvious, although the Corporation have acted liberally, and are deserving of the highest commendation, that without a sameness of spirit in their fellow citizens, manifested not in words, but in generous contributions, the design of the founders will not be accomplished. The Trustees, consisting of 8tei)hen Van Rensselaer. Archi- bald Mclntyre, John V. Henry, Henry Walton, William Neill, John M. Bradford, John M'Donald, Timothy Clowes, Jolni 151 M'Jinisey, Frederick Gr. Mayer, Samuel Merwin, Theodore Sedgwick, Joliu Uuer, Harmaiius Bleecker, the Mayor and Recorder of this city, have appointed us a Connuittee to solicit subscriptions for establishing a comitetent fund. Witliout mentioning the usefulness and the dignity of knowl- edge, the policy of spreading it as widely as possible amongst all classes of })eople in our republican government, we may be permitted to urge, as an excitement to a spirit of liberality the necessity of wdping away the deserved reproach ujjon a city so old, so populous, and so rich as ours, of being without a public seminary for teaching even the rudiments of knowledge. There is another view of the suV)ject, ui)on which we address you, relating to economy, which ought to be i)resented, as an imi)ortant motive to liberal contributions. We shall take it for granted, that the yearly expense of educating a boy from home is at least 250 dollars, and that no less than four years must be spent abroad for that pur})ose. Suppose a subscriber to the funds of the Academy to give 500 dollars. The account in favor of education at home for that period, would stand thus : Principal sum expended abroad §1 ,000 00 Interest on 250 dollars from times of payment, say 3, 2 and 1 years 105 00 __$1105 00 Subscription $500 00 Interest thereon for 4 years ] 40 00 Tuition money to tlie Academy, at 20 (h)llars a year ' 80 00 Interest on 20 dollars from the time of payment, say 8, 2 and 1 years 8 40 $728 40 Making a clear saving of §376 60 The additional cost of subsistence at home is not taken into the account, as it would be more than counterbalanced by travelling charges, extraordinary pocket money, more cost in dress, &c. The sum just stated, would be the saving in the education of one boy. But mark, upon every other boy to be educated, it is clear that the princijjal expenditure of 1,000 dollars, deducting tlie tuition money, would be saved. In the education of three sons, a i)arent would thus avoid in four years an expenditure of 2199 dollars. Besides economy, and the disinterested pleasure of doing good to the present and to future generations, it should be 152 remembered that a domestic seminary, whilst it raises emula- tion, and affords all the other advantages of a public school, leaves the habits, the manners, the morals, and the religion of children under the innnediate vigilance and care of ])arents, at a time of life when wrong im})ressions are seldom effaced. It may he further stated that the Trustees have the power and the inclination, should their finids admit of it, to institute a school for female education. To prevent any inconvenience, it is to be left discretionary with each subscriber to ])ay his subscription within sixty days, or to secure payment thereof satisfactorily, within sucli times as he shall think proper, with lawful interest yearly; and to prevent the object of any subscriber's numificence from being defeated, he may reduce or strike out his subscription, if the whole subscription shall not amount to 30,000 dollars. We make this address to ap})rise our fellow citizens of the nature of our appointment, and to give time for retiection before the subscription lists are presented, under a conviction that the more the subject is thought upon, the stronger will be the inducement to generous donations. John M. Bradford, Henry Walton, Theodore Sedgwick, John V. Henry. APPENDIX F. Containing List of Subscribers to the Fund for the Sup- port OP THE ACADEMY^ Whereas, an Academy has been incorporated in this city, in which all the branches of science are intended to be taught that are usually taught in schools and colleges ; but there are not sufficient funds to produce a certain yearly income that will eimble the Trustees to employ teachers of the greatest eminence, wliich is indispensably necessary to the accomplish- ment of the great end of the institution ; We, the subscribers, do therefore, in order to establish such fund, hereby severally promise to pay to "The Trustees of the Albany Academy " the sums annexed to our respective names, leaving it discre- tionary with us, either to pay the same within sixty days, or satisfactorily to secure the payment thereof, within such times as we shall think proper, with lawful interest yearly.
