 In the endeavor to reach this, the Committee has exhausted every 
 available source of information, but is painfully conscious that the 
 first reader may detect something that has been overlooked, or stated 
 incorrectly. If each person who discovers an error, or is possessed 
 of information beyond that which is given, in regard to any pupil of 
 the School whose name is recorded here, will at once notify the

 PREFACE, 
 
 Ox the twenty-third day of April, 1885, the two hundred and 
 fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the Boston Public Latin 
 School was celebrated in the new School House on Warren Avenue, 
 At the end of its first quarter-millenium, the Committee to Avhich 
 had been entrusted the preparation of this Catalogue has great 
 pleasure in offering it to the ]3ui3ils of the School, and to all who 
 are interested in the annals of the town and city of Boston as a 
 fit memorial of its oldest School. 
 
 It may seem a long period since this work was begun by the 
 Committee. But as W( have said, once and again, in our annual 
 reports, it was not worth doing at all unless we did it as well as we 
 could. What we have desired was to make the best Catalogue jiossi- 
 ble of the teachers and scholars of the School since the beginning. 
 New material has offered itself once and again, sometimes from 
 unexpected sources; yet the elucidation of the broken record has 
 always required, as will readily be seen, careful research, and one 
 obdurate name, for which there was any hope of more light, has 
 often set back the compiler many weeks in the work of printing. 
 
 Frequently when a page has been supposed to be complete, new 
 information has been received, which has required all that had been 
 done to be cast away and the whole work to be begun afresh, thus 
 greatly adding to the labor and increasing the cost of the book ; and 
 if any investigator, searching the Records of the Association, thinks 
 the expenses of the years during which this Catalogue has been in 
 press, have been unduly exorbitant, he can justly ascribe them to the 
 cost of correcting old or doing new work which was made necessary 
 by the acquisition of important information for the Catalogue, which 
 arrived too late to be used in the original i^reparation of the pages. 
 
 (iii) 
 
So cart-less was the ]»a8t in preserving lists of school-boys, that 
 when the Latin School Association was formed, as lately ^is 18-14, we 
 had no catalogue of our former scholars. At that time the late 
 Judge Davis gave to one of the officers of the Association a transcript 
 which James Lovell had made, in his own handwriting, from John 
 Lovell's comj)lete list of the boys who were under his instruction 
 from 1734 to 1774. Mr. William Bentley Fowle furnished a copy 
 made from the same list, by the Rev. Dr. Homer of Newton, of our 
 Class of 17G6. From these two cojiies from Jolm Lovell's list, from 
 one or two manuscript lists of particular years in Master Hunt's and 
 Master Biglow's rule, and the printed Annual Catalogues which 
 began in 1S19 under Master Gould, the Committee appointed at an 
 early meeting of the Association, based their work. They had no 
 list before Lovell's appointment in 1734, and they had long gaps 
 between the day of the battle of Lexington in 1775 and Mr. Gould's 
 appointment in 1S19. That Committee published in 1847 these lists, 
 with such additions as they had been able to make from other quar- 
 ters. It will be seen that almost everything before 1734, and every- 
 thing between 1774 and 1814 was necessarily fragmentary. But Mr. 
 Gould and Mr, Dillaway, for their sketches of the history of the 
 School, had collected quite full memoranda of the names of the 
 teachers. 
 
 That Committee, therefore, very properly called its work, published 
 in 1847, "Materials for a Catalogue of the Masters and Scholars who 
 have belonged to the Public Latin School, Boston, Massachusetts, 
 from 1035 to 1846." In tlieir preface they acknowledged its frag- 
 mentary character, and pointed out the sources where light might be 
 looked for, and urged its completion. 
 
 In the year 1875 a fortunate stimulus was given to such study in 
 the discovery by Mr. E. S. Dixwell of the full Catalogue of Samuel 
 Hunt, including the boys who were under him, both at the North 
 Grammar School, and after his transfer to our School. The same 
 manuscript showed that the holiday after the battle of Lexington 
 was not so long as had been sujjposed, but that the School was 
 ©ijened again immediately after "Washington's entrance into the town. 
 Encouraged ))y this happy discovery, the Association at once ordered 
 tlie ])re]iaration of a new and enlarged Catalogue, and appointed for 
 the ]mr]»oso a special Connnittee, of which Edward E. Hale was 
 made Chairman, and tlio late Joseph Healy, then Secretary of the 
 Latin School Associati<m, Secretary. This Committee was authorized 
 to add to its own numbei*, and has been continued from year to year 
 
to the present time, and has consisted of the following gentlemen 
 beside those named above : Epes Sargent Dixwell, the Rev, Cazneau 
 Palfrey, D.D., Moses Merrill, Ph.D., John J. May, John D. Bryant, 
 Prof. Henry W. Haynes, William T. R. Marvin, Horace E. Sciidder, 
 Rev. Henry F. Jenks, John T. Hassam, J. Russell Reed, and 
 Grenville PI. Norcross. 
 
 We have felt ourselves fortunate in being able to entrust the 
 details of our work to one of our number, the Rev. Henry F. Jenks, 
 of our Class of 1854, whose historical tastes admirably qualified him 
 to undertake it; so that while all the members of the Committee 
 have aided as they could, it has been understood on all hands that 
 the research, the compilation, and the preparation for printing have 
 been the especial charge of Mr. Jenks, with whom this has been, we 
 will not say a labor, but, almost entirely, a work of love. 
 
 Meanwhile, in determining who is who, in lists of boys whose sur- 
 names only are recorded, — and in dating rightly their entrances and 
 their exits on our stage, new materials for our modest history have 
 been gathered. In publishing the Catalogue of our boys, the Com- 
 mittee has determined to publish also these memoirs of the School's 
 life. From various reports to the Association, from public addresses 
 and articles in the journals, Mr. Jenks has collected and preserved 
 such memorials, and we print them in this book as the proper intro- 
 duction to the Catalogue of our Alumni. 
 
 There is still the possibility that other gajDS in our record may yet 
 be filled. Some lad in New Hampshire, looking under the eaves for 
 a bit of paper-hanging with which to make a bob-tail for his kite, 
 may light on a precious scroll with the names of Pormort's boys and 
 Maude's. A letter from Fairfax to Essex, in the heat of the English 
 civil war, may prove to have been written on the back of a list of 
 Woodbridge's scholars sent from John Hull's father to General 
 Sedgwick. A Judge of Probate in Indiana may find Woodmansey's 
 catalogue tied in with the inventory of the estate of Susan Stoddard. 
 Among the Tomsons of Alaska there may be found the precious 
 parchment-covered book, in which Benjamin Tompson preserved the 
 names of his pupils. But these prosj^ects are so vague, that it has 
 not seemed best to defer printing what we have, in hope of their 
 realization. Still serious search ought to be made by all those 
 numerous descendants who are proud to call Ezekiel Cheever and 
 Nathaniel Williams ancestors, — for the list which Cheever began, and 
 which his successor doubtless continued. However vague the hopes 
 for the earlier years, it is more than probable that these catalogues 
 
VI PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 even yet exist to furnish to Mr. Jenks new material for his untiring 
 industry. 
 
 Many of the gentlemen whose names are recorded on pages x and 
 xi as having aided the Committee which prepared the Catalogue of 
 1847 were still living when the present work was undertaken, and 
 have placed its successors imder equal obligations which mc are 
 glad to acknowledge. "Whatever assistance we have sought, has been 
 rendered with alacrity and interest, whether we have applied to 
 our fellow j^upils, or to those whose only interest in the School was 
 because it was the Alma Mater of some ancestor or descendant, 
 or a cherished institution of their native town. Among those pupils 
 of the School who have died during the progress of tlie work, who 
 have taken especial pains to supply us with information, are the 
 Rev. John L. "Watson, D. D., formerly of Boston, and subsequently 
 of Orange, N. J., of our Class of 1805, and Ebenezer Tliayer, of 
 Brooklyn, N. Y., of our Class of 1806. The latter, who was born 
 in the shadow of the first School-house on the present site of the 
 Parker House in School Street, was particularly solicitous to have 
 the engraving presented of that building, which was drawn from 
 description, correspond with his recollections, and again and again 
 forwarded to us rough jDlans and carefully scrutinized the artist's 
 work. Among the living, thanks are due to ex-Head Master Charles 
 K. Dillaway, Prof. Henry W. Torrey, who carefully read the proof 
 sheets of the Historical Sketch, Samuel F. McCleary, and Thomas 
 Gaffield, the latter of whom collected a large sum of money to meet 
 the cost of publication, and many others. Of gentlemen, never pupils 
 of the School, the Committee has received much valuable assistance 
 from the Hon. Samuel A. Green, M. D., ex-Mayor of Boston, the 
 Hon. Thomas C. Amory, the Hon. Mellen Chamberlain, the Rev. 
 John Langdon Sibley, Augustus T. Perkins, Clement Hugh Hill and 
 John Ward Dean. 
 
 The Committee has been in correspondence with gentlemen who 
 graduated in 1835, and cannot learn that any note of tlie Second 
 Centennial was taken in tlie public exercises of the day of their 
 graduation. It may be feared that the Centennial of 1735 ])assed 
 equally unnoticed.

BOSTON PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 The Boston Public Latin School is the oldest educational institu- 
 tion, with continuous existence, in the country. It antedates 
 Harvard College by some years, and from the time when the earliest 
 students received their preparation for college at the School, and thus 
 justified the remark of a well-known graduate of both, that " the Latin 
 School dandled Harvard College on her knees," down to the 
 present, the stream of pupils, passing from one to the other, now 
 narrowed now widened, has never ceased, and the names of not a 
 few of the most distinguished graduates of the College, who have 
 done her honor in literature, art, science, or jDolitics, are borne upon 
 the rolls of the School, which also claims a share in their glories, 
 a reflection of the lustre of their names. 
 
 It was founded by an agreement among the first citizens of Boston, 
 led by the first Governor, Winthrop .... From this establishment, 
 itself the example and seed corn, the whole American system of free 
 education grew. There is, indeed, fair reason for question whether 
 that system would ever have taken on its breadth of range if this 
 school, the first free school, had not at the very beginning been a 
 school for the higher education, instead of one confined merely to the 
 elements of instruction. Among the theorists of to-day there is a 
 handful who argue that the utmost the State is bound to furnish to 
 its children is a knowledge of the three R's; that the study of the 
 classics, of the higher mathematics, and sciences, is to be classed among 
 specialties, and as the State does not teach its children how to play 
 the organ, or how take a j^hotograph, it ought not to teach them 
 Latin, or Greek, or algebra. But John Winthrop and the other 
 founders had no such doubts. Their wish and determination was to 
 beat Satan in each and all of his lairs, and, knowing that ignorance 
 was the darkest of these lairs, into that first they threw the light 
 from their reflectors. As the j^oorest boy in the meanest hovel on 
 the unknown slope of Beacon Hill might prove to be he who should 
 
 (5)

 have the best gift for language, to that boy also as a matter of the 
 common defence, and for the general welfare, should the classical 
 languages be tauglit at the common charge. 
 
 Governor "NVinthrop's History makes no reference to the planting 
 of the first free school, but under date of 1645 we find : 
 
 Divers free schools were erected, as at Roxbury (for maintenance whereof 
 every inhabitant bound some house or hmd for a yearly allowance forever), 
 and at Boston (where they made an order to allow forever 50 pounds to the 
 master and an house, and 30 pounds to an usher, who should also teach to 
 read and write and cijjher, and Indians' children were to be taught freely), 
 and the charge to be by yearly contribution, either by voluntary allowance, 
 or by rate of such as refused, etc., and this order was contirmed by the 
 General Court. Other towns did the like, providing maintenance by several 
 means. WinthroiiS Uistory of N. E.,u,p. 215. 
 
 In 1647 the General Court passed the following order establishing 
 free schools, the preamble giving the reason for requiring that they 
 should be classical schools : 
 
 It being one chief project of the old deluder, Satan, to keep men from 
 the knowledge of the Scriptm-es, as, in former times, by keeping them in an 
 xmknown tongue, so, in tliese latter times, by persuading from the use of 
 tongues, that so at least tlie ti-ue sense and meaning of tlie original might be 
 clouded by false gloss of saint-seeming deceivers ; now, tliat learning may 
 not be buried in the gi-ave of our fathers, in the Church and Commonwealth, 
 the Lord assisting our endeavors ; 
 
 It is, therefore, ordered, tliat every township in this jurisdiction, after the 
 Lord hath increased tliem to the number of fifty householders, shall then 
 forthwitli appoint one witliin their town to teach all such children as shall 
 
 resort to huu, to write and read and it is fuither ordoi'ed, that, 
 
 where any town shall increase to the number of one hundred families or 
 householders, they shall set up a grammar school, the master thereof being 
 able to msti'uct youth so far as tliey may be fitted for tlie university, pro- 
 vided tliat if any to^vn neglect the performance hereof above one year, that 
 every such town shall pay £5 to the next school, till they shall perform this 
 order.* 
 
 In 1679 a recommendation was passed that those Avho send their 
 children to school, and are able to pay something, shall contribute for 
 the encouragement of the master. At the same time it is provided 
 that Indian children shall be taught gratis. 
 
 *Mr. Geo. B. Emcrsoa in his lecture in the MoasacbusctU Historical Society's volume 
 on the Early History of MassuchusctUt says : A grammar school was then understood to be 
 a school iu wliich the Latin ami Greek languages wore taught. 
 
HISTOKICAL SKETCH. 
 
 The following interesting article by the Rev. Robert C. Waterston, 
 in the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society for Feb- 
 ruary, 1873, gives reasons for believing that the establishment of 
 this School was largely due to the influence of the Rev. John Cot- 
 ton, who came to this country in 1633 from Boston in Lincolnshire, 
 England. 
 
 On the fourth day of September, 1633, in the shij) ' Griffin,' of three 
 hundred tons, came, among others, John Cotton, who for many years had 
 been a powerful and intiuential pi'eacher in connection with St. Botolph's in 
 Boston, Lincohishire. He was in eveiy respect a man of mark, and destined 
 to exert a powerful influence upon these shores. 
 
 It Avas acknowledged that his coming formed a new era in the history of 
 the colony. In the language of Dr. Increase Mather, " Botla Bostons have 
 reason to honor his memory, and New England most of all, which oweth its 
 name and being to him more than to any other person in the world." 
 
 This, then is a fact worthy of observation ; two years after the arrival of 
 John Cotton, (or, strictly speaking, one year and five mouths) we find the 
 establishment of a free school, and this school we know to be the Latin 
 School, whose history continues to this day, and whose prosperity and 
 efficiency were never greater than at the present time. One peculiar fact in 
 the establishment of this first free school was, that usual methods are re- 
 versed ; our fathers did not commence with a school for elementary insti'uc- 
 tion ; they provided at the very beginning for the higher branches of study. 
 
 Now, I think it is interestmg to ask if there are any reasons why it 
 would be natural to comiect the establishment of this School with John Cot- 
 ton? One sti'ong reason for so doing would be, that he was not only 
 distinguished, before he came to these shores, for ability and learning, 
 but fi'om the moment he landed here he was miiversally welcomed and 
 became the acknowledged centre of vast influence both in ecclesiastical and 
 civil aftairs. Thus it was that the famous Thursday Lecture, which all 
 through our early colonial history held so conspicuous a place, and also the 
 accompanying Market Day, sanctioned by order of the Court, had their 
 origin in him ; and they both alike had their antecedents in his jjersonal 
 experience at Boston in Lincolnshire. Was there then anything correspond- 
 ing with the idea of such a school as this earliest school, at Boston, in Lin- 
 colnshire, where for so many years Cotton had labored ? 
 
 As early as 1554, Queen Mary, in the fii'st year of her reign, made a grant 
 to the corporation of Boston, "/or the xncr];)Ose of establishing and maintain- 
 ing a Free Grammar School in the town." Thus we know as a matter of 
 history, that there was a Fi'ee Grammar School in Boston, Lincolnshire. 
 
 But is there any reason to supj)ose that Latin was taught in such a school ? 
 It may be said in answer : This is the last thing which one might expect 
 would be taught in a school so established. Yet in the Corporation Records 
 (some of which I personally examined on a visit to that ancient place) there 
 is this cm'ious entry, which proves to us that Latin was taught. 
 
PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 In 1578 it was agi'ecd that a " Dictionarye shall be bought for }"« Scollars 
 of y« Free Scoole and the same boke to l)e tjed in a cheyne and set upon a 
 deske in y« scoole whereunto any scoller may have accesse as occasion shall 
 serve ;'' and in IGOl the Corporation purchased two dictionaiies — one Greek, 
 tlie other Liitiu — for the school, " the schoolmaster to keep the same /or the 
 use of the scholars.'''' 
 
 Thus we find that in Boston, Lincolnshire, tliere was a Free Grammar 
 School, in which Latin and Greek were taught, and it is natural to presume 
 Unit a lover of learning like Cotton, who had been appointed to the Vicai-age 
 of that town in 1612, and had been active there in all good ways and works 
 for more tlian twenty yeai'S, should have been not only acquainted but very 
 familiar witii such a school. Still, if there were no evidence of such a 
 knowledge on Cotton's part, it would be mere conjecture with us. Is there, 
 then, any positive evidence that John Cotton did know of this school? 
 Singularly enough I find this record : — 
 
 " In 1613 a committee consisting of Dr. Baron, Rev. Joirx Cottok, and 
 two others, was appointed to examine Mr- Emnitli and report whether he be 
 fit to exercise the office of Usher in this school." 
 
 Thus we have direct proof that the Rev. John Cotton was so identified in 
 thought with that school that he was nominated to examine an usher, and 
 decide upon liis fitness for the place ! 
 
 Leaving, then, England, as he did, in 1633, and exchanging the Old for 
 the New World, how natural that this scholar (wlio had gi*aduated from 
 Trinity College, Camljridge. and had afterwards been elected to a fellowship 
 in Emmanuel College), taking up his abode here in this then almost wilder- 
 ness settlement, should have recalled all tliat Wiis precious in his memoiy, 
 as suggestive of what might — in some larger and better way — become 
 ti'ansplanted here. 
 
 Thus, the old Lectui'e, dear for so many j'cars, when the Thursday came 
 round, would recur to Jiis mind, ^^^ly should he, then, not have a similar 
 lecture here? The oMurket Day, when tlic people gathered from the eountiy 
 around, buying and selling commodities — why not have that also? As soon 
 as suggested, the Couit approved ; and this also became as important a fact on 
 this side of the Atlantic as it had been on the other. In the same way when 
 he saw tlie children growing up, he thought of the school, the free school, to 
 which all could go; and with his own love for classical literature, and his 
 partiality for the i^rivileges of a collegiate education, the memory of a free 
 gi'annnar school, where Latin and Greek were taught, may have risen in his 
 mind, and he may have said. Here also, where the trees of the forest are not 
 yet felled, and the wild Indian is at our doors, hero let such a school be 
 established, to become as gootl, and as much better as wo can m:ike it. And let 
 that one be the forerunner of a thousand more that shall follow — free for all, 
 and where not only the simple rudiments of learning may be st-iured, but 
 some rea-sonable introductory knowledge, at least, of the ancient languages. 
 
 There is another coincitlenco l)etween John Cotton's new and old homo. 
 The records of the English Boston of 1642, show that the m:ister of the 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. 
 
 gi-ammar school had "a house rent free;" and in the American Boston 
 we find that, in 1645, it was ordei-ed that fifty pounds be allowed to the 
 master, and " a house for him to live in." 
 
 As an indication of how small a place Boston was at that period, it is 
 only necessary to remember that, although the inhabitants were character- 
 ized by their religious zeal, one small meeting-house answered for the whole 
 community, and continued to do so until 1648. The simplicity of their first 
 place of worship is suggested by the fact that it had "mud walls and a 
 thatched roof." This primitive building, situated on what is now the south 
 side of State Street, was replaced by a more commodious wooden structure 
 in 1640, in Washington sti'eet, nearly opposite State street, which edifice 
 lasted seventy years, when it was destroyed by fire. During 1631 only 
 ninety persons came over from England, and in 1632 not above two hundred 
 and fifty new settlers arrived. Thus the one Free School, dating from 1635, 
 answered the need of the people, not only at that time, but for forty years 
 after. In a community so limited, every suggestion, from a man of the 
 acquirements and influence of John Cotton, must have had great weight. 
 We can, therefore, hardly imagine that such a school as this could have been 
 established without his active co-operation, and we think we have given some 
 verj'' conclusive evidence that this School may have owed its origin to him 
 more, perhaps, than to any one else. 
 
 Mr. Cotton's first child, a son, born at sea, on board the "Griffin," had 
 received on that account the name of " Seaborn." A father's thoughts would 
 even more impulsively turn to the education of the young. Cotton died 
 Dec. 23, 1652, fi-om illness caused by exposure in crossing the ferry over 
 Charles River, being on his way to preach to the students at Cambridge. 
 
 After his death it was found that, on certain contingencies, he had ar- 
 ranged by his will, that one-half of his whole estate should revert to Har- 
 vard College, and the other half be devoted to the support of the Free 
 School in Boston. Thus we have most satisfactory evidence of the deep 
 and abidmg interest cherished by John Cotton in whatever pertained to

 Mr. Gould, writing of the early history of the School, in the fourth 
 number of the Prize Book^ says : — 
 
 The General Court of Massachusetts having at a previous period 
 granted to the Town of Boston several of the Islands in the harbor, 
 the Records state, that, in 1641 : — " This 10th of the 11th moneth. 
 It's ordered that Deare Island shall be improved for the maintenance of 
 a Free schoole for the Towne, and such other occasions as the Townsmen for 
 the time being shall thinke meet, the sayde schoole being sufficiently pro- 
 vided for." Capt. Edward Gibbon was soon after intrusted with the care

 and use of the island, " until the Towne doe let the same."* Accordingl}' in 
 1644 it was let for throe years, at the rate of seven pounds per anniun. 
 expressly for the use of the School. t In li]-i7, at the expiration of tliis lease, 
 it was again let for seven j-ears, and the rent was now " fourteen i)ound per 
 annuiu for the scoole's use in provision and clothing !'' X This lease was extended 
 in 164:8 to twenty-one years, at tlie same rate of rent.§ The next year Long

 Selectmen were to take order tliat they be leased, paying a yearly rent on 
 every acre, rated afterwards as sixpence, for the use of the School. 
 
 It seems to have been the design of the community to endow their Free 
 School, as they delight to name it,* with bequests in their wills, lands x'ented 
 on long leases, and similar sources of income, in preference to a direct 
 support fi'om the public treasury. Thus, in 1649, Wm. Phillips " agreed to 
 give ISs. id., per ann. forever to the use of the Schole for the land that 
 Christopher Stanley gave in his will to the Schol's use.'''t Forty shillings 
 per annum for tlae same use were secured by lease of 500 acres of land at 
 Braintree, J and several other sums on different lands belonging to the Town,§ 
 at about the same date. 
 
 * Mr. Henry Barnard, in an article on EzEKIEL Cheever in the first volume of the Amer- 
 ican Journal of Education, (p. 299, et seq.,) explains that 
 
 The Free Schools of England were originally established in towns where there was no 
 old Conventual, Cathedral, Royal, or Endowed Grammar School. With very few excep- 
 tions, these schools were founded and endowed by individuals, for the teaching of Greek 
 and Latin, and for no other gratuitous teaching. The gratuitous instruction was some- 
 times extended to all the children born or living in a particular pai-ish, or of a particular 
 name. All not specified and provided for in the instruments of endowment, paid tuition 
 to the master ; and by Free School and Free Grammar School, as used in the early records 
 both of towns and the General Court in Connecticut and Massachusetts, was not intended 
 the Common or Public School, as afterwards developed, particularly in Massachusetts, 
 supported by tax, and free of all charge to all scholars, rich and poor ; neither was it a 
 charity school, exclusively for the poor, but a Grammar School unrestricted as to a class 
 of children or scholars specified in the instruments by which it was founded, and so sup- 
 ported as not to depend on the fluctuating attendance and tuition of scholars for the 
 maintenance of a master. The "free schools " of New England were endowed by grants 
 of land, by gift and bequests of individuals, or by " allowance out of the common stock 
 of the town ; " were designed especially for instruction in Latin and Greek, and were 
 supported in part by payments of tuition or rates by parents. These schools were the 
 well-springs of classical education in this country, and were the predecessors of the in- 
 corporated academies which do not appear under that name until a comparatively recent 
 period. 
 
 The early votes estabUshing and providing for the support of the "free schools" in 
 Boston, as well as in other towns in Massachusetts, while they recognize, by grants of 
 land and allowance out of the common stock, the interest and duty of the public in 
 schools and universal education, also provide for the payment by parents of a rate or 
 tuition.

 Orders were also taken for collecting rents on " Deare Island, Long Island, 
 and Spectacle Island, due to the use of ye Schoole," and the renters were 
 required to appear yearly and transact this concern. f The first-named Island 
 was leased in 1662 to Sir Thos. Temple, knight and '* Barronight," as the 
 scribe of the day quaintly spells it, for thirty-one years, at £14 per an. " to 
 be paid yearely every first day of March to the Town Treasurer for the use

 About four years after this, however, a release of several rents for the 
 Islands and other lands was made, the support of the School arising, doubt- 
 less, in great measure from other funds.

 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 The esteem in whicli the School has been held by the citizens of 
 Boston is shown by tlie i:ict that fathers who have been its jnipils 
 have sent their sons to share its privileges and secure its benefits, and 
 a perusal of the catalogue will show that many families have had 
 representatives in successive generations upon its rolls, and that to- 
 day the sons and the grandsons of pupils of the past may be found 
 among its members. 
 
 The Latin School has always been a democratic institution. Its 
 privileges have been confined to no class. The minister's and the 
 tallow-chandler's sons have sat side by side on its forms, and engaged 
 in friendly rivalry in school-room and on play-ground, and equally 
 enjoyed its privileges. In his speech as Chairman of the dinner of 
 the Latin School Association in 1879, Rev, James Freeman Clarke, 
 D. D., says: "In my division there were tenor twelve boys, repre- 
 senting nearly every class of society in the city — the son of Harrison 
 Gray Otis (who was then considered the most aristocratic person in 
 the city), and tlie son of Marshal Prince ; and with them were boys 
 who were children of the humblest residents. They were all together 
 on one level ; no one was thought better than another except as he 
 was a better fellow or a brigliter student." Its honors have been 
 given for merit, and all its pupils have had the same chance to gain 
 them. And as the result of its training the School had " a boy who 
 could fly a kite better than any Japanese, a boy whose signature 
 upheld the United States for two months, a boy who represented 
 this country at the Court of St. James at a most trying time, and 
 a boy who was the greatest of the arbiters at Geneva." 
 
 Her first masters might have seen Shakspeare act in his own plays ; 
 and, perhaps, whiled away tlie dullness of their wilderness recitations 
 bv repeating to the Puritan boys the fun of his hig, hag, hog ; 
 ur telling the stories of the Calibans with which he ]ieoi)led the West- 
 ern worlds. We may well enough suppose that such vanities as that 
 helped to exile our first master from the comforts of young Boston 
 to the desolate home to which he was sent on the Piscataijua. He 
 was an exiled exile — an exile of the second power. 
 
 Our venerable Maude just preceded Harvard and Milton at Cam- 
 bridge ; and we may imagine John Milton in the deputy Grecian form 
 
 May 25tl». This day the Selectmen in psuancc of a vote onlcr of ilie iiiliabitants of 
 the towne datcil tlic 'Jth of Murcii last did renew unto Mr. Siunll. Shrlmpton hit leiwc of 
 Deer Island for the tciinc of 18 years, to commence from the 1st of March, 1G93-94

 fourth form, translate his Erasmus ; or repeat his " as in praesentiy 
 So venerable may be one's classical genealogy ! Here around us 
 are men* whose Latin and Greek makes but five leaps from the 
 scholarship of the Reformation to our day ! — men who learned of 
 Hunt, who learned of Lovell, who learned of "Williams, who learned 
 of Cheever, who with Milton studied not only " Erasmus his Collo- 
 quies," but his Syntaxis from some one to whom he had himself ex- 
 plained his plan of education. 
 
 Coming down, our historian will find that our village is, indeed, 
 not unlike " that Rome " — ilia Roma — whose history is ours ; whose 
 literature and learning bred ours. "While the Doctors of Christ's 
 and Magdalen at Oxford were fighting James II and his quo war- 
 rantos^ were not our Cheever and his associates elsewhere, worried 
 in like wise by James's Gov. Andros, so that they like their English 
 brethren hailed the Revolution as their emancipation ? 
 
 "Who shall imagine the process by which five and twenty years 
 after, " our kind master," as Franklin calls him, so instructed the 
 young Benjamin in the Latin Accidence that after eight months the 
 boy ceased therefrom ; and in his after years wrote as a consequence 
 those severe attacks upon the study of the classics, which, to this 
 moment makes it dangerous to give a copy of Franklin as a present 
 to an inquiring boy. Heresies these — let us say in passing — which 
 he tried afterward to extenuate, by leaving the Latin School as one 
 of the objects of his dying bounty ; as it will be in its annual festivi- 
 ties, the latest herald of his name. 
 
 Later down, the historian will fairly exult in describing the School 
 room of the last century, divided in its allegiance, its affections, 
 and its politics, between Master Lovell, the father, the Tory : — and 
 Master Lovell, the son, the "Whig : — as they sat, one at each end of 
 the long hall, each pouring into infant minds as he could from the 
 classics of the Empire, or the historians of the Republic, the lessons 
 of absolutism or of liberalism. Let hira imagine the boys thronging 
 Faneuil Hall, when our Master Lovell dedicated it ! Little recked 
 he the future, — for he consecrated it to loyalty to the house of 
 Brunswick! Years after, let him imagine the boys of that day 
 dividing into two camps, one unwilling, going to school April 2, 
 1771, because old Master Lovell would give no holiday; the other 
 eager with patriotism and fun, defying his authority, that they

 miglit go to the Old South, to hear the young Master Lovell deliver 
 the first memorial Oration of the Bloody Boston Massacre. 
 
 Who shall describe — now that our venerable friend* has gone, 
 who was chief actor? — the deputation of our school boys who waited 
 on General Haldiman, of a winter's morning, to complain that their 
 inalienable rights had been taken away, when his servant had 
 strewed ashes across the coast which passed tlie School house? 
 Who describe their exultation when the hireling was sent out to 
 remove his obnoxious interruption. It was the first victory of the 
 Revolution. 
 
 And alas! we have lost also the lipsf which told of the morning 
 of the 19th April: — when Percy's brigade paraded for the last time 
 in full ranks, so as to cut off a little Otis's access to the School 
 house: — so that he arrived only in time to see the excited Master's 
 face — as he marshalled the class who never saw him again, and 
 cried "War's begun, — and school's done. Deponite librosP Percy's 
 brigade, stretched across the head of School Street, stopped our 
 Otis on his way to our School. Did that Otis forget it, when in 
 his English oration at Commencement in 1783, he was the first Har- 
 vard Orator to prophesy the future greatness of the independent 
 America ? 
 
 And when school was done, our boys — we might also say our 
 girls t — had their part to play. Where did John Hancock practice 
 that writing flourish, than which none is better known — we might 
 say more revered — but on our first form when he had come back 
 from the Holbrook's or Carter's "Intermediate" of his dsiy? On 
 the Declaration, led off by his name, ours are one-ninth of the sig- 
 natures. And the curious may j'et trace in the careful name of 
 Franklin, in the gentlemanly writing of Hooper and in the clear 
 legibility of the others, those traits Avhich we have even lately lieard

 twelve-poiincl shot ? After having sent back to Boston to correct the 
 blunder, only to have it renewed ; as he unwillingly ordered grape 
 instead of balls to be used against the entrenchments, he cursed his 
 officer of ordnance ; saying that he knew he was not at his post ; no, 
 most likely he was making love to the schoolmastei-'s daughter — Miss 
 Lovell ! — truer daughter of her country than of her tory father, the 
 Judith of our mythology ; she shall be remembered as the School- 
 master's Daughter of the 17th of June, if the day ever comes when 
 our history shall be written. 
 
 The Boston Town Records read as follows : 
 
 " The 13th of the 2d moneth, 1635. Att a Generall meeting upon publique 
 notice ^t was then generally agreed upon that our brother Phile- 
 mon Pormort, shalbe intreated to become scholemaster, for the teaching 
 and nourtering of children with us.j3 
 
 This vote was the beginning of the School which has ever since 
 been maintained by the town, and is now known as the Public Latin 
 School. 
 
 Mr. Pormort "accepted the trust, and was supported partly by 
 donations of liberal friends of education, and jDartly by the income 
 of a tract of land assigned to him at Muddy River " (Brookline). 
 
 Of his powers as a teacher nothing whatever is known. The only 
 testimony that can be considered direct, to jjrove that under his care 
 the classical languages were taught in the School, is the fact that John 
 Hull, who was one of his pujjils, knew Latin. It is not a violent 
 inference, however, to suppose that they were — as his assistant and 
 successor, Daniel Maude, who was perfectly competent to teach those 
 languages, was api^ointed without any implication that he was to 
 fulfill other duties than Mr. Pormort had done. 
 
 Mr. Dillaway, our oldest surviving Head Master, says : — 
 
 " This being the only jniblic school in the town for about half a centuxy, 
 it is reasonable to infer that the elementar}' as well as the higher bx-anches 
 were taught. Its principal object, however, from its establishment to the 
 present time, has been to prepare young men for college. ' Out of small 
 beginnings,' says Bradford, ' great things liave been produced ; and as one 
 small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone to 
 many, yea, in some sort, to our Avhole nation.' He must have had in his 
 mind the first Boston school, which has been perpetuated in the present 
 Latin School. Its origin was simple and unpretending; its advantages 
 as an educational mstitution in its early days hardly to be compared 
 
18 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 with those of tlie humblest country school of the present time; and yet 
 what a burning and .shining light it has become ! For nearh* two and a half 
 centuries it has been training statesmen whose wisdom has guided oiu' 
 nation. It has given us such men as Benjamin Franklin, whose statue 
 stands on the spot where his brief school-days were spent ; Samuel Adams, 
 the distinguished patriot, whose statue has been recently erected ; Cotton 
 Mather, one of the best scholars of his time ; Judge Hutchinson ; Governor 
 Leverett and his gi-andson, a President of Harvard College ; Wm. Stoughton, 
 Chief Justice of Massachusetts; James Bowdoin ; and many others whose 
 eminent public sen'ices are on record." * 
 
 Of the age, birthplace, character or education of Mr. Pormort, we 
 know nolliing from any documents we have yet discovered. On the 
 •28th of August, 1634, he was admitted, witli Susanna his wife, a 
 member of the First Church. t In the records of that clmrch we 
 find the baptism of his son Lazarus, March 1st, 1636, and of liis 
 daughter Anna, April 15th, 1638. 
 
 We find Mr. Pormort's name in connection with the Hutcliinson 
 controversy, the history of which has been published in a form which 
 makes it quite unnecessary for us to discuss it here,t but in no other 
 transactions of the colony, excepting those whicli related to the 
 School, and, in one or two instances, in the affairs of Muddy River. 
 In this celebrated controversy he did not sign any of the earlier 
 petitions or other documents drawn up by Mrs. Hutchinson's 
 adherents; but when, in 1638, the Rev. John Wheelwright led a 
 colony of her friends to found the town of Exeter, N. H., Pormort 
 enrolled himself among their number, and his name appears 
 attached to the document by which they established themselves in 
 an independent state. 
 
 Without entering into an investigation of the errors or the blame 
 of the Hutchinson controversy, the facts of the case, as far as 
 Pormort appears connected Avith them, seem to be that he was up- 
 liolding with such men as Vane and Wheelwright, the rights of 
 conscience and religious liberty, against more absolute and formal 
 views. In his love of that liberty ho pressed more deejdy into the 
 wilderness which he had vainly sought in his hope for it. He had 
 constancy enough, and sincerity enough of opinion to leave his first

 The dismission of these colonists, thus really driven into exile by 
 the harshness of the people of Boston, from the First Church was 
 amicable in form, and is dated January 6th, 1638.*

 Mr. Pormort's administration of the Latin School was, therefore, 
 probably about three years, extending from April, 1635, to the close 
 of 1638. He seems to have left Exeter, and gone to Wells, but, 
 before 1642, to have returned to Boston. We find no record of his 
 death.

20 PUBLIC LATIN SCUOOL. 
 
 No doubt, many of the subscribers were parents of Mr, Maude's 
 pupils, but as there is no list of our scholars in his time, we can only 
 conjecture this. 
 
 Mr. Maude was a Non-Conformist Puritan minister,* who ar- 
 rived from England probably Aug. 17, 1G35. At this time he was 
 about fifty years old. He was a graduate of Emmanuel College, 
 Cambridge, wlicre he took his degree of Bachelor in 1606, and of 
 Master in IGlO.f 
 
 Mr. Maude was admitted freeman at the general election. May 
 25, 1636, the year after his arrival, and on the second of August fol- 
 lowing Avas appointed, as has been mentioned above, teacher in the 
 Latin School. $ It is uncertain whether Mr, Pormort resigned his 
 office before leaving for Exeter, and was succeeded by Maude ; or 
 whether the latter was for a time associated with him and then his 
 successor ; or (as an incidental reference some ten years after seems 
 to imply that Mr, Pormort, who had then returned to the town, 
 had resumed his office, and was alone in it;, his substitute during 
 his absence. But, from the phrase in the terms of the subscription, 
 "being now also chosen thereto," it would seem that Maude at- 
 tended to the duties of this office, together with Pormort. 
 
 In 1641 the people of Dover, N. II., petitioned the Massachusetts 
 government to extend over them its supervision. The petition was 
 granted, and in this connection it is mentioned by Johnson, § that

 •Mr, Maude had been ejected from his charjje in Enjrland on account ol" his Non-Con- 
 formity. Cotton Mather places him, therefore, in his first clasgis of ministers, who had 
 been in pastoral duty before the emigration to this country.

 At that time subscription in the books of the University was not required — the requisition 
 ■which has since kept so many students from the English Universities, not being made till 
 1016. 
 
 * At a town meeting on "The 17th of the 2d moneth, 1637 • • it is agreed • • that Mr. 
 DanycU Mawde, scholcmastcr, shall have a garden plot next unto Stephen Kinsley's house 
 plott upon like condition of building thereon if ncede bee." 
 
 By the Book of Possessions this lot is tlius described : 
 
 Daniel Maud, his possession within the limits of Boston. 
 
 One house and garden, bounded with Mr. Bellingham south and west, Mr. Cotton north, 
 the strcctc east. 
 
 As laid down on Lamb's Map this location is on the western side of Tremont 811*661, not 
 far from the present site of the Suffolk Savings Bank.

 " it pleased God to fit stones by the continual hearing of the word, 
 and called to the office of Pastor one Mr. Maude, both godly and dili- 
 gent in the work." 
 
 "Without any intimation to the contrary, we feel justified in suppos- 
 ing that Maude continued in ofiice as our schoolmaster until he 
 accepted this call and removed, with his wife Mary, to Dover in the 
 end of 1641, or the beginning of 1642. The influence of his character 
 upon the church in Dover, where he remained until his death in 
 1655, was long felt, and most happy. Johnson says he was godly 
 and diligent; and Hubbard that he was a good man, of serious 
 spirit, and of a quiet and jjeaceable disposition. We have no other 
 notices of his life. So far as we can learn, he left no children. 
 
 Maude was a member of the same English College as John Hai-- 
 vard, who has given the name to our College at Cambridge. It is 
 interesting to learn that the Master of the Latin School, and the 
 benefactor of the infant college had this common ground of sym- 
 pathy while together here in Boston. 
 
 There is no reason to suppose that the course of instruction fol- 
 lowed by our first two Masters differed much from that pursued in 
 the English schools in their time,* where the established period of 
 school education in the classics preparatory to the college was about 
 seven or eight years. 
 
 A Master of Arts of Emmanuel, his learning recommended Maude 
 to a place which he filled well. It was his good fortune, and, perhaps 
 the credit of it is to be assigned to him rather than to his predecessor 
 or colleague, to engraft on the infant School the learning and scholar- 
 ship of the most ancient institutions; and while its Master, three 
 years after its foundation, he saw the foundation of the College 
 which gave the name of his own Alma Mater to the town where it 
 was first planted. To that College he sent its first pupils, and 
 secured for his and our School the noble reputation of being the 
 first seminary for classical learning in our regions of the "Western 
 World. 
 
 The catalogue of Pormort's and Maude's pupils, if such there ever 
 were, has been lost, and we can probably never ascertain who of the 
 
 * Thomas Lechforcl, a London lawyer, (who had been two years in this country, and liad 
 returned dissatisfied to London, probably because in a hard ■workinjr colony he had found 
 little to do) the author of " Plain Dealing," well known to antiquarians as a book which 
 handles the colony harshly and unkindly, wrote to Winthrop in 1640 : 
 
 " Consider how poorly your schools goe on. You must depend upon England for help 
 of learned men and schollars, bookes, commodities infinite almost." 
 
22 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 early sons of the colony belonged upon it, but as, during the period 
 in which they had charge of the Latin School, there was no other 
 school in Boston, it is probable that all the Boston boys who graduated 
 in the earlier classes of Harvard College received their preparation 
 under them. Accordingly, in the absence of more definite informa- 
 tion, the committee who prepared the first edition of our Catalogue, 
 placed the names of these boys on their lists as probable pupils. To 
 those they have given we have added* a few more, graduates of the 
 College, whom we have found from the History of the Ancient and 
 Honorable Artillery Company, were likewise Boston boys. 
 
 The successor of Mr. Maude was Mr. Woodbridge, supposed to 
 have been the same as the first minister of Andover, mentioned in 
 Mather's Magnalia. Nothing more is certainly known of hini,t and 
 the only reference we find to him is in the Boston Records, when at 
 a meeting: 
 
 " This 2d of lOth mo., 1644. Its ordered that the Constables shall pay un- 
 to Deacon Eliot for the use of Mr. Woodbridge, eight pounds due to him 
 for keeping the Schoole the Last yeare." 
 
 In, or before, 1650 Robert "WoodmanseyJ became " Scholemaster," 
 and we find the following in the records. 
 
 * Appendix A. 
 
 fThc question has been lately raised whether Benjamin Woodbridge, his brother, tlie 
 first graduate of Ilarvaid College, is not more likely to have been the teacher ; but Mr. 
 Sibley, the Librarian of the College, for many years the editor of the Harvard Triennial 
 Catalogues, and compiler of the biographies of the earlier graduates, is of the opinion that 
 the title " Mr." on the records points to some one other than a mei"c Bachelor of Arts, who 
 would probably have been called Sir. 
 
 X From the record of a meeting on the 16th of 1st month, 51-52, we learn that Mr. Wood- 
 mansey lived in a house, the property of the town, which stood near the school-house, a 
 single lot being between them, and in giving permission for the use of this iutcrveuiug lot, 
 the vote includes the following reservation ; 
 
 " alsoe if the towne shall see cause to iularg the skoolehouse at any time hereafter, the 
 town hath reserved lii>ertie soe to doe. 
 
 On the 27th 4 : 53 It is ordered that fourty shillings shall be payd unto Mr. Ilobtl 
 Woodmancyc as part of his repayrcs of his house.

 these two yearcs past.

 11th 1 : mo : 1650 It is also agreed on that Mr. Woodmansey, the 
 
 Schoolmaster shall have fiftye pounds per annum for his teachinge the 
 Schollers, and his proi^oition to be made up by ratte. 
 
 Mr. "Woodmansey had for an assistant Capt. Daniel Hinchman * or 
 Henchman, of whom we have given a full account under his name in 
 the list of Ushers. 
 
 Mr. Woodmansey f probably died about 1666 or 1667, since Benja- 
 min Tompson was " made choice by the select men " 26 : 6 : 67 " for 
 to officiate in the place of the scholemaster for one yeare. Mr. Hull 
 being appointed to agree, for tearmes, what to allow hime per 
 annum." 
 
 Benjamin Tompson was born at Braintree in 1640, and graduated 
 at Harvard College in 1662. 
 
 The first graduate of the College who had charge of the School, he 
 discharged his part of the debt which the younger owed to the older 
 institution for the early training of so many of her sons. He was 
 the earliest native epic poet of New England. The epitajDh on his 
 tomb stone in the burying-ground at Roxbury calls him a learned 
 schoolmaster and physician, and the renowned poet | of New England. 
 
 This reference is to the lot of land previously mentioned which had been granted to 
 Richard Cook for a rent of thu'ty subsequently reduced to twenty shillings per annum.

 end, dureinge her widdowhood." 
 
 X In his History of American Literature (vol. ii p. 21.) Prof. Moses Coit Tyler thus 
 speaks of him as a poet. 
 
 This poet's best vein is satire, — his favorite organ being the rhymed pentameter couplet, 
 with a flow, a vigor, and an edge obviously caught from the contemporaneous verse of John 
 Drj'den. He has the partisanship, the exaggeration, the choleric injustice, that are common 
 in satire : and like other satirists, failing to note the moral perspectives of history, he utters

 After three years he was superseded by Ezekiel Cheever, tlie 
 worthy Englishman who came to bring back to the School the worth 
 and associations of a former generation; — tlie man whose name for 
 more than a century associated itself with the first lispings of the 
 classics which our fathers attempted ; — who for seventy years trained 
 the infant statesmen and scholars of the land. Of his reign we 
 have memoranda for a fuller account than of any of the earlier 
 epochs of our history. 
 
 Ezekiel Cheever was born in London, Jan. 25, 1G14. But little is 
 known of his early life.* That he was entered at Emmanuel College, 
 Cambridge, is shown by the following entry on the Register :

 over again the stale and easy lie, wherein the past is held up as wiser and holier than the 
 present. 
 
 Thou'rh New Enj^land has had a life hut little more than fifty years lonp:, the poet sees 
 within it the tokens of a hurrvinj^ degeneracy, in customs, in morals, in valor, in piety. He 
 turns back with reverent and eyeless homage, to the good old times of the Founders, when 
 the people dwelt 
 
 " Under thatch'd huts, without the cry of rent, 
 And the best sauce to every dish — content ;" 
 
 when 
 
 " Deep-skirted doublets, Puritanic capes. 
 
 Which now would render men like upright apes 
 
 Was comlier wear, our wiser fathers thought. 
 
 Than the cast fashions from all Europe brought;" 
 
 when, at table, 
 
 " An honest grace would hold 
 Till an hot pudding grew at heart a cold ; 
 And men had better stomachs at religion, 
 Than I to capon, turkey, cock, or pigeon ; 
 When honest sisters met to pray, not prate, 
 About their own, and not their neighbors' state ;" 
 
 • •••*« 
 
 Alas, those flawless times — that never were — those 
 
 *' Golden times, too fortunate to hold, 
 Were quickly sinned away for love of gold ;" 
 and in retribution, Cod is sending upon New England the wrath and anguish of the 
 Indian wars. 
 
 " Not ink, l)ut blood and tears now serve the turn. 
 To draw the figure of Now England's urn."

 He came to Boston in 1637. The next spring he went to New 
 Haven, wliere he remained some time as a teacher, and probably wrote 
 " The Accidence," an elementary work in Latin* which j^assed 
 through eighteen editions before the Revolution, and is thought to 
 have done " more to inspire young minds with the love of the study 
 of the Latin language than any other work of the kind since the first 
 settlement of the country." From New Haven he removed in 1650 
 to Ipswich, thence in 1661 to Charlestown, and remained there about 
 nine years. From Charlestown he came over to Boston, and the 
 Boston Records thus chronicle the event :t

 On the 30th of the same month, it was " Ordered to Mr. Benjamin 
 Torapson schoolmaster ten pounds out of the Towne treasury beside 
 his yearly salary to be Ended the 25th of this January." 
 
 No picture of Mr. Cheever is known to be in existence, and of liis 
 personal appearance we have no description, except that he wore a 
 long white beard, terminating in a point, and when he stroked his 
 beard to the i)oint, it Avas a sign for tlie boys to stand clear. 
 
 He was about fifty-six years old* when he took this School; but 
 living to an advanced age, he trained here, during thirty-seven years, 
 not a feAv of New England's most distinguished mcn.f He was the 
 first Master who died while holding the office. 
 
 Some account of his manner of teaching is given in Mr. Hassam's 
 monograph, from the autobiography of the Rev. John Barnard,}: of 
 Marblehead, one of his pupils, who was born in Boston, Nov. (3, 1G81, 
 and thus speaks of his early days at the Latin School ; 
 
 In the spring [1689], of my eighth year I was sent to the grammar-school 
 under the tuition of the aged, venei'able, and justly famous Mr. Ezekiel 
 Cheever. But after a few weeks, an odd accident drove me from the school.

 class, who stood behind master with the accidence open for hini to read out 
 of ; by which means he could recite his [ ] three and four times in a 
 
 forenoon, and the same in the afternoon ; but I who had no such help, and 
 was obliged to commit all to memory, could not keep pace with him ; so he 
 would be always one lesson before me. ]My ambition could not bear to be 
 outdone, and in such a fraudulent manner, and therefore I left the school. 
 About this time arrived a dissenting minister fi-om England, who opened 
 a pi'ivate school for reading, wi'iting, and Latin. My good father put me 
 under his tuition, with whom I spent a j'ear and a half. The gentleman 
 receiving but little encouragement, threw up his school, and returned me to 
 iny father, and again I was sent to my aged Mr. Cheever, who placed me 
 m the loioest class ; but finding I soon read through my [ ] , in a few 
 
 weeks he advanced me to the [ ] , a^id the next year made me the head 
 
 of it. 
 
 Though my master advanced me, as above, yet I was a very naughty boj^ 
 much given to play, insomuch that he at length openly declared, ' You Bar- 
 nard, I know 3'ou can do well enough if you will ; but you are so full of play 
 that you hinder your classmates from getting their lessons ; and therefore, 
 if any of them cannot perform their duty, I shall correct you for it.' One 
 unlucky day, one of my classmates did not look into his book, and therefore 
 could not say his lesson, though I called ujjon him once and again to mind his 
 hook ; upon which our master beat me. I told master the reason why he 
 could not say his lesson was his declaring he would beat me if any of the 
 class were wantifig in their duty ; since which this boy would not look into 
 his book, though I call upon him to mind his book, as the class could wit- 
 ness. The boy was pleased Avith my being corrected, and persisted in his 
 neglect, for which I was still corrected, and that for several days. I thought, 
 in justice, I ought to correct the boy, and compel him to a better temper ; 
 and, therefore, after school was done, I went up to him, and told him I had 
 been beaten several times for his neglect ; and since master would not cor- 
 rect him I would, and I should do so as often as I was corrected for him ; 
 and then drubbed him heartily. The boy never came to school any more, and 
 so that unhappy affair ended. 
 
 Though I was often beaten for my i^lay, and my little roguish tricks, yet I 
 don't remember that I was ever beaten for mj' book more than once or l:\vice. 
 One of these was upon this occasion. Master put our class upon turning 
 ^sop's Fables into Latin verse. Some dull fellows made a shift to perfomi 
 this to acceptance ; but I was so much duller at this exercise, that I could 
 make nothing of it ; for which master corrected me, and this he did two or 
 three days going. I had honestly tried my possibles to perform the task ; 
 but having no poetical fancy, nor then a capacity opened of expressing the 
 same idea by a variation of phrases, though I was perfectly acquainted with 
 prosody, I found I could do nothing ; and therefore plainly told my master, 
 that I had diligently labored all I could to perform what he required, and 
 perceiving I had no genius for it, I thought it was in vain to strive against 
 nature any longer; and he never more required it of me. Nor had I any- 
 
thing of a poetical genius till after I had been attending College soiuo time, 
 •when upon i-eading some of Mr. Cowley's works I was liighly pleased, and 
 a new scene oi)cni.'!l before mc. 
 
 I roniembor once, in making a piece of Latin, my master found fault with 
 the syntax of one word, which was not so used by me lieedlessly, but 
 designedly, and therefore I told him there was a plam grammar rule for it. 
 He angi-lly replied, there was no such rule. I took tlie grammar and 
 showed the rule to him. Then he smilingly said, ' Thou art a brave boy ; 
 I had forgot it,' And no wonder ; for he was then above eighty years old. 
 
 Ezekiel Cheever died in Boston, Aug. 21, 1708, and his death is 
 thus referred to by Governor Hutchinson:* "August 21st, this year, 
 died Ezekiel Cheever, venerable not merely for his great age, 94, 
 but for having been the schoolmaster of most of the ])rincijK'il gentle- 
 men in Boston who were then upon the stage. He is not the only- 
 master who kept his lamp longer lighted than otherwise it would 
 have been, by a supply of oil from his scholars." 
 
 Judge Scwall in his Diary t thus describes the death of the vener- 
 able Master: 
 
 Augt. 12 [1708]. — Mr. Chiever is abroad & hears Mr. Cotton Mather 
 preach ; This is the last of his going abroad : "Was taken ver}- sick like to 
 die with a Flux. Augt. 13. I go to see him ; went in with his son Thom:\s 
 and 2\Ir. Lewis. His son sj^ake to him, and he knew him not. I .^pake to 
 him, and he bid me speak again : Then ho said, Xov,- 1 know you, and speak- 
 ing cheerily mcnlion'd my Name. I ask'd his Blessing for me & my family. 
 He said I was Bless'd, & it could not be Rovers'd. Yet at my going away 
 He pray'd for a Blessing for me. 
 
 Feriaquinta, Augt. 19. — I visited Mr. Chiever again, just before Lecture; 
 Thank'd liim for his Kindness to me and mine ; desired his i)rayers for me, 
 my family, Boston, Salem, the Province. He recM me with abundance of 
 Affection, taking me by the Hand several times. He said, The Afflictions 
 of God's people, God by them did as a Goldsmith, Knock, knock, knock ; 
 knock, knock, knock, to finish the plate : It was to perfect them not to 
 punish tliem. I went and told !Mr. Pemberton, who preach'd.

 weaker, and his Speech very low. He called. Daughter ! \Anu'n liis daugliter

put his hand out of the Bed, and held it up, to signify his assent. Observing 
 he suck'd a piece of an Orange, put it orderly into his mouth and chew'd it, 
 and then took out the core. After dinner I carried a few of the best Figs I 
 could get, and a dish Marmalet. I spake not to liini now. 
 
 Feria Septima, Augt. 21. — Mr. Edward Oakes tells me Mr. Chiever died 
 this last night. Note. He was born January, 25, 1G14. Came over to 
 N. -E. 1637. to Boston: To New -Haven, 1638. Married in the Fall, 
 and began to teach School : which Woi'k he was constant in till now. First, 
 at New - liaven ; then at Ipswich ; then at Chai'lestown ; then at Boston, 
 Avhether he came 1670. So that he has Laboured in that Calling Skillfully, 
 diligently, constantly. Religiously, Seventy years. A rare Instance of Piety, 
 Health, Strength, Serviceableness. The AVellfare of the Pi'ovince was 
 much upon his Spii'it. He abominated Perriwigs. 
 
 Augt. 23, 1708. — Mr. Chiever was buried from the School-house. The

 Griggs, and two more came to me, and earnestly solicited me to speak to a

 Chiever. I said, 'twas a great Surprise to me ; pleaded my inability for want 
 of memory. Invention. Said doubted not of my ability ; would pray for me. 
 I pleaded the Unsuitableness, because I was not of that Meeting. They 
 almost took a denial. But said one would come to me next night. * * * * 
 
 His funeral sermon was preached by his former pupil, the Rev. Dr. 
 Cotton Mather, and we give the larger portion of it in the Appendix,! 
 together with a Poetical Essay in his memory, from the same source. 
 
 His will, dated Feb. 16, 1705-6, written with his own hand when 
 he was 91 years old, " in good healtli & understanding wonderfull in 
 my age," is on file in the Suffolk Probate Office. It was offered for 
 probate Aug. 26, 1708, by his son Tliomas Cheever and his daughter 
 Susanna Russell, his wife Ellen Cheever, the other executrix, being 
 deceased. His estate was appraised at £837 : 19 : 6. 
 
 During his time the number of pupils had so increased, that often 
 there were a hundred in the School. As it was difficult for a single 
 master to instruct so many, it had been customary for him to employ 
 an assistant at his own expense, but, about 1698, the Town seems to 
 have recognized the need of an assistant, and made provision for 
 supplying it : 
 
 *' At a Publick meeting of the Inhabitants of Boston," March 13, 1699, it 
 was "Voted, That an assistant be Provided to be wth. mr. Cheever, in the

 After the death of Mr. Cheever, Mr. Nathaniel Williams, who 
 graduated at Harvard College in 1693,* and, as we have seen, had 
 been for some time his assistant, was appointed his successor.! 
 
 Mr. Williams is supposed to have been educated at our School, 
 and if so, was the first pupil to become its Master. He was orig- 
 inally ordained as an evangelist for one of the West Indian Islands ; 
 but finding the climate there unhealthy, soon returned to Boston. 
 During his stay in the West Indies he had studied medicine, and 
 after his return to Boston engaged in practice as a physician. When 
 he took charge of the Latin School his friends, who had emj^loyed 
 him in this capacity, persuaded him not to relinquish this profes- 
 sion. Accordingly he continued to practice in many families, and 
 after lie relinquished the charge of the School, on account of his 
 infirmities, which he did in 1734, he passed the remainder of his days 
 in that occupation. 
 
 " He was called the ' beloved physician,' and was so agreeable in 
 his manners, that when he entered the chambers of the sick, ' his 
 voice and countenance did good like medicine.' Amidst the multi- 
 plicity of his duties as instructor and physician, in extensive practice, 
 he never left the ministerial loorkyt

 The Committee chosen by the Town the 19th of December Last, 
 
 to consider the Affaires relating to ye Free Grammar School of this Town, 
 haveing now made their report imto ye Town as followeth vizt. 
 
 Wee have discoursed wth mr "NVilliams the present master of whos : quali- 
 fications and fitness for tliat imployment we tak : for granted every body 
 must be abundantly Satisfied. He expresses a good Inclination to the worke, 
 and his resolution intirely to devote him Selfe, thereto, If tlie Town please 
 to Encourage his continuance therein by allowing him a competent Sallary, 
 that he may Support his family, and Granting him an Assistant. He is Veiy 
 Sensible of the Advantage of the Assistance Lately afforded him, both with 
 respect to his health and also as to ye Schollars. 
 
 We are of opinion the worke of that School do's necessarily require the 
 Attendance of a master and an Usher, and it seems Impracticable for one 
 person alone, well to Oversee the manners of So great a number of Schollars 
 (oft times more then a hundred) to hear their dayly Exercises, and Instinct 
 them to that degree of profitting, which other Avise may be wtli an Assistant. 
 
 We Recommend it to the Town to Encourage mr Williams's continuance in 
 tlie School by advaneelng his Salary to the Sum of One-hundred pounds p 
 Annu, which we thinek to bo a modest demand, and to grant him the Assist- 
 ance of an Usher, at the Towns charge. In which we liave ye concurrent 
 Opinion and Advice of ye llevrd ^Ministers. 
 
 We further propose and recommend*, as of Great Service and Advantage 
 for the promoting of Diligence and good literature. That the Town Agree- 
 ably to the Usage in England, and (as we understand) in Some time pa.st 
 practiced here. Do Nominate and Appoint a Cert;iin Number of Gentlemen, 
 of Liberal Education, Together with some of ye Revd -Ministers of tlie Town 
 to be Inspectors of the Sd Sehoole under that name Title or denomination. 
 To Visit ye School from time to time, when and as Oft, as they shall thinek 
 fit to Enforni thcsmselvcs of the metliodes used in teaching of ye Sciiollars and 
 to Inquire of their Proficiency, and be present at the iierformance of Some of 
 their Exorcises, the blaster being before Notified of tlieir comeing, And with 
 him to consult and Advise of furtlier metliods ftn* ye Advancement of Learn-

 Several Articles thereof.

 vice in that Worke & allow him for ye Same not exceeding the aforesaid Rate

 About a year later we find the following on the Records : 
 
 At a Meeting of the Free-holders and other Inhabitants of the Town of 
 Boston, duly qualified and Warned according to Law, being Convened at the 
 Town-House the 12th day of March 1710-11. 
 
 A Memorial offered to the Town at this meeting by the Select 
 
 men being as followeth vizt. 
 
 Whereas according to the Information of Some of the Learned, Avho have 
 made Observation of the easie & pleasant Rules and Methods used in 
 Some Schools in Europe, where Scollars, p'haps within the compass of 
 one year, have attained to a Competent Proficiency So as to be able to read, 
 and discourse in Lattin, and of themselves caj^able to make Considerable 
 progress therein : and that according to the methodes used here Very many 
 hundreds of boyes in this Town, who by their Parents were never desio-ned 
 for a more Liberal Education, have Spent two, three, four years or more of 
 their more Early days at the Lattin School, which hath proved of very Little, 
 or no benefit as to their after Accomplishmt. 
 
 It is therefore proposed to the Town that they would Recomend it to 
 those Gentlem whom they shall chuse as Inspectors of the Schools, To- 
 gether with ye ministers of the Town, To Consider whether in this Town 
 (where the Free School is maintained cheifly by a Town Rate on the Inhab- 
 itants) That Supposeing the former more Tedious and burthensome methode 
 
34 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 may be thought the best for such as are designed for Schollars (which is by 
 Some questioned). Yet for tlie Sake & benefitt of others, who usually are 
 the gi'eater number by far in Such Schools, — Whctlier it might not be advise- 
 able tliat Some more easie and delightfull metliodes be there attended and put 
 in practice. And to Signifie to ye To^vn their thoughts therein, in order to 
 the Encouragemnt of the same.* 
 
 Voted. That the Said Memorial be So recomended to the Inspectors of 
 the School, and Ministers of the Town as is therein Set forth. 
 
 Mr. "Williams lived for about four years after resigning his office 
 of Mastcrt and died on the 15th of January, 1738. J 
 
 A short sketch of his life and character, which will be found in tlie 
 Appendix^ was given in the funeral sermon upon him, preached at 
 the South Church, by the Rev. Thomas Prince, the pastor. 
 
 During Mr. Cheever's mastership the increase of the Town re- 
 quired new schools, and, as early as 1682, measures were taken to 
 supply the need. In 1711, soon after Mr. Williams became the 
 Master of our School, a free Grammar School was established at the 
 Nortli End, of which Mr. Recompense "Wadsworth was chosen the 
 first Master. In 1768 Mr. Samuel Hunt Avas chosen Master of that 
 School, which subsequently became the Eliot School, and his trans- 
 ference, with many of his pupils, to our School, in 1776, makes a 
 close connection between the two, and justifies the few pages which 
 we have given to that School in our Catalogue. 
 
 Among his assistants Mr. Williams had for a time the celebrated 
 Jeremy Gridley, Avho was succeeded in 1730 by Mr. John Lovell, 
 a graduate of Harvard College in 1728. When Mr. Williams

 relating to the Grammar Free School," and concludes: "Mar. 10th 1710. Ordered by the 
 Selectmen to be laid before the Town." 
 
 t During the period of !^^r. Williams's mastership we find the following entries, having 
 reference to our School, in Sewall's Diary, vol. iii : — 
 
 March 8 [1719-20.] Col. Fitch express'd himself as much prizing Mr. Granger's Accom- 
 plishments to Teach Writing; never such a person in Boston before. Resolves to send his 
 son to him; has told him he will do so. Professes himself of the Church of JCngland. 
 As far as I could gather, He and Capt. Noyes would l)e glad he might "f each in the new

 resigned, Mr. Lovell was promoted to be Head Master, and for 
 "nearly forty-two years discharged the duties of that important 
 station with great skill and fidelity."* The list of his pupils em- 
 braces many of the most illustrious men of the time. He had, and 
 probably deserved, a high reputation for learning ; but was severe 
 and rough, a rigid disciplinarian, and thoroughly feared by his 
 pupiiS-t In the Harvard Memorial Hail is his portrait, by his 
 pupil Nathaniel Smibert, " drawn," says Judge Cranch, " while the 
 terrific impressions of the pedagogue were yet vibrating on his 
 nerves. I found it so perfect a likeness of my old neighbor that I 
 did not wonder when my young friend told me that a sudden un- 
 designed glance at it had often made him shudder." 
 
 We have given some anecdotes of Mr. Lovell under his name in 
 the list of Masters, on pages 6 and 7 of the Catalogue, and, therefore, 
 will not repeat them. As there stated he was a rigid loyalist, and, 
 when Boston was evacuated, retired to Halifax, and remained to the 
 close of his life. His son James, for a long time his assistant, was 
 an equally strong patriot. 
 
 There is an interesting account of the School in Mr. Lovell's 
 time in the following letters from Harrison Gray Otis, Mayor of 
 Boston in 1829, 1830 and 1831, who was one of his pupils. 
 
 December 17 th, 1844. 
 Gentlemen, — I send you as requested some reminiscences connected with 
 the old Latin School in Boston. I was a pupil — first of Master Lovell, after- 
 wards of Master Hunt. I perfectly remember the day I entered the School, 
 July, 1773, being then seven years and nine months old. Immediately 
 after the end of Commencement week, I repaired, accordhig to the rule pre-

 t "While these pages were going through the press, a gentleman of this city discovered 
 among some old family papers, the following letter, which he handed to the Committee, 
 and which we print, both for the coincidence and because it shows that the habit of dis- 
 paraging teachers is not a peculiarity of the present generation, but was among the prac- 
 tices of the past as well. The writer was a pupil of our Class of 1757.

 scribed for candidates for admission to the lowest form, to old Master 
 Lovell's house, situate in School Street, nearly opposite the site of the old 
 School House. I was early on the ground, :inticij)ated only by Mr. John 
 Hubbard, who lived near — it being understood that the boys were to take 
 their places on the form in the same routine that they presented themselves 
 at the house. The probationary exercise was reading a few verses in the 
 Bible. Having passed muster in this, I was admitted as second boy on the 
 lowest form. 
 
 I attended school from tliat time until April, 177.3, (the day of Lexington 
 battle), being tlien on tlie second form. Thi' school was divided into seven 
 classes. A separate bench or form was aliottcil to each, besides a skipping 
 form, appropriated for a few boys who were intended to be pushed forward 
 one year in advance. The books studied the first year were Cheever's 
 Accidence, a small Nomenclature (sic), and Corderius' Colloquies. The 
 second year, ^Esop's Fables, and towards the close of it, Eutropius and 
 Ward's Lilly's Grammar. The third year Eutropius and Grammar continued, 
 and a book commenced called Clarke's Introduction. In tlie foui-tli year, tlie 
 fourth form, as well as the fifth and si.xth, being furnished witli desks, com- 
 menced " making Latin," as tlie phrase was, and to the books used by the 
 third form Caesar's Commentaries wei-e added. After this were read in 
 succession by the three upper classes, Tully's Orations, the first books of the 
 .^neid, and the highest classes dipped into Xenophon and Homer. School 
 opened at 7 in summer and 8 in winter, A. M., and at 1 P. IVL tliroughout 
 the year. It was ended at 11 A. ]\1. and 5 V. M., at which hours tlie greater 
 part went to writing-school for an hour at a time — but a portion remained 
 and took lessons in writing of "Master James," son of the Preceptor, and 
 some young girls then came in to school. 
 
 The discipline of the School was strict but not severe. The Master's — 
 Old Gaffer, as we called him — desk was near the south-west corner of the 
 room ; Master James's desk was in tlie north-east comer. I remember to 
 have seen used no other insti-umeut of punishment but tlie ferule in blaster 
 LovelPs day. Gaffer's ferule was a short, stubbed, greasy-looking article, 
 which, when not in use, served him as a stick of sugar candy. The lightest 
 punishment was one clap, tlie severest four — the most usual, two, one on 
 each hand. The inflictions of the old gentleman were not much dreaded; 
 his ferule seemed to be a mere continuation of liis arm, of whidi the centre 
 of motion was the shoulder. It descended altogetlier with a whack, and 
 there was the end of it, after blowing the fingers. But blaster Jiunes's 
 fashion of wielding his weapon was anotlier affair. He had a gymnastic 
 stj-le of flourishing, altogether unitiue — a mode of administering our experi- 
 mentuni ferules tliat was absolutely terrific. He never i)unished in GalVer's 
 presence, but whenever the old gentleman witlulrew, all began to contem- 
 plate the "day's disaster," and to tremble, not when he " frown'd," for he 
 did not frown, nor was ho an ill-teniiiered person, but ratlier smiled sar- 
 donically, as if prejiaring for a pugilistic effort, and the exectition as nearly 
 resembled tlie motion of a flail in the hands of an expert tlirasher a^ could 
 
be acquired by long practice. School broke up at 10 A. M. on Thursday, — 
 a relic of an old custom to give oj)portunity to attend the "Thursday lec- 
 ture," — which "vvas I believe never improved in mj day. School opened 
 with " attendamus" to a short prayer. It ended with " deponite libros." 
 The boys had a recess of a few minutes to go into the yard — eiglit at a 
 time. No leave was asked in words ; but there was a short club of a yard 
 in lengtli Avhicli was caught up by some boy, round Avliom tliosc who 
 Avislied to go out clustered, and were drilled down to eight. The club was 
 then held up near Master's nose, who nodded assent, Avhen tlie eight van- 
 ished club in hand. Upon their return there was a rush to seize the club 
 whicli was placed by the door, and a new consci'iption of eight formed, 
 and so toiics q?iolics. 
 
 The old Master was a loyalist, and admitted, as was said, to the coteries 
 of Gov. Gage. Master James, on the contrary, was an ultra Avliig. He 
 remained in town after tlie siege commenced, -was imprisoned on a charge of 
 corresponding with tlie Americans — carried oft" by the British I think to 
 Halifax, and came back after a long absence. I do not remember his voca- 
 tion during the first year after his return, but tliink he was once returned to 
 Congress. On the accession of Genl. Washington to the Presidency, he 
 received the appointment of Naval Officer, whicli he retained to the last. His 
 father went oft' with tlie British troops and died abroad. 
 
 On the 19th April, 1775, I went to school for the last time. In the morning 
 about seven, Percy's brigade was drawn up extending from Scollay's building 
 thro' Tremont Street nearly to the bottom of the JMall, jireparing to take 
 up their mai'ch for Lexington. A corporal came up to me as I was going to 
 school, and turned me off to jjass down Court St. which I did, and came up 
 School St. to the School-house. It may well be imagined that great agita- 
 tion prevailed, the British line being drawn up a few yards only from the 
 School-house door. As I entered School I heard the announcement of 
 "deponite libros" and ran home for fear of the regulars. Here ended my 
 connection with Mr. LovelPs administration of the School. Soon aftei'Avards 
 I left town and did not return until after the evacuation by the British in 
 March, 1776. Then I entered the same School under Master Hunt, Avith whom 
 I remained until I entered College in 1779. In regard to the general 
 discipline of the School in Mr. Hunt's time it was much the same as in Mv. 
 LovelFs, and as to details there are many now on the stage who can furnish 
 them. 
 
 Another letter on the files of the Committee gives some additional 
 information, and is as follows : — 
 
 Boston, 18 Dec, 1844. 
 
 My Dear Sir: The only Latin School (except the North End School) 
 that I remember was that which stood on the site of that which has lately 
 been pulled down, and on which is erected the Horticultural building, now 
 being finished. I have no remembrance that the exterior walls of tiie old 
 
88 PUBLIC LATI^" SCHOOL. 
 
 School were ever removed, but of this am not positive. The interior was 
 very much altered and enlarged. The old school-room occupied the entire 
 lower story, and there were no chambers or partitions. I have no recollec- 
 tion of au}' school-liouse in the rear of tlie King's Chapel, and am confident 
 there was none.* The house next adjoining the wall of the Chapel cemeteiy 
 east was an ancient stone building of grotesque architecture, which, when I 
 went to school was occupied by the British, or (I believe), German Genl. 
 Haldiman, who commanded under Gage. The same liouse afterwards and, 
 probably within your remembrance, was owned and inhabited by Jolin 
 Lowell, Esq. Xext easterly to this was the house of old Master Lovell. 
 It was there "The modest mansion stood." The Chapel burying ground 
 extended north on Tremont St. to the line it now occupies, and in the house 
 forming tlie north boundary liv'd Doctor Cannorf (sic) the Rector. The 
 square east of the Rector's House, and nortli of Master Lovell's and Ilaldi- 
 man's, was county land t occupied by the jail and accessible only from Court 
 Street. § 
 
 ♦Mr. Otis doubtless meant there was none within his recollection, as the fact that the old 
 School-house was iu the rear of King's Chapel is as well established as the location of 
 the Chapel itself. 
 
 t Rev. Henry Caner, who was inducted Rector of King's Chapel, April 11, 1747. 
 
 1 On a map of this locality in 1722, this county laud, mentioned by Mr. Otis, is repre- 
 sented as having trees upon it. 
 
 § The entire square bounded by what are now School, Tremont, Court and Washington 
 Streets, is said by tradition, derived from Chief Justice Sewall, to have been selected by 
 Isaac Johnson (the husband of the Lady Arabella) for his lot; and furtlier that by his 
 desire he was buried at the southwest end of that lot, " which gave occasion for the first 
 burying-placc to be laid out about his grave." That this is a matter of some doubt, is gen- 
 erally agreed, and it would seem conclusive from the remarks of the Hon. Robert C. Wiu- 
 throp, in the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Vol. xvii. (1879-SO) p. 
 128, that neither Johnson nor his wife was buried here ; but the burying-place is that 
 adjoining the King's Chapel. The southeast corner lot of School Street, whei-e the old 
 bookstore now is, was early occupied by the house and garden of Edward Hutchinson, 
 whose property extended a little distance up the street; next on this street was Tliomas 
 Scottow's house aud garden. A part of this, which is substantially the present City Hall 
 lot, he sold to the Town in 1645; on this was built the first School-house. Our Master, 
 Mr. Woodmausey, lived in Scottow's old house. Between the teacher's house aud the 
 School-house, in 1G.j2, Richard Cooke was permitted to build, on payment of a ground rent, 
 which went for the teacher's salary. Interesting facts couccruiug other early tenants aud 
 residents on this street will bo found in the Second Report of the Record Commissioners, 
 p. 75. Opposite Iliitcliiuson, aud nearly opposite the foot of School Street, lived Governor 
 Winthrop. Next to Hutchinson, on Washington Street, called in Suffolk Deeds (i. GO) 
 •' the high streetc," was the house and garden of Maj. Geu'l Robert Sedgwick, and, iu 
 1645, an "ordinary," then in possession of James I'cn, a man of high consideration, ami a 
 ruling elder in tlio church. In a court running towards the present Court S<|UBrc, wliich 
 we suppose to be what is now Williams Court, stood an old tenement occupied by n poor 
 woman, whose drunkenness was the cause of the "great fire" of 1711. North of Gen. Sedg- 
 wick's Wiis another house and garden, belonging to Valentino Hill, and from a building on 
 this estate it is prol)able that the first nuuiber of the Hoston Jfews Letter wa> pul>li8hed iu 
 1704. North of this lot, as wc learn from Suffolk Deeds ( i. 60) was the hou&c of Philemon 
 
The nearest School to the Latin School was on the east end of Scollay's 
 building,* forming a part thereof, and since cut off to open tlie communica- 
 tion from Tremont St. to Cornhill. It was a public Town School, called 
 Proctor's School, though in my time kept by Master Carter. The boys of the 
 two Schools often met in Tremont St. and dealt out their gibes in passing 
 each othei" — for example : — 
 
 Carter's boys shut up in a pen

 For fear of Latin School gentlemen. 
 
 There was another public writing school in [now] West Street, on land 
 now in whole, or jjart, being Amos Lawrence's garden. Mr. Holbrook was 
 
 Pormort, our first Master ; though we have not found it mentioned in the Book of Posses- 
 sions, it is certain that he did own land in this immediate viciuitj'. Next was the First 
 Meeting House, which occupied the land where Rogers Building now stands. In the rear 
 of this, and north of Hill, was Richard Truesdale's house and garden, and later here 
 resided Benjamin Faneuil, brother of Peter. On the corner lot, where Sears Building is, 
 was the house and yard of John Leverett. On Court Street, formerly Queen Street, and 
 long called Prison Lane, next to Leverett was the house, barn and yard of Richard 
 Parker, which was bounded east by the Market place (see Book of Possessions, Second 
 Report Record Commissioners, p. 96). Where the Court House now is was the old prison, 
 behind which was a garden. The prison itself was au old building of stone, described by 
 one of its tenants as " the nearest resemblance to a hell upon earth," its outer walls thi'ee 
 feet thick, its unglazed windows barred with iron, the proximity of which does not seem to 
 have prevented the Latin School boys from breaking the windows in the Chapel, (see A 
 Vindication, etc., Andi-os Tracts, ii. 63), as charges for repairing them are of frequent oc- 
 currence on the early books of the Chapel. Next to the prison was a house early occupied 
 by Richard Tapping, and later by Critchley, who married the widow of Wm. Dinely, to 
 whose heirs belonged the corner lot, on which in Gov. Shirley's days was the house of the 
 famous Boston merchant, John "Wendell. Adjoining this, where the Historical Society's 
 building, and a part of the Museum building stands, was the house and garden of Hemy 
 Messenger, a joiner. Then came the burying ground and the King's Chapel. The Chapel 
 was then a " little wooden building, with three windows on each side, and three at the flat, 
 back of the Church. It had a tower about as high as the present one, surmounted by a tall 
 mast, at whose top was a weather-cock, and half way up a large gilt crown." (Foote's 
 Annals, p. 205.) Tremont Street was then a quiet "back streete leading from Prison 
 lane to the almshouse." (Fifth Report Record Commissioners, p. 73.) On the west side 
 was an orchard, and houses in which at various times were the residences of Cotton, Oxen- 
 bridge, Maude, Bellingham, and Sir Henry Vane. The Common then extended nearly to 
 School Street. Daniel Maude first lived on the east side of Tremont Street, a little south of 
 School Street. 
 
 * This school was that mentioned in the Town Records (1698-9, Jan. 30) as " Lately 
 Built in the Prison Lane on the side of the hill. Over against the Laud of Capt. Samll 
 Sewell." The hill was that so long known as Cotton Hill, and the exact location of the 
 School-house can easily be found from the entry of Dec. 20, 1698, immediately preceding 
 that just quoted. From the Second Report of the Record Commissioners (p. Ill) we learn 
 it was built in 1683-4, as a free writing school ; John Cole was its first master, and about 
 1700, Richard Henchman. (See Drake's Boston, p. 512.) Near it Gov. Endicott seems 
 to have lived until his death.

 ral Ilaldiniand to jirotest against the destruction of their coa.st, an 
 account of which lias l)een given on page 88 of tlie Catalogue, under

 ****■■ Shall close this by giving you a small anecdote, relating to some 
 of our Scliool lads — who as formerly in this season improved the Co:ist from 
 Sherburn's hill down to School street. General Ilaldiman improving the 
 house that belongs to Old Cook, his servant took it upon him to cut up their 
 coast and fling ashes upon it. The lads made a muster, and chose a commit- 
 tee to wait upon the General, who admitted them, and heard their comi)laint, 
 which was coucli'd in ver}' genteel terms, complaining that their fathers 
 before 'em had improved it as a coast from time inuuemorial, «&ca. He 
 ordered his servant to repair the damage, and acquainted the Governor with 
 the affair, who observed that it was impossil)le to beat the notion of Liberty 
 out of the people, as it was rooted in 'em from their chihlhood. 
 
 Among Mr. Lovell's assistants was Mr. Nathaniel Gardner, wlio 
 left school in 1735 and college in 1739. He was a fine scholar, a 
 ]»oet, and a wit, occasionally a preacher, and ahrai/s a merry com- 
 panion. There is a Latin poem extant written when ho was in the 
 School, (dated 1754,) of some hundred verses, in which he describes 
 to his friend Beveridge the round of duties in the School, and the 
 books studied, of which "vve give a specimen in the Appendix. f

 carried by the British troops to Halifax, where he remained six 
 months before he was exchanged. 
 
 After Lovell's departure, the School was closed for a short time* 
 until, in June, 1776, Samuel Hunt, an old pupil of the School and a 
 graduate of Harvard College, in 1765, was transferred from the 
 Noi'th to the South Grammar School, and remained at its head for 
 about thirty years.f He did not have, by any means, an easy time. 
 Conscientious and rigid in discipline, he was occasionally involved in 
 difficulties with the parents of his j^upils, and did not always coincide 
 with the School Committee. J He had reason, too, to complain of his 
 treatment by the town, which did not carry out its contract. He 
 rightly supposed himself to have been established in his office for life. 
 
 * It has generally been supposed that the School remained closed until the 8th November, 
 1776, and under that impression the Latin School Association celebrated the centennial 
 anniversary of the reopening of the School, Nov. 8th, 1876, but statements in papers of 
 Master Hunt, recently recovered, show that pupils were admitted in October and Novem- 
 ber, before November 8th, which renders it probable that the School was opened earlier. 
 
 t " The Latin School, under Master William [an error for Samuel] Hunt, was kept 
 in a small square, biick building, which stood on a lot opposite the present City Hall, 
 in School Street. * * * * 
 
 "The Latin School was divided into four classes, and the books used were : —

 " The wi-iter remembers Master Hunt as a frequent visitor at Mr. Bingham's bookstore. 
 The Committee removed him after several years' service under the new system, and the 
 injustice of the removal was the burden of his conversation. He taught private pupils sev- 
 eral years after he left the public service, was a venerable-looking man, and is well repre- 
 sented by his grand-children, one of whom has been distinguished as a teacher of the same 
 School." — Wm. B. Fowle, Memoii- of Caleb Bingham, in Amer. Jour, of Educ. V. pp. 333 
 and 334. 
 
 X Mr. Hunt's " ideas of school discipline he seems to have taken from his predecessor, 
 and he was not unfrequently ' in hot water ' with the parents of his pupils and with the 
 School Committee. It ought, however, injustice to be said that in those times, more than 
 in these, the relation of teacher and pupil was quite apt to be one of antagonism." — Ihid.

 on a good salary, with certain perquisites and a house to live in. 
 A grant of money was afterwards substituted for his jterquisites, but 
 later his house was taken away and no return made to him. 
 
 After some controversy between him and the Committee, he 
 resigned in 1805, on a pension secured for him by the exertions of 
 the Committee, and moved first to Watertown, and later t<» Kentucky, 
 where he died.* 
 
 An interesting description of the School in those days is given in 
 the following letter from Dr. James Jackson, the well-known phy- 
 sician, a ])upil under Mr. Hunt : — 
 
 Dear Sir, — It is about sixty years, since in May or June, 1785, I first 
 went to the Latin School under :Miister Hunt. It was not in School Sti-eet, 
 but in old Faneuil Hall that I first attended this School ; for tlie old School- 
 house was undergoing repairs that summer. Having just moved into this 
 town, ni}' tliree older brothers and myself were sent to tlie School at an un- 
 usual time of the year, and I was so young that I was not put into any class 
 until the regular period, July, when I was placed in tlie first class, or first 
 foi-m, as we sometimes called it. Those were great days for me; I felt 
 
 * Id tlie diary of Dr. Bentley q£ Salem, an usher in our School from 1776-1778, occurs the 
 following entry : — 
 
 " Oct. 28lh, 1813. We have confirmation of the death of my old schoolmaster, Samuel 
 Hunt, Esq., aged seventy -one. lie died Sept. 8, at Lexington, Kentucky. He was for 
 many years Preceptor of the Grammar School in Boston. In 1767, he succeeded Master 
 PelegWiswall (who died that year, aged eighty-four), and he continued Preceptor of Uic 
 North Grammar School till the Revolution. As Master John Lovell retired to Nova 
 Scotia, a Refugee, upon the evacuation of the town of Boston by the British troops in 
 1776, Mr. Hunt succeeded him, and I united with him as an usher, as his health obliged 
 him to journey. Upon his return and establishment, I went and opened the North School 
 in 1778, which I afterwards left, and went to Cambridge in 1780. [Wni. B. Fowle, to wliora 
 we are indebted for this extract, says : The Diary says 1800, but this is evidently a clericul 
 error. Dr. Bentley graduated in 1777, and was appointed tutor in 1780.] 
 
 " Dr. Cotton Mather tells us that ' Ezekiel Chcvcr came to Boston, Jan. 6, 1C70, and 
 remained thirty-eight years, and died Aug. 21, 1708, in the ninety-fourth year of his age.' 
 He was succeeded by Nathaniel Williams, who graduated at Cambridge, N. E., 1693. He 
 was in the School from 1703 to 1734, having Mr. Lovell as his assistant, and died Jan. 
 1738, aged sixty-three. Mr. Lovell was placed at the head of the School when Mr. Wil- 
 liams resigned in 1734. He was graduated in 1728, became assistant in 1730, and »\wa the 
 death of Mr. Williams had the direction of the School till he left Boston in March, 1776, 
 above forty-two years. Mr. S. Hunt succeeded, and continued till 1804, thirty-seven years 
 from his induction. He had not the critical acumen of Chcver, nor the talents of the phy- 
 sician and divine which united with the eloquence and science of Williams, nor the litera- 
 ture of Lovell ; but he was successful in teaching the rules he adopted, and in preparing 
 his scholars so that they were distinguished by the extent of their elementary knowledge. 
 He was too apt to complain when all were obliged to sufTer, iind alienated the nu'n who 
 succeeded to his old friends but had no estimate of his worth or his scn.'iccs. He was 
 ol>liged to resign to a man who did not long reUiin the public favor."

 elevated, and thence remember the time very well. I remained in the 
 School till December, 1788, when I removed from Boston. 
 
 The Latin School was then divided into seven classes, and the pupils spent 
 seven years in it, usually entering it from seven to nine yeai's of age. Dm'ing 
 this time, however, or after arriving in the tliird class, I believe they went 
 twice a week, half a day, to an English public, or private, school, where 
 they were taught writing and arithmetic, etc. 
 
 The class to which I belonged was a large one, but leaving it early, and 
 not remaming in town to be conversant with my classmates, I have lost the 
 recollection of most of them. Francis Welch, Esq., is the only one living 
 now Avhom I know. The late Judge Peter O. Thacher was of my class, and 
 my great crony while in it. 
 
 Master Hunt was at the head of the School before, and for many years 
 after, I was in it. Mr. Payson iirst, and afterwards Mr. Dingley (afterwards 
 Dr. Dingley of New York), were ushers. 
 
 We began our studies Avith Cheever's Latin Accidence, a book wliich I have 
 always held in great veneration ; next came "quid agis," which you will 
 know means Corderius, his dialogues, if you had the happiness to study the 
 book. This book Avas made easy by the English translation of its short 
 sentences, in columns opposite the Latin ; and I am satisfied that this easy 
 introduction to the reading of a foreign language is the most eligible mode, 
 at least for little boys. Several small works followed, among which I have 
 alway held in sweet remembrance Erasmus's Colloquies, more especially 
 the Alchemist and the SIiip\vreck. I have never since heard of a shipwreck in 
 every detail without brmging to mind this colloquy, which I must have read 
 as early as 1786 or '87. It is not now in a studied recollection only, but 
 most frequently, that this remembrance of those school days, of many par- 
 ticulars in my studies, as well as in my sports, have come back to me with 
 great delight. 
 
 In general, I recollect tliat we were well-drilled in the grammar, so called ; 
 made familiar with the inflexions of words and with tlie rules of syntax ; 
 required to be exact in the pronunciation of words, and in the accent and 
 quantities, though not following all the rules now deemed most correct; 
 and were put early to "making Latin," at first in the easiest and simplest 
 methods. The principle of emulation was in high respect in those days ; we 
 contended for places at every recitation ; and I must say that neither then, 
 nor in other Schools afterwards, nor at College, did I ever discover the evil 
 effects which are ascribed to the influence of this principle at the i:)resent day 
 by gentlemen whom I respect very highly. They may be right ; but I know 
 my fi-iend Peter Thacher and I were almost always next to each other, and 
 were changing places every day, and that we were the best of cronies, all 
 the time, in school and out. The same was true as to others, under my close 
 observation, in this and other Schools, and in College. At least, generally, 
 neither envy nor hatred was engendered between the nearest rivals ; but, on 
 the contrary, a sincere friendship was maintained between them in many 
 instances. 
 
To these desultory remarks I wish to add sometliing respecting Master 
 Hunt. He certainly was not well si)oken of among his boys, when I was in 
 his School, and if their judgments were to be relied on, he was not among 
 the excellent. But the .same was true in respect to most of the school ma.sters 
 1 knew when a boy. It seemed to be matter of course to find fault witli the 
 Master. And, at College, the excellent Prest. Willard w:is spoken of in 
 terms that were opprobrious by the pupils imder him ; so tliat it was not till 
 my Junior year that I discovered that he was not a cold, au.stere, heartless 
 despot, but on the other hand, a man of great sensibility, tnily tender- 
 hearted, a lover of justice, but not given to severity. !Ma.ster Hunt was a 
 passionate man ; and certainly committed errors from this cause. But tliese 
 were occasional. In general he was kind, and he was, I think, greatly inter- 
 ested in the welfare and improvement of his scholars. While I was in his. 
 School he was frequently adopting temporary measures to excite an interest 
 in their studies among his pupils. Often he would come into school and 
 write with chalk some Latin sentence on the wall. Labor omnia vincU, is 
 one of the earliest of these wliich I recollect. At one period he took lialf a 
 day in each week for a general examination. He began with the first chiss, 
 going thro' the books tliey luul studied, and went up to the seventh, the 
 hii'hest, calling on each boy to answer some question, to translate a sentence, 
 to parse a word, or to scan a line. He would always make us repeat the 
 rule in syntax and in i)rosody. 
 
 In this way the earliest studies were recalled to the oldest scholars, and the 
 youngest formed some notions of the whole matter to be studied. The School 
 was in perfect silence during tiiis time, and all were accjuiring some know- 
 ledge. When the interest in this plan began to flag he dropped it, and so as 
 to other temporary practices. At another period he called on the two highest 
 scholars to choose sides, and the wh(jle School was divided between them. 
 Then questions were put, as in the other case, and the contest was wliidi side 
 should give the most correct answers. The interest attending these contests 
 was very great ; and I do not recollect that tlicy ever gave rise to bickering, 
 or ill-feelings of any sort. Sometimes the old Master would tiike oci-asion to 
 speak in commendation of liis former pupils; and most especially of Harry 
 Otis, as he was not irri'verently called in those days, for he was just com- 
 mencing the active business of life. ]Mr. Otis had not then shown that ho 
 was the most elo<iuent of popular orators in our town : lie was not yet at tlie 
 head of the bar, nor yet the most prominent leader in our General Court in a 
 high-minded and patriotic party. But at that day blaster Hunt distinguislied 
 him as the first among the scholars ho had educated, noting his industry and 
 accuracy as a student, as well as the great talents which, in his anticipations, 
 destin<Ml him to be one of the great men of the land. We boys had reason to 
 rejoice in this high and just estimate of oiu' venerable friend ; for when Mr. 
 Otis became Major of the Boston Light Infantry, Master Hunt gave us a half- 
 lioliday whenever that company " turned out," in lionor of tlui Conunander : 
 always endeavoring by his remarks to incite us to imitate the liero in )iis in- 
 dustrv at least. I make this statement as creditable to the sagacity of Mr,

 Hunt, showing that he was not a mere pedagogue ; and of his readiness to 
 avail himself of everything which would incite in his pupils the love of good 
 learning. 
 
 You will not doubt, my dear sir, that it is nearly sixty years since I was at 
 our great School. Old men tell long stories and run into little details. Let 
 them jjass. I sat down desirous to show you that I remembered the School 
 Avith great pleasure, and always have, and I regret that I did not go through 
 its whole course of studies ; and also desirous to do credit to Master Hunt, of 
 whom, since I arrived at years of discretion, I have always thought well. I 
 think his pupils did not do him justice, and that some occasional sallies of 
 passion were remembered by them, while many excellent, daily services, 
 performed with a good spirit and honest purposes, were overlooked.

 Oct. 4, 1844. To Benj. A. Gould, Esq. 
 
 William Biglow, who had for some time previous been a teacher in 
 Salem, succeeded Mr. Hunt. Whatever his qualifications as an in- 
 structor, he was no more successful as a disciplinarian than his prede- 
 cessor. He is said by those who remember his government to have 
 been harsh and severe. The boys rebelled at his rule, and resisted 
 his authority.* 
 
 In his speech at the dinner of the Boston Latin School, in 1876, 
 Ralph Waldo Emerson thus speaks of Mr. Biglow : — 
 
 When I entered the Latin Scliool, nine or ten years old, William Biglow 
 was master. The School-house was very old and shabby, and it was decided 
 to pull it down and rebuild it on the same ground. In rebuilding, the 
 scholars were removed to the old wooden block on the Milldam,t and soon 
 after to a lot on Pemberton Hill. You need not seek for the places for 
 you cannot find them. One was where the Boston & Maine Depot now 
 stands, and the other was where Scollay's Building stood, now called 
 Tremont Row. 
 
 The new School-house was rebuilt where the Parker House now stands. 
 In Mr. William Biglow's reign the boys discovered his habit of drinking, and 
 one day when he was giving orders to the boys on one side of the School 
 there was a sudden shout on the opposite side. He turned around amazed 
 to them, and instantly the boys on the eastern side roared aloud. I have 
 never known any rebellion like this in the English Schools to surpass it. I 
 think the School was immediately dismissed and I think Mr. Biglow never 
 entered it again. I remember that on the following morning the prayer was 
 simply these words: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they 
 do."

•46 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 Rufus Dawes, another pupil of Mr. Billow, in an article entitled 
 Boyhood Memories^ in tlie Boston '' Miscellany," for February, 1843, 
 thus clescri1)es the School of his day : 
 
 The public Latin School (before the days of Mr. Gould, who was 
 
 another Luther to these places), presented the oddest sight conceivable. 
 What a pity tlie old house could not have been suffered to remain ; for it was 
 the riaiTow of Ilan'ard University! There were to be seen such names as 
 "Isaac Coffin " can-ed on tlie forms; (the old admiral had been one of 
 Master LovePs scholars), and other pen-knife memorials of generations 
 passed away. Sir Isaac loved to talk about the old school-liouse, and lauglied 
 heartily when I told him that I had the " Gradus " of his boyhood, orna- 
 mented with his pen-drawings of ships, the keepsake which he gave my 
 father when he ran away to join the British navy. Those drawings show- 
 that "the boy is father of the man,"' and how tlie under-current of the mind 
 works out the character, regardless of the drift at the surface; for he 
 was an excellent scholar, and was to have liad the " first part" on leaving 
 .school 
 
 Somewhere about 1811, the public Latin School was under the charge of 
 a man, whose soubriquet was " Sawnej-," an extremelj" original and eccen- 
 tric Ciiaracter, who lorded it over four or five classes of the most intractable 
 and turbulent fellows, sixty or seventy in nimiber, that ever met together 
 to have Latin and Greek hammered into them. Yet among tiiem were some 
 " spirits finely touched," who were destined to shine with " the bright, 
 paiiicular stars " of the intellectual firmament. I will jwint out one of 
 them : — 
 
 It is 8 o'clock A. l<l. : and the thin gentleman in black, with a small, jointed 
 cane under his arm, his eyes deeph' sunken in his head, has asked that spirit- 
 ual-looking boy in blue nankeen, who seems to be about ten yeare old, to 
 "touch the bell," — it was a privilege to do this; and there he stands! tliat 
 boy — whose image, more than any others, is still deeply stam2)cd upon my 
 mind, as I then saw him and loved him, I knew not wliy, anil thought liiin 
 so angelic and remarkable — feeling toward him more than a boy's emotion, 
 as if a new spring of brotherly afl'ection had suddenly broken loose in my 
 heart. There is no indication of turbulence and disquiet about him ; but, 
 with a iKippy combination of energy and gentleness, Iiow truly is he the father 
 of the man ! lie lias touched the bell, and while he Uikes his scat among 
 his fellows, he little dreams that in after-times, he will strike a difVerent 
 note, and call around him a school of the transcendental philosophy. He is 
 Ralph Waldo Emeiwon. 
 
 After a i)ray(!r, the morning exercises commence ; Sawney, with the 
 jointed cane in his hand, prepares to hear the lessons, studied over night. 
 A boy has committed some indiscretion, and the ratan, rushing through the 
 air, descends on his shouhlers. 
 
 " I wont be slnickfor nothing .'" screams the urchin. 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. 47 
 
 " Then, Til strike you for something,'^ replies Sawney, while the ratan 
 whizzes again about his ears. 
 
 ' ' jVIind out, how you hit me on the cheek ! " exclaims the same fellow, 
 at the top of his voice. 
 
 " Do you call that your cheek!" rejoined Sawney, imitating a malignant 
 smile, and, at the same time, cutting the boy in the immediate neighborhood 
 of the breech, "then turn your other one, you scamp !" 
 
 While this thrashing, and the altercation betAveen the thrasher and the 
 thrashed are going on (and they generally go together) , the other side of the 
 room yells out a hideous shout in full chorus, much in the style of the New 
 I York milkmen of Winnebago celebrity^ ; and while fi'om tliis choir some one 
 I performer more conspicuous than the rest is singled out for a flogging, the 
 j other side, in its tui-n, screams like a w^ounded elephant, or a steam-engine. 
 } Thus for some minutes, Sawney has to travel baekivard and forward, 
 j thrashing this side and saluted by that, alternatelj^ ; till at last he stops short 
 I in the middle of the room while the tumult stops shoit likewise. " I'll tell 
 j you what it is, my fine fellows," sa3's he, reconnoitiing the enemy, and peer- 
 ing through his rough eyebrows at them, with mock ferocity : 
 
 " If you'll be good, I'll thank you ! 
 If not, I'll spank you !" 
 
 He generally gave such orders in rhyme, and now delivers himself of this 
 elegant distich in the queer sarcastic manner so peculiar to himself. At this 
 the boys explode in one simultaneous burst of laughter ; which through the 
 successive stages of cachinnation, titter and snuffle, finally subsides beneath 
 the influence of ratan. 
 
 The exercises are now resumed. "Goon!" says Sawney. "Bangs! 
 what is an active verb ? " 
 
 " An active verb," replies Bangs, " is a verb which expresses" 
 
 " Well ! what does an active verb express ? " 
 
 Bangs tvvists and turns, and looks imploringly, first at his right hand class- 
 mate and then at his left ; but neither can prompt him, if he knows ; as 
 probably he does not. 
 
 " Well !" continues Sawney switching the air with his cane, " well, mut- 
 ton-head, what does an active verb express? " 
 
 After a little delay, — " I'll tell you what it expresses," he resumes, bring- 
 ing the stick down upon the boy's haunches with decided emphasis, " it 
 expresses an action and necessarily supposes an agent, (flourishing the 
 cane, which descends again as before,) and an object acted upon. As 
 castigo te, I chastise thee : do you understand now, hey?" 
 
 " Yes, sir ! yes, sir ! " replies the boy, doing his best to get out of the way 
 of the ratan. But Sawney is not disposed to let him off so. 
 
 " Now tell me when an active verb is also called transitive.''^ 
 
 " I don't know, sii'," drawls Bangs, doggedly. 
 
 " Don't joii ? " follows Sawney ; " then I'll inform you. An active verb 
 is called tx'ansitive, when the action passeth over (whack, whack ! ) to the 
 
48 
 
 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 object. You (whack!) are the ohjert. I :im (irhark .' ) tin; agent. Now 
 take care how you go home and say that I never taught you anything. Do 
 you hear? " (whack.') 
 
 " Don't hit me again on tlie car I'''' shrieks Bangs, shaking liis head at the 
 master, and doubling up his fists under the form. But a few more whacks 
 imdouble tliem again, and reduce him to a sullen obedience. 
 
 " Tlie class in Viri Romce! " exclaims Sa^NTiey. 
 
 Some dozen boys now flutter their dog-eared books, and prepare for their 
 customary hiding. 
 
 ♦' Smith second, begin ! " 
 
 Smith second licks his lips, but not exactly as boys do when they hear the 
 Governor's proclamation for Thanksgiving of a Sunday afternoon in the 
 "meeting-house," — that annual death-warrant to the turkeys; but he licks 
 his lips, nothwitlistanding, and begins — 
 
 ^'^Ecec clades — hvc clades — '' alas, he can get no further. 
 
 " Well !" says Sawney, "translate; what is the English of A«c cZ«dc5, I 
 should like to know ?" 
 
 " Hoec clades,^'' resumes Smitli second, " these things.''^ 
 
 •' The next !" cries Sawney, in disgust. 
 
 The next, knowing no bettor than the first, is nevertheless thankful to 
 Smith second, for having &a.id something, and he evidently believes the afore- 
 said to be pretty good authority, for he very promptly insists on his transla- 
 tion, by repeating after him — 
 
 " Hfjec clades — these things.'" 
 
 *' The next!" exclaims the master, restlessly. 
 
 But they all follow in the wake of Smith second, and insist upon "these 
 things " to the last one — who happens to be the first and the only one who 
 knows anything about the lesson. 
 
 " Ilcec clades,'''' says Leveuett, afterwai-d the accomplished Principal of 
 the same School, " this overthrow " — 
 
 " Right ! " exclaims the master ; "go on ! " 
 
 " And now," calls Sawne}', the recitation having been gone through with, 
 "come out here, you /i«c cladcsicUowa ; " and then taking one after tlie other, 
 holding on to his collar, he whirls him around, in a primitive kind of waltz, 
 beating time on the boy's back with his cane, while he sings, " hiec clades— 
 these things,'^ to the tune of Yankee Doodle. " Now take your seats," says 
 he, rallier fatigu('<l with the exerciso ho has heard and the exercise ho has 
 taken ; " and if this don't operate. 111 double tlie dose." Then calling one of 
 the boys aside, he sends him down to " Richardson's" for a mug of " cider 
 and pearl-ash." 
 
 Refreshed with this accustomed beverage, Sawney's himself again ; and 
 casting his eyes round the room, he discovers some idle fellows trajiping tiles 
 and securing tlicni in cagfS cut in the forms, and nicely grated with pins. 
 The ratan is aiiujug them instantly. The files soar away to tlio ceiling, and 
 Sawney's imagination soars in company. 
 
" I'll tell 3'ou what it is," sings the pedagogue bard : 
 
 " If I see any boy catching i3ies, 
 I'll whip him till he cries, 
 And make the tears run out of his eyes." 
 
 In the Virgil class, a translation (Davidson's) was always handed round 
 for the use of the boys, who notwithstanding this indulgence, hardly ever 
 took the trouble to study more than their respective sentences ; for as the 
 recitation invariably commenced with the head of the class, each one could 
 calculate pretty nearly which passage would come to himself. A new tutor, 
 however, finding this out, one day threw the class into confusion by begin- 
 nmg with the fag end. That gentleman, now a distinguished clergyman, 
 undertook in a very i^raiseworthy, though then unpopular manner, to effect 
 somewhat of a refoi'm in the School, so far as he was concerned; and the 
 scenes that were enacted in consequence would be almost incredible in these 
 days of better order. 
 
 In the absence of the principal, the discipline of the new tutor produced a 
 complete rebellion. Not content with disputing every inch of ground in the 
 conquest he attempted, they shot at him with pop-guns ; and, during the 
 recess, filling their pockets with stones, they hurled them about the room till 
 the floor was like the upper part of a sea-beach. One boy actually stepped 
 out on the floor, and challenged him to a game of fisticuffs. He got a thrash- 
 ing for it of course, but it only made matters worse. However, in a day or 
 two, Sawney returning, there was a general dusting of jackets, and com- 
 parative order was restored. 
 
 Sometimes, of a warm summer afternoon, nothing whatever was done in 
 school, and Sawney beguiled the hour by calling to his desk eveiy boy in 
 I'otation, and questionmg him as to the profession or occupation he intended 
 to pursue in after life. The boys, generally, made sport of this ; for while 
 one would say that he meant to be a minister, and another a lawyer, most 
 of them proposed such employment for their manhood as candle-snuffers and 
 lamplighters ; and he had always a word of advice or a joke for each, accord- 
 ing to his avowed intention. 
 
 If the boj'S desired a half-holiday on tlie occasion of a " muster" or the 
 like, they had nothing more to do than to unhang the bell-roi^e and hide it 
 away, and the vacation was the bribe, and the only inducement that could be 
 brought to bear upon them, to restore it. 
 
 Before a public examination, there was a general preparation and cram- 
 ming for the occasion. A very few pages of the book we were to be exam- 
 ined in were marked off and regularly drilled into us day after day ; and the 
 boys were so often " taken up " at a particular place during the preparation, 
 that no one could doubt an instant of the exact passage he would be called on 
 to show off in before the "fathers of the town." I very well remember 
 that one boy, having been drilled pretty thoroughly in the declining of 
 " duo,'''' was inadvertently called on to decline " tres,'''' before the assembled 
 wisdom. He faltered, looked toward Sawney at first completely dumb- 
 
50 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 foundered; then in utter despair faltered out, *• Thnfs not viy word, sirT'' 
 The mistake was instantly corrected, and the boy did "duo"' to admiration. 
 Such, far from being exaggerated, are some of my boyhood memories of 
 schools ; and were it not for wearying the reader, (for how can I be sure of 
 his interest?) I could tell of even stranger things ; as for instance, of nearly 
 three months' vacation at one time, while the teacher was out of health, and 
 the boys, in the mean time, frolicked at their will, their unconscious parents 
 flattering themselves that all was going on well. But let it pass, with tlie 
 fun we had with the old tailor who worked below, and "all that sort of 
 thing I ■■ — for it ended sadly in the death and funeral of the good and highly 
 intellectual teacher, at whose obsequies the illustrious Buckmiksteu ofliciated 
 in the old Hancock House. 
 
 After about nine years, during a large part of which, as will be 
 seen from the School Committee Records, he was involved in more 
 or less controversy with the board, Mr. Biglow resigned his office. 
 Some further account of him will be fouml under liis name in the 
 list of Head-Masters on page 8 of tlie Catalogue. The Committee then 
 determined to choose as Master in his place a young man whose inex- 
 perience in teaching would have a compensation in his not being so 
 wedded to any particular mode of discii)line or instruction, as to be 
 prevented from adapting himself to the requirements of the School. 
 
 The choice which they made, on the advice of President Kirkland, 
 of Benjamin Apthorp Gould, then a member of the senior class 
 at Harvard College, proved most fortunate for the School, which, 
 under him, regained public confidence. Mr. Emerson, in his speech 
 above referred to, thus tells the manner in which Mr. Gould was 
 introduced to the School : 
 
 The School Committee, Mr. Bulfinch, the famous arclutect who built our 
 State House and the Capitol at Washington, JNIr. Thacher, Mr. Wells, and 
 the rest of the Committee if there were more, or their friends, came to school 
 and introduced Mr. Bcnjamui Gould as the new Master. ]\Ir. Thacher ad- 
 dressed us, and expressed every confidence in tlio high merit of Mr. Gould 
 as a scholar and a giMitleman, and congratulated the boys upon his aj)i)oint- 
 ment. As soon as tho Conmiittce took tlicir hats and turned from the door, 
 the boys began to buzz their opinions of tho inw Master in low tones. Mr. 
 Gould turned towards them and lifted his finger to command silence, which 
 was instantly accorded, and from that moment he ruled. He was an excel- 
 lent Master, and loved a good scholar and waked his ambition. 
 
 Mr. Gould in his first year incited the boys to found a .school libnirj', which 
 was inunccliiitcly begun and grew rapidly. Ho valued good s]>i'aking, and 
 Satunlay moniing was devoted to declamation. Ho diil not forget his ])upils 
 when they entered college, but came to s«>o them there, and especially if h(> 
 found that they were losing ground in any department of study. Mr. Gould 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. 51 
 
 one day infonned the School that there was a rumor that the British govern- 
 ment Avas going to send a hostile fleet to Boston harbor, and that a gentleman 
 had desired that the boys of the School should give one day to assist in throw- 
 ing up defences on Noddle's Island, and that all who were ready and willing 
 to go should be at the bottom of Hanover sti-eet the next day at nine o'clock, 
 when a boat Avould be in waiting to cany them to the island. The whole 
 school went. I went : but I confess that I can't remember a stroke of work 
 which I or my school fellows accomplished. "Whether the news of this 
 action on the j^art of the Latin School reached England and decided their 
 government to sue for peace, I have never learned. 
 
 The Honorable Robert C. Winthrop, also a pupil of Mr. Gould, 
 in his speech* as presiding officer at the dinner of the Latin School 
 Association in 1877, speaks of him as " the excellent and true-hearted 
 Benjamin Apthorp Gould, as genial as he w^as gifted, who swayed 
 even the ferule, which he rarely used, with singular dignity and 
 grace — more often patting the hand lovingly with it by way of -warn- 
 ing, than dealing blows by way of punishment ; an admirable Head- 
 Master, to whom we were all attached. Of each of these Masters,! 
 indeed, we could say with Goldsmith : 
 
 'Yet he was kiuJ, or if severe in aught. 
 The love he bore to learning was in fault.' " 
 
 At the dinner in 1879, the Rev. James Freeman Clarke, D. D., the 
 presiding officer, thus spoke of his relations with the School : 
 
 I am sure I have every reason to be grateful to the Latin School and its 
 Masters for what they did for me, for the influence they have exerted on my 
 life. I am sure the benefits of the public school can hardly be overrated. I 
 was a jDoor, pmiy, insignificant child when I went to the Latin School, 
 brought up at home, knowing nothing about boys ; but I soon learned a 
 great deal about them. Good ]\Iaster Gould used to flog us in a noble way, 
 but it was over veiy soon. We had to learn our Latin Grammar, we had to 
 commit it to memoiy ; the first year was devoted to Latin Grammar. I can 
 repeat passages from the Latin Grammar which I learned fifty years ago, 
 and which I have never had occasion to use from that day to this. 
 
 In order that the School might better satisfy the wants of the com- 
 munity, the School Committee, on the appointment of Mr. Gould, 
 introduced some changes in the rules and discipline, which he thus 
 describes in his article in the Prize Book, already referred to : — 
 
 * The whole speech, which contains many interesting reminiscences of his school-days 
 and mates, is printed in the third volume of Mr. Winthrop's Works. 
 t He had previously spoken of Dr. J. Grcely Stevenson and Dr. Joseph Palmer. 
 
52 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 " * * Among the most important changes which took place 
 was a regulation that boys should be admitted but once a year, 
 according to the ancient usage of this School, to prevent thereby 
 the continual interruption of classes ; that no boy should be allowed 
 to be absent except in case of sickness, or some domestic calamity ; 
 that no certificate or apology should in any case be received for 
 tardviess, but that whoever should come after the hour should be 
 deprived of his seat for that half day, and bring from his parent or 
 guardian a satisfactory excuse for absence, before he could be again 
 admitted to his place. Tliis salutary regulation was adopted from 
 a conviction that it is better for an individual to lose a half day's 
 instruction, than that the School should be interrupted after the 
 exercises have commenced." 
 
 These and other judicious regulations, together with the personal 
 exertions and high-minded policy pursued by the School Committee, 
 gradually restored the confidence of the community to the School. 
 In August of 1814, thirty boys were admitted ; in the August fol- 
 lowing, fifty ; and in 1816, as none were in the mean time deemed 
 fit to enter college, the number had so increased as to render an 
 additional room and assistant necessary. The reading school was 
 therefore removed from the middle story of the scliool-house, and 
 the room a])propriated to the use of the Latin School, which had 
 hitherto been confined to the ujiper floor. As the number of scholars 
 continued to increase yearly, additional instructors and additional 
 rooms were provided as occasion required. 
 
 In 1828 Mr. Gould resigned to go into business, and was succeeded 
 by his assistant, Frederick P. Leverctt, the author of the Latin Lex- 
 icon bearing his name. 
 
 The Hon. William M. Evarts, one of his most distinguished pupils, 
 thus speaks of his life in school under him in the speech which he 
 delivered at the dinner of the Latin School Association in 1876 : — 
 
 My life at school was a very liai)])y one. 1 know nothing:: more regular, 
 more scholarly, and, in school days, more comi^letoly Hmiteil to learning 
 and reciting lessons. Four times a day, back and forth, I passed from School 
 Street to Pinckney Street, varying tlie route a little by piissuig tlie Park Street 
 comer of the Common, or going around Beacon Street. Four times a day, 
 every wt^ek day, accompanied almost always down or returning by one or 
 more schoolmates ; and as far as I recollect there w:us very litth' thought of 
 iiifluenee over Uio scholars, behind that of instruetion and discipline in learn- 
 ing. I catinot recall any influence upon the souls or morals that was exerted 
 by the School, except by the association of ingenuous boys of good social

 position and influence at home. I should think the School was wholly occu- 
 l)ied with the teaching of lessons and the hearing of them, and with instruc- 
 tion in composition and in declamation. We have had in this country some 
 schools that have brought to bear upon the children committed to them more 
 of that high and impoilant and enduring influence, — what we all associate 
 with the name of " Arnold " in England. No doubt a school like the Latin 
 School, where the boys all live at home, and where every influence, moral and 
 religious, is secured to them, precisely that kind of influence and authority 
 that I have referred to is not expected, and may not be imparted ; but from 
 what I have heard said here to-night, I imagine tliat since my time there 
 has perhaps been more of that influence on the part of ISIasters over the 
 scholars than during my period. There was not very much need of punish- 
 ment, and I don't think i^unishment was administered when it was not needed 
 during my experience with the School. ****** 
 
 As for the service of education, I suppose there Avill always be a contro- 
 versy whether discipline or acquisition is the principal object. To my mind 
 it has always been clear that discipline was the main object of education. 
 As I have felt in my own experience as a scholar, and have always endeav- 
 ored to teach my boys, that if a young person can be taught well what they 
 don't Avish to do at all, then you may trust them to do pleasant and easy 
 things that they prefer ; and if they lose this as a fimdamental discipline in 
 those school days, there is no hard discipline, even in I'eal life, that can 
 repair the mischief that they have suff'ered. It would seem to me, therefore, 
 that discipline we had at the Latin School. I certainly Avas taught to say in 
 the most perfect manner the longest list of Latin names and prepositions that 
 I didn't wish to learn at all, became intimately acquainted in their Avhole ped- 
 igree and relation with large nouns and words that I never expected to meet 
 in my subsequent life at all ; but ha^-ing learned that, I could learn other 
 things very easily. Xow the first thought, as it seems to me, of so many 
 graceful seminaries for girls and boys is, that the teachers not only do the 
 teaching, but do the learning as well. I never could see any good reason for 
 making so many Latin grammars. I Avish my boys could have such a gram- 
 mar as I did, and if they learned it as Avell as I did, they would have learned 
 a great deal more towards the mystery of Latin than from the improper 
 insti-uction in the large grammars that they noAv have. 
 
 Mr. Leverett resigned in 1831 to take charge of a private school, 
 and was succeeded by Charles K. Dillaway, a i^upil of the School in 
 1818, a graduate of Harvard College in 1825, and from 1827 Usher or 
 Sub-Master in the School. Under him, as Avill be seen by the Cata- 
 logue, the number of pupils increased, large accommodations Avere 
 required, the standard of the School was maintained, and more 
 graduates were sent to college. 
 
 Mr. Dillaway still lives in a ripe old age, held in Avarm esteem b}' 
 the generations of the School, both the few survivors of his pupils, 
 
64 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 and those who have Bucceeded to their places. He is, and has been 
 since 1860, the president of the Latin School Association. 
 
 In 1830, on account of ill-health, he resigne<l and was succeeded by 
 Mr. Leverett, who however died soon after his reappointment, and 
 before assuming the office. 
 
 After the death of Mr. Leverett, Epes Sargent Dixwell, a pupil 
 of the School in 1816, a graduate of Harvard College in 1827, and 
 for a year Sub-Master of the School, was appointed his successor, 
 and held the office until 1851, when he resigned, and established a 
 private school. 
 
 Possessing the respect and love of his pupils, not a few of whom, 
 like those of his predecessor John Lovell, have occupied, or still hold, 
 with honor and dignity, positions of influence in church and state, he 
 is passing the closing yer.rs of a rich and rij)ened manhood in the 
 neighboring city of Cambridge ; frequently visiting the scene of his 
 early labors, and ready with voice and pen (as will be seen by the ode 
 in the Appendix*) to contribute to the ]»rosperity, the honor, and 
 the success of the School. 
 
 As we have let the pupils of previous Masters testify to their 
 recollections of the School, so we will let one of his, who has 
 since acquired a distinguished position and a high reputation as an 
 educator. 
 
 At the first dinner of the Latin School Association, President Eliot 
 said : — 
 
 The present School Committee would not suffer Master Lovell to teach 
 school in liis fashion one session. AVe would not :uiy of us send om- boys to 
 tlie Latin School of sixty years ago, if it could be restored to School Street. 
 * * * * I don't pretend to liave been happy in the School, in tlio work 
 of the School, as I think boys should bo liai^py in the work of their .school, 
 and as I think and know tliat boys now are happy in tlie work of ;i good 
 many schools. 
 
 * * * I will mention two reasons why we may stand by tJiis School 
 imder all circumstances to help and jjerpetuate. Tlie sti'ongest feeling is a 
 gi'cat admiration and profound respect for tlie purpose of tlio School, of 
 training Ijoys in more liberal ways, beyond the narrow limit of immediate 
 utility, and of giving them knowledge of studies wliich shorti'u and elieer 
 human life. It is the })ur])os») of the Seliool wliirli raises it in our eyes.

 mind whenever the Boston Latin Seliool is named. I mean the sentiment

of intense local aflfeetion and pride. We all of us love this good city of 
 Boston. ******* \Yq know in this old town of Boston, which 
 grew up about meeting-houses and school-houses, about some fort-crowned 
 liills and a public Common, — that it is the character of its people that 
 has determined its industries, and not its industries that have determined 
 the character of its people. Well, now, such an institution as this Latin 
 School of ours, so high in pui-pose, so imremitting in its work, has a pro- 
 found effect in moulduig and determining the character of this jjeople. 
 And, therefore, it is because we love Boston that we desire to see this 
 School live and thrive, beax'ing the same honored name, having the same 
 high ijm-pose, and maintaining its origmal organization. 
 
 Mr. Dixwell was succeeded by Francis Gardner, a pupil of the 
 Latin School in 1822, a graduate of Harvard College in 1831, and 
 from that time to the day of his death, wdth the exception of one year 
 spent in Europe, a teacher in the School. To describe Dr.* Gardner, 
 or what he did, to a Latin School boy of the present or last genera- 
 tion, is a work of supererogation. No man was better known in Bos- 
 ton. His class-mate, Wendell Phillips, says, " He was, from mere 
 boyhood and life long, eminently a just man, only claiming fair-play, 
 and more than willing to allow it to others. I never knew the time, 
 even in his boyhood, when he did not detest or depise a sham." 
 
 One of his pupils thus writes concerning him : — 
 
 This great Master, whatever else he lacked, had character, not of the fine- 
 lined, sentimental kind, cut and polished as a well-proportioned statue, but 
 in bulk, a massive bulwark pi'otestmg against all cant, superciliousness and 
 untruth. All who came under liis instruction during his more than forty 
 years' connection with the School will testify to this, when they remember his 
 devotion to ti'uth in language and manner, which, if it seemed crade and 
 austere m its simplicity, never deceived any man as to its intent, and was an 
 ever-biding lesson to all under him of a man terribly in earnest, who be- 
 lieved m duty. 
 
 He died January 10, 1876. At a memorial service held by the 
 Latin School Association, Prof. William R. Dimmock, one of his 
 pupils, and subsequently a teacher under him, gave an address, since 
 published by the Association, graphically delineating his character 
 and enumerating his services to the School, from which the following 
 extracts are taken : — 
 
 This was the uneventful life of Dr. Gardner: his daily coui'se in and 
 out of the same house for more than thirty years, at the same School for

 forty-three; the regular hours, till age began, at tlie g^-ranasium, ar.J !.;u"ly 
 ill Ilia life the daily walk to Koxbury Neck ; the only relaxation loo^^^^- in 
 at the book-stores in seurcli of somclliingtliat he might use in his work ; and, 
 at one period of his life, groping among the piles of books at the Public 
 Library ; a simple, quiet life, that many men might pass, and yet leave 
 nothing distinctive in their record. 
 
 .... In Latin he was a profound student liis work in teaching 
 
 \o.y largely tlu'ough the medium of Latm ; and hence to Latin his best work 
 was given. But no one could hear him conduct a recitation in Homer with- 
 out seeing how minute was his knowledge, and how careful had been his 
 
 study of Greek I have never met any one who had studied the 
 
 grammar of the (Fi'ench) language .so extensively and so thoroughly 
 
 lie liad studied both German and Italian sufficiently for such uses as he had 
 
 in view And how well he knew the English language His 
 
 acquaintance with history was large .... He eagerly read anything 
 upon tlie subject of his profession, and was always ready to welcome the 
 thoughts of any man of real expei'ience or knowledge His knowl- 
 edge was exact and always ready for use He always studied sub- 
 jects 
 
 Tliat iron frame and those immense powers gave him gi'eat capabilities 
 for work, for he never used them to fatigue. No ordinary toil or care could 
 
 weary him Tlujrough and systematic in instruction, he trained his 
 
 pupils to good habits of study, to mentid accuracy, and solid foundations of 
 learning. 
 
 .... The great object tliat he aimed at in his instructions was that the 
 boys in their classical work should learn Latin and Greek, and not merely 
 
 to translate certain selections from the languages He had a ceitain 
 
 gi-im humor, and an odd quaintness of expression, that were very effective 
 in his dealings with the boys, and often very amusing, as his favorite 
 phrases, terse commentaries and keen sarcasm, were repeated and passed 
 through the School. 
 
 At the time of his last illness Dr. Gardner was granted by the 
 School Committee a leave of absence, which expired tlie very day of 
 ills deatli. lie was thus the iirst Head Master to die in office since 
 the death of E/.ekiel Cheever. 
 
 From Dr. Dimmock's address and from the recollections of his 
 pupils, a most valuable biography of Dr. Gardner might be })re|>ared. 
 Our limits forbid us to make any such attempt. It must not be 
 thought, however, that all his pupils admired him. A man of such 
 decided character necessarily had enemies as well as friends, and all 
 who came under his instruction wouhl not paint him in colors so 
 glowing as those Dr. Diminock has used. It is well to liave liad 
 that, so creditable, side of bis character, so strongly presented. It

 may be well not to attempt to present a reverse side.* Those who 
 Avere pupils under him, however, will be glad to have preserved the

 *The following communication appeared in a Boston newspaper, soon after the deliveiy 
 of Dr. Dimmock's address : 
 
 EEMINISCENCES OF FRANCIS GARDNER. 
 
 To the Editors of the Boston Daily Advertiser: 
 
 I think many of Dr. Gai-dner's pupils will agree with me that there has been much 
 indiscriminate eulogy of that worthy man. lutegritj' of purpose, devotion to work, a 
 manliness (which saved him from petty meanness, but not from irascible wrong headed- 
 ness,) good sense and sound moralitj', most pupils will credit him with. He was a capital 
 drill-sergeant, had the whole routine of the school work at his fingers' ends, his athletic 
 build inspired a wholesome awe, and if his severity at times excited hatred, I think there 
 were few scholars in my time, which lay in the first half of this century, Avho did not feel 
 that under "Old Gardner's" rough exterior there was a kindly heart. I have heard dif- 
 ferent accounts from a later generation, which, if true, indicate a willful perversity of dis- 
 position quite unworthy of him. 
 
 His time being occupied in the round of lessons and recitations, he naturally took but 
 little notice of his pupils individually, and rarely had any advice adapted to special needs. 
 He was decidedly unjust in his estimate of the motives of certain boys, and actually dis- 
 couraged some who meant well. But this arose from want of insight into varieties of 
 character. Occasionally a cheering word would come out. I remember his saying frankly 
 to one boy, Avho was not by any means up to the required standard in "Andrews and Stod- 
 dard," "You understand principles if you don't know rules," which, considering the sanc- 
 tity of the i-ules, was almost a profanity, and might Lave had demoralizing consequences, 
 but I think did not. Possibly his best boj's may have had particular attention from him. 
 Dr. Dimmock seems to have drawn an inspiration from him in which few others shared. 
 
 His dress was negligent and his manners and language homeh'. He affected a cei-tain 
 Yankeeism of speech, and I remember distinctly his pooh-poohing the fashionable distinction 
 between the words " ride " and " drive," and defending the expressions " your folks" and 
 " his folks." The question which all boys ask, " What is the use of Latin and Greek ? " he 
 met with " The wisdom of our ancestors." His manner of making the prayer with which 
 School opened was not specially reverent ; but misconduct at prayer-time was one of the 
 worst offences, involving special communication with parents and the most serious conse- 
 quences. One particular chapter in the Bible was read by him more frequently than any 
 other, whether from preference or because the book opened there I never knew ; and the 
 text which speaks of the " abomination of desolation standing in the place where it ought 
 not " always recalls him to my memory. He had a stock of catch-words and phrases, 
 which he brought up froni time to time and gave them accumulated significance by repeti- 
 tion. The story of "Eyes and no eyes," and of the old man who first threw grass and 
 then stones, did excellent duty. Sometimes all regular work was suspended for general 
 discussion. He had some theory about this and justified the practice. But occasionally 
 he was artfully drawn into it by designing youths, who enjoyed the relaxation, and a whole 
 morning would be consumed in talk. He was not always magnanimous to opponents, and 
 having invited a free expression of opinion he would censure those who differed from him 
 pretty sharply, and suggest that their moral and spiritual condition could be none of the 
 best, if such were their views. 
 
 Of his scholarship I do not pretend to judge. I can only say that if he had anj' enthu- 
 siasm for learning he did not make us feel it. He gave us few glimpses of the attractions

 Dr. Gardner was Master of the School during tlie years of the 
 Rebellion, and many of his pupils went to do gallant service under 
 their country's flag, but a statement of the relations of the School to 
 the army may well be deferred to a later portion of this sketch. 
 
 Augustine Milton Gay, a graduate of Anihorst College in 1850, one 
 of the Masters of the School, was made Head Master in June, 1876 ; 
 but he was taken ill soon after the close of the summer vacation, and 
 could only attend to his work for a short time each day until Novem- 
 ber, when he died suddenly. 
 
 For the next six months the School was under the charge of Moses 
 Merrill, a graduate of Harvard College in 1850, who was appointed 
 Head Master in June, 1877. He was ai^pointed an usher in the 
 School in 1858, and has been connected Avith it ever since, so that 
 he is thoroughly ac(juainted with its traditions and imbued with 
 its spirit; under his control the aims of the School have been as 
 high as ever, and it is to-day faithfully discharging its task of 
 thoroughly fitting boys for College. 
 
 The history of the Masters is, in a certain sense, a history of the 
 School ; but the credit the School has acquired belongs not alone to 
 those who have been at its head, but largely to those in subordinate 
 capacities who have carried out their plans and seconded their 
 efforts. It would be invidious to single out any of these for special 
 mention. Their names are recorded upon the subsequent pages of 
 this volume, and it is to commemorate all, to whose united efforts the 
 reputation and honor of the School is due, that its jmblication has 
 been undertaken. 
 
 of cl.issical literature. I cannot recall a sinj^le remark of his wiih aiiythiuj; in it to stimu- 
 late our curiosity in philology, or any criticism from an aesthetic point of view. Opinions 
 differ as to the matter of making studies interesting, but I can hardly think if Dr. (Jarducr 
 liad been as intellectual a man as, for example, the autiior of the Day Dreams of a School- 
 master, not to mention more celebrated scholars, that something of his own fondness for 
 the study would not have crept into his instructions. Mr. DixwcU, then the Head Master 
 of tlie School, threw a certain amount of interesting illustration and anecdote into our 
 recitations, and seemed to be a more literary man and fonder of books as books tban 
 Dr. Gardner. 
 
 So that I look back upon him chiefly as a routine teacher, admirable of his kind, and 
 strong in all tiiat relates to character. I think he meant to do his best for us, and that wo 
 owe him much. May Boston always keep his memory green in her civic aunals as that of 
 one of her most honest and useful servants. 
 
 • Appendix K. 
 
Under the names of Lovell and Hunt some account has been given, 
 in letters of their pupils, of the branches taught and the modes of in- 
 struction in the School ; a proj^er history requires that we should now 
 mention the subjects taught, and the methods of teaching in vogue 
 in later times. 
 
 Among Mr. Hunt's papers was found a pamphlet bearing the signa- 
 ture of John Scollay, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, entitled 
 " the System of Public Education, adopted by the Town of Boston, 
 15th Octob. 1789." It was evidently given him to be his guide in 
 regard to the duties and resi^onsibilities of his position, his " march- 
 ing orders," so to speak, and as an interesting contribution to the 
 educational history of the City, (being probably the only copy in 
 existence, or certainly one of a very few copies,) we have thought it 
 worthy of insertion in full in our Appendix.* 
 
 The first article of this pamphlet j^rovides. 
 
 That there be one School in which the rudiments of the Latin and Greek 
 languages shall be taught, and scholars fully qualified for the Universities. 
 Tliat all candidates for admission into this School shall be at least ten 
 years of age, havuig been previously well instructed in English Grammar ; 
 that they shall continue in it not longer than four years, and that they shall 
 have liberty to attend the public writing Schools at such hours as the visiting 
 Committee shall direct. 
 
 Appended to this System are a series of " votes of the Committee 
 appointed to carry it into execution," of which the first is : — 
 
 Tliat the Latin Grammar School be divided into four Classes, and that the 
 following Books be used ui the respective Classes. 
 
 Then follows the list of books already mentioned in the note on 
 l^age 41, and the vote concludes thus : — 
 
 That those Boys who attend the Latin School be allowed to attend the 
 Writing Schools in the following Hours, viz. The 1st Class from half past 
 Nine o'clock, A. M. till Eleven, or from half past Three P. M. as shall be 
 found most convenient, and the 2d Class in the same mamier for the first 
 half of that year. 
 
 December 7th, 1789, it was Voted, that the first Monday in January, 1790, 
 be the time assigned for putting into operation the new system of Education 
 as adopted by the Town, and regulated by this (viz. the inspecting, referred 
 to in a previous vote,) Committee. 
 
 December 21st, 1789, it was Voted, that the Instructor of the Latin School 
 be entitled the Latin Grammar Master j * * *

60 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 After Mr. Gould became the Master, further changes were made, 
 by Avhich the curriculum was much increased. In liis article in the 
 Prize Book, from which we have alreaily freely drawn in these pages, 
 he himself gives an account of the subjects studied, and the methods 
 used in imparting instruction : — 
 
 ■^he scholars ai'c distributed into six separate apartments, imdor the eare 
 of the same number of instinictors ; viz. a Principal, or Head Miusler. a 
 Sub-Master, and four Assistants. For admission, boys must be at least nine 
 yeai's old; able to read con-eetly and with fluency, and to write nnming 
 hand; tliey must know all the stops, marks, and abbreviations, and have 
 sirSicient knowledge of English grammar to jDarse common sentences in 
 prose^ The time of admission is the Friday and Saturday next preceding tlie 
 Commencement at Cambridge, which two days are devoted to the examina- 
 tion of candidates. The regular course of instruction lasts five years ; and 
 the School is divided into five classes according to the time of entrance^- 
 
 ■Wlien a class has entered, the boj's commence the Latin Grammar all 
 together, under the eye of the Principal ; where they continue until he has 
 become in some degi'ee acquainted with tlieir individual characters and 
 capacities. As they change their places at each recitation, those boys will 
 naturally rise to the upper part of the class, Avho are most industrious, or 
 who leani with the greatest facility. After a time a division of from twelve 
 to fifteen boys is taken off from the upper end of the class ; after a few days 
 more, anotlier division is in like manner taken ofl'; and so on until the 
 whole class is separated into divisions of equal number, it having been found 
 that from twelve to fifteen is the most convenient nmnber to drill togetheix' 
 
 In this way boys of like capacities are put togt^ther, and the evil of having 
 some unable to leani the lesson which others get in half the time allowed, is 
 in some measure obviated. The class, thus arranged for the year, is distrib- 
 uted among the assistant teachers, a division to each. This is preferred to 
 keeping them together ; for they ai"e in the room with two divisions of higher 
 classes, there being always three divisions in each apartment, and by the 
 example of older boys they more readily correct their childish foibles and 
 fall in witii the habits of the School. And further, as Avriting is not taught 
 in the School, the younger classes for the first two or three years are dis- 
 missed at eleven o'clock, an hour before school is done, that they may attend 
 a writing school. It is therefore necessary that one division of a class tliat 
 stays till twelve should bo in each room, to aflbrd the instructor employment 
 from eleven to twelve o'clock. This, therefore, is an hour of uninterrupted 
 instruction to a single division in each room, after the other two have been 
 dismissed. 
 
 Wlien this distribution is made, the boys contiime for the year in tJje 
 apartment in which they are first placed, unless some particular rea.son 
 should exist for changing them ; or when tlio higher divisions attenti the 
 Sub-Master for instruction in Geography and ]\Iu(licmatics, to whom these 
 departments are committcil. 
 
HISTOEICAL SKETCH. 61 
 
 This method of studying each branch separately, is adopted throughout 
 the School. The same individuals do not study Latin one part of the day, 
 and Greek the other, but each for a month at a time ; and so with mathe- 
 matics, except that tlie lesson for the evening, which is usually a written 
 exercise, or a portion of Latin or Greek to be conmiitted to memory, is in 
 a different dejiartment from the studies of the day. Li this way the aid of 
 excitement, from tlie continuity of a subject, is secured, and a much more 
 complete view of the whole obtained than when studied in detached portions, 
 and the grammar of neither language permitted to go out of mind. * * * 
 
 <A.t the close of every month the boys in each apartment imdergo a rigid 
 examination in all the studies of that month. This is conducted by the Prin- 
 cipal, with whom only the first class remains permanently, in the presence 
 of their particular teacher, and such other insti'uctors of the School as find it 
 convenient to attend. These monthly examinations are sometimes attended 
 by the sub-committee of the School, and are open for parents, and any other 
 persons interested. If any class, or any individuals, do not pass satis- 
 factoiy examination, they are put back, and made to go over that portion 
 of studies in which they are deficient till they do pass a satisfactory 
 examination. The rank of each scholar and his seat for the succeeding 
 month are determined by this examination, unless an aceomit of places for 
 each recitation of the month has been kept, in which case they are deter- 
 mined by a general average. The boy at the head of the first division of the 
 first class is monitor for the month. The monitor wTites in his bill a list of 
 all the classes, in the order in which they are now arranged ; and notes, each 
 half day, such as are absent. The absences of each individual for a month, or 
 a year, may be known by reference to this bill. 
 
 Boys commence with Adam's Latin Grammar, in learning which they are 
 required to conm^iit to memorj' much that they do not understand at the time, 
 as an exercise of memory, and to accustom them to labor. There are some 
 objections to this, it is true, but it has been found extremely difiicult to make 
 boys commit thoroughly to memory at a subsequent period, what they have 
 been allowed to pass over in first learmng the grammar. It takes from six to 
 eight months for a boy to commit to memory all that is required in Adam's 
 Gi'ammar ; but those who do master the gi'ammar completely, seldom find 
 any difficulty afterwards in committing to memory whatever may be required 
 of them. * * * * 
 
 The examples imder the rales of syntax are the first exercises in parsing. 
 The Liber Primus is the first book after the gi-ammar. No more of this is 
 taken for a lesson than can be parsed thoroughly. This and the grammar 
 form the studies of the first year. To these succeed Grascite Historife Epito- 
 me, ViriRomse, Ph^edri Fabulje, from Burman's text, with English notes; 
 Cornelius Nepos ; Ovid's Metamorphoses, by Willymotte ; with particular 
 attention to scamiing and the rules of prosody. Portions of Ovid are com- 
 mitted to memory in the evening that were ti-anslated in the day, and verses 
 selected from them for capping, which is a favorite exercise with boys. 
 Valpy's Chi-onology of Ancient and English History, Dana's Latin Tutor, for 
 
62 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 writing Latin, and Tooke's Pantheon, with the books already mentioned, 
 comprise the studies of tlie second year, The (ireek Grammar is now com- 
 menced, if it has not been before, Coesar's Commentaries and Electa ex 
 Ovidio et Tibullo. Then follows the Delectus Sententiarum Gra^carum, a 
 most excellent little book for the commencement of Greek analysis. 
 
 And here paiticular care is taken that no word be passed over till all the 
 changes of which it is susceptible be gone through, and tlie nile given for 
 each. Much depends on the manner in which boys are introduced to a new 
 study. They like what they can imderstand. Hence it not unfreciuently 
 happens, that lads properly initiated into Greek, soon prefer it to Latin and 
 every other study. The Col. Gr. Minora follows ne.xt, witJi Sallust and 
 Virgil ; and these, with the writing of translations in English, from Latin 
 and Greek, form the studies of the third year. The exercises in the Latin 
 Tutor continue till tlie book is entirelj' written tlirough once or twice. Much 
 time and labor are saved in correcting these exercises. The head boy gives 
 his exercise to the teacher, and takes that of the next below him, who, in his 
 turn, receives his next neiglibor"s, and so on, through the class. The boy 
 at the bottom reads the English, a sentence at a time ; and tlie teacher reads 
 the same in Latin, from the exercise in his hand, marking with a pencil such 
 words as are wrong. Where the sentence admits of variety, each form is 
 given. The boys in the mean time mark all words difleriug from what is 
 read, by placing the figures 1, 2, 3, etc., under them. When the exercise 
 has all been read, and each boy has marked the errors of his next neighbor, 
 the one who has fewest takes the head, and so on. This exercise is returned 
 to be coiTected, and has a second reading with tlie next new exercise. Thus 
 in fifteen minutes the task of an hour and a half is performed. The atten- 
 tion in the mean while is efi"ectually secured by the interest each boy has in 
 noticing the mistakes of his neighbor, and the liability of having all marked 
 to his otvn account, which shall appear on second reading not to have been 
 noticed in the first. But tliis method, of course, can be adopted only so long 
 as the Latin words are given in the exercise book. 
 
 When the Latin Tutor can be converted into coiTect Latin, Valpy's Ele- 
 gantiaj Latinte succeeds it. This book is a very valuable auxiliary in teach- 
 mg to write Latin, and an important addition to our school books. It consists 
 of a free translation of select portions of the most approved Latin autliors, 
 with many judicious and critical remarks on the rules of construction, and 
 the use of words, witli a key, separate from tlie book, t<.) be kept by tlie 
 instructor, where the original passages may be seen by the learner, and 
 compared with his own Latin. When boys can -.vrite Latin prose grammati- 
 cally, they are required to make nonsense verses, or to put words into verses 
 with regard to their <juantity only, ^^^lt'n the mechanical structure of diftVr- 
 ent kinds of versification is familiar, thi'y have given tlicui a literal transla- 
 tion, of a few verses at a time, taken from somoautlior with wlioso style they 
 are not acquainted, which is to be turned into verses of the same kind as 
 those from which it was taken ; and then compared witli tlie original. 
 Bradley's Prosody is used for this exercise. Afterwards portions of iMiglish 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. 63 
 
 poetry are given, to be translated into Latin verse. Original verses are 
 then required, which with themes in Latin and English, continue through 
 the course. Considerable portions of all the Latin and Greek jjoets used 
 in school are committed to memory as they are read ; particularly sev- 
 eral books of Virgil, all the first book of Horace, and parts of many 
 others ; the thi7-d and tenth Satires of Juvenal entire ; all the poetry in 
 the GrjBca Minora; and many himdreds of verses in Homer. This is an 
 important exercise to boys ; and without it they can never write Latin 
 pi-ose or verse with the same facility as with it. It is in this way 
 that the idioms of any language are gained, and in ■v\Titing verses the 
 quantity and proper use of most words employed by the best -N^i-iters 
 ai'e instantaneously determined by recalling a verse in which they occur. 
 Cicero's select orations, De Ofiiciis, De Senectute, De Amicitia, Horace 
 Exp., Juvenal and Persius Expur. Greek Pi-imitives, Xenophon's Ana- 
 basis, Maittaire's Homer, Greek Testament, "Wyttenbach's Greek Histo- 
 lians, together Avith the aforenamed exercises, and Geography, Arithmetic, 
 Geometiy, Ti'igonometry, and its uses. Algebra, etc., form the studies of 
 the last two 3'ears. 
 
 The study of arithmetic is commenced the latter part of the third year, or 
 the beginning of the fourth, with Colburn's " First Lessons." Eecitations in 
 this are made two or three times each half day by those who are studying it. 
 The boys are not expected to commit to memory the answers to the several 
 questions, but to find them repeatedly before the recitation that their answers 
 may then be given -with more facility ; and, in order that the operations, by 
 which they solve the questions, may be sti-ictly intellectual, numbers are 
 often announced by the insti-uctor difterent from those in the book, and only 
 the form of the questions is adhered to. After the question is announced, 
 a sufficient time is allowed for each individual of the class to find the answer, 
 and then one is called upon; the question is passed through the class, 
 whether the answer be given right, or not, and all whose solutions are right, 
 go above those, whose are Mi'ong. After all the questions in a section have 
 been undei'stood, and solved, each boy is called upon to state the general 
 method of their solution, or the nile for working them. This rule, thus 
 made by the boys, not given them, when corrected as to phraseology by the 
 teacher, is written in a manuscript book, and committed to memory. The 
 same system of advancing fi-om particular examples to the general rule is 
 observed in teaching Lacroix's Arithmetic and Euler''s Algebra; Synthesis 
 being considered preferable to Analysis, in these studies. The class, with 
 their slates, come to the recitation forms, a question is proposed, which 
 each is required to solve ; others, more and more difficult of solution, de- 
 pending on the same principles are announced ; each boy on finding his 
 answer glasses his slate to the one above him ; and thus no one can correct 
 his solution on the authority of a better scholar. All whose sums are right, 
 take precedence of the others. After the solution of numerous questions pro- 
 posed in as many difi"ei-ent forms as possible, they are furnished with the 
 rule, and required to commit it to memory. The blackboard is also used.

 to show the method of arranging their work with the greatest economy 
 of space and labor. 
 
 In Geometry the diagrams of Euclid are taken oflF, first on paper, with 
 figures instead of letters, that nothing may be committed to memory without 
 beino" understood. When they have been demonsti'ated from thci)aper, they 
 are afterwards drawn by the jjupil on the blackboard, with figures ; when 
 the proposition is demonstrated without a book, or any aid to the memory 
 whatever. Worcester's Geography is tlie te.xt book in that branL-h ; and here 
 constant and particular use is made of the maps. The boys are retjuircd to 
 find upon them tlie rise and course of every river, the situation of each to^vn, 
 etc., in tlieir lesson ; and beside getting the text of the book, to answer any 
 question which may ai'isc upon tlie map of the countrj- v.-ho^e geogi-aphy 
 they are studying. 
 
 Beside the books already mentioned, use is made of the following, viz. : 
 Neilson's Greek Exercises for writing Greek, Schrevelius's Greek Lexicon, 
 Iledericus, Scapula, MorelPs Thesaurus, Walker's Chissical Key, Lem- 
 priere's Classical Dictionary, Adam's Roman Antiiiuities, Entick's and Ains- 
 worth's Latin Dictiouaiy, etc. 
 
 On Saturdays the whole School comes together in the hall for declama- 
 tion. The four upper classes speak in turn, a class on each Saturday. 
 The youngest class attends this exercise, but does not t;ike pait in it. 
 After a boy has spoken, and the presiding instructor has made such ob- 
 sei-vations as he sees fit, any individual of the class that is speaking has 
 a rio-ht to coiTect any errors in pronunciation, or any violation of the text, 
 that may not have been pointed out; and if none of the class does this 
 before another boy is called out it ma}' be done by any boy in tiie school. 
 This leads to much attention to the subject of pronunciation; and great 
 acuteness is often discovered by very young boys. This is the only day 
 in the week in which all the instructors and scholars unite in any religious 
 or literary exercise. 
 
 On these occasions, boys are promoted from a lower to a higlier division, 
 or a higher class, who have distinguislieil themselves, by maintaining their 
 place for a given time at the head of the division in which they niilo. In 
 tliis way, a scholar sometimes gains one or two j-ears in the five of the 
 regular course. Cards of distinction, to such as deserve tliem, arc also given 
 out once a month, in presence of tlie whole School. 
 
 We have allowed Mr. Gould to tell at tliis length, of the studies 
 and methods of the School, because tiie iinjiression made by him 
 upon its character and discipline was so strong that, except for varia- 
 tion in the text books, tliis description would answer for almost any 
 time in the forty years subsequent to his mastership, and the pupils 
 of tliose yi-ars will there fiinl, rei-alled to themselves, tlie manner 
 of their own recitations and the discipline of the Scliool, with which 
 they were familiar. 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. 65 
 
 The curriculum continued to be enlarged under Mr. Dillaway and 
 Mr. Dixwell. 
 
 In 1860 we find the following regulations and course of study, 
 which differ but little from the requirements of the decade pre- 
 ceding: — 
 
 Each candidate for admission shall have attained to the age of ten years, 
 and shall produce, from the master of the school he last attended,, a certiti- 
 cate of good moral character. He shall be able to read English correctly 
 and fluently ; to spell all words of common occurrence ; to write a iTinning 
 hand ; understand mental arithmetic, and the simple rules of written arith- 
 metic ; shall be able to answer the most important questions in geogi-aphy ; 
 and shall have a sufficient knowledge of English Grammar to parse common 
 sentences in prose. A knowledge of Latin Grammar sliall be considered 
 equivalent to that of English. 
 
 Boys shall be examined for admission into this School only once a year, 
 viz : on the Friday and Saturday of the last week of the vacation succeeding 
 the Exhibition of the School in July. 
 
 The regular course of instruction sliall continue six years ; and no scholar 
 shall enjoy the i^rivileges of this School beyond that term, unless by leave 
 of the Sub-committee. But scholars may have the option of completing 
 their course in five j^ears or less, if willing to make due exertion ; and shall 
 be advanced accoixling to scholarship.

 The following are the holydays and vacations granted by tlie School Com- 
 mittee to tlie Latin School : viz., every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon 
 throughout the year ; Christmas Day, New Year's Day, the Twent}--second 
 of February, ]May Day and Fast Day ; Artillery Election ; the Fourth of July ; 
 Thanksgiving Week ; the week immediately preceding the first iMonday in 
 March ; one week, commencing on the IMonday preceding the last Wednes- 
 day in May ; the two days of public exhiljition at Harvard University ; and 
 the remainder of the school-year following the Exhibition in July. 
 
 The changes of the next decade were described very fully by the 
 present Head Master of the Scliool, Mr. Merrill, at the dinner of tlie 
 Latin School Association in 1877, and we insert that portion of his 
 remarks which had special reference to them : — 
 
 * * * There are persons in the community, and it may bo tliat there are 
 some here, who believe tliatthe School is not a useless incumbrance upon the 
 tax-payers, and yet are perplexed by some of the statements, derogatory to 
 its usefulness, put into circulation from public and private sources. There- 
 fore I feel compelled to present to you as briefly as possible a history of tlio 
 School since 1870, and make known its present condition and aims. There is 
 a quiet but disagreeable rumor abroad tliat it has lost its proud name of 
 superiority among tlio preparatory schools of the country, ami has been out- 
 .strippcd by its yoinigcr and more fortunate rivals. In the first place I shall 
 attempt to jtrovo that for six years it was not a " preparatory si-hool," and, 
 in the second place, if tiio rumor bo founded in fact, there is no occa- 
 sion for any alarm, distrust, or discouragement now. It nnist nml will regain 
 
its vantage-ground, if left to pursue its way without further interruption. 
 No institution of learning can pass througla the abrupt changes in its cur- 
 riculum, methods and teachers, which the Latin School has passed througli 
 since 1870, witliout suffering a diminution of jjower and thoroughness in 
 scholarship. 
 
 What these changes have been I will brietij' state, and I invite your espec- 
 ial attention to the following order offered to the School Boai'd and adopted 
 September 8, 1868 :— 
 
 Ordered, That a committee of nine be appointed to consider the subject of 
 establishing an institution of learning in wliich tlie English and classical studies ' 
 may be pursued; that said committee shall have public hearings to which 
 eminent educators shall be invited; that said committee, if they deem it expedient, 
 shall prepare a fidl and liberal com'se of study, to be submitted to this board 
 which shall include Latin and Greek, one or more modern languages, English 
 literature, mathematics, music, and other sciences ; that if the need for such an 
 institution is shown, said committee shall consider the expediency of merging in 
 it the Latin School and the English High School, and of establishing in the new 
 school a special coiurse of study for those who desire to fit for a university edu- 
 cation; that in reference to such special training for the university, said committee 
 shall make inquiry as to the methods of teaching the ancient languages in use 
 upon the continent of Europe, as well as in the best English and American 
 schools. 
 
 It will be obseiwed that the object of this order was to destroy the identity 
 of the Latin School. It was at first proposed to establish a free academj^ 
 or Boston College, for advanced instruction in the language and sciences. 
 When this project was abandoned it was proposed to unite the Latin and 
 English High Schools. Long and patient hearings were given by the com- 
 mittee to several of the most prominent teachers of New England, of whom 
 two were instructors in the Latin School — Dr. Gardner and J\Ir. Gay, The 
 committee solved the difficulty by recommending that the two Schools be 
 combined in one under the name of " Latin and High School." This reijort, 
 which is quite long and condemns the method of teaching Latin and Greelv in 
 vogue in the Latin School, was made May 11, 1869. No action was taken 
 upon it, and it was recommitted June 8. The whole subject of High School 
 education was referred to a special committee of seven, February 8, 1870, no 
 action having been taken on the reports of the previous committee of nine. 
 The new committee, as well as the old, was composed of some of the most 
 intelligent and cultivated gentlemen of the board, and who, without ques- 
 tion, had at heart the best interests of education in this city. Such being the 
 case, it has always been inexplicable to all practical teachers witli whom I 
 have conversed on the subject, under what infatuation the following cur- 
 riculum was adopted for the School in the summer of 1870. I accounted for 
 it at the time in the supposition that there was a detemiination to introduce 
 into the jmblic school system of Boston a German gymnasium, pure and 
 simple, whether the concomitants of such an institution could be introduced 
 or not.

 It will be admitted that the School was no longer a preparatory school. 
 
 The age for admission was raised from ten to tw^elve years. Twelve boys 
 only were admitted to the I'egular coui'se of study in 1870 — the first year of 
 this experiment. All these left school or were graduated before 1876 — the 
 time for fully completing the course. Consequently there was no graduat- 
 ing class for that year. Had there been no modifications in the requirements 
 for admission and in the curriculum in 1871, there would have been no class, 
 or a very small one, to graduate in 1877. At this time also — i. e., in 1870 — 
 the departmental method of instruction was introduced. All the teachers 
 were raised to the grade of Masters, and the quota of pu^^ils for each in- 
 structor was reduced to twenty-five. The exjjenses of the School increased 
 enormously. The discipline immediately declined — attributable more to the 
 position taken by the Head Master, after these changes, than to any other 
 cause. I speak no ill of the dead. If Dr. Gardner were with us to-night he 
 would confirm my statement and defend his course. He declared that he 
 would not, and, true to his declarations, he did not, aid the subordinate 
 teachei's in their attempts to conti'ol their classes. To use his own woixls, 
 " Each man must paddle his own canoe." In some instances disoi'der and 
 insubordination reigned. That Dr. Gardner was not in sj'^mpathy with the 
 
PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 change in sentiment in regard to these methods and objects of education is 
 too well known to require affirmation. He believed that the day of sound 
 leai-ning was rapidly passing away. Evidences of his declining health be- 
 came apparent, and he was in a chronic state of desijondency and discour- 
 agement which continued until feebleness prevented any further participa- 
 tion in the active duties of life. The inevitable result of this state of things 
 was a decline in that strict discipline and thorough scholarship which had 
 been characteristic of the School from time immemorial. 
 
 Another result, very serious for the time being, but not so penuanent in its 
 effects, was a distrust in the commmiity in regard to the efficiency of the 
 School, and a dislike for it (I think hatred too strong a word), arising from 
 causes already stated, as well as from the unpopularity of the Head Master 
 in certain quarters, and the exorbitant expenses, amounting to nearly $250 a 
 year for each pupil. The present tuition is $117. 
 
 Mr. Gay took charge of tlie School in November, 1875, as Acting Head 
 Master, during Dr. Gardner's illness; succeeding him in June, 1870. The 
 new board of education was organized at the time, I tliink the very day, 
 of Dr. Gardners deatli. One of the first acts of Mr. Gay and the board, 
 relating to the Latin School, was the preparation and adoption of a coui*se 
 of study to suj)ersede that of 1870, which had never been repealed, but 
 modified, of course, from year to year ; and such a course as would restore 
 the School to its time-honored aims and purposes, the preparation of boys 
 for college, especially for IIai*vard. "WTiile many gentlemen took a deep 
 interest in this work, we are indebted to President Eliot more than to any 
 other person for our present excellent curriculum. A year''s experience 
 shows that, with very slight and unimportant modifications, it is entirely 
 practicable. It uiceLs with general commendation, and many parents have 
 expressed the desire to place their sons in a School which aftbrded a course 
 of study so admirable in all respects. This course was adopted by tlie 
 School in September, 1876, one montli previous to my appointment as acting 
 Head Master. ^Mr. Gay was greatly interested in its adoption, and felt tliat 
 the School was entering ujion a new and more efliciont career. But his 
 state of health was such that he could spend with us but two or three hours 
 each day, and at the end of the first month his visits ceased altogether. He 
 died November 2. Thus witliin the period of a single year two Head Masters 
 terminated their labors in the School and passed from this life to anotlier. 
 Though we reverently and submissively bow to these dispensations of God's 
 providence, yet such a loss and the consequent cluuiges must necessarily 
 prove detrimental to tlie highest welfare of the School. Both have gone 
 to their rest after a life of entire consecration to their profession, and tliere 
 are many ready to rise and bless their memory. Rcquicscanl in pace. 
 
 It has been shown that the School had no definite aim from tlio year 1870 
 to the time of Dr. Gardner's decease, or pei'haps better, the unattainable aim 
 of " gciueral culture." The highest of aims you will .say, perhaps. 1 grant 
 it. But the pupils, or their parents, desired to avail themselves of tlio advan- 
 tages of the Latin School for on\y one stage in (his i)ursuit of "general 
 
HISTOEICAL SKETCH. 71 
 
 culture," namely the preparation of their sons for college. They preferred 
 the University for the more advanced stages. 
 
 Our " general culture" plan included a preparatory, and a good part of a 
 university, course in certain branches. A school without a definite aim can- 
 not be successful, any more than a man without an aim. Our School, under 
 the " general culture" plan, was undertaking too much, and more than the 
 public desired. But, thanks to the Committee on High Schools, aided by 
 the late Head IMaster, Mr. Gay, and the Board of Supervisors, to the Presi- 
 dent of Harvard University, and to all others interested in the welfare of our 
 school, that day has past. The School has now a definite aim, and "general 
 culture " is no less a part of it than before. * * * * 
 
 I firmly believe that, notwithstanding all the mistakes and disappoint- 
 ments of the last six or seven yeai's, which the teachers were powerless to 
 avoid or prevent, the Latin School is as dear to-day to the citizens of Boston 
 as any other institution of learning within its limits, and that they are as ready 
 to extend and perpetuate its usefulness by money, sympathy and cheering 
 words as our fathers were when it was a select school, principally, as it has 
 been intimated, for the rich and exclusive. The changes in the School have 
 not been so great as the changes in our population. And I am willing to 
 admit that our jDupils do not all bear the names, nor are the lineal descend- 
 ants, of our glorious old forefathers who came over here in the IMayflower ; 
 some even bear names of those who have come over in vessels of a later date. 
 But I am confident in the ojDinion that j'ou cannot find in any j^ublic or 
 private school in this countiy four hundred and thirty lads more cultivated 
 or more intelligent than those in the Boston Latin School of to-day. * * * 
 They are ti'eated as gentlemen, and they are gentlemanly in return ; they 
 are taught to resiject themselves by the confidence placed in them ; their 
 statements are received as time unless there are the strongest reasons for 
 doubting them. ***** j^ ^g ^.j^g g^jj^^ ^f ^j^g teachers to inculcate 
 principles of morality, honor and pati'iotism, pure living and high aspira- 
 tions, as well as to give the best possible intellectual training. Secta- 
 rianism is carefully avoided, but we do not hesitate to present the divine 
 precepts and example of our Lord as well as the virtues of Socrates and 
 the patriotism of Eegulus and Hannibal. No parent need fear contamina- 
 tion in the Latin School beyond what might happen wherever boys are 
 assembled together. 
 
 The School contains 430 boys, divided into eight classes. It has one Head 
 Master, three Masters, six Sub-Masters and three Ushers. It has special 
 instructors in German, French, drawing, music and military drill. It is not 
 a select, but it is a, public school, supported by the tax-payers of Boston, and 
 is open to all boys who wish to prepare for college. 
 
 The depailmental system is still adhered to in the four upper classes, and 
 I believe with advantage. * * * * Each teacher cheerfully takes the 
 responsibility of the progress and final results of his own depaitment. The 
 four lower classes, consisting of seven divisions, are placed in charge of 
 teachers who take them along in all branches, except music and drawing. 
 
PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 All the insti'uctors have been selected with great care by the committee, 
 and, most of them have already met with tlie highest success as teuchera 
 ill our New England colleges and best preparatory schools ; the younger men 
 are doing well. The methods of instruction have been changed in some 
 branches, especially in Latin, geography and French. The wliolc School 
 seems to ha well classified, based upon the records of last year's work, and 
 a rigid examination in all studies given to each pupil at tlic close of tlie 
 year. 
 
 Mr. Capen, the Senior ^Master, who spent an entire vacation in Germany a 
 few yeai's since, in examining the methods of instruction in the best schools 
 for secondary education, asserts, without fear of contradiction, tliat tlie 
 methods in our School are as nearly like those of the best German gym- 
 nasiums as they possibly can be without transplanting the entire German 
 system to America. When he presented for their inspection the course of 
 study of which I have already given 3'ou some extracts, they looked at him 
 with surprise, and asked him if we accomplished all tliat. * • ♦ * 
 
 I will close with a brief statement of wliat tlie School has done for those 
 who left us tlie past summer. If tlie verdict mu.st still be onl}- ten jjcr cent.- 
 of what is accomplished in some foreign schools, it certainly is a very fair 
 percentage toward the requisitions of the best American colleges. Thirty- 
 four young gentlemen from this School applied for admission to higher 
 institutions of learning, and not one was rejected — twcnty-tliree to Harvard, 
 four to Amherst, one to Yale, one to Dartmoutli, one to "Williams, one to 
 Weslcyan, one to Boston University, one to AVest Point and one to llic Agri- 
 cultural College in Amherst ; two more have entered immediately ui)on the 
 study of medicine and law, and still another could have received his certifi- 
 cate of admission to college, but preferred to wait another year — making in 
 all thirty -aeven. Two of these students were fitted in one year in the classics. 
 One pupil of the third class, after three or four months of private instruction, 
 was admitted to one of our Xew England colleges. A very fair per cent, of 
 these api)licants wei*e admitted without " conditions," tliough not so large as 
 will be, we trust, in future years. 
 
 The following year, speaking of tlie requirements for admission to 
 college, and tlie work done in the School to prepare tlie ])upils to 
 meet them, lie said further : — 
 
 Many of you may not be aware of the important changes which have 
 recently taken place in the requisitions for admission to our higher institu- 
 tions of learning and the course of study pursued after admission, and tlio 
 eflects of these changes upon Ihe jireparatory schools. • • • • 
 
 Twenty-five years ago, and for several sueeeeding years, the re(|uisition9 
 for admission to college embraced four subjects in I^atiii, four in Greek, 
 three in mathematics, ancient and modern geograpliy, and elements of 
 ancient history, in all thirteen subjects. Freiieli, English composilinn, 
 physical geography and physics (or one optional branch of three in natural 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. 73 
 
 science), have since "been added, so an-anged with the others as to make six- 
 teen subjects. In French, the candidate is required to translate at sight a -pa.?,- 
 sage of easy prose ; in Englisli composition, he is required to write a " piece 
 of English, correct in spelling, i^unctuation, gi*ammar, division by para- 
 graplis, and expression " ; the subject for the composition is taken from cer- 
 tain specified works of standard English authors. There has also been a 
 marked increase in the ■ amount of Latin, ancient history, algebra and 
 geometry required. * * * * 
 
 From these facts there can be but one inference about the test for admis- 
 sion applied to the sons of to-day compared with the test applied to their 
 fathers when they knocked at the college doors. The sons may not be 
 required to know twice as much as the fathers knew to gain admission — it 
 is certain they do not — but the test, if rigidly applied, is doubly severe. 
 
 The last Harvard catalogue contained a new method in the requisitions. 
 * * * * It prescribes a minimum requisition in four groujis of subjects, 
 viz. : Latin, Greek, mathematics, physical and natural science ; a maximiun 
 in at least two of these groups. Fully one-half of the examination in Latin 
 and Greek prose is the translation at sight of passages like the authors 
 studied. The amount required to Idc read in the preparatoiy school is con- 
 siderably less in Latin and somewhat less in Greek. But the candidate 
 cannot, in my opinion, be suital)ly prejiared for the examination without 
 translating nearly or quite as much in both languages as before, and the test, 
 as applied by the new method, demands a more careful and elaborate 
 analysis of the text, though less of the minutiee of the grammar. * * * * 
 
 These changes are not arbitrary ; they are the inevitable result of the senti- 
 ment that has arisen, or been developed, in the last quarter of a century in 
 regard to the methods, scope and objects of a finished education. Unless we 
 are ready to show that this sentiment is erroneous, it would be absurd to 
 assert that these changes are a mistake. Whatever difficulties we have to 
 meet and overcome, we are certainly takmg progressive steps in the cause of 
 education. In fact, the very difficulties indicate progression, and not declen- 
 sion. If the standard is higher the attainments will be greater. But it is an 
 undeniable fact so far as the Latin School is concerned, that what is under- 
 taken to day is not so thoroughly done as when less was required, because 
 very little more time, if any, is given to accomiilish it. The increase of time 
 has not been proportionate with the increase of requirements. I would not 
 lessen the requirements, but allow the additional time necessary to do well 
 the Avoi'k imposed : and this brings me to the consideration of the most im- 
 portant pai't of my subject, to which I would call your especial attention. 
 
 "Wliat advantages do the boys of to-day enjoy, that their fathers did not. to 
 meet the severer test of higher education ? Do they have better teachers ? 
 If such were the fact it would not be becoming in us to assert it ; we will not 
 claim it. Do they have better means of acquiring information? If the 
 student's acquisitions depended upon this, something might be granted in 
 favor of the present day ; but I have not yet become a convert to the belief in 
 any " royal road to learning." Do they have more time ? I think not. In 
 
the Latin School Saturday has become a holiday ; the summer vacation is 
 extendt'd from six weeks to ten or eleven weeks : gymnastics, or military drill, 
 music an<l drawing, which do not enter into the examination for admission 
 to college, occupy four hours a week ; four hours are given to English liter- 
 ature and physical science, and additional hours to mathematics and French, 
 which were formerly given to Latin and Greek. Much that is superfluous or 
 fruitless in the earlier requirements has been omitted, it is true, but the essen- 
 tials still remain. 
 
 Another fact is j)ertinent here. It used to be a common remark that the 
 Latin School graduates had little to do during the Freshman ^ear. This was 
 imdoubtedly true. * * * * jjut that day is past. Tlie Freshman is 
 required now to enter a new and almost imtried field of labor, and to do work 
 as difficult as in any year of his whole course. If Avell informed on one or 
 more subjects, that fact is ascertained by tlif examination for admission, and 
 he is 2iliic*id in an advanced division. Therefore, it will be seen that students 
 no longer do a part of tlie college work in the preparatory school. The 
 preparation, however perfect, becomes the basis of more advanced and 
 (liflicult work in the college. This is as it should be. Furtliennore, the 
 college offers to the new candidate examinations for advanced standing in 
 Latin, Greek, mathematics and modern languages, and, if successful in any 
 one or all of them, he will be placed in advance of his less proficient 
 competitor. I do not think this difference in the gi-ade of scholarship at 
 Harvard and elsewhere is fully understood or appreciated, even by gradu- 
 ates, as late as ten years ago. 
 
 Notwitlistiinding this increase in the requisitions for admission, the growth 
 in the college curriculum, the pnming of the school year with us, :md the in- 
 troduction of exercises in the weekly round of school duties not absolutely 
 necessaiy for the examination, yet with many parents the desire i-emains that 
 entrance to the college be gamed in the shortest possible time, too often 
 regardless of tlie state of preparation. 
 
 No additional legislation is required t > meet the difliculties of tlie case, 
 because the regulations of the School B<mrd provide for a course of eight 
 years, to begin at nine years of age. We find, however, liy exi)erience, that 
 candidates of that age cannot pass our i^xamination and carry along the work 
 of the first year with success, except in rare instances. Ten seems to be a 
 more suitable age for admission, and eighteen for graduation, and to this 
 there is little objection. But the great majority of our graduates do not enter 
 the sc1io(j1 at ten, but couk! later — from twelve to eighteen — and, whatever 
 their aljility, or previous accpiisitions, desire to get ready for college in one, 
 two, or three years. Pupils oftentimes leave or are withdrawn from the 
 school when they are told, alter trial, that they cannot be prepared for col- 
 lego in the time tliat they have assigned for this part of their education. • • 
 
 It appears to me that there can be but onc^ deduction from these facts. A 
 more thorough and complete preparation than ever before is absolutely 
 nc^ces.sary, bolli fur a successful admission to college and for tlie successful 
 prosecution of the studies after such admission. To accomplish this more

 time must be given to it than in the past, and sufficient time to meet the 
 increasing demands of higher education. 
 
 A few words in conclusion about the present condition of the School. As 
 you will see by the catalogue, the number of the pupils is 428, or about the 
 number of last year. Since Sejitember 1 about forty lads have been refused 
 who Avished to become pui3ils. Dr. Gardner rarely refused an applicant. 
 Such a policy this year would have carried the number to nearly 500 pupils. 
 Would tills indicate success? I think not. Numbers alone are not requisite 
 for the highest degree of prosperity. And yet no boy has been refused who 
 seemed to give any promise of continuing long at the School or possibly com- 
 pleting the course and entering college. I have been compelled to postpone 
 the admission of a few applicants till there should be vacancies in the classes 
 which they are qualified to join. Every room in the two buildings granted to 
 our use is occupied, and some rooms are over-crowded. But we are toiling 
 patiently on to the time when there will be room enough and to spare. It is 
 expected that the new School-house, situated on the square bounded b}'^ War- 
 ren Avenue and Dartmouth, Montgomery and Clarendon Streets, will be 
 ready for occupancy in September, 1880. Till then we must be subjected to 
 many inconveniences. Tempus veniat. There are twelve Masters and junior 
 masters engaged in the regular insti'uction of the School, faitliful and earnest 
 men, who were among the best scholars in their respective classes in the pre- 
 paratory and collegiate courses of study, and many of whom had gamed an 
 enviable name as instructors in colleges and high schools before coming to 
 Boston. Owing to their firm, discreet and courteous management the School 
 is in a good state of disciiiline. Its moral tone is excellent, of which I have 
 had several proofs this term. The j^upils appear to be imjiressed with the 
 idea that the School is a place for work and manly behavior. So far as schol- 
 arship is concerned, our instruction has not been satisfactory. Will it ever 
 be ? Can it ever be ? Growth in knowledge, like growth in piety, seems to 
 remove one farther from the goal of perfection the more one struggles to 
 reach it. Still, we shall persevere in striving to give the puj^ils as thorough 
 a preparation and as broad a culture as is in our power, and not be dis- 
 couraged by defeats and disappointments. 
 
 A marked change in the methods of instruction was made when a 
 separate department was assigned to each teacher, instead of his 
 instructing, as had hitherto been the case, one class in all its 
 branches of study. In the Appendix* we insert a tabular view of the 
 exercises, arranged for the year 1876, just after this change had 
 taken place, and about the time of the changes referred to in Mr. 
 Merrill's speech of the next year. 
 
 After the decease of Dr. Gardner and Mr. Gay, considerable discus- 
 sion arose in respect to their successor. The School had once more 
 failed to possess the entire confidence of its alumni and the com-

 munity. This was the result of various circumstances and had been 
 for some time growing. A correspondent of one of the daily papers 
 thus writes of it : 
 
 Ten years ago several members of tliu St-hool Committee came to the 
 conclusion that the Public Latin School had fulfilled its mission, and advanced 
 several proposals with regard to its future. First, that its existence should 
 be tenninated at once ; second, that it should be merged in the English 
 High School ; third, that it should be made a branch of, and subordinate to the 
 High School. This attempt to destroy tlie School signally failed, and in 
 truth was more in the nature of a personal attack ujjou the then Head Master 
 tlian an honest desire for refonn. Fortunately for the School and the city no 
 one of these proposals was adopted ; but, unfortimately, for the last six 
 years of its histor}-, a plan was adopted that has jjroved itself impracticable, 
 and even im^wssible, of execution. 
 
 The cun'iculum of the School has ever been one of severe and rigid dis- 
 cipline in the ancient classics, based upon the established oi)inion of learned 
 men that there was but one course of study suitable to lay the foundation of 
 a thorough and liberal culture. When we recognize the eminence of past 
 gi-aduates of this School and of the other classical schools of the country, >Vho 
 wore educated on this plan, even the most ardent advocates of new methods 
 must hesitate to call it false and absiu'd ; j^ct it undoubtedly is true tliat the 
 devotees of classical education recognize that the requirements of the times 
 necessitate a modification of the old methods of instiiiction in the classics, and 
 see the necessity of inti'oducing into the curriculum the rudiments of modern 
 languages and vailous other branches of study. 
 
 The course of instruction at the School for the last six years Inis endeav- 
 ored to revolutionize I'athcr than reform the School. Its aim was in the 
 direction of a union of the High and Latin Schools, to jiroduce a sort of brevet 
 university of the mongrel kind, in which any or all species of learning 
 might be had in lots to suit. * * * * The last six years have proved the 
 impracticability of this plan, tlie best evidence of which is that it has failed to 
 fit pupils satisfactorily for the requirements of our colleges, that it has not 
 beiMi ai)proved by tlie teachers, or foiuid accejituble to pareiUs or scholars. 
 This year an entirely new cun-ieulum has been adopted, based on tlie old 
 classical system, eradicating from it the paiTOt gi'ammatical part, which w:vs 
 the bane of the old system, and teaching the ancient languages rather in the 
 method and spirit of a modern tongue. This system also reduces the time 
 formerly given to the higher mathematics, and adds a modicum of French, 
 liistory, the sciences and Engli.>5h literature. 
 
 It will be seen that 1S7() begins a new era in the history of Boston's most 
 venerable and moat celebrated literary institution. It has been most wisely 
 decided to continue it as a distinctly cla.ssical jjreparatory school, witli a new 
 and improved curriculum, in which a careful training in Latin, Greek, nnd 
 mathematics, and in the rudiments of the French andriernian hinguaees is to 
 form the l)ase, with <renei;i! instruction in the elements of the natural .sciences. 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. 77 
 
 history and English literature, grammar and rhetoric, together with instruc- 
 tion in drawing and music. This course is to be pursued not with reference 
 to educating the pupil for business — that is the proper and peculiar work of 
 the English High School, a task wliich it has most acceptably accomplished 
 in the past, and wliich requires a curriculum which shall anticipate a part of 
 the woi-k provided for by the college. But tlie work of the Latin School is to 
 prepare the student to enter college with the kind of instruction which shall 
 best enable him to pursue a college course. Li a word, its work is to feed 
 the professions, and so long as Boston needs clergymen, doctors and lawyers, 
 it is right and proper that she should see to it that a free school is provided, 
 so that her humblest citizen may secure to his children a classical, college 
 education, and that poverty may be no insurmountable obstacle to talent. 
 
 Not only does this new curriculum, founded on the advice of President 
 Eliot of Harvard, and other leading educators, go into operation this year, 
 but a new system of government is to be tried. A system of coiTections and 
 penalties for misbehavior has been introduced. By it constant communication 
 is kept up between the parents of the offender and the Head Master of tlie 
 School, and the parent distinctly understands what the boy's offence is, and 
 what penalty is inflicted, and what will be the next step in the boy's punish- 
 ment. Thus the parents can never be taken unawares, and are compelled to 
 co-operate with the government of the School in disciplining their children. 
 This plan is an improvement on the old, severe, and often unwise and 
 cruel methods of government, and must tend to elevate and improve the 
 morale of the institution. 
 
 At the present time the course of instruction and the text-books 
 employed, as given in the Annual Catalogue for 1883, are : —

 The earliest Latin School house was just behind the present loca- 
 tion of Kinti's Chapel, and the name of " School Street," a con- 
 traction of the older "South Latin Grammar School Street," is a 
 continual reminder that here, for the first two centuries of the town 
 and city of Boston, stood its first and chief School.* 
 
 The first School house was undoubtedly as simple and i)lain a 
 building as the first Meeting house, the Master probably living in 
 a portion of it, and keeping the School in the remainder, as we find 
 
 • School St. is culk-d, at iis late n period us 1009 in a dccil of Uoheit Ui^rht's, " the sti-oct

 that was the case when Mr. Woodmansey was Master in 1650-67.* 
 A conjectural drawing of the building has been made, which represents 
 a two-story building, with an old-fashioned roof, rude and plain, but 
 it is uncertain whether this represents the original or the second 
 building. 
 
 Probably the School ceased to be held in the Schoolmaster's house 
 during Mr. Cheever's mastership (1671-1708), for in Mr. Hassam's 
 monograph on Cheever we have an account of the erection oi a new 
 house for Mr. Cheever's occupancy, in which no provision for the 
 School appears, and a little later we find the following on the Town 
 Records : 
 
 " At a Town Meeting held in the Town House in Boston, March 13, 1703-4:, 
 it was. Voted that a New School-house be build instead of the Old School 
 House in wch mr Ezekiell Chever Teacheth and it is Left wth the Selectmen 
 to get tlie same accomplished." 
 
 June 27th, 1704, the Selectmen voted to proceed to the erection of 
 the new School-house authorized by this vote, advising with Mr. 
 Cheever and Mr. Williams in regard to it. 
 
 On the 24th of July of the same year they made a contract with 
 Mr. John Barnard for the erection of a School-house, " forty foot long, 
 twenty-five foot wide, and eleven foot stud."t 
 
 A portion of this School-house must have stood very near the 
 present location of the statue of Franklin. A plan of Boston, dated 
 1733, gives a representation of this School, with a double roof, a 
 chimney, windows, and doors, very much resembling the picture 
 already given -of the earlier edifice.! The same j^icture gives a 
 view of the old King's Chapel building, and of Mr. Lovell's house. 
 
 From the Records of King's Chapel we learn : — 
 
 March 14th, 1747-8. A petition § of the Minister, Wardens and 
 Vestry of King's Chapel was presented to the Town Meeting stating, 
 that owing to the ruinous condition of that church, it was desired to 
 
 * See note p. 23. 
 
 t The full text of this vote, as weU as of those preceding, and of those passed in regard 
 to the erection of the house for Mr. Cheever's dwelling will be found in Appendix D. 
 
 X This representation would seem to be incorrect, because the new School-bouse, con- 
 structed in 1748, on the opposite side of the street, by the King's Chapel congregation, 
 which was by the terms of the contract to be built like the old, was of but one stoi-y, or at 
 most one and a half, as will be seen b}' the representation of it which we give beyond. 
 
 § The full text of this petition, and of the action of the Town in Town Meeting upon it, 
 is given in the second volume of the Annals of King's Chapel by the Rev. Henry W.

 reconstruct it in the same place, and to make it somewhat larger and 
 more commodious, and asking for that purpose a piece of ground at 
 the oa.st en<l of tlie Churcli, which was town property. The petition 
 further prays the aj)pointment of a committee to consider the petition, 
 view the premises and re])ort to tlie Town. 
 
 Dr. Greenwood, in liis History of King's Chapel, gives the further 
 history of the proceedings : — 
 
 Tlie town chose a committee to confer with the committee of tlie church, 
 and the result of the conference was a pi'oposal that the church should have 
 the lot occuijietl Ijy the school-house at the east cntl of the old building;, with 
 the resen^ation of a passage way of ten feet wide into the burying-gi-ound, 
 on condition that the school-house should be rebuilt by the church on a con- 
 venient spot in the vicinity. Thereupon the petitioners bargaiiietl for a piece 
 of ground at a short distance from the school-house, and also for another 
 more expensive lot opposite the school-house, on the south side of School 
 Street, as the fomier could not be purchased without the latter. But the 
 Committee of the town, finding tlie latter piece a more desirable situation 
 than the other, rose iu their demands, and insisted that a sehool-liouse should 
 be erected for them there. This came near to break off the negotiations, and 
 comjiel the church to rebuild according to the old dimensions. But Governor 
 Shirley and others came forward, and said nobly and sensibly, "that svs the 
 Building was designed for Posterity as well as themselves, it would liere- 
 after be deemed very injudicious if an advantage of enlarging it into a con- 
 venient and regular building should no^^- be lost for the sake of an increased 
 charge." 
 
 In view of these things, we learn from the Records, that it seemed 
 best that the Proprietors of King's Chapel sliould follow the advice of 
 the committee, and substitute another petition containing tlie pro- 
 po.sals agreed upon after this mutual consultation, and meanwhile 
 should take a formal vote in regard to taking down and rebuilding 
 tliat edifice ; " for tho' People's Minds were generally known as to 
 this matter, yet nothing publick or authoritative had been done 
 about it." A meeting was accordingly lield after evening service 
 on Sunday, March '27th, when a vote to that effect was passed 
 unanimously.

 April 11th, A. D. 1748. The Petition of the IVIinister Wardens 
 ye'^^l<lug's and vestry of Ivings Chaj^ple in Boston in behalf of themselves 
 Minister &c '^^^^ *^'^*^ Congregation that usually attend the Publick worship 
 of God there, setting forth — 
 
 That said Chapel which has constantl}' been Improved for the Publick 
 worship of God for about Sixty Years past is in many Parts of it Rotten and 
 greatly decayed and almost rendered uncapable for that Service any longer, 
 and said Congi-egation out of Regard to the Honour of God and for their own 
 Edification being very desirous that the Publick worship of God should be still 
 Supported and Camed on in said Place, have determmed to Rebuild said 
 Church and make it somewhat larger more Comodious and Regular tlian it 
 now is, but apprehend they shall be greatly Straitened for want of Ground 
 at the East End of said Church to Effect the same. — Your Petitioners there- 
 fore pray the Town would be pleased to Grant to said Church 34 foot East- 
 ward for the Cody of said chapel and 10 foot for a Chancel in order to 
 enlarge the same into a Regular and Commodious Building and whereas the 
 Town has a School house upon Part of the Land which your Petrs. Request, 
 It is therefore humbly proposed in consideration of the Grant hereby Request, 
 That the Petrs. do Purchase and make over to the Town a Piece of Ground 
 at the upper End of the Lane or Passage fi-onting the present School house 
 of like dimensions Avith the present, the said Petitioners not to dig or open 
 any Ground which the Additional Building shall cover, excepting to lay the 
 Foundation, nor at any time to exclude those who have vaults or Tombs 
 within the requested Limits to have free access to them. 
 
 Your Petrs. ajjprehend that the said Grant will be no deti'iment to the 
 Town as the present School house is much decayed, in many parts defective, 
 and will in a Short Space of time require to be Xew Built, and as the place 
 now pi'oposed for the School, neither has nor can possibly have any Conti- 
 guous Building being Eighty-eight foot long, and Seventy seven foot wide, 
 has a free air, a pleasant assent and Capable of a Southerly Highway to it 
 ivom Bromlield Lane which if it be thought necessar}- the Petitioners have 
 a reasonable Prospect of Obtaining, is very near to School Sti*eet, and yet 
 agreeably Retired, The Town will have a larger Piece of Ground to Accom- 
 modate the School, The Chapel aforesaid and other Neighbouring houses 
 Will be less in danger from Fire and such accidents, The To'^atii Receive a 
 New Ornament in the Buildings i)roposed, and all to be effected at the Charge 
 of the Petitrs. and others such well disposed persons as shall tliink proper to 
 Contribute to the same, for a clearer View of what j'our Petrs. hereby

 Boston 18th April 1748. 
 
 Which Report being Read and a long Debate had thereon It was Moved 
 and Seconded that the following Question be put viz — whether the Town 
 have Power in this Meeting to Appropriate or Dispose of the Land on 
 which the South Latin School stands to any other use than for a School, the 
 
86 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 Vote of the Town of the 14th Imo 1635 as Entred in the Towns Records not- 
 withstanding, and the same being accordingly put, — It was Voted in Affirm- 
 ative. 
 
 And then on a Motion made and Seconded the following Question was put 
 viz — Whetlier the Town have power to accept of tlie said Report of the Com- 
 mittee, the province Laws of the fourth of William and Mar\', Entitled an 
 Act for Regulating of Townships, choice of Town Officers, and Setting forth 
 their Power, and the Twelfth of Queen Anne, Entitled an act directing how 
 Meetings of proprietors of Lands lying in common may be called, which 
 have been now read, notwithstiinding, and It was Voted in the Affirmative. — 
 and then it wixs projiosed and Seconded, that the following Question may be 
 put Viz — Whether the said Draft of a Vote as prepared by the Committee 
 be Accepted. — Whereupon, it was moved that the Vote of Acceptance of said 
 Draft may be Determined by a written Vote. — It passed in the Affirmative ; 
 — and thereuijon the Inliabitiints were dh*ected to bring in their Votes in 
 writing, and such of 'em as were for accepting of said Draft of a Vote as 
 proposed by the Committee and jiassing the same as tlie Vote of the Town in 
 answer to said Petition were desired to write Yea, and such as were not for 
 iiccepting it to write Nay. And the Liliabitants proceeded to bring in their 
 Votes, and the Votes being brought in and Sorted it appeared that there was 
 Four hundred and tAVO Voters and there was 
 Two hundred and five Yeas & 
 One hundred & Ninety Seven Nays 
 
 Whereupon, it was declared by the Moderator, that the said Form of a 
 Vote was Accepted and Passed by the Town accordingly. 
 
 The account of this meeting, in the Records of King's Chapel, 
 mentions an interesting attempt on the part of a prominent citizen, 
 by means of cumulative voting, to secure the expression of public 
 opinion in accordance with the wislies of the proprietors of the 
 Church, which having been detected, was promptly rebuked, and fitly 
 punished, for the full account of which we would refer the curious to 
 the second volume of the Annals of King's Chapel, by the Rev. 
 Henry W. Foote. 
 
 In the afternoon of the same day on which this meeting was held, 
 Joseph Green, Esq., who lived a few rods behind the School-house, 
 sent into the Latin School to Mr. Lovell, who heartily opposed the 
 project of removing the School, the following epigram : — 
 
 " A fi<^ for your Icarninff ! I tell you the Town, 
 To make tlie c/jwrc/t larjjcr, must pull the school down. 
 Unluckily spoken, replicil Muster Rirch, — 
 Then learning, I fear, stops the growth of the church." 
 
 Dr. Greenwood adds : — " The end of the whole business was that 
 the Church erected a School-house on the required lot, opposite the 
 old one." 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. 87 
 
 " During the building of this School-house," continues the record, 
 " they met with much vexation and Delay from the various Humours 
 of the Selectmen and others, but especially from the continued Imper- 
 tinence of Mr. Lovel, the Schoolmaster, indeed every man seemed 
 to imagine he had a Right to dictate and prescribe his own Fancy 
 in the Building, but the Committee endeavored to encourage their 
 Avorkmen to proceed thro' all opposition and to hearken to no altera- 
 tions but what the projectors would become bound to pay for." 
 
 At much expense (the cost was £2,700 old tenor*), and after many 
 vexatious delays, the new School-house was at last completed, on 
 the opposite side of School Street, on the corner of what was 
 then Cook's Court, now Chapman place (where a corner of the 
 Parker House was subsequently erected), on the spot where it was to 
 stand, for the larger part of a century, in part at, least, since a portion 
 of the wall then built was incorporated in the structure which about 
 sixty years later superseded it. 
 
 As this School-house remained standing until 1810 or later, it might 
 be supposed that its general appearance could be easily ascertained, 
 but a most diligent search and inquiry has brought no representation 
 to light, and the descriptions given by the few persons still living, 
 who either went to school in it, or lived in the vicinity, so that 
 they would be likely to be familiar with it, vary so much that no 
 conclusion can be reached from them on the subject. We know, 
 however, from the agreement made by the Selectmen with the pro- 
 prietors of King's Chapel, that it was of brick, thirty-four feet front 
 toward School Street, thirty-six feet deep on the passage and twelve 
 feet stud. 
 
 In 1847, when the first edition of the Catalogue was prepared, 
 an inquiry concerning this building elicited some descriptions from 
 former pupils, Avhich we give. As showing the uncertainty of human 
 memory these testimonies are valuable. Those by whom they were 
 given describe the building as of wood and as of brick ; as red and 
 black, and as white, in color ; as one story, and as two stories in height ; 
 as having a yard and fence before it, as having no yard and no 
 fence. Remembering that it was a reproduction of the old building 
 on the opposite side of the street, we conclude that those who assign 
 one story as its height are more correct than those who describe it 
 
 * This sum was not far from twelve hundred dollars at the present value of money. In 
 1745, the depreciation of the bills of credit had reduced the value of eleven or twelve 
 pounds in paper, to one pound sterling, and when the redemption of this issue began 
 in the fall of 1749, forty-five shillings paper were exchanged for a silver dollar. 
 
as havin<2: two ; who have, perhaps, confused their recollections of 
 this- buildinii with tliose of the three-story edifice afterwards erected 
 on the same site. 
 
 Rev. Dr. E. E. Hale writes : " This house was built of brick. It must have 
 been as wide as the late School-house and was nearly square. The architect 
 of the cupola, Ur. Jenks tells me, and probably the whole building, was the 
 same man who designed the cupola of Faneuil Hall ; and the cupola was 
 considered graceful in its proportions. The School-room was entered directly 
 from the sti'eet. In the rear was a sort of projection, in which was a stair- 
 case which led to the attic, and in this attic the boys used sometimes to stud}'. 
 Dr. Jenks tells me iie has often sat with Dr. Wai'ren* at work at the window 
 over the door on School Street. 
 
 * * * " We boys speculating on the fact that there was a cross on our 
 School bell (in 1835) guessed that it once belonged to the old French Church 
 in School Street. Can any one tell if it were the same bell that was in the 
 old School-house, and whence did it come?" 
 
 Mr. Thomas Farrington, of our Class of 1788, says (in 1855) : — 
 
 The School-house was higher in proportion to its width than the rough 
 sketch with which Dr. Hale accompanied his inquiry, which formed the start- 
 ing-point for our picture. The School-room was so high from the ground 
 that a flight of six (?) steps was necessary to reach it. The door-way was 
 very plain. The Mastei''s desk was at the soutli end on the right side of the 
 back door, which opened into a porch m which were the staircase and a door 
 leading to the yard, which was small, with a board fence. The Usher's desk 
 was in the northeasterly corner; between it and the door was a small, or 
 short seat and desk, in which a few of the tirst class sat at times, as, I think, 
 for want of room with the others ; between this desk and the door came do\\ni 
 a bell-rope. Then going round against the sun were the seats of the third 
 and fourth classes, on the west side wei'e the first and second, and on the east 
 side were fifth, sixth and seventh classes; the lowest class was without desks 
 and not elevated from the floor. The seats and desks were as plain and 
 compact as possible ; boys in those days were not so important members of, 
 did not I'equire, nor receive so much room and accommodation from, society 
 as at the jjresent day ; which is evident to everyone who can comiiare from 
 his own knowledge, that School-house with the present one. 
 
 ' The cupola wa.« at the extreme front of the building. There wore no trees 
 on the School-house lot. The chimney was a rare one, if not singular. It 
 was of brick, about a foot scjuare, built in an iron frame that came down 
 the ceiling in about the middle of the room, which was a high one, from ten 
 to twelve (feet) high, I think nearly, or quite, tlie latter, with a sheet-iron 
 sliding bottom, and the funnel of a large wood stove admitted on one side.

FIRST SCHOOL HOUSE ON SOUTH SIDE OF SCHOOL STREET. 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. 89 
 
 Our next witness is Mr. Ebenezer Thayer of our Class of 1806, 
 who died in Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1883, while these pages were still 
 passing through the press. His memory of the old School-house was 
 perfectly clear, and we have been greatly indebted to him for assist- 
 ance which has made it possible at this distance of time to pre- 
 sent a picture so reasonably accurate. Mr. Thayer lived on Cook's 
 Court, in tlie rear of the School-house. When attending School 
 he probably entered through the yard, and came in at the back 
 door, through the iDorch described by Mr. Farrington. He says : — 
 
 I recollect in going down to the School-house in the morning we entered 
 by the gate, and the door of the i^orch was right before us, on entering which 
 we turned to the right and entered the School-room door ; on the left was 
 Master Biglow's desk, on the right were two short forms occupied by the 
 senior boys ; tlien two long forms brouglit you to the Usher's desk — the back 
 forms were two feet higher than the front, the windows so high that the 
 boys could not " shin up " to see the soldiers passing. 
 
 The front of the building on School Street was about fifty feet high to the 
 bell cupola, with a porthole near the ridge, Avhich may be presumed to have 
 been a dial for a clock. The width of the building front was probably thirty- 
 eight to forty feet. (We know it was thirty-four.) The School-house lot 
 was probably eighty feet deep, and the building sixty feet deep. (This is 
 nearly double the correct depth.) The front of the School-house was about 
 fifteen feet from the curb-stone ; a flight of five or six steps rose to the front 
 door. Thei-e were two windows, one on each side of the door, with sills 
 fifteen feet from the ground (this is manifestly too high) , the windows eight 
 or ten feet high, and from top of the windows to the eaves about fifteen 
 feet. (Again the figures are too great.) The roof was peaked. The build- 
 ing M'as all of brick. 
 
 Mr. Thayer furnishes a rough ground plan of the School-house 
 and yard, which substantially accords with the description given by 
 Mr. Farrington. 
 
 Dr. Watson, of our Class of 1805, who has also recently deceased, 
 says : — 
 
 It was a brick building with a stone foundation, of the height of four or 
 five feet, or more, from the ground. The front had two large windows, one 
 on each side of a large front door in the lower story ; and two smaller win- 
 dows over the lower, in what may have been the second story, and I 
 think the front door had a fan window over it. At the enti'ance there 
 was a large stone, perhaps four feet square, for the landing-place, with 
 three or four steps below it. On top of the roof there was a belfry, and 
 a bell, the rope coming down into the School-room, immediately behind the 
 front door. There certainly was another room, over the main School-room, 
 which was sometimes used for recitations to the Usher, and rehearsals of 
 
90 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 "pieces," etc. I will only add that the front of the building did not abut 
 directly on the street, but ten or twelve feet from it. There was a small 
 yard in the rear, and a tliglit of stairs (in a small addition to the back part 
 of it) led to the second story. There was a gate to the back yafrd* which 
 opened into an alley, where there were three small houses, and at the upper 
 part of it a stable, kept by one Zeph Spurr, whose son was at the School, I 
 think, for a time. 
 
 Mr. Jona. Darby Robins, of our Class of 1766, said, about 1847 : — 
 
 The School-house was of one story, with an attic above, a cupola, with the 
 bell in front, as in the late School-house. There was but one school-room, in 
 which tlie whole School assembled, though some of the boys, particularly 
 those of the seventh form, were permitted sometimes to go upstairs into the 
 attic room. This was reached by a sUiircase in the rear on the outside. The 
 boys of the younger forms sat on benches, with a box underneath in which 
 to put their books; but after the fourth form, when they began to make 
 Latin, they had desks in front of them on which to write. There was a 
 single entrance in front, and you then ascended two or three steps. 
 
 Hon. Edward G. Loring, of our Class of 1811-12, writes that his 
 recollection of the School-house, when under Mr. Gould, is of a two- 
 story building on the south side of School Street, with windows on 
 a side alley. His class was in the second story. He cannot remem- 
 ber how the lower story was occupied, nor any architectural details 
 of the building. He adds : — 
 
 There is a lurking impression in my mind that under Master Biglow the 
 Latin School was a smaller building than under blaster Gould, and tliat on 
 the opposite side of the sti'eet, where the City Hall now stands, tliere was a 
 square wooden building, where the schools for reading, writing, and aritli- 
 metic, were kept under Masters Snelling and Ilaskins, but these impressions 
 are very vague and unreliable to myself. 
 
 From these varying descriptions we have had our drawing pre- 
 pared, which, while not exactly agreeing with any of them, combines 
 the characteristic features included in each.f When finished it was 
 
 ♦This back-yard, or play -ground, was a space about 20x40 feet, not a tree nor shrub 
 therein ; nor anything but a high-peaked fence, and a clumsy, rickety gate, with a six 
 pound shot tied to it to keep it closed. — J. L. W. 
 
 t In addition to these old pupils of the School the Committee addressed a number of 
 aged citizens of Boston, and several of the oldest surviving graduates of Harvard College, 
 who having been at Cambridge while this house was still standing, might fairly be sup- 
 fMjsed to have passed it occasionally on their visits to Boston, even though School St. in 
 these days was not so much of a resort for the Harvard stmlent as it hius become since 
 ArteinuH Ward described the College as pleasantly located there; and the result of these 
 applications is given below : 
 
 Mr. Joseph Head (Ilarv. 1807), in 1881 the oldest living graduate of the College, writes 
 in that year, that the building was a one-story building of brick, partly black and partly

 submitted to most of these gentlemen for approval, and was generally 
 acceptable. The Hon. Henry K. Oliver of our Class of 1810-11, on 
 
 red, with gable end to the street, surmounted by a small ch-cular cupola in which hung a 
 small bell which was said to have belonged to the original King's Chapel. It was 
 approached by six or seven steps, door of ordinary- size in middle of fi-ont, with a single 
 window on each side of door, and he thinks there was a cornice to both gable and eaves, 
 but is not certain. It was replaced by a three-story building about the time of the incorpo- 
 ration of the city, about the year 1822. [Here, of course, he is in error as to time.] The 
 mansion house of Moses Gill stood directly west of the old building. 
 
 A few days later, after seeing our rough sketch, he writes that it agrees very well with 
 his recollection of the old house, but " I think the windows were smaller in proportion, 
 and that there were at least five or six steps to the front door. The basement was higher 
 in front and the ground sloped upward considerably to the rear." 
 
 Dr. Wm. Pen-y, of the Class of 1811, Harv. Coll., one of the four survivors of the class 
 in 1881, writes in that year, that although he passed it daily during the closing mouths of 
 1812-1813 and part of 1814 his recollections of it are not very definite. " I can onlj- say 
 that the building was two stories high, by no means an imposing structure, wooden, I 
 believe, and painted white. Its roof gradually descended from the front to the rear. It 
 stood in a yard that appeared sufficiently large for the uses of the students, and was separa- 
 ted from the street by an iron fence." 
 
 Mr. Moses Williams, an aged citizen of Boston, writes, April 19, 1881 : " I remember the 
 building. It was a two-story wooden building, stood end to the street, and I have the 
 impression that it stood a few feet back from the street, and that there was a flight of steps 
 on the outside to the second story. The roof was not steep. The dimensions did not exceed 
 forty by eighty feet. The roof had only a slight pitch. I have an impression that the land 
 on which the School-house stood belonged to a Mr. Holloway (.S!C)* previous to the Revolu- 
 tion. He was a tory and went to England. His estate was forfeited for his life, but was, 
 after his death, inherited by his nephew. Ward Nicholas Boylston. The old School-house 
 was a cheap building, probably built at a small cost, on account of the uncertain title. "t 
 
 In a later letter, after having seen the sketch, he writes : " The Latin School-house 
 which I have in my eye as on the Boylston Holway tory estate, was a two-story wooden 
 building with a low pitch to the roof, too low to look well, and too narrow in its front on 
 School Street to strike the eye pleasantly. The pitch of the roof was also too low for 
 beauty and at one time there was an outside flight of stairs to the second story, giving it a 
 very awkward appearance. I think this is an accurate description of the building which 
 was on this confiscated estate in 1800, or in 1801 or 1802." 
 
 Mr. Wm. Thomas (Hai"v. 1807), \vi-ites in 1881 : " It stood, as I remember, opposite or 
 nearly opposite the School Street side of the Stone Chapel, and was about 30 or 40 feet back 
 from the line of buildings on the opposite side of the street to the Chapel. I do not remem- 
 ber ever going from the sidewalk up to the building, but do remember noticing that not 
 any doors of entrance were to be seen from the sidewalk,^ so that I concluded the end of 
 
 * An error for Hallowell. 
 
 t Perhaps the agreement to have it correspond with the house on the opposite side of the 
 street, from which the School had been removed, may be a better reason for its inexpen- 
 siveness. 
 
 t Dr. Watson writes that he can only account for this impression of Mr. Thomas's by 
 " the supposition that he had in his mind tlie appearance of the public writing-school, 
 Master Snelling's, which in those days was immediately opposite, occupying very nearly 
 the position of the City Hall of to-day; it was a long wooden building with the entrance on 
 the eastern side, and showing nothing but the ugly dimensions of its sides to a spectator 
 on the sidewalk on School Street." 
 
92 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 seeing it, said : " If the Latin School building was of but one story, 
 that is it, but I thought it had two;" an opinion easily accounted 
 for when we read Dr. "Watson's description of the u]»i)er or attic 
 room. Mr, John Rogers, of our Class of 1808, who was also a pupil 
 attending in this School-house, pronounces it substantially the School 
 which he attended. 
 
 Dr. Watson further describes the building: — 
 
 From the west side was a brick wall about four feet high (and, perhaps, a 
 kind of latli rail above it) running down to the side-walk, and separating the 
 School grounds from the next premises ; there was no passageway between 
 the western wall of the School and the eastern wall of the next house.* There 
 were no windows in the western wall of the School-house. In front of tlie 
 School there was a wooden fence of some kind and a gate opening between 
 the tw'o sides, from a ver}' naiTow side-walk of brick, alwaj^s out of order. 
 
 On the 3d of May, 1749, Mr. Lovell was notified to remove his 
 boys into the new building. Here the School remained until 1785, 
 when it became necessary to make some repairs ujion the building, 
 and Master Hunt, for a time, taught in Faneuil Hall. About 1812 
 
 the building was presented to the street, and the dooi-s of entrance were on the sides of the 
 house, which could not he readily seen from the street." 
 
 A few days later Mr. Thoman writes, after having seen a rough sketch of the building, 
 " I remember the windows on the end to be as numerous as the space could with any pro- 
 priety justify. The panes of glass were small and of much older type than then prevailed 
 in the town, aud the framework and sashes of the window much heavier." 
 
 Mr. Thomas T. Spear writes in April, 1881 : " The facade of the building was of granite 
 and the rest was of brick," ami sends a rough sketch of a two-storj' building. He has 
 evidently confounded the school of Lovell with that of Gould. 
 
 * This next house was that of the Hon. Moses Gill, Lieut. -Governor of the Common- 
 wealth. Mr. Thayer says it was a three-story house, but Dr. Watson says that as he 
 recollects it, " it was a two-stori* house with an attic, a long covered piazza, which in winter 
 time was entirely closed in. I think also that it was used as a hotel or stage house at one 
 time." 
 
 This building was known earlier as the Boylston House. It was situated about fifty feet 
 west of Cook's court, had a front of forty feet and a door in the centre. It stood about 
 ten or twelve feet from the street, on which was a fence on a foundation of stone two feet 
 above the sidewalk, surmounted by an open rail. It was three stories high, witli dormer 
 windows on the roof. On the westerly, or upper side of the house, was a passage way 
 twenty to twenty-five feet wide, leading to the stable and gardens. This garden extended 
 to Madame Dc Blois's house on Bromfield street. 
 
 In the rear of the School in Cook's court was a double dwelling house, 40 x 40, of two 
 stories with dormer windows on all sides, and fifty feet of gardens on eacli side. The doors 
 of the houses were on the north and south sides respectively, and were reached by a small 
 yard leading from Cook's court. 
 
 The lot of laud on which the School-house was built belonged to, Mr. Thayer thinks, 
 and was probably given by Mr. Ezckicl Cook, who lived on tlie side of Cook's court, oppo- 
 site the School, and was the owner of mucli laud in the neighborhood.

 there seems to have been a fire in the building, and probably then, or 
 a little later, the old building, with the exception of the western 
 wall, was removed, and the new building, of three stories, with a 
 granite front, which is represented in our next engraving, was substi- 
 tuted for it. 
 
 While this building was erecting, the School was kept for a time 
 in an old barn in Cole Lane, now Portland Street (occasionally re- 
 ferred to as the Mill Pond), afterwards in Scollay's Building on 
 Pemberton Hill; until, about 1812, the work was completed, and 
 it returned to the old site and the new stone School-house.* 
 
 Of this building Mr. Dillaway sayst : — " The interior had none of 
 the luxurious furnishing of the present day. Its desks and seats were 
 long, thick planks, much too hard for our jack-knives. And yet, 
 plain as everything was, I don't think you could find a school in 
 our city showing more earnest, successful study, or more real school- 
 boy happiness, than we had in that building when Benjamin A. 
 Gould was Head Master." 
 
 Originally the upper story alone was occupied by the Latin School, 
 and the middle story was assigned to what was then known as a 
 "reading-school," but the interest in the School, which for some 
 years previously had been on the wane, gradually increased. In 
 August, 1814, thirty boys were admitted ; in the August following, 
 fifty, and, in 1816, sixty were admitted. As none were in the mean- 
 time deemed fit to enter College, the number had so increased as to 
 render an additional room and assistant necessary. The reading- 
 school was, therefore, removed, and its room appropriated to the use 
 of the Latin School. As the number of scholars continued to increase 
 yearly, more assistant instructors and additional rooms were provided 
 as occasion required. 
 
 * See an article by Geo. S. Hillard, in the Boston Book for 1850, giving reminiscences 
 of this building. 
 
 t In his speech at the dinner of the Latin School Association in 1880. In a speech on the 
 like occasion in 1877 he had thus spoken of the surroundings of the School-house : — 
 
 " The old School-house had none of the conveniences of modern times, and yet I think 
 there was as much hearty work done there and as much enjoyment by the Scholars as in 
 any of the palatial edifices of the present day. The surroundings of the School have 
 changed immensely within fifty years. Allow me to mention some of them. In the 
 square opposite the City Hall there were on the right and left brick buildings for lawyers' 
 offices ; then came the Court-bouse, which was a handsome building, certainly as far 
 superior to the present Court-house as the Parthenon was superior to our School-house. 
 
 Half a dozen rods behind the Court-house there was a jail Between the jail 
 
 and the Court-house there was a large space which we boys made use of for foot ball and 
 base ball." 
 
94 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 It was found expedient likewise to appoint a sub-Master, with a 
 his/her salary and more permanent tenure of position than the assist- 
 ants had. In 1822 the whole School-house was appropriated to this 
 School and in the Catalogue appeared the names of two hundred and 
 twenty-five scholars. About 1844 this buildini; (of whicli the key 
 presented to the Latin School Association by Mr. Dixwell, and now 
 in the library of the new School-house, is the only visible token 
 remaining) was taken down and Horticultural Hall erected on its 
 site, which again, about 18G5, gave place to an extension of the 
 Parker House. Meanwhile a new building intended for the joint use 
 of this School and the English High School, had been erected in 
 Bedford Street, and to it the School was transferred on the 8th of 
 July, 1844. 
 
 The boys assembled at 9 o'clock in the morning and simple ser- 
 vices of dedication took the place of the usual school exercises.* 
 His Honor Martin Brimmer, the Mayor of the City, presided, and 
 prayer was offered by the Rev. Nehemiah Adams of the Essex 
 Street Church, after which his Honor congratulated the friends 
 present on the occupancy of the building and remarked that great 
 pains had been taken by the Common Council to provide suitable 
 accommodations for the School. The buildings lately occupied 
 had been deemed unworthy of further use. In the location of 
 the present School-house, retirement, quiet, and central position, had 
 been secured. The construction of this new edifice might well be 
 deemed an evidence of the increasing public interest in the welfare 
 of our common schools. 
 
 The recent introduction into these Schools of the study of drawing, 
 an acquaintance with which is frequently useful to business men, 
 was mentioned as another indication of this interest. Mr. Brimmer 
 said he hoped also that the Common Council would ere long su])ply 
 means for the study of astronomy, for which an observatory had 
 been raised on the present edifice; as he believed this study was 
 eminently calculated to l)ring into exercise deep religious feelings, 
 leadinf' the young mind to contemplate the works of Deity. Other 
 branches of education, would, doubtless, be provided for in the 
 future as their need was made manifest. 
 
 In no other jdace of the same wealth has so iimoh l)een done for 
 the cause of common scliools as in Boston. Of ll),OOU chil.lren, 15,000 
 were educated at the public expense. No pains were sjiared to

 rendei* this system of instruction successful. The lot of the youth of 
 our city was most hapjjy : of the many distinguished men who honor 
 our country, few enjoyed in early life the advantages with which 
 our children were furnished. All that was asked in return from 
 the pupils was attention to their studies, industry, application and 
 the maintenance of virtue — which would surely redound to their own 
 credit and the honor of their country. In conclusion, the Mayor 
 said he placed in the charge of the instructors and pupils this edifice. 
 It was a temple dedicated to learning and virtue, to be watched over 
 with care. 
 
 Hon. Wm. J. Hubbard, Chairman of the Sub-Committee of the 
 High School, and Geo. S. Hillard, Esq., of the Sub-Committee of the 
 Latin School, then successively addressed the boys and their friends, 
 each speaking principally of the value of the Institution with which 
 he was officially connected. 
 
 Mr. Hillard's address reminded the young men in beautiful and 
 powerful language, of the real and intrinsic value of the studies they 
 were pursuing ; while he spoke with feeling of the pleasures and in- 
 terests of his own school-boy recollections, and of the associations 
 which the pujiils would always have with these scenes of their earlier 
 education. 
 
 Messrs. Dixwell and Sherwin, the Principals, replied to the gentle- 
 men of the City Government in behalf of their Schools, giving as- 
 surances that they and their associates, stimulated by the means now 
 jDrovided for them through the munificence of the city, would labor 
 with increased energy. Mr. Dixwell suggested to the alumni of 
 the Latin School, the great value it would be to that institution, 
 and the community, to have a classical library connected with it, 
 together with other similar means and apparatus of classical study 
 which might be j^rovided by its graduates and friends. As a result 
 of these suggestions a meeting of the alumni of the Latin School 
 was held on the same day, at which the Boston Latin School Associ- 
 ation was formed. 
 
 The building in Bedford Street was three stories in height, of brick, 
 with a granite facade. On each of the two lower stories were two 
 rooms, for either School, on the sides of the building — those for the 
 Latin toward Howe (now Chaiincy) Street ; in the upper story, 
 two large halls extended across the building, that for the Latin 
 School occupying the front on Bedford Street. A small room at the 
 side of the hall contained the library of the Association, and beneath 
 it was a similar room on the second floor. Subsequently the number 
 
9(3 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 of boys became so great that a room in the basement was fur- 
 nished (this room was assigned to Master Merrill, when, in 1858, 
 he entered the School as an Usher, so that he has literally worked 
 up from the lowest place to his present position), and, in 1861, a 
 fourth story was added to the building, in which the halls of the 
 two schools were accommodated, while the old halls were changed 
 into class-rooms corresponding with those on tlie floors beneath. 
 
 No one wlio Avas ever in the old Latin School hall will forget its 
 appearance. At one end was the platform used for declamations, 
 behind which in later times stood the marble statue representing the 
 School, to which reference will be made later. On the Bedford 
 Street side was the Master's platform, opposite to it bemg a plaster 
 cast representing the shield of Achilles; above this, after the war of 
 the Rebellion, hung the standard, of the old Roman pattern, pre- 
 sented by the School to the com])any * called the Latin School Com- 
 pany, and carried by it throughout its service, crossed by a " John 
 Brown pike." 
 
 The walls Avere hung with photographs of buildings in ancient 
 Athens and Rome, including a large picture of the Roman Forum, 
 and the portraits of some of the Head Masters, Gould and Lovell 
 and Dillaway, and, afterwards, Gardner; and on brackets or tables 
 were cork models of the Colosseum and of ancient temples, plaster 
 casts of ancient busts and statues, or curious antiquities illustrating 
 the studies pursued in the School. 
 
 The engraving which we give, taken by the kind permission of the 
 Messrs. Harper Brothers, from Harper's Magazine^ in which it 
 originally appeared, will recall pleasant memories to those familiar 
 with this school-room, and give to others a fair idea of its general 
 aspect. 
 
 Within a quarter of a century this building became too small for 
 the needs of the School, and rooms had to l>e procured outside for 
 the boys who flocked to it from year to year ; necessary repairs were 
 delayed or neglected until it became positively unsafe for occupancy, 
 and at last, in 1880, a new building was erected on Warren Avenue 
 to which, in 1881, the School was removed. 
 
 On the morning of the 13th of September, 1881, there appeared 
 in the Boston Daily Advertiser an article of which we give a part 
 as follows : —

HALL OF THE BEDFORD STREET SCHOOL HOUSE. 
 
 FROM HARPER'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE, BY PERMISSION. 
 
At four o'clock this afternoon the old School-house on Bedford Sti-eet will 
 be opened for a farewell glimijse from the teachers and scholars who cherish 
 such abiding memories of the hours passed within its walls. To-mon'ow it 
 will be sold for removal, and its demolition will follow immediately, to make 
 way for the extension of Harrison Avenue. 
 
 Before 1844 the Latin School's latest abode was on the site of the wing 
 of the Parker House, near Chapman Place, and the English High School 
 was on Pinckney Sti-eet at the corner of Anderson, ■\\'here the Phillips 
 School now is. Records of school history of those days read in spirit very 
 much like those of recent j-ears in regard to the Bedford Street School- 
 house. They were too small for the constantly increasing number of 
 pupils ; they were inconvenient ; they were not well adapted to their uses ; 
 the land on Avhich they stood (particularly the Latin School) was valu- 
 able for business purposes. So the change was made. May 1, 1843, a 
 report to the City Government was made by a committee appointed to 
 examine into the need of a new School-house and " the feasibility of erect- 
 ing one." It Avas signed by M. Brimmer, Chairman, and as a consequence 
 of its recommendations an order was passed by the city government for the 
 purchase of lands for the erection of a School-house near the western boundaiy 
 of Ward 10, as the wards then lay. The total expense was not to exceed 
 $21,000, and the existing Latin School-house was ordered to be sold to help 
 defray the expense. This appears to have been allowed in addition to the 
 original appropriation. The latter was afterward increased by $4000, so the 
 fund for the new Bedford Sti-eet building stood like this: Appropriation, 
 $25,000 ; proceeds from the sale of the Latin School-house, $8,000 ; interest, 
 $3,000; total, $37,000. The account of expenditure was: Cost of land 
 (12,980 feet), $26,486 ; cost of building, $10,642,90; total, $37,128.90— thus 
 oveiTunning the allowance a trifle. In a few years the house was crowded 
 too much for convenience, and in 1861 a new story was added. Since then 
 it has stood till the continued pressure upon its accommodations and the 
 gradual removal of population further south, led to the purchase of the site 
 of the present magnificent structure on Warren Avenue and ilontgomery 
 Street, the bargain being concluded in binding shape on the very day of the 
 great fire, a few hours before the flames broke out. 
 
 In the way of reminiscence about the old building and the Schools and 
 
 teachers mthin it, the field is almost limitless Details as 
 
 to the management of the School, as to the committees Avho have planned 
 its success, and as to its growth and adaptation to the widening educa- 
 tional ideas of the time, would be a long record, better left to the 
 recollection of the scholars of by-gone days. Doubtless many -will improve 
 their opportunity for a farewell visit this afternoon. 
 
 The present building, on Warren Avenue, which has been described 
 as " the largest structure in America devoted to educational purposes, 
 and the largest in the world used as a free public school," is in a 
 modern Renaissance style, of brick, with the lines of strength treated 
 
98 PUBLIC LATIIf SCHOOL. 
 
 architecturally in stone, and intended to be fire-proof. It was begun 
 in 1877, and finished in November, 1880. The Dartmouth Street 
 front, wliich is intended to be occupied by the School Board, is 
 not to be completed at present. Without it, the building is 339 
 feet long and 220 feet wide. 
 
 The structure is three stories high, with a basement, and is 
 designed after the German plan of the hollow square with corridors 
 following: its outlines. The walls of the corridors are of brick, mak- 
 ing fire-proof sections. The width of the whole building is simply 
 the width of a room and its corridor, thus insuring the Ijest light 
 and ventilation. The staircases are of iron, and to each building 
 there is a tower with a winding staircase, providing an extra means 
 of egress. Each School is furnished with a large exhiljition hall, 
 arranged as an amphitheatre 62 by 82 feet and 25 feet high, as well 
 as an ample room for drawing, suitably lighted from above. The 
 whole interior is finished in })ine. 
 
 Since the war of the Rebellion, instruction in military drill has 
 been given in this as in other high schools in the city. Opinions 
 will differ about the wisdom of thus introducing the study of arras 
 among the elements of a liberal education ; but great attention has 
 been paid to it, with, it is claimed, very satisfactory results, and there 
 is no disposition at present to discontinue it. In the new building 
 the rooms best adapted to their purpose, and finished with the 
 most care and attention to detail, are the large drill-hall and gym- 
 nasium for the common use of both Schools, by which, as well as 
 the corridor, they are connected. The drill-hall is a grand feature. 
 It is 130 feet long by 50 wide, and 30 feet high, and is on the street- 
 level, with entrances from Warren Avenue and Montgomery Street 
 and the court-yards. The floor is of thick })lank, calked liked a ship's 
 deck, and laid upon solid concrete. The hall is large enough to 
 accomuiodate the whole school battalion when at drill. With its 
 galleries it could seat 3,000 persons. Like the gymnasium above, 
 of the same size, it is finished in natural materials, and treated so as 
 to get a structural effect of oj)en timber-work, the wood being hard 
 pine, finished in sliellac and varnished ; the walls of Philadelphia 
 bricks, laitl in bright red mortar, and trimmed with sandstone. 
 
 The building surrounds two large courts, used as playgrounds by 
 the pupils. The easterly half, facing Montgomery Street, is occupied 
 by the English High School, a transverse corridor connecting the 
 two, whilst the recitation rooms, twenty-four in number, for each 
 School, are reache<l bv longitudinal corridors runninir north .-iikI

 south. The main entrance of the Latin School is on Warren 
 Avenue. After entering the building, one sees on either side of this, 
 a raural tablet bearing the names of those graduates of the School 
 who fought in the war for the Union and returned to enjoy the 
 fruits of their patriotism ; while directly opposite, at the junction 
 of the transverse and long corridors is the beautiful statue, by 
 Greenough, which formerly stood in the Hall of the Bedford Street 
 building, of the Alma Mater of the School, reclining upon a shield, 
 on which the names of the dead heroes are inscribed. On either side 
 of the transverse corridor, on the first floor, are the following apart- 
 ments for each school: The janitor's room, a reception room for 
 parents or other visitors, a teachers' room answering to the faculty 
 room in a university, the Head Master's room and a library. These 
 rooms are furnished with every modern convenience, the reception 
 rooms being in direct communication through call bells with every 
 teacher's room in the building. 
 
 On the second floor, and leading from the transverse corridor, are 
 the janitor's bed-room, kitchen and parlor, and a large lecture room, 
 accommodating nearly 200 students, and opening into a cabinet of 
 natural history, from which the lecturer on zoology or botany may 
 take the specimens with which to illustrate his lecture. On the same 
 floor, but leading from the long corridor, is a laboratory for the study 
 of physics and chemistry. 
 
 On the third floor are the rooms for drawing and the Exhibition 
 Halls of the Schools. The latter have seats for over 800 persons 
 in each hall, besides a broad platform which can accommodate many 
 more. Upon the walls of the Exhibition Hall are hung the portraits 
 of former Masters, and a few of those pupils who distinguished them- 
 selves in our late war. 
 
 The recitation rooms average twenty-five feet by thirty, are i^ro- 
 vided with thirty-six desks — this number is never exceeded, and 
 often one desk is taken out — and a neat bookcase opposite the 
 teacher's desk. Each room is heated not directly from the furnace, 
 but by the process of indirect radiation, the pure air from outside 
 becoming heated by passing over coils of heated wire — a process 
 which eliminates the possibility of a particle of coal-gas finding its 
 way into the school-room. There are besides, ventilators above 
 and below, which draAv away the impure air. In addition to these 
 devices there are toplights over the windows which can be opened 
 or closed at pleasure. 
 
 Each room is provided with an electric clock, and with eighteen 
 
100 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 closets about three feet high, which are partitioned off for the 
 boys' hats and coats. After this part of the work was done, the 
 objection was made that the boys' coats, if folded and placed in 
 these closets when wet, would dry very imperfectly, and not with- 
 out receiving serious injury, and though at first it was disregarded, 
 coat stands were subsequently placed in the long corridors in each 
 School. 
 
 The building was occupied early in 1881, but was not formally 
 dedicated until the 2*2nd of February of that year, when, in the 
 presence of a crowded assembly, consisting of more than three 
 thousand people, filling the large Drill Hall to its utmost capacity, 
 distinguished speakers representing both the Latin and the Eng- 
 lish High Schools gave interesting addresses, which, together with 
 a full and detailed description of the building, have been published 
 in a pamphlet by the School Committee, from which we extract 
 such as were made by representatives of our School : 
 
 A temporary platform, elegantly draped, was erected on the east- 
 erly side, in front of the cavalry entrance from Clarendon Street to 
 the magnificent hall, while numerous portraits of past Head-Masters 
 of the two Schools adorned the walls, and the Stars and Stripes hung 
 in festoons in front of the balconies. 
 
 Gen. Thomas Sherwin was in charge of the Hall, as marshal 
 assisted by the Officers of the Latin and English High School 
 Battalions, and the exercises were conducted in accordance with the 
 following

 After the invocation had been offered by the Rev. William Burnet

 Chairman of the Committee on Public Buildings of the City Govern- 
 ment, with a few appropriate remarks, delivered the keys to His 
 Honor Mayor Prince, as President of the School Board, who, after 
 receiving them, replied as follows : — 
 
 ADDRESS OF MAYOR PRINCE. 
 
 Mr. Chairman : — In behalf of the School Committee, I accept from you, 
 as the representative of the City Government, these keys in token of the 
 delivery of possession of this building, erected for the accommodation of the 
 Boston Latin and English High Schools, and its consecration to the purjDoses 
 of public education. In appropriating the large sum, more than three-quai'- 
 ters of a million of dollars, required for the purchase of land and construe-

 tion, the citizens have shown their ancient and traditional interest in the 
 cause of free schools. By the laws of the Commonwealth this stnicture now 
 passes from the control of the city to that of the Board of School Committee ; 
 and we of this Board and our successors in office, must watch well that the 
 gi'eat tioist thus reposed in us is faithfully executed, so that tlie objects for 
 which this costly temple was erected may be successfully accomplished. 
 Believing that the committee fully appreciate their responsibilities in the 
 premises, and tliat the accomplished teachers who will minister here fully 
 recognize tlie importance of their work, I have confidence that these great 
 schools will now enter upon a new career of enlarged usefulness, so that 
 they will not only benefit our own citizens but the peoi)le of the whole 
 Commonwealth. If such results are realized, the building of tliis edifice 
 was inspired by policy and wisdom. 
 
 The formal ceremonies of this dedication require me to deliver these keys 
 to the Chairman of the Committee on High Schools, and this accomplished, 
 my duties at this time are performed. Before making this delivery. I wish 
 to say a few words touching tliese Schools, which their importance and the 
 proprieties of the occasion seem to demand. Both of these Schools are 
 venerable, not only for their great age, but for their great success in accom- 
 plishing the objects of their organization. They both antedate our existence 
 as a city. The Latin School was established in 1G35. the English High 
 School in 1821. As there is a vast disparity in their ages, we cannot say 
 that they are ambo aequales aelatibus, but we may affirm that they are 
 
 Arcades ambo, 
 Et cantaie pares et respondere parati. 
 
 It may be said that the Latin School was brought here by Governor Win- 
 throp and the Puritan colonists, in 1630, for their first thought, after estab- 
 lishing a church was to organize a school. They built their religious, 
 educational, and political institutions on fomidations of rock ; for the First 
 Church still lives as with immortal youth; the First School— our Latin 
 School— still flourishes with no sign of decrepitude or decay; and the 
 political dogma to which we owe our existence as a nation — that tiixation 
 and representiition are inseparable — enunciated by the liberty-loving emi- 
 grants more than a hundred years before the Great Dechirution of the 
 United Colonies, is to-day tlie corner-stone of our glorious Constitution. 
 It is not strange that the education of the people was the early care of 
 the colonists. The number of learned men among tljem was most extraor- 
 dinary, when we consider the character of those who generally settle a 
 new country. It has been said — and, I believe, truly said — that between 
 1630 and KJ'JO there were in New England as many graduates oi Cambridge 
 and Oxford as could be found in any ixipulation of tlu" s;inie size in the 
 mother country. Mr. Savage, in liis history of New England, asserts that 
 during the first part of that period there was in Massacluisetts and Connecti- 
 cut a Cambridge graduate for every two hundred and fifty inhabitants, 
 "besides sons of Oxford not a few." "Probably," says the historian of 
 
HISTOKICAL SKETCH. 103 
 
 American Literature, "no other community of pioneers ever so honored 
 study, so reverenced the symbols of learning ; theirs was a social sti'ucture, 
 with its cornei"-stone resting on a book. Universal education seemed to 
 them a universal necessity, and they promptly jn'ovided for it in all its 
 grades." 
 
 They declared in their laws that it was "barbarous" not to be able j)er- 
 fectly to read the English tongue, and to know the general laws. They Avent 
 further, and declared that " skill in the tongues and liberal arts is not only 
 laudable, but necessary for the well-being of the Commonwealth." 
 
 Their zeal in this respect was well shown by their action touching 
 Michael Powell, the ruling elder of the Second Church of Boston. There had 
 been considerable difficulty in getting a minister to take chai'ge of this con- 
 gregation, and for a few years Mr. Powell conducted the worship, and so 
 satisfactorily that he would have been ordained teacher, had not the General 
 Court interfered and declared that it " would not suffer one that Avas illiter- 
 ate, as to academical education, to be called to the teaching office in sucli a 
 place as Boston." Mr. Powell "Avasa man of sense and good character, 
 and the objection to him was not that he was a layman, but that he Avas want- 
 ing in learning." 
 
 The public sentiment in respect to universal education was so strong as to 
 induce the passage of laAvs for its accomplishment, and as early as the year 
 1649 every Ncav England colony except Rhode Island made public instruc- 
 tion compulsory by laAV. Every toAvn containing fifty householders Avas 
 required to support a school for reading and writing, and CA'ery toAvn 
 containing one hundred householders a grammar school, Avith a teacher 
 competent " to fit youths for the miiversity." 
 
 They did this not only — to quote from the old law that — "learning might 
 not be bviried in the gi'aves of our fathers," but that they might baffle that 
 " ould deluder Sathan," Avhose one chief project is "to keep men from the 
 knowledge of the Scriptures, by persuading them from the use of tongues." 
 
 As the historian Tjder well remarks, "only six years after John Win- 
 throp's arrival in Salem harbor, the people of Massachusetts took from their 
 own treasury the funds Avith Avhich to found a university ; so that while the 
 ti'ee-stumps were as yet scarcely weather-broAvned in their earliest harvest- 
 fields, and before the nightly hoAvl of the wolf had ceased from the outskirts 
 of their villages, they had made arrangements by which even in that Avilder- 
 ness their young men could at once enter upon the study of Aristotle and 
 Thucydides, of Horace, and Tacitus, and the Hebi'ew Bible." 
 
 We can appreciate the public solicitude for learning when we recall the 
 noble declaration of the high-spirited Ncav England matron to her son : 
 ' ' Child, if God make thee a good Christian and a good scholar thou hast all 
 that thy mother ever asked of thee." 
 
 Epitaphs are often true expressions of jjopular sentiment. On the tombstone 
 of a young and promising minister who early died here Avas inscribed — 
 beneath the hie jacet: " The ashes of a hard student, a good scholar, and a 
 great Christian." 
 
104 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 But the early Puritans were not solicitous in respect to education merely 
 from ** the love they bore to learning," nor for the sole reasons set forth in 
 the legislation to which I have referred. Those of them wiio were deep 
 tliinkers and studied the future, saw another value in popular intelligence. 
 They had l>eeii driven from tlie fatherland into emigration by the ])crsecu- 
 tion of the Englisli hierarchy, and were convinced tliat the English govern- 
 ment in tlieir treatment of Dissenters would always retlect tlie intolerance of 
 tlie English Church. They therefore felt tliat the time would come — and, 
 l)erhaps, ere long, when they or their posterity would be compelled to estab- 
 lish an independent government for the attainment and maintenance of the 
 great objects wliich prompted their emigration, — civil and religious libeity. 
 The shadow of coming events was seen as early as 1033, — three years after 
 their landing here, — when tlie stout-hearted and irrepressible Roger Williams 
 asserted the novel but prolilic doctrine "that the people were the origin of 
 all power in the government."' This political tioitli, feniienting in the public 
 mind, generalized a vast amount of speculation upon the natural rights of 
 man, and the elementary principles of the social compact. It evoked new 
 theories in respect to the nature of government, and evolved new views of 
 the powers and rights of the people. The colonists soon began to recognize 
 the great tinith — now regarded, wherever there is constitutional liberty, as 
 axiomatic — that government is merely the agent of the people for the man- 
 agement of their political aftairs, and the enforcement of those fundamental 
 rules and principles which are necessary for the i)rotection of the rights of 
 the members of the body politic and the maintenance of social order ; that 
 such agent, like all agents, is responsiljle to its constituents for the way it 
 executes its delegated powers, and that it can be dismissed from office when 
 the latter shall think it for their interest to exercise the right of doing so. 
 
 But it was obvious to those far-seeing men that no such goverimient could 
 be establi.slied or successfully maintained if the requisite conditions were 
 wanting; that it was absurd to expect that there could be free institutions 
 unless there were intelligent citizens; that ignorance was incompatiblt- witii 
 liberty. They felt, in the eloquent words of the committee who recom- 
 mended in after years the establishment of the p]nglish High School, " that 
 to presen'e tranqnillitj'and order in acommunit3% i^erpetuate the blessings of 
 society and fnse government, and promote the happiness and prosperity of 
 the people, tliere must be a general dift'usion of knowledge." 
 
 Free public education was, therefore, made an in)])ortant object of jiolitical 
 care and State i)olicy, and the most generous provision for its sui)i)ort i-arl}- 
 and unceasingly made. Liberal a.s our citizens are to-day in their appropria- 
 tions for the cause of popular education, they give no more — i)erhaps not 
 so nuich — as the colonists six years after tlieir landing, when the sul)seription 
 towards tiie maintenance of a .schoolmaster was circulated, headed by " tlio 
 Governor, Mr. IleiuT Vane, Esq.," for ten j)ounds, and Deputy tiovernor 
 John Winthrop, and Ricliard Bellingham, «'ach for tiie same sum ; forty-two 
 others of that poor. God-fearing. l)ut letters-loving comnumity subscribing 
 according to their ability. Our Puritiin ancestors felt with the great Roman 
 
statesman and pliilosopher, that we cannot confer a gi'eater benefit upon our 
 country than by instructing and giving a proper direction to the minds of our 
 3'outh. Quid muiius Reipublicae majus — ineliusve afferre possurnus — quam 
 si jtiventutem docemus et bene erudiimis'? 
 
 The first school, as I have observed, was gathered in 1635, as soon after 
 the arrival of the emigrants as there were probably children to teach, Avhen, 
 to quote the recoi'd, they " enti'eated brother Philemon Poi-mort to become 
 school-master for the teaching and nurturing of children with us." 
 
 There is some reason to doubt whetlier brother Philemon ever consented to 
 serve as schoolmaster, so that it may be claimed that he was the first teacher 
 of this ancient school. The records say that the Rev. Daniel Maude was 
 " also chosen" to the office of school-master in August, 1636, and it appears 
 that when the Rev. Jolm "Wheelwright Avas banished in 1637 for heterodoxy 
 on certain doctrinal points, among those who went away with him was 
 brother Philemon ; so that if he ever taught this School it was only for a 
 few months. 
 
 I have never seen the course of study adopted at the organization of the 
 first school, but it would seem that the higher branches, and not merely 
 elementary instruction were taught from the start. We know that Latin was 
 taught, because some of the pupils knew it ; hence the inference that the 
 first school from its establishment was a Latin School. 
 
 I have never seen any reliable description of the School-house where this 
 first school was located ; but it was not probably more elegant or more 
 imposing in its architecture than the first church, which had mud walls and 
 a thatched roof. It was situated in School Street, very near the spot, if not 
 on it, where the statue of Franklin now stands ; so that the location of that 
 memorial of the great philosopher and constant advocate of popular educa- 
 tion, on the site where he received his first instruction, was appropriately 
 chosen. All places hallowed by sacred associations will be regarded by the 
 cultivated and I'efined with sentiments of reverence, and the desire to protect 
 them from uses degrading to the religio loci naturally obtains. The alumni, 
 therefore, must be gratified to know that the statue of the great man guards 
 the original and natal location of the old School. 
 
 Although the two original buildings consecrated to religion and education 
 were thus humble, yet as the years went by and the material prosperity of 
 the country increased, better structures were erected for the accommodation 
 of both church and school. We know that the former Avas removed from its 
 first site in State Street to Washington street, where Joy's* Building now 
 stands, thence to Chauncy Street, and thence to the beautiful temple on 
 Berkeley Street. We know that the latter was removed from its original 
 location to that opposite on the same street, now occupied by a jjai-t of 
 Parker's Hotel ; that afterward it was removed to Bedford Street, and then 
 to this magnificent edifice. But we do not know, nor can we determine with 
 the same certainty, what has been the influence of this first church and first

 school, during their long existence, on this coiniuunity. We may safely say, 
 however, tliat to their teachings the people of Boston largely owe the moral, 
 religious, anil intellectual culture which has so greatly distinguished them in 
 all their history — ab urbc cotulUa — that to these they owe the formation of 
 that solidity of character which has ever made tliem the earnest advocates of 
 the principles of civil and religious liberty — the leaders in every social and 
 l^olitical reform, and tlie friends of every measure for the elevation of man 
 and the 2)romotion of civilization. We are indebted to these teachings for 
 tlie great influence we had in establishing the mdependence of the colonies, 
 and in shaping the character and policy of tlie government in tlie early days 
 of the Republic. We are indebted to these teachings for much of our won- 
 derful municipal prosperity. 
 
 We lind evidence of the successful work of tlie Latin School, in its early 
 histoiy, in the fact that it was able, with tlie Grammar School on Bennett 
 Street, and three writmg-schools, to instruct all the youth of Boston previous 
 to tlie Revolution. At that time tliey accommodated about nine hundred 
 scholai-s. We find evidence of the success of the School in subsequent years 
 in the large number of its distinguished ahmmi who attained eminence in 
 the arts and .sciences, in law, medicine, and theology, and in the mercantile, 
 manufacturing, and mechanical professions. 
 
 For many years most of tlie young men were here prepared for .idniission 
 to Harvard College, so that during its long existence it has well dischai*ged 
 the objects set forth in the law under which it was established, "to fit youtlis 
 for the universit}'," and I think that it has been generally found that the 
 graduates of this School were as well if not better fitted than those of other 
 schools. 
 
 This institution has been fortimate in all its history in being under the care 
 of able teachers — teachers who were not only eminent for learning and 
 culture, but for their comprehension of instruction as an art and their capac- 
 ity to teach. Many of them have been highly distinguished as successful 
 educators. Under the charge of the accomplished scholar who is now tlie 
 Principal of this School we may indulge the confident expectation that its 
 character and repuUition will be maintiiincd in tlie future. 
 
 The English High School had its origin in tlie want that was felt in tJu' 
 early part of this century for a school where tliose who had not the wish, or 
 were without the means, to obtain a collegiate education, might receive 
 instruction in some of the branches of practical importance, generally tauglit 
 only at colleges. The Latin School, as has been stated, had for its chief 
 purpose the fitting ui boys for tlie university. 
 
 These schools have occupied the same l)uilding in Bedford Street for nearly 
 forty years. We now dedicate to their joint use this beautiful structure. 
 May they continue to occupy it in harmony and jirosperity ns long as mun- 
 dane things are permitted to endure. 
 
 This day is inemorable ami dear to our citizens and to all Americans as 
 the natal anniversary of tlie Fatlier of his country. I invoke the blessings of 
 his spirit on these two institutions, that they may not t>nly instill into our youth

 the desire for intellectual and moral truth, so as to lead them through the 
 pursuits of knowledge, to cultivate, as Tully has well said, in our mortal life 
 the pursuits of heaven, but may also inculcate the spirit of a lofty patriotism, 
 that there may be always here, where Washington first drew his sword in the 
 cause of civil liberty, those Avho will make every sacrifice for its defence. 
 
 Mr. Chairman of the Committee on High Schools, I now conclude the part 
 assigned to me in this dedication by delivering you these keys. I do so with 
 great pleasure, being well assured that you and your committee will faith- 
 fully administer the supervisory powers in respect to these schools delegated 
 to you by the Board. 
 
 RESPONSE OF CHARLES L. FLINT, ESQ. 
 
 Mr. Mayor: — In behalf of the Committee on High Schools, I accept the 
 ti-ust of which these keys are a fitting recognition. Let me express the ^jro- 
 found satisfaction of the committee with the completion of the plans for the 
 accommodation of tlie great schools which are to occupy this house. These 
 schools have labored for years under the most trying disadvantages, with 
 classes scattered about at considerable distance from the main building, and 
 imder circumstances which made it impossible to do the best work, or work 
 which was satisfactory to the teachers themselves. That they have been able 
 tt> maintain their popularity, imder such conditions, and even to grow in 
 efficiency and usefulness, is due chiefly to the extraordmary good fortmie of 
 the committee in securing and retaining a corj)S of instructors in both schools 
 luisurpassed for ability, and devoted heai't and soul to the work they were 
 called upon to do. 
 
 The schools were never, Ave believe, iii a stronger position than they are 
 now. TheyAvere never in a condition to do better work. With tlie facilities 
 which this building will afford, when our rooms are furnished, as I have no 
 doubt they will be, with suitable chemical, physical and philosopliical appar- 
 atus, the appliances which science and mechanical skill have devised, we 
 shall be recreant to our duty if we fail to impart a training which will fit the 
 young to enter upon the activities of life with all the conditions requisite to 
 success, so far as they depend on instruction in the public schools 
 
 We wish to express our grateful acknowledgments to you, sir, and to 
 the City Government, for the mimificent liberality that has provided so 
 generously for the wants of these schools, and to the Committee and the 
 Superintendent of Public Buildings, and especially to the City Architect for 
 his admirable and thoughtful designs for the comfort and convenience of 
 teachers and pupils. It may be easy to suggest improvements and to find 
 fault with defects Avhen the work is done, but, take it all in all, we believe it 
 to be the gi'andest and most complete school-house in this country, if not in 
 the world. We thank you all, sir, for the excellent way in which the work 
 has been done It is a monument, noble in its designs, magnificent in its 
 proportions, and fit to coimiiemorate the wise and far-seeing liberality of our 
 citizens. 
 
108 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 The committee. I am sure, feel a deep sense of responsibility to the 
 citizens who ni:unt;uii these schools, and to the parents whoso sons are to be 
 tauglit here. Let us have your considerate co-operation, your generous cou- 
 lidence, and your heartj' support, and we will make tliese schools not only 
 the pride of every citizen, but the crowning glory of the free public .school 
 system of Boston. 
 
 After music by the choir, Mr. Flint continued ; — 
 
 Mr. Merrill, IIcad-Maslcr of the Public Latin School: I have the honor, on 
 behalf of the committee, to entrust these keys to you. They are the symbols 
 of your authority. Since the committee called you to the honorable anil 
 responsible position at the head of this great School, they have watched you 
 day by day, with increasing contidence in j'our ability, in your scholarship, 
 and in your practical sagacity. When you entered upon your duties, four 
 years ago, tlie school had suUered from a variety of causes. Its general 
 tone and its discipline were low, and it failed to command the entire con- 
 fidence of the School Board, or of the community. 1 state what I know 
 fi'om my own experience when I say it was a source of great anxiety to the 
 committee in charge. You have revolutionized it in these i-espects. and you 
 are fairly entitled to the credit of it. The Latin Scliool was never in a better 
 condition, so far as its general tone and spirit are concerned, tlian it is 
 to-day. I do n(jt believe its corps of teachers was ever so exceptionally 
 strong and efficient at any one time in the past, or so united in their eflbrts 
 to do the best possible work for the credit and the reputation of the school 
 itself. 
 
 You are at the head of the oldest free public .*;chool in tlxis countiy. It 
 was the work of men struggling with tlie hardships and the gloomy isolation 
 of colonial life, but determined, let what would come, that learning should 
 not be buried in the graves of their fathers. If there ever was a case where 
 men builded better than they knew, it Avas that of the early fatliers of Xew 
 England, when they started to embody in a material and practical fonu the 
 declaration of their great spiritual leader, "that government, as the natural 
 guardian of all the young, has the right to compel the people to support 
 schools." They applied that i)rinei jjle for the first time here, in the establish- 
 ment of this school, only five years after the settlement of this i)lace, and 
 while the little ccdony was still hanging almost on tlie verge of despair. 
 
 The history of the School, therefore, dates back to the early infancy of 
 the colony of the Massachusetts Bay, to a jieriod anterior to the founding of 
 Ilan-ard College, and for a hundred years or more it was regarded as " the 
 principal school of all the colonics, if not in all America." It is, :us wo all 
 know, a preparatory school. It has always been regarded as such, and as 
 such in times i)ast it gained a high and well-earned reputation as the most 
 efficient institution in the country, nobly and honorably accomplishing its 
 mission, and proving itself to bo a priceless blessing to this community. 
 
 But though somewhat venerable with age, there is still abundant room lor 
 i'rowth. The standard of seliolarship reijuiretl for admission to our colleges

 is constantly advancing, so that we shall be obliged constantly to produce 
 better results, and forced not only to do more work, but to raise the standard 
 of admission to the higher classes. To make such changes as may be needed 
 fi-om time to time in the course of studies, to keep the School in the line of 
 growth and progress so as to accomplish the highest results, will require 
 constant watchfulness, consummate skill, and an untu-ing devotion. The 
 committee, I need not say, will give you all the aid in their power, and will 
 cordially co-oi^erate with you in your efforts to maintain the ancient renown 
 of an institution which was for many years regarded as by far the best pre- 
 parator}'- school in all America. 
 
 RESPONSE OF HEAD-MASTER MOSES MERRILL. 
 
 Mr. Chairman: — In receiving these kej'S from your hands, we are re- 
 mmded of the obligations resting upon us as instructors of youth. We 
 trust that this responsibility is never lost sight of. But it is well to call 
 attention at times to the services demanded of us and to the trust re])osed in 
 us, lest we may forget that the influence of our woi'k here is far-reaching, 
 boundless as eternity itself. 
 
 The vocation of teaching is subordinate to that calling alone wliich devotes 
 itself to the interests of the soul. Our fathers associated the two ; they felt 
 that erudition in theological lore was an essential qualification for teaching 
 the yomig, especially in the higher institutions of learning. This sentiment 
 has not altogether disappeared, though the occuj)ations are now, practically, 
 distinct. A diflferent course of study and a difTerent kind of instruction are 
 necessary for a suitable preparation for teaching. Still, the minister of the 
 Gospel is, as he ever has been, an earnest advocate of mental culture ; he 
 believes in an intelligent piety. On the other hand, the teacher, if true to 
 his profession, will have regard for the moral and spiritual nature of his 
 pupils. On the union of this moral and mental culture deijend the broadest 
 development of man's character, his own well-being, the purity of society, 
 and the security and perpetuity of our fi*ee institiitions. 
 
 Therefore, may the pupils of this School ever obey the precepts of Diviae 
 revelation in their widest meaning, as given to us in the Proverbs of 
 Solomon: "Get wisdom; get understanding; forget it not, neither decline 
 from the words of my mouth ; forsake her not and she shall preserve thee ; 
 love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the princijjal thing; there- 
 fore get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get understanding. Exalt her 
 and she shall promote thee ; she shall bring thee to honor when thou dost 
 embrace her. She shall give to thine head an oraament of grace, and a 
 crown of glory shall she deliver to thee." 
 
 You have been kind enough, Mr. Chairman, on various occasions, to speak 
 approvingly of the condition of the School since it has been enti-usted to my 
 care. Your words to-day, accord to me, I fear, more credit than I deserve. 
 I wish to confirm all you have said in praise of my associates, and to assure 
 you that we are greatly indebted to them for whatever success, in your judg- 
 
110 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 ment, we have attained. We also wish to thank you, sir, as well as your 
 colleagues ami the parents of the pupils, for your prompt and heaity supix)rt 
 ill promoting the welfare of the School. But all eftbrts of teachers avail not 
 to make a school successful, unless they have the sympathy and willing 
 obedience of their pupils. This state of things appeal's to exist. As our boys 
 advance through their respective classes from year to year, and reach the 
 first class, — the sixth form, in which Dr. Arnold placed tlie hope and the 
 confidence of Ids school-work, — we see them putting off" childish things, and 
 tlie senseless frivolities of earl}' j'outh, and becoming manly and honorable, 
 ai^i^reciative and generous in their feelings. Such a class, a fit repre- 
 sentative of previous classes, we can present to you to-day. Be assured that 
 so long as this continues, you need have no anxiet}- about the order and 
 well-being of the School. 
 
 Two hundred and forty -six }ears ago tlie residents of the infant colony of 
 Massachusetts established this School "for the teaching and nourtering of 
 children witli us." We have no historical statement of the fact, except 
 jjossibly that which the !Mayor has given us to-day, but it is reasonable to 
 suppose that the first Governor of the colony gave the measure his hearty 
 support. It would be incongi'uous to suppose otherwise. He was an 
 educated man, and we know that he was an ardent supporter of public 
 education in his adopted home. Could he have looked through the vista of 
 coming centuries, and seen the development of his hazardous experiment 
 into the metropolis of to-daj-, with its teeming population, with its vast in- 
 dustrial interests, with its churclies and schools, and the distinction of its 
 citizens, especially those bearing his own name, he might have exclaimed, 
 in the words of Anchises, as he beheld from the abodes of bliss, in prophetic 
 vision, the glory of Rome, the mistress of the world, in the golden age of 
 Augustan power and literature : — 
 
 Illitstris utiiinas, uosti'iimque in nouicii ituras. 
 
 It is eminently fittmg that we should have with us to-day the chief magisti*ate 
 of the Commonwealth, to ratify and confirm the act of his great predecessor, 
 to give dignity and impressivencss to these exercises by the weight of his 
 ofiicial position and his personal character. It is also a fortunate circum- 
 stance that, among the i)rominent graduates of our School, we have here 
 to-day a lineal descendant of the first Governor, a fellow-citizen whom we 
 delight to honor, himself an alumnus of the School, whose presence and 
 utterances will prove a benediction, who, in tlie fullness of years and wisdom, 
 will give us, in his own eloquent way, words of counsel and encouragement. 
 We have assembled to-day to dedicate this building to the moral and 
 mental culture of our youth, the highest purposes to which it could be 
 devoted save the promulgation of the Gospel of tlie Saviour of mankind. 
 But let us reiucnib( r that tliis is not exclusively our own gift ; it is a legacy 
 we have received from our fatht-rs We have taken this legacy, added to it, 
 enlarged it by generous oflerings, and ailapted it to the needs of our day and 
 generation. Let there bo no complaints, no regrets. Let us transmit this

 offering to our children with the same generous impulses and noble aims as 
 our fathers transmitted it to us. May it do as much for them as it has done 
 for us. In their turn they will take the legacy, when it is no longer suitable 
 for them in the foi-m in which we present it, enlarge it, and transmit it to 
 generations farther on. Therefore, all honor to those who have had any- 
 thing to do, from the beginning to the end, with this public benefaction. 
 
 The aims of the two schools occuj^ying the building are dilierent. Cicero 
 says : " Omnes artes, quae ad humanitatem pertinent habent quoddam com- 
 mune vinculum et cognatione quadam inter se continentur." This involves a 
 jjrinciple in education as ti'ue to-day as when these words were uttered. 
 The following version, nearly a literal translation, answers our present pur- 
 pose : "All branches of knowledge which tend to the cultivation and 
 refinement of the mind have a common bond of union and a certain close 
 relationship to one another." The more one knows the better. But no 
 mind can grasp all knowledge. A selection must be made. We think we 
 have the best selection on our side ; they think they have the best on the 
 other side. But there need be no quarrel. The two schools will occu^jy the 
 building in peace, in the spirit of an admission recently made by an eminent 
 scientist in England, Prof. Huxley, who said: "I am the last person to 
 question the importance of genuine literary education, or to suppose that 
 intellectual cultm-e can be comj^lete without it. An exclusively scientific 
 training will bring about a mental twist as surely as an exclusively literary 
 ti'aining." 
 
 In the spirit of this f)artial concession to the advantage of linguistic 
 studies, these schools will meet the wants of our people. There is enough 
 oi the literary element in the one, and enough of the scientific element 
 in the other, to save each from the charge of exclusiveness. 
 
 I need enter upon no eulogy of the Avork of the English High School. Its 
 results have been conspicuous. Among its graduates, eminent in the various 
 callings of life, some to-day will tell what it has done for them and for their 
 fellow-students. 
 
 The Latin School, let us hoj^e, in days to come as in days past, will lay a 
 broad foundation for intellectual development, which will be but the 
 beginning of a long course of study, culminating in the learned pro- 
 fessions or in other j^ositions equally important and influential, bringing 
 credit to the School, to the pupils themselves, honor to their native city, 
 strength and renown to the Commonwealth and to the nation. 
 
 After a brief address to the Master of the English High School, 
 and a response from Mr. Waterhouse, Mr. Flint, turning to the 
 audience, then resumed: — 
 
 Ladies and Gentlemen : — It would obviously be improper for me to detain 
 you many moments from the sequel to these formal ceremonies. I am well 
 aware tliat this is a day of congratulation rather than of suggestion, and yet 
 there is one thought, not new by any means, but worthy of frequent repeti- 
 
112 
 
 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 tion, tliat I wish I could impress upon the minds of the parents of our boys. 
 It is that, tiiking our community as a whole, we are too much inclined 
 to rely upon line school-Iiouses, upon accomplished teachers, and upon 
 elaborate and costly appliances for instruction. All these are important, 
 to be sure, and by no means to be overlooked, but every teacher, and 
 every active member of a committee must realize and appreciate the far 
 greater importance of wise parental discipline and sound instruction at 
 home. 
 
 Our schools and colleges can do much, but tliey cannot do all. They 
 ought to be regarded merely as supplementary to the more important in- 
 fluences of tlie home. We must not confound instruction with education. 
 The teachers of our public schools can have their puj)ils, at the most, but 
 five hours a day, and that time must be given chiefly to instruction, so that 
 most of the influences which go to build up a noble and finished character 
 must come from parents at home. If we would have an Eton or a 
 Rugby, we must comply with the conditions which such schools impose. 
 We must give up our boys to the more complete control of competent 
 teachers. 
 
 The boys of our cities are far too apt to rely upon outside influences for 
 growth and mental development. They are not sufliciently self-reliant. 
 They are not so self-reliant as bo3-s brought up in the country, and for 
 obvious reasons. They seem to wait to be taught, to have knowledge poured 
 into them as it were, — as if their minds were mere storehouses, when thej 
 ought to be workshops. 
 
 Now, there is no plainer axiom than this, that the mind grows only by i;s 
 own action. We cannot ti'avcl b}' railway from ignorance to knowledge. 
 Tlie way through mental discipline to a high standard of intellectual culture 
 is as slow and laborious now as it ever was. The school and the college c»n 
 aid by giving direction, but tliey cannot supply a lack of mental force. 
 They must rely ujion home influences to stimulate ambition, to infuse energy, 
 to kindle enthusiasm, and to create a love for the work of the School. 
 
 Now, what you and wliat I can do, to a certain extent, is just this : We can 
 stimulate mental activity in our boys. We can do something to encounige 
 them to gi'eater self-reliance. We can impress upon tliem construitly tlie 
 idea tliat they must work out their own salvation ; that whatever we may do 
 for tlicni, whatever teachers and schools and books may do for them, wll 
 amount to very little unless they learn to rely upon themselves. Tliere can 
 be no strong, stalwart, well-developed manliood tliat is obliged all the time 
 to lean on sometiiing outside of itself for support, and a true education ought 
 to fit a man to meet emergencies, to fight the battle of life manfullv, and to 
 crown it with victorj'.

 of good education." An act so remarkable for felicity of expression as to 
 amount almost to fervid eloquence was passed by the Legislature of 1789, 
 and it is so short that I am sure you will pardon me for reading a single 
 section of it. It was enacted : — 
 
 "That it shall be, and it is hereby made the duty of the President, pro- 
 fessors, and tutors of the University at Cambridge, preceptors and teachers 
 of academies, and all other insti-uctors of youth to take diligent care and to 
 exert their best endeavors to impress on the minds of children and youth 
 committed to their care and instruction, the principles of piety, justice, and a 
 sacred regard to truth, love of their country, humanity and universal benevo- 
 lence, sobriety, industiy and frugality, chastity, moderation and temperance, 
 and those virtues which are the ornament of human society, and the basis 
 upon which the republican constitution is structured. And it shall be the 
 duty of such instructors to endeavor to lead those under their care (as their 
 ages and capacities will admit) into a particular imderstanding of the 
 tendency of the before-mentioned virtues, to preserve and perfect a republi- 
 can constitution and to secure the blessings of liberty, as well as to promote 
 their futiu-e happiness, and the tendency of the opposite vices to slavery and 
 ruin." 
 
 It is the spirit of this remarkable act, embodying, as it does, the very 
 elements of popular education and civil liberty which had been worked out 
 by the experience of the early fathers ; breathing, as it does, in every line, 
 the loftiest sentiments, and appealing to all men of culture and sound 
 principles to stand round atjd support and elevate the standai'd of popular 
 education, — it is the spirit of this act that has pervaded and directed our 
 sj'stem of free public schools from its passage, more than ninety years ago, 
 down to the present hour. I have the honor to introduce to you His 
 Excellency, Governor Long. 
 
 ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR LONG. 
 
 The enactment which you have just read, Mr. Chairman, lacks something 
 of conciseness, and, if you will pardon me, of entire felicity of exj)ression. 
 But, in its spirit, it well emphasizes the demand of ^Massachusetts that her 
 children shall be insti'ucted not only in studies that make the mind acute and 
 strong, but in the good morals which lie at the foundation of character and 
 of the State. Most sincerely, while bringing to the dedication on Washing- 
 ton's birthday of this new temple of learning, so spacious and elegant, the 
 good words and wishes of the Commonwealth, do I trust that, in conformity 
 with her spirit and statutes, its teaching shall be the ti'uth, its insjjiration 
 shall be humanitj-, and its fruit the citizen free and ti'ue. And let us not 
 forget that it is not the munificent gift of some princely magnate, but the 
 more mmiificent self-imposed contribution of tlie body of the peojile. 
 
 As a part of the great educational system, Avhich from the first the 
 Commonwealth has fostered, these two noble schools belong to IMassachu- 
 setts. The Latin School dates its beginning almost with that of the Colony. 
 
 UNIVERSITY 
 
114 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 It foreran Ilananl College. Among its teachers, at the opening of the 
 Revolution, it saw the older Lovell, a Tory refugee, and the younger, a 
 flaming pati-iot, at the side of tliose Massachusetts heroes, Hancock and 
 Adams. And, to-day, I see its scholars stiiiiding before nie in the uniform 
 of the State militia. It is the General Court that, under the lead of a gallant 
 young colonel of my staff [Colonel Iligginson], is authorizing their instimc- 
 tion in military drill. And yet, as I behold their gun barrels ranged aroimd 
 these -walls, I am glad to see that their arms jield i)laee to tlie citizfn's gown. 
 The Latin School has been not more a nursery of classical learning than of 
 a better than classical love of country. "Within these walls the sculjjtured 
 marble weej^s over the record of its patriot martyrs. The names that have 
 won Massachusetts most glory for statesmanship, eloquence, letters, the 
 l^ulpit, and all well-doing, are, many of them, written on its rolls. If it 
 could be typified in some life-like form, holding in its griu;p not a spear but 
 a book, surmounted nut by a helmet but by a scholar's cap, it would well 
 represent our Massachusetts common schools and stand as the .tVmcrican 
 Palladium, its eyes flashmg fire at any desecrating touch, conscious that upon 
 its presentation forever depends the safety of the Republic. 
 
 Amid all this architectural vastness and convenience how the imagination 
 tries to picture the homely shed that once stood in the rear of King's Chapel! 
 The successive steps of the Latin School from house to house, wide as is the 
 divergence from the first to the last, are, however, only in keeping with the 
 man'cllous gi-owth of the city and the Commonwealth. "Whether the cause 
 of good learning has kept jiace with the enlargement of its temjiles and with 
 the increase in the number of its votaries is not so certain. One might doubt 
 it in the presence of "Winlhrop, who sits here a graduate of this School, his 
 vigor unimpaired, chosen out from more than fifty millions of i)eoi)le, not 
 more for his great ancesti'al name than for his scholarship here first acquirt'd, 
 to be the orator of the next great centennial of the American Republic. One 
 might doubt it, too, in the presence of Emerson, that otlier graduate who is 
 also here, and who is indeed wherever education and the culture of the soul 
 refine the air through which the si)irit springs to heaven. Be it remembered 
 that the one object of education, forever and now, is not to make the mind a 
 storehouse full-crammed, not to dissipate it in the shattering endeavor to 
 grasp all knowledge, but to enable a man, whatever his faculties or resources, 
 to command, to use, to apply tliem to the fidl, — if he lift a liammer, to strike 
 the n:iil on the head, — if he cleave a log, to strike it in the very centre, — if ho 
 argue a cause, to drive straight at the heart and the understanding, (liven 
 this ability and the education tluis to use and exj)end his ]K)wer, and then the 
 storing of the mind and the variety and scope of accomplishment will take 
 care of themselves ; even as when a forest spring is j>ut to use and overfiows, 
 it is never exhausted, because the whole moxmtain-sido .'jpontaneously bleeds 
 at every vein to keep it full. The difference of one man from anotlicr is less 
 in j)ower than in the use of j)ower. Connnand of words, mxstery of languagi*. 
 are not more the distinction of Webster antl Bm-ke than <»f the most brilliant 
 speculator in mining stocks, or of the head man in a Xrw Kngland village.

 And yet how painful and pitiful is the daily spectacle of some gi-aduate of 
 our schools, soaked with lessons, who cannot put a thought into words, or a 
 purpose into execution. 
 
 But it is not for me to speak of the special to^Dics of education. Whatever 
 in that is best has here always fomid its opportunity, and, I am sure, here 
 always will find it. Rather, spealdng for the Commonwealth, and sjieaking, 
 too, for myself in connection ^vith a School in which I was once for a few 
 weeks a teacher, I love to recall the exquisite freshness and promise of the 
 scholar's life and pi'ogress, the delights of classical learning, the inspiration 
 of tlie acquirement of knowledge, the growing consciousness of mental grasp 
 and power, though it but blush and tremble at its own first essay at speech 
 or at poem. There is no range so noble, so fi'ee, so easy in its access to the 
 rarest communion, as the scholar's. Not by accident is it that rhetoric and 
 poetry and the Greek and Latin classics have been called the " humanities." 
 In one common hiunanity they link all ages, all times, all conditions. 
 Through these halls, many a boy, i^erhaps the humblest, a poet in his soul 
 and in his eyes, shall M'alk Avith Virgil hand in hand ; many a youthful 
 stammering orator have Demosthenes for his master, and many a lover of 
 letters rej^eat, fresh fi-om Cicero's tongue, his matchless tribute in their 
 praise. 
 
 Noblesse oblige ! In her poveity Massachusetts gave from her scanty store 
 that learning might not perish. Have no fear or distrust of her generosity. 
 That all her sons might be scholars she has cheerfully borne the heaviest 
 burden upon her labor and her sweat. And nobly hitherto has the scholar 
 resi^onded to the obligation, in his oavq self-respect, in his loyalty to her, in 
 liis patriotism, in his usefulness in the world. May it still be his, going out 
 from beneath this favored roof, with the mantle of three centuries now 
 settling down upon it, to show that, dubbed to grander service than that of 
 ancient knight, the scholar is noblest, not when his attainments, which he 
 owes to the common contribution, lift him aside from his fellow-men, but 
 when they equip and inspire him to mingle with them, to shed among them 
 his own better influence, and to spread abroad — himself an example — those 
 qualities, named in the legislative act of 1789, of piety, justice, regard for 
 truth, love of country, benevolence, industry, moderation and temperance, 
 wliich are the best "humanities," "which are the ornament of human 
 society, and on which the Republican Constitution is structured." 
 
 The Chaikmax. — His Excellency has sj^oken so well for the Common- 
 wealth, as it stands to-day, tliat we could almost wish we had several other 
 Governors to present to you. "We cannot so easily call up the living presence 
 of the first great Governor of the (I'olony of the Massachusetts Bay, but he 
 was a reality here two hundi'ed and fifty years ago, full of activity, earnest 
 in all good works, inspiring tlie settlers Avith courage and hope when they 
 were brouglit to the verge of despair, and contributing liberally of his own 
 means to found one of the great schools which are to occupy this grand 
 sti'ucture. But we have a descendant in the direct line from him, whose

 name he bears, and whose voice is always welcome, though too seldom heard 
 in our midst. It gives me pleasure to inti'oduce to you tlie Hon. Robekt C. 
 
 Wl.NTliUOP 
 
 ADDRESS OK HON. KOBEKT C. WINTHROP. 
 
 Most willingly, my friends, would I have been excused from the call wliich 
 lias now been made on me, — even at the cost of all the kind compliments by 
 which that call has been preceded and accompanied. And yet I could not 
 quite find it in my heart to be Avholly wanting to sucli an occasion. On tliis 
 day of all other days, — associated, as it is, and will forever be, with the 
 gi'andest character in American history, or in any other merely human history, 
 — I am most glad to find myself among those to whom that cliaracter should 
 always be held up as their l^est model, and by whom it should never cease to 
 be revered and venerated. 
 
 But I am not here to talk about "Washington. Nor do I propose to say 
 anything aljout Governor Winthroj), to whom .so many just and welcome 
 allusions have been made in connection witli my own name Indeed, you 
 will bear me witness, !Mr. Chainnan, tliat in accepting your repeated and 
 flattering invitations, I pi'omised to say only a few words ; and I trust that I 
 shall not too greatly exceed the measure of my iiromise. There are, I know, 
 older gi-aduates of the Boston Latin School tlian myself around me, — Mr. 
 Emerson, to whom you have given so marked and cordial a reception, Mr. 
 Dillaway, so long the Head Master ot tlie School, and my friend. Dr. Lotlirop, 
 to name no otliers. But they Avill all agree with me, and you will agree with 
 them, tliat any one Avho is obliged to turn back nearly tlireescore years to 
 find his name on the old catalogue, need make no apology for being brief, 
 on this or any other occasion. 
 
 I am here, tlien, ladies and gentlemen, only to manifest my earnest and 
 imdying interest in these great public scliools of Boston ; to renew the 
 assurance of my gratitude as a citizen for all that tliey have done for our 
 city, for our Commonweal tli, and for our whole coimtry; to testify afresh 
 my own personal gi'atitude for all that one of tliem did for me, under good 
 Master Gould, so many, many, years ago ; and to offer to them both, to their 
 pupils and to tlieir masters, my warmest felicitations on the completion of 
 the noble ediliec whicli they are lienceforlh i)rivileged to t)eeupy. 
 
 Tlie dedication of a massive and magnificent schoolhouse like tliis — 
 destined, as we hojie and trust, not only to outlast all, liowever yoimg, 
 wlio are gathered here to-day, but to be the resort of our children and 
 our children's cliildren in a far distant future — is an «K-casion, I need not 
 say, of most imiiressive and most suggestive interest. A well-remembered 
 English poet of tlio last century, in one of liis celebrated odes, looked back 
 from a «lisUince on tlio old towers of Eton, to prefigure and ])ortray some 
 of the varieties of jiersonal experience — prosjierous or adverse, joyous or 
 sad — which awaited the young pupils of that famous seminary. And a 
 most dismal and doleful picture lie presented of not a few of the little

 victims, as he styled them, with comatless ministers of fate lying in am- 
 bush around them, eager to seize and rack and rend them. No such 
 pictiu'e of an American school, or of any other school, would be accepted 
 in our day and generation. 
 
 It is for us, certainly, as we gather beneath these new towers of om- own, 
 to contemplate brighter and more cheering visions of the future. It is for 
 us, to-day, to look forward to a long procession of the children of our 
 beloved city streaming forth, year by year, from these noble halls, — not 
 exempt, indeed, from the trials and casualties of our common lot, or from 
 any of the ills that flesh is heir to, but pressing onward hopefully and 
 bravely, in ever-increasing throngs, to fight the great battle of life, to win 
 happiness and honor for themselves, and to add new sti'ength and new 
 security to those free institutions which can only rest safely on education and 
 intelligence. 
 
 I echo the impressive words just uttered by the good Master of the Latin 
 School. May that fear of God which is the beginning of Avisdom, and that 
 love of God which casteth out all fear, take jjossession of their hearts ; and 
 may His blessing be on all their worthy eflforts, both as boys and as men ! 
 But let them never forget that, under God, they are to be the mastei's of 
 their own fate, and of their own future. It will not be in their stars, — no, 
 nor in their school-houses, however humble, or however gi'and, — but in 
 themselves, if they are underlings, or if they shall grow up to the stature of 
 the noblest patriotism and public usefulness. There can be no real failure 
 for those who are true to themselves. 
 
 The old Latin School — to which I may be pardoned for one more special 
 allusion, as a former pupil — is now taking possession of its fifth local habita- 
 tion. We can trace it along from its first rude tenement of mud walls and 
 thatched roof, as the Mayor has just described it, to another, and another, 
 and still another, more substantial and commodious structure, until, at last, 
 this grand consummation has been reached. The fifth act opens in ti'iumph, 
 and the old School enters to-day, hand in hand with its accomplished younger 
 sister, upon a far more spacious and splendid theatre. Need I say, need any 
 one tell them, that larger exjiectations will rightfully be cherished of those 
 who are to enjoy these Larger opportunities and advantages ? INIay we not 
 reasonabh' call on every Boston boy, who enters these wide-spread gates 
 and shining archways, not to allow all the improvements to be confined to 
 the mere material sti'ucture, the mere outward shell, but to see to it that the 
 character of the schools shall take on something of the proportions, some- 
 thing of the beautj^ and grandeur of the building which the city has so 
 simiptuously provided for them ; and, still more, to see to it that his own in- 
 dividual character shall not be wanting towards making up the precious 
 mosaic of an institution worthy of such a home and such a history. 
 
 I might almost venture to conceive that some one of the young scholars 
 aromid us at this moment — and more than one — might catch an inspiration 
 from this very scene, and from all its rich associations and utterances, and, 
 recalling that exquisite stanza of Holmes''s " Chambered Nautilus," with all 
 
118 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 its marvellous transmutations and transmigrations, might say to himself, as 
 he retires from these impressive ceremonies : — 
 
 Build thee more stately mausinns, O my soul, 
 
 As the swift seasons roll ! 
 
 Leave thy low-vaulted past ! 
 Let each new temple, nobler than the last, 
 Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, 
 
 Till thou at lenjrth art free,— 
 Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea! 
 
 Such lines might almost claim a place among the illimiinated legends on 
 these walls. Certainly, tlieir sentiment might well be impressed on every 
 young heart which is beating high with the exultations of this hour. I can 
 add nothing to them. 
 
 The Chairman then called on the President of the Institute of 
 Technology, Prof. William B. Rogers, wlio said : — 
 
 Mr. Chairman. — You are well aware that it is with no small reluctance 
 tliat I have consented to ajjpear on this occasion. Bodily infirmities have 
 led to your indulgence now in jilacing me much before the position proper 
 to me in this celebration. I feel, when I look back, as I cannot help doing, 
 to the past history of these schools, and think of the time when a small 
 gathering of the citizens of the little town of Boston agreed to "entreat 
 Brother Philemon Poraiort to become a school-master for the teaching and 
 culture of the young folk aroimd,"" and Avhen I look now at what has been 
 accomplished in the course of these two and a half centuries by the intelli- 
 gence and provident wisdom of the citizens of Boston in the development 
 of tliese schools, now furnished witli such magnificent jireparation and 
 accommodation for tlieir instruction, I cannot but tliink of what may be the 
 question arising as to the progress which lias been made in the meantime in 
 that which is most important of all, — the real and substantial etlucation of 
 the youth of Boston and of the Commonwealtli. It is certainly true that 
 there has been great pi'ogress made in the methods of school-training, of 
 college and university education, as they have been successively developed ; 
 but it is not less true that tliere is a great deal to be done to secure tlie best 
 fruits of any of these forms of education. It has been adniiralily well said, 
 since I have been sitting in tliis audience, tliat it is not simjily in tlie magnifi- 
 cence of the accommodation, in the beauty and grandeur of the stnicture, or 
 even in the extent of the appliances for education, that its great benefits are 
 to consist. 
 
 I know perfectly well, I think I may say, tliat there are very few of the 
 youth now bef(n-e me who would answer tf) Sliakespeare's <lt'scrii)tion of the 
 "whining school-boy, with liis satchel and shining morning face, creeping 
 like a snail unwillingly — to school," excepting in tiie fact of the " .<;atchel 
 and the shining face," for now, such are the attractions of our well-orgjuiized 
 schools, that tlie reluctan(,'o here refeiTcd to, and which hjis become some- 
 what cliissical in our language, is of rare, exceedingly rare, occurrence. 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH, 119 
 
 The minds of youth are taught by being educed, by having more or less of 
 those arrangements and agencies brought to bear wliich help the student to 
 teach liimself, and we are learning now that real education does not consist 
 in the acciunulation of mere knowledge, as such simply, but in the ti'aining 
 of the faculties for the future uses of the man. It has been well said, — and 
 I know that to a large extent this maxim, if I may so call it, has been 
 brought into application in these great schools of Boston, — that intellectual 
 food should go to form mental muscle, and not mental fat. I for one am 
 entirely catholic in my views of education. I believe that mental muscle 
 may be nourished and sti'engthened by the study of the classical languages, 
 and I Ivuow that it can be strengthened to an almost unbounded extent by 
 the study of the laws and agencies of nature. It was said by Hobbes, with 
 only a pailial degi'ee of truth, I think, that " words are wise men''s counters : 
 they but reckon by them." I think that they are more than counters, that 
 they are genuine money. They stand for something which is not only other 
 than words, but wider, grander, and eternal in its character ; and that is, 
 they stand for things, for practical agencies, and phenomena, and laws ; and 
 upon this basis, and only upon this, can we erect a substantial and enduring 
 education. 
 
 We ought, perhaps, for a moment to think of what was the condition of 
 the civilized world at the time that Brother Pormort founded tliis little 
 School, — the first free school in Massachusetts, tlie first free school in the 
 United States, for we mvist remember that Boston was a veiy insignificant 
 place in the eye of the world at that time ; that all the American colonies 
 were but little at that time ; that there was no leisure here for the cultivation 
 of Philosophy, or of advancing science ; but in the Old World there was an 
 amazing activity in that seventeenth centmy, from its beguniing until its 
 close. Think what an array of gi-eat philosophers, great mathematicians 
 and physicists! Think of Galileo, who was then passing his last years a 
 prisoner at Arcetri! Of Spinoza, who was then a lad preparing for the 
 grand work of his logical philosophy ! Of Descartes, Avho was approaching 
 the zenith of his fame! Of Locke, who was just beginning to lisp his 
 mother's name ! And only seven j^ears after, think of the bright illumina- 
 tion that came upon the world in the birth of the illustrious mathematician 
 and astronomer. Sir Isaac Newton ! and you have something like a picture of 
 the high condition of intellectual activity and the wondrous advances that 
 were being made by the human mind on the other side of the Atlantic ; and I 
 cannot but believe that some of those influences, although the}^ spread very 
 slowly among the masses of mankind, passed across the Atlantic with the 
 Pilgrim Fathers, and had an influence in softening and enlarging that 
 theocratic government, sometimes almost a tyranny, which marked the 
 earliest stages of the Commonwealth. Let us reverence their memory. 
 Let us think only of the grand good which tliey have achieved, — a good 
 which achieved thus far is only an indication of ti-anscending future good. 
 But while we feel that we are advancing in all departments of knovrledge, in 
 philosophy, and in the natural sciences, let us not be too proud. Let us be

 tiuitudc of nescience."' • • • 
 
 After an address by Rev. S. K. Lothrop, D. D., for many years 
 Chairman of the English High School Committee, Mr. Flint said : — 
 
 Popular education in the free public school owes its origin vevy largely, if 
 not wholly, to the early Puritan clerg)'. Most of them were educated men, 
 who liad had the advantage of the best training which the English colleges 
 of that day could ofter; men well to do in the world, and abundantly able, 
 had they seen lit, to send their sons back to the mother country to school ; 
 and it is to their lasting honor, be it said, that, instead of tliat, they preferred 
 to build the school-house here, in the shadow of the primeval forest, and to 
 invite the sons of those less favored than themselves to come and share it 
 with their own. They thouglit tlie be-^t way to liglit Satan was through the 
 school-house, and they seem to have entertained the idea that one of Satan's 
 artful dodges was to keei) men from learning Latin and Greek. Perhaps we 
 have departed a little from the early Puritan faith ; at any rate, there is a 
 gentleman here who knows all about it, and I have the honor to introduce to 
 vou the Rev. Phillips Brooks. 
 
 ADDRESS OF REV. PHILLIPS BROOKS. 
 
 I .should be vei-y soriy, sir, at this late hour, to undertake to ti'eat of the 
 relations of religion to science. I heard, several hours ago, in this meeting, 
 some excellent remarks that were made upon tliat subject, and I think I 
 must leave to the thoughtfulness of this gi-eat assembly tlie gai'nering up of 
 the noble and wise things that were said to us by the Pi'incipal of tlie Latin 
 School. 
 
 I want to speak onlj- a few moments, if I can restrain myself so. It is all 
 very well to talk ab(Hit tlie magnificence of tills new building. It is magnifi- 
 cent — and we are thankful for it ; but to me tliero is soniL'tliing infinitely sad 
 and pathetic this morning in tliinking of our old Latin and English High 
 School-house standing empty and desolate down in Bedford Street. I can- 
 not get it out of my mind. I cannot, as I look around uiion the brilliancy of 
 this new building, forget what that old building has done. I cannot help 
 thinking of it almost as a person, and wondering if it hears what we are 
 saying here. I cannot help thinking that from the top of the old brown 
 cupola it looks across the length of the city and sees the i)innaoli'3 of this 
 new temple which is to take its place. I cannot help thinking that even 
 through its closed and dusty windows it is hearing something of tho 
 triumphant shouts with wliich its successor's walls are ringing. I cannot 
 helj) won<lerlng wliat it tliinks about it all. 
 
 r.ut when I know, letting that old School-house stand before mo for a 
 moment in personal sliape, — when I know what a dear and earnest old 
 creature it was, — when I know how carefully it looked after those who 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. 121 
 
 came into its culture and embrace, — when I know how many of us will 
 always look back to it, through the whole course of our lives, as the place 
 where were gathered some of the deepest insisirations that ever came to us, 
 I camiot but think that the old School is noble enough and generous enough 
 to look with joy and satisiaction upon this new building that has risen to take 
 its place. And, as the old jenv kindly and ungrudgingly sinks back into the 
 generations of the past, and allows the new 3-ear to come in with its new 
 activities, and as the father steps aside and sees the son who bears his nature, 
 and whom he has taught the best he knows, come forth into life and fill liis 
 place, so I am willing to believe that the old School rejoices in this, its great 
 successor, and that it is thinking (if it has thoughts) of its own useful career, 
 and congratulating itself wpon the earnest and faithful way in which it has 
 pursued, not only the special methods of knowledge which have belonged to 
 its time, but the p?<rposes of knowledge, which belong to all time, and must 
 pass from school-house to school-house, and from age to age, unchanged. 
 
 The perpetuity of knowledge is in the perpetuity of the purposes of knowl- 
 edge. The thing which links this School-house with all tlie school-houses of 
 the genei'ations of the past, — the thing that links together the great schools 
 of the middle ages, and the schools of old Greece, and the schools of the 
 Plebrews, where the youth of that time were found sitting at the feet of their 
 wise rabbis, — is the perpetual identity of the moral purposes of knowledge. 
 The methods of knowledge are constantly changing. The school-books that 
 were studied ten, twenty, thirty years ago have passed out of date ; the 
 scholars of to-day do not even know their names ; but the purpose for which 
 our school-books are studied, the things we are trying to get out of them, the 
 tilings which, if they are properly taught and studied, the scholars of to-day 
 do get out of them, are the same ; and so across the years we clasp hands 
 with our own school-boy days. 
 
 And there is to be the perpetuity of knowledge in the future. One 
 wonders, as he looks around this new School-house, what is to be taught here 
 in the years to come. He is sure that the books will change, that the 
 sciences will change, that new studies will be developed, that new methods 
 of interpretation will be discovered, that new kingdoms of the infinite know- 
 ledge are to be opened to the discerning eye of man, in the years that are to 
 come. He knows it is impossible for any man to say what will be taught in 
 these halls a hundred years hence ; but yet, with that unknown development 
 he is in deep sympathy, because he knows that the boys of a hundred years 
 hence, like the boys of to-day, will be taught here to be faithful to the deep 
 purposes of knowledge, will be trained to conscientious study, to the love 
 of knowledge, to justice and generosity, to respect for themselves, and 
 obedience to authority, and honor for man, and reverence for God. That is 
 the link between the School-house that stood behind the King''s ChajDel and 
 this ; and that is the only thing that in the years to come will make these 
 schools tinily the same schools that they are to-day. 
 
 When the Duke of Wellington came back to Eton, after his glorious cai-eer, 
 as he was walking through the old quadrangle, he looked around and said, 
 
122 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 " Here is where I learned the lessons that made it possible for me to conquer 
 :it Waterloo." It was not what he had read there in books, not what he had 
 learned there by writing Greek verses, or by scanning the lines of Virgil or 
 Horace, that helped him win his gi'eat battle ; but there he had h-amed to bu 
 faithful to present duty, to bo strong, to be diligent, to be jjatient ; and that 
 was why he was able to say, tliat it was what he had learned at Eton that 
 had made it possible for him to concjuer at Waterloo. 
 
 And the same thing made it possible for the Latin and High School boys 
 to helj) win the victory which came at Gettysburg, and under tlie very walls 
 of Richmond. It was the lessons whicli they had learned here. It was not 
 simply the lessons which they had learned out of books ; it was the gi-an<l 
 imprint of character that had been given to them here. Tlie Mohammedan 
 says, " The ink of the learned is as precious as the blood of the martjTS."' 
 Our English High School and our Latin School have had " the ink of the 
 learned*' and " the blood of tlie martyrs" too. They have sent forth young 
 men who have added to tlie world's wisdom and to its vast dissemination ; 
 they have sent foi-th yoimg men who have laid down their lives that the 
 country might be perpetual, and tliat slavery might die. 
 
 I have always remembered, — it seemed but a passing impression at the 
 moment, but it has never left me, — how one day, when I was going home 
 from the old Adams School, in ]Mason Street, I saw a little group of people 
 gathered down in Be<lford Street ; and, with a boy's curiosity, I went mto 
 the crowd, and peeped around among the big men Avho were in my way to 
 see what they were doing. I found that tliey were laying the corner-stone 
 of a new School-house. I always felt, after tliat, when I was a scholar and 
 a teacher there, and ever since, tliat I had a little more right in that School- 
 house, because I had happened, by tliat accident of passing home that way 
 that day from school, to see its corner-stone laid. I wish tliat eveiy boy in 
 the Latin School and High School, and every boy in Boston, who is old 
 enouo'h to be here, who is ever going to be in these schools, could be here 
 to-day. I hope they will hear, in some way or otlier, through the echoes 
 that will reach them from this audience, with what solemn and devout 
 feeling we have here consecrated tliis building to tlie purposes which the old 
 building so nobly served, and in tlie serving of which it became so di-ar to us 
 all ; to the preservation of sound learning, the cultivation of manly character, 
 and the faithful service of tlie dear country, in whatever untold exigencies 
 there may be in the yeai-s to come, in which she will demand the service of 
 her sons. 
 
 The Chairman.— The Latin School Association, as many of you know, is 
 an organization of the graduates of tliat great School, formed for the purjioso 
 of kccjiing up early associations and for bringing tlu-ir inlliiciice to bear for 
 the good of the School itself. It has contributed liberally to the excellent 
 library of tlio Latin School, and to its collections of works of art, and in 
 various other ways has been of infinite service. The committee fully 
 appreciate the influence of this Association, and desire most cordially to co- 
 operate with it in every i)r:ictir'able way. I have the honor to introduce to 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. 123 
 
 you the President of the Latin School Association, Mr. Charles K. 
 
 DiLLAAVAY. 
 
 ADDRESS OF CHARLES K. DLLLAWAT, ESQ., PRESIDENT OF THE LATIN SCHOOL 
 
 ASSOCIATION. 
 
 Mr. Chairman: — One of the historians of Massachusetts said, "From 
 small beginnings great things have been produced, and as one small candle 
 may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone to many, yea, in 
 some sort to our whole nation." He must have had our Latin School in his 
 mind when he said that. Its origin Avas simple and unpretending; its 
 advantages as an educational institution hardly above those of a village 
 school of the f)resent time ; and yet what a burning and shining light it has 
 become! For more than two centuries it has been training men for our 
 national councils, for the halls of justice, for the professions, and for every 
 important occupation of life. 
 
 Merely to name those of our graduates who have contributed to the good 
 government of our country, to its literature, to the arts and sciences, and the 
 education of the people, would take more time than I have any right to use. 
 Let me speak only of those who are at this time in important and responsible 
 positions. 
 
 In the Cabinet at Washington there are two of our graduates ; and Presi- 
 dent Hayes Avill tell you, sir, that among his wisest and most trusty 
 coimsellors are William M. Evarts and Charles Devens. 
 
 Our School has furnished many of the Governors of Massachusetts ; — we 
 claim His Excellency the present Chief Magistrate, whom the verdict of the 
 people has so emphatically declared to be the right man in the right place. 
 
 Four of our graduates have been Presidents of Harvard University ; — we 
 claim the present distinguished head of that institution ; and every friend of 
 old Harvard will bear witness to the vigor and success of his administi'ation. 
 
 Boston has come to us for many of its chief Magistrates ; — we claim His 
 Honor, the present INIayor, whose great popularity has been shown by 
 repeated elections. Let me take this opportunity, sir, to thank him in behalf 
 of the Latin School Association for the encouragement and efficient aid he 
 has given to the erection of the building we are dedicating, from its com- 
 mencement to the successful end. It was commenced during the first j'ear 
 of his administration, and has had the great benefit of his official influence 
 during the whole process of its erection. Lideed, sir, I veiy much fear 
 that without that influence, so faithfully used, we should not be dedicating 
 this building to-day. It is more than probable that our boys would still be 
 occupying the gloomy, sunless, comfortless rooms in Bedford Street. 
 
 We cannot speak too highly in praise of the new builduig now given to us. 
 Om- teachers, who have had abundant opportunities to test its qualities, are 
 unanimous in their opinion that it answers most satisfactorily all the pur- 
 poses for which it was erected. In the important matter of ventilation, 
 wherein our city architects in times past have been more distinguished for 
 their failures than for their successes, this building is believed to be one of 
 
the best in the city. Of course wc hear outside criticisms, coming generally 
 from those who have seen only the outside of the building. Some of these 
 complain that it has cost too much. Is there any novelty in that, sir? "V\lien 
 did we ever erect a public building in our good city of Boston which did 
 not cost more than we expected? Now, Mr. Chairman, as we have just 
 such a buildmg as we wanted, an ornament to our city and substantial 
 enough to last for centuries, it is of very little consequence if the cost has 
 been beyond our estunates. 
 
 Some say it is too large ; we shall never fill it. Did we ever erect a 
 school-house without hearing the same cry? And did we ever fail to fill any 
 one Ave erected ? When the Sherwin School-house was built, some of the 
 wise men of that day prophesied that no member of tlie School Board would 
 live to see it filled. In less than three years it was full to ovei-flowing; 
 ever}^ seat was occupied, and the boys, like Oliver Twist, were asking for 
 more. Tlie building the city has now given us, we believe to be none too 
 large. In due time we .shall fill it. All precedents show that our Boston 
 boys, among their oUier good qualities, have that of multiplying with mar- 
 vellous rapidity. But I must take no more time, sir, as tliere are many 
 gentlemen around me whom we are all wishing to hear. 
 
 The Chairman. — I have a letter from the Secretary of State, the Hon. 
 William IM. Evarts, regretting his inability to be present on this occasion. 
 I have also one from the Attorney General of the United States, which I will 
 read : — 
 
 Dbpabtment of Justice, 
 
 Washington, Jau. 24, 1881. 
 
 Mt Dear Sir, — I am very much obliged for the iuvitalion to attoiul the dedication of 
 the new buUdinjj for the u^e of the Publie Latin and English High Schools. 
 
 These two Schools have been of the highest advantage to the City of Boston in the 
 development of the men who date back to them their early education ; and I should be 
 vcrj- glad, at a dedication which brings these two sisters of learning under the roof of a 
 common home, to be present. 
 
 My official engagements at the close of the Presidential term will be too onerous for me 
 to leave them. I can only send to the graduates who will assemble upon the occasion my 
 most hearty and sincere good wishes, and my hope that the Schools will continue to confer 
 benefits in the future such a^ they have dispensed in the past. 
 
 Your obedient sei^vant, 
 
 CHARLES DEVENS.

 Addresses followed from the Rev. RonERT C. Water.son, Presi- 
 dent of tlie English High School Association, Mr. IIknrv P. 
 Kidder, and the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Edwin P. Seaver. 
 
 The CiiAiKMAN. — Ladies and Qcntlemcn: I had been depending uj)on our 
 friend, tin- Rev. Edward Everett Hale, to say a word lus the champion of 
 military drill ; but he was obliged to be in New York to-»lay. and so was 
 
President Eliot, of Harvard College. We are fortunate, however, in having 
 ■with us the distinguished Chairman of the Committee on Education, of the 
 Legislature, and I am sure he can add a word upon that subject which will 
 touch a very tender chord in the hearts of our boys. I have the honor to in- 
 troduce to you Col. T. W. HiGGiNSON. 
 
 ADDRESS OP COL. THOMAS WENT WORTH HKJOINSON. 
 
 Mr. Chairman : — I was so fortunate once in my life as to make a short 
 speech. I never did it but once ; but the consequence of that is, that I always 
 find myself kept to the end of every entertauiment in hopes that I shall make 
 another. I will try it once more. 
 
 There is no man in whose place I should less want to stand, and more 
 especially here, than the Rev. Edward Everett Hale, for he has this 
 peculiarity about him, that he always was and always will be a Boston boy 
 of the Boston boys. He is still young, and if he lives to be ninety, — which 
 Heaven grant ! — he will be younger then than he is to-day, which is saying 
 a great deal. 
 
 In regard to the point which he was to speak of, I cannot so properly 
 speak of that here as he could, because I do not belong to that privileged 
 class. There are two classes in the world, you know : those that were born 
 in Boston and are patrician, and do not need to be born again, and those 
 that were born somewhere else. I was not born in Boston, and I wish here 
 humbly to apologise for that early mistake. I was not born in Boston, I 
 never shall have been born in Boston, until they annex Cambridge to Boston, 
 and then I shall only have been born there retrospectively. Therefore, my 
 only claim to be here, and the only groimd on which anybody can listen to 
 me to-day is, that it did happen to me, not long ago, beneath a certain gilded 
 dome in Boston, to stand by certain Boston boys when they wanted a friend. 
 That is all there is about it. I will tell them and you, that, after all, I do 
 not know that anybody else could have saved them on that occasion if it had 
 not been for the promptness and efficiency with which they stood by them- 
 selves. "SMien that jDetition, signed by three hundred and fifty boys of the 
 English High School, was brought into the lobby of the State House by a 
 young gentleman with one of the very straightest backbones that even 
 military drill ever gave, and when a corresponding petition came up from 
 the Latin School, borne by a young gentleman similarly adorned, why, it 
 carried the day. There was no resisting it. Everything yielded before it. 
 Let me tell you, young men, that nobody in legislative halls, or beneath the 
 gilded dome, not even the Governor himself, can resist the voters of the 
 future. They are a veiy important constituency for anybody who expects 
 to be the President of the United States, — and up there we all do, every one 
 of us, — altliough there is nobody, except His Excellency tlie Governor, who, 
 if the whole truth were told, has much chance of it. Tlierefore, I say, I 
 think well of the drill of the Boston High School battalion, and of the effect 
 of military discipline, from the circumstance that they made their advance 
 
upon the State Houso in such military style, and eaptiued it so completely. 
 The thing was essentially done from the moment thoy came th«^re. The 
 stoutest opponents of the bill concluded that there was nothing in military 
 drill that was so objectionable, after all, and decided that all they were afraid 
 of Avas that there might be some exti'a teachers employed to teach dancing 
 at the public expense. 
 
 Thus tAAice in history has the i^rowess of Boston boys been vindicated. A 
 hundred years ago they went to General Gage and a.sked for leave to coast 
 upon the Common.* This year tliey went to the ruling powers and asked that 
 this drill-hall might not be converted into a hall witliout any drill ; and 
 history will one day record that they succeeded in both their undertakings. 
 
 The Chairman.— Many of the graduates of the English High are also 
 graduates of the Latin Seliool. They may have a divided affection, but each 
 School can fairly claim them as its children, and will always chcrisli a just 
 pride in their honorable achievements as if they were the outgro-wth of its 
 ovni inspiration. We have with u'? a conspicuous example in Mr. Thomas 
 Gaffield, who can define his i)osition. 
 
 ADDRESS OF THOMAS GAFFIELD, ESQ. 
 
 Mr. Chairman : — It is my good fortune to call myself an old pupil of both 
 of the Schools whose second happy union under the same roof we celebrate 
 to-day ; and I cherish pleasant memories of blasters Dillaway, Streeter, and 
 Gartbier of the Latin School, and of Masters ^liles and Shenvin of tlie 
 English High. 
 
 The remainder of Mr. Gaffield's address was more ])articularly 
 devoted to his reminiscences of the English High School. 
 
 The One Hundredtli Psalm was then sung, and a benediction Avas 
 pronounced by tlie Rev. George A. Thayer : — 
 
 As God was with our fathers may He be with us and our children !t 
 Mav He liless our work and crown our days ! Amen. 
 
 The Latin School has done its part to strengthen the argument of 
 those who claim that the influence of classical studies is to inspire a 
 generous patriotism. Many of its scholars were distinguished in the 
 earlier conflicts of the nation, both military and civil. 
 
 Some, no doubt led by the jirincipU'S and example of Master 
 Lovell, adliered to the mother-country, and left names to be inscribed 
 in the annals of American loyalists. Others, influenced i)robably l)y 
 the teachings of his son, read more correctly the signs of the times,

and took tlieir places among the Sons of Liberty. The first name 
 ujjon the Declaration of Independence, in the large, free hand so 
 familiar to us, is that of a Latin School boy ; and below it are those 
 of four more* who received their early instruction from the same 
 source. In later days, during the "War of the Rebellion, the Latin 
 School boys proved that 
 
 ''Dulce et deconim est pro patria mori;" 
 
 for two hundred and seventy-six, of whom fifty gave up their lives, 
 filled posts in the military or naval forces of the Union, and gained 
 distinction for themselves and the School by their services. 
 
 The first object that meets the eye of the visitor, as he enters the 
 main door of the School House, is the statue erected by the grad- 
 uates of the School to honor those who had thus honored her, and 
 to commemorate those who fell in defending their country in the 
 War of the Rebellion. Elegant as a work of art and invaluable as 
 an inspiration, it serves as a daily reminder to the pupils, as impress- 
 ive as any lesson taught from their books, of the patriotism and de- 
 votion to duty which education should foster, and educated men 
 should cherish. It was the work of Richard S. Greenough, a Latin 
 School boy (of the year 1829), and represents Alma Mater as a beau- 
 tiful woman, resting her left arm on a shield which bears the names 
 of the dead, and extending in her right hand a laurel crown to 
 reward those who returned from tlie conflict. On marble tablets, 
 on either side of the entrance door, are the names of all the scholars 
 who served in the national forces, in any capacity, without losing 
 their lives.f 
 
 This statue originally stood in the large hall of the Bedford Street 
 School-house, where it was placed in the latter part of the year 1870. 
 As it was the first, and for some time after, the only memorial to 
 the sons of Boston who served in the war, it seemed 2:)roper that its 
 erection should be the occasion of a fitting tribute to those whose 
 labors and sacrifices it was designed to commemorate. The hall of 
 the School being too small to accommodate those who were entitled 
 and desirous to attend, the jDublic services of dedication were held 
 in the Boston Music Hall, early in December of that year. 
 
 The exercises of the occasion were a rej^ort of the committee, read 
 by Francis A. Osborn (of the year 1845), which was followed by an 
 English Ode by William Everett (of the year 1852) :—

ORATIOX BY THE HON. WILLIAM MAXWELL EVAKTS. 
 
 M?'. President, and Ladies and Oentlernen : — I received, some months ago, 
 the invitation of the Committee to take some part in the presentation of this 
 Memorial Statue to the gaze of the Boston people, a dedication of it to the 
 public service of tliis city, Avith miaffected pleasure. Although, by my birth- 
 right, I felt entitled to have a share in all the great industrial interests and 
 literatures, all that makes up the fame of this renowned city, yet I knew that 
 my own memories, and my own associations with Boston, were wholly con- 
 fined to my school daj-s and my school life ; and though I might have felt 
 that to participate in any other ceremonial of local interest was quite outside 
 of any propriety on my part, I could not deny that I was as much a Boston 
 school-boy as anybody could be. From the time that I was five years old at 
 the primary school, and then from seven to ten at the ward school, and then 
 onward till I went to college, I was a scliool-boy of Boston. All my active 
 life has been j)assed elsewhere, and if there has been anything in it wliich 
 induced your Committee to look with favor or approval upon it, and to 
 recognize my right to be counted in this festival of the school-boys of Boston, 
 it is to those schools, it is to the Latin School, that I acknowledge the obliga- 
 tion and proclaim my gratitude. Agreeable as was the invitation, I should 
 yet liave hesitated long before accepting it, had I not felt that the part 
 assigned to me was not one upon which in the least was dependent the 
 interest or the impression of the occasion ; that here and now, as elsewhere, 
 and at all times, on all occasions like this, it is the dead, who, being still 
 dead, yet speak, no matter by what voice of the living eulogist life shall be 
 given to their utterance ; and that his eloquence can never outspeak the 
 eloquence of commemorated lives. 
 
 I had supposed, Mr. President, that we should have really seen the actual 
 Statue and the tablets, and the porti-aits and the forms and benches of the 
 boys, so that we might have felt that the occasion \ha,t drew us together 
 was represented by what we saw about us, and that no j^art was needed ex- 
 cept to give some suggestive lead, perhaj^s to the considerations which had 
 made these lives memorable, and made the commemoration useful to the 
 community. Now it appears that the genius of one of our scholars, under 
 the inspiration of the Committee, has produced Avhat I am told is thus far 
 the only public monument to the memories of this war in this great cit}', and 
 which may remain so for an indefinite period. Certainly, it is complete 
 and satisfactory ; certainly, it appeals to the youth of the city in their daily 
 liaunts, and is to form a part of their education. The artist, with a touch 
 grave and solemn, a sense of the duty which we all feel, has jiroduced tliis 
 emblematic mother full of exultation at the glories of her sons, full of gi-ief 
 at their sacrifice, full of serene joy that other sons yet survive. 
 
 The shield is emblazoned with names that the citizens of Boston will never 
 let die. The legend of the patriot is the only legend that informs the 
 observer in what cause they fell, for what cause their names are thus j^re- 
 served, and why they stand separated from all the youth that ever graced 
 
132 
 
 PUBLIC LATIX SCHOOL. 
 
 this city, fixnn all the youth that have drawn tlieir knowledge from this 
 ancient School, — separated forever from the living and from tlie dead. It 
 is for me only, as simply and as briefly as may be, not to snggest to tliis 
 audience, but rather to recall, some of the principal traits in the great con- 
 flict, some of the princij^al traits in the lives and sacrifices of these young 
 men which have made them memoi-able, and some of the considerations 
 Avhieh induced this commemoration, and may promise useful fruits to the 
 present and future genei-ations, from this honor thus definitely i)aid tliem. 
 
 " Pro Patria" is the motto of those wlic have died for their country, and 
 for their whole country ; and yet this moiunuent is raised to men who fell in 
 a civil war. •* For the King or for the Commonwealth, for York or 
 Lancaster,'' is the j^raise of loyalty in civil war ; and yet the deaths in tliis 
 civil war that have been devoted to the Government and the safety of the 
 Republic, we may justly pronounce to be covered by the sacred name in 
 classic fame of " death for their countiy." How shall we paint tliis, and yet 
 not claim for them what should be denied in other civil stinfes ? It can only 
 be, from tlie nature of the conflict and fi'om the i)art they bore in it, that this 
 shall be claimed, now and forever, in the face of all men, as a monument to 
 men who died for tlieir country, as much as to those who at Bunker Hill 
 made the same sacrifice for their country. 
 
 Ten years ago, when the clouds were first rising in the jiolitical horizon 
 wliich presaged the immediate burst of war, to an observer wlio either was 
 not aware of tlie intense and vcliement moral causes that were at work in the 
 bosom of this nation, or who did not believe in moral causes as jjroducing 
 great conflicts, generally flowing from passion or from interest, nothing 
 seemed less rational, nothing seemed less probable, than that this nation 
 should be distracted or convulsed by Avar, foreign or civil ; to such a one 
 none of the ordaining motives that should throw a great, a prosperous, a 
 powerful peojile out of their triumphant pursuits were evident. 
 
 Marching ever onward in tlie procession of time, and in the face of all the 
 w^orld to greater and greater power of every kind, a nation rose out of tlieir 
 strong and happy jieace into the severities and hardshijis of war. Certamly, 
 no people were ever situated so as to be more secure against war contrary to 
 their will. Certainly, no peoiile were so little tempted to war ; the territory 
 rounded out, tlie population thriving, increasing, already vast, commerce 
 adding new wealth, all nations seeking favor rather than occasion of strife 
 with us, no neighbor whom we could fear, no neighbor tempting us to 
 aggi'ession, no neighbor tempted to encroach upon us, and at home, out- 
 living, as we liad supposed, all those clumsy and irrational methods of 
 contestation, that by violence and bloodshed undertook to settle people's 
 opinions against their will; with a condition of life where all were equal, 
 with no dynasties to create ambition or furnisli food for contests, with 
 every facility for argument and discussion and the suffrage, and frequent 
 recurring opi)ortunitie3 to take tlie sense of the nation, wiiich, onct> 
 expressed, implied the power, if need be, to enforce it. And yet, within 
 one year from that time, the forces were set against each otlier that showed 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. 138 
 
 gi-eater stren^h and ^^rcater courage, and more onergftio jjurpose, than had 
 ever attended a war among men. As it jirogressed, ever and more evident 
 was it that it was a struggle never to be ended till the great moral questions 
 of right against might, of equality against privilege, of justice among 
 men against power over them, were the issues to be settled by this death 
 struggle between immense and passionate forces. When this was seen, it 
 was felt that all the arguments against war for trade, against war for 
 ambition, against war for aggression, against war for hate, had disappeared, 
 and that war for duty and for safety were the highest obligations of a nation 
 that had a heiitage such as ours ; for, to a people with our origin, with our 
 discipline, with our future, that had fondly hopod that all tlie discords that 
 were bred within our collected population and our divided interests should 
 pass away under the influence of peaceful authority', it was at once proposed, 
 and in a tone not to be misunderstood, that we should meet an issue, and, 
 for the future, put up either with a corrupt Constitution that should per- 
 petuate the injustice and the shame of slavery, or a mutilated territory that 
 should divide and control the area and strength of freedom : and to the issue 
 thus presented, wliich to a great part of our nation at the outset seemed to 
 present the degree and form of choice open to us in this issue, statesmen and 
 orators, conspicuous leaders of public opinion, great masses of intelligent 
 and educated people, debated on the grounds and considerations, some 
 higher and some lower, of the discussion which of these alternatives it were 
 better that we should accept ! 
 
 But beneath all this, without distinction of party or past opinion, the well 
 trained intelligence of the American people at once spumed this election, 
 and determined that they Avould fight for and maintain the entire heritage 
 that they had received from their fathers ; that they -svould save the whole 
 country in everj- inch of its area, and the whole Constitution in everj' word 
 of its promise for the future. All that had made the progress of freedom, 
 and all that promised itself a security, was here put at issue against a 
 demand that liberty should stay its progi-ess or retire from a portion of 
 this continent ; and once understood, a conflict was marshalled which had 
 no other issue than the fate of human progress for the time. "When you 
 consider that, on so vast a scale of population, of territory, and of 
 power, and in a nation so far advanced in all the arts of peace, brought 
 to the furthest point of moral and religious and intellectual culture, this 
 issue was in this war, you cannot but feel that if we could separate 
 ourselves from that familiar knowledge of the actors in it, and of our 
 own participation in it, which breeds depreciation, if we could look at it 
 as the action of another nation, or read about it in other history, we should 
 pronounce this contest as the most direct, thorough, definite, and decisive 
 issue between the great piinciples of right and might that men could be 
 engaged to. 
 
 It was then, gentlemen and ladies, in such an issue, and lest they 
 should be robbed of such a country, that these men yielded their lives to the 
 stress of battle. Certainly, the contest was worthy of any degree of per- 
 
134 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 sonal heroism, aiid will support every amount of public commemoration of 
 those who took a useful :xnd honorable part in it. Now we have only to 
 see and to say wliat the i^art was that these young men, our townsmen, 
 our school-fellows, our playmates did, in fact, bear in tliis controversy. 
 "WTiat was the quality of thi'ir motives? "Wliat the nature and description of 
 their sacrifices ? ^Miat the intelligence, what tlie acceptance, with which they 
 met tliis issue ? In the first place, we see at once that this jjopulation from 
 wliich these young men proceeded was not exposed to any very near danger 
 or discomfort from the growing war. If Boston and Massachusetts could be 
 satisfied with security of Boston and ^lassachusetts, and be careless of the 
 rest of the country, or the fate of the question, Boston and ^Massachusetts 
 were very safe ; and these young men lived also in a community where the 
 whole course of reasoning and of sentiment had for more than a generation 
 discouraged war. An advance it was supposed had been made for our time 
 and for our people that should never recall to the unpracticed hands of 
 American youth tlie weapons of war. So, too, tliese young men, so far as I 
 have noticed in the narratives accessible to me of their lives, were all in- 
 dividually in circumstances where neither chance nor need carried tliem into 
 this conflict ; and they were of that past education and those formed habits of 
 mind that did not and could not urge them to this contest upon any other con- 
 siderations than those which their conscience ajiproved and their intelligence 
 accepted. When you find that of the youth of military age that had come 
 out fi'om tliis single Boston School, 287 served in this war, and when I 
 say to you that from the classes most readily furnishing or permitting the 
 material for military service, the classes from 1850 to 1855, in those six 
 classes, there was an average of twenty-tln*ee young men from each that 
 served in tliis war, and that from one single class, of 1852, there were forty- 
 three soldiers in this war, you must understand that there was some move- 
 ment among the youth, nurtured as tliese youth were, and in this City, 
 having its hold upon the best and most univt-rsal sentiment of the people, 
 and of true patriotism, that could have thus crowded tliem into the ranks of 
 our war. 
 
 I cannot discover tliat there were any of them tliat, eitlier by distinct voca- 
 tion or a particular devotion, had accustomed tliemselves to the arts of war. 
 I cannot perceive that tlicre runs tlirough tlie narratives and tlie records that 
 they tliemselves furnished of tlieir lives, their conduct, and their motives, the 
 least touch of the love of glory, tlie least desire to exchange the fair promise 
 of peaceful service to the State for this new scene of action. I c:uinot say 
 that as the war grew upon them, and tlieir young fames flowered in the 
 admiration of their country, that to the last battle day of any one of them 
 there was the least introduction of self into the .'^ceiie and into the scheino of 
 their action. I must, then, feel that these young men, canii'd neither by 
 chance nor by interest, accustomed by no education and no experieneo to any 
 of tie toils, nor hardened to tlio dangers of the strife, who thus caiuo and 
 bore their part in tliis contest, are in your judgment, in tlio judgment of 
 all tlieir friends, in tlie judgment of all the eouiitry, in the judgment of the

 future and of history, entitled to their personal participation in the great and 
 noble sentiments that urged on and earned through the great sti'uggle. 
 
 Whatever of glory the country at large may claim for its civilization, for 
 its sense of duty and for its fortitude, its courage and its triumph, these 
 yoimg men who have died in such a cause, and upon such motives, and 
 sacrificed their lives under such deliberate and persistent choice that they 
 would brave death rather than submit to degrading and retrogressive ten- 
 dencies in the age and counti-y in which they lived, in the largest possible 
 measure, either by fortune or by princii^le, for their recompense, shall be 
 among the foremost of their countrymen in the memory of this and of future 
 times. It was not because they did not appreciate the pleasure of peace. 
 It was not because they did not appreciate the hardships of Avar. It was 
 not because they did not understand the perils of honor and did not know 
 the charms of ease. With all this knowledge they chose, and they gave 
 their lives to the choice. These men, these young men, these boys of the 
 Latin School, are entitled to the deepest homage of all their countiy. Max- 
 ima reverentia debetur pueris. 
 
 Now was the issue of this conflict worthy of the sacrifice, and were the 
 sentiments that urged it on, even at the great cost of war, justified by the 
 result ? Why, there are no suiferers from the result of this conflict ! There 
 was suff"ei-ing, plenty of suffering, by grief, by loss in this commimity, and 
 certainly diff'used throughout the land, rebel and loyal ; but I pi'opose to you, 
 fellow citizens, that as the result of this struggle there is no oppression, no 
 suff'ering, no loss, no harm anywhere throughout the world, but everything 
 is full of goodness. Wlien was it ever heard that the beaten party in a civil 
 war met nothing but amplification of right and freedom, exaltation in the 
 sphere, in the scale, and in the hope of future progi'ess ? How is it 
 with other nations ? There is no nation throughout the world wliich finds 
 in these our triumphs cause for fear to its hope or its safety, but every 
 nation throughout the globe finds and knows that we have fought the battle 
 of humanity, and that the rights and the hopes of men, all their personal, 
 their national, their complete and entire progress and development, have 
 been advanced by the results of this war. Certainly we may say, then, that 
 the issue has approved the action of this nation, and that when from other 
 wars there have come consequences and threats to peace and prosperity 
 somewhere, when the I'elative conditions of the beaten and the ti'iumphant 
 paities in the same nation have subjected one to the oppressions and the in- 
 sults of the other, when we can show as the results of this conflict nothing 
 but elevation, hope, and prosperity to come, we may feel entirely justified in 
 the ascription to moral causes of the whole responsibility for this conflict, 
 and they are entitled to reap the triumphant reward. 
 
 Now there remains only to consider whether, although the completed 
 round of origin and action and issue be wholly of this elevated and this 
 gratifying character, there may yet be included in the example or the in- 
 fluence for the future, some disturbance of tlie real moral basis on which we 
 proclaim and before this war felt our institutions rested, and on which they

 were to be perpetual aiid secure. I know there are some public orators, 
 some statesmen, i)erliai)s, who seeing this nation thus inllamed In" war, ami 
 its immense energies thus disi^layed, its great triumph and the gi'eat fame 
 tliat have attended it, tliink that a military si)irit has been implanted in 
 the bosom of the jjeople that will find in questions of policy and of interest, 
 in covetous ambition, and in the disposition to regulate the elections, a 
 preference for Avar over peace. But be sure that a war, such as we linow 
 our civil war to have been, is the severest, the most earnest, and the most 
 intelligible les.son which a people ever had occasion to learn, that in the 
 language of Scripture, "Wisdom is better than weapons of war.'' For a 
 nation to espouse the cause of liberty and justice at the cost of war, is a veiy 
 different thing from a nation's disposition to esjjouse the war at the cost of 
 liberty and justice ; and by the same schooling that has made us ready to re- 
 peat, if need be, every measure of past sacrilice for gi'cat moral purposes in 
 the good of our nation and of the world, we have leai'ned that war /or war 
 is neitlier fanciful nor political, but involves sufferings which are only justi- 
 fied by the degree and firmness of the virtue on which tliey rest. 
 
 Now of the iofluence of this memorial sUvtue, and tliis i)erpetuated ex- 
 ample of the youth of this School upon the School itself of the future 
 generation. As this nation cannot be the same nation it would have been 
 without tlie war, much less the same nation it would be if it had shnink 
 from the war, so tliis School for the future generations of its scholar's never 
 shall ha merely the same School that it Avas when you and I, gentlemen, were 
 its scholars. 
 
 "We had no nearer lessons of patriotism and of virtue within its walls than 
 those which we read from Greek and Roman history. But now tliere is no 
 boy that enters its doors, who does not, in the daily contemijlation of tlie 
 bright names of these fifty-one young Latin Scholars, blazoned on the shield, 
 draw in the iniluences that open the mind to gi-eat sentiments, and gain at 
 the same time an inspiration that no history can surpass by any of its exam- 
 ples. An education like that, worthily bestowed and worthily accepted, nei- 
 ther softens the manners nor the mind, so but tliat at tlie call of duty and of 
 country these boys are to be as gi'cat heroes as tlie world ever saw. No 
 greater inspiration for good can be drawn from the memoiy of WaiTen and 
 Prcscott than these boys are to draw from the sight of tins escutcheon of 
 glory and esteem. They are to learn tiiis to be sure, that as the common 
 phrase goes, peace having its victories as well as war, peace, too, Ikis its 
 disasters, its duties, its sacrifices, its burdens, its losses ; and they are to have 
 but a puny heroism if they reserve for themselves the oldigation of ful- 
 filling the call to duty for the country and for the good of men only to future 
 occasions of the battlefield, lint as every greater ini-ludes tlie less, so in the 
 gi-eat confiicts which no man can tell how near they may be, for right against 
 might, for duty and honor against fraud, temptation, and bribes, the youtli 
 of Boston, the youtli of the Latin School, the youth througliout the land, 
 must be ready to perform tiuir siiaic in tlie contest at an early and a later 
 day, and forever. 
 
HISTOKICAL SKETCH. 137 
 
 Vigilance, enemies, dangers, are a part of the duty and tlie circumstances 
 of peace as well as of war, and these youth are to be taught that they are 
 never to save life, or make it liappy or prosperous or easy, at the expense, in 
 whatever form the danger comes, of what makes life valuable and useful ; 
 that no boy or man can justify himself to his conscience, or in the approval 
 of his fellows, propter vitmn vivetuli perdere causas. 
 
 Now, gentlemen and ladies, this monument, this emblematic statue, these 
 tablets, are henceforth to be a perpetual possession of the School and of the 
 City. This sacred institution of learning in the land has not failed to secure 
 its whole proportion of the praises that belong to the educated and disciplined 
 talents that have borne their share in this war. We, you, will cherish their 
 memories ever. Must we not feel that in the presence of these just monu- 
 ments to honest fame, the safety and the prosperity of our countr}' and its 
 fi'eedom are ever secure ? 
 
 The services were closed by the singing of a Requiem, the words of 
 which were by the Hon. George Lunt, and the music by Charles 
 Lemuel Capen (of the year 1863). 
 
 In 1822, as appears from the records of the School Committee, a 
 gentleman of Boston, who was afterwards known to have been the 
 Honorable James Lloyd (of our year 1776), offered a gold medal of 
 the value of fifty dollars, to be given in the year 1823 in the Latin 
 School, and the same in the English Classical School, " to the best 
 scholar" in the School, whose conduct and deijortment during the 
 year preceding shall have been such as to have evinced diligence in 
 his studies, respect to his instructors, and urbanity toward his asso- 
 ciates, and repeated the offer the ensuing year. The conditions of 
 the award will be found in the letter of Mr. Lloyd in the Appendix.* 
 In the year 1823 this medal was given to Thomas Kemper Davis,t 
 and in 1824 to George Stillman Hillard. 
 
 In 1854 Hon. Abbott Lawrence gave a sum of money, of which the 
 interest is distributed in prizes for the general encouragement of the 
 scholars. There is another fund contributed by pupils, and the 
 fathers of pupils, for a similar purpose. These prizes, and the 
 Franklin medals, t the "gift of Franklin," are given for general schol- 
 arship and good conduct, or for specified performances. The prizes 
 are announced at the annual exhibition or prize declamation in May, 
 and given to those who won them, at the annual Visitation by the 
 
 * See Appendix P. 
 
 tThis medal, a full description of which will be found in the American Journal of 
 Numismatics for April, 1877, vol. xi. p. 88, is now iu the possession of the Boston Latin 
 School Association. J See Appendix Q.

 committee at the close of tlie School year, M'hen the medals are 
 awarded. After Dr. Gardner's death, some of his former pupils 
 residing in New York, subscribed a sum of money for two prizes, one 
 to be given for an essay in English literature, and the other for one 
 in natural science, and to be called the " Gardner prizes." These 
 were awarded for two years, and then temporarily discontinued. 
 Subsequently the money was placed in the hands of the Latin School 
 Association, where it will remain until by additions and accumula- 
 tions it has reached a sufficient sum to provide for the annual bestow- 
 ment of one or more prizes. The late Hon. Elias Hasket Derby of 
 Boston left by will a sura for medals for certain literary perform- 
 ances, the first of which will probably be awarded soon. 
 
 In 1877 an attempt was made to open the School for the admission 
 of girls,* and several hearings were given by the School Committee 
 to the petitioners and remonstrants. The decision was adverse to 
 the petitioners, but as a result a separate school for girls, with a 
 course similar to that followed in this, was subsequently established, 
 and called the Girls' Latin School. 
 
 In 1844 the Boston Latin School Association, to which all who 
 have ever been Masters or pupils in the School are eligible, was 
 formed to promote interest in it, and provide for its library. It 
 "constantly," says the School Committee in one of its reports, 
 " keeps in view the good of the School, from year to year adds to 
 the attractions displayed in the rooms and to the number of choice 
 volumes in the classical library." Its library in the School building, 
 for the use of Masters and pupils, contains "one of the choicest 
 collections of classical works in the country, — the editions being the 
 most desirable, and the books of reference the rarest and most 
 valuable." 
 
 Master Gardner was indefatigable in adding to its treasures ; and 
 as stated by Dr. Dimmock in his memorial address, it was largely 
 by his personal exertions that "the Latin School accjuired jiroba- 
 bly the largest collection of pictorial and other illustrations of Roman 
 and Grecian topography and anticpiities possessed by any institution 
 in the country ; comprising paintings, rare and old engravings, 
 models in cork, casts from the antique, the best foreign mural maps 
 and plans, casts of medals, antique coins, sjtecimens of marbles from 
 
 * Soo Appendix R. 
 
HISTOBICAL SKETCH. 139 
 
 ancient ruins, and hundreds of photographs of Italian and Athenian 
 views, and of statuary." 
 
 To further stimulate an esprit du corps among the pupils, as well 
 as to foster public interest in the School, the Association a few years 
 ago established the practice of having a public dinner in the city of 
 Boston. The first occurred on what was supposed to be the one- 
 hundredth anniversary of the re-opening of the School, after Master 
 Lovell closed it with his memorable speech on the morning of Con- 
 cord fight. It was presided over by the Rev. Edward Everett Hale, 
 and proved a brilliant occasion. Its successors, presided over by the 
 Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, President Charles W. Eliot, the Rev. 
 James Freeman Clarke, D. D., the Hon. Henry K. Oliver, Mr. Robert 
 S. Rantoul, and William Everett, Ph. D., Master of Adams Academy, 
 have proved equally so, and the dinner of the Latin School Associa- 
 tion may now be fairly considered an established Boston notion. 
 
 Thus constantly manifesting its interest in the School, and seeking 
 to promote its welfare, the Association has given ample assurance 
 that if the time ever comes, of which President Eliot of Harvard 
 University hopefully spoke in his speech as chairman at the dinner 
 of the Association in 1878, when those who have been its pupils shall 
 have some voice and share in the government of the School, they 
 may be depended upon zealously to maintain its prestige unimpaired, 
 to keep its glories untarnished, to augment its efficiency, and add to 
 its renown.

PREFACE TO THE EDITION^ OF 1847. 
 
 o>»4tx— 
 
 The " Boston Latin School Association " was organized in the 
 summer of 1844. At its first meeting, and at each subsequent 
 annual meeting, it has appointed a committee " to collect materi- 
 als for a Catalogue and history of the School." In accordance 
 with a vote of the Association, directing the committee to pubhsh 
 the materials now in their hands for a Catalogue of the past mem- 
 bers of the School, this volume is now published. 
 
 It will be seen at once that it is very incomplete. For some 
 periods it is much more full than for others ; but the lapse of 
 time since the establishment of the School leaves large omissions, 
 many of which can never be filled. 
 
 But the Association have hoped, that, by putting to press the 
 various materials already collected for this Catalogue, it may 
 induce gentlemen, who can make additions to the facts here 
 stated, to furnish such materials, to be published in a second 
 edition. This volume, therefore, is offered to those interested in 
 the School, in the simple hope that their joint efforts may result 
 in future in a more complete Catalogue. 
 
 For the earlier period of the School's history, the list of mas- 
 ters is more perfect than that of scholars. It is almost wholly 
 compiled from the town records. The list of ushers before 1757 
 is probably deficient in many names. 
 
 The list of scholars has been derived from very various sources. 
 It has been thought best, therefore, to divide it into chapters, 
 that these several sources might be the more precisely designated. 
 
 For the century before Master Lovell, we have no means of 
 ascertaining the names of pupils, excepting the authority of 
 printed biographies of different individuals, and, in some instances, 
 unpublished manuscripts. The few names which are inserted 
 here for that century are those of persons who were unquestion- 
 ably educated at our School. It has been deemed best to insert 
 in a note the names of others, whom, without absolute certainty, 
 we have reason to suppose to be of the number of the pupils of 
 the School. The attention of antiquarians is particularly called 
 to this list. 
 
 The catalogue which was kept of boys admitted through the 
 whole of John Lovell's mastership, from 1734 to 1774, excepting

 the last year, is in the possession of tlie Association, in manu- 
 script, in the handwriting of James Lovell, for many years usher 
 under his father. This document is complete, but, unfortunately, 
 the surnames only of most of the scholars are stated in it. It is 
 here published without change, excepting that, in some instances, 
 the committee have added the Christian name to the surname, 
 where this designation of the individual is sustained on good 
 authority. Where there was any room for doubt, they have in 
 no case entered any Christian name, leaving it for future investi- 
 gation to complete this part of the Catalogue.* 
 
 Mr. James Lovell had not entered in the manuscript catalogue 
 the names of the boys who entered the School in the last year of 
 his father's administration. With the exception, therefore, of a 
 few names supplied by the memory of persons now living, the 
 class of 1774 is not recorded in these list^. 
 
 Mr. Hunt's catalogue of the boys who entered the School 
 during his time, between 1776 and 1805, is unfortunately lost. 
 His manuscript returns to the School Committee of the boys in 
 
 * In most instances, this addition is made from the notes of Kev. Dr. Homer, 
 of Newton, of our class of 1766. In 1817. or before that time, he made a copy, 
 now in tlie possession of the committee, of Lovell's manuscript catalogue. In 
 that copy he added the Christian names of several persons, and from his 
 manuscript tlie Christian names of the following scholars liave been taken, for 
 which we liave no other authority : — Peter Johonnot. Caleb Blanchard, 1738: 
 William Tidmarshi 1744; William Gray, Thomas Fitch, Stephen Salisbury, 
 Henry Fletcher, Thomas Whiting, Eobert Williams, Nathaniel Waterhouse, 
 Jonathan Mitchel Sewall, Stephen Sewall.1755; William Sanford Oliver, Josiah 
 Waters, Jolin Gore, Samuel Pitts, William Story, James Walker. Charles Jarvis.

 Cooper, William Coffin, William Pliilip^, William Tvler, Thomas Melvil, Joseph 
 Hubbard, William Lewis, Wanl Ilallowell, Henry Pelham, Edward Gray. 1758; 
 Thomas Carues, 1702; Samuel Torrey, William Newman, 1765; Thomas Hulme,

 Cobb, Samuel Cobb, William Croswell, Thomas Amory, Martin Gay. Robert 
 Pierpont, Fitcli Pool, Benjamin Homer, 1768; Nathaniel Taylor, Jonathan Perry 
 Collin, William Coffin, 176'.*; Nathan Frazier. 1773. 
 
 Dr. Homer was nearly contemporary with almost all these persons, and must 
 have been at school with most of them. It seemed advisable, therefore, to 
 insert their whole names as he has givon them, with this note, showing where 
 he has added anything to the contemporary manuscript of Lovell. In a few 
 instances the committee have detected errors in liis memoranda, and have, of 
 course, then rejected them; but they trust that those here inserted may be 
 relied upon. 
 
 On other authorities, which are supposed to be beyond doubt, the Christian 
 names have been added in the cases of Richard Checkley. 1734; James Allen,

PREFACE. 
 
 the School in 1789, 1790, 1794, are extant, and are here published. 
 Our only other sources for lists of his pupils are one or two of 
 Mr. Carter's returns of the "Latin boys" who went to his 
 writing school, and the recollections of different gentlemen now 
 or recently living, who were under his care. To these recollec- 
 tions, as will be seen, we are largely indebted. But it has 
 proved impossible to reconcile them perfectly with each other, 
 or to compile from them lists approaching the completeness of 
 contemporary catalogues. It is particularly difiQcult to give the 
 precise dates to names thus collected. 
 
 There is a manuscript list, drawn up in May 12, 1808, of the 
 boys at that time in the School. Excepting this, there is no con- 
 temporary record of names in Mr. William Biglow's adminis- 
 tration, from 1805 to 1814. We have supplied the deficiency 
 as far as possible from the recollections of gentlemen who 
 have favored us with communications. The period for which we 
 have relied mainly on such communications, from 1774 to 1814, 
 is comprehended in Chapter III. Mr. Gould's and Mr. Leverett's 
 j)rinted catalogues, from 1819 to 1829 inclusive, are in the 
 possession of the Association, and are reprinted below. 
 
 From 1816 to the present time the School records show the 
 names of all those fitted for college in the School. 
 
 From 1831 to 1835, catalogues were printed by Mr. Dillaway. 
 The School records from 1831 to the present time are complete. 
 
 Chapter IV. extends from 1815 to 1836. From 1774 to 1836 
 we have attempted to place scholars' names in those classes with 
 which, through most of their course, they were connected. But 
 the frequency of promotions, and of the reorganization of classes 
 and divisions, of course makes such an arrangement difficult. 
 Gentlemen will remember that they were, at different times of 
 their school course, connected with different schoolmates, and 
 thus may find their names separated here from those whom they 
 most frequently recollect as their classmates. It will be remem- 
 bered, too, that two divisions of the sam.e class may have been 
 widely separated at school, while, of course, their members are

 Chapter V., beginning in 1836, when Mr. Dixwell took charge 
 of the School, is printed simply from the School registers, 
 stating the year of entrance of each scholar. Of course those 
 who completed the course in less than five years are named with 
 others, who, though entering with them, left the School after 
 them. 
 
 From what has been said, it will be seen that the principal 
 deficiencies in this edition of this catalogue are the very great 
 one from 1635 - 1734, the unfortunate omission of Christian 
 names in Mr. James Lovell's catalogue, and the omissions, for 
 
yi PREFACE. 
 
 want of further materials, of names between 1774 and 1819. It 
 is possible that some names are missing from the classes of 1829 
 and 1830. 
 
 No one can regret such deficiencies more than the Historical 
 Committee. Under direction of the Association they publish 
 this volume, with the consciousness that it is thus defective, 
 earnestly requesting those who can add any thing to its com- 
 pleteness to send them every suggestion for improving it in 
 future. Gentlemen are now living connected with, or descended 
 from, Benjamin Tompson, Ezekiel Cheever, Dr. Natlianiel 
 Williams, Edward Wigglesworth, Jeremiah Gridley, and Daniel 
 Henchman, Masters in our School in the first century of its 
 existence. We are not without hopes, therefore, of some 
 additions of interest to the first chapter of this Catalogue. 
 
 It is certain that future labor will make many additions to the 
 subsequent chapters. 
 
 We append to the list of our Masters such a list as we can 
 make of the Masters of the North Grammar School, instituted in 
 1713, and with sundry interruptions continued tQl 1789, when its 
 pupils were transferred to the South Latin School. 
 
 It is difficult for the committee to acknowledge all the favors 
 which they have received in the collection of the materials for a 
 catalogue here published. The late Judge Davis presented to 
 the Association the Lovell manuscript alluded to above. It was 
 given to him more than thirty years since by Mr. James S. Lovell, 
 son of Mr. James Lovell, its author. Judge Davis was kind 
 enough, in the winter of 1845, to make a complete and accurate 
 copy of it for the Association, which was enriched by valuable 
 notes of his own. He also gave to the Association the only cata- 
 logue extant of the boys in ]Mr. Biglow's time. 
 
 We are indebted to Mr. William Bentley Fowle for the use of 
 the valuable copy of the Lovell catalogue made by Dr. Homer, 
 and for other notes of interest. 
 
 It will be seen that Mr. Gould's history of the School, and 
 Snow's history of the town, have been resorted to in the arrange- 
 ment of the list of Masters. 
 
 The committee must also express their obligation to the City 
 Clerk, Mr. McCleary ; the City Treasurer, Mr. Dunn ; to Mr. 
 Haven, Librarian of the Antiquarian Society, Worcester ; Dr. 
 Harris and Mr. Sibley, of the College Library, and Mr. Felt, of 
 the Historical Library, for the use of volumes and manuscripts 
 under their charge. They have been largely indebted, also, to 
 Hon. Harrison Gray Otis, to the late Rev. Dr. Thomas Gray, the 
 late Samuel H. Hewes, Esq. ; t<i Joseph Sewall, Esq., Rev. T. C. 
 Thacher, Samuel Payson, Esq., Hon. Charles Jackson, Dr. James 
 Jackson, Thomas Walley, Esq., H. Roby, Esq., Robert Lash, 
 
Esq., Rev. Ezekiel Cheever, of Williamsburg, Mass., Frederic 
 Tudor, Esq., Hon. Isaac P. Davis, Dr. John C. Warren, George 
 Bass, Esq., Hon. Richard Sullivan, Rev. Dr. Parkman, Rev. Dr.

 lish, Esq., Thomas B. Curtis, Esq., Mr. Edward Tuckerman, Mr. 
 William T. Harris, Rev. J. F. W. Ware, William W. Greenough, 
 Esq., Mr. William J. Delano, Mr. Alexander H. Everett, jr., Mr. 
 Erastus C. Pease, Messrs. Metcalf & Co. ; to Mrs. Fannie Hunt, 
 Mrs. Tompson of Portsmouth, N. H., and to other persons who 
 will find the information furnished in their kind communications 
 embodied in the following pages. 
 
 The Association's committee on the History of the School in 
 1844, consisted of B. A. Gould, William Wells, S. J. Bridge, 
 John C. Park, Charles K. Dillaway, E. S. Dixwell, Francis 
 Gardner, and Edward E. Hale. In 1845, 1846 and 1847, of most 
 of the same gentlemen, with the addition of Rev. Messrs. Young 
 and Ellis, and of Messrs. Joseph Hussey and Thomas Farrington. 
 
 The date given to a class is always that when it joined the 
 School. 
 
 The memoranda of titles and the dates of deaths are inserted 
 in a few instances, without any effort for completeness. 
 
 Where a literary degree is affixed to any name, it is one given 
 by our University at Cambridge, unless some other institution is 
 specified. 
 
 The names of ordained ministers are printed in Italics. 
 
 The death of any person is noted by a star against his name. 
 Two stars signify that his connection with the School was closed 
 by his death. 
 
 In Chapter II. those pupils who completed the whole course 
 are distinguished by the sign, f In several cases, where they 
 completed the course in a term shorter or longer than the usual 
 period of seven years, that fact is indicated by a figure annexed 
 
to the t ; t'5 meaning that the pupil completed the full course 
 in five years. 
 
 The interruption which will be noticed between April 10, 
 1775, and November 8, 1776, is the suspension caused by hostili- 
 ties, the siege of the town, and consequent confusion. The 
 school was resumed, by vote of the town, on the day last named. 
 
 Since 1814 the regular course has been one of five years. 
 Some occasional changes in its length between 1789 and 1814 are 
 indicated in notes to the catalogue. 
 
 The order of names in the second chapter follows that of the 
 manuscript from which it is printed.* It is believed, however, 
 that in later years, at least, that order was merely the order 
 in which the boys came to the examination on the day appointed 
 for it.f The first comer stood first on the register, and so 
 of tlie rest. Until 1814 l)oys usually entered at the age of 
 seven years. In 1814 a regulation was made by which none 
 younger than nine years old were admitted. In 1836 the 
 limit was fixed at ten years. In 1847 it has been fixed at twelve 
 years of age. 
 
 The materials gradually collected for a sketch of the history 
 of this School are now so full, that the committee trust that in a 
 future edition of this catalogue such a sketch may be laid before 
 its Alumni. It will be seen from this catalogue that the School 
 is the oldest institution for learning in the United States. Its 
 history has been closely connected with that of the influence and 
 worth of the town which established it.

 EDITORIAL XOTE TO THE PRESENT EDITION. 
 
 The rules atloptod by the Committee in iM-eparing tiie Catalogue in 1S47 
 have been followed in the present edition as iar a.s possible. All names are 
 inserted under the year of entrance, and in eases ot re-entrance are not re- 
 peated. Names of orchiined ministers are in italics. Tiie name of the College 
 by which they were couf erred is appendeil to all literar>'-degrees, except tliat 
 when a person is a graduate of any college, all subsecjueiit degi'ees, if not 
 otherwise indicated, are to be understood as given by liis Alma Mater, and 
 when IK) date is given, the degree was reeeiveciin course. 
 
 The dates of deatii are given as perfectly as it has been possible to ascertain 
 them, but many have probably escajjed our notice. A star against :v n.anio 
 sijjnilies the death of the person, and two stars tliat lie died wliile a member 
 of tiie School. With tl:e names of instructors, all literary degi-ees and other 
 titles of honor are given under the liighest olVicial position held in the Scliool. 
 On some of the jiages the numerical order of tlie notes may l)e incorrect, 
 owing to the insertion in the jjlates of additional matter obtained after tlie 
 pages were stereotyped.

 After the banishment of Rev. John "Wheelwright in 1638 for his adhesion to Mrs. Hutchin-

 the "Remonstrance," but sympathized with him, and "1638, 6th of 11 moneth," with 
 "Wheelwright and others, was dismissed from Fii'st Church, Boston, "unto the Church of

 Rogers were at Christ's. Wilson took bis first degiee the year before Maude, and they 
 two are the oldest Cambridge graduates who came to Xew England. At the time he became 
 our Head Master he was about fifty years old. He was admitted to the First Church, Oct. 
 25, 1635, — and admitted freeman May 2.'!, 1C3G. Mr. Savage is mistaken in thinking that 
 the customarj' token of respect is omitted in the record: for he appears as "Mr. Daniell 
 Maude." It has been suggested that he sympathized with Wheelwright. Bat he was not 
 one of the signers of the "Remonstrance," — and, when, in 1G42, the Church in Dover, 
 N. H., needed a minister, and sent to the Boston Elders to desire their help, these elders 
 named Mr. Maude, who went there in 1643, and ministered to that congregation, till 
 he died in 1655. lie left no children. Mather says he had been a minister in England : 
 Hubbard, that he Avas " a good man, of a serious spirit and of a peaceable aud quiet disposit- 
 ion." His salary at Dover was forty pounds a year. 
 
 * The Town Record of Boston, says only "Mr." Woodbridgc. We believe him to have 
 been the first minister of Andover, in Avhose biography by Mather there is a year or two 
 at this time unaccounted for. Mather, however, does not say that he kept the School. He 
 was born at Stanton, near Highworth, in Wiltshire, England, about 1613. He went to 
 Oxford, and remained till required to take the oath of conformity ; declining to do which he 
 took a course of private studies. He came to New England about 1634. His biography is 
 in Mather's Magnalia, Book iii. p. 219.

 Died Aug. 21, 1708. 
 
 * Ezekiel Cheever was born in London, Jan. 2oth, 1614. There i3 a tradition that he 
 was, when a boy, at St. Paul's school in London. He came to Boston, in New England, in 
 June, 1637 ; went, probably the next spring, to New Haven ; there married and Icept 
 school. He removed from thei-e to Ipswich, Mass., in December, 1650, and was the fii'st 
 Master of its Grammar or Free School. His first wife died in New Haven in 1649. At 
 Ipswich, Nov. 18th, 1652, he mamed for bis second wife, Ellen Lathi-op of Beverly. He 
 next moved to Chailestown and entered upon the duties of School Master there, Nov. 26, 
 1661, at £30 a year. From Charlestown he came to Boston. At a meeting of the magis- 
 trates held the 29th of the 10 mo. 1670, " it was agreed and ordered that Mr. Ezechiell 
 Cheeuers shoidd be called to, & installed in, the fifree schoole as head Master thereof, which 
 he, beinge then present, accepted of; likewise that Mr. Tompson should be inuited to be an 
 assistant to Mr. Cheeuers in his worke in the schoole ; wch Mr. Tompson beinge present 
 desired time to consider of, & to giue his answere : And vpon the thu'd day of Januaiy 
 gaue his answere to Major Generall Leueret in the negative, he haueingehad, and accepted 
 of a call to Charlestowne." 
 
 The 6th day of 11 mo the Magisti*ates met again and " beinge met repaired to the schoole 
 and sent for INIr. Tomson who, when he came, declared his remouaU to Charlestowne — & 
 resigned vp the possestion of the schoole & schoole house to the Gouernr & ca, who de- 
 liued the key & possestion of the schoole to IMr Ezechiell Cheeuers as the sole Mastr. 
 thereof. And it was further agreed that the said Mr. Cheeuers should be allowed sixty 
 pound p an. for his seruice in the schoole, out of the towne rates, & rents that belonge to 
 the schoole — and the possestion & vse of ye schoole house." 
 
 Among the Hutchinson papers at the office of the Secretarj' of the Commonwealth, is one 
 containing a petition fi'om Ezekiel Cheever to Sr : Edmund Andros, Governor, that he maj' 
 continue in his place as schoolmaster and may receive satisfaction for the aiTears of salary 
 due him. 
 
 At a meeting of the selectmen of Boston, May 29, 1693, it was ordered that Mr Ezekell 
 Cheever and the other school-master shall be paid quarterly, and that orders be passed to 
 the Treasurer for it Mr Cheever saleiy to be sixty pounds in money. 
 
 In 1699, his grandson Ezekiel Lewis, (q. v.) Avas appointed his assistant. 
 
 At a town meeting, March 10, 1701, it was "Voted that a House be Built for Old Mr 
 Ezek Cheever the Latine School Master, and it was further Voted, that the Selectmen to 
 Take Care about the Building of it." 
 
 At a Town Meeting March 13, 1703-4, " it was Voted that a New School House be build 
 instead of the Old School House in wch Mr EzekieU Chever teacheth, and it is Left wth the 
 Selectmen to get the same accomplished." 
 
 The book with which his name is usually associated, "The Accidence," was probably 
 wi-itten by him when in New Haven. This book passed through eighteen editions before 
 the Revolution, and was used as generally as any elementary work ever known, says Dr. 
 Bentley of Salem; and Mr. Samuel Walker says it was the favorite little book of our 
 youthful days, and "has probably done more to inspire young minds with the love of the 
 study of the Latin language than any other work of the kind, since the first settlement 
 of the counti-y." " I have found it the best book for beginners in Latin, . . and no work of 
 the kind have I ever known, that contains so much useful matter in so small a compass." 
 Bev. Thaddeus Mason Han-is says : — " I know of no elementaiy work so well calculated 
 for the beginner as Cheever's Accidence, — preeminently perspicuous, concise and compre- 
 hensive." He was also author of a work entitled " Scripture Prophecies Explained,"

 t John Lovell, eldest son of Jolm and Priscilla ((lardiner) Lovell, born at Boston, June 
 16, 1710. He was a stern rough man, though in many regards a very good man. His 
 pupils were as mudi afraid of him as if he were a lion. Annually there was a visitation of 
 the Selectmen, when the boys were examined in public. The lower classes recited in their 
 regular studies, but the best scholar of the highest class delivered a Valedictory Oration in 
 Latin. The boys doubted if the Selectmen knew much about it. There was a dinner 
 afterwards in Fancuil Ilall, but none of the boys attended. April 19, 1775, the school was 
 dismissed by Master Lovell with the words : " War 's begun — school 's done." He deliv- 
 ered the first public address in Faneuil Hall, March 14, 1742, at the town meeting called 
 on occasion of the decease of Peter Faneuil. He was a loyalist, and went to Halifax with 
 the British troops, March, 1776, and died there in 1778. His portrait, said to be by Nathl. 
 Smibert, (L. S. 1744,) is at Harvard College, and a copy of it by Badger, presented to 
 the B. L. S. Association by Rol)ert G. Shaw, Es(i., hangs in the scliool hall.

 The first Latin School-house was situated in the burying-ground of King's Chapel, nearly 
 opposite to the Sohool-liouse, still remembered by many, on the site afterwards oecupieil by 
 Horticultural Hall, and since by the Parker House; and was removed in 1748 at the expense 
 of the proprietors of tliat cliurcli, for their own accoiniuodation. " Apr. 4, 1748, the Church 
 petitioned the town for a grant of f irty-fuur feet of land east of the old chapel ; and proposed 
 to give the town a lot of land at llie upper end of a lane or passage fronting the present

 School-house, and to erect thereon anew School-house of like dimensions Aviththe present," 
 &c. Mr. Lovell -was unfriendly to the views of the Church, and threw obstacles in the way. 
 Nevertheless, on April 18, 1748, the town agreed to grant to King's Chapel a piece of land 
 to enlarge and rebuild ; and to take down the old Latin Grammar School-house, at a tumul- 
 tuous meeting, voting by yeas and nays. Yeas 205 ; nays 197. 
 
 In LoveU's day the school house was of one story with an attic above, a cupola with a 
 bell in front, and but one school i-oom. Master LoveU sat directly opposite the entrance ; 
 Master James at the left hand corner of the entrance. School was always opened with 
 prayer. In summer, school began at 7, closed at 11, and began at 1 in the afternoon. At 9 
 in the morning, however, all the forms were dismissed to go to Mr Holbrook in West Street, 
 to learn to write and cipher. They had strict orders from Lovell not to injure the young 
 trees which Mr. Paddock had set out by the Granaiy Burying Ground. The only exam- 
 ination for admission was in reading in the Bible. This was at Master LoveU's house. The 
 studies afterwards were the Accidence, Nomenclatura Brevis, Corderius, and later Ovid, 
 Virgil, and Terence, and those after the fourtli form made Latin from a book called " Intro- 
 duction to making Latin." In Greek, they read the Testament only. 
 
 The town provided Mr. Lovell with a dwelling house, situated in School-street, nearly in 
 front of the new (1832) Court-house, to which was attached an extensive garden extending 
 back towards Court Street, about as far as to the spot wdiere the jail used to stand. This 
 garden was cultivated for Mr. Lovell, free of all expense, by the assistance of the best boys 
 of the school, who, as a reward of merit, were permitted to work in it. The same good 
 Ijoys were also indulged with the privilege of sawing his wood and bottling his cider, and 
 of laughing as much as thej' pleased while performing these delightful offices. 
 
 Mr. Lovell usually passed the vacations, one of which was at Election, aud the other at 
 Commencement, with a fishing party, at Spot Pond, in Stoneham, and " the boys heard 
 with glee that he and the gentleman who accompanied him passed their time pleasantly in 
 telling funny stories, and laughing very loudly."

 Transferred to the South Grammar School, June, 1776. He was a conscientious man, who 
 sought, in the traditional way, to train his pupils in learning and virtue. By the terms 
 of his settlement he had reason to consider himself established in his office for life, with 
 a salaiy of £200, and certain perquisites, such as admission fees, &c., besides a house to 
 live in. The spirit of the times after the Revolution met his control with hostility ; and 
 the officials failed to uphold his authority. The perquisites were taken away in 1784, and a 
 grant of £30 made in lieu thereof. His house was taken away in 1790, and no equivalent 
 given. Other encroachments on his income were made, which straitened his circumstances. 
 He left office March 1, 1805, and retired to Watertown, where for several years he edu- 
 cated private pupils for college. June 10, 181G, he left Massachusetts for Lexington, Ky., 
 and died there Oct. 8, 1816. He married, first, Mary Dixwell, bis cousin, by whom he had 
 six children. Afterward he married Mrs. Elizabeth (Gibbes) Shepherd, of South Carolina, 
 and by her hadsix children. His descendants by the second marriage sui-vive in Tennessee, 
 Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina, and continue the name. 
 
 During the term of office of Master Hunt, it was, Feb. 6, 1801, Voted, that in all appli- 
 cations for the office of Master or Usher of any Grammar School in this town, an education 
 in some University shall be considered an indispensable requisite.

 degree. Uuder his administration the school rapidly advanced in reputation and numbers, 
 till, from occupying ouly the third story of the old scljool house in School Sti-eet, it grew to 
 fill the whole building. ^Ir. Gould's personal influence in producing among his numerous

 Beside the Latin Lexicon, which he edited, which is a monument of his industry and learn- 
 ing, he edited and published the Satires of Juvenal, and the Commentaries of Caesar, with 
 excellent notes. In managing the school he showed great skill. The boys loved and 
 respected him, although his disposition was not a cheerful one, and became, after the death 
 of his wife, somewhat gloomy. After resigning his position, he estabhshed a school for 
 boys in Boston, and was very successful, but he never liked the work of a teacher, perform- 
 ing it only under a sense of duty to his family, and with a feeling of regret that other 
 professions had been closed to him. He married Matilda Gorham, a lady from the West 
 Indies. He died October 5, 1836.

 • March r2th, 1666 The towne a^rreetl with Mr. Daniell Hinchcman for £40 per anu to 
 assist Mr. Woodmansey in the Grammar Schoolc and teach children to wrighte — the year 
 to be^in March 1 1665-6. 
 
 In 1668, Nov. 7, the General Court appointed Mr. Daniel Hinrknian («c) with three 
 others a Committee to aiTanfre about the location of the town afterwards Worcester. July 
 1.3, 1674, this Committee took a deed of the plantation from the Indians, where he is called 
 Daniel Hinchraan of Boston, brewer. In the record of the General Court, May 19, 1683, 
 approving the plan for laying out the plantation of Quansig<?amon, {sic) his name appears 
 as one of the active proprietors. [Mass. Records, v. 413.] In 1684 the plantation was called 
 Worcester. In May, 1685, he was present in the town with his son Nathaniel, — but in 1686 
 he died. 
 
 Philip's War broke out in 1675, and Hinchman served in it as Captain of a Company 
 which saw active service constantly, and at the end was a Major. [See extracts from one of 
 his reports in Hubbard's Ind. Wars, v. 1, p. 86.] 
 
 June 26, 1675, two days after Philip's War broke out by the murders in Swanzey, a foot 
 company under Capt. Daniel Hinchman, and a troop under Capt. Thomas Prentice, were 
 sent from Boston towards Mt. Hope, a message for assistance having been received from 
 Plymouth Colony. 
 
 "It being late in the afternoon before they began to march, the central eclipse of the 
 moon in Capricorn happened in the evening before they came up to the Neponset river 
 about twenty miles from Boston, which occasioned them to make a Halt, for a little repast 
 till the moon recovered her light again. Some melancholy fancies would not be persuaded, 
 but that the eclipse falling out at that instant of time was ominous, conceiving also that in 
 the centre of the moon, they discovered an unusual black spot, not a little resembling the 
 scalp of an Indian." Hubbard's Indian Wars, v. 1, p. 67. 
 
 This expedition of Henchman and Prentice, afterwards joined by Mosely and Cudworth 
 of the Plymouth troops, only drove Philip to the west. Henchman with a hundred men 
 was left to watch and follow them, while the rest of tlie force returned to Boston. He was 
 ordered to disband liis men some time in midsummer. 
 
 Nov. 1675. He marched again on an expedition against Ilassancmesit, (Gi-afton,) which 
 had but little result. 
 
 He was not oue of the six captains appointed for the army under Winslow, which lussem- 
 bled at Dcdham, Dec. 9, 1675, and was not in the attack on the Narragansett fort, Dec. 19, 
 1675, whiih broke the Imlian power; but .\pril 27th, 1678, he was out as CapUiin of a com- 
 pany of horse, commander in chief of three of horse, and three of foot, to range toward 
 Hassaneuiesit. His troops returne<l and were discharged " liy reason of an epidemical cold, 
 at that time prevailing through the country," and because of the rain which prcvenfcil tlieir 
 following the enemy, May 10th; l)ut May 30th, 1676, tlicy were called together again, and 
 were out as far as Iladley, in which Henchman killetl and took about eighty-four of the 
 enemy without the loss of any of his owu men. This expedition ended early in •July.

 " Capt. Daniel Henchman planted the Great Elm on Boston Common in 1670." 
 
 Boston Transcript, July 3, 1848. 
 
 A tradition has existed in the Hancock family, passed down by Mrs. Lydia Hancock, wife 
 
 of Thomas, that her grandfather, Hezekiah Henchman, set out the tree when he 
 
 was a boy; which would have been over two hundred years ago, as his father, Daniel, the 
 old schoolmaster, left Boston as early as 1674. Other accounts, from the Henchman family, 
 give the honor to the old schoolmaster, who "ivielded the sword as well as the birches, — for 
 he commanded the famous Artillery Company, and sei-ved in King Philip's War in 1675. 
 Tlie last tradition says that the tree was set out as a shelter for the company. 
 
 N. B. Shurtleff's Top. and Hist. Descr. of Boston, p. 335. 
 
 Dr. Shurtleff states the reasons for doubting this tradition, and for supposing that the tree 
 was of good size and growing in 1630 when Boston was settled. Hist, of Anc. and Hon.

 t Edward Wigglesworth was born at Maiden about the beginning of the year 1693. At 
 College he had a high standing for general scholarship, and was dislinguished for his classi- 
 cal attainments. lie stucUed theology after graduation, and was licensed to preach. A 
 certificate signed by Mr. Nathaniel Williams, 1714-5, proves that he was a teacher in our 
 School for at least a quarter before October, 1714. He was not a preacher attractive to the 
 multitude, and so never settled as a pastor, but was appreciated by the intelligent, and when 
 Tliomas Hollis, of London, established the professorship at Harvard College, bearing his 
 name, was nominated by him as its first occupant, and inducted into office, October 24, 
 1722. In 1724 he was elected a member of the Corporation of Hai-vard College. He was 
 greatly distinguished for his benevolence. lie continued to perform the duties of his pro- 
 fessorship until within a few days of his death, which occurred January IG, 1765.

 X In 1732 Jeremiah Gridley edited a ncwspai^er called the Rehearsal, which almost weekly 
 contained an essay on some historical, literary or political subject, generally, it is supposed, 
 written by him. They abound in Latin allusions and (piotation-; ; the style is not bad nor 
 uninteresting. Tlicre is a file in the Library of the American .\uti(juariau Society, Wor- 
 cester, Mass. He was afterwards Attorney General, and as such opposed to Otis iu the 
 question of the Search Warrants. See Knapp's Biog. Sketches, p. VJ'.K

 X James Lovell, son of John Lovell, born at Boston, Oct. 31, 1737, Usher Latin School, 
 1757, was also Master of the North School, now Eliot School. In 1775, after the Battle of 
 Bunker Hill, thirty-one persons, among whom was Mr. Lovell, were imprisoned in Boston 
 Gaol by General Howe. At the evacuation of the city, March, 1776, he was carried to 
 Halifax with the British troops, and was a prisoner in that city, while his father was also 
 there as a loyalist refugee. Exchanged and returned to Boston, Nov. 30, 1776. Elected 
 to Continental Congress, December, 1776. Receiver of Continental taxes, 1784. Collector 
 of the Port of Boston, 1788-1789. Naval officer at Boston, 1790-1814. Died at Windham, 
 Maine, July 14, 1815. 
 
 The London Political Register for 1780 says: "In the pockets of Warren, the Rebel 
 commander killed at Bunker Hill, were found letters from James Lovell, a rebel spy, stating 
 the number and disposition of the troops in Boston, with a vai-iety of other information. 
 The spy, instead of being sentenced to the gallows and executed, was only taken up and 
 detained in custody, and when our army was at New York, he was discharged at the re- 
 quest of some of the Rebel chiefs Instead of being grateful for this, the instant 
 
 he landed in the rebel territorj', (he) wrote the commissary a most abusive letter ; and by 
 this infamous behavior, having arrived at the summit of villainy, was in the opinion of the 
 rebels of Massachusetts deemed a fit person to represent them in Congress ; accordingly, as 
 
 soon as he set his foot in Boston, ho was chosen one of their delegates to Congress " 
 
 Loring's One Hundred Boston Orators. 
 
 Mention is made of the imprisonment of Mr. Lovell in Boston in the "Diary of Peter 
 Edes written during his confinement by the British, in Boston, in 1775, after the battle of 
 Bunker Hill," Bangor, 1837 ; and in " a journal kept by JohnLeach during his confinement 
 by the British in Boston Gaol in 1775," N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg., July, 1865, the originals of 
 both of which are now in the possession of Hemy H. Edes, Esq., of Boston, by whom 
 they were kindly loaned to the Rev. Dr. Hale to read to the Latin School Association at its 
 first annua dinner, November 8, 1876. 
 
 He delivered in the Old South Church April 2, 1771, An Oration, at the request of the 
 Inhabitants of the Town of Boston to commemorate the Bloody Tragedy of the 5th of 
 March, 1770, which is in the Library of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester.

 * According to the School Committee records John Haskell was elected Master of the 
 Centre Reading School, 27 June, 1800. Mr. Wm. G. Colburn has a note written by him, 
 dated Centre School. In Fleet's Massachusetts Register for 1799, Samuel Hunt appears as 
 Latin Grammar Master, Centre School ; in 1803, Wm. Biglow is given as the same and 
 John Haskell as English Grammar Master, Centre School, and the latter continues the 
 same as late as 1817, when Mr. Benj. Apthorp Gould appears as Latin Grammar Master, 
 Centre School. The Committee therefore feels justified in filling the blank of the edition 
 of 1847. The same School Committee Records state that Benjamin Gleason applied for the 
 Mastership of the "West Reading School, 20 May, 1808, and the Committee has thought it 
 not unlikely his is the name which should be inserted in the blank before Gleason.

 (possibly Lat. Sch. 1696,) Harv. 1708, A. M. ; died June 9, 
 1713. 
 
 * The Latin and Greek pupils of this School were transferred to the South Grammar 
 School, Oct. 20, 1789, on the report of the Committee on Schools, accepted Oct. 16 of the 
 same year. 
 
 t In the Catalogue of 1847, the date of Mr. Wadsworth's death is given April, 1713, but 
 the Boston Transcript of Dec. 28, 1878, states that the Superintendent of Copp's Hill Bury- 
 ing Ground, on the 22d of that month, in opening a tomb, discovered an old gravestone 
 with the following inscription, which seems to require a change of date : 
 
 Recompense Wadsworth, A. M. | First Master of the | Grammar Free School | at the | 
 North End of Boston | Aged about 24 years | Died June the 9th 1713. 
 
 The same article gives the following copies from the Town Records : — 
 
 March 11, 1711-12. 
 
 At Town Meeting 
 
 Voted, That there be a free grammar school at the North End of Boston : and 
 
 Voted, That Captain Thomas Hutchinson, Colonel Adams Winthrop, Mr. John Ruck, 
 Captain Edmand Martyn and Mr. Samuel Greenwood be the committee relating to building 
 said school house. 
 
 Voted, that the Selectmen be requested to procure a suitable master for said school. 
 
 March 9, 1712-13. 
 
 Voted, That it be left with the Selectmen, and they are empowered to introduce Mr. 
 Recompense Wadsworth at the North, and to allow him sixty pounds for one year. 
 
 There would appear to have been a school in the North part of the town at a period much 
 earlier than the establishment of this, for in the Hutchinson MSS. we find the foIIo>ving 
 order of Gen. Andros, dated Boston, May 24th, 1687. 
 
 " By his Ex'cy's command : Upon petition of Joshua Natstock, and recommendation of 
 many of the inhabitants of the N. part of the town of B. I do hereby appoint the said 
 Joshua to be master of the public school there and to have and enjoy such profits and bene- 
 fits and advantages, as have been heretofore paid and allowed to his predecessors." 
 
 When Andros's power ceased, the town lost no time in voting, — Records, June 24th, 1689, 
 that the custom and practice of managing free schools be restored and continued.

 t Tlie old Catalogue pives Nov. 8 as the date of the transfer of Mr. Huut to the South 
 Grammar School; but in his manuscript Catalojrue, he himself says he was appointed 
 Master of the South Grammar School in June, 177G. No record of any ceremony of induc- 
 tion appears. 
 
 Mr. Hunt states that certain pupils were admitted in October, and in November before 
 Nov. 8. It seems improbable, theiefore, that the School was not in session some part of 
 the time between June, 1776, and Nov. 8, 1776. 
 
 X Documents in the possession of Mr. E. S. Dixwell, show that Mr. Hunt was introduced 
 into the North School April 20, 1767, instead of 1768 as <,'iven in the Cataloirue of 1847. 
 
 The address made ou that occasion Ijy the person actin;; for the Selectmen contains tliese 
 words : — 
 
 " Many plants of renown have been raised here by Master Wiswall who have done wor- 
 thily in their day both in Church and State. Therefore let his name be mentioned with 
 honour ; tho' his fjreat age and infirmities have oblit^ed him to quit this post in which he for 
 a great number of years served his town and Country with honour. The honour of suc- 
 ceeding him will devolve upon you ; etc." 
 
 As the beginning of the same address says, "Children, this house has been unimproved 
 for some time, perliaps to your disadvantage," it appears that Wiswall had been too old and 
 infirm some time before April, 1767, to perform the duties of teacher. The inference would 
 be that he was alive in April, 1767, when Hunt was appointed, and sun-eudercd the place to 
 him ; so that, if the old Catalogue is correct in placing his death in Sept. 1767, it is possibly 
 incorrect in assuming that he died in otfice.

 Mr. WiswaU, the principal, was laboring under the infirmities of age. He was a veiy rigid 
 disciplinarian. He had studied divinity : was a decided Socinian but was prevented from 
 preaching by constitutional timidity." 
 
 Note to Memoir of Dr. J. Eliot, Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll. 2d series, vol. 1, p. 228. 
 
 t In the same article referred to in the note above, p. 230, it is stated that at the death of 
 WiswaU in 1767, Josiah Langdon succeeded, but that he had no ability to govern and was 
 soon dropped : that the pupils were sent for six weeks to the South Grammar School, under 
 John Lovcll and his son James : that then the school was put under James Lovell, but was 
 in an unsettled condition for some time ; and Master Hunt was inducted into office 1768, 
 and staid till the Revolution, when he was put over the South Grammar School. 
 
 The documents recovered from Samuel Hunt's papers are at variance with some of these 
 statements, and show them to be, at least in part, incorrect. Ephraim Langdon died in 
 
 1765, and Josiah Langdon succeeded him as Usher- Our Catalogue says he left office in 
 
 1766. The allegation in the Massachusetts Historical Society's Collections, that he " had no 
 ability to govern and was soon dropped," had reference probably to the office of Usher. It 
 may be true that Wiswall's age as far back as 1765 was so great as to incapacitate him from 
 active service, and the school may have been under the charge of the Usher ; and the 
 statements about the pupils being sent to the South Grammar School, etc., may be true; 
 but if so, the facts occurred before April 20, 1767-

 4 Sprague says that Samuel Danforth, whose name was placed here in the former cata- 
 logue, was educated in Cambridge under the care of Rev. Thomas Shepard, and Sibley, 
 (•J. L.) agrees with him. Consequently the Committee feels justified in removing his 
 name, and has inserted that of Samuel Bellingham, who appears as likely to have been at 
 the School as the others of his Class mentioned.

CHAPTER II 
 
 1734-1774. 
 
 This chapter, ns stated in the edition of 1847, "vras oriojinally made 
 u]* from the manuscript Catalogue of Master Lovell, written out by 
 Master James Lovell, which was very imjjerfect, giving in most in- 
 stances only the surnames of the bo)-s. Many names were supplied 
 in tliat Catalogue, (as is stated in its jireface,) from the memory of 
 gentlemen then living, who had been pujjils of the School. In pre- 
 j taring the present edition, the Committee has consulted such gen- 
 ealogical jjublications as are now accessible, most of them compiled 
 since 1847, which give the history of families represented here by 
 surnames only. The result has not been as great as was expected 
 or ho]>ed; but a. few names have been ascertained of boys whose 
 connection with the School is undoubted. These names have been 
 inserted in the text, with references to the sources whence they have 
 been derived. Sabine's Annals of thu Loyalists of the American 
 Revolution have furnished a few more names, some of which seem 
 probable, and one or two certain ])U]iils. 
 
 The Records of Births in the Town of Boston, between tlie years 
 ITiiO and 1780, have been examined carefully, and some names ascer- 
 tained beyond question ; while in other cases the names of two or 
 more boys have been found who were of suitable age to have en- 
 tered the School at the time their names appear on the list. Of 
 these last, all the names have been given, in the hoj)e that, in 
 some instances, there may be relatives still living, Avho, from their 
 knowledge or family ])a]»ers, can give ns authentic information, that 
 such ]>oys either could not have gone to the School, or iimhtubteiUy 
 did go. It will be as valualjlu to the Committee to know certainly 
 that a boy did not go to the School, so that his name v:\n bo stricken 
 <jut, as that he did go, so that it can be retained, since such elimina- 
 tion renders it more probable that the boy left was the pujiil of the 
 School. 
 
 It was impossible for the Committee to make an exhaustive exam- 
 nation of the list of deaths; so that it is j>ossible, in cases Avhere 
 more than one name has been given to suj»ply a vacancy, that one 
 of the boys may have died in infancy, and so could not have entered 
 
 ( 48 )' 
 
the School in the year supposed ; information of that fact in relation 
 to any one, by again increasing the possibility of elimination, would 
 add to the certainty in I'egard to those left. 
 
 The rule adopted by the Coenmittee has been, that any boy who by 
 the Town Records was about nine years of age, or in his ninth year, 
 at the time the name appears on the Catalogue, is probably the boy 
 who entered, and the Christian name found in the Records is accord- 
 ingly given in the text, with a query (?), and the date of his birth in 
 a foot note. When the boy is found to have been a year or two 
 older or younger at that time, he is regarded as possibly a pupil of 
 the School, and his Christian name is given, with a ? and t (? $) ; 
 where there are two or three names, either of which might be the 
 boy, the most probable name is given in the text, with a ? and t, 
 and the other names in a foot note. 
 
 The Committee feels justified in this decision, because it is found 
 by Mr. Hunt's Catalogue, where he puts down in many cases the ages 
 of the boys on entering, that they sometimes entered the School 
 when only five years old, while in others they were even fifteen or 
 over. 
 
 Whenever a boy appears to have been born in Boston about nine 
 years or less before the name appears on our Catalogue with the 
 surname only, and about ten years later the same name ajjpears 
 in the Harvard or Yale Catalogues, with a Christian name corre- 
 sponding with that on the Town Records of Birth, the Committee 
 has had no hesitation in deciding that that name should be inserted 
 in our lists as undoubtedly our boy. Whenever there is evidence 
 that one brother was a member of the School, the Committee has, in 
 cases of doubt, given the presumption of j^i'obability to other mem- 
 bers of the same family, who appear to have been of fit age to 
 precede or follow him. 
 
 The spelling of the Records is so uncertain, the surnames of chil- 
 dren of the same family often being spelled differently, as Simbert 
 and Smibert, Collins and Collens, that the Committee has felt justi- 
 fied in disregarding the spelling when the name appears the same, 
 and the age is plainly suitable, particularly when there were older or 
 younger brothers in the School of ages corresponding to those given 
 in the Records. 
 
 That the list thus made up is not perfect, and that many names 
 are still wanting, and are now likely to remain so forever, seems to 
 the Committee capable of explanation in part by the very imperfect 
 condition of the Town Records of Birth during the years named, 
 and particularly after 1744, some families being only inserted in part, 
 and many births omitted altogether ; and in part by supposing that 
 some of the boys may have been born out of Boston (in which case 
 it could not be expected that their names would be found on its 
 Records), and moved into town with their parents before or about 
 the time their names first appear. 
 
 The Committee hopes the publication of these names of possible 
 pupils will stimulate the activity of those interested in genealogical 
 pursuits to furnish them information, wherever it is now possible to 
 
50

 suj>]ilv it, po that in the next edition of tlie Catalogue some of 
 tlie names now mark('<l j»roba>)le may he made certain. Ea<-h year 
 decreases the ojntortunity for makinLj these corrections, and whatever 
 is not done now, will ]»rohal)ly never he accomi»lished. 
 
 Tiie names of these boys are not arranged, as in the Harvard Cata- 
 logue, according to the social position of their parents, hut according 
 to tli<^ order in wliidi they presented themselves at Lovell's house for 
 examination. This we learn from a letter Avritten hy Ukju. Harrison 
 Gray Otis (see page viii. Preface), as well as from the jiosition in 
 which the name of the son of Sir William Pepperrell stands in the 
 Class of 1737.

 3 Perkins's Life of Copley, p. 30. Bridirman's Pilgrims of Boston, etc., p. 68, where 
 Ills name is given as Thomas Fisher. He lived in the house erected by Governor 
 Belcher, at the corner of what are now Washington and Hollis streets. The house and his 
 libraiy, which for the time was valuable, were burnt three years after his death in the great 
 fire of 1787. He was chairman of the Committee sent towards the close of the Siege of 
 Boston in March, 1776, at the request of the Selectmen and with the sanction of Gen. 
 Howe, to propose to Gen. "Washington an agreement, that if the British troops were allowed 
 to evacuate the place unmolested, Boston should be left uninjured. Some exception was 
 taken by Washington to the communication as not coming from the General in command ; 
 but it was understood between them that this should be as proposed. See Sabine, i. 161. 
 
 •4 b. 28 Sept. 1728. A brother of Samuel and also of Jonathan, whom we suppose ours 
 of 1732 and '4, q. v. The records of the First Ch. say he was baptized 22 Sept. 1728. A 
 similar discrepancy between the records occurs in the case of Jonathan (1734), and will 
 be noticed in one or two other instances farther on. It is impossible to decide which 
 is correct, but they can be reconciled by assuming that the record of birth is probably 
 right, that the baptism took place, as was usual, on the Sunday following the birth, and 
 Avas recorded subsequently and by some accident the distinction between baptisms on suc- 
 cessive Sundays was not made by the party recording them, or if made was overlooked 
 by the copyist, since in nearly every case as in this, a change of a week in the date would 
 make all right, by bringing the baptism on the day following the birth, or within one or 
 two days after.

 ^ The Welles of 1734, to which the name Arnold has been attached, should be a blank 
 if this is correct, — and it is very likely to be if Samuel is rightly inserted against the other 
 Welles there, as Samuel was an older brother of Arnold. This name should in that case be 
 spelled Welles ; and it is not unlikely that the same name in 1739, q. v. refers to the same 
 boy and is repeated, perhaps from his having left and re-entered, or through some accident ; 
 but this may perhaps be John Wells, bapt. at King's Chapel, 8 Dec. 1727. 
 
 7 b. 8 Nov. 1728. See Allen's Diet, of Amer. Biog. 8 Sabine, i. 406. 
 
 9 On Town Records spelled Fullarton, b. 30 Nov. 1727 ; but the records of the Church 
 in Brattle Sq. give the baptism of William Fullerton, 3 Dec. 1727, so there is probably no 
 doubt the same person is intended in both cases, and that our spelling is correct. 
 
 10 b. 16 Sept. 1728 ; but perhaps Ezekiel, bapt. First Ch. 27 Mar. 1726. 
 
 II b. 5 Dec. 1730 ; but perhaps Samuel, bapt. First Ch. 1 May, 1726.

 3 Son of Sir WiUiam, under -whose name Allen mentions him; see also Curwen. — We 
 i-egard the position of this name as one proof that the arrangement is not by family rank. 
 
 4 Is he the John on BarrcU's list ? This document, which will be frequently referred to 
 hereafter, is a list of the inhabitants of Boston, who, on the evacuation by the British in 
 Mar. 1776, removed to Halifax with the army ; copied from a paper in the handwriting 
 of ^Valter Barrell, one of the refugees ; communicated to the Massachusetts Historical 
 Society, Dec. 1880. 
 
 £ b. 13 Feb. 1729. Younger brother of John, whom we take to be the same as ours of 
 1736. He engraved the seal of Harvard College and of the Grand Lodge F. and A. M. of 
 Mass. See W. H. Whitmore's pamphlet on Feter Pelham, reprinted from Proceedings of

 mentioned in his father's will, Suffolk County Probate Records, lib. xliv. fol. 67. The 
 father planted the elm trees which stood in Essex Street (formerly Auchmuty's Lane) 
 until the last decade. This Robert was associated with John Adams in the defence of Capt.

 In the notes at the beginning of this chapter v.'c referred to the pvobability that many Iwys 
 ■whose first names we could not find on the Records, were born out of town ; since these 
 pages ha%"e been passing through the press, we have learned that it was no uncommon thing 
 for boys from out of town to be sent to Boston, that they might enjoy the tuition of the 
 Masters of the Latin Sciiool. The occurrence of this name, and that of sevci-al oilin-s 
 which we know to have been identified with the neighboring towns, as Quincy, Vassall, 
 Brattle, add probability to this statement.

 ' Thomas Brinley (Sabine, i. 255) graduated at Hai-vard College 1744, *1784. He is on 
 Barren's List. He could have been our boy by spending but one year here and entering 
 college in his senior year. If he is the Thomas bapt. King's Chapel, 2 Nov. 1726, his age, 
 sixteen at this time, would give some plausibility to the idea that he may have done so.

 3 b. 8 June, 1734 ; or he may belong in 1741 instead of Isaac, who may perhaps belong 
 here ; or if Isaac is correct for 1741, this may be his brother Pollard, b. 23 Mar. 1735, a 
 brother also of Benjamin of 1740 ; while if the boy of 1741 is Kichard, this may be his

 1724, and a brother of our John of 1744 ; q. v. ; bapt. King's Chapel, 27 June, 1736. Un- 
 doubtedly the spelling should be Gardiner, as on the Chapel records. Sabine, i. 462. 
 
 1-4 b. 1733 ; perhaps Houghton ; perhaps William Lee, b. 10 Feb. 1736, who is probably 
 the William on Barrell's List ; Sabine, ii. 177 ; or James, b. 1733, «1773.

 10 Probably the William Simbert {sic) on Town Records, b. 29 Jan. 1732. The record is 
 plainly Jan, but the date of baptism at the Old Soutli, 2 July, renders it possible that the 
 copyist has mistaken u for a, and that it should read .Jun. The record of baptism pives the 
 name as Williams, which, being the family name of his mother, is vciy likely correct 
 
 11 b. 28 Jan. bapt. Old South, 3 Feb. 1733; but perhaps his brother Caleb, b. 6 Oct. 1731. 
 
 12 b. 1 Feb. 1737. 
 
 18 b. 20, bapt. Old South, 26 Jan. 1734. "My father wrote to Dr. J. Eliot of Nathaniel 
 Smibert : He received his grammar instruction under the famous Master John Lovel, but 
 did not proceed to a colle;j:iatc course. He enya^'cd in his father's j>r<)res>ii)n of painting', 
 in which he emulated the excellencies of the best masters ; and, had his life been spared, 
 he would probably have been in his day what Copley and West have since been, — the honor 
 of America in the imitative art. I remember that one of his first paintin;;s was the picture 
 of his old master, John Lovel, drawn wliilc the tcrrilic impressions of the pcdajio-j^uc were 
 yet vibrating upon his nerves. I found it so perfect a likeness, that I did not wonder when 
 my young friend told nic that a sudden undesigned glance at tlie head often made him 
 shudder." — From a Letter of Judge Craiich, of Washington, in l>uuhip't Ilittorlcal Art* of

 - Father of Hon. John Phillips, first Maj-or of Boston. Son of John and Mary (Buttolph) 
 Phillips. Born in Boston 29 Aug. bapt. Ch. in Br. Sq. 4 Sept. 1737 ; but perhaps David, 
 bapt. King's Chapel, 14 Sept. 1737 ; or William, b. 30 Aug. 1736, son of John and Sarah. 
 
 3 Probably b. 11 (the editor of the Harvard Quinquennial says 9), and bapt. New No. Ch. 
 11 Aug. 1736. He died before 1761. 4 Sabine, i. 313 ; also Drake and Allen. 
 
 5 Sabine, i. 406 ; also note on Goldthwait, Class of 1745 ; the latter note also applies to 
 Taylor. 6 On Barrell's List. 
 
 ' b. 24, bapt. Old South, 25 Nov. 1733, but more probably he should be in the Class of 1743. 
 Nathaniel, who is given there and should be here, was a younger brother. 
 
 8 The Catalogue of 1847 gave this name as John Dudley. In Dr. Homer's copj- of Lovell's 
 Catalogue, referred to iu the Preface, p. iv, he has written Gridley. The name comes just 
 where there is a crease in the original manuscript, which has been so worn that only the 
 dley can be deciphered, with a part of the letter preceding which may be i or ii. It is fair 
 to suppose that it was in better condition when Dr. H. made his copy, and that he has 
 rightly given it Gridley, though that copj' is not always correct, for he frequently changes 
 the spelling, and occasionally omits duplicate names.

 10 b. 19 Oct. 1739; but of these two, one may perhaps be Samuel, b. 21 May, 1737; or 
 Christopher, b. 26 Julj-, 1740. Barrell's List gives a James who may be the one here, or 
 should perhaps take the place of the other. 
 
 II b. 29 July, 1739. See note on the same name under 1747. One of the boys given there 
 may belong here, and the boy in the text, or one of the following, if he does not belong Lore 
 may belong there : John, b. 12 Sept. 1738 ; Benjamin, b. 15 Nov. 1740. 
 
 12 ? John, Harv. 1759, *1761. b. 11 May, 1741, entered Harvard College from Charles- 
 town at 14, died before 1766, — T. B. "Wyman, Genealogies and Estates in Cliarlestown, 
 (i. 423) says in 1761. He may have been our boy. 13 See Allen and Drake. 
 
 14 b. 12 June, 1735. This name in the old Catalogue was printed Lowder ; and supposing 
 that to be correct, we had suggested for the Christian name Jonathan, b. 16, bapt. Old So. 
 23 Dec. 1739 ; but on examination of the original, it seems clearly to be Lowden, a name 
 which also occurs on the Town and Church Eecords, and we have altered our conjecture to 
 correspond with the changed spelling, though referring it to a much older boy.

 that Samuel Hunt was tlic pni)il of Master Lovoll in the Latin .School, and that he lived

 ■» Deacon of Church in Brattle Sq. " An ardent revolutionaiy patriot. He was a mem- 
 ber of the patriotic Corps of Cadets, then under the command of Col. John Hancock, and 
 was one of the two who reversed their muskets and broke from the ranks when the 
 obnoxious Commissioners of Customs, contraiy to what had been previously arranged, 
 joined in the procession at the annual election in 1768 — an act of sudden but honest indig- 
 nation, but so unmilitary in character that it cost him his place in the company. He was one 
 of the ever memorable party who destroyed the tea, and one of those also who removed 
 from the guard-house, at the corner of West Street, two cannon, secreting them for a time 
 beneath the desk of the Master, in the school-house near by. In various ways, by patient 
 sacrifices and eai-nest etforts, Deacon Grant devoted himself to the cause of liberty." —

 Snelling, and daughter of Moses Grant, published in Christian Begister, 1 Oct. 1859.

 I b. 19, bapt. Old South, 25 Oct. 1747; with little doubt. He had brothers Joseph,

 7 bapt. Old South, 22 July, 1744. There was a James Allen born in Boston 24 July, 1739 
 (see Allen's Biog. Diet., also Drake) ; but as he would have been seventeen years old at 
 this time, it is improbable that he is the same as this; or one may be Lewis, bapt. Christ

 is probably ours of 1754.

 i The only name on the Town Records of birth bearing any similarity to this, about this 
 time, is Gillam Tailor {sic), b. 5, bapt. King's Chapel, 10 Nov. 1754. The Gillam Taylor, 
 Sabine, ii. 346, can hardly be our boy, as at this time he would have been but five years old. 
 
 5 See Genealogy of Appleton Family, p. 22. 6 Sabine, ii. 31. • b. 18 Jan. 1750. 
 
 8 bapt. King's Chapel, 30 Nov. 1755. Sabine, ii. 200, gives his name William Dummell, 
 but the King's Chapel record, which gives Dummer, is undoubtedly coirect. Perkins's Life 
 of Copley, p. 96, says Anna Dummer Powell, the sister of Gov. Dummer, was wife of John 
 Powell, which, if she were not mother of this Wm., shows a family connection, between 
 the Powells and Dummers. Drake gives his name as Dinsmoor, and the date of his birth 
 1756, both of which must be incorrect. 
 
 3 Loring, in the Hundred Boston Orators, p. 228, states positively he was our boy, enter- 
 ing this year ; so we leave the ? off. He also says he was thirty -eight years old at his 
 death, which makes it probable he was son of "William and brother of Benjamin above, 
 Class of 1761, and in that case bapt. Old South, 25 Feb. 1753. There was another Samuel, 
 son of Samuel, b. 12, bapt. Old South, 13 Jan. 1754, whom, for the reason given, we do not

 2 See Allen on his father, Gov. Sir Francis ; Sabine, i. 225 ; Burke's Pcei-agc, 431 ed. 1S81. 
 8 If, as the Catalogue of 1847 says, he was A.B. of Hai-v., he must be Nathaniel of 1774, 
 
 and the Ray is an error. The same name on Barrell's List may be his, but is perhaps more 
 likely that of his father. See Sabine, ii. 351. 
 
 ■• In the Catalogue of 1847, this was given as Peter Thatcher, Harv. 1769, minister of the 
 Church in Brattle Sq., but Emerson's Funeral Sermon says distinctly that he entered in 
 1759; and though on Lovcll's Catalogue the name Peter is here written out, and Loring 
 (following perhaps our Catalogue of 1847), says he entered in 1763, we have concluded 
 that it is best to place him in 1759 and insert here the name of his brother Thomas, who 
 was of an age to make it probable that he was our boy of this Class. 
 
 6 See Class of 17G1 ; it is liard to say whether this is the same boy who re-entered, or 
 another of the same name, or whether there is not an error here for John. Sabine, ii. 303.

 * Erased by William W. Greenough in his interleaved Catalogue, edition of 1847, on 
 the supposition that he is identical with our Gilbert Deblois of 1773, q. v. ; but we suppose 
 bim to be the (J. D. bapt. King's Chapel, 29 Sept. 1755, an<l consecjuently identical only in

 I bapt. New North, 22 May, 1757. There was a James Allen at the North Grammar 
 School in 1767, who may have entered here, and like his classmate Gore below, gone there 
 later ; and it is perhaps his name that we should have inserted. 
 
 - New Eng. Hist. Gen. Reg. vii. 144. bapt. King's Chapel, 3 Nov. 1756. The middle 
 name is spelled on the Church Records Stewart. Isaac is given on Lovell's list, but evi- 
 dently written in by a later hand. 
 
 3 The same name appears at the North Grammar School from 1767 to 1771. He may, like 
 others of his classmates, have gone from here there.

 6 See Hist. Sketch of Mass. Lodge, p. 121 ; Collections Mass. Hist. Soc. iii. 191 ; Drake's

 from there to Harvard College. See the note under Peter M. Crequie, Class of 1767. 
 
 " b. 19 Nov. 1757; but perhaps "William, bapt. Old South, 21 Mar. 1756; or John Par- 
 miter (sic), bapt. New North, 10 Apr. 1757. 
 
 8 b. 25 Feb. 1756. He had a brother Thomas, whom we suppose the same as ours of 
 1762 ; and another, Hezekiah B. who may be our boy of 1759. 
 
 He is perhaps identical with the James given in the next Class, and inserted accidentally 
 here or there ; if the former, the name here may be Joseph, b. 24 Aug. 1753, a brother 
 of John, whom we suppose possibly one of ours of 1759. The name is abbreviated in 
 Lovell's Catalogue, and it is hard to tell whether intended for Jas. or Jos. 
 
 9 See notes on the same name in the two preceding Classes. This boy may have entered 
 in 1763, left and re-entered. 
 
 13 "We have been unable to find on the Town Records, or on those of any church, or in 
 the Clarke volume referred to above, a Christian name to insert here, but think it not un- 
 likely that this is the Samuel of the last Class, repeated by some accident. 
 
 II b. 26 Dec. 1760 ; or Samuel, who appears at the North Grammar School in 1767, whom 
 we have supposed our boy of 1764. But there is a Thomas Blanchard who was at the North 
 Grammar School from 1768 to 1775, who may have been here first and gone there, as we 
 have already noted of other bovs in this Class.

 The story which has passed into fiction, and been represented upon the canvas, as well 
 as in the procession at the celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the 
 founding of Boston, of the Boston boys going in a body to the Province House to remon- 
 strate with Gen. Gage because their coast was injured, originated in an incident which 
 occurred while this Class was in the School, and near the time of its leaving. The boys 
 were a committee from this School, of which Mr. Robins, who nan-ated the stoiy to the 
 Rev. E. E. Hale in 1846 or 1847, was one. The General was not Gen. Gage, but another 
 General, and the house not the Province House, hut a house in School Street. The hoys 
 used to bring their sleds to school and put them in the yard, and as soon as school was 
 done, coast from Mr. Shelburne's house, quite down the hill (i.e. down Beacon, across 
 Tremont and down School Street), past the Scliool-house. The General's servant used 
 to spread ashes on the sidewalk every morning. This spoiled the coasting, and the Fii-st 
 Class of the Latin School met and went over to tell the General about it. He told the boys 
 that he had trouble enough with Boston men, and wouldn't have any with Boston boys. 
 
 A note of Harrison Gray Otis (of our Class of 1773) to Mr. Gould, dated Dec. 18, 1S44, 
 says: "The house next adjoining the wall of the Chapel Cemetery, east, was an ancient 
 stone building of grotesque architecture, which, wheu I went to school, was occupied by 
 the British or (I believe,) German Gen. Haldiinan,^ who commanded under Gage. The 
 same house was afterwards, and prol)ul)ly within your rememl)rance, owned and inhabited 
 by John Lowell, Esq." It was undoubtedly in this house that tlie interview occurred. Sec

 1 bapt. liing's Chapel, 28 Mar. 1759, 
 
 2 Born in Boston 1759, died at Cheltenham, England, July 23, 1839. He took the lead 
 among his schoolmates in their sports ; was often captain of the pj-ocession on Gunpowdei'-plot 
 Day, yet became suflSciently familiar with the Latin classics to quote them readily and aptly 
 in Parliament, when such pedantic displays were still the fashion. He entered the British 
 Navy as a midshipman before the Revolution, and gained rapid promotion, and had reached 
 the grade of Admiral, and was created a baronet in 1804. In both our wars with England, 
 he was spared the necessity of taking part against his former countrymen. After the peace 
 of 1815, having acquired a handsome fortune, he appropriated a part of it in establishing^ a 
 naval school afloat for training officers for our commercial marine. He founded a school 
 for the descendants of his g. g. g. g. father, Tristram, at Nantucket, one-fourth pait of 
 which island at one time belonged to Tristram and his sons, and of which Tristram was the 
 chief magistrate. He imported here several blood horses to improve the breed ; and brought 
 over in creels turbots of the English variety, previously unknown, as it is understood, in 
 our waters. Sir Isaac was of noble proportions and of prepossessing countenance, genial 
 in his manners, witty and gay. He was much liked by his brother officers, and well known 
 in Boston, which he frequently visited. 
 
 It is believed that all of the name in the Latin School before the Revolution were de- 
 scendants of William Coffin, great grandson of Tristram, of Nantucket. All his branch 
 of the family then living were, with little exception, refugee loyalists, of whom many rose 
 to high rank in the British service, civil or militaiy.— A^o<e from Hon. T. C. Amory. See 
 Drake's Biog. Diet. ; Burke's Peerage, 5di edit. (1S38), p. 1117 ; Heraldic Jour. Apr. 1867.

 3 b, 7, bapt. King's Chapel, 20 Oct. 1758, 
 
 4 Spelled Scroop by Lovell and Wallcut, but Scrope on the list of Oxford degrees, and by 
 Burke. He was third son of Gov. Sir Francis, and the fourth baronet, succeeding his two 
 brothers— John, who died 1809, and Thomas, who died 1818, whom we suppose to have 
 beea of our Class of 1763. He married Harriet, only child of WiUiam Morland, M.P., an 
 eminent surgeon of Lee, County Kent, and subsequently assumed, 15 Feb. 1811, by royal 
 license, the additional surname of Morland, See Burke's Peerage, 43d edit. 1881, 
 
 5 There is no mistake that James is the Christian name on LoveU's Catalogue here, but 
 Dr. Homer has given him in the next Class, and substituted here the name of Hugh ISIackay 
 G., who was given in that Class in the Catalogue of 1847. Mr. Wallcut's note, presently 
 to be mentioned, says nothing of James, but gives Hugh M. As the Catalogue of 1847 s.ay3 
 Hugh was advanced one year, his position on Wallcut's list is easily explained, but the 
 omission of James is not accounted for. The Catalogue of 1847 says James was A.B., but 
 the only James who has graduated at Hai-vard was in the Class of 1779 ; and though he 
 might have been our boy, the editor of the Quinquennial, in an inquiry for information 
 about his death,— which is supposed to have been before 1833, — states that the place of 
 his birth is unknown, though perhaps Amherst or Dunstable, from which we infer that

 he was not identical with our James, and that the insertion of the deg^rec here is an error. 
 It has seemed best to us to retain James here, droppiuj; the deforce attached to his name, 
 and Hugh M. in the next Class, supposinjr that Lovcll is con-ect in his arran;zement, and 
 that our committee on the old Catalo;:uc was led by the similarity of names to conclude 
 that it was our James who went to Harvard. 
 
 1 This name, printed Wolcott in the Catalojruc of 1847, and so wiittcn on Lovell's, is 
 given coiTCCtly in Dr. Homer's list. It is possible that the name Wallcut, in the Class of 
 1763, is intended for him, he having perhaps entered, left and re-entered, or that thei-e 
 should be a transposition of that name with the name originally given here. 
 
 Thomas AVallcut was one of the founders and the first Recording Secretary of the Massa- 
 chusetts Historical Society, is frequently mentioned in its published Proceedings, and a 
 memoir of him is given in the volume for 1835-55, p. 193. Some years after his death, his 
 papers were presented to that Society (see its Proceedings for 1879-80, p. 100), and among 
 them was found a list of this Class of the Latin School, which was published in the same 
 volume, pp. 216 and 217. This list corresponds with that given in our text, except in the 
 substitution mentioned above of Hugh Mackay Gordon for James Gordon, and in omitting 
 the name of Samuel Newman and giving the names of John Erving, Shirley Ening, and 
 Thomas Temple Fenton, who will be found in the text nnder the Class of 1771, in which 
 year they entered. 
 
 Of this Class, which was in many respects the most noted that had ever entered the 
 School, Dr. Homer says : " It furnished a Judge of Probate, of the Supreme, of the Superior, 
 of the Municipal Court; an Admiral, a Lieutenant General, two English Major Genei-als, 
 one Knight of the Bath, two Baronets, two Marshals (civil), one Colonel of Artillery, one 
 Lieutenant Colonel, two Doctors of Divinity, two Fellows of the American Academy, three 
 Fellows of the Historical Society, two State representatives, three members of the British 
 Parliament." 
 
 The list of Mr. \Vallcul's, printed as above-mentioned, gives a little different classification, 
 and mentions the names under each head ; so we add it, from the volume referred to : — 
 
 "The Class of 17GG has furnished jjrofcssional and mci'cantile men, viz: one judge of 
 Supreme Judicial Court, one judge of Municipal Court, one judge of Probate Coui-t — Dawes ; 
 one judge of Inferior Court, one public notaiy — Cooper; one British admiral — Coffin ; one 
 British general (Indies) — Ochterlony ; one British colonel — Gordon (II. M.*) ; two Amer- 
 ican colonels — Freeman and Bradford ; thi'ce baronets or knights of the Bath — CoflSn, 
 Bernard ami Ochterlony; one mcml>er of Parliament f — Bernard; one British captain — 
 Bethune; two clergymen — Freeman and Homer; two civil marshals — Bradford and Prince; 
 one high sheriff— Bradford ; two representatives in State Legislature — Jones and Prince; 
 two physicians — Erving and Grcenleaf ; one commissary general of the State, one coroner 
 — Prince; one officer in the civil list of Great Britain — Fenton ; one antiquarian and scribe 
 to the State — Wallcut; one war agent — Eustis; thirteen nieixhants — Jones, Johonnot, 
 Robins, M'lieehvright, Davis, Deblois, Bradford, McNeil, Eustix, Fletcher, Laughton, 
 Erving, and Prince ; five masters of arts— Dawes, Erving, Freeman, Grcenleaf,* and 
 Homer; two fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences — Freeman and 
 Dawes; three fellows of the Historical Society— Freeman, Homer, Wallcut ; two poets — 
 (one doggerel) Prince, (one sublime) Dawes." 
 
 In 1810, forty-four years after graduation, when the list was made out, seven of the Class 
 were dead and twenty-one were supposed to be liviuj;. 3 See Scwall's Diary, i. xi.

 1 Peter Crequie, like Christopher Gore, appcai-s to have left this School to become a pupil 
 of Master Hunt at the North Gramm.ar School. In JIaster Hunt's manuscript Catalojjue, 
 to which reference will be made in the following chapter, occurs this amusing memorandum : 
 
 "Boston, May 27th, 1771. 
 
 " I, Peter Crcqui, engage that Chris. Gore shall punctually observe the rules of tliis 
 School for three weeks from this date ; and sho'd he break them or any of them within 
 this time, I promise to receive peaceably the punishment due to such Offence with the said 
 Christopher. " Peter Crequi." 
 
 Two other memoranda concern boys who were subsequently teachers of our School : 
 
 " I, Jno. Prout, promise the same for Will Bcntlcy. — J. Provt." 
 
 " I, Jona. Snelling, engage for Will Prout. — Jona. Snellino." 
 
 Some similar memoranda will be given iu the Appendix.

 Alexander and Jane, was bapt. King's Chapel, 5 Sept. 1760, 
 
 Hugh Mackay Gordon entered the army during the American War, and was for many 
 yeai-s an oflScer of the 16th Regiment. He was promoted captain in that regiment iu 1788, 
 major in the army in 1796, lieutcuaut-colonel in 1798, and obtained a majority iu his regi- 
 mi'ut iu 1799. He was promoted to the rank of major-general in 1811, and was nominated 
 colonel of the York Chiisscurs in 1811 ; in 1816 he was removed to the Sixteenth (appointed 
 colonel 8 Jan.). In 1821 he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant-general. Ho died iu

 I James (of 1767) had no brother, and his father's family seems to have been the only 
 one of that name livino; in Boston, until a later period; if this be not a repetition of his 
 name by mistake, perhaps it is intended for his cousin James, son of Joseph of Barnstable, 
 b. 20 Sept. 17.")5, jrraduated at Harvard 1775, and died at sea in 1790. See New England 
 Historical and Geneal. Recrister, vol. ii. July, 1848, p. 296. S. A. Otis, of our Class of 1790, 
 was a Barnstable boy, which confirms the idea. From the Town Records it would appear 
 that Joseph, Jr., probably father of this James, came to Boston to live, some ten years 
 or less after this. 
 
 '- Starred in the Catalogue of 1847, which led to a note from Joshua Loring of Newton, 
 saying that he was not then dead, but living in London, at the age of eighty-nine, "very 
 intelligent, and of sound mind." He was a brother of John and Benjamin Joy of Boston, 
 of our Classes of 1759 and 1765. 
 
 3 b. 29 Oct. 1763. Although rather young for this Class, we have found no name tliat 
 seems more likely to belong here. John Dixwell Blauchard. whom from the date of his 
 birth, 21 Jan. 1758, we had selected to insert, is on Hunt's Catalogue of the North Grammar 
 School from 1767 to 1773, and so could not have been a pupil of this. See note 11, p. 87. 
 
 4 b. 16 Sept. 1759 ; but perhaps John, bapt. King's Chapel, 3 Sept. 1760 ; or Philip, bapt. 
 at same church, 6 June, 1756 ; or Enoch, bapt. at same, 13 Dec. 1754. 
 
 5 " Artist to George III." 
 
 6 It is possible that this is Zephaniah, Yale 1778, LL.D. 1817. Chief Justice Conn, who 
 was born at Wareham, Mass., Feb. 1759. See Drake's and Allen's Biog. Dictionaries. 
 
 " bapt. King's Chapel, 10 Sept. 1755. 
 
 3 Joseph Finley (sic) graduated at Coll. of New Jersey 1775, and John Evans Finley (sic) 
 A.M., at the same in 1776. Can this be cither ? 
 
 ^ A brother of Rufus Greene A., of our Class of 1767, and undoubtedly identical with 
 the Thomas who, as in the Catalogue of 1847, is also given by us in the Class of 1770. 
 
 W Put here on the authority of Freeman ( ?James), but probably should be Samuel (see 
 Class of 1772), who was born in Boston, graduated at Harvard in 1775, and settled in New 
 Brunswick, where he was Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and d. 21 Jan. 1847, 
 in his 93d year. See Sabine, i. 466 ; also N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg. Jan. 1879, p. 52. 
 
 II Robeit Pierpont is on Hunt's Catalogue of the North Grammar School. He entered 
 14 Feb. 1774, :v 10, and remained through the school year 1774-75. In 1777 and 1778 
 the same name occurs on Hunt's Cat.alogue of our School. If this be the same, he must 
 have entered here at this time when less than five years of age. This he ma}^ have

 records of the First Church as baptized William Cook, 25 Oct. 1761, though from the long 
 and unusual intei'val between birth and baptism, it is fair to infer that the first William died, 
 and the record of the birth of William C. has escaped our notice : he would have been about 
 the age for this Class ; or perhaps Thomas, b. 14, bapt. New North Church, IS July, 1762, 
 died 1808, though he is more probably one of those of the Class of 1772. 
 
 5 Probably identical with the Thomas of 1768 ; and if so, died 1823. 
 
 6 Mr. Jonathan Mason, of this city, writes in the Boston Daily Advertiser of April 29, 
 1880, that when he was residing in 1804 with his " grandfather, at his house at the corner 
 of Court and Common, now Tremont, Streets, occupied by Messrs. S. S. Pierce & Co. as a 
 grocery," there was an English officer who Avas a frequent and favored visitor at the house. 
 Concerning him, he adds : " Opposite to the King's Chapel, at the corner of School and 
 Common, now Tremont, Streets, I recall iu that year an old, weather-beaten dwelling, 
 inhabited bj' an elderly lady whom we boys addressed as Sally Sheaf. In the same house, 
 it was said, she resided during the Revolution, and with her, it is also said, Lord Percy 
 boarded during the occupancy of the town by his regiment. With her at the same time 
 was a young dependent relative who waited upon and attended to his errands, and became 
 a favorite with his lordship, — so much so as to induce him to beg his relative to allow him 
 to go with Lord Percy when the Evacuation of Boston took place, with the promise of his 
 education and future advancement. It was with many solicitations of the boy and her own 
 friends, she finally consented with great reluctance. The officer visitor at my grandf;ither"s 
 in 1S04 and that boy were one and the same person, he then, in 1804, commanding the 
 same regiment in Canada which his patron, Lord Percy, commanded in the Revolution, 
 and bivouacked under the great tree on the Common previous to marching on Lexington." 
 
 The officer referred to was General Sir Roger Hale Sheafi"e. He was connected with the 
 Coffin family, having married Margaret, the youngest daughter of John (who may have 
 been our boy of 1738), and sister of William and Thomas, of our Class of 1768. See Sabine, 
 ii. 234 ; Perkins's Life of Copley, p. 106 ; also Drake's Biographical Dictionarj*.

 3 These names appear on Hunt's Catalogue in 1776. We suppose them to refer to the 
 same boys, that they vrere at the School until it was closed at the time of the battles of 
 Lexington and Concord, returned and were re-entered on the Catalogue after it had been 
 re-opencd under Master Hunt. The same appears to have been the case with sevci-al 
 other boys, under whose names we shall refer to this note. The name of Nathaniel Eustis 
 appears again in 1773, and we suppose it a repetition from here. 
 
 * b. 18 Aug. 1763, a lirother of Samuel of 1767, and Nathaniel of 1773 in the Catalogue 
 of 1847, as we suppose ; but perhaps the latter name, for which the substitution of Joshua 
 in 1773 seems demanded by later and better authority, belongs here. * b. 5 Feb. 1760.

 Hill were recorded 7 Oct. 17.j3. We find no record of the marriage nor of Ids birth, but it

 1 Is probably the same as Samuel given in the Catalogue of 1847, in the Class of 1773, 
 who appears on Hunt's Catalogue in 1776. Undoubtedly son of Samuel (Sabine, ii. 392), 
 and brother of John Ei-ving Waldo. He probably was in the School at its close, and re- 
 entered when it was re-opened. See note on Nathaniel Eustis, Class of 1770. 
 
 2 This must be James Lovell, b. 1758, Harv. 1776 ; adjutant in Jackson's Regiment, died 
 in St. Matthew's parish. South Carolina, 10 July, 1850, aged 92. Lived to be the oldest 
 graduate of Harvard ; see Memorials of Massachusetts Cincinnati, by F. S. Drake, p. 38. 
 He however may be the James who graduated at Hai-vard in 1787. 
 
 3 See " Welles Family," p. 122 ; also Allen's Biographical Dictionary. He was a member 
 of the Massachusetts Historical Society ; but we can find no notice of his death, or memoir 
 of him in the published Proceedings or Collections. 
 
 * Probably son of Michael Franklyn and Susannah Boutineau, whose intentions of mar- 
 riage were recorded 4 Jan. 1762. 
 
 5 This may be the William who appears on Hunt's Catalogue in 1776 ; but he was at the

 left and re-entered, after a term there. 
 
 6 b. 6 May, 1763 : brother of Sir Thomas A., of 1761, and William, of 1769 ; Sabine, i. 
 327. The committee on the Catalogue of 1847 identified him with Ebenezer Coffin, Hai-v. 
 1789, who died in 1816. It is not impossible that this was correct, but in that case he would 
 have been twenty-six at graduation ; and as Sabine says nothing of his being a graduate, 
 we are inclined to doubt the identification.

 of the old Catalogue, printing him in that Class without, and in this with his degree, as it 
 is not impossible there may have been two of the name in successive Classes, as the name 
 appears in each Class on Lovell's list.

 ■» In the Catalogue of 1847 the name Erving is given as a surname, but it occurs in no 
 manuscript. Joshua Green gives John Erving Waldo in the next Class ; there seems some 
 probability that another Waldo belongs there, and that Green is mistaken in the year. It 
 appears at least likely that the two names belong together here, and we have accordingly 
 joined them, and given the other name under the next Class, q. v. No " Erving " appears 
 against the name on Lovell's Catalogue. On Hunt's Catalogue in 1776 is a John Waldo, 
 aged 11, who may be this one ; unless, as suggested under the next Class, he is the John 
 Jones Waldo, who was given in the Catalogue of 1847 in the Class of 1776-83. See Sabine's

 or in 1774, as explained in the note under that Class. 
 
 John Lovell, Foster Swift, Charles Basnet (though given on his second list), 
 Roland Gilson, and James Forrest, who appear on Lovell's list, are omitted. For

 1 The Catalogue of 1847 gave this name John Deblois, which is as it was written on 
 Lovell's list, but we have inserted Gilbert on the authority of Joshua Green's memoranda. 
 Mr. Greenough in his interleaved Catalogue has erased Gilbert Deblois from the Class of 
 1763 and inserted his name here instead of that of John. But, as we have intimated under 
 that Class, there were two Gilberts, one the son of Gilbert, and brother of our Stephen of 
 1772, who was bapt. King's Chapel, 29 Sept. 1755, who, though rather young, is probably 
 the boy belonging there ; the other, son of Lewis, bapt. at the same church, 1 Feb. 1764, 
 who was born 20 Dec. 1763, and died in Providence, R.I. in June, 1785, and undoubtedly 
 the one who belongs here, if Joshua Green is correct. A letter which the Committee has 
 received from Stephen G. Deblois, Esq. of our Class of 1826, maintains however that the 
 name John, as given here by Lovell, and in the old Catalogue, is correct, and that the 
 reference is to John, son of Gilbert (another brother of Stephen just referred to), who 
 was born in 1767, and bapt. King's Chapel, 26 Dec. 1767, and died in London, 8 Mar. 1784. 
 
 2 See his letters in Hist. Sketch. ; Memorial Biographies published by New England 
 Historic-Genealogical Society, 1881 ; also Loring's Hundred Boston Orators, p. 193. 
 
 3 We have retained this name, which was on the old Catalogue, because it is found on 
 Lovell's list, and was also given by H. G. Otis, although it is omitted on Joshua Green's 
 lists. We presuine it only a repetition of Nathaniel, who is given under the Class of 1770, 
 q. v., and reappears, as we suppose, in Mr. Hunt's Catalogue, under the Class of 1776. 
 
 ^ This name is not on Green's list : he may have remained but a short time, or have been 
 transferred to a higher Class. 
 
 5 See AUen's Biographical Dictionaiy, article on Joshua Paine, of Sturbridge, who was 
 perhaps his father. We have inserted this name on the authority of Green's memoranda, 
 and of Mr. Grcenough's and Prof. Haynes's interleaved Catalogues, placing Nathaniel, 
 who was here before, as one of the conjectures in the note under the name of Paine, given 
 in the Class of 1770. 
 
 6 Samuel was the name inserted here in the Catalogue of 1847 ; a manuscript note in Rev. 
 Dr. E. E. Hale's interleaved Catalogue, says on the authority of H. G. Otis. See the Class 
 of 1771. Joshua Green's first list says John. His second list, and Prof. Haynes's and Mr. 
 Grcenough's Catalogues, probably following it, read John Erving W. ; but presuming that 
 John Erving belongs in the Class of 1772, as we have there stated, we think that the boy 
 who belongs here may be Joseph, b. 18 June, 1764, a brother of John Jones, who was given 
 in the old Catalogue in the Class of 1776-83, and appears on Hunt's Catalogue in the Class 
 of 1776 as John Waldo, aged 11 ; unless the true case is that John Jones entered this year, 
 and remained till the closing of the School, returning when it was re-opened. Under these 
 cu'cumstancos, it seems best to us to insert the name John with a ? as it occurs in so many 
 authorities, and in the lack of further information, to suppose him identical with John Jones. 
 
 ■^ Appears as Jack on both of J. Green's lists ; see the note under the second. The name 
 is given Gardner by Lovell. The old Catalogue gives no Christian name. He does not 
 reappear in Hunt's Catalogue. See Drake's and Allen's Biographical Dictionaries.

 5 J. Green marks against him in the list of 1773, "left School," and does not give him 
 in his list of 1775 ; but in Hunt's Catalogue the same name appears iu 1777, aged 12, so that 
 he probably re-entered. 
 
 6 He is found on Hunt's Catalogue in 1776, aged 10. See notes 3, p. 96, and .">, p. 98. 
 
 ' On Hunt's Catalogue his name appears in 1778, again in 1779, aged 15, and then disap- 
 pears. As he is not found in the j-ears between tliis and those, it is probable that he left the 
 School when it was closed, and remained away a couple of years or so, returning to finish 
 here his preparation for college. See note 1, p. 100 ; also Allen's Biographical Dictionary. 
 
 8 A note from his brother Joshua, of Newton, is the authority for the date of his death. 
 Joshua also says he himself was with II. G. Otis. He was younger, and is found on Hunt's 
 Catalogue in 1776. An Israel, aged 9, appears on Hunt's Catalogue, entering in 1777, who 
 must however, if this date is correct, be another boy.

 II b. 22 Feb. 1762, died 2 Jan. He appears in 1776 on Hunt's Catalogue, aged 15, and 
 probably, like the others above, was in the School when it closed, and returned when it was 
 re-opened. He was, according to the same authority, at the Nortjj Grammar School from 
 17G9-73, before coming here. Sec notes 3, p. 96, and 5 p. 98.

CHAPTER III, 
 
 1774-1781. 
 
 Me. Hunt's Catalogue, described in the next chapter, has supplied 
 many deficiencies in the Classes from 1774 to 1805, originally printed 
 from the reminiscences of gentlemen then living. But it begins Avith 
 1776, while Mr. Lovell's ended with 1773. Accordingly, Ave have no 
 record of the Classes of 1774 and 1775. For the reason given below, 
 there was probably no Class that could properly be designated as 
 that of the latter year, but we have attempted to make up that of 
 1774 conjecturally by adding to the names on the old Catalogue the 
 names of those who, according to Joshua Green's second list, entered 
 the Class of 1773 later than the rest, and two names furnished to the 
 Committee by Mrs. S. F. McCleary, Sen., after the old Catalogue 
 Avas issued, and omitting John Cooper, Thomas Crafts, and Henry 
 Roby, Avho, though members of this Class, did not probably enter it 
 until after this yeai', as we find them on Mr. Hunt's Catalogue of 
 the North Grammar School up to the time Avhen that ceased to be.

 3 This name appears on J. Green's second list as in the Class of 1773 in 1775, but docs 
 not reappear in Hunt's Catalogue. His connection with the School was probably short. 
 
 4 On Joshua Green's second list in April, 1775, as of the Class which entered in 1773. 
 Against his name on the Catalogue of the North Grammar School, where he was in 177-1-5, 
 is April 4, which is perhaps the date of his leaving, and the age 7}i. He is on Hunt's Cata- 
 logue in 1776, aged 9. After 1777 he disappears.

 in the Historical Sketch, to Nov. 9th, 1776, when it was re-opened by 
 the vote of the Town, there was no school. The Class of 177G, as 
 given in the next chaftter, no doubt contains the names of many 
 boys who entered in 1774 and 1775 before April, and, like many ]>re- 
 viously noticed, were in School when it closed, and returned when 
 it was re-opened. 
 
CHAPTER IV. 
 1776-1805. 
 
 o>*:o 
 
 The Preface to the Catalogue of 1847, (p. iv. of the present 
 edition), reads as follows: — 
 
 "Mr. Hunt's Catalogue of the Boys who entered the School 
 during his time, between 1776 and 1805, is unfortunately lost. His 
 manuscript returns to the School Committee of the boys in the 
 School in 1789, 1790, 1794, are extant, and are here published. Our 
 only other sources for lists of his pupils are one or two of Mr. 
 Carter's returns of the "Latin boys" who went to his writing 
 school, and the recollections of different gentlemen now or recently 
 living, who were under his care. To these recollections, as will be 
 seen, we are largely indebted. But it has proved impossible to 
 reconcile them perfectly with each other, or to compile from them 
 lists approaching the completeness of contemporary catalogues. It 
 is particularly difficult to give the precise dates to names thus col- 
 lected." 
 
 As a note to Chapter III, in the same Catalogue, we read : " The 
 materials of this chapter, with the exceptions which have been named, 
 are the reminiscences recently collected of gentlemen now living." 
 
 It is a great gratification to the Committee to be able now, 
 entirely to supply, from the very best authority, the deficiencies thus 
 lamented. No longer can it be said that Master Hunt's Catalogue 
 is lost. 
 
 At the annual meeting of the Latin School Association in 1875, 
 Mr. E. S. Dixwell, a former Head Master of the School, the grand- 
 son of Master Hunt, presented to the Association a manuscript 
 volume which he stated was a copy of Master Hunt's Catalogue from 
 1776 to 1805 ; and the following letter from him explains the circum- 
 stances under which it came to light : — 
 
 Cambeidge, June 14, ISSl. 
 Dear Sir : ^ 111 1875 an old trunk was found in my brother's house, which 
 had been stored away in attics over fifty years and forgotten. The contents 
 were unknown to any of our family. Certain reasons prompted an exploration

 of its contpnts, and it was broken open. It was found to contain papers left by 
 my grandfather, Samuel Hunt, when he removed to Kentucky in 1816. Among 
 them were two manuscript books, of size and shape convenient for the pocket; 
 and they proved to be the very ones which tradition had reported as kept in his 
 day by Master Hunt, and whicli we had so much desired to discover at the time 
 we made the first attempt to form a Catalonue of tlie Latin School. 
 
 Soon after that discovery I made a transcript of the lists therein contained, 
 and presented it to the Latin School Association. I retain the originals myself, 
 for reasons which are special and pert^onal. »»»»••• 
 
 Truly yours, 
 Rev. Henry F. Jenks. E. S. DIX\VT:LL. 
 
 Here was the niis.sing link. From that Catalogue we have pre- 
 pared the present chapter. A few names on the old Catalogue 
 we do not find. They were probably inserted from the memory 
 of gentlemen who thought they went to school here with the boys 
 named, and who really may have gone elsewhere with them, and 
 confused the places ; a trick which we know is not unfrcc|uently 
 played by the memory upon those who trust to it without the 
 additional aid of written records. Some of these names we are 
 sorry to lose from our rolls, and on the possibility that they may 
 have been at the School for a short time, not long enough to 
 have been registered on the Catalogue, we have adopted concern- 
 ing them, the practice already made familiar in the first cha))ter, of 
 placing them " below the line," and awaiting further proof before we 
 absolutely dismiss them. 
 
 Mr. Hunt's Catalogue is complete with the exception of the Class 
 of 1781, and that hiatus we have supplied in a manner which will 
 be explained under the Class itself. He gives each year a list of all 
 the boys in the School, from which it is easy to see who finished 
 the course, and Avho only remained a jiart of the time. He has 
 arranged the boys a])parenLly in classes, but the order of names is 
 not alphabetical, and as there seemed no special reason for re- 
 taining his oi-der, in view of the greater convenience of the alpha- 
 betical arrangement, the Committee has hatl no hesitation in decid- 
 ing to change it in conformity thereto. 
 
 The ages of the boys are generally given against their names, in 
 the year when they first appear at the school, and as this is a great 
 help in identifying them, giving certainty, where in the conjectural 
 restorations of LovelTs Catalogue there has been only jtrobability as 
 a guide, they have been retained. The residences of some arc also 
 given, and these too, as a matter of historical interest, have been 
 preserved. 
 
 With some of the names in the Class of 177() no age is given. 
 Some of the boys thus unmarked are either on Hunt's Catalogue of 
 the North School, or Lovell's Catalogue of ours, and were evidently 
 transferred with the former froju that School, or having been ])ui)ils 
 of the latter at the closing of this, returned after it was re-o))ened. 
 It seems, therefore, reasonable to infi-r that with the others, the 
 absence of the age is an indication tliat they were t>ld ])Upils who 
 came l>ack as soun as they could after the School was re-opencd ; 
 and that some Avhose names are found neither on Hunt's list there, 
 
PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 107 
 
 nor Lovell's here, may have been jDupils of our school entering in 
 1774, a year for which we have no record. In later classes there are 
 also found the names of boys who were at the North School before 
 Mr. Hunt was transferred. It is not improbable that their families 
 may have removed from town about the outbreak of hostilities, re- 
 mained away until after the evacuation, or even longer, and then on 
 their return the boys were sent to their old Master in his new school, 
 either because their residences had been changed, thus obliging them 
 to attend the South instead of the North School, or from a desire 
 on the part of their parents to retain them under his instruction. 
 In some of the later years too, occur the names of old pupils, who 
 2)erhaps remained still longer out of town, or were temporarily under 
 other teachers, and were finally sent here to receive the finishing 
 touches before applying for admission to college. The course seems 
 to have been seven years, though some boys remained longer and 
 some comj)leted it in less time. 
 
 In addition to the boys mentioned on p. o5, as transferred to the South 
 Grammar School with Master Hunt, v/e find on his Catalogue these who ap- 
 pear on the Catalogue of the North Grammar School in the years named : — 
 
 Caleb Brooks Hall, of 1777, in 1774 and '75, aged 8 in the former year. 
 
 William Goodwin, of 1777, from 17G0 to '75. 
 
 John S. Lillie, of 1777, from 1772 to '75. 
 
 John Cooper, of 1776, from '70 to '75; in '73 his age is given as 7; he probably 
 should have been on the list of those transferred, as in '76 he appears with age 
 marked 10. 
 
 Peter Beyer, of 1776, from 1772 to '74. 
 
 Thomas Crafts, of 1776, from 1774 to '76, aged 7 in 1774. 
 
 Joseph Loring, of 1776, from 1773 to '75. 
 
 Benjamin Homans, of 1777, we have taken to be the same as the Benjamin 
 Homans of 1773, on Lovell's list; Kobert Pierpont, of 1777, as the Robert Pier- 
 pont of 1768; John Doubleday (aged 15), of 1778, as the John Doubleday of 1772; 
 Joshua Green, of 1779, as the Joshua Green of 1773; Michael Gill, of 1780, as 
 possibly the Michael Gill of 1771; and John Hubbard, of 1780, as the John 
 Hubbard of 1773. 
 
 The manuscri^Dt of Mr. Hunt's Catalogue begins thus : — 
 
 April 19*.^ 1775 A Detachment of the British Troops marched 
 from Boston in Order to destroy some Military Stores, lodged at 
 Concord, which immediately alarmed the Country & caused them 
 to collect the Militia together to prevent the Troops from effecting 
 their Purpose, or to defend themselves (as they knew not what might 
 be their Designs) from any Danger they might be exposed to — In 
 their way to Concord they met with a Number of the Inhabitants 
 of Lexington in Arms. The Consequence of which was that the 
 British Troops fired upon & killed Eight of the Militia, Which was 
 ye Comencement of a most unhappy unnatural & cruel Civil War — 
 Which drove me from my School at the North Part of the Town, 
 which I left the 6^^ August & resided at Little Cambridge till the 
 next June 1776, when I was appointed by the Selectmen of Boston, 
 Master of the South Grammar School.

 age at the time of our llevolutionary struggle, he was capable of uudcrstauihiig something 
 of the stining scenes and events that were then transpiring around him. He had no active 
 participation in them, however, save in one instance. On the night of the march of the 
 British troops upon Lexington and Concord, he was despatched on horseliack about ten 
 o'clock in the evening by his father, to Roxbury and Wafertown, to convoy to Gen. Warren 
 and other patriots intelligence of the expected e\i)edition. His father liad learned nt that

 II With his namesake below he entered 25 Mar. 1777. As there are other instances of 
 Mr. Hunt's repeating a name, these two names, which are very near each other in his 
 original Catalogue, may stand for the same individual; but. as we find on his manuscript 
 in 1777 the same repetition, it is probable that there were two John Lowells. 
 
 See Allen's Biographical Dictiouaiy ; Loring's Hundred Boston Orators, p. 281 , also 
 Proceedings of Massachusetts Historical Society, 1835-'55, p. 160. In this memoir it is 
 stated that he was prepared for college at Phillips Andover Academy. This does not pre- 
 clude his having been for a time hei'e. He was born at Newburyport, in 1769, which would 
 make his age agree with that given by Mr. Hunt ; so that it seems to us not improbable 
 that we are correct in the identification, and our conclusion is confirmed by the Historical

 The following boys appear on Mr. Hunt's Catalogue of this Class, in addition 
 to those above, whom, for reasons already given, we suppose identical with those 
 of the same name who are found in previous years on Mr. Lovell's list, and have 
 accordingly omitted from the te.\t. The year given against the name is that 
 of the Class in which we suppose it to belong: — 
 
 Nathaniel Bethune, 1770; Edward Sohier, 1770; Charles Bulfinch, 1770; Edward 
 Wendell, 1770; JohnLovoU, 1770: Xathanid Eustis, 1770 [and 1773]; John Dash-

 10, 1772; John Waldo, aged 11, 1772 [or 1773]; John Savage, aged 10, 1774; John 
 Fleet, aged 10, 1774; Thomas Crafts, aged 0, 1774; Benjamin Brackett, aged 11, 
 1773; John Gray, aged 9, 1774; William Crafts, ? 1771 ; Nathan Frazier, aged 10, 
 1773; Ebenezer Bass, aged 12, 1773; Simon Eliot, aged l-^i, 1773; Joseph Lovell, 
 1772; William Dorr, 1773. 
 
 The following in this Class have no ages attached, on Hmit's Catalogue. Those 
 'marked N, appear as his former pupils at the North Grammar School; those 
 marked L, are on Lovell's list, and have already been noted by us as their names 
 occurred. It is probable that he only put down the ages of new boys, at the 
 time they entered, and it seems a fair inference that the other boys than those 
 thus marked, were pupils of the School, entering in the years for which we have 
 no record (1774, and 1775 previous to April 19), and that he found them members 
 at the time he assumed charge.

 In the Catalogue of 1847 there is a list headed 1774-89, of boys supposed to 
 have entered during those years to whom the committee was unable to assign the 
 particular year of entrance. Of these, all who appear on Mr. Hunt's Catalogue 
 have now been given in the year to which they respectively belong; the four fol- 
 lowing, however, are not on his list, and we must think their insertion an error.

 Son of Col. Boyle. Very likely he lias 
 been confounded with John Boyle (perhaps 
 an older brother), who is fciven by Mr. Hunt 
 in 1782. Isaac was born iu 1783, but as he 
 did not graduate fi-om college until he was 
 thirty years old, it seems very improbable 
 that "he entered this School before he was 
 six.

 logue of 1847:—

 *George Whipple 
 
 He is given on the old Catalogue as X.^l., 
 but his name is not found in the Catalogues 
 of Harvard, Yale, New Jersey, Columbia, 
 Brown, Bowdoiu, or Dartmouyi Colleges, so 
 that it is probably incorrect. His name may 
 have been George A. 31. Whipple.

 liis surname is spelled Lillie, at other times Lilly. In 1775, no middle name is given : at 
 other times it is spelled Switcher. See Whitman's Hist. A. anil H. A. Co. 2d edit. p. 357.

 1 bapt. King's Chapel, 25 July, 1770 ; died 31 May. The name is spelled Clemens in the 
 King's Chapel Eegister, as it is sometimes by Mr. Hunt. Mr. Farrington, of our Class of 
 1788, says he lived at the corner of Milk and Congress Streets. 
 
 2 Died 2 Jan. aged nearly 85. Nephew of Gov. Hancock, and for many years occupant 
 of the Hancock Mansion in Beacon Street. 
 
 3 Son of Ecv. Simeon, and In-other of Algernon Sidney, of our Class of 1784. He disap- 
 pears after this year, and re-appears in 1784 when the middle name is first given. See 
 Eecord of some of the descendants of Thomas Clarke of Plymouth, by Samuel C. Clarke. 
 
 ■^ The middle name S. appears in 1782. There are two John Osborns given this year, so 
 that though one name mar/ be a repetition of the other, it is hardly possible that this is 
 identical with tlie Jolin of 1779. 
 
 5 See Allen's Biographical Dictionary. The name of John Williams occurs twice this 
 year. In the first instance we suppose the boy identical with the Jonathan of the year 
 before ; in the second, a new boy entering this year, to be the one here given.

 his residence in West Claremont, N.H., Feb. 9, 1848, in the seventy-fourth year of his age. 
 He was born in Boston in 1774, and educated at the Latin School in this city. Soon after 
 his graduation from that institution, he studied medicine under his uncle. Dr. Charles 
 Jarvis, an eminent physician of Boston ; and on being admitted to practice he removed, 
 in 1797, to Claremont, to an estate purchased by his father of Hon. Sanford Kingsbuiy. 
 There he devoted himself to medicine and to agriculture ; and till his retirement from 
 practice about 1820, was one of the most eminent and successful practitioners in Cheshire 
 County. He was descended from a respectable famil}' in Massachusetts. His great grand- 
 father, Nathaniel Jarvis, born in 1668, emigrated from Wales to Boston, and mari-ied 
 Elizabeth Peabody, of Maine. He died in Boston in 1738, leaving three sons, Leonard, 
 John and Nathaniel. John moved to Connecticut, leaving numerous descendants in that 
 State, among whom were a former bishop of that diocese, his son, Rev. Dr. Jai-vis of Mid- 
 dletown, and Dr. George O. Jarvis, a distinguished physician of Portland, in that State. 
 Among the descendants of Nathaniel is Leonard Jai-vis, Esq., a merchant of Baltimore, 
 Avell known in that city for his wealth and liberalitj'. The other son, Leonard, born in 
 Boston in 1715, mai-ried Sarah Church, grand-daughter of Col. Church, distinguished in 
 the Indian wars, especially for the victory over King Philip, at Mount Hope."

 A manusoript note in Rev. E. E. Hale's 
 interleaved Catalogue, claims Dr. McKean 
 as a member of this Class, on the authority 
 of Alden'3 Biography. This biography we 
 cannot find. Mr. Hunt's Catalogue does not 
 give his name; the memoir of him by Dr. 
 Levi Hedge, (?/Iass. Hist. Soc. Coll'ns, second 
 series, vol. viii, \>. I.'i7,) and the notice of him 
 in Sprague's Annals, viii, 414, mention that 
 
 he was a pupil " at a public school in Bos- 
 ton," previous to 1787, but do not specify 
 this, and there seems no authority for put- 
 ting him here. A note from Mrs. Charles 
 ITolsom (his daughter) says : " Dr. McKean 
 was fitted at the Latin School." He could 
 have been here, if at all, only a very short 
 time. He was prepared for College at An- 
 dover, and entered in 1790, at the age of 
 little more than fourteen years. 
 
 Mrs. Folsom adds that when he had 
 reached a very advanced age, Mr. Hunt 
 was a frequent visitor at her father's house.

 - Under the year 1785, the date 20 Feb. 1786, appears against his name, at which time he 
 probably left. 3 See Historical Sketch of Massachusetts Lodge. 
 
 4 The middle name is given in the Catalogue of 1847. In 1789 his residence is given 
 as New Boston. See Whitman's History of Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company,

 5 This may be identical with Jonathan AVilliams, given under 1781, whom we there sup- 
 posed to have been confused with John of the year before, or like that, may be another 
 repetition of John of 1780. This confusion is explained perhaps by the custom of calling 
 boys named Jonathan by the shorter name of Jon, or the pet name of Jonny. See notes 
 under Classes of 1780 and 1781, 
 
 6 Recorded as John, admitted 2 May, 1785, but in 1785 given as Jonathan, another in- 
 stance, as we suppose, like tliat referred to under Williams, in the preceding Class. 
 
 7 b. 8 Dec. 1776. Entered college before he was fifteen. In 1789 his residence is given 
 as State Street. 
 
 Bishop Dehon, at the Boston Grammar School, was under the care of Mr. Hunt, who 
 expressed an exalted opinion of his talents and scholarship ; and was always speaking his 
 praise. One of his schoolfellows remembei-s that during the seven years he remained at

 this school, he was invariably at the head of his class, and that when he left the school, at 
 the age of fourteen years, he received the first honor, bein^ appointed to deliver the Eng- 
 lish oration. The teacher used often to remark that while some of his pupils seemed born 
 for obscurity, Theodore was born for eminence and distinction. "I always," said he, 
 "marked him for a great man, and thought he would arrive at what he did." 
 
 This seems to be from notes from one of the family. Essay on Dehon's Life, by D. 
 Gadsden, p. 4. See Drake's and Allen's Biographical Dictionaries ; Life by C. E. Gadsden ;

 Charles, Ileniy, and James Jackson, brothers, were admitted June 7; and Robert 
 Jackson was also admitted at the same time. He was another brother, and we suppose 
 identical with the Robert of 1782, who appears to have been out of the School in 1783, 
 and so we do not repeat his name. ' The middle name is first given in 1785. 
 
 6 In 1789 his residence is given as Beacon Street. 
 
 ^ The middle name is spelled by Mr. Hunt, Johonnct; we follow the us\ial spelling, and 
 that of the Harvard Quinquennial. In 1789 his residence is givin as Marlborough Street.

 The name of John Apthorp also ap-

 his age is given as 12^, which would 
 be the same as that of John T. Ap- 
 thorp of 1778, if the age there given 
 be correct, we suppose the two iden- 
 tical, and have omitted him; but we 
 may have been in error in so doing,

 the Algernon Sydney Howard of 1784; 
 that he left and re-entered. He was 
 a brother of John Clarke Howard of

 In his copy of Master Hunt's Catalogue, 
 Mr. DLxweHhas written the following note 
 under this Class : — 
 
 " No list for 1790 and 91, like the others, 
 appears to be registered. The admissions 
 are recorded at the end of the preceding 
 year, and an x is placed against the names 
 of those, seemingly, who wei'e withdrawn 
 in that year, by which data the following 
 reuiater of the next year has been composed. 
 It is approximately correct." 
 
 We have omitted the names given in pre- 
 vious years, and give the names of those 
 entering in this year from the list prepared 
 as thus described.

 Master Hunt in 1774 agreed to devote himself for life to teaching on condition of receiving 
 the same emoluments as Master Lovell. Accordingly the town voted him £30 as house rent 
 beside his salary. When he was transferred to the South Grammar School, he occupied 
 the house which Lovell had vacated, in lieu of the £30. 
 
 In 1790 he received a peremptory notice, still preserved, to remove, as the Selectmen were 
 about to pull down his house the next Monday. For that year he received a grant for rent, 
 yet no new agreement in regard to a dwelling was ever proposed to him.

 1791. An etTort was made at this time to reduce the course gradually to four years. 
 
 Committee reports that Latin boys (22) be tauglit writing in their own school. 
 
 Hunt's return, April, 1791, gives the names of 62 boys. 
 
 Nov. 8. In conference of blasters and Committee, Mr. Hunt said that a private school 
 was in his opinion quite incompatible with a public school. [Mauy of the mastei-s kept 
 private schools at the hours when they were not occupied in the public schools.] 
 
 After tho Class of 1791, on Mr. Hunt's Catalogue, as presci-ved by Mr. Dixwell, follows a 
 copy of a loose sheet which appears to be a return of the pupils to the School Committee in 
 1792, 3. It was probably made out and presented at the yearly visitation of the Committee 
 in Jtdy, (of that year) 1793, and it seems to us l)cst to give it for the suggestions it contains, 
 as it shows the difficulty the Committee lias latwrcd under in arranging the boys according; 
 to the years of entering, and helps somewhat to locate them in their classes.

 " Joseph Green Joy, probably our boy, died at Nahant, 1850 ; See Allen's Biog. Diet. 
 
 8 Thomas Farrington writing of him as in School at this time, says he was an Irish 
 boy who used to assist Dr. Matiguon at the Roman Catholic Church in Franklin St. 
 
 He is given on the old Catalogue, and but for that we should have no doubt that the name 
 of J. Malone given in that Catalogue as in the School in 1786 was intended for him, since 
 the latter name is not found in Hunt's Catalogue. We have retained Malone under the 
 line, only because the Committee by giving both names in 1847, seems to have intended to 
 refer to different individuals. 
 
 From the Records of the School Committee it appears that in 1792, the salary of the 
 Latin School Master was £200, and that of the Usher, £80.

 9 The middle name is from the Hai-vard Quinquennial. Son of Rev. Dr. Eckley and 
 brother of Joseph of 1794, and David of 1797. 
 
 10 We get the middle name from the Harvard Quinquennial. It is not unlikely that he 
 was named after Mrs. Hichborn's (his mother) first husband, who was accidentally killed 
 by her second. Mr. Hunt spells the surname Hitchbora. See Recollections of Samuel 
 Breck, p. 22.

 6 We get the middle name from the Catulo;:ue of 1847. Mr. Hunt does not give it. 
 On leaving iu 1799, he had the Salutatory and Valedictory Orations in Latin. See Drake's

 8 The middle name is given in the Catalogue of 1847 and the final s is omitted, as it is 
 in the Harvard Quinquennial. He was a brother of Isaac, whose name ap}>eai-s under the

 * The initial of the middle name A. appears in 1802. We take the name from the Harvard 
 Quinquennial. 
 
 5 Although the age does not quite con-espond, it is so near, that we think likely that 
 this is John Minot Fosdick, Dart. 1803, who died at Sing Sing, N. Y., in 1856, set 74, as 
 we find in Chapmaa's History of Graduates of Dartmouth, that he was born in Boston.

 1797. May 19. On the records of the School Committee of this date, it appears that a 
 petition of Mr. Samuel Hunt to the Town, for an allowance for house rent, was referred by 
 the Town to the School Committee for consideration. The Committee voted it did not 
 think it expedient to make any discrimination between the different Masters in the service 
 of the Town. 
 
 May 25. Mr. Hunt appeared and stated his reasons for asking this compensation for 
 rent, when the Committee voted to reconsider the vote of the last meeting, and to postpone 
 the subject untQ the compensation of the Masters for the year was considered. 
 
 Sept. 15. A letter from Mr. Hunt, praying for compensation for house rent having 
 been read, it was Voted : That the Selectmen be requested to inquire into the state of the 
 land in Braintree, bequeathed to the Town of Boston, for the support of the Grammar 
 School, (referred to in Mr. Hunt's communication) , and report thereon. 
 
 Dec. 1. Col. Thos. Dawes, Rev. Mr. West, Mr. Gray and Mr. Edwards were ap- 
 pointed a special committee to inquire into the facts stated in Mr. Hunt's application for 
 compensation for rent, etc. 
 
 The same day, Jona. Snelling was chosen Master of the Centre Writing School, a public 
 writing school kept in the same building as the Latin School.

 adds that he himself entered in 1799. He was astonished to remember the audacity of their

 1 Perhaps Nathaniel Henry Emmons who died in Boston in 1878, a^ed 82. He was a 
 Boston bo\', but his family have no knowledge of his ever havinjj attended our School. 
 He took the middle name Henry owing to the existence of another Nathaniel Emmons who 
 may have been, and in the opinion of Mr. Greenleaf below was, our boy. 
 
 2 Mr. Hunt's Catalogue says mereh- Price Greenleaf. The first name we have on his 
 own authority, for as these pages go to press (20 April, 1882) Ezekiel Price Greenleaf is the 
 oldest known living pupil of the Latin School. The Committee is in receipt of the follow- 
 ing letter from him : — 
 
 " No. 72 Waltham St., Boston, April 19, 1882. 
 " Rev. Henry F. Jenks. 
 
 " Dear Sir, — I was introduced by my grandfather, Ezekiel Price, who had been for many 
 years Chairman of the Selectmen, to Mr. Hunt, charged to his especial care early in ISOO; 
 at my entrance I was addressed by F. Parkman and ni}' brother, Thomas Greenleaf, who 
 were leaving the School for College, having past their examination. The head of the Class 
 was a son of Dr. Winship, I was the next, and John Scollay, grandson of Mr. Scollay of 
 the Board of Selectmen, the next. I forget the names of the othei-s, exccjit Doctor Towns- 
 end and his brother ; there were say, five others ; we were under the care of >rr. "Wells, I 
 believe afterwards a bookseller. I left for Quincy the next year, and tlicncc to Medford, 
 and after to Quincy. ••••»• 
 
 " Respectfully, 
 
 "Ezekiel Price Greenleaf." 
 
 Francis Parkman, mentioned above, was of our Class of 1800, Thomas Greenleaf was of 
 1792, and Doctor Townsend was Solomon D. of 1S03. 
 
 Tlirough liis maternal grandfather Ezekiel Price, mentioned in tlie Iclfer above, Ezekiel 
 Price (irceulcaf is a direct lineal descendant of Master Ezekiel Cliccvcr. 
 
 8 Undoubtcdlj' son of Rev. Samuel and bro. of Samuel of our Clnxs of ISOG, and perhaps

 in Marblehcad, 14 July, 1788. Clerk in countin;^ room of Daniel Sargent ; died 9 Aug. 
 Buried in the family tomb on the Common. 
 
 - According to the letter of Greenleaf given in the note on p. 136, son of Charles 
 Williams Windship of our Class of 1782, and perhaps father of Charles Windship of our 
 Class of 1823. In a note under the Class of 1782 will be found various ways in which this 
 name is spelled, to which may be added Windschip.

 In a note to Mr. E. S. Dixwell, dated 
 12 May, 1874, Mr. Andrews says his 
 older brother Isaiah Thomas Andrews 
 was also a member of the School at 
 the same time with himself, but his 
 name is nowhere on Mr. Hunt's Cata- 
 logue. 
 
 1 Brother of Jonathan, of our Class of 1802. Of course the names should be spelled 
 alike, and probably i is more correct than y ; but Mr. Hunt spells them as we give them. 
 
 2 Brother of David S. of our Class of 1800. 
 
 3 Rev. Dr. Watson says he was Captain of a Latin School Military Company. 
 
 4 Died 16 Aug. aged 82 years. 
 
 5 A son of Thomas of our Class of 1766. b. 14 May, 1794; died 27 Jan. His son 
 says he is pretty sure his father went to the Latin School. It is possible, however, that this 
 should be James Greenleaf, an older brother, b. 10 July, 1792, and drowned in Boston 
 Harbor, 18 July, 1815. See Wm. Dawes and his ride with Paul Revere, by H. W. Holland, 
 p. 70. No Christian name was given here by Mr. Andrews.

 Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society, 1867-9, p. 146, and 1869-70, p. 263. 
 
 8 Brother of Robert C. of our Class of 1812. Lived in New York City and died there. 
 
 9 Rev. Dr. Watson thinks he has an indistinct recollection of a Samuel Spear at the 
 School about this time. 
 
 10 The Christian names in this instance are given on the authority, not of Mr. Andrews, 
 but of Dr. Watson, who adds that he thinks he may have died early. He was a brother 
 of Thomas, below, and son of Judge W. who lived in Sudbury Street. 
 
 11 Dr. Watson says the name should be Welsh. He was son of Thomas. 
 
 12 Dr. Frothingham gives 1821 as the date of his death. 
 
CHAPTER V 
 
 1801-1805. 
 
 ojoic 
 
 The names in this chapter do not appear on Mr. Hunt's Catalogue, 
 although they are found on the Catalogue of 1847 under the years 
 liere given, which were during his administration. 
 
 They probably were assigned, on entering, to advanced classes, 
 and this would account for their omission on Mr. Hunt's register, 
 which for the last few years is quite "imperfect, giving only the 
 names of those who were received in the lowest class, instead of, as 
 earlier, a list of the whole membership for each year. 
 
 Possibly, however, they entered after Mr. Hunt's departure, and 
 were assigned by Master Blglow to classes which had entered under 
 Mr. Hunt; or they may have entered during jNIr. Thachcrs tem- 
 porary mastership of the School in 1805, between JNIr. Hunt and Mr. 
 Biglow, and thus escaped enrolment on the list of either. We are 
 somewhat inclined to the latter opinion, for though we have no list 
 of those entering under Mr. Thacher, we have a list (to be given in 
 a note under the next chajjter), of the boys in the School when ^Ir. 
 Biglow took charge of it, on which some of the names appear, with 
 Mr. Thacher mentioned as their previous instructor.

 in the Catalogue of 1847, but on the

 they have themselves recorded that 
 they entered in 1806; so as they are 
 not on Mr. Hunt's Catalogue, we have 
 placed them under that year. They 
 may have been advanced to the Class 
 entering in this. Alba Hayward is

 •* Rev. J. L. Watson, D. D., of onr Class of 1805, records a reminiscence of some mem- 
 bers of this Class, as follows : " I remember very well a dialogue taken from the ' American 
 Art of Speaking,' or some such name, between Dr. Never-out, Dr. Doubty, Longhead and 
 another character, in which B. L. "Weld Avas Dr. Never-out ; Dr. Edward Reynolds was Dr. 
 Doubty ; George E. Head was Longhead ; and N. L. Frothingham the other character. 
 At a rehearsal Head, whose duty it was to horsewhip or cane Frothingham, did it so much 
 in earnest, that Frothingham cried out, ' Oh, George, you hurt.' " 
 
 5 "We insert this name on the authority of "Wm. T. Andrews, his younger brother, of our 
 Class of 1804, q. v., and of Dr. "Watson of our Class of 1805, who says he remembers him 
 here. 
 
 6 A Samuel Snelling, probably the father of the present, appears at the North Grammar 
 School in 1773 (ae 8), in 1774 and 1775. 
 
 " Bi'Other of Dr. John C. Warren of our Class of 1786. 
 
 8 Son of John West, the bookseller. Warren and West were fitted for College at Dr. 
 Gardiner's private school, says Dr. Watson.

 13 The Christian name, omitted in the Catalogue of 1847, is inserted here on the authority 
 of Dr. Wat,son. 
 
 n The Christian name is inserted on Dr. Hale's interleaved Catalogue, and coufirmed by 
 a letter from Ebenezer Thayer, of our Class of 1806. 
 
 15 A letter on file from William Hayden, of our Class of 1807, says the Christian narao 
 was Su]>ply, tlie same as anotlier S. C. Tliwiiig who was alive in 1847, previous to which 
 time this S. C. had died, and Dr. Watson writing of Samuel Clap Thwing, adds, "Supply 
 Clap Thwing was a cousin, and not many years ago reminded me that he was at the Latia 
 School," but we have no other authority for inserting this nuuie, and so have not done it.

 1 No Christian name appears in the Catalogue of 1847. Although members of his family 
 say Lynde M. never went to the School, Gen. Henry K. Oliver, of our Class of 1810-11, 
 says he certainly remembers him as a school-mate, and (May, 1882,) declares it would be 
 more of a mistake to omit than to insert his name. Perhaps William Bicker "Walter, who 
 appears in the Class of 1808, may have been intended. Mr. Greenough's interleaved Cata- 
 logue suggests William, which would confirm the supposition. 
 
 2 Rev. Dr. Watson sends the names of several boys whom he remembers as school- 
 mates, but as we do not find them elsewhere recorded as at our School, we think they must 
 have been with him either at Master Pemberton's school which he attended after leaving 
 this, or at Nicholas Faucon's evening school in Newbury Street. We insert them, how- 
 ever, in the hope that by doing so, we may gain further information by which we can 
 determine definitely whether they should be put upon our list or not. 
 
 May, 1882. Eev. Dr. Watson having just revised this list, writes, that of most of these 
 he feels reasonably sure, and of those marked t quite certain.

 5 There is probably very little doubt that this Christian name, omitted in the Catalogue 
 of 1847, is correctly inserted here. An older brother, Nathaniel Hurd Furness, who died 
 in 1872, is supposed to have been a pupil of our School, but as he left school in 1806, 
 must have been in an earlier Class, if here at all. His name is not found on any list.

 1 In the Boston Journal of Wednesday, May 17th, 1882, as these pages were poing 
 through the press, appeared an autobiographical notice, dated Dec. 3, 1881, of Jairus Lin- 
 coln, who died in Northborough, Mass., on the Friday before. May 12th, in which he 
 says : " I was fitted for College at the Latin School by William Bitrlow, and entered Har- 
 vard College 1810, the same year that Dr. Kirkland was chosen President of that institu- 
 tion I was born in Boston Apr. 16, 1794. W^hen I was six years old I witnessed 
 
 the funeral procession of George Washington ; and at the age of i>erfn I entered the Eng- 
 lish School, standing where the City Hall now stands, and subsequently the Latin School, 
 which stood where the Parker House now stands." 
 
 2 He was captured in the Chesapeake according to Mr. Ilaydcn's letter, referred to above. 
 8 When at School, lived in a house opposite Little, Brown and Co.'s present (1882) pub- 
 lishing liouse. * This name is inserted to correspond with the list in note to p. 142. 
 
 6 Perhaps a younger brother of .Vndrew G. of our Class of 1S05. — .1. L. W. 
 
 6 The Catalogue of 1847 says, afterwards Jolin Temple James Bowdoin, which is an error. 
 His Memoir, (Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll. 3d scries, ix. 224,) says he was a pupil of our School. 
 At his death, his brother, John Temple Winthrop, Harv. 1815, (probably a pupil of our 
 School, as some of our older living pupils think they remember him here, and perhaps of 
 this Class, though we have no record to justify placing him in it) in nccordanrc with the 
 Will of the founder of Bowdoin College, dropped the name of Winthrop, adding in i:< 
 place that of James Bowdoin. See Whitman's Hist. A. and II. Art. Co. 2<\ edit. p. 407. 
 
 7 The middle name we obtain fmm Kev. Dr. Watson, who says he went to College, but 
 never graduated, and died soon after 1822. He had three brothers— Henry, of 17W; 
 Stephen, of 1805; and Edward, and lived at the corner of Allston and Middlecot Streets. 
 
 8 Mr. C. Hickling, of our Class of 1810-11, writes : "He lived near the "green stores ' on 
 the Neck. His family name was pronounced Doll. He came into School late one morn- 
 ing with Jack Wood, and the monitor cried out, ' Wood an' Doll tartly,' which cii-ated a 
 general smile." * Dr. Watson says he was the son of a sailmaker, and lived on Fort Hill.

 2 We add this name on the authority of the list given in the note on p. 142, which men- 
 tions a Kuhn 2d, and of Dr. Watson, Avho remembers a John Kiihn at the School, a cousin 
 of George H. above, and son of John Kuhn, a tailor, to whose business he succeeded. 
 
 3 Dr. Watson says he was an Episcopal clergyman.

 7 Son of Dr. Spooner, and brother of William Jones S. of our Class of 1805, 
 
 8 Son of Samuel and lived in South Street. — J. L. W, 
 
 9 Probably a brother of Dr. John C. Warren, of our Class of 1786. The Catalogue of 
 1847 gives a middle name Henrj', which is incorrect, if our identification is not wrong. 
 
 10 According to the list in the note on p, 142, q. v. another Wells entered Sept. 1807. 
 
 11 We had questioned whether the Christian name here, which was omitted in the Cata- 
 logue of 1847, might not be John Adams, Harv. 1820, but in the memoranda of Dr. Watson, 
 we find a William, brother of Robert above, and on that authority we insert the name. 
 
 1- The Catalogue of 1847 says : " There is a Manuscript Catalogue of the Scholars May 
 12, 1808, with the times of entrance between that time and April, 1805." This is probably 
 the list published in the note on p. 142.

 fi The Christian name, omitt«d in the Catalogue of 1847, was suggested by Ebenezer

 II This name, omitted on the Catalogue of 1847, is inserted here on the authority of his 
 brother, John T. Prince, who says (18S2) that though uncertain of the year of liis entrance, 
 he remembers him to have been a pupil of Mr. IJiglow. At this time he would have been 
 about seven years old, which, though young, is not younger than many entered, as we have 
 seen in Mr. Hunt's Catalogue.

 name is supplied by Mr. Thos. H. Perkins. n Brother of Jonathan G. above. 
 
 l!* Dr. Watson says lie was a nephew of Rev. Dr. Walter of Christ Chuix-h. He adds, 
 "Mr. Biglow used often to administer a dose of his ' Dr. Busby ' to him, and at tlic same 
 time with a grim kind of jocoseness repeat for his beuclit the following jingle : 'Walter, 
 Walter, if you don't alter, you'll come to tiie halter.' "

 1 Hon. H. K. Oliver, the night that he presided at the annual dinner of the Latin School 
 Association, (Nov. 10, 1880,) told a story of meeting him a short time before, and calling 
 him by the name which he had dropped years previously, to his infinite surprise. 
 
 2 Dr. Watson says this could not have been Adolphus Eugene Watson, Harv. 1820, A.M., 
 died 1376, his youngest brother, whose name has been inserted on Dr. Hale's interleaved 
 Catalogue, and in addenda to the edition of the Catalogue in 1847, and was suggested by 
 Dr. Furness, as he was never at the Latin School. 
 
 3 This name was printed Woods in the Catalogue of 1847, bu't Mr. Charles Hickling, of 
 this Class, says it should be Wood, as he was a brother of John above. 
 
 4 Not in the Catalogue of 1847, but inserted by Rev. E. E. Hale, D.D., in his manuscript 
 Catalogue, and in addenda to the edition of the Catalogue in 1847. 
 
 5 See Proceedings of Massachusetts Historical Society, 1881-3, p. 298 ; also Appendix, 
 "The regular course of studies, the yeai-s of academical and professional education, have 
 
 not yielded me better facts than some idle books under the bench at the Latin School." — 
 Emerson s Essays. 
 
 6 Perhaps identical with the Gibbs of the Class of 1810-1811. Dr. Farley, of that Class, 
 thinks Samuel Gibbs had no middle name. 
 
 7 Is he George Manson Banners, Yale, 1823, A.M., M.D. 1827 ? 8 Died soon after 1830. 
 9 This name was not on the Catalogue of 1847. It is entered on Dr. Hale's Catalogue, 
 
 and in addenda to the Catalogue of 1847. He was a brother of Isaac, of our Class of 1805.

CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1814-1828. 
 
 o>»:o 
 
 The chapter corresponding to this in the Catalogue of 1847, ex- 
 tended from 1814-1836, and a note stated that as far as 1824 it was 
 "made up mostly from Mr. Gould's printed catalogues from 1819 to 
 1824, and from the School records of those who finished the whole 
 course." It has seemed better to divide it, so as to make a separate 
 chapter of Mr. Gould's administration, as was done in the case of 
 Mr. Biglow's. Most of the changes in names in this chapter, of 
 which there are several, are made on the authority of the owners 
 themselves, or members of their immediate families, from whom 
 the Committee has received much assistance. As the letters from 
 these sources contain much interesting matter, for which there is not 
 room in this volume, they have been filed among the archives of the 
 Association.

CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1828-1837. 
 
 During the time embraced in this Chapter, Mr. Leverett and Mr. 
 Dillaway Avere Head Masters of the School. As the term of each 
 was short, and there is no sj^ecial reason for separating the pupils who 
 entered under one from those entering under the other, it has seemed 
 best to the Committee to embrace in this Chapter the remainder of 
 what was contained in Chaj^ter IV of the Catalogue of 1847, and to 
 begin, as in that, a new chapter with the commencement of the mas- 
 tership of Mr. Dixwell.

 Chapter V of the Catalogue of 1847 begins with the Class of 
 1837, the first to enter the School under the Mastership of Mr. 
 Dixwell, and ends with the Class which entered the year of the 
 publication of that volume. A note to the chapter says it "is taken 
 from the present School Register, in which the names are placed 
 under the year in which each pupil entered the School." As the 
 same source of information has been used by the Committee in com- 
 piling this continuation of the Catalogue from 1847 to the present 
 time, and will probably be used by future Committees in the prepar- 
 ation of subsequent editions, as they are required, it has seemed best 
 from this point to embrace in a single chapter all the Classes since 
 the beginning of Mr. Dixwell's Mastership.

 While these pages have been passing through the press we have found in 
 tlie History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company the names of 
 the following Boston boys. 
 
 Several of them were graduates of Harvard College, and if prepared at 
 school it seems not unlikely that they were our boys, and that their names 
 might with reasonable probability be added to those given beneath the line in

 ACCIDENCE, 
 
 The book most generally associated with introduction 
 the name of Cheever is "The Accidence." '' ° *"' 
 
 This lie WTOte, it is supposed, while he was in L A T I K TONGUE: 
 New Haven . A f ac-simile of the title-page of 
 the eighteenth edition is shown lierewith. 
 
 The Rev. William Bontley, D. D., of Salem 
 [1759-1819], thus speaks of it in his "Notes 
 for an Address on Education." 
 
 "His Accidence was the wonder of the 
 age, and though, as his biographer and pupil 
 Dr. Cotton Mather observed, it had not ex- 
 cluded the original grammar, it passed 
 through eighteen editions Ijeforc the Revolu- 
 tion, and had been used as generally as any 
 elementary work ever known. The familiar 
 epistles of this master to his son, minister of 
 lilarblehead, are all woi-thy of the age of Eras- 
 mus, and of the days of Ascham." 
 
 " Before Mr. Clievcr's Accidence obtained, Mr. John Brinsloy's method had 
 obtained, and this was published in 1611, tln-ee y<'ars before Chever w:is 
 born. It is in (pit'stiun ami answer, and was undoubti-dly known to Cliever, 
 who has availed himself of the exjjression, Inil has most ingeniously reduced 
 it to the form of his Accidence, 1:54 small 4to i)ages. to 79 small 12mo. with 
 the addition of an excellent Table of Irregular ^'erbs from the great work of 
 the days of Roger Aseham."

 which was the subject of the successive labor and improvement of a man 
 who spent seventy years in the business of instruction, and whose fame is 
 second to that of no schoolmaster Nbav England has ever produced, requires 
 no additional testimony to its worth or its merits." Samuel "Walker says : " I 
 have carefully revised and corrected the ancient and useful elementary Latin 
 manual, compiled and successfully used by one of New England's earliest 
 and best literary friends, — Ezekiel Cheever. His Latin Accidence, which 
 Avas the favorite little book of our youthful days, has probably done more to 
 inspire young minds with the love of the study of the Latin language, than 
 any other work of the kind, since the first settlement of this coimtry. I have 
 had it in constant use for my pupils, whenever it could be obtained, for more 
 than fifty years ; and have found it to be the best book for beginners, in the 
 study of Latin, that has ever come within my knowledge ; and no work of 
 the kind have I ever known, that contains so much useful matter in so small 
 a compass." Rev. Thaddeus M. Harris says : — " I have examined and used 
 various Latin grammars which possessed much merit for ingenious analysis

 of Prof. David Williams Cheever, M.D., of Boston.

 and copious illustration ; some of which liavo proved, and must continue to 
 prove, guides and helps of essential importance to the scholar and teacher ; 
 but I know of no elementary work so well calculated for the beg'inner as 
 Cheever^s Accidence, — pre-eminently i)erspicuous, concise, and comprehen- 
 sive."

 It was again printed in 1774. The title- 
 page bears this imprint: "Boston: | 
 Printed by Ezekiel Russell, next the

 then, "The following Sermon, ] on the

 In 1828 the Rev. Ezekiel Cheever Whit- 
 manf published an Abridgment of the 
 Corderius Americanus. In tlie words of 
 the title-page, it was "somewhat abridged, 
 by omitting the Latin phrases, etc., etc., and by an attempt to render the lan- 
 guage throughout more perspicuous and energetic." It was printed in 
 Boston by " Dutton & Wentworth, Nos. 1 «& 4 Exchange Street, 1828," and 
 had for a frontispiece a fac-simile of the " Carmen Genethliacon," or Birth- 
 day Ode to the Princess Mary, fi*om the Cheever manuscript in the Boston 
 Athenaeum, and some poems in Greek and Latin from the same manuscript.

 Duty to the Merit aud Memorj' of my Departed Masteie, Is now in ita Opera- 
 tion. The Fifth Commnmlfnt well considered will demand such a Duty. When 
 Quirinus made a Marble Monument for his Master, there was this Effect of it, 
 Invisunl Locum t'^tudiosi J uvencs frequenter, ut hoc Extmplo Edocti, quantum 
 Discipuli ipsi ]}raeceptoribus suis debeaut, perpetuo meminisse velint. Scholars 
 that saw it, Learnt from the Sight what Acknowledgroents were due from 
 Scholars to their Masttrx. I wish my little feeble Essmj for Mine, may in any 
 measure animate the Gratitude of any Scholars to tlieir Well-deserving Tutors. 
 
 A due Care about a Funeral for the Dead, among tlie Jeirn had that Phrase for 
 it; A Bestowing of Mercy. But the Sermon which I have Employ'd on the 
 Funeral of my Master, must be called; A Doing of Justice. And I am very 
 much misinformed, if this were not the General Voice of all the Auditory. 
 
 Perfection in this Life, is to be Despaired of, must not he prtended to. • • 
 * * * * We must not wonder at it then, if the Best of our Masters be thought 
 attended with their Imperfections. Whatever mine might have, they are hurid. 
 And we generally concur in acknowledging, That Xew-England has nerer knoinn, 
 a better. I am sure, I liave as much Reason to appear for him, as ever Crito for 
 his Master Socrates. 
 
 The Short History of his Long Usefulness, is to be comprized in the Ensuing 
 Articles: 
 
 He was Born in London, many years before the Birth of ycic-England. It 
 was Jan. 2o. 1614. 
 
 He arrived into this Country, in June 1637. with the rest of those Good men, 
 who sought a peaceable Secession in an American Wilderness, for the pure 
 Evangelical, and Instituted Worship of our Great Redeemer; to which he kept a 
 strict Adherence all his Days. He then Sojourned first a little while, part of a 
 Year, at Boston ; so that at Boston, he both Commenced and Concluded his 
 American Race. His Holy Life, was a Married Life. 
 
 He began the Laborious Work of a ;§)cbooI.-jEQa^trr, at Neio-haven; where 
 he continued for Txcehe Years. 
 
 From New-haven, he removed unto Ipswich, in December, 1650. where he 
 Laboured Eleven Years. 
 
 From Ipsioich, heremoved to Charlstown, in November, 166L where he 
 Laboured Nine Years. 
 
 From Charlstoton, he came over to Boston, Jan. 6, 1670. where his Labours were 
 continued for Eight & Thirty Years. 
 
 He Died, on Saturday morning, Aug. 21. 170*^. In the Ninety Fourth Year of 
 his Age; After he had been a Skilful, Painful, Faithful Schoolmaster, for Seventy 
 Years; And had the Singular favour of Heaven, that tlio' he had Usefully spent 
 his Life among Children, yet he was not become Twice a Child; but held his 
 Abilities, with his Usefulness, in an unusual Degree to the very last. 
 
 In the sermon he says : 
 
 "ScuooL-5iASTKi:.s tliat have Used the Office well, purchase to themselves, a 
 Good Esteem to Out-live their Death, as well as Merit for themselves a goo«l 
 Support while thoy Lice. 'Tis a justice to them, that they should be had in ever- 
 lasting liemembranrc; and a Place and a Name among those Just men does 
 particularly belong to that Ancient and Honourable Man; a Master in our Israel; 
 who was with us, the last Time of my Standing here; but is lately Translated 
 unto the College of Blessed Spirits, In tlie Mansions, M'here the Fiiwr Resuruec-

 Worthy men, Requisiti sunt in Acadeiniam C(elestem.^^ 
 
 t( Yerrius the Master to the N'ephews of Aiirjustus, had a Statue Erected for 
 him; And Antoninus obtained from tlie Senate, a Statue for his Master Fronto. 
 I am sorry that Mine has none. And Cato counted it more glorious than any 
 Statue, to have it asked. Why has he JVone f But in the grateful Memories of 
 his Scholars, there have been and will be Hundreds Erected for him." 
 
 "Under him we Learnt an Oration, made by Tully, in praise of his own 
 Master; namely that. Pro Archia Poeta. A Par/an shall not out-do us, in our 
 Gratitude unto our Master. There was a famous Christian in the Primitive 
 Times, who wrote a whole Book, in praise of his Master Ilierotheus; Entituling 
 it, UsfJi TOO iiaxaptorj Iipodto'J Concerning the Blessed Hierotheus. And 
 if I now say a few things. Concerning the Blessed Cheever, no man who thinks 
 well of Gratitude, or likes well to see the Fifth Commandment observed, will 
 censure it." 
 
 " In the Imx)erial Laio, we read, that Good Grammarians, having taught with 
 diligence Twenty Years, wei'e to have Special Honour conferr'd upon them. I 
 Challenge for my master, more than a Treble portion of that Special Honour. 
 But, Oh, Let it all pass thro' him, uj) to the Glorious Lord, who made him to be 
 "What he was I" 
 
 " His Eminent Abilities for the Work, wliicli rendred him so long Useful in 
 his Generation, were imiversally acknowledged. The next Edition of Tran- 
 quillus de Claris Grarninaticis, may well enough bring him into the Catalogue, 
 and acknowledge him a Master. He was not a 2Ieer Grammarian; yet he was a 
 Pwe One. And let no Envy Misconstrue it, if I say. It was noted, that when 
 Scholars came to be Admitted into the Colledge, they who came from the 
 Cheeverian Education, were generally the most unexceptionable. What Excep- 
 tion shall be made, Let it fall upon him, that is now speaking of it." 
 
 "He flourished so long in this Great Work, of bringing our Sons to be Men, 
 that it gave him an opi)ortunity to send forth many Bezaleels and Aholiabs for 
 the Service of the Tabernacle; and Men fitted for all Good Employments. He 
 that was my Master, Seven and Thirty Years ago, was a Master to many of my 
 Betters, no less than Seventy Years ago; so long ago, that I must even mention 
 my Fathers Tutor for one of them." 
 
 " And as it is written for the Lasting Kenown of the Corderius, whose 
 Colloquies he taught us; That the Great Calvin had been a Scholar to him; So 
 this our American Corderius had many Scholars that were a Crown mito him; 
 yea, many that will be his Croion, in the Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at 
 his Coming; yea, many that were got into the Heavenly World before him. 
 And the mention of the Heavenly World, leads me to that which I would prin- 
 cipally take notice of. His Piety, I say. His Piety; and his care to infuse 
 Documents of Piety into the Scholars under his Charge, that he might cany 
 them with him to the Heavenly World. When Aristotle set up a Monument 
 for his Master Plato, he inscribed upon it, this Testimony, He was one whom 
 
 ALL GOOD MEN OUGHT TO IMITATE, AS AVELL AS TO CELEBRATE. My MASTER 
 
 went thro' his Hard Work with so much Delight in it, as a Work for God and 
 Christ, and His People: He so constantly Pray'd with us eveiy Day, and 
 Catechis'd us every Week, and let fall such Holy Counsels upon us; He took so 
 many Occasions, to make Speeches imto us, that should make us Afraid of Sin, 
 
274 PUBLIC L-VTIX SCHOOL. 
 
 and of incurring the fearful Judgments of God by Sin; That I do propose him 
 for Imitation." 
 
 The sermon concludes as follows: " Ye hate heard, what my siaster was, In 
 the School. Sir Walter liaiclci'jh commends it as a piece of wisdom, to use 
 great moderation when we are treating men with Commendation. I will not 
 forget the Rule, in carrying on my Commendation of mi/ Manter. But I will say 
 very much in a Little. Out of the School, he was One, Ayitiqua Fide, prisris 
 moribus; A Christian of the Old Fashion : An Old Xkw Exglisu Cuuistlvx: 
 And I may tell you. That was as Venerable a Sight, as the World, since the 
 Days of Primitite Christianity, has ever look'd up on." 
 
 " He was well Studied in the Body of Bitinity: An Able Defender of the 
 Faith and Order of the Gospel; Notably Conversant and Acquainted with the 
 Scriptural Prophecies ; And, by Consequence, A Sober Chiliast. 
 
 "He Lived as a ila.'iter, the Term, which has been for above three thousand 
 years, assign'd for the Life of a Man; he continued mito the Ninety Fourth 
 year of his Age, an imusual instance of Litelinesti. His Intellectual Force, as 
 little abated as his Xatural. He exemplified the Fulfillment of that word, 
 As thy Days, so shall thy Strength be ; in the Gloss which the Jerusalem Targum 
 has put upon it; As thou wast in the Dayes of thy Youth, such thou shall be in 
 thy Old Age. The Reward of his Fruitfulness ! For, Fructus Liberal Arborem ! 
 The product of Temperance ; Rather than what my Lord Verulam assigns, as a 
 Reason for Vivacious Scholars." 
 
 "Death must now do its part. lie I>y\l, Longing for Death. Our old 
 SiMEOX waited for it, that he might get nearer to the Consolation of Israel, lie 
 Dyed Leaning lilie Old Jaco'i, upon a Staff; the Sacrifice and the liighteousntss 
 of a Glorious Christ, he let us know, was the Golden Staff, which he Lean'd 
 upon. lie Dyed mourning for the Quick Apostasie, which he saw breaking in 
 upon us; very easie about his own Eternal Happiness, but full of Distress for a 
 poor People here imder the Displeasme of Heaven, for Former Iniquities, he

 THE First Resurrection. And Verily, oiu* Land is "Weakened, when those

 And had a sort of Turkish Mutes become. 
 Were Grammar quite Extinct, yet at his Brain 
 The Candle might have well been lit again.

 We Learn't Good Things in Tv.lUes Offices ; 
 But we from him Learn't Better things than these.

 But us from Virgil did to Datid train,

 PauU too we heard; we went to School at Paids. 
 
 Syrs, Do you not Remember well the Times, 
 When us he wam'd against our Youthful Crimes: 
 What Honey dropt from our old Xestors mouth 
 When with his Counsels he Keform'd our Youth: 
 How much he did to make us ll7.se and G<}tid ; 
 And with what Prayers, his work ho did conclude. 
 Concern'd that when from him we Learning had. 
 It might not Armed Witkidn>ss be made ! 
 The .S'i(/i shall first tho Zodiac forsake, 
 And Stones unto the Stars their Flight shall make; 
 
First shall the Summei' bring large drifts of Snoio, 
 And beauteous Cherries in December grow; 
 E're of those Charges we Forgetful are 
 Which we, O Man of God, from thee did hear. 
 
 Such Tutors to the Little Ones would be. 
 
 Such that in Flesh we should their Angels see; 
 
 Ezekiel should not be the Name of such ; 
 
 We'd Ayathangelus not think too much. 
 Who Serv'd the School, the Church did not forget; 
 But Thought, and Pray'd, and often wept for it. 
 Mlfjhty in Prayer : How did he wield thee, Pray'r! 
 Thou Reverst Thunder: Christ' s-Sides-piercing Spear ? 
 Soaring we saw the Bird qf Paradise ; 
 So Wing'd by Thee, for Flights beyond the Skies. 
 How oft we saw him tread the Milky Way, 
 Which to the Glorious Throne of Mercy lay! 
 
 Come from the Mount, he shone with ancient Grace, 
 Awful the Sjylendor of his Aged Face. 
 Cloath'd in the Good Old Way, his Garb did wage 
 A War with the Vain Fashions of the Age. 
 Fearful of nothing more than hateful Sin ; 
 'Twas that from which he laboured all to win, 
 Zealous; And in Truths C(a<8e ne'r known to trim; 
 No Neuter Gender there allow' d by him. 
 Stars but a Thousand did the Ancients know; 
 On later Globes they Nineteen hundred grow : 
 Now such a Cheever added to the Sphere; 
 Makes an Addition to the Lustre there. 
 
 Mean time America a Wonder saw; 
 A Youth in Age, forbid by Natures Law. 
 
 You that in t'other Hemisphere do dwell. 
 Do of Old Age your dismal Stories tell. 
 You tell of Snoioy Heads and Bheumy Eyes 
 And things that make a man himself despise. 
 You say, b, frozen Liquor chills the Yeins, 
 And scarce the Shadow of a Man remains. 
 Winter of Life, that Sapless Age you call. 
 And of all Maladies the Hospital : 
 The Second Nonage of the Soul ; the Brain 
 Cover'd with Cloud; the Body all in pain. 
 To weak Old Age, you say, there must belong 
 And Trembling Palsey both of Limb and Tongue ;

 The following appeared in the Boston Weekly News LEXTEn, from 
 Thursday, Jan. 5th, to Thursday, Jan. 12tli, 1738: "Boston. Last Tuesday 
 in the afternoon died here the Reverend and Learned Mr. Nathaniel Williams, 
 a Gentleman who has been a faitliful and upright Servant in his generation ; 
 being for many Years Master of the South Grammar School in this Town 
 which difficult and important Business he discharged with great Industry 
 and Fidelity ; and as he was by the Blessing of GOD a very skilful and 
 successful Physician, so he was very much iraployed and approved among 
 us. As his Life has been very extensively serviceable, so his Death is 
 esteemed as a publick loss." 
 
 The following is the extract from the funeral sermon of the Rev. Thomas 
 Prince, referred to in the text : — 
 
 Nathaniel Williams was born in Boston August 25th 1675 of Pious parents, his 
 father a deacon of this church and his mother a sister of the late Honourable 
 Daniel Oliver Esq. he received their gracious Spirit ; and improved under their 
 religious influence and the happy Ministry and Life of the Reverend Mr. Willard, 
 for whom he had the highest Veneration, and he aspired to be like them. 
 
 In his early days he gave himself to his Creator: at fourteen years of Age, July 
 1689, he entered the School of the Prophets: and as he advanced in Knowledge he 
 grew in Wisdom and in Favour with God and Man. 
 
 Being well accomplished for the work of the ministry, He waa ordained an 
 Evangehst in the College Hall, for one of the West India islands (in 1G9S). But 
 the climate not agreeing with his constitution. He soon retmned to this his native 
 City, where He was first employed by several Gentlemen to instruct their sons in 
 leammg; and soon after introduced into the government of the tlun only Pitfilirk 
 and Free Grammar School of this Great Town, the Principal School of the British 
 Colonies, if not of all America. Here he displayed his singular talent for this 
 laborious and important service, being very dihgent and faithful : applying himself 
 to bring on the Children both in Virtue, Learning and good manners ; Praying 
 with them every Morning and Evening, instructing them in religious Principles, 
 especially on Saturdays, and affectionately recommending the Practice to them. 
 
 By an agreeable mixture of Majesty and sweetness, both in his Voice and Coun- 
 tenance, with a mild and steady conduct, He happily ruled them ; and was gener- 
 ally both reverenced and beloved among them. Here he spent the strengtli and 
 vigour of his Life, was a great and publick Blessing, and then he continued for 
 about Thirty Tears ; till his bodily Infirmities increasing, He to the sorrow of 
 many laid it down in 1734.

 The following is a portion of the poem written by Mr. Nathaniel Gardner, 
 and dated 1764, on the course of studies in tlje Latin School, referred to on 
 page 40 : — 
 
 Undecima, tandem, schola jam domittitur bora, 
 
 Laitentur magis an pueri, die, aunc magister ? 
 
Emicat, en pubes ! Iseta os, vaga Imnina laeta. 
 Nee mora longa — brevis requies spatiumqiie labori; 
 Prima hora pransos studiis campana remittit. 
 Ecce Maro primus ! crines lauroque deconis 
 Insignisque: tuba, bella, horrida bella ! sonantil 
 " Cedite, Romani scriptores! cedite Graii !" 
 Quis non attonitus videt heroasque deosque ? 
 Quern non pertentat flamma infelicis Elisae ! 
 Jiirgia pastorum, teneros vel ludatamores, 
 Vel dicat, " qufe cura boum, qui cultus habendo 
 Sit pecori: atque apibus quanta experientia parcis." 
 Quagcumque ille canit, canit omnia consule digna. 
 Salve, magne Maro ! tua dum, divina poeta ! 
 Scripta lego, ardescoque legens, scribensque tremisco. 
 O, flammse si parva tufe scintilla, tuseque 
 Particula, O Maro ! nunc mihi pectora tangeret aurse, 
 Altius insurgens animo, majora sonarem, 
 Dicerem et insigni Beverigi digna camoena.

 The following entries, concerning Mr. Lovell's imprisonment, are taken 
 from the Diaries of Peter Leach, and Edes, two of his fellow prisoners, 
 which have been kindly loaned us for the purpose by Henry H. Edes, Esq., 
 of Boston, who is their present owner. 
 
 [From Leach's Diary.] 
 
 June 29. They then conducted me from my house to the stone gaol, and after 
 being lodged there for 20 minutes, the said Cone and Loring brought in Master 
 James Lovell, after searching his papers, letters, &c., as they had done mine. 
 
 Aug. 15. Poor Mr. Lovell began to droop; he is very weakly. This night I 
 watched with Mr. Lovell. 
 
 Aug. 16. Mr. Lovell continues ill. 
 
 Aug. 18. Mr. Lovell received an answer from General Howe, to a letter he 
 wrote him. 
 
 Aug. 19. Mr. Lovell continues poorlye. 
 
 Aug. 20. Mr. Lovell very ill, which gives us great uneasiness. 
 
 Aug. 21. Mr. Lovell continues ill ; no compassion towards him any more than 
 a dog. We are all very much troubled for him, but cannot help him any other- 
 wise than by brotherly kindness and tenderness. 
 
 [From Edes's Diary.] 
 
 June 29. Masters Leach and Lovell were brought to prison and put into the 
 same room with me and my companion, 
 
 July 18. I was escorted by a strong guard of soldiers from the prison to Concert 
 Hall, with my room companions, which consisted of fom*, viz., James Lovell, 
 John Leach, John Hunt and William Starr. .... 
 
282 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 July 19. Escorted from prison again, witli the additional company of tliree 
 sailors, thieves and househreakers, surroimded by soldiers. The three sailors 
 examined, Mr. ITunt, Starr and myself were asked who prosecuted us, etc., and 
 one Captain Symmcs of the regulars was summoned by Major Moncrief, as an 
 evidence against Masters Lovell and Leach. Till this time we did not know our 
 crimes, or on what account we were committed, but now we found that Master 
 Lovoll was charged with being "a spy and giving intelli|i?ence to the rebels." 
 Leach, for being " a spy and suspected of taking plans." Mr. Hunt, for " speak- 
 ing treason." Mr. Starr and myself "for concealing fireanns." When Captain 
 SjTumes appeared, he was so ignorant of Masters Lovell and Leach that he took 
 one for the other, that instead of being a just evidence he appeared ashamed and 
 confounded, and went off. At two o'clock we were sent back to our stone edifice 
 under a strong guard. 
 
 Aug. 22. A hot day and night. Close confined. Dr. Elliot called at the gate 
 and spoke to Master Lovell. He says the provost ordered him not to come here 
 any more. We cannot go to see a minister, and are denied his coming to see us. 
 
 Aug. 31. Master Lovell had half a pound of fresh beef, being sick. 
 
 Oct. 1-2. Major Kemble came from the general with promise of relief, on 
 finding two men, inhabitants, to pass their words that we should not leave the 
 town. There was no bonds asked or given. This was offered to Mr. Gill, Mr. 
 Starr, Master Leach and myself. Nothing was said to Master Lovell, nor any 
 offer made him.

 Another pupil of Mr. Biglow, Mr. Robert Treat Paine, who entered the School 
 about October, 1813, when he was not far from eight years old, and found Mr. 
 Wainwright usher under Biglow, gave to the Rev. E. E. Hale of our Committee, 
 under date of April 22nd, 1847, some account of his experience there. He said: 
 He was examined for admission after summer vacation of 181.^, perhaps a few 
 weeks later. At that time the School was kept in Cole Lane, now Portland 
 Street, in an old barn near Dr. Greenwood's house, because the new building 
 was in progress on the School Street site. This lasted only two or three months. 
 The new School-house must have been finished in November — before Biglow 
 left. 
 
 The disorder through the few months that Biglow remained was atrocious. He 
 remembers a boy firing a pistol under the form in the upper room in the new 
 School-house, near the middle window on the side next Cook's Court. He also 
 speaks of seeing through that window, the rocking of Old South Spire in the 
 October gale, 1815. 
 
 Biglow used to pretend to watch a recitation with one eye and the School witli 
 the other, keeping his hand edgewise up his face to separate the two. 
 
 Before going to the Latin School Mr. Paine went to Mr. J. Snelling to learn to 
 write. This was in Court Square. The scene there was a iwrfect farce of teach- 
 ing. There was no sort of instruction. J. S. told the whole School, when 
 School began to write four lines. If, in looking round, he found any one had 
 written his lines before the time (immense) was over, he '• thrashetl him" for 
 writing too fast. If he had written none he whipped for laziness. But this was 
 
APPENDIX. 283 
 
 only with beginners — for more experienced youngsters wrote two lines and then 
 began their fun — which was unlimited and almost unrestricted, and -nTote the 
 next two at the close of the exercise. When the copies were done they all passed 
 in procession with them through a narrow gangway — quite equivalent to running 
 the gauntlet, as J. S. stood ready for a blow with a word. Paine was there six 
 or eight weeks to write a little. 
 
 J. 
 
 In 1784 and for a long time after tliere were no schools, public or private, 
 for girls in Boston. 
 
 " The only schools in the city to which girls were admitted, were kept by the 
 teachers of public schools, between the forenoon and afternoon sessions, — these 
 teachers were uneducated men, selected for their skill in penmanship and the 
 elements of arithmetic. The schools were called •wTiting schools." — Wm. B. 
 Fowle, in Am, Jour, of Educ, Yol. 5, -p. 327. 
 
 " Boys had been admitted into the Latin School at the early age of seven years, 
 on the mistaken idea that the very yoimg are best qualified to learn a dead 
 language, as they undoubtedly are to learn a spoken one. The age was increased 
 to ten years by the new system, but, as before, no provision was made in the 
 Latin School for their instruction in English, in penmanship, or in any of the 
 common branches. To remedy this serious defect, the Latin scholars were 
 allowed to attend the writing schools two hom-s, forenoon or afternoon, and 
 about thirty availed themselves of the privilege, although they were obliged to 
 neglect one school to attend the other, and unpuuctuality and disorder in all the 
 schools were the natural consequence." 
 
 " The prohibition to teach private schools does not appear to have been of long 
 continuance ; for, although the records do not show that the order was repealed, 
 these intermediate private schools were common early in the present century, 
 and permission to the Latin scholars to attend the writing schools was withdrawn. 
 The teacher of the Latin School, in connection with a writing master, kept a 
 private English school in the Latin school-room, while the writer was a pupil 
 there, in 1808, and the writer himself attended a private school kept by a reading 
 master in another part of the town. Of course, it was a passport to favor in 
 every public school to attend the master's private school also, and those who 
 only went to the public school, were considered a somewhat inferior caste." — 
 Ibid., p. 330.

 The following Poem was read at the dinner of the Boston Latin School 
 Association in 1879, by Mr. Robert Grant. 
 
 I rise, Mr. President, horribly shy. 
 With a blush on my cheek and a timorous eye, 
 ' At the notion of rhyming to men who were schooled 
 By Lov ell's rattan and the ferule of Gould: 
 
284 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 Whose memories date from a time \shen the ark 
 Was considered a highly respectable bark, 
 And the hair of whose heads was beginning to thin in 
 Susceptible spots, when / wore baby linen : 
 
 Who can tell of school antics that beat mine all hollow, 
 And yams that we trj- with composure to swallow; 
 Who were Latin School boys, let me see, how long since ? 
 Not exactly B. C. We will say before Prince.* 
 
 But spite of your wisdom, and spite of my age, 
 
 One boast I can share with the hoariest sage 
 
 Who sits at this table and pegs at the bill ; 
 
 I'm a Latin School boy — I have been through the mill. 
 
 A child of eleven, both little and scared, 
 
 I was put into " Andrews and Stoddard's " and " Baird," 
 
 Supplied with a lexicon largo as my head, 
 
 And told to make friends with the tongues that are dead. 
 
 It seems to my fancy but yesterday noon 
 Since I, on a "pony," crossed Caesar's pontoon; 
 Since I learned how the heirs of a realm had the luck 
 To soften the heart of a wolf and get suck. 
 
 Dear dryad, sweet naiad, fair nymph of the grove, 
 Whom I courted in Ovid's loose leaves upon love, 
 I fain on the sly would encircle thy waist. 
 But thy garb is too scant for the popular taste. 
 
 O friends of my boyhood ! O pious Aeneas, 
 
 Dido, thou lovely but credulous, she ass ! 
 
 1 have not forgot you ; I have you at home, 
 
 And to-morrow I'll scatter the dust from your tome. 
 
 O years of my childhood! O days that, alack! 
 Forever are gone, and no prayer can bring back! 
 Your memories cling to this noddle of mine 
 As cobwebs encircle a flagon of wine. 
 
 Still chums in this brain, like the roar of the sea, 
 That moth-eaten " Burial March of Duuilee," 
 The fate of " Montrose," the " Lament of Glencoe," 
 And the rant of the raven who played it on Poe. 
 
 And he, our dear Master, who laid down the " lex," 
 And never looked through, but looked over his "specs," 
 Oh! who can forget him, our teacher and friend 1 
 (Especially those with a sensitive end). 
 
 • The IIou. Frederick O. Prince, a Latin School boy, of our Class of 1827, was the Mayor 
 of the City of Boston. 
 
Forever will gladden my fancy, I ween, 
 
 His dear old umbrella so stagnantly green, 
 
 His ancient surtout, and the quills that would squeak 
 
 When marking the dunces deficient in Greek. 
 
 He has gone, our old Master, to rest in the skies, 
 And bad boys can no more " pull wool over his eyes." 
 What sport to have heard him acknowledge the corn 
 When Gabriel whispered, "Well, Gardner, which horn ?" 
 
 O brothers, O boys, and in spite of their ciu-ls 
 And their kisses, I'm glad that I need not add, girls, 
 O resolute chips that have sprung from the block 
 Of our glorious patented Latin School stock, 
 
 I'll give you a toast, and you'll drink it, I know, 
 
 Both you whose thin tresses are white as the snow, 
 
 And you whose young hearts, it is fair to assume, 
 
 Like our stocks and our statesmen, are all on the *' boom." 
 
 It is not that long-standing bore, the " Old South," 
 And it ain't " Standing Bear," who is down in the mouth; 
 Nor that stately old chap with the almond-shaped eye, 
 The Harvard Celestial who hails from Shanghai. 
 
 'Tis, Our great public schools — may their influence spread 
 Until statesmen use grammar, and dunces are dead. 
 Until no one dares say, in this land of the free, 
 "He done," for " he did." or " it's her," for " it's she."

 When the new building in Warren Avenue was occupied by the School, it 
 was proposed that the Latin School Association should celebate the event 
 with appropi-iate ceremonies. A distinguished pupil of the School was in- 
 vited to deliver an address before the Association, and ex-Master Dixwell to 
 write a Latm Ode for the occasion. The expected orator proving unable to 
 comply with the request of the Committee, the idea of the celebration was 
 reluctantly abandoned. Mr. Dixwell, however, wrote the Ode, which was 
 read at the next meeting of the Latin School Association, and privately 
 circulated. The Committee has thought that Mr. Dixwell's kindness de- 
 serves grateful mention, and that the Ode should be preserved by being 
 printed here.

 The following exti'act is taken from the Records of the Boston School 
 Committee : — 
 
 Oct. 14th, 1822. A letter from a gentleman was read olTcring $50 as a 
 premium for the best scholar in the year 1823 in the Latin School and also in 
 the English Classical School. 
 To the Hon. John Phillips, Mayor, «&c. 
 
 Sir: I proposo with the concurrence of your honom* and the Board of Aldermen 
 at the annu.'il examination of the I'ublic Schools in Boston which take place in 
 182.J, to offer a gold modal of the value of $.'>0, with an appropriate devise and 
 inscription to be executed imder the direction of the Head Master of the Centre 
 
APPENDIX. 305 
 
 Latin School to the pupil of the said School who shall at that time be adjudged 
 by the School Committee and the principal Instructor to be the best scholar in 
 the School and whose conduct and deportment during the year preceding shall 
 have been such as to have evinced diligence in his studies, respect to his instruct- 
 ors and urbanity towards his associates. The said medal to be delivered to the 
 successful candidate at Faneuil Hall by the Mayor immediately before sitting 
 down to dinner on the day of the examination, and the occurrence with the 
 name of the juvenile Emeritus to be entered on the Kecords of the City. 
 
 I propose to offer at the same time and under the like circumstances a similar 
 donation of equal value to the first and most approved scholar from the English 
 Classical School in Derne St., the medal in this instance to be executed under the 
 direction of the principal master of that School. 
 
 Should these propositions meet the acceptance of yourself and the Board of 
 Aldermen I will make the needful deposit to ensure their being carried into 
 effect, and under this event, in order that the desired result of exciting an emula- 
 lation among the youth of our city to excel alike in application to their studies 
 and in the correctness of their deportment may be produced in a greater degree, 
 I beg leave further to suggest the expediency of a printed label in large type 
 struck off and posted in some conspicuous place in the School rooms, briefly 
 stating the prize which will be awarded and the conditions attached to its attain- 
 ment. 
 
 Another stipulation alone remains to be mentioned, which is, if the proposition 
 be accepted, that the name of the donor shall not be made public. 
 With great respect I have the honor to be. Sir, 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 In a letter transmitting a copy of this record for preservation in the 
 archives of the Boston Latin School Association, Mr. Dillaway writes : — 
 
 " Though Mr. Lloyd's name is not given it was generally understood that he 
 was the donor. 
 
 " Those who are acquainted with the jovial times our City Fathers used to have 
 at the Faneuil Hall dinner on examination day will appreciate the wisdom of 
 presenting the medal ' immediately before sitting down to dinner.' 
 
 " What strikes me as singular is that the names of the boys receiving the 
 medals are not on the Records of the School Committee. Of course their names 
 would be on the Records of the City Council. They should have been on both." 
 
 Q. ' 
 
 FRANKLIN MEDAL SCHOLARS. 
 
 In the Annual Report of the School Committee for 1857 will be found an 
 account of the Franklin Medals, and the conditions on which they have been 
 awarded. We give on a sejiarate page a rejiresentation of the forms which 
 they have at different times assumed, from the engravings in the possession 
 of the School Committee, which we have kindly been allowed to copy. Be-

 side tlie designs given, at one time the medal was simply a disk of silver 
 witli an engraved inscription. We give also a list of the pupils who have 
 been recipients of tliese medals, corrected from tliat published by the School 
 Committee in 187.o, and brought down to the present year. It is imperfect, 
 the names of the boys of some years not appearing, but there seems to be no 
 way of supplying its deficiencies.

 * The following letter, which appeared some years ago in one of the Boston 
 papers, explains itself, and is interesting in this connection. C. W. G. are the 
 initials of Charles Winston Greene : — , 
 
 The Franklin Monument. 
 
 We are permitted to make the following extract from a letter received by one of the 
 Committee of Franklin Medal Scholars, appointed to obtain subscriptions in aid of the pro- 
 posed Monument. The writer is a distinguished teacher in anoiher Slate. He says : 
 
 " In the year 1798, by some maladministration of the Franklin Fund, one medal only was 
 given in the Latin School, and very much to my surprise, 1 obtained it. The Hon. James 
 T. Austin was in the Class, but fortunately for me he had received a Franklin Medal at a 
 Grammar School, and was not a candidate. I now forward my medal to prove my right to 
 subscribe on your list of medal scholars. 
 
 "Your allusions to your old teachers. Masters Emerson and Snelling, and the floggings 
 you received from the rod of the latter, known to the boys by the name of ' Cayenne ' end 
 the ' Old Doctor,' reminds mc of good old Master Hunt's ferule and my escape from it. 
 He whipped me often and very hard, and liurt coiirouudedly. One day I could not help 
 crying bitterly. He called mc up and seemed willing to console me. He said : 'You know 
 one Christopher Gore ? ' (afterwards Gov. Gore.) 'Yes, Sir.' ' He's a great man, is'nt he ? ' 
 'Yes, Sir.' ' Do you know one Harrison Gray Otis ?' 'Yes, Sir.' * He is a great man, is 
 he not ?' ' Oh yes. Sir,' said I. ' I whipped it into them both ! ' said Master Hunt. I re- 
 plied, * I guess you mean to make a plaguey great man of mc.' I was in a roaring passion, 
 but the boys in the school laughed outright, and the old man smiled, and jiatted mo on the 
 head, and said, ' (Jo to your seat, you rogue, I will not touch yo\i again,' and he never did. 
 
 "All honor to our old teachers, and success to the Franklin Monument. 
 
 "Yours, C. W. (;."

 The following Poem by William Everett, was read at the dinner of the 
 Boston Latin School Association in 1877 : — 
 
 Is cm" mother then so wedded 
 
 To her building's ancient site, 
 That the inn she taught was wicked 
 
 Gives her children seats to-night? 
 But since, met in such a session, 
 
 Boy or master counts as one, 
 What shall I be reckoned, standing 
 
 Where life's waters both ways run? 
 
 II, 
 
 Man, or boy ? That is my question, 
 
 Harder than poor Hamlet's doubt; 
 Can this table lend assistance 
 
 From the fog to get me out ? 
 Feeling hour by hour contending 
 
 Boy and man within my breast. 
 Fire and frost, or jest and earnest, 
 
 Who shall set that strife at rest ? 
 
 III. 
 
 Boy no more, while seeing round me 
 
 Whiskered lawyers, doctors cool — 
 Babes ! I taught them Ovid scanning, 
 
 Born the week I entered school! 
 Man not yet — his ancient masters 
 
 Who could ever see unmoved ? 
 Please don't mark me, sir, delinquent, 
 
 If my piece is not approved. 
 
312 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 IV. 
 Blundering yet o'er Greek subjunctives, 
 
 Shuddering at the discount rule, 
 Loathing pipes and loving cream cake«— 
 
 Ah, I ought to be at school I 
 Blowing rainbow bubbles daily, 
 
 Eager for each new employ, 
 Tired with one week's steady drudging— 
 
 Why! he's nothing but a boy. 
 
 V. 
 
 Backward through long vistas gazing 
 
 Lined with trunks of blasted hope, 
 Paved with faded projects, clouded 
 
 O'er with failure's gloomy cope — 
 Wrathful at men's guilt and folly, 
 
 Sitting Bull or silver bill, — 
 Rouse thee, man! thy boyhood's over! 
 
 Work ! Why stand' st thou idle still ? 
 
 VI. 
 
 When, with boys around, I kindle 
 
 At their games and tales and glee, 
 Sorely puzzled that their fathers 
 
 Somehow went to school with me — 
 If they run to meet their equals. 
 
 Where are mine ? I droop my head- 
 Ben and John are long since married — 
 
 Frank and Bill long since are dead. 
 
 vn. 
 
 Stand I thus the only waverer, 
 
 Looking on and backward too ? 
 Ah, I see the telltale blushes, 
 
 Owning kindred doubts in you! 
 Toimg hearts bowed by cares of manhood, 
 
 White heads warm with youthful joys, 
 O my staid and reverend schoolmates, 
 
 " Whispering ! sprouting ! - Mark those boys ! " 
 
 VIII. 
 
 Mother! Thou whose lively nurture 
 
 Fostered every puri^ose high, 
 Pricked our souls to bold endeavor, 
 
 Strung each arm and fired each eye— 
 If our hearts grow cold and sordid. 
 
 If the world our thoijghts employs, 
 Break and thaw the freezing current; 
 
 Mother! Keep thy children boys! 
 
APPENDIX. 313 
 
 IX. 
 
 Thou, whose firm and cautious training 
 
 Watched o'er every wayward son, 
 Chained the playful and the sluggard 
 
 Firmly in till work was done — 
 O, if e'er we stray or falter, 
 
 Lui'ed by hope or pleasm-e, then 
 Draw once more thy old-time bridle ; 
 
 Mother, make thy children men ! 
 
 X. 
 
 Boys in hope, and men in council. 
 
 Boys in action, men in thought; 
 Boys to breast the world's encoimter, 
 
 Men to wear the trophies brought. 
 Take, boys, take each pure enjoyment 
 
 From the earth's bright fields of love! 
 Strike, men, strike each monster, purging, 
 
 Lifting earth to heights above ! 
 
 XI. 
 
 Fathers, brothers, sons ! Our manhood 
 
 Meets with boyish fim to-day. 
 Hopes and memories chime to warn us, 
 
 " Hearts be green, though locks he gray." 
 So om- city's pious motto 
 
 Glows with richer light for us; 
 " Sit in omne Deus cevum 
 
 Nobis sicut patribus." 
 
 XII. 
 
 One verse more ! This meeting's private: 
 
 Some things wont be said outside. 
 Many an outward stroke and inward 
 
 Has the dear old school defied. 
 Boys or inen: we'll stand unflinching 
 
 Every bolt that malice hurls ; 
 But, by all her ancient honor, 
 
 Fill not up our ranks with girls!

 his removal from there in 1748, on which we find the following : — 
 
 22. Samuel Gibson, Usher of South Grammar School, — died much lamented.

 A List of Subscribers to the Bunker Hill Monument, published in 1830, 
 gives ninety-five names of teachers and pupils in the Latin School, all of 
 whom are recorded in this Catalogue except Uie following : 
 
 Thomas J. Bowditch 
 William C, Center. 
 Frederick W. Hubbard. 
 
 Joseph J. Loring. 
 William O. Parks. 
 
 The reason of tlie omission of these names here is inexplicable, unless the 
 crediting of them lo the School there is an error. 
 
 The iKuncs of Charles Brown, Jr., George Carlton, (Jeorge W. Davis, John 
 Motley, Andrtiw J. Ritchie, and Henry S. Sargent, whicli are given on tiie

 A portrait of Samuel James Bridge, fii-st Secretary and Treasurer of the Boston 
 Latin School Association, has been deposited with the Association by Mr. Bridge. 
 
 SmCE the account of the building of the School House, on page 87, was 
 l^rinted, we have been permitted to copy from the Records of King's Chapel 
 the original statement of the action of the Town in answer to the petition of 
 the Minister and Vestry of King's Chapel for the piece of ground on which 
 the School House stood, in order to enlarge their Cliurcli. 
 
 As the Transaction of Affairs between the Town & the Petitioners was since 
 the late Grant put intirely on the Town's part into the Hands of their Select Men 
 viz Thomas Hancock, Middlecot Cooke, Jolm Steel Esqs & Messs Jn Tyng, Wm 
 Salter, Saml Grant, & Hill so these gentlemen now bocjan to exercise the Patience 
 of the Chapel Committee in as severe a manner as the Town Committee had done 
 before, insisting that the new School House must be built with Brick, must have 
 a Cellar under it, must be one sixth part larger than the old one, and must have a 
 Gambrell Roof &c Conditions each of them quite foreign to the Grant & which 
 caused sundry Debates. These and severall other Difficultys were secretly con- 
 triv'd & fomented by some litigious People, to whom the Select Men gave too 
 much Countenance, particularly by Mr Lovell the School-master who upon very 
 many Occasions impertinently dictated in the Conduct of the affair, & frequently 
 gave Disturbance both to the Select Men & the Committee. But since one 
 Condition of the Grant was that the Work should be accomplish' d to the Satis- 
 faction of the Select Men, they under this general Instruction were resolv'd to 
 accept nothing but what was agreeable to their own Humours ; Some of them 
 hoping by this Means intirely to defeat the whole affair & render it ineffectual. 
 It must be indeed confess'd that others of the Select Men thot this Proceeding 
 most unreasonable and even unchristian but a majority prevail' d; several of the 
 
B20 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 
 
 Committee th6t it would be best to build it according to the express Words of the 
 Grant without Regard to the Select Men, but others esteem' d it an unsafe Way, as 
 the Town would be most likely to justifie their Select Men, especially in an affair 
 which too many would have been glad any way to have defeated. 
 
 To accommodate the Thing in some better manner it was proposed to the Select 
 Men that a Sum of money should be given them, and that they should undertake 
 the Building to their own Satisfaction, as there seem'd to be Room left for such 
 an Agreement by a Clause in the Grant. To this Purpose an Estimate was 
 obtain'd from sundry Workmen of the Charge of a Brick School House, which 
 amounted to £2900 ; and of a wooden one with all their additional Expence of 
 Bigness, Roof, Cellar, &c. which was computed at £aiSO. 
 
 The Committee wearied out with Opposition and willing to put an End to it 
 offered 2000 Pounds, this the Select Men refus'd to accept but propos'd that if 
 they might be allowed £2400, and the Buildings then standing on the Ground they 
 would try if by Subscription they could raise £500. more, and if so, they would 
 accept. Here again the Committee astonish'd at the unreasonableness of such 
 Proposalls were at a Loss what to do; Some were for throwing up at last, imagin- 
 ing that such excessive Charge would prevent or at least greatly -retard the build- 
 ing their Chui'ch — but after consulting some other principal Members of the 
 Church they came to the following Resolution, vizt 
 
 At a Meeting of the Committee for rebuilding Kings Chapel at Eliakim Hutch- 
 inson's Esfif Tuesday 28th June 1748 « * • « Voted unanimously that we 
 make an Offer to the Select Men of the Sum of Twenty-four hundred Pounds 
 old Tenr together with flie Buildings now on the Spott of Ground where the 
 School is to be erected pursuant to a Vote of the Town in Consideration of their 
 freeing us from building said School, & that the said offer be made tomorrow. 
 
 The following vote passed by the Selectmen is taken from the same record : — 
 
 20th July, 1748. 
 
 "Being desired by the Committee of Kings Chapel on the 13th Inst, to inform 
 them what School we think will be to the Satisfaction of the Select Men, we reply 
 a Brick House of the Dimensions following viz Thirty four feet Front towards 
 School Street, Thirty six feet deep on the Passage and twelve feet Studd with 
 suitable Doors and Windows & finished Workmanlike to the Acceptance of 
 the Select Men, with House of Office, Wood House &c." 
 
 The following are the agreements made for the construction of the building: —

INDEX TO NAMES OF PUPILS. 
 
 For convenience of reference to the text, it has seemed tlesirable to employ 
 certain marks in tlic Index, of which tlie folloAving is tlie explanation: 
 
 * signifies that the name against which it is placed is that of one who, by the 
 best evidence that can be procured, was probably a pupil, but as this evidence of 
 actual attendance and membership is not perfectly conclusive, it has been given 
 in a note, (see p. iii of the preface to the edition of l^^T,) instead of in the text. 
 Further evidence may at some future time cause its removal to the text, as has been 
 the case in this edition with many names given in the note there referred to. 
 
 ? signifies that the Christian name against which it is placed, left blank in the 
 edition of 1S4T, has been supjilied on evidence entitled to credit, (the testimony 
 of relatives or descendants, the town Records of births, or the baptismal Records 
 of the Churches,) accessible since that edition was printed, which seems to prove 
 that the boy thus indicated Avas our pupil. (See page iv of the preface to the 
 edition of 1S47. ) 
 
 ? t signifies that while the Christian name against Avhich it stands is probably 
 that of the boy whose surname was originally given, (see explanation above,) one 
 or more additional names are given in notes, of which, for the reasons there given, 
 it is at least possible that one .should be substituted for that in the text. 
 
 Many boys seem to have changed in after life the names imder which ihey 
 entered the School, sometimes by dropping, and sometimes by adding a first or 
 middle name; but occasionally by an entire alteration of the given names, and 
 in a few instances of surnames. In all such instances the name given in the 
 Index is that under which the boy entered the School, and the subsequent name 
 is added underneath it in parentheses ( ). When the change has involved the 
 surname, the name has been given under both the old and the now, with cross 
 references from each.

 1714. Edward Wigglesworth is shown to have been in office before 
 Jan. 171|, by the following certificate of Nath'l Williams, the original of 
 which is in the possession of Jeremiah Colburn, Esq., of Boston.

 the Town of Boston. 
 
 On page 52. 
 
 It is possible that the name of John Vaughan Apthorp, Harv. 1818, should 
 be inserted between those of Moses Shaw and John Brazer Davis. 
 
 On page 328. 
 In the Index to Teachers, under Groce, Byi'on, insert 12, before 30.

 The History of the Ancient and Hon. Artillery Company, by Whitman, 2d 
 edition, contains on p. 280 a notice of Edward Bromfield, who may be our 
 pupil here ; and on page 311 a reference to Adino Paddock.

 Copeland. Against this name Dr. Homer has written Copely, Pamter, but 
 this must be an error, as Copley Avas not born until this year. 
 
 1737 
 
 Samuel Hewes is probably the father of Samuel H. Hewes of our Class of 
 1770, and is perhaps the Samuel Hughes referred to in Sabine. 
 
 George Craddock. On the Bui-ial Register of King's Chapel, under date of 
 1 July, 1771, is the record of the death of George Craddock, Merchant, aged 
 37 years, who is very likely this one.

 ment of Dr. Homer.

 of his age. See Bridgman's King's Chapel Epitaphs, p. 75. 
 
 Addington Davenport. See N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg. Jan. 1856, p. 115, and 
 Jan. 1879, p. 25. 
 
 Paddock. A letter received from Morris V. Paddock, Esq., of St. John, 
 N. B., makes it probable that this was P^noch, a brother of Adino and John 
 of our class of 1735. 
 
 1741 
 
 Miliar is perhaps Joseph Hillar, referred to in Curwen's Journal, 4th edit,

 chant on Long Wharf. 
 
 1745 
 
 The first name, Gatiomb, is very probably incorrect for Gatcomb. 
 
 Henry Green. The date of death is probably incorrect. He was known 
 to be living in Dec. 1774, and is thought to have died in 1775 or 6. 
 
 Page 65, note 2. The 2d edition of the History of the Ancient and Honoi-- 
 able Artillery Co. gives a dift'erent statement of the pai'entage of William 
 Phillips, and also gives the date of his death as 1771.

 tije Williain in the previous column.

 confounding him with the Edward below.

 Samuel Gore. See History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co.,

 1760 
 
 Thomas Edwards. See Memorials of Massachusetts Cincinnati by F. S. 
 Drake, p. 19. 
 
 Pei-ez Morton. Note 17 has reference to a spelling of the name Moreton, 
 oi-iginally given in the text, but altered without changing the note. 
 
 1761 
 
 Minott. To the suggestion in note -1, page 82, we would add. Possibly 
 Francis, who died Dec. 1774, set. 28. 
 
 Prout. A William Front was at the North Grammar School fi-om 1768-74, 
 but woiild probably have been too old then to be our boy here. 
 
 To note 12, p. 82, (William Eustis,) add. See i\Icmorials of Massachusetts 
 Cincinnati by F. S. Drake, p. 19. 
 
 John Sprague is unquestionably identical with the J. S. of our Class of 
 1760, and should have been omitted here. If he is another boy, however, 
 the line Harv. 1772, A.M. should be stricken out. 
 
 1765 
 
 Benjamin Joye. Bapt. 1st Church, 27 Feb. 1757. Dr. Homer gives this 
 name Charles. 
 
 Joseph Loring. Add U. S. A. and as a note. See History of the Ancient

 here. 
 
 John Soley. See the By-laws of St. Andrew's Royal Arch Chapter, (edi- 
 tion of 1871,) p. 164. 
 
 John Baker Sohier. The age in Hunt's Catalogue, given in note 4, must 
 be wrong, as he was liorn in 1707. 
 
 1773 
 
 Benjamin Homans was Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 
 
 1774 
 P^dward Blanchard was born in 1760. If the conjecturoil Edward of 1765

 Benjamin Andrews. It is not unlikely this is the Benjamin (Andrews)

 ing the Recollections, of Samuel Breck, p. 22. See note 10, p. 131.

 John Lemon. Possibly the same who appears in the Boston Directory 
 until 1854 as John Leman, Ship-Smith. 
 
 1817 
 
 Francis Caleb Loring should probably be in the Class of 1819 with Willis 
 and Bradlee, but as he was put here on the old Catalogue and this page was 
 cast before we had reason to think the change ought to be made, we have 
 thought best not to make it.

 Greenough's and Haynes's interleaved Catalogues. 
 
 1825 
 
 The annual Catalogue of 1832 gives a William Peabody as of this Class, 
 but perhaps this is a mistake for Wellington. 
 
 1827 
 
 Leonard S. Parker and Frederick R. Sherman are given on the annual 
 Catalogue of 1831 as members of this Class, and Samuel S. Noyes on that of 
 1832, but perhaps the latter is a mistake for James Sullivan Noyes, whom
