The Oread Col- legiate Institute existed only one generation. What its purpose was and how that purpose was accomplished, it is the object of this book to shov* . Its life began in the early days when no college except Ober- lin opened its doors to women, a quarter of a century before Mt. Holyoke became a college, and when there was as yet no Vassar, nor Wellesley, nor Bryn Mawr, nor Smith to furnish the higher education to women which the times were now beginning to demand. Upon Mt. Oread, as it was afterwards called, there arose unexpectedly out of its barren and rocky eminence, a unique building like a veritable old castle with its gray walls and turreted towers, giving no evidence, from its appearance, of the purpose fur which it was designed. Here a school was founded which was one of the first to furnish a college educa- tion to women. This book tells us of the good work which it accomplished, of its Christian influence and its high moral tone, of its growth and prosperity, until, its work being completed, it gave place at length to younger colleges. Although our Alma Mater exists to-day only in the lives of those who were educated here, yet her influence lives on, and we would not forget that "I he past has made us what we are to-day By its slow progress and its sure decay. All that we have, and prize, and keep in store Came from the toils of those who lived before. Scorn not the heritage in trust bestowed, Nor underrate the source from which it flowed. Upon life's ladder to a higher stagi Have we ascended in this latter age. We'll not ignore the steps, moss-grown and gray, Nor scorn the scaffolding that falls away." * * From the poem of Rev. S. Dryden Phelps read at the Graduation Exercises of the Class of 1871. viii Preface Although our original intention in collecting the biographies included in this book was to give pleasure to old pupils of the school by furnishing them information about Oread friends and teachers, we have unconsciously gathered together in them a high tribute to the value of the Oread training, which not only inspired its pupils to a love of study, but was also practical and fitted them for the ordinal"}" but not less important duties of life. Many who were trained here continued their studies after leaving school and became prominent in educational and literary work, and some have done heroic and self-sacrificing service on the foreign and home missionary fields. Others returned home to take up the tasks that were getting burden- some for father and mother. Many went out to bless the com- munities in which they lived by works of love and charity, to build up happy homes, to train up children for positions of use- fulness and honor, and thus to hand on to other generations the influences received here. None have done the Oread more honor than these. In presenting this History to the friends and pupils of the ( )read the Editors take pleasure in making the following acknowledgements : Thirty-four members of the Association were selected to serve as Assistant Editors of the Oread History. Twenty-one of these were assigned the work of procuring the biographies of members of the graduating classes, their assignments being as follows : Class of 1854 Mrs. S.

The missing - biographies have since been secured by the Editor and the Corresponding Secretary of the Association, so that the record of graduates as found in this book is. as far as is known, absolutely complete. Six of these Graduate Editors, with ten others, obtained the biographies of the non-graduates, their assignments being as follows : Pupils entering in 1849-57 Miss Elizabeth D. Bugbee and Miss Esther H. Baker Pupils entering in 1857-59 and in iS69.Mrs. Laura Goodnow Matoon* Pupils entering in i860 Mrs. Eleanor Bliss Dexter Pupils entering in 1861 Miss S.

Greene Pupils entering in 1877 Mrs. Mary Rose Pepper Pupils entering in 1879-81 Miss Ida M. Thayer The non-graduate record contained in this book is inevitably very incomplete. Several whose addresses were known did not reply, the addresses of very man}- are still unknown, and even the names of many who attended the Oread are probably still unfound. owing to an incompleteness in the file of cata- logues. In order to make sure that no one was left out who would be glad to be included the Associate Editor sent a second circular to all whose addresses were known and who did not reply to the first circular. Beyond this it was impossible to go. * Deceased, June 28. 1905. x Preface The task of procuring the biographies of the teachers was assigned to five Editors, as follows : Teachers of 1840-59 Miss Mary S. and Miss Elizabeth A. Clapp Dr. Pattison's Family Mrs. Harriet Boynton Gunnison Teachers of 1859-79 Mrs. Martha Burt Wright Teachers of 1879-81 Miss Abbie S. Davis The following agreed to be responsible for the financial suc- cess of the work, Mrs. Rockefeller to the amount of $100, the others to the amount of $50 each : Miss Esther H. Baker, Miss Anna M. Bancroft, Mrs. Mary Bancroft Winsor, Miss Elizabeth D. Bugbee, Mrs. Martha Burt Wright, Mrs. Alice Bigelow Knowles, Mrs. Ida Boyden Day, Mrs. Laura Merriam Mayo, Mrs. Laura Spelman Rockefeller, Mrs. Eli Thayer and family, The Class of 1861. For the facts contained in the first chapter of this History, "The Founding of the Oread," the Editors are indebted to Air. Franklin Rice of Worcester, who kindly loaned the manu- script copy of a chapter on that subject in his unpublished Fife of Eli Thayer. The third chapter, "Reminiscences of the Early Years of the Oread," was made by welding together material obtained from a large number of sources. Among these may be men- tioned as of special importance the manuscript of an address given by Mrs. S. jane Wheelock Hickok at the third annual meeting of the O. C. I. A., and extracts from letters written b) Bernette Mill in [855 56, and loaned to the Editors by Mr. G. B. Williams of Milford, Mass.. her husband. Much valua- ble material was also furnished by Miss Elizabeth D. Bugbee, Miss Elizabeth A. Clapp, Miss Susan F. Fairbank, Mrs. Cor- delia Loring Brooks and Mrs. Mary ('apron Mason. We are also deeply indebted to a large number of other early < )reades, who have shown unusual kindness and interest in answering our numer< ius inquiries. To the Corresponding Secretary oi the Association, Miss Anna M. Seaver. we are beholden for much o| the material in Preface xi the chapter "Dr. Pattison's Administration." The chapter following, "Reminiscences of the Oread under Dr. Pattison," bears the name of its author beneath its title. It is unnecessary to add that an article by the pen of Helen Kendrick Johnson would give a touch of distinction to any hook. .Mrs. Charles A. Dean of Wellesley Farms, Mass., though not herself an Dread pupil, has always shown deep interest in the Oread and the Association. In token of this interest, and as a memorial to her two Oread sisters, Rosalinda Healy Palmer of the class of 1855, and Ellen Pleroma Palmer of the class of 1862, she has given one hundred dollars towards the publi- cation of this book. A perusal of their biographies will show- that to very few whose lives are recorded here could a memorial be more fittingly given. Both were noble women who lived lives consecrated to the good of others, though in entirely different spheres of action. Rosalinda, a girl of rugged piety, exceptional mental gifts and strong pioneer virtues, early took upon herself, as the eldest daughter in a family of small means, the task of not only winning an education for herself, but of helping the four younger sisters to do the same. Though devoted to her family, she was a woman of large interests and sympathies and was a source of strength, cheer, and courage to many a weaker soul. She died in early maturity. To Ellen were opened the unusual opportunities of service in home missionary fields. Like the Apostles of old, she counted the many trials and hardships incident to her labors as "all joy," and the amount of work she accomplished was little less than marvelous. In addition to the ordinary duties of pastor's wife and mother of a large family of children, she was tire- lessly active in organizing and upbuilding societies for Christian work of all kinds, in raising monev for church and benevolent ends, and in doing countless deeds of kindness to the poor and needy. She educated all her children, partially preparing the two eldest for college. She died at the age of sixty. The family of Mr. Eli Thayer, founder of the Oread, and Mrs. Harris R. Greene, wife of its well-known Principal, have rendered us invaluable services in furnishing facts, other- wise unattainable, both for the historical and the biographical parts of the book. Mrs. Thayer and her family have con- xii Preface stituted a final court of decision in all doubtful cases, especially with regard to the early years of the school. Miss Alice Wright has been her mother's secretary and has devoted her time almost exclusively for the past year to the preparation of the material for the press and the correcting of the proof. A complete Index of Names has been made by Dr. Henry B. Wright. The pleasant task of giving "honor to whom honor is due" cannot be concluded without a reference to her without whose arduous and untiring labors, cheerfully given, this history could not have been. We refer to the Corresponding Secretary of the Association, Miss Anna M. Seaver. Starting in 1901 with only three catalogues and only five or six known present addresses, she had at the time of the decision to publish a History in kjo2, compiled a list of over 1,400 names of former Oread pupils, and had obtained the addresses of over 800. The large majority of the biographies found in this book were obtained through a use of her lists, which had been published, or from additions to these lists which she has been constantly making. If we are to give due credit to all who have assisted us, the list should not be limited even to the large number already men- tioned. To the many Oreades who have given of their time and interest in searching for missing dates and facts, and in obtaining biographies of Oreades long since passed away, who have expressed in so kindly a way their pleasant anticipations of the hook, and yet who have shown so much patience in waiting for the large task of its publication to be accomplished, we can only render our heartfelt thanks, and hope they may find some measure of reward in the perusal of this book which they them- selves have so largely helped to make. M. B. W. New I [aven, ( !onn., July 7, 1905. THE FOUNDING OF THE OREAD THE Oread Collegiate Institute was founded by Mr. Eli Thayer in the late forties. Becoming convinced that it was one of the demands of the age that young women have the same opportunity for study and intellectual develop- ment as young men, he began with characteristic energy and originality to work towards this end, and for several years devoted his time and means untiringly to its accomplishment. The establishment of the Oread was his original conception, and he carried out his plan without asking advice or assistance from anyone. Sometime in 1845 ne purchased a tract of land on what was then known as Goat Hill, a barren and rocky eminence in the suburbs of Worcester. By subsequent purchase he enlarged this field till it covered about ten acres, extending to and including the lot on which the Piedmont Church now stands. For the school buildings Air. Thayer was his own architect. He per- -1 mally supervised the work of construction, and we can easily believe that no workman ever ventured to disagree with him or disobey him about his plans or methods. How little Mr. Thayer had said to outsiders about his scheme, and how little he had sought the advice and support of others, is shown by the fact that his intention to erect a young ladies' school on the summit of the hill he had bought was not discovered till a part of the structure was nearly completed. Mr. Thayer's original plan was a building resembling a feudal castle of the Middle Ages, in the form of a quadrangle. with an inner court about 170 feet square. Circular towers 50 feet in diameter and four stories high were to be placed at the four corners. These were to be connected by four halls, each three stories high and 40 feet deep, the whole to be used for dormitories, recitation and lecture rooms, dining rooms. reception rooms, and other apartments which such an institu- tion would require. The building thus planned w r as designed to accommodate about six hundred students, more than were 2 Oread Collegiate Institute then found in any American college. The foundation of the north tower was laid in 1848 and the tower completed in 1849. The south tower was finished in 1850, and the east hall, con- necting these two towers, in 1852, the whole having a frontage of 250 feet. The other parts included in the original plan were never begun. It is an interesting fact that the stone used in the construction of the building was quarried from the hill on which it was to be erected. Mr. Thayer called the new school the Oread Collegiate Institute, and named the hill on which it stands Mt. Oread. The name was suggested by Vergil's lines on the mountain nymphs who followed Diana, Aen. I. 500, — quam mille secutae Hiuc atque hinc glomerantur Oreades. The building was called by the pupils Oread Castle.* The school was opened May 14, 1849, though at that time the north tower only was completed. The fourth story con- tained seven rooms and was occupied by fourteen boarding pupils, two being placed in each room. Day scholars were also admitted. During this year instruction was given in a single large room on the third floor, the dining room was on the lower floor, and the remainder of the tower was occupied by Mr. Thayer and his family. f Mr. Thayer and Mrs. Thayer's sister, Miss Rebecca Capron, taught all subjects except French, which was in charge of a non-resident instructor from the city. The records of this year are not preserved, but we are told that Ellen Capron was the first pupil, and that the following were among the first, — Juliet Warner, Maria Partridge, Isabella and Addie Flagg, Hannah Pond and Susan I )arling. After the second tower was completed, a year later, it was occupied by the boarding pupils and resident teachers. It also ;:: In honor of Mr. Thayer, whose Emigrant Aid Company sent settlers into Lawrence County and did so much to make Kansas a free state. the name Mt. Oread was given to the projection of the bluff bordering on the Kansas River Valley at Lawrence, on which the University of Kansas was located in [866. f This tower was Mr. Thayer's residence until December, [898, when the building was purchased by Mr. Henry I ). Perky in order to estab- lish the School nt Domestic Science. Founding of the Oread 3 contained, besides dormitory rooms, the music rooms, recitation rooms, and chapel. The dining room was still in the north tower, which, before building operations on the connecting ball were begun, was connected with the south tower by a plank walk, across which the girls marched three times a day to their meals. After the first story of the hall was built the girls passed back and forth through the unfinished building. The resident teachers of this year were only two in number, besides Mr. Thayer. Miss Clarke was now the Preceptress (called in those days "the Governess"), while Miss Capron remained as teacher of music. According" to the prospectus of this year, there were three non-resident teachers, the French instructor, Mons. Mailly, Mr. Henry Woodward, teacher of Painting and Drawing, and Miss Cornelia A. Brigham, Assistant in the Eng- lish branches. The school was already beginning to be a popular one in the immediate vicinity. There were many day scholars, and although the boarders were mostly from the nearby towns, all the Xew England states were represented. The boarding pupils this year are reported to have been twenty- two in number. Upon the completion of the whole eastern facade in 1852, the school became at once popular, and the boarding pupils entirely filled the building, while the day scholars brought the whole number in attendance well up towards one hundred and fifty. In 1854 there were twelve teachers. At no period in its history was the school more prosperous, nor did it ever have a higher standard of scholarship than in the years between 1852 and 1856. Mr. Thayer had planned an institution of a high order, and it proved itself one worthy to be called a woman's college. Three departments were established, primary, academic, and collegiate, the latter of which offered a four years' course of study closely modelled after that of Brown University, of which Mr. Thayer was a graduate in the class of 1845. Besides the regular academic studies, instruction was also provided in painting, drawing, music, and other branches considered essential in the education of women. Nor was physical training neglected. Regular exercises in gymnastics were recpiired of every pupil, "as means of health and to develop symmetry of form and grace of carriage ;" the students were expected to walk daily in the 4 Oread Collegiate Institute open air ; and a stone barn and riding amphitheatre, in archi- tectural harmony with the main building', were erected on the grounds soon after the school was established, to provide an opportunity for equestrian exercise. The spirit with which Mr. Thayer embarked on this new enterprise, the independence with which he assumed the entire burden of responsibility. — be the outcome success or failure — RIDING AMPHITHEATRE AND STONE BARN. is shown in the following statement which was printed in some of the early catalogues : "Individual effort originated and has thus far sustained this institution. It lias received no endowments from private muni- ficence or public bounty, except good wishes and liberal patron- age. This is all the endowment it will receive in the future. Whatever may be the result, it must stand on its own merits, and the will of the people. We hope that its patronage will never be prompted by any feelings ol compassion or condescen- sion. We sell education at cost. 1 1" our merchandise is not worth our price, or if we have brought wares to the market for which there is no demand, we ask no one to share our loss. Founding of the Oread 5 "Oread Castle was founded in good faith, under the honest conviction that it might serve the country, and the world. by advancing, in some degree, the able cause to which it is devoted. Such, we hope, may he its destiny." But although Mr. Thayer put himself under obligation to no one in his undertaking, he had the cordial approval and moral support of many eminent persons, among the number being Francis Wayland and Barnas Sears. Presidents of Brown University; Rev. George Bushnell, the first pastor of Salem WASHBURN EDWARD EVERETT HALE. Street Congregational Church and the first Superintendent of Schools in Worcester : Edward Everett Hale, then settled over the Church of the Unity in Worcester ; Lydia Maria Child, the distinguished author and anti-slavery champion, and Hon. Henry S. Washburn of Worcester, best known as author of "The Vacant Chair." :: All of these, with the exception of Miss Child, were on his Board of Reference for many years. * "The Vacant Chair" was written in memory of Willie Grout, who was killed by a spent ball after distinguishing himself by acts of notable bravery at the Battle of Ball's Bluff. October 21, 1861. At the time of his death he held the rank of First Lieutenant, though only eighteen years old. He was the brother of Xellie and Lizzie Grout., who were pupils at the Oread under Mr. Thayer and Dr. Pattison. LIFE OF ELI THAYER ELI THAYER was born in Mendon, Mass., June n, 1819. He was seventh in direct descent from John Alden and Priscilla through Ruth, daughter of Rev. Noah Alden of Bell- ingham, who married his grandfather, Benjamin Thayer. He received his early education in the district schools of Mendon, at the Bellingham High School, and in the Academy at Amherst. He prepared for college at the Worcester "Manual Labor School," afterwards the Worcester Academy, and graduated from Brown in 1845, the Salutatorian of his class. On his return to Worcester the following autumn, he taught in the Worcester Academy and soon became its Prin- cipal, but gave up this position in 1849 m order to assume the management of his own new school, the Oread, situated on the opposite hill. His duties at the Oread did not prevent him from taking an active interest in political life, and from the time of his election to the school board in 1852 (a position which he held for several years) he gave more and more attention to public affairs, leav- ing the care of the school more and more to his excellent corps of teachers. In 1853 he was elected a member of the board of aldermen, and in 1853-54 he served as representative in the State Legislature, distinguishing himself here by presenting a bill to incorporate the Bank of Mutual Redemption. hi 1854 he proposed, and in the next few years successfully carried out, the remarkable scheme which made his name one of the important ones in the history of this country. His plan was to settle Kansas, which was organized and opened for settlement as a territory in May, 1854, with enough anti-slavery supporters to make it a free state. He organized the Emigrant Aid < ompany and bad it incorporated, and so convincing was his eloquence, so great the interest and enthusiasm of the times, and so business-like and practical liis plan, that a large number oi emigrants were found to help him carry it out. The towns of Lawrence. Topeka, Manhattan, and Ossawatomie were set- ELI THAYER. Life of lilt Thayer 7 tied, and Kansas was added to the list of free states. Charles Sumner said he would rather haw the credit that is due to Eli Thayer for his work in behalf of Kansas than be the hero of the battle of Xew Orleans. In his address at Topeka, May 30. 1904, on the occasion of the semi-centennial celebration of the settlement of Kansas, Secretary Taft said : "When the enactment of the Kansas bill of 1854 presented the issue, shall Kansas be free or slave, a few men — hardly more than a dozen — determined to make her free by peopling the state with citizens who would forever exclude slavery from the limits of the new state. "It is noteworthy that the professed and prominent abolition- ists scouted the idea that this could be a successful movement, and rejected men engaged in it as allies because it did not appear with sufficient clearness that they were casting them- selves upon the altar in declared and open sacrifice for the cause of the negro. These theorists seemed not to be content with the bringing in of the state of Kansas as a free state. They demanded that it must be brought in on the avowed prin- ciple of love for the negro and in his interest. Had their views prevailed, Kansas might have been a slave state, but the men engaged in the work were practical men and of sterner stuff. Thev were little moved by words or formal distinctions. Eli Thayer traveled from town to town in the North soliciting aid for his emigration society and recruiting the ranks of the small bands of settlers already in Kansas or on their way there. When it became necessary to have guns, Thayer obtained them in the East and sent them to his fellows in Kansas. Robinson superintended and guided the movement in Kansas itself. With their lives often at stake, nothing daunted or discouraged the two patriots. They sacrificed everything but honor and honesty to the pursuit of the one purpose that Kansas, when admitted, should be admitted as a free state. Robinson restrained his fellows from serious conflict with the federal authority, and with a tact and finesse almost impossible for us to understand, limited forcible resistance to the repudiated ter- ritorial authorities and police. After two years, so well con- ducted was the campaign of Thayer and Robinson, that no movement was taken on behalf of the pro-slavery party and 8 Oread Collegiate Institute the border ruffians of Missouri, that did not rouse additional indignation on the part of the North against the pro-slavery movement in Kansas and additional sympathy with those who were there fighting the cause of freedom. "There are no greater heroes in the history of this country than Eli Thayer of Massachusetts and Charles Robinson of Kansas, who almost alone and single-handed entered upon the work of peopling a vast territory with free and brave men, so as to forever exclude human slavery from its limits." A similar appreciation of the importance of Air. Thayer's work in behalf of Kansas is expressed in a letter written by Rev. Edward Everett Hale to an old Oread pupil, dated at Roxbury, Alass., April 7, 1903: "Hon. Eli Thayer, who founded the Oread institute, was a remarkable person, to whom this country is more indebted than the country knows. At the moment when the Southern leaders chose to throw Kansas and Nebraska open to all emigrants, Air. Thayer accepted the challenge. Before the Act of Con- gress was passed, he had an act passed by our Legislature to form an Emigrant Aid Company. The consequence of that prompt action of his was that Kansas became almost imme- diately a free state. The civil war which began there seven years before the great Civil War, trained the young men of Kansas to arms, and the State of Kansas furnished a larger proportion of its inhabitants to the Union Army than any other state did. The population of that state to this hour has been a body of self-respecting, intelligent people, the fit founders of a great republic." In 1856 Mr. Thayer was elected to Congress under most peculiar circumstances. The Republican candidate. Judge Chapin, had, for personal reasons, withdrawn from the contest only eight days before the election, and Mr. Thayer was chosen to fill his place in the face of almost inevitable defeat. But in the few days that remained, with characteristic determination. he "stumped" the whole of Worcester County, speaking in twenty different towns, and carried the election by a majority of nearly two to one. lie took' his seat in December, [857, and kept it till [861.

The admis- sion of Oregon to statehood, in spile of much opposition, was Life of Eli Thayei brought about wholly by his untiring efforts, and in recognition of this he was sent as delegate from Oregon to the famous National Convention of i860. Under President Lincoln Mr. Thayer was appointed a special and confidential agent of the Treasury Department, in which capacity he served in 1861-62. His Emigrant Aid Company was so successful that on several occasions Mr. Thayer advocated the same method for the solu- tion of similar problems. In 1856 he organized a company for the settling of some of the border states of the South with anti- slavery settlers. The scheme was partially carried out, and the town of Ceredo. Virginia, was founded and settled. The breaking out of the Civil War, however, prevented further colonization. In 1862 he proposed to Secretary Stanton a like plan for the military occu- pancy of Florida. The scheme was approved by the President, the cabinet officers, the Republicans in Congress and by many army offi- cers. Well-known public men and capitalists volunteered their support, but later developments in public affairs prevented its accomplishment. On different occa- sions he advocated the same plan for the Americanization of Central America, and for the abolition of the Mormon evil. From 1864 to 1870 Mr. Thayer was in New York, serving as a land agent for the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad Com- pany. He was also an expert in matters of invention, and often acted as a referee in such cases. He himself was an inventor of prominence, some of his inventions being a hydraulic ele- vator, a sectional safety steam boiler, and an automatic boiler cleaner or sediment extractor. Mr. Thayer was always interested in the beautifying and improving of the city of Worcester. Many of the streets and lots in the neighborhood of the Oread were laid out and opened up by him, and he had much to do with the development of the south part of the city as a manufacturing district. What was MR.

His five daughters, Clara, Ida, Eva, Cora and Anna, were all pupils at the Oread, and his eldest son, John Alden, was Principal of the school in 1879. His other son, George, lives in New York City. Mr. Thayer died in Worcester, April 15, 1899. Mrs. Thayer still resides in Worcester, at 10 Hawthorne Street.

While it was near enough to the city to make the literary, musical and church opportunities of the latter acces- sible, it was, at the same time, quite a little outside of the city proper. To those who have known the Oread only within the t I Ml THE OREAD IN I9O4. last few years and think of it as situated in the very heart of a thickly settled portion of the city, it will seem strange to read the following extract from a letter written by a very evidently homesick new-comer to the Oread in the fall of 1855, — "To live in the city is one thing, and to live a long way out of it. where nothing is going on, not nearly so much as on a farm, and to be allowed to go to the city only at stated times, is quite another." lint to many, especially to those who had known only a city life before, the beautiful natural surroundings of the school were among its chief attractions, and an ever-varying source of the keenest pleasure. "There seemed to be a charming freedom and a really poetic element in those days on the hill-top, with 12 Oread Collegiate Institute such a boundless view in ail directions, and such a full and enjoyable liberty in the inner life of the school," writes one who was connected with the Oread in the early fifties. "The scholars were all expected to spend an hour at least every day out of doors. How beautiful we thought that to be always, but in the bright June days with the whole country-side around us it was ideal — perfect! And towards Xew Worcester, towards the wild open country, we had no limit to our walks if we returned in time for the next duties of school. One may well imagine the exquisite sense of freedom and enjoyment which this daily exercise gave to us young girls." THE LEDGE. Looking towards Worcester, there were scattering houses all the way from town, two large ones with fine grounds not so very far away belonging to Air. Allen and Mr. Grout. Early Oreades tell us that the street lamps were fewer and farther between, even, than the houses, making the return home from evening concerts or lectures in the city a dark and lonesome one, and one to be dreaded by timorous souls. In the other direction it was all open country, with no houses of any consequence. Hack of the Castle all was rough and rocky, with here and there a few old trees. A little distance away was a piece of woodland, not belonging to Air. Thayer, containing a chestnut grove, where the girls used to gather nuts. Near at hand was Eariy Years of the Oread 13 the Ledge, well-known to all Oreades and dear to many a one who discovered its possibilities as a place in which to spend pleasant afternoons writing letters, or less pleasant ones writing essays, but with always the opportunity to rest between para- graphs and enjoy the quiet beauty of the landscape. The ear- liest pupils will also remember a large excavation back of the building where the stone had been quarried of which the Oread was built. This was sometimes filled with water, on which the girls were wont to go sailing on make-shift rafts — which were, however, rarely able to reach the other side in safety. In front of the school was a broad stretch of pleasant lawn, adorned by hardly a tree of any size, extending to Main Street. This lawn was not kept clipped, but the grass was allowed to grow until June, when the girls are reported to have had great frolics in the hay fields. Another pleasant lawn stretched from Main Street to the summit of the hill opposite, where was the Academv, a large school for boys. The latter were often seen passing to and fro. but with them the girls had little to do. The Academy was quite old when the Oread was young, and only a few years after the founding of the latter its buildings were torn down and the school removed to another part of the city. It is an interesting fact that the first graduating exercises of the Oread were held in Academy Hall, the school chapel being too small. The school in general had little to do with the city, but an occasional party was made up for a concert, chaperoned by teachers. The girls also attended the Lyceum lectures in town, where they had opportunities of hearing some of the most prominent men of the day. The list of speakers in the year 1855-56 included the names of William M. Thackeray, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bayard Taylor, George \Y. Curtis, Starr King and Theodore Parker. The following extracts from let- ters written by one of the Oreades in December, 1855. and February, 1856, are interesting as showing the school-girl's point of view : "I have taken a ticket to a course of ten Lyceum lectures in the city hall. The first was last Wednesday evening by W. M. Thackeray. It was highly interesting. There are twenty who go from here, and I expect we shall enjoy the lectures much, though I shall have to study pretty hard to get my lessons and go. My studies occupy my time pretty fully." 14 Oread Collegiate Institute "Thursday evening we went down to hear Ralph Waldo Emer- son lecture. Was much pleased, as every one seemed to be, yet no one had a very clear idea as to the subject, but his lecture was mostly on beauty," — an estimate of Air. Emerson which I think a good many people would appreciate. The girls went into the city for church, too. The church privileges were of the best, and each pupil was allowed her choice as to denomination. The clay's routine at the Oread was very much the same as in later years. But I will let one of the pupils of those days describe it in her own words. "Breakfast was at 6.30 summer and winter. As we went to the dining room each carried down her oil lamp to be filled and carried back when we went from dinner. At breakfast while the rolls were coming in we each recited a verse of Scripture. After breakfast we had to care for our rooms. All the water used for toilet purposes had to be carried to their rooms by the girls themselves. For the first two or three years of the school it was brought from a spring, half way down the hill to the left. Afterwards we brought it from the dining room. Every morning before school began a certain time was set apart for each one in turn of every two occupants of a room to be in her chamber quite alone for what- ever devotional purpose she chose. School was opened at half- past eight, and morning devotions were presided over by Mr. Thayer. Then followed recitations and study periods. At least an hour's recreation was required every day, and this was, as has been said, usually taken in the form of rambles over the country roads and pastures to the southwards. An attempt was made to introduce archery about this time, but for some reason it did not become popular and was soon given up. Evening devotions were presided over by the Preceptress, and at this time the roll was called and reports on conduct made. "Friday afternoon there were no study hours, and if they bad permission the girls might go down town on that day, but we were not encouraged to go too often. Friday evening we were all invited to an 'at home' in the parlor, where we were received by the teachers. We made a little change in our dress, principally by unbuttoning our sleeves and basting a muslin puff into the cap of the sleeves. Short sleeves in winter made our evening dress. Music, games, capping poetry and some- Early Years of the Oread 15 times charades formed the entertainment. Capping poetry was one of Mr. Thayer's favorite diversions. He even gave his Geometry class practice in it for a few moments every day, thinking; it one of the hest ways to stimulate the memory. Someone started a line of poetry, chosen at random, and any- one who could think quickest repeated another line which must begin with the letter with which the last quotation ended. "Saturday there were no recitations. The morning was devoted to domestic matters. The laundry was made ready, and all who chose could go and do up their collars, ruffles and puff's. Each one must sweep and carefully dust her own room. In the afternoon we were supposed to do our mending, write letters, etc., and there were short study hours in the evening." A literary society which was founded in the early days of the school and whose life was commensurate with its life, was called the Oread Euphemia. At this time the society met every Wednesday. Three of the teachers were directors, and the pupils who were to take part at any meeting, by reading essays or reciting poetry, were appointed by them at the meeting previous. Some of the subjects of these essays have been handed down to us. "The True Reformer" and "The Dignity of Laughter" are two of them. Men of prominence were some- times invited to speak before the society. Later the meetings were held only once in two weeks and were entirely in the hands of the students. The society also edited a periodical called the Voice, which was read at its regular sessions. One of the advantages which the earliest generation of Oreades enjoyed, denied to later comers, was the personal instruction of Mr. Thayer. He was an excellent teacher, though he is said not to have been very fond of teaching. He insisted on thorough work and conscientious study, and soon made his pupils ashamed to appear in class unprepared. He taught the necessity of accuracv even in minor details, and was particularly grieved over the mispronunciation of a word, espe- cially in the languages. He was a man to inspire respect, and at times seemed stern and rather unapproachable, but he was always found to be a sturdy and loyal friend. Though he spoke briefly, what he said was strikingly to the point. Uncom- promising and of indomitable will, he was at the same time a man exceedingly just and of wise forbearance. A little inci- 1 6 Oread Collegiate Institute clcnt will illustrate this. One moonlight evening during the winter of 1850-51 a party of young people from the city came out to Mount Oread for a coasting frolic. The}- enjoyed them- selves for some time, sliding down the incline from the tower to the street on an enormous sled guided by a smaller one. Then they began to exchange shouts with the Oreades, who had gathered at the windows, watching the fun with increasing interest, and finally persuaded some of the bolder ones to come out and join in the frolic. They were having the best of times when suddenly they were startled by the ringing of the bell, and terrified by finding it was Air. Thayer himself who was handling" it so vigorously. Without a word of reproof Air. Thaver kindly said he realized how great was the temptation, but knowing it to be dangerous sport on account of the smooth- ness of the hill, could not permit them to engage in it. They were convinced then of his forbearance, and later, when an accident occurred whereby one of the party was seriously hurt, of his superior wisdom. Mr. Thayer's principalship came at a time when the anti- slavery agitation was at its height, and his intense interest in this movement, and especially his efforts to make Kansas a free state, aroused much enthusiasm among his pupils, who naturally sympathized with his views. The following is an interesting extract from a school-girl's letter to a friend, dated Februarv 3. 1856, — "Since tea I have been in Sophie Arms' room. We have been talking on a variety of subjects. One of them was slavery. Sophie is strong on anti-slavery. She says she wishes she were a man." On January 21 of the same \ear she had written, "I have this week to write an address to the slaves inciting them to insurrection. You do not know how the thought of it troubles me. I wish every slave in tlie land would arise and demand his freedom. Does it not seem incredible that in this age and this free land human beings can hold their fellow men in bondage."'" Again on February 24 she wrote, "What do you think of President Buchanan's Proclamation? Mr. Thayer is about sending a large number of guns into Kansas. Do you not think there will be a civil war before long? It .seems to me there will be, and 1 think war is preferable to the present state- of affairs. I wish that Freedom might peaceably gain the victory, but I do not believe Early Years of the Oread 17 she ever will." When Mr. Thayer was elected to Congress in 1857 the building was illuminated with candles at every window. "Those were stirring times for the country, and the young women of the Oread lived right at the heart of history. Eli Thayer was a member of the legislature, having been elected on an anti-slavery ticket. He conceived a plan for preventing the further extension of slavery at a time when the political leaders of the North, on account of the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, were in despair of rendering any effectual opposition to its extension ; and through the New England emigrant company so crystallized the opposition to slavery, and so efficiently organized that opposition, that Kansas became a free state, and all the resulting events, which are so well known, followed. There was then living in Worcester a Unitarian clergyman who has since won world- wide renown; 1 refer to the Rev. Edward Everett Hale. He was of the utmost assistance to the great work, and gave freely of his time and counsel in furthering it. He was a familiar figure on Oread hill during those days when he rode over on horseback to his frequent con- ferences with Air. Thayer. "There also came to the Oread during those times, the agents of the Emigrant Aid Company, Charles Branscomb, who led many companies to Kansas, and Charles Robinson, the first governor of Kansas, when it became a state, to whose sagacity and patience, more than to any other man's in Kansas, was due the successful issue of the contest. The president of the company, and one of its strongest financial backers, John Carter Brown of Providence, was also an occasional visitor at the Oread. Most of these were men whose names are now historic, but it is probable that few or none of the young college girls thought then of the part which they were playing in the great drama of our country. Naturally they would be more interested in the part which they them- selves took in making waterproof overcoats for the Stubs, a company which the Emigrant Aid Company sent to Kansas. One of the Stubs visited us many years after, when he was a successful mine operator, and spoke with pleasure of his overcoat with the inevitable letter in the pocket. Another of the Stubs was later congressman from Kansas, and was instrumental in securing the establishment of the Indian school at Lawrence, named in his honor Haskell Institute." * It was Air. Thayer's idea that girls could equal any college students of the other sex in intellectual achievement if they had the same advantages. This was an unusual view in those early days, but his confidence in their ability stimulated his pupils to a high standard of scholarship. He was very proud of his fine scholars, and took special satisfaction in the classes * From an address given at the Reunion of the Oread Collegiate Institute Association, October 14, 1904, by John Alden Thayer, son of the founder of the Oread. 2 18 Oread Collegiate Institute in Mathematics and the Languages. The Latin and French classes were often conducted entirely in those languages. At one time an original French play was given by the members of the French classes, and Latin essays were frequently written. At the end of each term were examinations, attended by a regular board of examiners, including many of the Worcester ministers and other citizens, at which Air. Thayer took much pride in the proficiency which his pupils showed in speaking and writing the different languages. At the graduating exer- cises of the class of 1855 each of the three graduates presented a Latin essay, in addition to her graduation essay, which was in English. At the Commencement in 1856 four of the five graduates read French essays and the other, the Valedictorian, presented one in Latin, in addition to their graduation essays in English. Besides these, on the same occasion, an Italian essay and one in German were read by two of the undergrad- uates. Air. Thayer also addressed the graduates in Latin when he presented the diplomas. Diplomas of two grades were given, that of Oreas Erudita and that of Oreade Polie. The former was written in Latin and the latter in French. The first was given on the completion of the regular course of study, which included Latin and higher Mathematics. The second was given to those pupils who had not taken these more difficult subjects but had substituted therefor advanced work in Modern Languages and courses in Painting, Drawing and Music. It is worthy of note that the majority of diplomas given throughout the life of the school were of the degree Oreas Erudita. To illustrate the high standard of attainments and scholar- ship which Mr. Thayer demanded of his graduates, it is only necessary to read the list of requirements for the degree of Oreas Erudita. The Collegiate Course covered four years, and was preceded by an Academic Course, which would par- tially correspond to our first two years in the High School. The studies in the Academic Course were Beginning Latin and Caesar or Nepos, Ancient History, Geography and Mythol- ogy, Higher Arithmetic and First-year Algebra, and Botany — with some English Grammar, Elocution, Geography and Com- position. In the four years of the Collegiate Course the pupils were required to take Vergil, Cicero, Horace and Tacitus or Early Years of the Oread 19 Livy, Mathematics as far as Calculus, French and ( ierman. Natural Philosophy, Universal History, Chemistry, Geology, Astronomy, Mental Philosophy, Ethics, Evidences of Chris- tianity, Rhetoric, and English Literature. Greek was optional and was taken by a few students only. Probably there was no college in the country then that offered better opportunities in [Modern Languages, for in addition to French and German taught by native teachers, optional courses were offered also in Italian and Spanish. It was only during the first two or three years of the school's existence that Air. Thayer took an active part in the class-room. During that time he taught Latin and Mathematics in the higher classes. But he had many outside interests, and after the Oread had become well established and was in the hands of competent teachers, he gave up his classes, though his influence did not cease to strongly pervade the school. For some time he con- tinued to conduct morning devotions, and he was often present at the Friday evening social gatherings, where he became acquainted with the pupils. His name remained in the cata- logues as Principal of the school until 1857. Mr. Francis Fowler then had charge of the school for one term. After this Miss Dodge, who had for four years been Preceptress, became Acting Principal. She held this position until 1859, when the school passed into the hands of Dr. Pattison. OREAD TEACHERS FROM 1849 TO 18J9 Since the existing records of the first ten years of the school are very incomplete, a list of the teachers of those days contain- ing no mistakes and no omissions cannot be guaranteed. The following has been compiled from the few catalogues in the possession of the editors, and from personal recollections of the pupils of that time. Each section is arranged in chronological order. Biographical accounts will be found on the pages indi- cated. Biographies of those who were pupils at the Oread before becoming teachers there, are included among the "Biographies of Pupils."

Oread Collegiate Institute BIOGRAPHIES OF TEACHERS Albert Salisbury Allen, son of Alvan and Lucy (Salis- bury) Allen, was born in Sturbridge, Mass., in the year 1828. He came to Worcester with his parents in 1836, residing there until his death in 1895. He was educated in the public schools of the city, and his musical studies were prosecuted in both Worcester and Boston. He became prominent as an organist, choir-master, and theo- rist, and had a large number of pupils in vocal music, among whom are to be numbered many of the earlier students of the Oread under Miss Dodge's administration. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, having seen active service in the Virginia campaigns in the Civil War. On April 18, 1850, Mr. Allen was married to Miss Eliza A. Cole of Boston, who was also possessed of musical gifts, and who sometimes sang for the students and invited guests at enter- tainments at the Oread. She was later also an instructor in vocal music there, under Dr. Shepardson and Mr. Greene. Their sons, Charles Albert and Frank Lincoln, are well- known citizens of Worcester at the present time, the former being a civil engineer and the latter a contractor. Benjamin Dwight Allen was born in Sturbridge, Mass., February 16, 1831, his parents being Alvan and Lucy (Salis- bury) Allen, both natives of Massachusetts. He was educated in the public schools and under private tutors, his musical studies being carried on under Henry C. Timm of New York, and Dresel and Satter of Boston. Mr. Allen taught music at the ( >read from the early years of the school until the close of Dr. Pattison's administration in 1864, and he continued teaching in Worcester until he left that Teachers from 1849-1859 2 3 city in 1894. During this period he taught also in Boston at the New England Conservatory of Music, and lectured at Boston University, and in various cities of New England. Ik- was a member of the Harvard Musi- cal Association, Organist of Union Church, Worcester, for thirty-seven years, and was also connected with the Board of Government of Wor- cester. At the Musical Festivals in that city he acted as organist, pianist, and conductor, in connec- tion with Carl Zerrahn and others. In 1894 Mr. Allen became Pro- fessor of Music in Beloit College, Beloit, Wise, and held the profes- sorship for eight years. At the present time he is Organ- ist and Choir Master at Manhattan Congregational Church, New York, and Assistant in the Musical Department of The Teachers' College, Columbia University. He is a member of the American Guild of Organists, also of the Clef Club. He has written musical compositions, songs, pieces for the piano and organ, and anthems for church use (mostly manuscripts). Mr. Allen was married August 18, 1857, to Miss Eliza Fox White of Worcester, who died August 18. 1894. Miss White had been a stu- dent at the Oread in the class of 1856 with high rank in scholarship, but was obliged, on account of ill health, to leave before graduation. Professor Allen's address is 1230 Amsterdam Ave., Xew York City. Elizabeth Grout Arms was born at Deerfield, Mass.. June 1, 1830, and died in New Haven, Conn., October 29, 1881. Her father was Aaron Arms of Deerfield. where his ancestors had lived since 1698, upon a farm purchased and occupied by the 24 Oread Collegiate Institute original settler, William Arms. Aaron Arms was graduated at Yale College in 1813, and received the degree of M.A. there in 1 818. He chose the profession of the Law, which he prac- ticed until his death, April 11, 1849. His second wife, and the mother of his three children, was Eliza Hapgood of Petersham, Mass., daughter of Hon. Hutchins and Betsy (Grout) Hapgood. Eliza Hapgood Arms died September 25, 1833, leaving her son and two little daughters to be brought up by her brother, Seth Hapgood of Peters- ham. Miss Arms accompanied her friend Miss Dodge from Town- send Seminarv, where she had been MISS ARMS AND MISS DODGE. _ teaching, to the Oread, in Septem- ber, 1853, and taught English at that institution until July, 1857. Her career as a teacher, though brief, was most suc- cessful. She possessed a clear intelligence, united with a sympathetic nature, and was universally beloved. She was married October 1, 1857, to Rev. Heman Lincoln Wayland, then pastor of the Main Street Baptist Church in Worcester. In 1861 Mr. Wayland enlisted as Chaplain in the Seventh Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers, with which regi- ment he was connected until 1864. Mrs. Wayland was with her husband in the South for some time, greatly endearing her- self to many of the soldiers by her affectionate interest in their welfare. In 1864 Mr. Wayland taught in Nashville, Tenn., going from there in 1865 to Kalamazoo, Mich., where he became Professor of Rhetoric and Logic in the College. In 1869 he received the degree of D.D. from Brown University, and in 1870 he accepted the position of President of a small college at Franklin, Ind., where he remained until 1872, when he assumed the editor- ship of the National Baptist in Philadelphia, which city he made his home until his death, November 7, 1898. During these years Dr. Wayland made his broad and kindly influence felt in many different ways, and was called upon to Teachers from 1849-1839 25 assume, at various times, a number of responsible positions. He was President of the Pennsylvania State Missionary Society, the Philadelphia Ministers' Conference, the New England Society of Pennsylvania, and the American Social Science Association. He was author of a "Life of Charles H. Spurgeon," and also, in connection with his brother, Dean Wayland of the Yale Law School, of the "Memorials of the Life and Labors of Francis Wayland, D.D., President of Brown University." He contributed numerous articles to leading periodicals on a great variety of subjects, and made frequent addresses, several of which were afterwards pub- lished. Dr. and Mrs. Wayland had two children, Francis Lincoln Wayland, now a lawyer in Philadelphia, born in Worcester, Mass., September 1, 1858, and Fanny Hapgood Wayland, born in Providence, R. I., April 12, 1864. The former married, December 2, 1885, Lillian Heberton Craige of Philadelphia. They have one child, Cicely Wayland, born December 27, 1888. Fanny H. Wayland was married November 19, 1885, to Professor Frederick W T eIls Williams of Yale University. They have two children, Wayland Wells, born August 16, 1888, and Elizabeth, born January 12, 1897. At this late day it is, unfortunately, not possible to enu- merate accurately the different interests, — charitable and lit- erary, — with which Mrs. Wayland was connected during the twenty-four years of her happy married life. She was closely identified with her husband in all that he accomplished, stimu- lating and encouraging him by her intelligent counsel and sympathy. Possessing, as she undoubtedly did, marked intel- lectual ability, the gradual merging of all personal ambition, in an eager desire to further in every way possible the best advancement of her family, is but a single instance of the simple beauty and unselfishness of her character. Rev. Mr. Bent taught Elocution at the Oread in the very early fifties. He afterwards established a school for boys in the Salisbury Mansion in Worcester, which continued for some vears. 26 Oread Collegiate Institute Miss Bigelow came to the Oread as a teacher in 185 1 from her home in Leicester, Mass., and taught probably until Mrs. Curtis took charge of the school in 1852. She died in Leicester many years ago. Cornelia A. Brig-ham, daughter of Charles and Susannah (Baylies) Brigham, was born at Grafton, Mass., November 17, 1823. Her father was son of William and Sarah (Prentice) Brigham, and great-grandson of Capt. Samuel Brigham of Marlborough. Susannah Baylies was daughter of Nicholas and Abigail (Wood) Baylies of Uxbridge. Miss Brigham was Assistant in English Branches at the Oread in 1850-51. July 5, i860, she was married to Calvin Taft, a cotton broker. Address : Mrs. Calvin Taft, 8 Trowbridge Road, Worcester, Mass. Rebecca Capron was born in Millville, Mass., in 1820, and died there in 1871. When the Oread was founded by Mr. Thayer, her brother- in-law, she was the first lady to teach in the school, becoming, in 1849, it s Preceptress, and continuing in this office for one year. Her department was English, until 1850, after which time she taught Music only. After leaving the Oread, in 1853, Miss Capron went to Marion, Ala., as Pre- ceptress in Rev. Mr. Jewett's school. When her sister and her husband went to Ceredo, a place in West Virginia colonized by Mr. Thayer before the Civil War, she accompanied 1 hem and taught there until the outbreak of the war drove them all back to New England. Later, when the same sister went with her husband to Washington, 1). C, to live, Miss Capron Teachers from 1849-1859 27 went also, and taught in the contraband schools in that city. She spent the last part of her life in Millville with her parents. Her superior character was in harmony with the beauty and nobility of her personal appearance. She was eminently social. Greatly beloved during her lifetime, by all who knew her, she is still remembered with affectionate admiration, by surviving" friends and relatives. Frances Hannah Clark was connected with the ( )read Institute as Preceptress during the year 1850-51. She was the daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Fellows) Clark, and was born in Upper Gilmanton (now Belmont), N. H., on March 25, 1827. She was a pupil in Charles- town Seminary, from which she was graduated in 1846. As Preceptress at the Oread, Miss Clark succeeded Miss Capron, whose time was now devoted wholly to the department of Music. When she came to the Oread the two towers had been completed, and before she left in 185 1, they were connected by the foundation walls of the intervening building, over which the pupils crossed in going to and from the dining room, which was still situated in the North Tower. The number of boarding-pupils had increased (according to one of them n>>w living), to twenty-two. The number was sufficiently large to give Miss Clark considerable responsibility when only in her twenty-fourth year. What her influence was on these young- girls is shown in an account written by one of them, who now in her mature years thus looks back upon this young teacher whose earthly life ended forty-six years ago. "Well do I remember that very superior lady, earnest, devoted and faithful, of quiet dignity, yet so cheerfully inspiring to her pupils ; a devoted Christian withal, whose prayers seemed to lift one to the very gate of Heaven." Her stay at the Oread was short. She left in 1851, and soon accepted a position in a smaller school, the Willow Glen Board- 28 Oread Collegiate Institute ing School, kept by Rev. Mr. Gannett, in West Cambridge, Mass. Here she remained three years. On October 25, 1854, she was married to William F. Swain, also a native of Gilman- ton, a graduate of Dartmouth College, residing in Columbia, Texas, who was at that time Editor of the Texas Democrat. After her marriage she taught for a short time. She died November 27, 1858, a few days after the birth of an infant daughter. A few years later Mr. Swain removed to Houston, where a valuable official position in the Masonic Fraternity was accorded him, which he kept almost to the time of his death in 1902. Mrs. Alma E. Curtis, nee Hnrd, a friend and connection of the Abbotts, a family of authors and scholars well-known in the earlv davs of the nineteenth century, came to the Oread as Preceptress in January, 1852, having been for several years an Assistant to Mrs. Abbott at the Spingler Institute, a collegiate school for young ladies founded by Rev. Gorham Abbott in New York City. She remained a year and a half at the Oread as Assistant to Mr. Thayer in the general supervision of the school. After Mr. Thayer was elected to the State Legis- lature great responsibility was thrown upon Mrs. Curtis in his absence. Her executive ability, her dignity and grace, fitted her admirably for the position. While she kept the regimen of the school up to the high standard ordained by Mr. Thayer, Teachers from 1849-1859 29 she added many pleasant embellishments to the daily routine, making the school a happy home and winning the love of all its pupils. At the end of two years Mrs. Curtis returned to the Spingler Institute, where she remained for several years. In 1867 she became the wife of Air. Osborn Howes, an eminent merchant and ship-owner of Boston, father of Hannah and Abbie Howes, pupils at the Oread. Besides these two there were seven other children, all but one of whom have since been established in homes of their own. Her later life has brought her many opportunities of travel in this country and in Europe. In 1893 Air. Howes died, and later Hannah and Abbie. With all her full domestic life Airs. Howes has been active in the charitable organizations of Trinity Church and of Boston. Despite advancing years she is blessed with good health and is able to enjoy not only the dear memories of the past, but the varied interests of the present. Address: Airs. Alma E. Howes, 416 Marlborough, St., Bos- ton, Alass. Minerva Cushing taught for a few months at the Oread when Airs. Curtis was Preceptress. She afterwards married Air. Alvah Crocker, and her present address is 325 Alain St.. Fitchburg, Alass. Mrs. Mary Sophia Shaw Dauble was the daughter of Enoch and Alar}' ( Upham) Shaw, and was born at Belcher- town, Alass., April 21, 1826, and died Alay 19, 1887. In 1850 she went to Assam, India, where she had a short, but extremely interesting and eventful life as missionary, and became the wife of Gottlieb Dauble. She came to the Oread as Alatron during the year 1858, remaining there for two years. She was afterwards, for a little while. Alatron at the Industrial School in Dorchester, Alass. On November 25, 1861, she was married to Air. John W. Philbrick of AVaterville, Ale., father of Lizzie Philbrick, an Oread pupil under Dr. Pattison. She was most influential, useful and beloved in church and community, being one of the pioneers in establishing the Woman's Foreign Alissionarv Circle in Maine. 30 Oread Collegiate Institute Hannah Perkins Dodge occupied the position of Precep- tress at the Oread from September, 1853, until January, 1857, and was Acting Principal of the school from that time till 1859. Nature had generously endowed Miss Dodge with peculiarly fitting qualifications for a teacher, and these she studiously cultivated during her girlhood. She inherited from her parents, Barnabas and Sarah Dodge, ■j and from her ancestors, at least three of whom served E» ^ M~> . tijt in the War of the Revolution, the elements of a strong and : m vigorous character. She was ■& " i "'-l born ni Xorth Littleton, fcgjjjiBi Mass., February 16, 1821, &tov| and was brought up as a farmer's daughter. When miss dodge and miss arms. seventeen years of age, she taught her first school, receiving as compensation one dollar a week and her board. Evidences of the thoroughness of her mental equipment for her future career, even to smallest particulars, are found in the verses which she wrote in early life, having in view for herself a well-rounded intellectual development. The power of versi- fying she occasionally made use of in after years, as she did also of her talent for elocution, for she was a fine reader. She graduated from Townsend Female Seminary in 1843, and was soon called to become a teacher there. In [846, when but twenty-five years of age, she was chosen Principal of the school, occupying this position for seven years. Her experience here prepared the way for her success in the still more important position of Preceptress at the Oread. Before entering upon the duties of this office, sbe was inci- dentally called to act for a few months as substitute in the Girls' High and Normal School in Boston. So acceptably did sbe fulfil her duties there that an effort was made to Secure her permanent services in the school. But Mr. Thayer under- stood too well the interests of his own institution to release her. The school, through Iter instrumentality, was raised to a high degree of excellence during the period of six years when she Teachers from 1849-1859 3 1 was at its head. She herself taught classes in Moral Philoso- phy and Mathematics, in a manner so clear and forceful that mi lesson failed to make a distinct impression upon the minds of her pupils. In the summer of 1859 ^fiss Dodge closed her connection with the ( >read, and erossed the ocean with a friend to spend a year in Europe. There she studied the modern European languages, and pursued the study and practice of art under proficient masters. In the autumn of 1861, that first year of the Civil War. and a most hazardous period for the in- auguration of any new enterprise, she opened her school for young ladies at Codman Hill, Dorchester, Mass., to which some of her former Oread pupils followed her. Under her administration Codman Hill en- joyed a prosperous life of five years. In 1868 Miss Dodge accepted the office of Lady Principal in Kala- mazoo College. Michigan, where she remained for two years. From 1874 to 1877 she was Lady Principal at Colby Academy, Xew London, N. H. Then her honorable and useful career as teacher for forty years came to a close, and she sought a quiet retreat in her native town, spending there the last eighteen years of her life. There she took delight in devoting her energies to the good of her fellow townspeople, accepting at their solicitation various positions of trust in the town, and enjoying their sincere esteem and affection. It was a fitting close to a most useful life. She died in Littleton, her native town, surrounded by those who delighted to do her honor, on January 11, 1896.* Marcy Foster, daughter of Franklin and Marcy (Hunt- ing) Foster, was born in Nashua, N. II.. September 5. 1838. Her parents were both of English descent, and long resident in southern Xew Hampshire and northern Massachusetts. * For many of the facts in this sketch the writer is indehted to "A Teacher's Message — A Memorial of Hannah Perkins Dodge." by Rev. William J. Cloues, published by Alfred Mudge & Son, Boston, in 1896. 32 Oread Collegiate Institute She came to the Oread as teacher of English Literature in September, 1858, and left in July, 1859. She taught for three or four years in the Eliot Grammar School in Boston, and then for one year, 1867-68, took charge of the office work and evening classes of the Boston Young Women's Christian Asso- ciation. On December 1, 1869, she was married to Ithamar W. Beard of Lowell, Mass. Mr. Beard practiced law until 1873, when he entered the ministry of the Episcopal Church. His first parish was in South Groveland, Mass., his second in Dover, N. H. He is now Chaplain of the New York Almshouse on Blackwell's Island. Their children reside in New York. Mrs. Beard was an interested member of the Woman's Literary Club in Dover for many years. She writes : "What- ever benevolent work I have done since my marriage has been in connection with my husband's work as clergyman." At present she is especially interested in working among the women at the almshouse who are blind. Address : Mrs. Ithamar W. Beard, Blackwell's Island, N. Y. Mrs. Mary Kennedy Gay Gove, daughter of Ziba and Mary (Kennedy) Gay, the eldest of ten children, was born at Niagara Falls, N. Y. When she was three or four years of age the family removed to Nashua, N. H., making the journey by canal and by "prairie schooner" over the Vermont Hills. In 1844 she was married to Judge Charles F. Gove, and con- tinued to reside in Nashua, where the greater part of her life was spent. In the early part of the year 1855 she became teacher of Painting at the Oread. Here she remained a year or more, testifying by her thorough and able teaching to the true artistic sense which she possessed. After leaving the Oread Mrs. Gove taught music and painting for a short time in the Young Ladies' School of her sister, Mi^s K. Jane ( lay, in Knoxville, Tenn. Afterwards she lived in Nashua, where she had pupils in painting, and was organist of one of the churches. I ler oil sketches of the beautiful scenery in Wilton, X. II., are still preserved and valued, and show a line skill in the representation of foliage. In her last year Mrs. Gove made her home with her brother, Mr. Ziba Gay, in North Chelmsford, Mass., where she died January 10, 1874. Teachers from 1849 r#5p 33 Eliza A. Graves taught Drawing and Painting at the Oread from 1855 to 1857 or 1858. She was born in the town of Sunderland on the Connecticut River in Franklin Comity, Mass., August 7, 1817. Her parents were Horatio and Fanny (Gunn) Graves. Her descent was English and Norman on her father's side, English ( Montague) and Scotch on her mother's side. Miss Graves' childhood was strongly marked by her love of the beautiful; and a taste for an artistic life was early devel- oped, possibly under the inspiration of the very picturesque scenery by which her early home was surrounded. Her social traits were also strongly marked. Her gift of language was full and free, and she gave early promise of the brilliant con- versational power she afterwards developed, as well as of her artistic taste. Miss Graves' life, from 1844 to 1857 or 1858. was occupied as a teacher of Art at Knoxville. Tenn., in Greensboro Female College, X. C, in Montgomery, Ala., and at the Oread. Those who now recall her as an art teacher at the Oread, remember her very pleasantly. Her ill health caused her to sever her connection with the Institute, and checked the power of her brave and forceful life. She died May 4, 1863, at her sister's home in Worcester. Mrs. Mary Bacon Hancock Grosvenor was born in Barre. Mass., February 11, 1817. She was married to Joseph Williston Grosvenor in Barre, April 26, 1835, and at the age of twenty was left a widow with two sons to rear and educate. Her courage and her independence enabled her to triumph over the difficulties of the situation. She accepted a position as teacher of Drawing and Painting at Leicester Academy, which she held for two or three years. In 1852 she became connected with the Oread in the same capacity, remaining there until the close of the year i854. ::: At some time previous to i860 she opened a school of Art and Design in Providence, R. I., the school continuing several years. On September 20, 1864, she was married to Mr. Edwin Woods of Barre, and for the past forty years has resided in her native town, having been one :: For a picture of Mrs. Grosvenor, see page 26. 3 34 Oread Collegiate Institute of the leading spirits there in social life and in religions and philanthropic work. At her hospitable home have been enter- tained many distinguished strangers who have visited the town. Until within five or six years she continued to follow her art of painting for the love of it. She has been a widow for about twenty-five years. Her Oread pupils of long ago rejoice to learn that she is now enjoying a sunny old age, with good health and faculties well preserved. Address : Mrs. Mary H. Woods, Barre, Mass. Mr. E. T. Martin came to the Oread in 1852 as a teacher of Penmanship, remaining probably three or four years. He died many years ago in Worcester, where his whole life was spent. Professor F. C. Misner came to the Oread Institute in 1852 as teacher of Latin, French and German. He was a native German, and an excellent instructor. He left the Oread in 1857, and removed to Iowa, carrying with him the high respect and warm regard of many classes of pupils, who still remember him as a bright and sunny part of their Oread life. The following was given by one of the graduates of the Oread in the class of 1854, as part of a response to a toast at the Reunion of 1903 : "Who does not remember Professor Misner, our teacher of languages in the early fifties ! Tall and thin, with a very high forehead, and large eyes, in fact language was written all over his face. He was too amiable to be a good disciplinarian, and sometimes when the young ladies troubled him by looking out of the window, he would say, 'Come, come, la curiosite est au genre feminin!' evidently thinking he had given a most crush- ing shot ! "He spoke so many different languages that he sometimes got them mixed, as when he tried to bring his too talkative and digressive class back to business by saying, 'Come, come, perge, we must necessarily proceed,' spoken with his decidedly nasal twang. But he was a great linguist, from whom one could learn much if studious and attentive." Teachers from 1849-1859 35 Another of his pupils writes: "We had a very fine Latin teacher, Professor Misner, who always spoke Latin in the class, and insisted upon our doing the same. He was educated at Belgium University, where, he said, Latin was the only lan- guage used throughout the course." Mrs. Rachel Blanchard Poole was born May 12, 1817, in Weymouth, Mass., the daughter of Cyrus and Rachel (Hawes) Blanchard. Her grandmother Hawes was Sarah White from Hingham. All her ancestors were Xew England people. One of them, ! >egory Priest, belonged to the Mayflower colony of Plymouth. Another, Thomas Blanchard, was the first of that name who settled in Xew England. He came to Braintree, Mass., in 1639, having been driven from France to Eng- land because of Huguenot princi- ples. An ancestor, also named Thomas, was burned at the stake in Rouen as a martyr. Rachel Blanchard's mother, a woman of strong and noble char- acter, was left a widow with three children when Rachel, the eldest, was quite young. Rachel began to teach when less than sixteen years old, and a little later she and her two sisters were students at Mt. Holyoke Seminar)-, .in Mary Lyon's time. It is thought by surviving relatives that when she had completed her studies she remained at the semi- nar)' awhile as a teacher. Rachel Blanchard, in her maturity, had a fine physique, a commanding presence, and is remembered by those now living who knew her, as a stately, dignified and beautiful woman, and a favorite with the younger members of the family. < >n Xovember 5, 1837, at the age of twenty, she was married to Joseph Warren Poole, also of Weymouth, and one son was born to them about 1841. Her husband died in June, 1843, and Mrs. Poole soon returned to her profession, entering Charles- town Seminary in 1845 as teacher of Rhetoric, Latin and other studies. She probably remained there until the summer of 1851. 36 Oread Collegiate Institute Mrs. Poole came to the Oread Institute as its third Precep- tress, in the autumn of 185 1, immediately succeeding her friend, Miss Frances H. Clark, who had also been with her at Charles- town Seminary. Although she filled her position at the Oread most satisfactorily she remained one term only, and was suc- ceeded by Mrs. Curtis. Mrs. Poole was married again April 18, 1854, to Deacon Abner P. Nash, formerly of Weymouth, and then residing in Boston, being one of Boston's prominent merchants. She died very suddenly on March 25, 1859. Deacon Nash lived until August 27. 1892. Mrs. Poole's only son, Edward Everett Poole, also survived his mother. He was a graduate of Phillips Academy. He was married to Miss Jennie Fogg, and was for a number of years employed by the firm of Fogg Brothers & Co., bankers and brokers. His home was in Boston. He died April 11, 1902, leaving no children. Hamilton Barclay Staples was born in Mendon, Mass., February 14, 1829. Fie prepared for college at Worcester Academy, and was graduated from Brown University in 1851, taking the Latin Salutatory. He was admitted to the bar in 1854, and first practiced law in Milford, but in 1869 went to Worcester and practiced there until 1881, when he was appointed Judge of the Superior Court. He was twice mar- ried ; first, to Mrs. Elizabeth A. Godfrey of Mendon, and, in 1868, to Miss Mary Clinton Dewey of Northampton. He held the office of District Attorney for seven years before being appointed Judge. He was a member of the Antiquarian Society of Worcester, a Trustee of the City Hospital, and a member of the Common Council, lie held the office of Judge until the time of his death, August 2, 1891. Mr. Staples began teaching at the Oread in the fall of 1853, having classes in Rhetoric, Logic and English Literature. The surviving members of his class in Kane's Elements of Criticism, in 1854, hear willing testimony to his worth as a teacher, to the intellectual stimulus they received from him, and to their delightful recollections of pleasant recitations around the large, square table in his class-room. Mr. Staples' connection with the school closed, probably, in December, 1854. Teachers from 1849-1859 37 Professor J. W. Taverner, whose name is found in the catalogue of the school for 1850, was an Englishman who traveled about the country spending a few days each at many different seminaries of learning and giving a course of lectures and exercises in Elocution. During his stay at the Oread all class-room work was given up for a few days and the time wholly devoted to Elocution. This was in the latter part of January, 1856. Franziska Wilhelmine Vagt was born in Bremen, Ger- many, where she received her education. She was connected with the Oread Institute as teacher of German from 1851 until her marriage to Captain Ezra Fitch of Worcester. After Captain Fitch's death in [864, she taught at the Oread awhile, then went to Troy, X. Y., and taught French and ( rerman in the Troy Female Semi- nar}- under Mrs. John Willard until 1872, when it was closed as a board- ing school. In 1873 she returned to the Oread a second time and taught French and German there until she established her own school for young ladies in Worcester. This school was continued till 1894. Since then she has made several educational visits with young ladies to her native land and to France. She now lives with her daughter, .Mrs. John Magee, nee Mellie Fitch, an Oread pupil of 1873. Address: Mrs. Minna V. Fitch. Duxburv, Mass. George Nelson Webber was born in Pomfret, Conn., August 27, 1826, of Dutch and English parentage. He pre- pared for college at Woodstock ( Conn. ) Academy, and at Worcester Academy, and was graduated at Amherst College in 1852. He taught one year, 1852-53. at the < )read, the instruc- tion of the first senior class in that institution devolving almost wholly upon him and the Principal. This class consisted of S3167G 33 Oread Collegiate Institute ten or twelve young ladies, two of whom completed the full course in 1854, and Mr. Webber was their Instructor in Mental and Moral Philosophy, and cognate studies. Upon leaving the Oread, Mr. Webber entered Andover Theological Seminary. He was Tutor at Amherst College for one year, was ordained and installed pastor of the South Congregational Church of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, in 1855, and later was pastor of the North Congregational Church of Hartford, Conn., becoming after- wards pastor of a church in Lowell, Mass. In 1867 Mr. Webber became Professor of Mental and Moral Phil- osophy at Middlebury College, and in 1874 he became pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Troy, N. Y. He retired from this pas- torate on account of illness in 1883, and has since resided in Northampton, Mass. Here he was for eight years Instructor of the Senior class in Smith College, and gave lectures on Ethics and Evidences of Christianity. He preached often, also, in the neighboring churches. Address : Northampton, Mass. OREAD PUPILS FROM 1849 TO 1859 GRADUATES DURING the first ten years of the Oread's history, there were four graduating classes — those of 1854, 1855, 1856 and 1857.. and in these four classes there were twelve graduates. This small number of graduates, as compared with the large registration of the school, was due to the high standard set by Mr. Thayer, and the fact that in those early days parents sent their daughters away for only a year or two of schooling, — not long enough in most cases to enable them to take the full course required for an Oread degree. The biographies of the twelve graduates follow : CLASS OF 1854 Ellen Bullard was the daughter of Elias and Betsy (Howe) Bullard of Petersham, Mass. After her graduation she taught school for a few months, and, in 1858. was married to A. R. Owen of Belchertov.n, Mass. She died in Belchertown twenty years later. "Her entire unselfishness, her faithfulness to all life's duties, her never failing interest in, and regard for, her friends, her quiet beaut}" and patience, and loving thought for others, made her home life a blessing to all who came within its influence." Sarah Jane Wheelock, daughter of Daniel and Susan Pratt (Prentice) Wheelock, was born May 8, 1832. in Smith- field. R. I. She entered the Oread in 185 1 and was graduated in 1854. The following year she taught in a High School in Portsmouth. Ohio. On June 25, 1855, she was married at 4° Oread Collegiate Institute Portsmouth to Samuel D. Hickok, a merchant and manufac- turer of that place. He was a nephew of Rev. Laurens P. Hickok, for several years President of Union College. They had one child: Esther May Hickok, born in Brooklyn, N. Y., May 5, 1872, who was married May 8, 1895, to Robert Johnston. Mrs. Hickok has been interested in various charitable enterprises, and has written an occasional news- paper article, and several papers delivered before the Woman's Club of Westfield, X. J. Of her ancestors she writes : "Jerome Wheelock, the famous in- ventor and manufacturer of steam engines, was my brother. I am a descendant of Ralph Wheelock, who was born in Shropshire, England, in 1600, and educated at Clare Hall, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1626. He was a fellow stu- dent of John Eliot and probably a descendant of Hugh de Whelock, who in the reign of Henry 11 received from Roger Mainwaring a title to all of the latter's claim to the village of Whelock in Cheshire County. He was a dissenting minister and, be- ing persecuted for non-conformity, he, with sixty graduates from Ox- ford and Cambridge, came from England and settled in the vicinity of Cambridge, Mass. In [638 he moved to Dedham, where a tract of land was assigned him. Mis is the tenth name signed to "Ded- ham Covenant" (constitution of die town). In 1044 die first free school supported by a town tax in Massachusetts was started, and Ralph Wheelock was the first teacher.

Address: Mrs. S. D. Hickok, 42 Clark St., Westfield, X. J. CLASS OF 1855 Lydia Hooper Blackler, born in Marblehead, Mass., a member of the historic Hooper family, entered the < >read in [852. After graduation she taught for a year at the Oread, spent some two years or more with relatives in Boston, and then joined a married sister in Portland, Ore- gon, where she was induced to take a position as teacher in St. Helen's Hall. She remained there fourteen years. Later she taught for four years in Mills College. California, enjoying the work, for which she was eminently fitted. After spending some time abroad, in visiting friends who were resid- ing in Europe, and in travel, Miss Blackler returned to the Pacific coast, where, with her two sisters, she now resides, blessed with good health and the capacity for enjoying all that is best in the world. Address: 1010 Franklin St., Olympia, Wash. Sarah Bray Roundey of Marblehead. Mass., was married soon after leaving the Oread, and died the following year. She was a fine scholar and had a charming personality. Her early death was deplored by all who knew her. 42 Oread Collegiate Institute JULIET WARNER. SARAH ROUNDEY, '55. LYDJA BLACKLER, '55.

Pupils from 1849-1859 43 Rosalinda Healy Palmer, eldest daughter of Samuel rainier, a Methodist minister of Woodstock, Conn., and his wife, Eleanor (Howard) Palmer, a native of Lancashire, Eng- land, was horn April 24, 1835, at Ware, Mass., where her father ' & ggrV 1 » . %. 1855. 1861. was stationed at that time. She early evinced a love of study and a desire to obtain an education, learning the Latin Grammar while working daily to earn her own livelihood. 1866. 1867. She entered the Oread as a pupil in 1853, assuming at the same time the duties of Registrar. She was graduated in [855 as Valedictorian of her class. 44 Oread Collegiate Institute After her graduation, studying' and teaching" filled the years of her short life. She taught for a year at the Oread, and for a year in Virginia ; afterwards at the Military School for hoys ' at Yonkers on the Hudson ; at Air. Wiener's Jewish School in New York ; at Miss Greene's "Fifth Avenue School for Young Ladies" ; and at Dr. West's School on Brooklyn Heights. It was while at the latter that her health failed, obliging her to abandon class-room work, although she had some private classes after that. By studying constantly while teaching, in 1867 she was grad- uated from Cooper Institute, Xew York, and received the Bronze Medal, being the first woman to achieve that honor. She was the eldest of eight children, five of whom lived to mature years. Her sisters speak gratefully of her devotion to her family and to them, in assisting them to obtain an education and inspiring them with her courage and high ideals. While in New York she was a member of the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Church, in which she was an active worker, and a Sunday School teacher. The more active duties and occu- pations of her life prevented her from attempting much purely literary work. An occasional article for the Xew York Inde- pendent, or a short poem for a magazine, were all for which she found time or opportunity. Rosalinda Palmer was a woman of great intellectual power and of unusual force of character. She was a student of rare scholarship, of great ambition and of unwearying industry. In her short life of thirty-four years she accomplished much. She died in Woodstock, Conn., September 4, 1869, and was buried in the quiet cemetery of that old town. CLASS OF 1856 Sophia Holland Arms, the youngest daughter of Aaron and Eliza (Hapgood) Arms, was born March 15, 1835.

Matthew Grant, Colonel in the Revolutionary War, Pupils from 1849-1859 45 and also a Member of Congress. Sophie was graduated from the Oread in 1856, having" been a pupil there for several years, during the time that her sister Elizabeth G. Arms was a teacher of the English branches at that institution. On October 7, 1863, she was married to Mr. Amory Bigelow of Chicago, and had four children : Bessie Hapgood, Arthur, Charles, and Robert Amory. The Chicago fire of 1873 was a crushing blow to Mr. Bigelow, but nothing- daunted, he started again in the commission business, and did well until his health failed, when he gave up business and returned to his childhood's home, where he died. May 4, 1901. Address: Mrs. Sophia Arms Bigelow, Beverly, X. J. SOPHIA ARMS SARAH ROUNDEV, 55. Eliza A. Clarke, daughter of John and Jane ( La Du ) Clarke, was born in Phelps, X. Y., October 24, 1836, and was graduated from the Oread in 1856, as Valedictorian of her class. Before going to the Oread she had been a teacher at the Vienna (now Phelps, X. Y.) Classical School, which has numbered among its pupils some of the best scholars in the state. It has been said of her that she took rank with the best scholars and educators in the various institutions where she was known, and was always a most persistent Christian worker. She became Preceptress of the Classical School at Phelps, upon her graduation from the Oread, and afterwards taught at Cold Springs on the Hudson. Later she was appointed to the respon- sible position of Preceptress of Cazenovia Seminary. She was married, September 14, 1864, to Samuel Johnson of Dowagiac, Mich., a professor in Michigan Agricultural College. They had two daughters: Alice A., born in ( )ctober. 1865, and Clara, born in August, 1870, both at Dowagiac. They were educated at Michigan Agricultural College. Mrs. Johnson was for many years President of the Library Association of Dowa"iac, in which office she won the confidence 46 Oread Collegiate Institute of all who were associated with her. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church from 1853 till her death, which occurred April 1, 1874. Mary Frances Gilman was graduated from the Oread July 2, 1856. She was born in Lowell, Mass., July 6, 1835, an d lived there until 1845. when the family moved to Nashua, N. H. Her father was Mark Seavey Gilman, and her mother Hannah Flint Estey. Her father was de- scended, in the fifth generation, from John Gilman of Hingham, England, who came to this country in 1638. and lived for a few years in [pswich, and, sometime near 1648, settled at Exeter, N. H. In 1680, when New Hampshire was separated from. Massachusetts, John Gilman was appointed Coun- cillor, and continued in office three years. He was also a member of the House of Representatives, and in 1693 was elected Speaker of the House. It was to his descendants principally that the town of Gil- manton was granted in 1727, for services rendered in defence of their country; but while they were proprietors, they mostly continued to reside at Exeter. In 1757 his grandson, John Gilman, was a Major at Fort Edwards, and was sent to Fort William Henry with reinforce- ments. Arriving just after the capitulation, he was captured by General Montcalm's savage Indian allies, and with great difficulty escaped. He was the owner of slaves in Exeter, and one of them had a son.

Her husband was a member of the linn <>\ Peirce & Bacon, who were largely interested in southern products, especially those from Texas. The firm received large supplies of cotton brought in their packets, which were sold to manufactories in New England, and at times forwarded to Enefland. After the Civil War the firm Pupils from 1849 1859 47 was dissolved, and in 1868., Mr. Peirce was elected General Manager of the South Pacific Railway. lie then took his family to St. Louis, where, under his management, 340 miles of railroad was built through a wild country. In 1872 he was elected President and General Manager of the Atlantic and Pacific Railway, into which the South Pacific had been merged. After finishing the road to Yinita, Indian Territory, it was not deemed expedient to extend it at that time, on account of finan- cial pressure. So he removed to Xew York to attend to the financial affairs of the company. The name was changed to St. Louis and San Francisco Railway, as the Atlantic and Pacific charter enabled them to connect with any road which might lead to San Francisco. He continued as General Manager and President until July, 1877, when he resigned and came to Clifton Springs. X. Y., where he had previously taken his family on account of his wife's health. While there he hecame interested in making improvements at the Sanitarium. He appreciated the fact that Dr. Henry Foster Avas doing a wonderful work for afflicted humanity, and he gave two years of his time and energy, and fifteen thousand dollars for much needed improvements, in filling in and grading the grounds, setting out shrubs and trees, and building a pavilion over the largest sulphur springs. There they passed fourteen very happy years. At that time there was an excellent Seminary there for the daughters. They were born in Boston : Elizabeth Gilman on December 9, 1864; Clara Louisa, on May 8, 1866. After attending school at Clifton Springs they were a year at Rochester and two years in Boston. Clara was married to Washington Wilson November 8. 1891. and went to Metuchen to live. Elizabeth was married to Jesse Taylor Jackson of Metuchen, where they live. Mr. Peirce passed away December 19. 1891, but still lives in the hearts of very many who bless his name. Address: Mrs. Mary Frances Peirce, Clifton Springs. X. Y. 48 Oread Collegiate Institute Maria Goodrich was born at Ware, Mass., July 31, 1837, and died at Cambridge, Mass., on March 1, 1895. The follow- ing sketch of her life has been contributed by her son, William Goodrich Thompson. "She was the fifth child of Horace and Elizabeth (Dickinson) Goodrich. Horace Goodrich was a physician, a graduate of Yale College in the class of 18 14, and a lineal descendant, in the sixth generation, of William Goodrich, who, in 1643, came from the village of Goodrich, Wales, and settled in Wethersfield, Conn. Horace Goodrich's parents were Josiah and Abigail ( WOlcott) Goodrich, of Berlin, Conn. "Elizabeth Dickinson was the daughter of William and Dorothy (Warner) Dickinson, of Hadley, Mass. William Dickinson was a lineal descendant of Nathaniel Dickinson, who in 1030 came to Salem with Winthrop in the Arabella. "Maria Goodrich graduated from the Oread in 1856. On May 14, 1862, at East Winsor Hill, Conn., where her family then lived, she was married to Charles Oliver Thompson, the oldest son of Rev. William and Eliza ( Butler) Thompson, who also lived at East Winsor Hill. Rev. William Thompson was professor of Hebrew in the theological seminary which was afterwards removed to Hartford, Conn., and is now known as the Hartford Theological Seminary. Charles Oliver Thompson was a graduate of Dartmouth College, in the class of 1858. He later received from that College the honorary degree of Doctor of Philosophy. "( )f this marriage there were four children, whose names are: William Goodrich, born at Peacham, Yt., November 16. [864, now of Cambridge, Mass., graduated from Harvard College in lXXX, and from the Harvard Eaw School in 1891; Lewis Sabin, born at Templeton, Mass., October 31, 1868, now of Hingham, Mass., graduated from Harvard College in [892, and from the Harvard Law School in 1895 ; Charles Horace, born at Worcester, Mass., August 3, [872, died at Worcester, Mass., April 24. 1873: Katharine Maria, born at Worcester, Mass.. July 12, 1874, now of Cambridge, Mass.. graduated from Radcliffe College in [896. "At the time of his marriage my father was Principal of the Academy in Peacham, \ t.. and the first two years of my mother's married life were spent there. In [864 my father Pupils from 1849-1859 49 became Principal of the Cotting High School in Arlington, Mass., and lived there until 1868, when he was appointed first Principal of the Worcester Polytechnic School at Worcester, Mass., then known as the Worcester Free Institute of Indus- trial Science. To prepare for organizing and starting this school, which was one of the first, if not the first of its kind in the country, my lather spent seven months in Europe, study- ing methods of technical education. During this time my mother was with her uncle, the Rev. Lewis Sabin of Temple- ton, Mass. ; and there her second son. Lewis, was born on the morning of his father's home coming from Europe. "From the autumn of 1869 until the summer of 1882, the family lived in Worcester. My mother's interest in her hus- band's work as Principal of the Polytechnic School was deep and intelligent. In the midst of household cares, she still found time for reading and reflection, and ever kept in touch with the larger interests of life. She was happy in the knowledge that her sympathy and encouragement were contributing to the success of the important experiment in education which her husband was conducting in Worcester. Every paper, I think, written by him on the subject of technical education and pub- lished, or delivered as an address, was, in the first instance, read by her. Her criticism and suggestions were always valuable. "In 1882 my father resigned his position as Principal of the Worcester Polytechnic School to become the first President of the Rose Polytechnic School at Terre Haute, Ind. Before going to live in Terre Haute, my father and mother spent several months in Europe. This was my mother's first experi- ence of foreign travel, and those months were undoubtedly the happiest of her life. The family moved to Terre Haute in February, 1883. My father's work there in organizing the new school was absorbing and successful. "On March 17, 1885, my father died at Terre Haute of an acute attack of rheumatic fever. From this bereavement my mother never recovered. Her native courage, it is true, remained unbroken ; her religious faith did not fail her ; but for her the joy of life had gone forever. In the summer of 1885, in fulfilment of a plan made with her husband after it was known that he could not recover, she came with her 50 Oread Collegiate Institute children to Cambridge. Her life here was retired and, in the main, uneventful. Her only strong interest was in the educa- tion and welfare of her children. In the last week of February, 1895, she caught a severe cold, and died of pneumonia on the first day of March. "Only her husband and her children might know the depths of her tenderness and her love. Others knew her as a woman in manner graceful, though reserved; in judgment deliberate and sound; with a singularly clear sense of justice; and with that unmistakable serenity which comes from faith in a personal God." Angeline Elizabeth Holbrook was born in Grafton, Mass., October 28, 1835. Her father being a strong abolition- ist, and an admirer of the Grimke sisters — who w T ere among the first in the South to liberate their slaves — gave her the name of the younger, Angelina or Angeline.* Her father, William Holbrook, and her mother, Adeline Pratt, were descended from the strictest Puritan ancestry, and she was trained religiously and morally according to the custom of those days. In her girlhood she attended the com- mon school, and later the high school, from which she entered the Oread in 1853. On account of ill health she was obliged to leave before the close of the year, but returned the following year and was graduated in the class of 1856. After spending a few months at home, she was married to George M. Smith of Walpole, Mass., April 13, 1857. They went directly to Wisconsin, which was then in the far West, and Mr. Smith established himself in the bonk and stationery business in the city of Appleton, whose existence then dated back but a few years. Already a flourishing university had been founded here through the beneficence of the Appletons and Lawrences of Boston. Now, many of the brightest minds *The Grimke sisters were daughters of Judge Grimke of the Supreme Court of South Carolina. In [828 they joined the Society of Friends in Philadelphia. Although they had owned slaves who came to them by inheritance, their repugnance to slavery was so strong that in 1830 they began lecturing againsl it — and their addresses had great inllnence in New York and New England. This controversy was the beginning of the Woman's Ri^ht^ agitation in this country. Pupils from 1849-1859 51 of the Middle West claim Lawrence University as their Alma Mater. Mr. and Mrs. Smith soon became interested in the growth and prosperity of the city and it was their home for nine years. After passing a year or more in the towns of Berlin and Ripon in the same state, and one year in southern New Jersey, they returned to Boston, where they have since lived, Mr. Smith being engaged in the publication of books sold by subscription. They have had no children. Airs. Smith's work has been wholly in the home, and her life a busy one, caring for the many who have come under their roof-tree. Address: Airs. George M.

C, at the hreaking out of the Civil War in 1861. Her strong Union sympathies made her a marked personage and rendered it unsafe for her to remain in the South. Her friends being nomi- nally Unionists and of some influence she was tolerated as she would not have been under other circumstances. But she delayed coming North too long to be able to do so through the coast states. She was obliged to cross the mountains, escaping through Tennessee and Kentucky into Ohio by means of various subterfuges, one being a kind of "underground rail- way," arranged and executed by the relatives of those with whom she had been staying. The fact that she was a woman served her in good stead, in ward- ing off the suspicions that a man would have incurred and which would have caused most serious delays in her progress into Ohio. In Akron she found relatives and remained with them for a while to recover from the effects of the exciting and perilous journey. At Northbridge, on June 3, 1869, she was married to George W. Livermore, a clerk, and later a den- tist. He was also a skillful taxi- dermist.

There was a great deal of wooded land near by, and it was altogether an ideal place for such an outing.

She also wrote several plays, songs and poems, "Bridget's Story," written in 1874, being prominent among these. This work was a repetition, on a larger scale, of what she did at the Oread in her younger days, when she contributed to the J 'oicc, an Oread publication, and wrote a romance for the school. Mrs. Perkins died in Xew York City, March 30, 1875, an d on April 2 funeral services were conducted at Packer Institute, and also in Norwich, Conn.

Eliza Jane Whittemore was born in Worcester, July 30, 1836, the daughter of Charles Whittemore and Jane Barnes Allen, his wife. The Whittemores came from England, and were among the earliest settlers of Leicester, Mass. They trace an unbroken family line to the time of the Norman inva- sion under William the Conqueror. The first ancestor of Jane Barnes Allen in this country, her grand- father, John Allen, came to Ply- mouth, Mass., where he married a wife of French descent, by whom he had two sons. Leaving home on a foreign voyage, he was so long gone he was given up as lost, and duly mourned by his family. After a while his wife, believing herself a widow, was induced to marry again — and then, like Enoch Arden, John Allen returned to find his place filled by another, a wealthy shipowner of Plymouth. The presents he had brought for wife and children he sent to them from Boston, then took ship again, and sailed away, 13' Oread Collegiate Institute and never more was seen in his own land. When his wife that was, then Mrs. Stephens, knew that he was alive and had returned and gone again, she shut herself in her chamber and would see no one for many weeks. Eliza J. Whittemore entered the Oread in 1852. On October 11, 1856, she was married to Horace Lasselle, a physician, who died January 10, 1863. A son, Charles, was born of this marriage, June 13, 1858.

Elizabeth Willard, who came to the Oread from Peters- ham about 1854, married Rev. William Barry, a Unitarian min- ister, settled successively in Framingham, Lowell and Chicago. Mrs. Barry spent the latter part of her life with her daughter in Chicago. She died eight or ten years ago. Mary Gates Willard came to the Oread from Still River, Mass., in the very early fifties. She was born in Still River, May 9, 1835, an d was the daughter of Luther and Mary (Davis) Willard. Miss Willard was an invalid all her life, being confined to her bed for over thirty years. During the last part of her life her health was somewhat improved and she was able to be about the house and sometimes take short drives. She died February 19, 1901, in Still River, in the same house in which she was born and had alwavs lived. Ellen Louise Williams was born in llolden, Mass., in 1837, and was the only child of Air. and Mrs. Albert C. Williams, both Pupils from 1849-1859 139 of whom were natives of Sutton. Her father was in early life a machinist, then a manufacturer of cotton cloth. After- wards he became interested in coal oil (when oil was first extracted from coal), and later, when oil-wells were found, spent much of his time in the oil-fields of Ohio. Her mother was a direct descendant of the McClellans of Sutton, Mass. Miss Williams attended the Oread from 1853 to 1855. She was married in Ohio in i860 to William H. Fairbanks of Holden, whose grandfather, Jonathan, was a direct descendant of Jonathan Fairbanks of Dedham, Mass. Mrs. Fairbanks has lived all her life on the old Fairbanks homestead in Holden, where her four children were born. Allele Louise, born in 1861, graduated from the Worcester High School and afterwards attended Miss Ava Williams' school in Worcester. She married Charles A. Vaughan of W< ircester in 1894, and has two children, George Fairbanks and Margaret. Mrs. Fairbanks' second daughter, Jennie M., born in 1865, graduated from the Worcester High School and the Worcester State Normal School. Edward E., born in 1867, was educated in Holden, and is now a dealer in oils in Worces- ter. W. Grout, who was born in 1874, died in 1898. Mr. Fairbanks was an invalid for many years and died in 1890. Address : Mrs. Ellen W. Fairbanks. Holden, Mass. Louise Holman Wood was born in Fitchburg, Mass., July 14, 1834. Her father, Nathaniel Wood, of Holden, Mass., was at that time a lawyer in Fitchburg. He had married Louisa Holman of Bolton, whose father was in active service during the War of the Revolution. Louise, their only child, was at the Oread in its early years, leaving in 1852. On May 2, 1861, she was married in Fitchburg to James R. Wellman. a physi- cian, who died some years ago. Mrs. Wellman has been especially interested in the Baldwins- ville Hospital Cottages for Children, the Shut-in Society (the first organization of that name and purpose), the local charities of Fitchburg, and other benevolent associations. Address: Mrs. Louise H. Wellman, 33 Adams St.. Fitch- burg, Mass. 140 Oread Collegiate Institute Central Falls, R. I. Sarah Frances Wood was the daughter of Joseph and Phila Thayer (Freeman) Wood, and was born June 25, 1841, in A town in Massachusetts, Woodville, bears her father's name. Her mother was a cousin of Eli Thayer, the founder of the Oread. She came to the Oread in 1851, when only ten years of age, under the especial care of Miss Rebecca Capron, then teacher of Music there, and remained in that institution for several years. After leaving the Oread she con- tinued her studies, graduating from the Young Ladies High School in Providence, R. I., and remained afterwards at home until her mar- riage, August 12, 1868, to Rev. Joseph Ward, a graduate of Phillips Academy (Andover), Brown University, and Andover Theological Seminary. The same year Mr. Ward was sent out by the Congregational Home Missionary Society as the first missionary to Dakota, then an undeveloped territory, contain- ing a comparatively small number of widely scattered pioneer settlers. For several years his parish was the whole of this territory. As Dakota rapidly de- _______ veloped and increased in popu- lation, Mr. and Mrs. Ward found thrust upon them, not only the vast labor of the establishment and development of Congregational churches in the state in number proportionate to its rapid growth, but also the leadership in educa- tional matters. Mr. Ward was the founder and first President of Yankton College, and helped to establish the public school system of the state. He was also deeply interested in Dakota's political life, and was a member of the first Constitutional Convention. Their splendid work in Dakota has made the names of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ward among the Pupils from 1849- 1859 141 most prominent in American Missionary history. In the course of his ministry Mr. Ward received the honorary degree of D.D. Mrs. Ward has five children, all born in Yankton : Ethel Tufts, born July 15, 1873, was married at Yankton, December 25, 1893, to the second son of Rev. W. B. D. Gray, at present Joint Superintendent of the State of Wyoming for the Sunday School and Publishing Society, and the Congregational Home Missionary Society; Donald Butler, born October 1, 1876, is a graduate of the Boston University Law School ; Freeman, born August 9, 1879, was graduated at Yale in the class of 1903, and is now an Assistant in Geology at Yale ; Sheldon, born March 27, 1882, was a student at Yale in the class of 1906 for one year, and is now in business at Yankton ; Margaret H., born July 14, 1885, is a student at Xorthfield Seminary. Mr. Ward died December 11, 1889. Since his death Mrs. Ward has been pastor of a small Home Missionary Church, has assisted in raising funds for Yankton College, and has been Matron at Hillside Cottage, Northfield Seminary, East North- field, Mass. She has written for missionary magazines. Address: Mrs. Joseph Ward. 912 Mulberry St., Yankton, So. Dak. Emeline A. Woodbury was born in Sutton, Mass., October 8, 1837, and was the daughter of Leonard and Emeline (Pratt) Woodbury. She entered the Oread in 1849. Since leaving school, in 185 1, she has lived most of the time in Anoka, Minn., having moved there in 1854. She lived for a short time in Ottumwa, Iowa. In Anoka, January 6, 1855, she was married to Daniel I. King, a carpenter. Their only child, Katherine A. King, is a teacher in the Duluth Public Schools. Address : Mrs. Daniel I. King, Anoka, Minn. Emily Woodcock was born in Leicester, Mass., February 2, 1832, and was the daughter of Josephus and Catherine S. (Davis) Woodcock. She was a pupil at the Oread in 1854. Most of her life was passed in her native town, where she took part in the charitable work conducted by the First Con- gregational Church. She was interested in Art. and herself an artist of good ability. She died in Worcester, March 13, 1899. 142 Oread Collegiate Institute Maria Woodcock, cousin of Emily, was the daughter of Lucius Woodcock of Leicester, Mass., and his wife, Sarah C. White, of Ware, Mass. She was born in Leicester, June 6, 1837, and attended the Oread in 1854. She died in Leicester, December 1, 1859. Elizabeth Workman, a daughter of Dr. Workman, at that time a well-known physician of Worcester, was a student at the Oread in 1854. She subsequently married a physician, Dr. McPherson. They resided for a time in New Jersey. Mrs. McPherson was for many years a widow, and on account of her ill health made her home in Pasadena, Cal., where, early in 1903, she died, leaving no children. Sarah M. Works came to the Oread from Southboro, Mass., in 1856, was married to Charles P. Mixer of South Framing- ham, Mass., and died in 1897. DR. PATTISON'S ADMINISTRATION 18J9 TO 1864 THE next Principal of the school was Rev. Dr. Robert E. Pattison, who succeeded Miss Dodge in 1859. He was an experienced teacher and administrator, having been Professor of Mathematics at, and for six years President of, Waterville College, now Colby University. He had also held responsible positions in the Western Baptist and Newton Theo- logical Seminaries, and was for three years President of the former. Dr. Pattison said, in his prospectus of the school, that for the formation of character he "relied largely on the influences of a pleasant home." That he succeeded wonderfully well in carrying out this attractive ideal for his school is borne witness to by his pupils, none of whom fails to hold the dear old Doctor in loving memory. One of them says, "Dr. Pattison had a remarkable way of making the girls feel that the school was as like as possible to one large and happy family. The pupils never felt the restraint of irksome rules, and he used to win the immediate allegiance of all new-comers into his school by the kindly way in which he told them that he should hold them strictly to only one rule, and that was, 'Don't be homesick.' But though in many ways Dr. Pattison was like an indulgent father to us, he did not spoil us, and when we went out of bounds one look out of his keen eagle eye, and his, 'Young ladies, young ladies, I cannot allow it,' was enough to bring us at once to ourselves. "The Oread in those days was literally as well as in its spirit a home school, for with very few exceptions our teachers were Dr. Pattison's sons and daughters, and Mrs. Pattison was our Matron. Miss Fannie and Miss Ettie were so near our own age that they seemed like friends rather than superiors. They were bright, attractive and companionable girls, but very unlike. Miss Fannie was of a mild, gentle, and somewhat retir- 144 Oread Collegiate Institute ing disposition, while Miss Ettie was witty, lively and quick at repartee. Miss Fannie taught painting, music and a little Latin, Miss Ettie, English. Dr. Pattison and Mr. Everett Patti- son taught the Academic branches, and William Pattison, the youngest son of the family, who was a pupil at the Oread dur- ing the first two or three years, later gave lessons in painting there. Well known and beloved by the girls, though she did not have an active part in the school duties, was Mrs. Binney, Dr. Pattison's sister, formerly a missionary to the Karens in Burmah, but at that time living quietly in Dr. Pattison's family with her son Henry. The latter was of about the same age as William Pattison and, like him, was being educated under the guidance of Dr. Pattison.* Two other noble women whom the earliest pupils of Dr. Pattison hold in grateful memory were Mrs. Westbrook, mother of Hattie and Maria Westbrook (pages 133, 134), and Mrs. Dauble. The former was boarding at the Oread while her daughters were being educated there, and she was mother and sunshine and comfort to us all. Mrs. Dauble was a beautiful Christian woman, who had been a missionary (see page 29), and was Matron for one year under Miss Dodge, and one year under Dr. Pattison. "The religious and moral influence of this school-home was all the stronger in that we felt no compulsion, only the silent influence of the upright and lovable characters that surrounded us. "In order to make his ideal of a family school more sure of attainment Dr. Pattison limited the number of boarding pupils to twenty-five, and there were about as many more day pupils from the city. The total number of pupils enrolled in the catalogue of i860 was thirty-seven, in that of 1862 forty-two, in that of 1862-63 fifty-one, and in that of 1863-64 sixty-one. As * "No account of Dr. Pattison's family would be complete without a reference to Maggie, the jolly, good-natured Irish cook, who always had something good to eat to offer us whenever we passed through the kitchen. We all remember when Maggie was married and a number of us rose very early and went down to the Catholic Church to see the ceremony, only to find that she had deceived us about the time and had been married still earlier. We heard some years afterwards that her husband had become immensely wealthy by carrying out a suc- cessful scheme for filling in the Back Bay flats in Boston, and that Maggie was riding about in her own carriage." Dr. Pattison's Administration 145 may be seen, the Oread was at this time a comparatively small school, and this was one important cause of Dr. Pattison's success in creating- the simple homelike atmosphere, the impres- sion of unity and happiness, which made the life at the Oread during - these years so attractive, and which would have been impossible in a large school. "Dr. Pattison's administration covered the period of the Civil War, and the fact that, during those troublous times, he kept the school a calm and peaceful place, entirely free from the excitement that pervaded the outside world, pays a high compliment to his wisdom and ability. Our school life was not wholly untouched by the war influence. It diminished our corps of teachers, for in 1861 Mr. Everett Pattison left school to enter the army, and it enlarged our family, for during the first year of the war Mrs. Elizabeth Arms Wayland, a former Oread teacher, boarded at the school, while her husband was in the army as chaplain. Moreover, those of us who had relatives in the Worcester camp were allowed to visit our sol- dier friends if accompanied by teachers. But we were not allowed to read the war papers, though Dr. Pattison informed us of all the important battles, and in general the influence of the school was such as to prevent our caring to know more about it than that." Besides Dr. Pattison and his family, there were connected with the Oread, in the years 1859 to 1864, eight other teachers. Mile. Marie Bachmann, Mr. W. A. Greene and Professor Alfred Gaudelet successively filled the position of instructor in the Modern Languages. Mr. Otis C. Newcomb and Mr. Sea- bury W. Bowen successively taught the Sciences. Mr. Edward W. Hall was a teacher for part of the time in Physics, Latin and Gymnastics, while Mr. B. D. Allen, the well-known and beloved music teacher, who had already been connected for so many years with the school under the former administration, continued to give lessons in music to Oread pupils, and Mr. Thomas Edwards gave instruction in painting. But of these, only four. Mile. Bachmann, Mr. Newcomb, Mr. Bowen and Mr. Hall, were resident instructors. The others simply came to the school for their classes. These resident teachers entered into the home spirit of the school with readiness and sympathy. They are indelibly impressed on the memories of the Oreades 146 Oread Collegiate Institute of those days : Mr. Hall as a man active, practical and social ; Mr. Newcomb as the typical scholar, retiring and reticent, but none the less interested in all that went to make up the pleasant life of the school; Mr. Bowen as a teacher, pleasant, patient and courteous ; Mile. Bachmann, called by the girls "Madame Bachmann," as a bright, jolly, and rather stout little French- woman, always smiling, and always making the most amusing mistakes in her attempts to speak English. From 1859 to 1864 twenty-two young women received degrees from the Oread. There were seven graduates in the class of 1861, six in the class of 1862, one in the class of 1863, and eight in the class of 1864. In 1864 Dr. Pattison accepted a call to a professorship in Theology in Shurtleft" College, Upper Alton, 111., and was let go from the Oread with deep regret. Dr. Shepardson and Miss Packard succeeded him as Principals of the school. REMINISCENCES OF THE OREAD UNDER DR. PATTISON BY HELEN KENDRICK JOHNSON HOW delightful it is that the wave of memory-revival that has been passing over our nation, our states, and our birthplaces, has touched with its foam-crested ripple the life we Americans of the passing generation lived as students. The school-house beside the church presented to the eye the true sources from which the inward life and power have been drawn in this republic, and to gather up their lessons for our pleasure and the profit of our descendants is a grateful task. Among all the figures that rise at the bidding of my school- day memory none stands before me with a more gracious benediction than that of Dr. Robert E. Pattison, Principal of the Oread Institute. His tall form, slightly bent, but graceful and elegant in its movements, his dark hair, shaded with silver, his delicate features and small, firm lips, his grey eyes lighted always with intelligence and thought, but brimming with quiet mirthfulness that was contagious, all these come vividly to mind. Dr. Pattison was a friend to the young because he better under- stood how to put himself into their places than any man whom I recall. There was a genial tenderness of feeling that formed the background of a nature that was also notable for its unaffected learning and piety. These qualities made him a model teacher. He aroused interest, and his child-like spirit made the youngest pupil in his classes feel that her opinion would receive attention, and would be given its full weight. In our study of mental and moral philosophy the sessions were not so much recitations as they were discussions which brought deep things to light in the simplest and clearest manner. The bearing upon daily and practical life seemed to be always in Dr. Pattison's mind, and there was no suggestion of the 148 Oread Collegiate Institute abstruse or unknowable in his expositions. He was especially happy with illustration and incident that at once elucidated and fixed the meaning of the text. Dr. Pattison was an old-time scholar, and classic literature and poetic quotation came to his lips readily when the occa- sion permitted. Education in his conception was a broad and significant thing. The literary element was especially encour- aged in the Oread of that day. This distinction might seem superfluous in reference to an educational institution, but it has a definite meaning. There is an entire class of studies that were unheard of or unformulated then, and which drive out a great deal of the classic and the literary. Psychology and sociology were untaught even in college. Philosophy seems a new science, while the modern sciences have wrought a revolu- tion in thought and in the methods of its presentation. There is not time for all, nor human brain enough to hold it, and so the old standard classic and literary knowledge is pushed to one side to make room for the new-comer. This may be necessary, and it would be as idle as it would be ignorant to condemn the pres- ent, but there is great loss in this abandonment. Mind spoke to mind more easily through the strictly literary studies. Lan- guage, history, composition, recitation, class-reading, all these brought teacher and pupil together in a more natural intimacy than comes with the modern method of lecture and note-taking. There is in school to-day but little sauntering in the fields of thought. The automobile method of education is more in fashion, where the strained eye and tense action indicate that the flying traveler sees nothing of the landscape except a blurred impression of dancing trees and a whirling dust-cloud. In the days of which I am writing we journeyed not so much to get over the ground as to understand and enjoy the world we passed through, and the cultivated and literary taste of Dr. Pattison and his family made them guides to be highly prized. The school paper was made a feature of the curriculum. Sup- plementary reading and research were encouraged. The Bible was a valued text-book, and Sunday was a welcome day. Dr. Pattison selected pupils in turn to prepare brief studies in the Scripture for parlor reading. I remember the great pleasure I found, for instance, in writing a connected narrative of the resurrection of Christ, compiled from the gospel accounts. It Reminiscences of Dr. Pattison 149 has fixed on my memory a natural succession of those wondrous events. On Sabbath evenings we had social reunions in the drawing-room. There was music always, but we gathered in groups, sitting on footstools or even on the floor to get close together, and the whole tone of the conversation was cheerful and spontaneous. It was wholesome and sweet and sent us to our rooms in a happy frame of mind. One interesting memory of stated Sabbaths comes to mind. Dr. Pattison was invited by the authorities of the institution to preach to such members of the Hospital for the Insane as were able to attend divine service with any benefit. His words and manner would have held the attention of the simplest mind that could listen at all. I, with others, went with him to form a little choir, and it was a pathetic and pleasant task. Dim faces would light, and hopeless ones smile, while some showed full intelligence as to the themes presented. Dr. Pattison had clear ideas of discipline, and novel theories concerning it, some of which come to mind as I write. For instance — my most intimate friend, Clara Thayer, now Mrs. Perry, and I went one day to ask permission to go down town to do some errands. Dr. Pattison said, "Anybody else going?" "No, sir." we answered. "You'd better invite Esther," said he, smiling. "I have observed," he added, "that three girls have a quieter journey to town than two or four do. Two girls with their arms linked form an electric connection, but a trio somehow breaks the chain of mischief. Get Esther, and be off." Esther was "Essie" Davids, a beautiful girl, my roommate, and a favorite with all during those good years at the Oread. There was a delightful atmosphere of hominess in our school life. Mrs. Pattison was an ideal house-mother, always cheery and cordial ; and her parlor held a welcome for all girls, espe- cially the homesick. Dr. Pattison's daughters, Miss Fannie and Miss Ettie, as we knew them then, were among the noble women of the earth. They were both teachers and have left an indelible impression upon their scholars. They presented a great con- trast in appearance and in character, each having her own charm and her devoted band of adherents. I was fortunate enough to be taken as a roommate for one term by Miss Fannie. She shared to the full her father's literarv tastes. We read manv 150 Oread Collegiate Institute books together, and one incident of that time suggests the spirit that I have desired to portray. Miss Fannie had given me Hale's "Man Without a Country," to read, and I had become so absorbed in it that I failed to hear the bell for evening prayers. The quiet of the halls somehow aroused me and I rushed downstairs only in time to hear the closing hymn. Dr. Pattison followed me with his eye as I slipped into my seat. After chapel I went to him. To the rebuke in his eye I answered : "Oh, Dr. Pattison, have you read 'The Man Without a Country?' " "No, not yet," he answered. "Then don't scold me till you have," said I. "So that was it," he answered, smiling, and I felt forgiven. There was another resident of the building whose presence was a blessing to all within its walls. It was Mrs. Binney, sister of Dr. Pattison, and a returned missionary from Burmah. All that I had ever conceived of the life of one who had carried Christ's commission to distant lands, was fulfilled in this saintly and fascinating woman. Though she was a constant sufferer, her face never lost its genial smile, nor her voice its melodious sweetness. It was one of our great privileges to be able to carry her the wild flowers we gathered, to tell our small adven- tures, and listen to the wonderful story of her missionary life. OREAD TEACHERS FROM 18>9 TO 1864 DR. PATTISON AND HIS FAMILY Rev. Robert Everett Pattison, D.D., was born in Benson, Vt., August 19, 1800. His father was a Baptist minister, and although, after the completion of his school course, he him- self entered business, his tastes im- pelled him to follow in his father's footsteps. To this end he entered Amherst College and graduated in the class of 1826. While pursu- ing his theological studies he taught for one year in Columbian Univer- sity, Washington, D. C, and later was Professor of Mathematics in Waterville College. In 1833 he was ordained to the gospel ministry, and was first settled over the Second Baptist Church in Salem, Mass. His next charge was the old historic First Church of Providence, R. I. In 1836 he was called to the Presidency of Waterville College (now Colby University), and remained here for three years, until the institution was closed. He held a pastorate in St. Louis, Mo., for one year, and then returned to his former charge in Providence. In 1842 he was made Secretary of the Home Department of the American Baptist Missionary Union, and held this position till he was called to the Presidency of the Western Baptist Theological Seminary in Covington, Ky. Here he remained until 1848, when he became a professor in the Theological Seminar)' at Newton, Mass. He remained at Newton for six years, and in 1854 was recalled to the Presi- dency of Waterville College, which had been reopened in 1841. Failing health compelled him to resign this position in 1857, and for two years he lived quietly in Worcester. In 1859, his health being nearly restored, he became Princi- pal of the Oread, and held this position for five years. In 152 Oread Collegiate Institute 1864 he was called from the Oread to a Professorship in the Theological Department of Shurtleff College at Upper Alton, 111., and in 1870 he accepted a similar position in the Union Baptist Theological Seminary in Chicago. He died at St. Louis, Mo., November 21, 1874. Dr. Pattison published one book, a "Commentary on the Epistle to the Ephesians" (Boston, 1850). The degree of D.D. was conferred upon him by Brown in 1838. By his first wife he had two children, Eliza and Sarah. His second wife, Frances Wilson, was the mother of four children, Frances, Everett, Juliet and James William. His third wife, Ella Woods, was the Mrs. Pattison known to Oreades. Mrs. Robert Everett Pattison, nee Ella Woods, was the daughter of Rev. A. Woods, and niece of Dr. Lemuel Woods of Andover Theological Seminary. She was a native of Ver- mont and was married to Dr. Pattison when he was President of Waterville College. She was a woman of sweet Christian character and rare culture, and rendered invaluable assistance to Dr. Pattison at the Oread. After her husband's death in 1874, she resided with her niece, Mrs. George Dana Boardman, in Philadelphia till her death in 1893. Frances Pattison (known at the Oread as "Miss Fannie") i^fe V * m ' was born in Waterville, Me., September to, 1837. At the age of seventeen she commenced her career as a teacher of the Teachers from 1859-1864 l 53 higher branches and also of music. She was associated with her father. Dr. Pattison. at the Oread, where she was a never failing inspiration to highest attainments, not only intellectually, but also aesthetically and spiritually. September 18, 1867, at Upper Alton, 111., she was married to Rev. John Packer, then pastor ^^^ of the First Baptist Church, Fort Madison. Iowa. Two years later he was elected to the chair of Greek and Latin in the State University, Columbia, Mo. From there he was called by the American Baptist Mis- sionary Union to Rangoon, Burmah, to take charge of the Rangoon College. This position he occu- pied for fourteen years, when, at his own request, he was sent to open a new station at Meiktila. Northern Burmah. Whether at the college, or at the mission station, teaching the children, visiting from house to house, or carrying the gospel to the neighboring villages, Mrs. Packer's consecrated fidelity never faltered. She died December 19, 1898, and sleeps in the English Cemetery, Meiktila, Burmah. Her husband is still laboring at Meiktila. They had three children, of whom the eldest, Juliet Packer, died in infancy. There are living Elizabeth E. Packer, born in Columbia, Mo., now teacher of Latin in the High School at Glencoe, 111., and Everetta P. Packer, born in Rangoon, Burmah, now kindergarten teacher in Chicago. Everett Wilson Pattison, the eldest son of Dr. Pattison, was the instructor in Mathematics at the Oread in 1859-1861. He also had some few pupils in Greek, and in addition had charge of the calisthenics. He says: "Those who may not remember me for any other reason, will undoubtedly recall that T was the one who gave them only five minutes to get out of their ordinary clothes and into their gymnasium clothes, and wdio placed a demerit mark against the name of anyone who exceeded this time by so much as a second." He used to sav that the T 54 Oread Collegiate Institute girls of the Oread were a standing refutation of the calumny that it takes forever for a woman to dress. He was horn on the 22A of Feb- ruary, 1839, at Waterville, Ale., when Dr. Pattison was President of the college. His preparatory studies were pursued at Pierce Academy, in Middleboro, Mass. In September, 1854, when fifteen years old, he passed his examina- tions and was admitted to Water- ville College, from which he grad- uated in 1858, at the head of his class, of which he was the youngest member. After graduation he was for a year principal of an academy at West Gardiner, Me., leaving this position in 1859 to take his place as instructor at the Oread. Here he remained until the breaking out of the Civil War in 1 So 1. Early in May of that year he joined a company for drill. He feared that his father would not allow his eldest son to enter the army, but when he had himself settled the ques- tion of duty, he promptly presented the matter to his father. The reply was : "I should be ashamed of you if you did not go into your coun- try's service." He was enlisted in Company I of the Second Massa- chusetts Infantry, and was ap- pointed First Sergeant of the Com- pany. Everett remained in the army un- til the summer of 1864, receiving his commission as Second Lieuten- ant in February, 1862, being the first man to be promoted from the ranks to the line. At the battle of Cedar Mountain, which took place in August of 1862, he was advanced to the rank of First Lieutenant. He went into the battle the fourth ranking Second Lieutenant. He came out of it twenty-five minutes later the sixth ranking First Lieu- Teachers from 1859-1864 155 tenant. His regiment took into action twenty-two officers. It brought out only eight. In the latter part of 1863 he received his commission as Captain, which rank he held when he was mustered out of service. While an instructor at the Oread he spent several hours every day in the study of law. After leaving the army he opened a law office in St. Louis in 1865, and is still in active practice there. Immediately after his graduation from college Mr. Pattison contributed a number of articles to magazines. That which, perhaps, brought him the most commendation was one for the Inter-Collegiate Magazine, entitled "Translation." For many years after commencing practice the demands of his profession were such that he was unable to indulge his literary tastes, but later he commenced to write articles for law magazines, and at a still later period to write law books. Notwithstanding he has had an extensive and laborious practice, he has during his leisure hours prepared a "Digest of the Missouri Reports," in six volumes, has written a work on "Code Pleading," a work on "Criminal Instructions," and has prepared a book of "Legal Forms." In 1861, shortly after he enlisted in the army, Everett was married to Marcia Scott Whitehouse, of Waterville, Ale. Mrs. Pattison died in May, 1884. In September, 1892, he married for his second wife, Alice Maynard Gould of Portland, Me., the granddaughter of the prohibition leader, Neal Dow. Address : 4254 Olive St., St. Louis, Mo. Juliet Pattison was a pupil at the Oread until her graduation in 1861. From 1861 till 1864 she was teacher of English litera- ture there, and was known as "Miss Ettie." For her biography see page 168. James William Pattison, the youngest child of Dr. Pattison, was born at Boston (Roxbury), Mass., on July 14. 1844. He was Instructor in Drawing at the Oread during the latter part of Dr. Pattison's administration. After leaving the Oread he enlisted in the 57th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry for ser- vice in the Civil War. The 57th was attached to the First Division of the 9th Army Corps (General Burnside), forming i56 Oread Collegiate Institute a part of the great army which General Grant assembled for the final campaign of the war. The regiment was brought face to face with the enemy at the bloody battle of the Wilderness, where it suffered serious losses. The day after the battle of "The Crater'' ( July 30, 1864), the regiment, which had entered the campaign complete, could muster for duty but one offi- cer and about forty men, the color guard having been all killed but two, and the colors captured by the enemy. At no time after that (un- til just before muster out) could the report for active duty come as high as one hundred men. As may be conjectured, the youth entered a boy and came out a man. Mr. Pattison had determined to make art his professional life work and made his first appearance before the public with war sketches published in Harper's Weekly during the siege. Re- turning home (then Upper Alton, 111.) in 1865, he spent a season in the studio of Mr. Conant, in St. Louis ; going thence to New York City for art study, where he came under the influence of such artists as the brothers Hart, Sanford R. Gifford, and George Inness, his line of study being in landscape painting. After this, he was for five years instructor in art study at the Wash- ington University of St. Louis. Having married Elizabeth, the daughter of Prof. C. S. Pennell, he went (in 1873), accompanied by his wife, to Dusseldorf, Germany, for study. Plere, very soon after, Mrs. Pattison suddenly died. In 1876 he was again married to Helen Searle, an artist of marked talent, daughter of Henry Searle, architect, who was at the time of Helen's birth a resi- dent of Burlington, Vt. Immediately upon their marriage the Teachers from 1859-1864 157 couple left Dusseldorf for Paris, making their home in the suburb called Ecouen, where there was an art colony led by such men as Edouard Frere and Luigi Chialiva. The latter became the master of Mr. Pattison, and with him he studied the human figure, sheep, and cattle. About seven years were spent here, Mr. Pattison and his wife both becoming frequent exhibitors at the annual Salon. In 1882, after some nine years of uninterrupted life abroad, Mr. Pattison returned to America, spending one year in Chicago and then taking a studio in New York. Mrs. Pattison's health had seriously failed. To give her the benefits of a home in the country, they moved to Jacksonville, 111., where Mr. Pattison became the Director of the School of Fine Arts, which prospered under his management. However, the talented woman who had united her life with his was taken away at the commencement of this period (in 1884). After many years spent in painting, Mr. Pattison took up his work in Chicago (in 1885), where he was given a chair of lecture- ship in the Art Institute of Chicago, which he now occupies. Of late years, his time has been largely employed in lectur- ing, and much writing on art topics. He is the Art Editor of The Chicago Journal, a regular contributor to The House Beautiful, and to many other art and architectural publications. He is the author of "Painters since Leonardo," an Art History for popular use; also "Painters of the XVIIth and XYIllth Centuries," and the Dean of the Department of Illustration in the American Correspondence College of Chicago. He is Secre- tary of the Chicago Society of Artists and a Director of the Municipal Art League. As painter, Mr. Pattison has produced many pictures of land- scape with figures and domestic animals ; many marines and pictures with tonal effects. For years he was a regular exhib- itor at the National Academy in Xew York, the American Y\ ater Color Society of the same city, and in many other places, including the Art Gallery of the Columbian Exposition in 1893. In recent years he has made numerous visits to England and France, where he has given much time to stud}- in museums, especially those affecting ancient decorative art and Oriental art. Address : Studio Building, Chicago. i5< Oread Collegiate Institute Mrs. J. G. Binney was the sister of Dr. Pattison, and was born October r, 1808, at West Haven, Vt. In her girlhood she lived for some years in Dr. Pattison's family in Providence. Later she became Associate Principal of Charlestown Female Seminary near Boston. In 1833 she was married to Rev. Joseph G. Binney, then pastor of the Baptist Church in West Boylston, Mass. Early in the summer of 1843. while located in Savannah, Ga., Dr. Binney was called to the training of a native ministry among the Karens of Burmah. Dr. and Mrs. Binney sailed from Boston November 18, and arrived in Maulmain, April 6, 1844. In 1850, on account of Mrs. Binney 's ill health, they returned to America, and Dr. Binney became President of Columbian College, Washington, D. C. In 1858 he re- turned to Burmah as Principal of the Karen Theological and Literary Institute. Mrs. Binney suffered much from fever and other ail- ments, and in 1863 she came again to America, this time alone, and on crutches. The following year, 1863-64, she spent with her brother at the Oread, where her strong and lovely character, her uniform cheerfulness, and calm trust in God gave her a wonderful influence over the young ladies gathered in this home school. Her husband joined her two years afterwards, and again in 1866 both sailed for Rangoon. A year later Mrs. Binney became her husband's assistant in the seminary. At this time she wrote the translation of Dr. Cutter's Anatomy and Physiology. When Dr. Wade died he bequeathed to her the work of completing his Anglo-Karen Dictionary. This work she finished, and carefully revised for publication. After the death of Dr. Binney in 1877,' she wrote his life, giving it the title "Twenty-six Years in Burmah." She remained at her post until her death in 1884. In summing up the varied positions and responsibilities to which Mrs. Binney was called in life, we find that whether laboring with her husband in his country pastorates in West Teachers from 1 8 59-1864 J 59 Boylston and Southbridge, Mass., and Elmira, N. Y., or in city pastorates in Savannah and Augusta, Ga. ; as wife of the President of Columbian College in Washington, or sharing the labors of the toiling missionary in the Kemendine jungles ; whether an honored guest for many weeks in the homes of friends in her own land, or enduring the discomforts of many months on shipboard ; whether preparing books for her stu- dents, or cooking for her family and pupils ; whether cared for in her own long illnesses, or for fifteen months in her missionary home caring for Dr. Wade, slowly dying with cancer ; whether on ship Sutlej. trying to save a young British officer from him- self and his evil tendencies, or in Burmah, advising and encour- aging young missionaries and the native Christian women ; whether with unwearied patience learning the Karen language at Maulmain, or in later life, after the completion of her three- score and ten years, toiling daily four hours in completing the Karen Dictionary ; whether a bride in Providence at twenty- five, or a widow on the Indian Ocean at sixty-nine; in joy or sorrow, in the sunlight of prosperity and in the dark cloud of adversity, in assured success and in seeming failure, in daily companionship with her noble husband, and during three years when two oceans separated them ; in struggling and in weak- ness, in health and in illness, living and dying, she was a representative Christian woman, an inspiration to her husband as well as to her fellow workers of two hemispheres and an example for imitation to the Christian women of the world. J. Henry Binney was the adopted son of Rev. and Mrs. Joseph G. Binney. He was the brother of Harriet Boynton, an Oread grad- uate in the class of 1861, and was the son of Federal and Eliza- beth Ann (Binney) Boynton. Pie was born July 19, 1847, m Cam- bridge, Mass. When he was eight years old his father died, and he was adopted by his mother's brother, Dr. Binney, then President of Co- lumbian College, Washington, D. C. i6o Oread Collegiate. Institute In 1858, when Dr. and Mrs. Binney went to Burmah, Henry went with them and remained till early in 1862, when he returned to America, and pursued his studies at the Oread with Dr. Pattison, who was Mrs. Binney's brother. Early in 1864 he entered the army, enlisting in the 57th Massachusetts Volunteers, and was wounded in one of the battles of "The Wilderness." Af- ter recovering he rejoined his regi- ment and remained with it till the close of the war. Mr. Binney was in business in St. Louis for several years. He was graduated from the Indiana Medical College in Indianapolis in February, 1878, and practiced as a physician for many years in Fullerton, Neb., where he died in March, 1901, of pneumonia. He was twice married — first to Nettie Smith of Shenandoah, Iowa, a relative of Millard Fillmore, and after her death to Susie Smith, a sister of his first wife. They had three children: Nettie, Millard and Joseph. Nettie died of scarlet fever. The boys are living and in business ; Joseph in Missouri and Millard in Fullerton, Neb. ASSISTANT TEACHERS Mile. Marie Bachmann taught French and German at the Oread in the early years of Dr. Pattison's administration. She was a native of Basle, Switzerland, and after spending some years in America, she returned to her home in Basle and there died. She had also lived for a time in Zofingen, Switzerland. William Arnold Greene was born in East Greenwich, R. L, November 21, 1822, and died in Boston, November 18, 1872. He was connected with that branch of the Greene family to which General Nathaniel Greene and Colonel Christopher Greene belonged. Before coming to Worcester he had been engaged in business in New York and Boston. During- his residence in Teachers from 1859-1864 161 Worcester in 1860-68, he taught at the Oread, at the High- land Military Academy, and had many private pupils.

The eldest enlisted in the 34th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry on his eighteenth birthday. Jul}- 3, 1862, and served about three years in the Civil War, contract- ing a disease from which he died in 1870. Two daughters only are liv- ing. One, Martha Gertrude Green, was an Oread pupil during the years of her father's connection with the institution. Professor Alfred Gaudelet, who succeeded Mr. Greene as teacher of French at the Oread, was connected with that insti- tution in the year 1863-64. He died in Providence in 1875. Mrs. Gaudelet was Miss Chace of Brattleboro, Vt. She died in Boston, in 1901, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Amory. Edward W.

OREAD PUPILS FROM 1859 TO 1864 GRADUATES CLASS OF 1861 "The Class of 1861," writes the class historian, "deserves more than passing notice. We were seven. The first to pass on was Abbie Stillwell, the merriest, brightest of our number. It was through her influence that we formed a class associa- tion with president and secretary, and through all these years have never failed to write our semi-annual letter. Recently we learned of a second death, that of Juliet Pattison. All have married but one, and she, so kind of heart and strong of intellect, has mothered and helped many young men and women into better and nobler lives. Our class has added to its number six husbands, twenty-one children, seven sons' wives, two daughters' husbands and nine grandchildren. We have lost by death two classmates, two husbands, six children, so we number to-day forty-two. Our husbands and sons have filled positions as ministers, lawyers, brokers, editors, real estate men, presidents of colleges, teachers, aldermen, members of the Army and Navy, members of school boards, presidents and secretaries of boards of trade ; all able and influential men, who have labored earnestly for the advancement of the communities in which they have lived." L. Eleanor Bliss, daughter of Caleb and Lydia (Humphry) Bliss, was born in June, 1838, in Seekonk, Mass., now East Providence, R. I. She was of English ancestry. Her father was a direct descendant of Thomas Bliss, who was born in 1580 in Balstone Parish, County of Devonshire, England. He was a wealthy landholder, but being a Puritan suffered severe per- secution from the church party in power. His grandson, Thomas Bliss, came to America in 1630.

During all these years of her young womanhood she was an earnest Christian worker. At Worcester she was a teacher in the Sunday School in Union Church and at the mission Sunday School as well, and she was also an active worker at the Center Congregational Church while in Hartford. She was always interested in children, and in the Western parishes she conducted Mission Bands and Temperance' Bands, M C Pupils from 1859-1864 111 and was active in Christian Endeavor and Sunday School work, in addition to her other duties. She had a strong religious influ- ence on the young around her. and was a great favorite both with her fellow pupils at school and with her scholars when she was teaching. Although, as has been said, she wrote little for publication, yet she was not wholly inactive in this respect. She had a large correspondence and wrote many letters to friends in the East, which were of great influence in keeping alive an interest in home missionary work in the West. She translated a booklet from the French of Rev. Caesar Malan, and contributed to local papers, as well as to the Mission Dayspriug. Mrs. Dean lies buried in Woodstock, Conn. To those who knew her well she was a rare woman. Her perceptions were keen, her kindness unlimited. These characteristics, combined with a sweet disposition and a quick sense of the amusing, made her companionship both profitable and pleasant. The sentiment expressed upon her tombstone is especially applicable : "Her children rise up and call her blessed." Jane Olivia Simons was born in British Burmah, March 4, 1 841. She was the daughter of Thomas Simons and his wife, Caroline Jenks Harrington, daughter of Deacon Amos Harrington of West Brookfield, Mass.

Sometime in 1873 she went to India, there meeting her father before his death in 1875. Later she was married to a Eurasian minister, the Rev.

Emma Spaulding, born in Webster, Mass., was the daughter of Erastus Spaulding and his wife, Lucy Locke. Her paternal ancestors were living in the town of Spalden, in what is now Lincoln- shire, England, at the time of the >^5^k Norman Conquest. The first Amer- ' '" ^^sff ll '"' dweller of thai name came to r- : *wF this country with Sir George Yeard- ley in 1609, and in 1623 was still liv- ing in the Virginia Colony. Later he joined the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and from him the New England stock has sprung. Lucy Locke was a member of the English family which produced John Locke, the metaphysician, and later Samuel Locke, who at the first Commencement after he was installed President of Harvard College in 1770, delivered an address in Chaldee, being also proficient in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Ances- tors on both sides served in the Revolutionary War, one in the bat- tle of Lexington ; another, under General Gates, was present at the surrender of General Burgoyne.

She was married in May, 1866, to James A. Robert. A.M., Ph.D., an educator by profession, and went immediately abroad, as she herself expressed it, for "pleasure and study." Again at a later date, a foreign trip of four months gave her added 180 Oread Collegiate Institute opportunities in a similar direction, the impulse to which was increased by the rare culture and congenial tastes of her hus- band. Having no children, she has been able to give herself more freely to the larger world, and she has been active in both church and club life. In the course of her church work, which has been always nearest her heart, it has been her privilege to lead a class, with a mem- bership of fifty married women, in Bible study, and to preside over the Young People's Association of the Home and Foreign Missionary So- cieties, and also over an Ecclesiasti- cal History Class, all connected with the First Baptist Church of Dayton, Ohio, where she resides. Her ability and proficiency in the study of Literature, both ancient and modern, and in the his- tory and criticism of Literature and of the Fine Arts, have placed her at the head of the Women's Literary Club, the pioneer women's club of the city, and made her President of the Mozart Society (which unites musical and literary forces), and of the Outlook, also a literary club. She has also held the office of President of the Ohio State Federation of Clubs. While writing and delivering many essays and addresses in connection with her religious and lit- erary work, she has never written for publication and has studiously declined all invitations in that direction.

An unfinished flower study on the easel, a bit of deli- cate sewing in her work basket and a book with its marker where she laid it down, each spoke pathetically of the one whose pathway had led to the Celestial Gates. She was a woman of exceptional natural gifts and of rare cultivation. Her work in pencil, pastel, water colors and oil, as well as in china painting and wood carving, was charac- terized by refinement of taste and grace of execution.

Her father came from Rehoboth, Mass., of good old Puritan stock, and her mother was a descendant of Gregory Dexter, who settled in Providence in 1(44. Amy was early left an orphan. Her aunt, Mrs. Louisa Dex- ter Mumford, had the oversight of her education and it was under her care that she entered the Oread in September, 1859, and remained during Dr. Pattison's administration. She fin- ished her education at East Greenwich Seminary, near which Mrs. Mumford then resided. Amy went abroad once, but beyond that led a quiet, unevent- ful life. It has been truly said of her that wherever her quiet path led her "she went about doing good." She was a member of the Central Congregational Church, Providence. She died of consumption in 1883. Mary J. Smith, called at the Oread "Mollie," was the daughter of Elisha Smith of Pawtuxet, R.

THE OREAD FROM 1864 TO 1881 THE SHEPARDSON-PACKARD ADMINISTRATION DR. PATTISOX was succeeded by Rev. John Shepardson, then pastor of the Baptist Church at Petersham, Mass., and Miss Sophia B. Packard, who had been Preceptress of the Connecticut Literary Institute at Suffield, Conn. Dr. Shepard- son and Miss Packard were associated together as principals, their names being bracketed under that title in the catalogues. When he assumed this position at the Oread Mr. Shepardson did not give up his pastorate at Petersham, and spent only a part of each week in Worcester, usually from Monday night till Friday morning. He had no classes, but gave general super- vision to the work of the school and looked after its outside interests, leaving to Miss Packard the chief responsibility for its instruction and discipline. This charge Miss Packard was most competent to assume. She was a woman of powerful intellect and strong will, aggressive and energetic, with almost a masculine genius for business and capacity for leadership, and in addition was a thoroughly consecrated and devoted Christian. In spite of a dignity and authoritative manner that in some persons would have been almost forbidding. Miss Packard's strong and positive qualities of mind and heart made her a woman to inspire deeply-felt admiration and devotion, and many of her pupils were roused through her influence to an eager ambition for intellectual achievement or to a life-long consecration to Christian service. Dr. Shepardson. who was a big. hearty, genial man, so cordial and kindly that the affectionate nickname given him by the girls, "Father Shepardson," seemed most fitting and appro- priate, was, like Miss Packard, deeply interested in the moral and spiritual welfare of the girls, so that the whole school during this administration was permeated with religious interest and enthusiasm. 228 Oread Collegiate Institute Miss Packard was ably assisted in her duties of instruction and discipline by Miss Hattie E. Giles, her devoted friend, with whom she had been constantly associated in all that she had done for ten years, and who continued to be her co-worker till Miss Packard's death. It would have been impossible for a school girl of those days to speak or think of one without the other. They dressed alike and in leisure hours were nearly always together. Miss Giles was in character quite unlike Miss Packard, being most gentle, mild, and self-effacing, but con- stantly watchful and quietly observant that everything went well. The devotion of these two, in disposition and tempera- ment so totally different, was a striking proof of the truth of that verse in Tennyson's In Memoriam, which gives as the cause of perfect sympathy between two friends, — "But he was rich where I was poor, And he supplied my want the more As his unlikeness fitted mine." Under this administration an excellent corps of teachers was gathered together. With the exception of Mr. Seabury W. Bowen, who had been one of Dr. Pattison's assistants, all of these began their connection with the Oread at the beginning of this administration, though several of them continued to teach at the school for many years after Dr. Shepardson and Miss Packard left.

The Shepardson-Packard Administration 229 The yearly enrollment of the school under the Shepardson- Packard administration, as indicated by the catalogue of the year 1865, was about one hundred and twenty. Under these principals there were nine graduates, five in the class of 1865 and four in the class of 1866. Dr. Shepardson was at the head of the Oread for only two years, from 1864 to 1866. After his retirement Air. Harris R. Greene of Worcester took his place and was associated as principal with Miss Packard for one year, 1866-67. In this year there were no graduates. The new names on the list of teachers were four in number. Miss Carrie Frost in the depart- ment of Mathematics (see p. 258), Mile. L'Aignoux in French. Miss Lizzie Howe in Latin (see p. 261), and Mr. Ezekiel W. Dimond, who succeeded Mr. Bowen in the department of Natural Sciences (see p. 255). MR. GREENE'S ADMINISTRATION In September, 1867, Mr. Greene assumed entire control of the school. He held the office of Principal of the Oread for the next twelve years, from 1867 to 1879, the longest period in its history during which it was under a single head. When he came to the Oread he was already well known as a teacher in Worcester, having been the popular principal of its High School. In consequence of this fact he drew large numbers to the institution, and in the year 1867 there were one hundred and ninety-one enrolled in the school catalogue, the highest number on record in the history of the school. His pupils remember Mr. Greene as a man of striking appear- ance, of swarthy complexion, and long, bushy, jet-black hair; his face expressing a kindly interest, his manners quiet, but at the same time genial. His natural instincts were toward the life of the scholar, and he was an indefatigable student. Except when he had classes or some special business elsewhere, he could nearly always be found in his study, poring with deep absorption over his books. Here he loved not only to read and enjoy the best in the literatures of all ages, but also did scholarly work in the line of original research, and was not only a student, but also a writer of books. 230 Oread Collegiate Institute As befitted one who was in constant communion with the royal minds of all time, Mr. Greene was a man of singular sim- plicity and purity of character. He was inclined to a kindly leniency in the smaller matters of discipline, but was firm and decided against all that was really false or wrong. His own uprightness and love for all that was "lovely and of good report" made his influence positive and powerful in leading his pupils to love and strive to attain to a worthy Christian char- acter. He was entirely consecrated to his work as a teacher, and believed that occupation to be as sacred a calling as the ministry, his main object being not only to teach the necessary facts, but through them to impart a love and enthusiasm for things of greater value. Some of his pupils still remember dis- tinctly one evening when he took his astronomy class out under the stars to point out to them the various constellations, and how before doing so he gave them a little talk on the beauty of the heavens at night and the goodness of God in making nature so beautiful for the help and comfort of man. Though the names of many of the constellations have been for years forgotten, this little talk has lingered long in the memories of the girls to whom he spoke. Although in social life Mr. Greene was a quiet man, and, when he was absorbed in his work even inclined to absent- mindedness (his weakness in this line being a constant source of good-natured joking in which he joined as heartily as any- one), in the class-room he became roused and by his own enthu- siasm and eagerness in the pursuit of knowledge he inspired the same feelings in his pupils. He had charge of two depart- ments, Ancient Languages and English Language and Litera- ture, but the latter was his specialty, and the one in which both he and his pupils took special delight. In the history and devel- opment of the English language and in comparative philology he was a thorough scholar, and his unusual knowledge of these subjects, added to his unusual gifts as a teacher, made lessons in grammar and the analysis of the English language, ordinarily dull and dry, teem with interest and life. But the one class which stands out vividly above all others in the memory of his pupils was the one popularly called " The Poets," in which the works of the great English writers of verse were studied. Contrary to the usual practice in many schools and Mr. Greene's Administration 231 colleges in those days, he did not give his pupils hooks about the great poets — Shakespeare, Milton and others — but intro- duced them directly to their works. He had a wonderful way of so presenting a subject that the important points were indeli- bly impressed on the memory of his hearers. His method was half lecture, half recitation. He gave his pupils a great deal of himself, and at the same time demanded a great deal of them. Among other things he insisted on their committing to memory a large number of beautiful passages, a requirement which has since proved to his pupils a source of profit and pleasure. One of them, for many years a teacher of literature, writes as follows, — and she echoes, I am sure, the feeling of all who had the pleasure of coming under Mr. Greene's instruc- tion, — "To Mr. Greene is due my success in, and love for lit- erature. My first insight into its beauties came from him, as I listened to his reading of Milton, and among my most precious possessions is the old Index Rerum,* now nearly filled, which I began to fill in his classes. It has been my constant com- panion, and my own pupils were all familiar with it." Mr. Greene was widely known for his success in teaching "The Poets," and before coming to the Oread had had many private classes in the city in that subject. Associated with Mr. Greene in all his work was his brilliant and versatile wife. She was a woman of great refinement and culture, a talented artist, an accomplished musician, and pos- sessed of a wide and appreciative knowledge of literature. In spite of the fact that at this time she was burdened with the cares of a family of four small children, she found time to become personally acquainted with most of her husband's pupils, to mother them and cheer them when they were homesick or ill, and during nearly the whole of Mr. Greene's administration to render him valuable assistance by giving instruction on the piano, and in painting and drawing. She was a brilliant con- versationalist, and at any entertainment the sparkling center of the whole. Another member of Mr. Greene's family whom all will remember was Mrs. E. S. Seamans, Mrs. Greene's mother, a bright, keen-minded and cheery old lady, interested in every- *This Index Rerum was a note book, into which were copied all the passages which the girls were required to learn. 232 Oread Collegiate Institute thing and in everybody, still active and vigorous in body and intellect in spite of her advancing years. And nearly always with her was to be found her dearest friend and companion, her gentle and timid little granddaughter Alice. As will be remem- bered. Alice died while her father was still Principal of the Oread. About the time that he took the principalship of the Oread, Mr. Greene founded, and afterwards had charge of, an institu- tion called the Oread High and Grammar School. This school, situated on the corner of Main and Austin streets, was a private preparatory school for boys and girls, fitting boys for college and girls chiefly for the Oread. It was always very closely connected with that institution, some of its teachers having classes at both, and all of them boarding at the Oread. The smaller Oread pupils often attended the Grammar School instead of the Institute. Miss Ava Williams, well known to Oreades, was its first and best-known principal. The life at the Oread under Mr. Greene showed a healthy tendency towards devotion to study rather than towards social gaieties. The daily routine was as follows : Breakfast was at seven, followed by a "silent time" for private devotions. Reci- tations were heard in the morning only, and they lasted till dinner time at one o'clock. Study hours were in the afternoon till four, and in the evening. The recreation period was from four till six. On Monday and Wednesday evenings the pupils had gymnastic exercises in the dining room immediately after supper. On Thursday evening Mr. Greene gave what was called a religious lecture, and these little talks were so sane, sensible and helpful, and at the same time were inspired by such lofty ideals, that his pupils speak of them as one of the most valuable and not the least attractive part of the week's routine. On Saturday evening was the prayer meeting, and on Sunday evening the Bible class. Saturday was a day of recreation, with the exception of study hours from eleven to one in the morning and for a short time in the evening. The two great social events of the year were the annual soiree, given in connection with the commencement exercises in June, and the semi-annual soiree given usually in February. To these the friends of the pupils and of the school were invited. An entertainment was given by the pupils, consist- THE DRAWING ROOM. MR. GREENE S STUDY. Mr. Greene's Administration 233 ing of musical selections, recitations, tableaux or dramatics. On one occasion scenes were given from Racine's Athalic, in French. But the dramatics, though frequently given in French, were usually of a less ambitious character. A reception fol- lowed this entertainment. It is very difficult to write an interesting story of the life at any well-conducted school. Its atmosphere of studious quiet shows a dearth of exciting incidents, either within or without the daily routine. The life at the Oread under Air. Greene shows this freedom from unusual incident. There was. how- ever, one notable exception, and this was the burning of the barn in the spring of 187 1. This barn was a wooden structure, standing in the rear of the Oread at some little distance from the main building. The girls were roused in the dead of night by the crackling of the blaze and by the bright glare of flames, which shone into their rooms with the brilliancy of daylight. The smell of smoke and the evident nearness of the conflagra- tion gave the impression that the Oread itself was on lire, and although the consternation and terror caused by this impression was soon put an end to by the discovery of the real location of the blaze, the girls did not recover from the effects of their fright for a long time. Xot the least distressing incident con- nected with the burning of the barn was the discovery that the handsome black horse, owned by Air. Greene and a great pet among the girls, had, after frantic efforts to escape, lost its life in the flames. Another incident which caused some temporary excitement, but which afterwards proved to have a more humorous than serious side, was a spectacular attempt on the part of the dis- reputable, and therefore cast-off, husband of Airs. Dennis, the cook, to make her return to her home and live with him. His method was a pretended attempt at suicide. His aim was inten- tionally wide of the mark, but his pistol made a very loud noise. This did not move the hard heart of Airs. Dennis, but it caused a very considerable panic among the girls, who tried to prevent Air. Greene from going down to the kitchen to investigate. He went, however, just in time to see Air. Dennis, discouraged and rejected, disappearing around the end of the Oread. The standard of scholarship at the Oread under Air. Greene was very high. His requirements for the degree of Oreas 234 Oread Collegiate Institute Erudita included Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, Physi- ology, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Botany and Astronomy, four years of Latin and three of French, History, Intellectual and Moral Philosophy, Rhetoric and English Literature, and the courses were of a difficulty worthy of an institution of col- legiate grade. Optional courses were offered in Analytical Geometry and Conic Sections, Natural History, Geology, Logic, German and Greek. Several took the course in Greek, and it is noteworthy that the present head of the Greek department at Yassar College began the study of that language at the Oread. From 1868 to 1879 there was no year without its graduating class. None of these classes had less than four members. The class of 1873 had thirteen members, the largest number in the history of the school. In 1868 there were eight graduates, in 1869 six, in 1870 nine, in 1871 eleven, in 1872 five, in 1873 thirteen, in 1874 four, in 1875 ten, in 1876 five, in 1877 four, in 1878 five, and in 1879 f° ur I making a total of eighty-four. The average number of pupils enrolled during the first six years of this administration was nearly one hundred and forty. About this time the large woman's colleges, Yassar, Smith and Wellesley, threw open their doors, turning towards themselves the tide of patronage among New England girls of scholarly ambition, and affecting seriously the attendance at many schools of collegiate grade, like the Oread. A private institution could not compete with institutions on a permanent foundation and with larger endowments, and after 1874 the average registra- tion at the Oread was only about seventy. The collegiate insti- tute was the forerunner of the woman's college. It prepared the way for it and made it possible. After the college was founded the important work of the collegiate institute was done, and it was inevitable that as the strength of the one increased, the necessity for the existence of the other should gradually decrease. An account of the life at the Oread under Air. Greene would be, to the minds of many of his pupils, manifestly incomplete, if it contained no mention of the many excellent teachers who formed his faculty. The Oread was famed in those days for the high quality of the instruction given, especially during the first six years of the administration. It would be impossible to give even brief mention of all, but there were two or three Mr. Greene's Administration 235 whose connection with the Oread was so long and who made an abiding" impression on so many of the pupils, that they deserve at least a passing notice. They were all skilled teachers, but it is for their attractive or forceful personal qualities that their old pupils still hold them in loving memory. First of all there was Miss Goddard, a bright-eyed little woman, wide-awake and energetic; in discipline ever most wise and just, in manner warm-hearted and affectionate, and one who had the charming grace of making each pupil feel she had a personal interest in her. Then there was Miss Jennie Woodbury, sweet, young and girlish, who seemed, in fact, more like one of the girls herself than one of the teachers; and Miss Ava Williams, every inch a lady, as was shown in the exquisite care of her dress and in her manner of gracious dignity ; punctilious in every detail and the soul of honor, possessing among the Oread pupils a remarkable reputation for intuitively knowing everything that was going on ; the loyal friend and encourager of those who were ambitious to do their best, the relentless scorner of the idler and the shirk. These three teachers were associated with Mr. Greene during the whole of the first half of his adminis- tration.* Prominent among the teachers of the latter half were Miss Abbie Leach, dignified, scholarly, and of high ambi- tion. Miss Parkinson, gentle, retiring, and conscientious, and Miss Helen Wood, true-hearted and faithful. Of the non-resident teachers, who could ever forget Mrs. Sumner, always full of life and push, the indefatigable worker, big-hearted, and possessed of a refreshingly large modicum of sane, practical, common sense ; or the instructors in vocal and instrumental music, Mrs. Doane and Professor Ainsworth, both a source of pride to the school for the excellent musical reputation they gave it : both accepting nothing but the most conscientious work on the part of their pupils, yet never ceas- ing to be pleasantly encouraging. Mrs. Childs, matron from 1869 to 1874. Oread pupils will remember as a woman of refinement and superior intelligence, quiet, yet winning univer- A.s a matter of fact Miss Williams was regularly connected with the school as a teacher for only three years, but she boarded there while she was principal of the Oread High and Grammar School, knew all the pupils, and, until 1873, was as much a part of the school life as Mr. Greene himself. 236 Oread Collegiate Institute sal respect; persistently conscientious and faithful in the per- formance of all her duties regardless of consequences, yet ever regarded with love and affection by all who lived in Oread Castle in those days. Besides their duties as supervisors of discipline and the moral and religious welfare of the school, the Principal and Preceptresses took upon themselves the chief burden of instruc- tion in the strictly academic and collegiate branches, except French and German. In addition to these, assisted by Miss Goddard, Miss Woodbury and Miss Williams in the first six years and later by Miss Leach, Miss Parkinson and Miss Wood, there were eight other instructors in the academic branches, but no two of these were there together and only one of them stayed over a year, that one being a non-resident lecturer. Mr. Greene provided excellent instruction in French and German. During the twelve years of his administration there were ten different instructors in the Modern Languages, includ- ing three native French teachers and two native Germans. Three of these instructors taught both French and German. Music was, of course, a large department and always called for from three to six instructors. Professor Ainsworth was the head of the department of instrumental music for a large part of Air. Greene's administration, and was succeeded by Professor Story. Mrs. Greene's name is found on the rolls as instructor in piano from 1869 to 1879. There were five other assistant instructors, but their connection with the school lasted only one or two years each. As head of the department of vocal music Mrs. A. L. Doane was connected with the school for eight years. She was preceded by Mrs. E. A. Allen and succeeded by Mr. Walter Kennedy. Mr. W. E. Chandler gave instruction in this department in 1869. Besides these more important departments a special instruc- tor was always provided in the department of Painting and Drawing, in the department of Art Fancy Work, in Gymnastics and Voice Culture, and in Penmanship.

THE CLOSING YEARS OF THE SCHOOL In 1877 Mr. Greene had been ordained to the gospel minis- try, and in 1879 ne resigned his position at the Oread to take np his work as a preacher. He was succeeded by Mr. John Alden Thayer, son of the founder of the Oread. Mr. Thayer was a young man of fine scholarship, had just graduated from Harvard with honors, and took the principalship of the Oread with the promise of earning an enviable reputation for himself and the school. This promise was thwarted as far as the Oread was concerned, however, by the fact that, soon after the school opened in the fall of 1879, Air. Thayer's health broke down, and he was compelled to give up his work there entirely and go South for recuperation. The whole charge of the school now devolved upon the Preceptress, Miss Harriet E. Paine. Miss Paine was a graduate of Wheaton Seminary at Norton, and has since won considerable fame for herself as an author. When Mr. Thayer took the school its attendance had, for causes already mentioned, begun to suffer a noticeable diminu- tion. The number enrolled was now only about thirty or forty, but the standard of scholarship was still high, special effort being made to secure the very best teachers, the moral tone of the school was excellent, and its social life attractive. Those who lived in Oread Castle under the care of Miss Paine MRS. GREENE'S PARLOR. A SOUTH TOWER BEDROOM. The Closing Years 239 have many delightful recollections of their connection with the school. The small number of pupils made more freedom allow- able than was possible in its more populous days. There was a good deal of social life. Frequent receptions were held in the school parlor, and an occasional small dance, with orchestral music, was given in the dining room. Coasting and all other healthy recreations were encouraged. There were only two resident teachers at this time, besides Miss Ida Thayer, teacher of painting and drawing (see p. 129), who lived with her family in the Xorth Tower. These two were Miss Penelope Burns, the skilled teacher of French and German, who had already been connected with the school for several years under Mr. Greene, and Miss Paine, the Pre- ceptress. Miss Paine had a sweet and lovable personality, through which she early won the affection and loyalty of every pupil. One of them says : "We all thought everything of Miss Paine. In fact we loved her dearly, and we would have been greatly troubled to know that we had done anything to dis- please her. I distinctly remember how one evening some of us stole away without permission for a trip to town, and how Miss Paine's distress, when she found we had done it, affected us. I believe none of us after that found any especial attraction in the infringement of the rules." The other teachers under this administration were Miss Abbie S. Davis, instructor in the academic branches (p. 303). Mr. Henshaw Dana and Mr. Walter Kennedy, teachers of instrumental music ( pp. 255 and 261), William E. Xolan, instructor in elocution, and Mr. P. H. Reilly, dancing master. The life at the school, then, was pleasant, the teachers were of high reputation and ability, those in immediate charge were capable and wise, but its attendance had been so reduced that it was impossible to make it a success financially, and after two years it was thought best to discontinue it. In 1881, after thirty-two years of distinguished service in the cause of the higher education of women, the Oread Collegiate Institute closed its doors, going out of existence only after it had helped to bring about the great object for which it was founded, namely, universal recognition of the need and value of a col- legiate trainino- for women as well as for men. OREAD TEACHERS FROM 1864 TO 1881 THE PRINCIPALS 1864 TO 1866 Rev. John Shepardson was born at Royalston, Mass., April 12, 1820. His parents, Daniel and Prudence (Cook) Shepard- son, were people of the old Puritan type, and exerted a power- ful influence upon their children in the direction of a devout faith and a strong sense of duty. At eleven years of age their son John united with the Baptist church of which his parents were members. His thoughts were at once turned toward the ministry, but the slender means at the com- mand of the family led him to so nearly abandon his half-formed purpose that he entered into a con- tract with his parents to remain at home and manage the farm dur- ing their lives. A painful accident, however, which disabled him for several weeks, led to serious re- flections and he became convinced that he was not in the path of duty. His father generously released him from the contract, and, at seventeen years of age he began the struggle for an education. For eight successive winters he taught and studied, attend- ing the Shelburne Falls Academy part of each year and teach- ing the rest of the time. The deep religious interest shown by his pupils, frequently culminating in powerful revivals, led him to feel that he should not much longer delay in entering upon his life-work. Accordingly in June, 1842, he yielded to the earnest desire of the church in New Salem and Prescott to become its pastor. Soon after, he married Maria A. Chamber- lain of New Salem. Teachers from 1864-1881 241 He remained at New Salem seven years, and then removed to Petersham, where he had occasionally held services, to organize a Baptist church there. This proved to be a remarka- ble pastorate of twenty-three years. During two years of this time, from 1864 to 1866, he was also Principal of the Oread Institute, returning to Petersham weekly for the Sabbath services. In 1866 he founded the High- land Institute, Petersham, which he managed in connection with church work until the close of this pastor- ate, when he accepted a call to the Baptist Church in Wales, Mass. It was here that his wife died. Two daughters were left to him : Addie F., who was married to W. T. Leonard of Taunton, Mass. ; and Ella S., an Oread graduate of 1866, who was married to Rev. F. E. Tower. Before the close of this pastorate he was married again to Mrs. Maria B. Jones of Taunton. In 1876 he removed to Greenfield, Mass., to assume the pas- torate of the Baptist Church in that place. Here he remained eleven years. Then failing health compelled him to lay the burden down, and he removed to Taunton, assuming charge, however, of the church in Norton, so far as to supply the pulpit on the Sabbath. This he continued to do till within two weeks of his death, which occurred December 14, 1889. 1864 TO 1867 Miss Sophia B. Packard and Miss Harriet E. Giles were so closely associated in all their life-work that it seems fitting to make one biography serve for both. Miss Packard was born in Xew Salem, Mass., in 1824, and was the daughter of Winslow and Rachel (Freeman) Packard. Miss Giles was the daughter of Mr. Samuel Giles of Xew Salem. Although born in the same town they were not acquainted until Miss Packard went to New Salem Academy as Preceptress in 1855. Miss Packard began to teach at the age of sixteen, and continued in 16 242 Oread Collegiate Institute that profession until her death. At the age of twenty-six she graduated from Charlestown Seminary, and the next year was appointed teacher in the same school. Afterwards she held the position of Preceptress successively at New Salem Academy, at a private school, at the Connecticut Literary Institute at Suffield, Conn., and at the Oread. After becom- ing acquainted at New Salem Academy Miss Giles and Miss Packard became co-workers and were never thereafter sepa- rated except by death. Their connection with the Oread began in the autumn of 1864 and continued three years, during which Miss Packard taught Metaphysics and Literature, and had charge of the school administration, and Miss Giles taught Ornamentals and Music. After leaving the Oread they went to Boston, where Miss Packard engaged in business, and was after- wards Pastor's Assistant in the Shawmut Avenue Baptist Church and Tre- mont Temple. Miss Giles taught music and other miss giles and miss Packard. branches to private pupils. In 1880 Miss Packard, then Corresponding Secretary of the Woman's American Bap- tist Home Missionary Society, an association which she had herself organized, made with Miss Giles a trip through the South in order to become acquainted with the needs of the negroes. Being convinced that they were themselves called to work among the illiterate negro women of the South, they secured, in spite of much opposition, an appointment by the Society to work in Atlanta, Ga. April 11, 1881, their school, then called the Atlanta Baptist Female Seminary, was opened in the dark basement of the Friendship Baptist Church, witb an attendance of eleven pupils, most of them full-grown women. By the close of the year there were eighty pupils, and at the opening of the school the next fall, one hundred and seventy-three were enrolled. Since that time the school has steadily increased in numbers and equipment. After being the principal of this school for eight Teachers from 1864-1881 243 or nine years Miss Packard's health gave out, and although she took a long vacation and traveled in Europe for her health, she never really recovered, and died in June, 1891, at Washington, D. C.j on her way home to Massachusetts. She was buried in Athol, .Mass., June 24, 1891. After her death Miss Giles became President of the institution, and still holds that posi- tion. It is now the largest school for colored women in the United States, and its name has been changed to Spelman Semi- nary in honor of Mr. Harvey B. Spelman, an ardent advocate of the cause of negro education and father of Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, whose husband has always been one of its most generous benefactors. At present Spelman Seminary numbers nearly seven hundred pupils and forty-one teachers. It has twenty acres of beautifully kept grounds on which stand eight large brick buildings, with all the modern improvements, includ- ing steam heat and electricity. Its forty class-rooms are suita- bly equipped with all modern appliances and the school boasts a good library, a small museum, and a well supplied reading room. The courses of instruction include primary, intermedi- ate, grammar, academic and college preparatory courses, a nor- mal and training course, a missionary training, and also a nurse training and industrial course. It stands as a splendid monument to the noble consecration and untiring efforts of these two brave women. Miss Giles' address is : Spelman Seminary, Atlanta, Ga. 1866 TO 1879 Harris Ray Greene was born in North Kingstown. R. I., August 16, 1829. He was the son of Colonel James and Lucy (Sherman) Greene. His father was a descendant of General Xathanael Greene of Revolutionary fame, and his mother a descendant of Roger Sherman of Connecticut. There were eight children in the family, of whom Harris was the fifth.

She, wishing to superintend the education of her own children, received into her home many other children living in her neighborhood. She was a thorough, painstaking teacher, and inspired her pupils with a fondness for study, and urged upon them the value of a college education. Mr. Greene always spoke of her with great affection, and felt that he owed to her more than to any one else his desire for intellectual advancement. He studied in preparation for college at the Wickford Acad- emy, at the East Greenwich, R. I., Academy, and at the Provi- dence High School, and entered Brown in the year 1850, when Francis Wayland was President.

Later he removed to Worcester, Mass., where he was appointed Principal of the High School, which position he retained for seven years, resigning to take charge of the Oread Collegiate Institute in September, 1866. At the time of leav- ing the Worcester High School he received many letters from members of the committee and others, regretting his decision. One of the members writes of his work : "There is a freshness in his manner of teaching that gives a pleasure and a relish for labor to those under his instruction. I have observed more interest and enthusiasm in his classes, more variety under any one subject discussed, more thorough examination of the mat- ter in hand than I have met with elsewhere. Our High School scholars have not only been generally fortunate in entering college unconditioned, but they have remarkably retained and maintained their scholarship during their course, carrying off frequently the highest honors and prizes at Yale. Mr. Greene's love of language and its philosophy may be well called a passion." HARRIS R. GREENE AND HIS FAMILY. MR. GREENE. -MRS. GREENE. FANNIE. MRS. SEAMANS. ALICE. WILLIAM. HARRIS.

She writes : "To honor such par- entage, to prove worthy of the beautiful friendships with which God has enriched my life, most of all to 'walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing,' is a high and sacred duty, an ideal, unattained, unattainable, 1>nt always present fur inspiration, for patient effort, for undy- ing hope. If we are faithful in our place to-day, it may help someone else to be faithful somewhere else to-morrow. Is it not beautiful that we can thus react upon each other for good ?" To those of us who knew Miss Goddard, as teacher and friend, it is unnecessary to say that these words of hers portray her true character, noble in principle and ideals, faithful and conscientious as a teacher, and loving, sympathetic, and helpful as a friend. Her influence has been strong and ennobling in the lives of the many hundreds of girls whom she has helped to educate. Mei- present address is: Miss Mary C. C. Goddard, 196 Erie St., Cambridge, Mass.

Caroline Parkinson, who taught Science and History at the ( )read in 1&73-/S' ^" as born in Columbia, Coos County. X. H., October 13, 1821. Her father, Robert Parkinson, was the first settler of the town. He was a son of Henry Parkinson, a graduate of Princeton College, then Nassau Hall, in 1765. He distinguished himself as a scholar, and gave private instruction for a time after graduation. His original intention was to become a minister in the Presbyterian church, but there were some doctrinal tenets of this church which, at the time of his graduation, he could not accept, and he became a teacher. He took young men into his family and fitted them for college. Among the young men who studied with him were Ezekiel Webster and his brother Daniel. In the Revolutionary War he was Quartermaster under General Stark, and the intimate friendship thus formed between them lasted till death. The family were Scotch Presbyterians, and came from the north of Ireland, where Henry Parkinson was born. Three of his brothers are said to have been college graduates. **-. 264 Oread Collegiate Institute Robert Parkinson, Caroline's father, fitted himself for college, but his health did not allow him to enter, and he became a civil engineer. While surveying a large tract of unoccupied land for General Dix in northern New Hampshire, he selected a piece for himself in what is now Columbia, purchased it, and, having been married to Miss Elizabeth Kelso of New Boston, N. H., pro- ceeded to erect a house and bring the land under cultivation. Here he lived till he had six children. For many years there were no schools or churches in the region. Mrs. Parkinson, who had taught several seasons before her marriage, opened a school for her own and her neigh- bors' children in a new barn. Later the eldest daughter was sent away to a neighboring town to study in a minister's family. Mr. Parkinson suffered serious financial loss, partly as a result of having become surety for his brother-in-law, and partly in con- sequence of the embargo laid upon rail ships in Portland harbor, where " 7 he had placed a large amount of lumber to be exported to England, which the embargo made a total loss. He gave up his farm and moved to New Boston, where Caroline had the advantages of the district school. There was here also, as in many other New England towns at that period, a private school kept ten or twelve weeks every autumn, in which the higher branches were taught by some college grad- uate, or more often by some college student, trying to earn money to help him meet the expenses of his college course. After the death of Mrs. Parkinson in 1837, the father and the younger children went to live with the eldest son. then in busi- ness in Nashua. Here Caroline had the privileges offered by the Nashua Academy, at that time under the charge of David Crosby. Caroline Parkinson probably began her career as teacher in the district schools of New Boston. She came to Worcester in 1849 or ' 850, as a substitute in one of the grammar schools. She soon became a permanent teacher in this school, where she Teachers from 1864-1881 265 remained till she was called to the Oread. As a teacher she was quiet, retiring, unselfish, warm-hearted and conscientious, always keeping in mind her mother's principle, that the best education is the education of the heart. She continued her work at the Oread until failing health compelled her to give it up. She died in March, 1875. It was her wish that the money she had saved by teaching should be used in giving a college education to Robert P. Herrick and Edward F. Wheeler, that they might work in her place. Mr. Herrick was born Novem- ber 10, 1857, in Brooklyn, X. Y., and was graduated at Dart- mouth in 1880, and at Hartford Theological Seminary in 1883. He is now State Superintendent of Sunday Schools in Minne- sota. Dartmouth conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1903. Mr. Wheeler was born January 20, 1862, at Grafton, Yt., was graduated at Bowdoin in 1883, and at Hart- ford Theological Seminary in 1889, anc ^ ^ s now a minister in Newell, Iowa. In her last illness Miss Parkinson lived in the family of Mrs. F. C. P. Wheeler of Woburn, Mass., her sister, who writes : "In my long life I have never known a member of the human family who was more conscientious, or more careful to do the best she was capable of doing, in everything she attempted. She did not openly confess Christ until about i860. Her horror of hypocrisy kept her back. Her influence in a family of children was especially uplifting and refining." Prof. C. C. Stearns was born in Ashburnham, Mass., August 2^, 1838, and was the son of Charles and Rebecca Greene (Robbins) Stearns. He went to Worcester to live in 1859, and made that city his home until 1893. During that time he taught music in Worcester and was organist and director of music in a number of Protestant churches. He taught instrumental music at the Oread from 1864 to 1868. He was for many years one of the members of the Board of Government of the Worcester Festival. In 1877 he was one of the Conductors of the Festival, at which time a Mass com- posed by him was sung. He has also been Conductor of the Westboro Musical Society and of the Xorth Brookfield Musical S< icietv. 266 Oread Collegiate Institute He has written many musical criticisms and reviews of musi- cal work, and has also lectured on music. His musical compositions number many hundreds, his specialty being' church music, writ- ten for both the Protestant and the Catholic church. Of special excellence among his choir pieces are the following: "Praise the Lord Jehovah," "Blessed is the Man (Psalm I)," "Great is the Lord," "How Beautiful Upon the Mountains," "Sing and Rejoice," "P.enedictus," "God is our Hope and Strength," and "Glad Tidings of Great Joy," all published by the White-Smith Music Publishing Co. ( )f his compositions of secular music, his "Scenes from Nature: Six Musical Sketches," is worthy of special mention. On October 23, 1872, he was married to Miss Gertrude Bot- tomly of Leicester, Mass. They have no children. Since Professor Stearns left Worcester in 1893, he has resided in Santa Barbara, Cal., and Asheville, N. C. and is living at present in Sharon, Mass. Edwin Bruce Story was head of the Musical Department at the Oread from 1875 to 1879. He was born May 15, 1849, at Gloucester, Mass., and was the son of Cyrus and Catherine (Bruce) Story. He was married in Boston, January 15. [873, to Miss Helen E. Bobbins of Cambridge, and has two children, Marion Barnes and Helen Bruce, both bom in Worcester. Helen was graduated as Bachelor of Arts at Smith College in [901, and is now Instructor in Biblical Literature in that insti- tution. Teachers from 1864-1881 267 In 1879 Mr. Story was called to the Smith College School of Music as Instructor in Pianoforte Playing-, later he was also made Instructor of Theory, Harmony, and Organ Playing. In the newly organized Department of Music at Smith he became Associate Professor of Music, and head of the special depart- ment of Pianoforte. From 1880 to 1903 he was teacher of Pianoforte in the Mary A. Burnham School in Northampton, and from 1884 to the present time he has been teacher of Pianoforte, Theory, and Harmonv in "The Elms," a young ladies' school in Springfield. He is also Director of the Analysis Class at "The Elms." where he has given two hundred and thirty programs of pianoforte music, including over one thousand compositions. Since 1881 he has served as Organist and Choir Master of the Edwards Church at Northampton. In 1898 he received an invitation to become the head of the Department of Music at Whitman Col- lege, 'Walla Walla. Wash. In 1889 he was elected Fellow of the American College of Musicians. Address : Smith College, Northampton, Mass. Marion Josephine (Howard) Sumner, born July 8, 1823. in Enfield, Mass., was married August 24. 1846. to William Sumner of Worcester. The goal of her childish ambition was to study music, and, although there seemed little chance of its accom- plishment in the strenuous life she- was obliged to lead on the farm as the ward of a bachelor uncle, she never lost sight of her object. It was only after teaching several terms in district schools, following her own attendance at the acad- emies in Westfield and Monson, that her great desire was realized, and she went to Worcester and began her musical studies. She soon se- cured a church position, and was making good progress in her chosen art when she lost her voice completely. After years of the greatest perseverance on her part, and through the skillful training of one of her teachers. :68 Oread Collegiate Institute she partially regained her voice, and fitted herself for a vocal teacher. It was perhaps to this experience — which at the time seemed to put an end to all possibility of a musical career — that she owes her great success as a teacher. She overcame the greatest obstacles herself, and knew better how to help others on that account. She was one of the earliest teachers of music in the Worces- ter public schools, and filled the same position in many of the best private schools of the city, among them being Miss Albee's School, the Oread High School, and the Oread Collegiate Insti- tute. For twenty years — till advancing age compelled her to give it up — she had charge of the music at the graduating exer- cises of the Worcester Normal School, and she was largely instrumental in establishing in 1872 the Worcester County Music School, which is still conducted by her son. Of Mrs. Sumner's three children, the eldest, George William, who died August 14, 1890, was one of the most promising of the younger Boston musicians of his day. Edward Ludwig is at the head of the Worcester County Music School, and Ellie Josephine, a pupil at the Oread in 1871-72, was married to Frederick J. Shepard, and lives in Buffalo, N. Y.

John Wil- liams married Sarah Davis of Holden, and moved to Hubbard- ston, where the remainder of his life was spent, and where George Williams, Miss Williams' father, was born, lived and died. Miss Williams received her education in the academies at Xew Salem and Leicester. She early became a teacher at the Thomas Street Grammar School in Worcester under Harris R. Greene as principal, and after- wards taught in the Classical High School under the same principal. She taught for some time in the Oread High and Grammar School on Main street., where boys were fitted for college, and subsequently became Oread Preceptress under Mr. Greene, which position she held in 1871-73. Before this she had visited Europe and the Conti- nent, traveling extensively until the early part of the year 1871. Subsequently she established a school for girls in Worcester, under the name of "Miss Wil- liams' School for Girls," and continued in that position until about six years ago, when her housekeeper and sister, Susan M. Williams, died. She then gave up her school and has since been living in Williamsville in Hubbardston, the place of her birth, in a quiet and unostentatious way. Many compliments have been paid her among the business men of the present time, who feel grateful to her for their early intellectual training. In Mr. Alfred S.

Lizzie Thurber, who was perhaps her most intimate friend, has paid the following tribute to her memory : "Blanche was lovely in person as in character. Her sweet, expressive face, 300 Oread Collegiate Institute about which clustered graceful curls of soft auburn hair, mirrored the thoughts and emotions of her pure mind. She was endowed with rare poetic talent, an artist's appreciation of the beautiful, and an unusual aptitude for acquiring knowledge. She was refined, gentle and affectionate. United to her many winning qualities of mind and heart was an unwavering stead- fastness of purpose. She was impelled to intense application in her studies by the desire to be thoroughly qualified for her chosen profession, that she might the sooner be in a position to provide for her widowed mother in her declining years. "Shortly after her graduation she obtained a position as teacher in the city of Chicago. But her health, always fragile, had been seriously impaired by her previous application while a student, and after a few weeks of brave struggling she returned to Worcester with but slight hope of recovery. Not- withstanding her hearty enjoyment of life and her intense devo- tion to her mother she meekly and cheerfully submitted to the will of her Heavenly Father, realizing beneath her the 'ever- lasting arms,' as she wrote to a distant friend during her painful illness. "Among the sorrowing friends gathered about her casket were several dear old ladies, telling with deep feeling of her loving ministrations. She had found time amid her manifold duties to visit them, to read to them and to cheer their lonely lives by her ready sympathy and welcome presence." In two lines of the parting song which Blanche wrote for the commencement in 1871, she unconsciously struck the key- note of her own beautiful character, — "To love and to bless, this is woman's sweet task In a world of discomfort and strife."

OREAD CASTLE IN 1905 Although the Oread Institute of Domestic Science, which now occupies Oread Castle, has no connection whatever with the Oread Collegiate Institute, — and cannot, in fact, even right- fully call itself the latter's successor, since an interval of seven- teen years elapsed between the closing of the one and the opening of the other — yet Oread Castle is Oread Castle still to all who ever knew and loved it, and a brief account of its modern occupant and the changes which have taken place in the Castle and its surroundings in the past few years cannot fail to be of interest to all who knew it in former days. The earliest pupils of the school will not recognize the but- tressed wall and entrance way of heavy stone masonry which appear in the view of the Castle shown in the frontispiece, but this is not a modern addition. It was built in the late sixties or early seventies. The riding amphitheatre and stone barn, also, were removed at an early date. The proprietor of the present school has made no changes in the front of the Oread, but an addition begun by Air. Thayer (see illustration) in the rear of the building has been enlarged and completed by him. This addition is two stories high. The first floor contains an archway for carriages, or parte cochcre, and the heating and lighting apparatus ; the second is used for bath rooms. Back of the Oread, towards the north, stands a long, low, wooden build- ing which is used as a riding school. The well-known "Ledge'' has been partially removed, and on the summit of what remains has been erected an iron lattice-work tower, surmounted by several large electric lights, the whole being used for illumi- nating purposes solely. Inside, the building has been remodelled and fitted out with all the modern conveniences, but perhaps the most important change is the one alluded to in Miss Bugbee's poem, read at the Reunion of 1904: 29 45 o Oread Collegiate Institute "And the Chapel, where at morn and eve The Oreads knelt to pray. Is the modern schoolgirl's kitchen now. 'So runs the world away !' " This kitchen laboratory (see illustration) occupies two stories of the South Tower, the floor between having been removed, and a balcony for spectators encircles the room at about the height of the second story. Another whole floor in one of the large towers is used for a gymnasium. The purpose of Mr. Henry D. Perky in founding this school was, as is expressed in the catalogue, "to provide practical teachers of a practical domestic science." He wished to help supply the lack, not provided for in the modern system of education, of trained workers and thinkers along domestic lines. As Mr. Thayer, in an age when domestic training was considered the most essential thing in a girl's education, strove to show the value of the trained intellect for girls as well as for boys, so Mr. Perky, with almost exactly the opposite ideal, strives to show the. value of a domestic training in an age which puts a high estimate on a purely literary and scien- tific education. The school offers a one year's course, and instruction is given in all branches of Domestic Science ; — Cooking, Sewing, Household Economics, Sanitation, the Chem- istry of Foods, Bacteriology, etc., as well as in such studies as Psychology and Pedagogy. The graduating classes number about fifty girls, who come from all over the United States. Certain courses are open to those who are not candidates for a diploma, so the school averages considerably more than fifty pupils. It was closed during the year 1904-05, but will be opened again in the fall of 1905. HISTORY OF THE OREAD COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE ASSOCIATION As has been recorded, the Oread Collegiate Institute went out of existence in 1881, but although it had no longer a visible form, its memory was cherished by hundreds of its pupils. Xo girl can ever quite forget the school where she spent the days of her young maidenhood, nor cease to be grateful for the pleasure and benefit which came to her within its walls. Twenty years after the doors of the Oread were closed, the still active love and loyalty of the Oreades to their Alma Mater found expression in the formation of an Oread Collegiate Institute Association. This association did not spring into existence full-fledged, but was the outgrowth of a plan formed by Miss Anna M. Bancroft, in the winter of 1901, for a reunion of her old class (the graduating class of 1871). She asked the assistance of her classmates, Mrs. Laura Merriam Mayo and Mrs. Nellie Gilbert Pervear, and plans were on foot for this reunion, when a sug- gestion was made by Miss Bancroft's sister, Mrs. Mary Ban- croft Winsor of the class of 1875, that the plan be given a wider scope, and that the reunion be not of one class alone, but include all former Oread pupils and teachers. This scheme was a bold one, but, nothing daunted, the four above mentioned with four others. Mrs. Harriet Boynton Gunnison, Miss Anna M. Seaver, Mrs. Ida Boyden Day, and Mrs. Caroline Raymond Perkins, started on the difficult preliminary task of making a list of former < (read pupils and finding out their present addresses. They discovered that all the school registers had been destroyed, and that there was no file of catalogues. But with the help of the few catalogues then in their possession, and after untiring efforts along every possible line — writing- countless letters, making inquiries of friends, and even adver- tising in the Worcester papers — a considerable number of Oread 45 2 Oread Collegiate Institute pupils were found. October 10, 1901, was appointed as the date of the reunion, and about two hundred invitations were sent out. The First Meeting. In the morning' of October 10 many of the Oreades who had been bidden to the reunion availed themselves of the permission granted by the management of the Oread School of Domestic Science, to inspect the building and grounds of Oread Castle. This visit did not fail to arouse many pleasant memories of the days of old and to intensify the already strong feeling of love and loyalty in the hearts of the Oreades. The reunion was held at the Bay State House, Worcester. After an informal reception, luncheon was served to about sixty former Oread pupils and teachers. Mrs. Eli Thayer, wife of the founder of the Institute, was the guest of honor. A business meeting followed. At this meeting a permanent association was formed, with the following officers : President Miss Anna M. Bancroft. Vice-Presidents Mrs. Laura Spelman Rockefeller. Miss Elizabeth D. Bugbee. Mrs. Grace Weston Allen. Recording Secretary Mrs. Caroline Raymond Perkins. Corresponding Secretary Miss Anna M. Seaver. Treasurer Mrs. Ida Boyden Day. Directors Mrs. Harriet Boynton Gunnison. Mrs. Laura Merriam Mayo. Miss Ida M. Thayer. Brief addresses were given by Miss Bancroft, Mrs. Winsor, Mrs. Gunnison and Mrs. Day. Miss Bancroft told how the plan to form an Oread Association was started, Mrs. Winsor gave an account of the founding of the school and facts in the life of Mr. Thayer, its founder. Mrs. Gunnison gave a report from the class of 1861 (which at this time was thought to be the first graduating class), and Mrs. Day gave a historical paper, containing many valuable statistics. After the reading' of several enthusiastic letters from old Oread pupils and teachers who were unable to be present, the meeting adjourned. Second Annual Meeting. The second annual meeting of the ( )read Collegiate Institute Association was held in Colonial Hall, Worcester, on October j 1, 1902. After an informal reception, luncheon was served, to Oread Collegiate Institute Association ,',55 which one hundred and twenty-eight persons sat down. A roll- call followed the luncheon. At the business meeting in the after- noon a Constitution and By-Laws were presented by the Execu- tive Board, and adopted by the Association. The Correspond- ing Secretary made a noteworthy report, showing that a list of 1,413 former pupils of the Oread had been gathered together, and the present addresses of about eight hundred of these found. It was voted that this list of names and addresses be printed, with the Constitution and By-laws.* The President then presented to the Association for action a suggestion that had been made that a book be printed, containing a history of the Oread and biographical records of as many of its former teachers and pupils as possible. The discussion which fol- lowed seemed to favor this project, and the matter was referred to a committee, consisting of the Executive Board and two others, Airs. Martha Burt Wright and Airs. Harriet Westbrook Dunning. j A suggestion had been made that the Association adopt a pin, and Miss Ida M. Thayer reported as to cost, design, etc4 The board of officers which had served for the preceding year was re-elected. A brief literary program followed. Mrs. Clara Thayer Perry reported for the class of 1865 and Mrs. Martha Burt Wright for the class of 1871. Mrs. Winsor read a letter from Mrs. Abbie Jones Hayward, giving a short sketch of the history of the class of 1875. Miss Mary C. C. Goddard, an Oread teacher of 1865-73, gave some delightful reminiscences of the school as she knew it, and Mrs. Laura Goodnow Mattoon, assisted by Mrs. Day at the piano, entertained the Association with a clever monologue. After singing a verse of "Auld Lang Syne" the company broke up. * This little document appeared two or three months later, is known to members of the Association as the "Year Book," and has proved of inestimable value to all who have had a part in compiling this History. f At a meeting of this Committee held on November 7, 1902, Mrs. Wright was appointed Editor of this History, and Miss Bancroft Associate Editor. X After it was definitely decided to publish a History, the plans for an Association pin were temporarily dropped. 454 Oread Collegiate Institute Third Annual Meeting. The third annual meeting of the Oread Collegiate Institute Association was held at the Woman's Club, Worcester, on October 10, 1903. Contrary to the custom hitherto followed, the business meeting was held before the luncheon. The meet- ing was called to order at 11 o'clock. The officers who had served the Association for the preceding two years were again re-elected. An amendment to the Constitution, changing the time of the annual meeting of the Association from the second Saturday to the second Friday in October, was proposed and adopted. A motion was made and carried that the next annual meeting should be "Family Day," that is, that the members should be asked to bring their husbands and children to the luncheon. Letters were read from Mrs. Mary Tolman Bradt and Airs. Juliet Pattison Kline. It was voted to send news- paper reports of the meeting to all invalid members of the Association. A report of the progress of the Oread History work was read by the Editor. Mrs. Wright. Luncheon was served to about one hundred and forty. This was followed by the roll-call. A poem, "Now and Then," written by Miss Elizabeth D. Bugbee, was read by Miss Ban- croft, and responses were given to the following toasts : "Our First Graduates," by Airs. S. Jane Wheelock Hickok (class of 1854). "The Class of 1856,'' by Mrs. Mary Frances Gilman Peirce (class of 1856). "The Class of 1873," letter read from Miss Emma R. Ross of that class, who was in Manila, P. I. "Our History," by Airs. Martha Burt Wright. "Our Future," by Mrs. Mary Bancroft Winsor. The meeting adjourned after singing "Auld Lang Syne." Fourth Annual Meeting. Most persistent efforts had been made to have this meeting held at Oread Castle itself, which was at this time unoccupied, but the necessary arrangements could not be made, and the meeting was held at the Bay State House on October 14, 1904. At the business meeting which was held in the morning, the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing vear: Oread Collegiate Institute Association 455 President Miss Elizabeth D.
