PREFACE.

On- 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 which
had been entrusted the preparation of this Catalogue has great
pleasure in offering it to the pupils 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 possi-
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 preparation of the pages.

IV PUBLIC LATEST SCHOOL.

So careless was the past in preserving lists of school-boys, that
when the Latin School Association was formed, as lately as 1844, 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 complete 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 1766. From these two copies from John 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 1819 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 1819. 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 1635 to 1846." In their 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 supposed, but that the School was
opened again immediately after "Washington's entrance into the town.
Encouraged by this happy discovery, the Association at once ordered
the preparation of a new and enlarged Catalogue, and appointed for
the purpose a special Committee, of which Edward E. Hale was
made Chairman, and the late Joseph Healy, then Secretary of the
Latin School Association, Secretary. This Committee was authorized
to add to its own number, 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. Scudder,
Rev. Henry F. Jenks, John T. Hassam, J. Russell Reed, and
Grenville H. 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 gaps 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 prospects 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 under equal obligations which we are
glad to acknowledge. Whatever assistance we have sought, has been
rendered with alacrity and interest, whether we have applied to
our fellow pupils, 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 the 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 Thayer, 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 plans 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 the Second
Centennial was taken in the public exercises of the day of their
graduation. It may be feared that the Centennial of 1735 passed
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 politics, 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 photograph, 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 poorest boy in the meanest hovel on
the unknown slope of Beacon Hill might prove to be he who should

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 taught at the common charge.

Governor Winthrop'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 land 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 cipher, 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 confirmed by the
General Court. Other towns did the like, providing maintenance by several
means. Winthrop's History 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 Scriptures, as, in former times, by keeping them in an
unknown tongue, so, hi these latter times, by persuading from the use of
tongues, that so at least the true sense and meaning of the original might be
clouded by false gloss of saint-seeming deceivers ; now, that learning may
not be buried in the grave of our fathers, in the Church and Commonwealth,
the Lord assisting our endeavors ;

It is, therefore, ordered, that every township in this jurisdiction, after the
Lord hath increased them to the number of fifty householders, shall then
forthwith appoint one within their town to teach all such children as shall

resort to him, to write and read and it is further ordered, 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 instruct youth so far as they may be fitted for the university, pro-
vided that if any town 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 who 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. Emerson in his lecture in the Massachusetts Historical Society's volume
on the Early History of Massachusetts says : A grammar school was then understood to be
a school in which the Latin and Greek languages were taught.

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 ship ' Griffin,' of three
hundred tons, came, among others, John Cotton, who for many years had
been a powerful and influential preacher in connection with St. Botolph's in
Boston, Lincolnshire. He was in every respect a man of mark, and destined
to exert a powerful influence upon these shores.

It was acknowledged that his coming formed a new era in the history of
the colony. In the language of Dr. Increase Mather, " Both 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 months) 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 instruc-
tion ; they provided at the very beginning for the higher branches of study.

Now, I think it is interesting to ask if there are any reasons why it
would be natural to connect the establishment of this School with John Cot-
ton? One strong reason for so doing would be, that he was not only
distinguished, before he came to these shores, for ability and learning,
but from the moment he landed here he was universally welcomed and
became the acknowledged centre of vast influence both in ecclesiastical and
civil affairs. 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 Bay, sanctioned by order of the Court, had their
origin in him; and they both alike had their antecedents in his personal
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 first year of her reign, made a grant
to the corporation of Boston, "for the purpose of establishing and maintain-
ing a Free Grammar School in the town." Thus we know as a matter of
history, that there was a Free Grammar School in Boston, Lincolnshire.

But is there any reason to suppose 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 curious entry, which proves to us that Latin was taught.

8 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

In 1578 it was agreed that a " Dictionarye shall be bought for ye Scollars
of ye Free Scoole and the same boke to be tyed in a cheyne and set upon a
deske in ye scoole whereunto any scoller may have accesse as occasion shall
serve ;" and in 1601 the Corporation purchased two dictionaries — one Greek,
the other Latin — for the school, " the schoolmaster to keep the same for the
use of the scholars."

Thus we find that in Boston, Lincolnshire, there was a Free Grammar
School, in which Latin and Greek were taught, and it is natural to presume
that a lover of learning like Cotton, who had been appointed to the Vicarage
of that town in 1612, and had been active there in all good ways and works
for more than twenty years, should have been not only acquainted but very
familiar with 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. John Cotton, and
two others, was appointed to examine Mr- Emnith 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 his 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 (who had graduated from
Trinity College, Cambridge, 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 that was precious in his memory,
as suggestive of what might — in some larger and better way — become
transplanted here.

Thus, the old Lecture, dear for so many years, when the Thursday came

round, would recur to his mind. Why should he, then, not have a similar

lecture here ? The Market Day, when the people gathered from the country

around, buying and selling commodities — why not have that also ? As soon

as suggested, the Court 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 the 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 privileges of a collegiate education, the memory of a free

grarnrnar 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, here let such a school be

established, to become as good, and as much better as we can make 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 secured, but

some reasonable introductory knowledge, at least, of the ancient languages.

There is another coincidence between John Cotton's new and old home.

The records of the English Boston of 1642, show that the master of the

HISTORICAL SKETCH.

grammar school had "a house rent free;" and in the American Boston
we find that, in 1645, it was ordered 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 street, 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
very 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, from 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 abiding interest cherished by John Cotton in whatever pertained to
the work of instruction; and sufficient reasons (have we not?) for asso-
ciating his name, in an especial manner, with the establishment of the
first free school, and with that educational system which has become our
joy and our pride.

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."* Accordingly in
1644 it was let for three years, at the rate of seven pounds per annum,
expressly for the use of the School. f In 1647, at the expiration of this lease,
it was again let for seven years, and the rent was now " fourteen pound per
annum for the scoole's use in pro vision and clothing !" X This lease was extended
in 1648 to twenty-one years, at the same rate of rent.§ The next year Long

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 11

Selectmen were to take order that 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 rented
on long leases, and similar sources of income, in preference to a direct
support from the public treasury. Thus, in 1649, Wm. Phillips " agreed to
give 13s. Aid., per ann. forever to the use of the Schole for the land that
Christopher Stanley gave in his will to the Schol's use."f Forty shillings
per annum for the same use were secured by lease of 500 acres of land at
Braintree,| and several other sums on different lands belonging to the Town,§
at about the same date.

* Mr. Henry Barnard, in an article on Ezektel 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 parish, 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 aU 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 establishing 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.

14 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

The esteem in which the School has been held by the citizens of
Boston is shown by the fact that fathers who have been its pupils
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 ten or 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 the 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 brighter 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 the dullness of their wilderness recitations
by repeating to the Puritan boys the fun of his hig, hag, hog ;
or telling the stories of the Calibans with which he peopled 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 Piscataqua. 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 25th. This clay the Selectmen in psuance of a vote order of the inhabitants of
the towne dated the 9th of March last did renew unto Mr. Samll. Shrimpton his lease of
Deer Island for the terme of 18 years, to commence from the 1st of March, 1693-94
(when bis present lease will expire) at the rent of 141d mony p. nnn., to be paid on
euery 1st day of March yearelie to the use of the Free schoole.

of St. Paul's school, London, hearing our Ezekiel Cheever, then in the
fourth form, translate his Erasmus ; or repeat his " as in praesenti"
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 him 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

might 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 the 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 lips f 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 libros." 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 day? On
the Declaration, led off by his name, ours are one-ninth of the sig-
natures. And the curious may yet trace in the careful name of
Franklin, in the gentlemanly writing of Hooper and in the clear
legibility of the others, those traits which we have even lately heard
our venerable writing master § describe in the second copy of his
large hand as the

twelve-pound 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 schoolmaster'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 it was then generally agreed upon that our brother Phile-
mon Pormort, shalbe untreated to become scholemaster, for the teaching
and nourtering of children with us."

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 partly 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 prove that under his care
the classical languages were taught in the School, is the fact that John
Hull, who was one of his pupils, 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 appointed 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 public school in the town for about half a century,
it is reasonable to infer that the elementary as well as the higher branches
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 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.1 He must have had in Ins
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 institution in its early days hardly to be compared

18 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

with those of the humblest country school of the present time ; and yet
what a burning and shining light it has become ! For nearly two and a half
centuries it has been training statesmen whose wisdom has guided our
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 grandson, a President of Harvard College ; Win. Stoughton,
Chief Justice of Massachusetts ; James Bowdoin ; and many others whose
eminent public services are on record." *

Of the age, birthplace, character or education of Mr. Pormort, we
know nothing from any documents we have yet discovered. On the
28th of August, 1634, he was admitted, with Susanna his wife, a
member of the First Church. f In the records of that church we
find the baptism of his son Lazarus, March 1st, 1636, and of his
daughter Anna, April 15th, 1638.

We find Mr. Pormort's name in connection with the Hutchinson
controversy, the history of which has been published in a form which
makes it quite unnecessary for us to discuss it here,$ but in no other
transactions of the colony, excepting those which 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 with them, seem to be that he was up-
holding 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 he pressed more deeply into the
wilderness which he had vainly sought in his hope for it. He had
constancy enough, and sincerity enough of o]:>inion to leave his first

western home for a wilderness, though nothing but a strong sense~of
duty could have called him.

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 6tb, 1638.*

The documents by which the colony of Exeter was established are
dated October 4th, l639.f

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.

In August, 1636, a subscription was made " by the richer inhabi-
tants,! toward the maintenance of a free schoolmaster for the youth
with us," and Mr. Daniel Maude was chosen to the office.

20 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

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, 1635. At this time he was
about fifty years old. He was a graduate of Emmanuel College,
Cambridge, where he took his degree of Bachelor in 1606, and of
Master in 1610.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 was 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. H., 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 charge in England on account of his Non-Con-
formity. Cotton Mather places him, therefore, in his first classis 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
1616.

J At a town meeting on " The 17th of the 2d moneth, 1637 * * it is agreed * * that Mr.
Danyell Mawde, scholemaster, shall have a garden plot next unto Stephen Kinsley's house
plott upon like condition of building thereon if neede bee."

By the Book of Possessions this lot is thus described :

Daniel Maud, his possession within the limits of Boston.

One house and garden, bounded with Mr. Bellingham south and west, Mr. Cotton north,

far from the present site of the Suffolk Savings Bank.

" it pleased God to fit stones by tbe 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 office 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

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 peaceable 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 Har-
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

little to do) the author of " Plain Dealing," well known to antiquarians as a bo.ok which
handles the colony harshly and unkindly, wrote to Winthrop in 1640 :

" Consider how poorly your schools goc on. You must depend upon England for help
of learned men and schollars, bookes, commodities infinite almost."

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 Magnolia. Nothing more is certainly known of him,t and
the only reference we find to him is in the Boston Records, when at
a meeting:

" This 2d of 10th 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 Woodmansey % became " Scholemaster,"
and we find the following in the records.

* Appendix A.

t The question has been lately raised whether Benjamin "Woodbridge, his brother, the
first graduate of Harvard 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 mere 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 intervening lot,
the vote includes the following reservation ;

" alsoe if the towne shall see cause to inlarg the skoolehouse at any time hereafter, the
town hath reserved libertie soe to doe.

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 proportion 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 t 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 epitaph on his
tomb stone in the burying-ground at Roxbury calls him a learned
schoolmaster and physician, and the renowned poet t of New England.

This reference is to the lot of land previously mentioned which had been granted to
Richard Cook for a rent of thirty subsequently reduced to twenty shillings per annum.

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
Dryden. 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

24 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

After three years he was superseded by Ezekiel Cheever, the
worthy Englishman who came to bring back to the School the worth
and associations of a former generation; — the 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, 1614. 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 :

1632-33, Jan. 12. Ezekiel Cheever, sizar. Middlesex.!

over again the stale and easy lie, wherein the past is held up as wiser and holier than the
present.

Though New England has had a life but little more than fifty years long, the poet sees
within it the tokens of a hurrying 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

when, at table,

" 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 ;"

" 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, God is sending upon New England the wrath and anguish of the
Indian wars.

" Not ink, but blood and tears now serve the turn,
To draw the figure of New England's urn."

* * * * In William Hubbard's "Indian Wars," is a prefatory poem signed " B. T."
that is undoubtedly Tompson's, and that has some sprightly and characteristic
lines. * * *

* Mr. John T. Hassam of our Committee has written a monograph on Ezekiel Cheever,
reprinted from the New England Historic Genealogical Register, which gives an exhaustive
sketch of his life, character and usefulness, to which, and to the life of him by Henry Bar-
nard in the American Journal of Education, vol. 1, p. 297, we would refer for further
accounts of that portion of his life which was not connected with our School.

He came to Boston in 1637. The next spring he went to New
Haven, where he remained some time as a teacher, and prohably wrote
" The Accidence," an elementary w^ork in Latin* which passed
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 Chai'lestown he came over to Boston, and the
Boston Records thus chronicle the event : f

that Mr Ezachiell Cheuers, Mr Tomson & Mr. Hinksman should be at the

That this answer, natural under the circumstances, MTas not al-
lowed to operate to the disadvantage of Mr. Tompson, is shown by
the following :

On the 30th of the same month, it was " Ordered to Mr. Benjamin
Tompson 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 his
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 point, it was a sign for the 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 few of New England's most distinguished rnen.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, t of
Marblehead, one of his pupils, who was born in Boston, Nov. 6, 1681,
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, venerable, and justly famous Mr. Ezekiel
Cheever. But after a few weeks, an odd accident drove me from the school.
There was an older lad entered the school the same week with me ; we strove
who should outdo ; and he beat me by the help of a brother in the upper

class, who stood behind master with the accidence open for him 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 from England, who opened
a private school for reading, writing, and Latin. My good father put me
under his tuition, with whom I spent a year and a half. The gentleman
receiving but little encouragement, threw up his school, and returned me to
my father, and again I was sent to my aged Mr. Cheever, who placed me
in the lowest class ; but finding I soon read through my [ ] , in a few

weeks he advanced me to the [ ] , and the next year made me the head

of it.

Though my master advanced me, as above, yet I was a very naughty boy,
much given to play, insomuch that he at length openly declared, ' You Bar-
nard, I know you 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 duly, 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 upon him once and again to mind his
book ; 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 wanting 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 with my being corrected, and persisted in his
neglect, for which I was still corrected, and that for several days. I thought,
injustice, 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 anymore, and
so that unhappy affair ended.

Though I was often beaten for my play, and my little roguish tricks, yet I
don't remember that I was ever beaten for my book more than once or twice.
One of these was upon this occasion. Master put our class upon turning
iEsop's Fables into Latin verse. Some dull fellows made a shift to perform
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 some time,
when upon reading some of Mr. Cowley's works I was highly pleased, and
a new scene opened before me.

I remember once, in making a piece of Latin, my master found fault with
the syntax of one word, which was not so used by me heedlessly, but
designedly, and therefore I told him there was a plain grammar rule for it.
He angrily replied, there was no such rule. I took the grammar and
showed the rule to him. Then he smilingly said, « Thou art a brave boy ;
I had forgot it.1 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 principal 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 Sewall in his Diary f 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 very sick like to
die with a Flux. Augt. 13. I go to see him ; went in with his son Thomas
and Mr. Lewis. His son spake to him, and he knew him not. I spake to
him, and he bid me speak again : Then he said, Now I know you, and speak-
ing cheerily mention'd my Name. I ask'd his Blessing for me & my family.
He said I was Bless'd, & it could not be Revers'd. Yet at my going away
He pray'd for a Blessing for me.

Feria quinta, Augt. 19. — I visited Mr. Chiever again, just before Lecture ;
Thank'd him for his Kindness to me and mine ; desired his prayers for me,
my family, Boston, Salem, the Province. He rec'd 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 them. I went and told Mr. Pemberton, who preach'd.

Feria sexta, Aug. 20. — I visited Mr. Chiever, who was now grown much
weaker, and his Speech very low. He called, Daughter ! When his daughter
Russel came He ask'd if the family were compos'd. They apprehended He
was uneasy because there had not been Prayer that mora ; and solicited me
to Pray ; I was loth, and advised them to send for Mr. Williams, as most
natural, homogeneous : They declin'd it, and I went to Prayer. After, I told
him, the last Enemy was Death ; and God hath made that a friend too ; He

put his hand out of the Bed, and held it np, 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 him now.

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,t
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 health & understanding wonderfull in
my age," is on file in the Suffolk Probate Office. It was offered for
probate Aug. 26, 1708, by his son Thomas 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, 169ft, it
was " Voted, That an assistant be Provided to be wth. mr. Cheever, in the

At a town meeting Mar. 12th, 1704-5, it was voted that mr Nathaniell
Williams be paid at the rate of eighty pounds p annum for his service at the
Latten School for the year currant and for the year next ensuing. (Town
Records, ii, 275, 279.)

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 employed
him in this capacity, persuaded him not to relinquish this profes-
sion. Accordingly he continued to practice in many families, and
after he 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 worJc."%

During Mr. Williams's mastership, the following important passages
occur in the Records of the Town :

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 on monday the 19th of December 1709 :

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 unto ye Town as f olloweth vizt.

Wee have discoursed wth mr Williams the present master of whos : quali-
fications and fitness for that 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 the 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 Very
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 Instruct
them to that degree of profitting, which other wise may be wth an Assistant.

We Recommend it to the Town to Encourage mr Williams's continuance in
the School by advanceing his Salary to the Sum of One-hundred pounds p
Annu, which we thinck to be a modest demand, and to grant him the Assist-
ance of an Usher, at the Towns charge. In which we have ye concurrent
Opinion and Advice of ye Revrd Ministei-s.

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 past
practiced here, Do Nominate and Appoint a Certain Number of Gentlemen,
of Liberal Education, Together with some of ye Revd Ministers of the Town
to be Inspectors of the Sd Schoole under that name Title or denomination,
To Visit ye School from time to time, when and as Oft, as they shall thinck
fit to Enform themselves of the methodes used in teaching of ye Schollars and
to Inquire of their Proficiency, and be present at the performance of Some of
their Exercises, the Master' being before Notified of their comeing, And with
him to consult and Advise of further methods for ye Advancement of Leani-
ing and the Good Government of the Schoole.

* In this recommendation, and the subsequent action thereupon we have the origin of
our present School Committee.

And at their Sd Visitation, One of the Ministers by turns to pray with the
Schollars, and Entertain 'em with Some Instructions of Piety Specially
Adapted to their age and Education. The Inspectors, also with the master
to Introduce an Usher, upon such Salary as the Town shall agree to grant
for his Service, all which is submitted to Consideration.

Voted. That the Town will proceed to Consider the Said Report in the
Several Articles thereof.

Voted. That Mr. Nathaniel Williams's Salary be advanced to One hundred
Pounds p' Annum to Encourage his continuanc : in the School.

Voted. That an Usher at the Town's Charge be allowed to Assist Mr.
Williams in the Sd School.

Voted. That the Town doth agree to mak : choyce of Inspector according
to the aforesaid proposalls.

Voted. That Inspectors be chosen to Serve for one year ensuing.

Voted. That five persons be chosen to attend ye Sd Seiwice.

Voted. That the Honble Waite Winthrop Esqr, Samll Sewall Esqr,
Elisha Cook Esqr, Isaac Addington Esqr, and Thomas Brattle Esqr are
desired to Attend the Sd Servic : as Inspectoi's agreeable to the Sd proposalls.

Voted. That the said Inspectors are desired to Introduce an Usher into
ye Sd School, and to Agree with him for a Recornpence for his Service, not
Exceeding Forty pounds p Annum.

Voted. That the Sd Inspectors do agree wth mr Thayer for his past Ser-
vice in that Worke & allow him for ye Same not exceeding the aforesaid Rate
of Forty pounds p Annu.

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, who 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 capable 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 designed
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 cheifiy by a Town Rate on the Inhab-
itants) That Supposeing the former more Tedious and burthensome methode

may be thought the best for such as are designed for Schollars (which is by-
Some questioned) . Yet for the Sake & benefitt of others, who usually are
the greater number by far in Such Schools, — Whether it might not be advise-
able that Some more easie and delightfull methodes be there attended and put
in practice, And to Signifie to ye Town their thoughts therein, in order to
the Encourap-ernnt 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 Masterf and died on the 15th of January, 17384

A short sketch of his life and character, which will be found in the
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
North End, of which Mr. Recompense Wadsworth was chosen the
first Master. In 1768 Mr. Samuel Hunt was 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, who was succeeded in 1730 by Mr. John Lovell,
a graduate of Harvard College in 1728. When Mr. Williams

of the Massachusetts Historical Society, xx : 4, from what is probably the original paper
presented by the Selectmen, and now in the possession of the Overseers of the Poor of
Boston, which bears the heading " Proposals to the Inhabitants of the Town of Boston
relating to the Grammar Free School," and concludes: "Mar. 10th 1710. Ordered by the
Selectmen to be laid before the Town."

f During the period of Mr. "Williams's mastership we find the following entries, having
reference to our School, in Sewall's Diary, vol. iii : —

March 8 [1719-20.] Col. Pitch 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
eon to him ; has told him he will do so. Professes himself of the Church of England.
As far as I could gather, He and Capt. Noyes would be glad he might Teach in the new
South-School-bouse.

March 29 [1719-20.] The Inspectors of the Grammar Schools met at the Council-Cham-
ber ; Sewall, Davenport, Cooke, Savage, and with Mr. Williams the Master, approv'd of
Mr. Benjamin Gibson, Bachelour, to be the Usher in School-street. Mr. White came in,
and ratified what we had done. Dr. Clark told me he was for it, a little before the Meeting.

HEAD MASTER 1734-1775.

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
pupils.f In the Harvard Memorial Hall is his portrait, by his
pupil Nathaniel Smibert, " drawn," says Judge Cranch, " while the
tei'rific 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 17th, 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, according to the rule pre-

* Eliot's Biography.

f 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.

My Dear Brother : — On the 30th ultimo I was favored with j'our very kind and truly
acceptable letter of 14th March. What you say of John has relieved my mind of much
anxiety. I wish him to improve himself in his own language in preference to any other,

and then learn French ; this language should be acquired as early as possible

scribed for candidates for admission to the lowest form, to old Master
Loveirs house, situate in School Street, nearly opposite the site of the old
School House. I was early on the ground, anticipated 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 that time until April, 1775, (the day of Lexington
battle), being then on the second form. The school was divided into seven
classes. A separate bench or form was allotted 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, iEsop'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 the fourth year, the
fourth form, as well as the fifth and sixth, being furnished with desks, com-
menced " making Latin," as the phrase was, and to the books used by the
third form Caesar's Commentaries were added. After this were read in
succession by the three upper classes, Tully's Orations, the first books of the
jEneid, 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. M. throughout
the year. It was ended at 11 A. M. and 5 P. M., at which hours the 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 the north-east corner. I remember to
have seen used no other instrument of punishment but the ferule in Master
Lovell's day. Gaffer's ferule was a short, stubbed, greasy-looking article,
which, when not hi use, served him as a stick of sugar candy. The lightest
punishment was one clap, the 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 his arm, of which the centre
of motion was the shoulder. It descended altogether with a whack, and
there was the end of it, after blowing the fingers. But Master James's
fashion of wielding his weapon was another affair. He had a gymnastic
style of flourishing, altogether unique — a mode of administering our experi-
mentum ferules that was absolutely tendfic. He never punished in Gaffer's
presence, but whenever the old gentleman withdrew, all began to contem-
plate the "day's disaster," and to tremble, not when he "frown'd," for he
did not frown, nor was he an ill-tempered person, but rather smiled sar-
donically, as if preparing for a pugilistic effort, and the execution as nearly
resembled the motion of a flail in the hands of an expert thrasher as could

be acquired by long pi^actice. School broke up at 10 A. M. on Thursday, —
a relic of an old custom to give opportunity to attend the "Thursday lec-
ture,"— which was I believe never improved in my day. School opened
with " attendamus" to a short prayer. It ended with "deponite libros."
Tiie boys had a recess of a few minutes to go into the yard — eight at a
time. No leave was asked in words ; but there was a short club of a yard
in length which was caught up by some boy, round whom those who
wished to go out clustered, and were drilled down to eight. The club was
then held up near Master's nose, who nodded assent, when the eight van-
ished club in hand. Upon their return there was a rush to seize the club
which was placed by the door, and a new conscription of eight formed,
and so toiies quolies.

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 whig. He
remained in town after the siege commenced, was imprisoned on a charge of
corresponding with the Americans — carried off 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 think he was once returned to
Congress. On the accession of Genl. Washington to the Presidency, he
received the appointment of Naval Officer, which he retained to the last. His
father went off with the 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
thi'o' Tremont Street nearly to the bottom of the Mall, preparing to take
up their march for Lexington. A corporal came up to me as I Avas going to
school, and turned me off to pass 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 Bi'itish 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. Lo veil's administration of the School. Soon afterwards
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, with 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 Mr.
Lovell's, 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 Deak 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 the old

38 PUBLIC LATIN 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 any school-house in the rear of the King's Chapel, and am confident
there was none.* The house next adjoining the wall of the Chapel cemetery
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 house afterwards and,
probably within your remembrance, was owned and inhabited by John
Lowell, Esq. Next 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 the north boundary liv'd Doctor Cannorf (sic) the Rector. The
square east of the Rector's House, and north of Master Lovell's and Haldi-
man's, was county land J 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 in 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.

X On a map of this locality in 1722, this county land, 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 further that by his
desire he was buried at the southwest end of that lot, "which gave occasion for the first
burying-place 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. Win-
throp, in the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Vol. xvii. (1879-80) 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, where 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 Thomas
Scottow's house and 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. Woodmansey, lived in Scottow's old house. Between the teacher's house and the
School-house, in 1652, Richard Cooke was permitted to build, on payment of a ground rent,
which went for the teacher's salary. Interesting facts concerning other early tenants anil
residents on this street will be found in the Second Report of the Record Commissioners,
p. 75. Opposite Hutchinson, and nearly opposite the foot of School Street, lived Governor
Winthrop. Next to Hutchinson, on Washington Street, called in Suffolk Deeds (i. 60)
" the high streete," was the house and garden of Maj. Gen'l Robert Sedgwick, and, iu
1645, an " ordinary," then in possession of James Pen, a man of high consideration, and a
ruling elder in the church. In a court running towards the present Court Square, which
we suppose to be what is now Williams Court, stood an old tenement occupied by a poor
woman, whose drunkenness was the cause of the "great fire" of 1711. North of Gen. Sedg-
wick's was another house and garden, belonging to Valentine Hill, and from a building on
this estate it is probable that the first number of the Boston Mews Letter was published in
1704. North of this lot, as we learn from Suffolk Deeds (i. 60) was the house 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 the communica-
tion from Tremont St. to Cornhill. It was a public Town School, called
Proctor's School, though in nry time kept by Master Carter. The boys of the
two Schools often met in Tremont St. and dealt out their gibes in passing
each other — for example : —

Carter's boys shut up in a pen

And when they get out they dance about
For fear of Latin School gentlemen.

There was another public writing school in [now] West Street, on land
now in whole, or part, 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 vicinity. Next was the First
Meeting House, -which occupied the laud 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 wa9 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 an old building of stone, described by
one of its tenants as " the nearest resemblance to a hell upon earth," its outer walls three
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., Andros 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 Henry
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 Land 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.

the teacher. To this school I went in private hours [from 11 A. M. and 5
P. M.] to write and cypher. The North End public writing-school was
kept by Master Tileston as far back as I can remember.

As to Mr. Hunt I have no reason to disparage his capacity as a Teacher,
nor his qualities as a man. He and I kept a most even account, error excepted
in one case only on his part, and we parted on excellent terms. Any further
explanation shall be promptl}' afforded, whenever you favor me with a call.

It was Lovell's boys who had the memorable interview with Gene-
ral Haldimand to protest against the destruction of their coast, an
account of which has been given on page 88 of the Catalogue, under
the name of Jonathan Darby Robins, of our Class of 1766, one of the
participants in it. A contemporary account is given in a letter of
John Andrews,* which we insert here: —

Sunday-, January 29th. [1775]

* * * * Shall close this by giving you a small anecdote, relating to some
of our School lads — who as formerly in this season improv'd the Coast from
Sherburn's hill down to School street. General Haldiman 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 complaint,
which was couch'd in very genteel terms, complaining that their fathers
before 'em had improved it as a coast from time immemorial, &ca. He
ordered his servant to repair the damage, and acquainted the Governor with
the affair, who observed that it was impossible to beat the notion of Liberty
out of the people, as it was rooted in 'em from their childhood.

Among Mr. Lovell's assistants was Mr. Nathaniel Gardner, who
left school in 1735 and college in 1739. He was a fine scholar, a
poet, and a wit, occasionally a preacher, and always a merry com-
panion. There is a Latin poem extant written when he 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 we give a specimen in the Appendix.f

Mr. James Lovell was assistant to his father for many years. He
was a staunch patriot, and delivered the first Oration in commemora-
tion of the Boston Massacre, in the South Meeting House. He was
imprisoned in Boston Jail for his political faith, % and subsequently

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
North 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 pupils, and did not always coincide
with the School Committee.^ 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.

+ " The Latin School, under Master William fan error for Samuel] Hunt, was kept
in. a small square, brick 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 : —

FIRST CLASS.

Cheever's Accidence.

Cordery.

Aesop, Latin and Eng.

Ward's Latin Grammar or Eutrophis.

SECOND CLASS.

" The writer 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, Memoir 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 ono of antagonism." — Ibid.

on a good salary, with certain perquisites and a house to live in.
A grant of money was afterwards substituted for his perquisites, 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 to 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 pupil under Mr. Hunt : —

Deak Sir, — It is about sixty years, since in May or June, 1785, I first
went to the Latin School under Master Hunt. It was not in School Street,
but in old Faneuil Hall that I first attended this School ; for the old School-
house was vmdergoing repairs that summer. Having just moved into this
town, my three older brothers and myself were sent to the 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 the first class, or first
form, as we sometimes called it. Those were great days for me ; I felt

* In the diary of Dr. Bentley of Salem, an usher in our School from 1776-1778, occurs the
following entry : —

" Oct. 2Sth, 1813. We have confirmation of the death of my old schoolmaster, Samuel
Hunt, Esq., aged seventy-one. He died Sept. 8, at Lexington, Kentucky. He was for
many years Preceptor of the Grammar School in Boston. In 1767, he succeeded Master
Peleg Wiswall (who died that year, aged eighty-four) , and he continued Preceptor of the
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. [W~m. B. Fowle, to whom
we are indebted for this extract, says : The Diary says 1800, but this is evidently a clerical
error. Dr. Bentley graduated in 1777, and was appointed tutor in 1780.]

"Dr. Cotton Mather tells us that 'Ezekiel Chever came to Boston, Jan. 6, 1670, 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 iu 1730, and upon 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 Chever, nor the talents of the phjr-
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 suffer, and alienated the men who
succeeded to his old friends but had no estimate of his worth or his services. He was
obliged to resign to a man who did not long retain 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 years of age. During
this time, however, or after arriving in the third 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 remaining 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 whom 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 first, and afterwards Mr. Dingley (afterwards
Dr. Dingley of New York), were ushers.

We began our studies with Cheever's Latin Accidence, a book which 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 was 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 Shipwreck. I have never since heard of a shipwreck in
every detail without bringing 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 that we were well-drilled in the grammar, so called ;
made familiar with the inflexions of words and with the 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 present day
by gentlemen whom I respect very highly. They may be right ; but I know
my friend 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.

44 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

To these desultory remarks I wish to add something respecting Master
Hunt. He certainly was not well spoken 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 schoolmasters
1 knew when a boy. It seemed to be matter of course to find fault with the
Master. And, at College, the excellent Prest. Willard was spoken of in
terms that were opprobrious by the pupils under Mm ; so that it was not till
my Junior year that I discovered that he was not a cold, austere, heartless
despot, but on the other hand, a man of great sensibility, truly tender-
hearted, a lover of justice, but not given to severity. Master Hunt was a
passionate man ; and certainly committed errors from this cause. But these
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 vincit, is
one of the earliest of these which I recollect. At one period he took half a
day in each week for a general examination. He began with the first class,
going thro' the books they had studied, and went up to the seventh, the
highest, 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 prosody.

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 this time, and all were acquiring some know-
ledge. When the interest in this plan began to flag he dipped it, and so as
to other temporary practices. At another period he called on the two highest
scholars to choose sides, and the whole School was divided between them.
Then questions were put, as in the other case, and the contest was which side
should give the most correct answers. The interest attending these contests
was very great ; and I do not recollect that they ever gave rise to bickering,
or ill-feelings of any sort. Sometimes the old Master would take occasion to
speak in commendation of his former pupils ; and most especially of Harry
Otis, as he was not irreverently called in those days, for he was just com-
mencino- the active business of life. Mr. Otis had not then shown that he
was the most eloquent of popular orators in our town : he was not yet at the
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 Master Hunt distinguished
him as the first among the scholars he had educated, noting his industry and
accuracy as a student, as well as the great talents which, in his anticipations,
destined him to be one of the great men of the land. We boys had reason to
rejoice in this high and just estimate of our venerable friend ; for when Mr.
Otis became Major of the Boston Light Infantry, Master Hunt gave us a half-
holiday whenever that company " turned out," hi honor of the Commander ;
always endeavoring by his remarks to incite us to imitate the hero in his in-
dustry at least. I make this statement as creditable to the sagacity of Mr.

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 45

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 pass. I sat down desirous to show you that I remembered the School
with 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.

I am, your friend and servant,
Peniberton Square, JAMES JACKSON.

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 School, 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,f 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. Biglow, in an article entitled
Boyhood Memories, in the Boston " Miscellany," for February, 1843,
thus describes 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 the old house could not have been suffered to remain ; for it was
the Harrow of Harvard University ! There were to be seen such names as
"Isaac Coffin " carved on the forms; (the old admiral had been one of
Master Lovel's scholars), and other pen-knife memorials of generations
passed away. Sir Isaac loved to talk about the old school-house, and laughed
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 Avhen he ran away to join the British navy. Those drawings show
that " the boy is father of the man," and how the 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 had the "first part" on leaving
school

Somewhere about 1811, the public Latin School was under the charge of
a man, whose soubriquet was " Sawney," an extremely original and eccen-
tric character, who lorded it over four or five classes of the most intractable
and turbulent fellows, sixty or seventy in number, that ever met together
to have Latin and Greek hammered into them. Yet among them were some
"spirits finely touched," who were destined to shine with "the bright,
particular stars " of the intellectual firmament. I will point out one of
them : —

It is 8 o'clock A. M. : and the thin gentleman in black, with a small, jointed
cane under his arm, his eyes deeply sunken in his head, has asked that spirit-
ual-looking boy in blue nankeen, who seems to be about ten years old, to
"touch the bell," — it was a privilege to do this; and there he stands! that
boy — whose image, more than any others, is still deeply stamped upon my
mind, as I then saw him and loved him, I knew not why, and thought him
so angelic and remarkable — feeling toward him more than a boy's emotion,
as if a new spring of brotherly affection had suddenly broken loose in my
heart. There is no indication of turbulence and disquiet about him; but,
with a happy combination of energy and gentleness, how truly is he the father
of the man ! He has touched the bell, and while he takes his seat amono-
his fellows, he little dreams that in after-times, he will strike a different
note, and call around him a school of the transcendental philosophy. He is
Ralph Waldo Emerson.

After a prayer, 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 shoulders.

" I wont be struck for nothing ! " screams the urchin.

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 47

" Then, I'll strike you for something,'1'' replies Sawney, while the ratan
whizzes again about his ears.

" Mind 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 between 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
York milkmen of Winnebago celebrity ; and while from this choir some one
performer more conspicuous than the rest is singled out for a flogging, the
other side, in its tura, screams like a wounded elephant, or a steam-engine.
Thus for some minutes, Sawney has to travel backward and forward,
thrashing this side and saluted by that, alternately ; till at last he stops short
in the middle of the room while the tumult stops short likewise. " I'll tell
you what it is, my fine fellows," says he, reconnoitring 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 twists 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
casligo 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, sir," drawls Bangs, doggedly.

" Don't you ?" follows Sawney; " then I'll inform you. An active verb
is called transitive, when the action passeth over (whack, whack ! ) to the

48 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

object. You (whack!) are the object. I am (whack!) the agent. Now
take care how you go home and say that I never taught you anything. Do
you hear P " (whack /)

" Don't hit me again on the ear!" shrieks Bangs, shaking his head at the
master, and doubling up his fists under the form. But a few more whacks
undouble them again, and reduce him to a sullen obedience.

" The class in Viri Bomoz! " exclaims Sawney.

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,11 — that annual death-warrant to the turkeys ; but he licks
his lips, noth withstanding, and begins —

"Hxc clades — hose clades — " alas, he can get no further.

" Well !" says Sawney, "translate; what is the English of hcec clades, I
should like to know ?"

"Hcec clades," resumes Smith second, " these things."

" The next ! " cries Sawney, in disgust.

The next, knowing no better than the first, is nevertheless thankful to
Smith second, for having said 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 —

" Eozc 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.

" Eozc clades," says Leverett, afterward the accomplished Principal of
the same School, " this overthrow " —

" Eight ! " exclaims the master ; " go on ! "

U And now," calls Sawney, the recitation having been gone through with,
"come out here, you hose clades fellows ; " and then taking one after the 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, " haec clades —
these things," to the tune of Yankee Doodle. " 2sTow take your seats," says
he, rather fatigued with the exercise he has heard and the exercise he has
taken ; " and if this don't operate, I'll double the 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 trapping flies
and securing them in cages cut in the forms, and nicely grated with pins.
The ratan is among them instantly. The flies soar away to the ceiling, and
Sawney's imagination soars in company.

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 49

" I'll tell you what it is," sings the pedagogue bard :

" If I see any boy catching flies,
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 clay threw the class into confusion by begin-
ning with the fag end. That gentleman, now a distinguished clergyman,
undertook in a very praiseworthy, though then unpopular manner, to effect
somewhat of a reform 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 every boy in
rotation, and questioning 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-
ins: to his avowed intention.

If the boys desired a half -holiday on the occasion of a " muster" or the
like, they had nothing more to do than to unhang the bell-rope 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-

foundered ; then in utter despair faltered out, " That's not my word, sir! "
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 1 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
nattering themselves that all was going on well. But let it pass, with the
fun we had with the old tailor who worked below, and "all that sort of
thing ! " — for it ended sadly in the death and funeral of the good and highly
intellectual teacher, at whose obsequies the illustrious Buckmenster officiated
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 found under his name in the
list of Head-Masters on page 8 of the 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 discipline 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 architect who built our
State House and the Capitol at Washington, Mr. Thacher, Mi". Wells, and
the rest of the Committee if there were more, or their friends, came to school
and introduced Mr. Benjamin Gould as the new Master. Mr. Thacher ad-
dressed us, and expressed every confidence in the high merit of Mr. Gould
as a scholar and a gentleman, and congratulated the boys upon his appoint-
ment. As soon as the Committee took their hats and turned from the door,
the boys began to buzz their opinions of the new 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 library, which
was immediately begun and grew rapidly. He valued good speaking, and
Saturday morning was devoted to declamation. He did not forget his pupils
when they entered college, but came to see them there, and especially if he
found that they were losing ground in any department of study. Mr. Gould

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 51

one day informed the School that there was a rumor that the British govern-
ment was going to send a hostile fleet to Boston harbor, and that a gentleman
had desired that the boys of the School should give one clay 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 street the next day at nine o'clock,
when a boat would be in waiting to carry 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 part 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 was 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 kind, or if severe in aught,
The love he hore 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 poor, puny, 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 Master Gould used to flog us in a noble way,
but it was over very 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.

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
tardiness, 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 abseyice, before he could be again
admitted to his place. This 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 school-house, and
the room appropriated to the use of the Latin School, which had
hitherto been confined to the upper 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. Leverett, 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 happy one. I know nothing more regular,
more scholai'ly, and, in school days, more completely limited to learning
and reciting lessons. Four times a day, back and forth, I passed from School
Street to Pinckney Street, varying the route a little by passing the Park Street
corner of the Common, or going around Beacon Street. Four times a day,
every week day, accompanied almost always down or returning by one or
more schoolmates ; and as far as I recollect there was very little thought of
influence over the scholars, behind that of instruction and discipline in learn-
ing. I cannot 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-
pied 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 important 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 that since my time there
has perhaps been more of that influence on the part of Masters over the
scholars than during my period. There was not very much need of punish-
ment, and I don't think punishment was administered when it was not needed
dui'ing my experience with the School. ******

As for the service of education, I suppose there will 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 wish 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 fundamental discipline in
those school days, there is no hard discipline, even in real life, that can
repair the mischief that they have suffered. It would seem to ine, therefore,
that discipline we had at the Latin School. I certainly was 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 whole ped-
igree and relation with large nouns and words that I never expected to meet
in my subsequent life at all ; but having learned that, I could learn other
things very easily. Now 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 wish my boys could have such a gram-
mar as I did, and if they learned it as well as I did, they would have learned
a great deal more towards the mystery of Latin than from the improper
instruction in the large grammars that they now have.

Mr. Leverett resigned in 1831 to take charge of a private school,
and was succeeded by Charles K. Dillaway, a pupil 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 will be seen by the Cata-
logue, the number of pupils increased, large accommodations were
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 warm esteem by
the generations of the School, both the few survivors of his pupils,

54 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

and those who have succeeded to their places. He is, and has been
since 1860, the president of the Latin School Association.

In 1836, on account of ill-health, he resigned 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 years of a rich and ripened 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 prosperity, 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 his fashion one session. We would not any of us send our hoys to
the Latin School of sixty years ago, if it could be restored to School Street.
* * * * I don't pretend to have been happy in the School, in the work
of the School, as I think boys should be happy in the work of their school,
and as I think and know that boys now are happy in the work of a good
many schools.

* * * I will mention two reasons why we may stand by this School
under all circumstances to help and perpetuate. The strongest feeling is a
great admiration and profound respect for the purpose of the School, of
training boys in more liberal ways, beyond the narrow limit of immediate
utility, and of giving them knowledge of studies which shorten and cheer
human life. It is the purpose of the School which raises it in our eyes.

* * * * And then there is another strong feeling which comes to my
mind whenever the Boston Latin School is named. I mean the sentiment

of intense local affection and pride. We all of us love this good city of
Boston. ******* -y^e know in this old town of Boston, which
grew up about meeting-houses and school-houses, about some fort-crowned
hills 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 purpose, so unremitting in its work, has a pro-
found effect in moulding and determining the character of this people.
And, therefore, it is because we love Boston that we desire to see this
School live and thrive, bearing the same honored name, having the same
high purpose, and maintaining its original 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, with 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 protesting against all cant, superciliousness and
untruth. All who came under his instruction during his more than forty
years' connection with the School will testify to this, when they remember his
devotion to truth in language and manner, which, if it seemed crude and
austere in 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 in 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 course 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 the gymnasium, and early
in his life the daily walk to Roxbury Neck ; the only relaxation looking in
at the book-stores in search of something that 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 his work in teaching

xaj largely through the medium of Latin ; 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 (French) language so extensively and so thoroughly

He had 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 the subject of his profession, and was always ready to welcome the
thoughts of any man of real experience or knowledge His knowl-
edge was exact and always ready for use He always studied sub-
jects

That iron frame and those immense powers gave him great capabilities
for work, for he never used them to fatigue. No ordinary toil or care could

weary him Thorough and systematic in instruction, he trained his

pupils to good habits of study, to mental accuracy, and solid foundations of
learning.

.... The great object that 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 certain

grim 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 the very day of
his death. He was thus the first Head Master to die in office since
the death of Ezekiel Cheever.

From Dr. Dimmock's address and from the recollections of his
pupils, a most valuable biography of Dr. Gardner might be prepared.
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 would not paint him in colors so
glowing as those Dr. Dimmock has used. It is well to have had
that, so creditable, side of his character, so strongly presented. It

may be well not to attempt to present a reverse side.* Those who
were pupils under him, however, will be glad to have preserved the
half humorous, half serious sketch embodied in the poem delivered

*The following- communication appeared in a Boston newspaper, soon after the delivery
of Dr. Dimmock's address :

REMINISCENCES OF FRANCIS GARDNER.

To the Editors of the Boston Daily Advertiser:

I think many of Dr. Gardner's pupils will agree with me that there has been much
indiscriminate eulogy of that worthy man. Integrity of purpose, devotion to work, a
manliness (which saved him from petty meanness, but not from irascible wrong headed-
ness,) good sense and sound morality, 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, who 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, who 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 rules, was almost a profanity, and might have had demoralizing consequences,
but I think did not. Possibly his best boys may have had particular attention from him.
Dr. Dimmock seems to have drawn an inspiration from him in which few others shared.

Hi9 dress was negligent and his manners and language homely. He affected a certain
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 pi'eferenee 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 from 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 any enthu-
siasm for learning he did not make us feel it. He gave us few glimpses of the attractions

by another of his pupils at the dinner of the Latin School Associa-
tion which we have placed in the Appendix.*

Dr. Gardner was Master of the School during the 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 Amherst 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 1856, who was appointed
Head Master in June, 1877. He was appointed an usher in the
School in 1858, and has been connected with it ever since, so that
he is thoroughly acquainted 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 publication has
been undertaken.

of classical literature. I cannot recall a single remark of his with anything 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. Gardner
had been as intellectual a man as, for example, the author 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. Dixwell, then the Head Master
of the 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 than
Dr. Gardner.

So that I look back upon him chiefly as a routine teacher, admirable of his kind, and
strong in all that relates to character. I think he meant to do his best for us, and that we
owe him much. May Boston always keep his memory green in her civic annals as that of
one of her most honest and useful servants.

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 59

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 proper 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 responsibilities 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 provides,

That there be one School in which the rudiments of the Latin and Greek
languages shall be taught, and scholars fully qualified for the Univei*sities.
That all candidates for admission into this School shall be at least ten
years of age, having 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 : —

That the Latin Grammar School be divided into four Classes, and that the
following Books be used in the respective Classes.

Then follows the list of books already mentioned in the note on
page 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 manner 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 ; * * *

* See Appendix L.

60 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

After Mr. Gould became the Master, further changes were made,
by which the curriculum was much increased. In his article in the
Prize Book, from which we have already freely drawn in these pages,
he himself gives an account of the subjects studied, and the methods
used in imparting instruction : —

The scholars are distributed into six separate apartments, under the care
of the same number of instructors ; viz. a Principal, or Head Master, a
Sub-Master, and four Assistants. For admission, boys must be at least nine
years old ; able to read correctly and with fluency, and to write running
hand; they must know all the stops, marks, and abbreviations, and have
sufficient knowledge of English grammar to parse common sentences in
prose. The time of admission is the Friday and Saturday next preceding the
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.

When a class has entered, the boys commence the Latin Grammar all
together, under the eye of the Principal ; where they continue until he has
become in some degree acquainted with their individual characters and
capacities. As they change their places at each recitation, those boys will
naturally rise to the upper part of the class, who are most industrious, or
who learn 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, another division is in like manner taken off; 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 number to drill together.

In this way boys of like capacities are put together, and the evil of having
some unable to learn 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 are 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 with the habits of the School. And further, as writing 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 that
stays till twelve should be in each room, to afford 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.

When this distribution is made, the boys continue for the year in the
apartment in which they are first placed, unless some particular reason
should exist for changing them; or when the higher divisions attend the
Sub-Master for instruction in Geography and Mathematics, to whom these
departments are committed.

HISTORICAL 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 the lesson for the evening, which is usually a written
exercise, or a portion of Latin or Greek to be committed to memory, is in
a different depai*tment from the studies of the day. In this way the aid of
excitement, from the 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. * * *

At the close of every month the boys in each apartment undergo 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 instructors 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-
factory 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 account 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 writes 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 commit to memory 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 difficult to make
boys commit thoroughly to memory at a subsequent period, what they have
been allowed to pass over in first learning the grammar. It takes from six to
eight months for a boy to commit to memory all that is required in Adam's
Grammar ; but those who do master the grammar completely, seldom find
any difficulty afterwards in committing to memory whatever may be required
of them. * * * *

The examples under the rules of syntax are the first exercises in parsing.
The Liber Primus is the first book after the grammar. 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 Graeciae Historic Epito-
me, Viri Romae, Phaedri Fabulas, from Burman's text, with English notes ;
Cornelius Nepos; Ovid's Metamorphoses, by Willymotte; with particular
attention to scanning and the rules of prosody. Portions of Ovid are com-
mitted to memory in the evening that were translated in the day, and verses
selected from them for capping, which is a favorite exercise with boys.
Valpy's Chronology of Ancient and English History, Dana's Latin Tutor, for

writing Latin, and Tooke's Pantheon, with the books already mentioned,
comprise the studies of the second year, The Greek Grammar is now com-
menced, if it has not been before, Caesar's Commentaries and Electa ex
Ovidio et Tibullo. Then follows the Delectus Sententiarum Graecarum, a
most excellent little book for the commencement of Greek analysis.

And here particular care is taken that no word be passed over till all the
changes of which it is susceptible be gone through, and the rule given for
each. Much depends on the manner in which boys are introduced to a new
study. They like what they can understand. Hence it not unfrequently
happens, that lads properly initiated into Greek, soon prefer it to Latin and
every other study. The Col. Gr. Minora follows next, with 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 the book is entirely written through 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 neighbor's, and so on, through the class. The boy
at the bottom reads theiEnglish, a sentence at a time ; and the teacher reads
the same in Latin, from the exercise in his hand, marking with a pencil such
words as are wi*ong. Where the sentence admits of variety, each form is
given. The boys in the mean time mark all words differing 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 corrected, and has a second reading with the 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 effectually secured by the interest each boy has in
noticing the mistakes of his neighbor, and the liability of having all marked
to his own account, which shall appear on second reading not to have been
noticed in the first. But this 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 correct Latin, Valpy's Ele-
gantias Latinae succeeds it. This book is a very valuable auxiliary in teach-
ing 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 authors,
with many judicious and critical remarks on the rules of construction, and
the use of words, with a key, separate from the book, to be kept by the
instructor, where the original passages may be seen by the learner, and
compared with his own Latin. When boys can write Latin prose grammati-
cally, they are required to make nonsense verses, or to put words into verses
with regard to their quantity only. When the mechanical structure of differ-
ent kinds of versification is familiar, they have given them a literal transla-
tion, of a few verses at a time, taken from some author with whose 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 with the original.
Bradley's Prosody is used for this exercise. Afterwards portions of English

HISTOKICAL 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 poets 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 third and tenth Satires of Juvenal entire ; all the poetry in
the Grasca Minora; and many hundreds of verses in Homer. This is an
important exercise to boys; and without it they can never write Latin
prose or verse with the same facility as with it. It is in this way
that the idioms of any language are gained, and in writing verses the
quantity and proper use of most words employed by the best writers
are instantaneously determined by recalling a verse in which they occur.
Cicero's select orations, De Officiis, De Senectute, De Amicitia, Horace
Exp., Juvenal and Persius Expur. Greek Primitives, Xenophon's Ana-
basis, Maittaire's Homer, Greek Testament, Wyttenbach's Greek Histo-
rians, together with the aforenamed exercises, and Geography, Arithmetic,
Geometry, Trigonometry, and its uses, Algebra, etc., form the studies of
the last two years.

The study of arithmetic is commenced the latter part of the third year, or
the beginning of the fourth, with Colburn's " First Lessons." Recitations in
this are made two or three times each half day by those who are studying it.
The bo}rs are not expected to commit to memory the answers to the several
questions, but to find tliem repeatedly before the recitation that their answers
may then be given with more facilit}^ ; and, in order that the operations, by
which they solve the questions, may be strictly intellectual, numbers are
often announced by the instructor different 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 wrong. After all the questions in a section have
been understood, and solved, each boy is called upon to state the general
method of their solution, or the rule 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 from 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 passes 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 different forms as possible, they are furnished with the
rule, and required to commit it to memory. The blackboard is also used,

64 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

to show the method of arranging their work with the greatest economy
of space and labor.

In Geometry the diagrams of Euclid are taken off, first on paper, with
figures instead of letters, that nothing may be committed to memory without
being understood. When they have been demonstrated from the paper, they
are afterwards drawn by the pupil on the blackboard, with figures ; when
the proposition is demonstrated without a book, or any aid to the memory
whatever. Worcester's Geography is the text book in that branch ; and here
constant and particular use is made of the maps. The boys are required to
find upon them the rise and course of every river, the situation of each town,
etc., in their lesson ; and beside getting the text of the book, to answer any
question which may arise upon the map of the country whose geography
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,
Hedericus, Scapula, Morell's Thesaurus, Walkers Classical Key, Lem-
priere's Classical Dictionary, Adam's Roman Antiquities, Entick's and Ains-
worth's Latin Dictionary, 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 take part in it.
After a boy has spoken, and the presiding instructor has made such ob-
servations as he sees fit, any individual of the class that is speaking has
a right to correct 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 maj7 be done by any boy in the 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 higher division,
or a higher class, who have distinguished themselves, by maintaining their
place for a given time at the head of the division in which they recite. In
this way, a scholar sometimes gains one or two years in the five of the
regular course. Cards of distinction, to such as deserve them, are also given
out once a month, in presence of the whole School.

We have allowed Mr. Gould to tell at this length, of the studies
and methods of the School, because the impression made by him
upon its character and discipline was so strong that, except for varia-
tion in the text books, this description would answer for almost any
time in the forty years subsequent to his mastership, and the pupils
of those years will there find, recalled to themselves, the manner
of their own recitations and the discipline of the School, 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 certifi-
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 running
hand ; understand mental arithmetic, and the simple rules of written arith-
metic ; shall be able to answer the most important questions in geography ;
and shall have a sufficient knowledge of English Grammar to parse common
sentences in prose. A knowledge of Latin Grammar shall 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 shall continue six years ; and no scholar
shall enjoy the privileges 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 years or less, if willing to make due exertion ; and shall
be advanced according to scholarship.

mittee to the Latin School: viz., every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon
throughout the year ; Christmas Day, New Year's Day, the Twenty-second
of February, May Day and Fast Day ; Artillery Election ; the Fourth of July ;
Thanksgiving Week ; the week immediately preceding the first Monday in
March ; one week, commencing on the Monday preceding the last Wednes-
day in May ; the two days of public exhibition 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 School, Mr. Merrill, at the dinner of the
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 be that there are
some here, who believe that the School is not a useless incumbrance upon the
lax-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 the
School since 1870, and make known its present condition and aims. There is
a quiet but disagreeable rumor abroad that it has lost its proud name of
superiority among the preparatory schools of the country, and has been out-
stripped by its younger and more fortunate rivals. In the first place I shall
attempt to prove that for six years it was not a " preparatory school," and,
in the second place, if the rumor be founded in fact, there is no occa-
sion for any alarm, distrust, or discouragement now. It must and will regain

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 67

its vantage-ground, if left to pursue its way without further interruption.
No institution of learning can pass through the abrupt changes in its cur-
riculum, methods and teachers, which the Latin School has passed through
since 1870, without suffering a diminution of power and thoroughness in
scholarship.

What these changes have been I will briefly state, and I invite your espec-
ial attention to the following order offered to the School Board and adopted
September 8, 1868 :—

Ordered, That a committee of nine be appointed to consider the subject of
establishing an institution of learning in which the 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 full and liberal course 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 course 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 observed that the object of this order was to destroy the identity
of the Latin School. It was at first proposed to establish a free acadenry,
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 Mr. 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 report,
which is quite long and condemns the method of teaching Latin and Greek 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 with 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 determination to introduce
into the public 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 twelve years. Twelve boys
only were admitted to the regular course 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 pupils for each in-
structor was reduced to twenty-five. The expenses 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
teachers in their attempts to control their classes. To use his own words,
" Each man must paddle his own canoe." In some instances disorder and
insubordination reigned. That Dr. Gardner was not in sympathy with the

'0 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
learning was rapidly passing away. Evidences of his declining health be-
came apparent, and he was in a chronic state of despondency 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 permanent in its
effects, was a distrust in the community 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 the School in November, 1875, as Acting Head
Master, during Dr. Gardner's illness ; succeeding him in June, 1876. The
new board of education was organized at the time, I think the very day,
of Dr. Gardner's death. One of the first acts of Mr. Gay and the board,
relating to the Latin School, was the preparation and adoption of a course
of study to supersede 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 Harvard. While 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 enth*ely
practicable. It meets with general commendation, and many parents have
expressed the desire to place their sons in a School which afforded a cotuse
of study so admirable in all respects. This course was adopted by the
School in September, 1876, one month previous to my appointment as acting
Head Master. Mr. Gay was greatly interested in its adoption, and felt that
the School was entering upon a new and more efficient 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 within the period of a single year two Head Masters
terminated their labors in the School and passed from this life to another.
Though we reverently and submissively bow to these dispensations of God's
providence, yet such a loss and the consequent changes must necessarily
prove detrimental to the highest welfare of the School. Both have gone
to their rest after a life of entire consecration to their profession, and there
are many ready to rise and bless their memory . Bequiescant in pace.

It has been shown that the School had no definite aim from the year 1870
to the time of Dr. Gardner's decease, or perhaps better, the unattainable aim
of " general culture." The highest of aims you will say, perhaps. I grant
it. But the pupils, or their parents, desired to avail themselves of the advan-
tages of the Latin School for only one stage in this pursuit of " general

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 Master, 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 years, 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 f athers were when it was a select school, pi-incipally, 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 pupils do not all bear the names, nor are the lineal descend-
ants, of our glorious old forefathers who came over here in the Mayflower ;
some even bear names of those who have come over in vessels of a later date.
But I am confident in the opinion that you cannot find in any public or
private school in this country four hundred and thirty lads more cultivated
or more intelligent than those in the Boston Latin School of to-day. * * *
They are treated as gentlemen, and they are gentlemanly in return ; they
are taught to respect themselves by the confidence placed in them ; their
statements are received as true unless there are the strongest reasons for
doubting them. * * * * * It is the aim of the teachers to inculcate
principles of morality, honor and patriotism, 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 Regulus 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-payei's of Boston, and
is open to all boys who wish to prepare for college.

The departmental 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 department. The
four lower classes, consisting of seven divisions, are placed in charge of
teachers who take them along in all branches, except music and di'awing.

72 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

All the instructors have been selected with great care by the committee,
and, most of them have already met with the highest success as teachers
in 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 whole School
seems to be well classified, based upon the records of last yeai-'s work, and
a rigid examination in all studies given to each pupil at the close of the
year.

Mr. Capen, the Senior Master, who spent an entire vacation in Germany a
few years since, in examining the methods of instruction in the best schools
for secondary education, asserts, without fear of contradiction, that the
methods in our School are as nearly like those of the best German gym-
nasiums as they possibly can be without transjfianting the entire German
system to America. When he presented for their inspection the coui'se of
study of which I have already given you some extracts, they looked at him
with surprise, and asked him if we accomplished all that. * * * *

I will close with a brief statement of what the School has done for those
who left us the past summer. If the verdict must still be only ten per cent,
of what is accomplished in some foreign schools, it certainly is a veiy fail-
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 — twenty-three to Harvard,
four to Amherst, one to Yale, one to Dartmouth, one to Williams, one to
Wesleyan, one to Boston University, one to West Point and one to the Agri-
cultural College in Amherst ; two more have entered immediately upon 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-seven. 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 New England colleges. A very fair per cent, of
these applicants were admitted without " conditions," though not so lai'ge as
will be, we trust, in future years.

The following year, speaking of the requirements for admission to
college, and the work done in the School to prepare the pupils to
meet them, he 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 the
effects of these changes upon the preparatory schools. * * * *

Twenty-five years ago, and for several succeeding years, the requisitions
for admission to college embraced four subjects in Latin, four in Greek,
three in mathematics, ancient and modern geography, and elements of
ancient history, in all thirteen subjects. French, English composition,
physical geography and physics (or one optional branch of three in natural

science) , have since been added, so arranged with the others as to make six-
teen subjects. In French, the candidate is required to translate at sight a pas-
sage of easy prose ; in English composition, he is required to write a " piece
of English, correct in spelling, punctuation, grammar, division by para-
graphs, 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 groups of subjects,
viz. : Latin, Greek, mathematics, physical and natural science; a maximum
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 be read in the preparatory school is con-
siderably less in Latin and somewhat less in Greek. But the candidate
cannot, in my opinion, be suitably prepared 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 minutiae 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 taking 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 accomplish 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 work imposed : and this brings me to the consideration of the most im-
portant part of my subject, to which I would call your especial attention.

What 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

74 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

the Latin School Saturday has become a holiday ; the summer vacation is
extended from six weeks to ten or eleven weeks ; gymnastics, or military drill,
music and 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 pertinent here. It used to be a common remark that the
Latin School graduates had little to do during the Freshman year. This was
undoubtedly true. * * * * But that day is past. The Freshman is
required now to enter a new and almost untried field of labor, and to do work
as difficult as in any year of his whole course. If well informed on one or
more subjects, that fact is ascertained by the examination for admission, and
he is placed in an advanced division. Therefore, it will be seen that students
no longer do a part of the college work in the preparatory school. The
preparation, however perfect, becomes the basis of more advanced and
difficult work in the college. This is as it should be. Furthermore, 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 grade of scholarship at
Harvard and elsewhere is fully understood or appreciated, even by gradu-
ates, as late as ten years ago.

Notwithstanding this increase in the requisitions for admission, the growth
in the college curriculum, the pruning of the school year with us, and the in-
troduction of exercises in the weekly round of school duties not absolutely
necessary for the examination, yet with many parents the desire remains that
entrance to the college be gained in the shortest possible time, too often
regardless of the state of preparation.

No additional legislation is required to meet the difficulties of the case,
because the regulations of the School Board provide for a course of eight
years, to begin at nine years of age. We find, however, by experience, that
candidates of that age cannot pass our examination 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 school at ten, but come later — from twelve to eighteen — and, whatever
their ability, or previous acquisitions, 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, after trial, that they cannot be prepared for col-
lege in the time that they have assigned for this part of their education. * *

It appears to me that there can be but one deduction from these facts. A
more thorough and complete preparation than ever before is absolutely
necessary, both for a successful admission to college and for the 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 September 1 about forty lads have been refused
who wished to become pupils. Dr. Gardner rarely refused an applicant.
Such a policy this year would have carried the number to nearly 500 pupils.
Would this 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 Avill be room enough and to spare. It is
expected that the new School-house, situated on the square bounded by 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 instruction of the School, faithful 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 gained 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 discipline. Its moral tone is excellent, of which I have
had several proofs this term. The pupils appear to be impressed 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 fai'ther from the goal of perfection the more one struggles to
reach it. Still, we shall persevere in striving to give the pupils 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 iu 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 the School 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 terminated 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 the School signally failed, and in
truth was more in the nature of a personal attack upon the then Head Master
than an honest desire for reform. Fortunately for the School and the city no
one of these proposals- was adopted; but, unfortunately, for the last six
years of its history, a plan was adopted that has proved itself impracticable,
and even impossible, of execution.

The curriculum of the School has ever been one of severe and rigid dis-
cipline in the ancient classics, based upon the established opinion 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
graduates of this School and of the other classical schools of the country, who
were educated on this plan, even the most ardent advocates of new methods
must hesitate to call it false and absurd ; yet it undoubtedly is true that the
devotees of classical education recognize that the requirements of the times
necessitate a modification of the old methods of instruction in the classics, and
see the necessity of introducing into the curriculum the rudiments of modern
languages and various other branches of study.

The course of instruction at the School for the last six yeat's has endeav-
ored to revolutionize rather than reform the School. Its aim was in the
direction of a union of the High and Latin Schools, to produce 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, the best evidence of which is that it has failed to
fit pupils satisfactorily for the requirements of our colleges, that it has not
been approved by the teachers, or found acceptable to parents or scholars.
This year an entirely new curriculum has been adopted, based on the old
classical system, eradicating from it the parrot grammatical part, which was
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,
history, the sciences and English literature.

It will be seen that 1876 begins a new era in the history of Boston's most
venerable and most celebrated literary institution. It has been most wisely
decided to continue it as a distinctly classical preparatory school, with a new
and improved curriculum, in which a careful training in Latin, Greek, and
mathematics, and in the rudiments of the French and German languages is to
form the base, with general instruction in the elements of the natural sciences.

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 which it has most acceptably accomplished
in the past, and which requires a curriculum which shall anticipate a part of
the work provided for by the college. But the 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. In 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/ree 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 corrections 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 the
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 King'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 plain 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 called, at as late a period as 16G9 in a deed of Robert Right's, " the street
going up to elder James Penn's" (Penn's lot was where the Albion now stands) ; yet the
town school had been kept there since 1645 (sic). Proc. Mass. Hist. Soc'y xx, p. 318.

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 hi 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 the 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."f

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, t The same picture 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 well a9 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-house, 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 story, or at
most one and a half, as will be seen by 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.
Foote.

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 east end of the Church, which was town property. The petition
further prays the appointment of a committee to consider the petition,
view the premises and report to the Town.

Dr. Greenwood, in his History of King's Chapel, gives the further
histoiy of the proceedings : —

The town chose a committee to confer with the committee of the church,
and the result of the conference was a proposal that the church should have
the lot occupied by the school-house at the east end of the old building, with
the reservation of a passage way of ten feet wide into the burying-ground,
on condition that the school-house should be rebuilt by the church on a con-
venient spot in the vicinity. Thereupon the petitioners bai'gained 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 former could not be purchased without the latter. But the
Committee of the town, finding the latter piece a more desirable situation
than the other, rose in their demands, and insisted that a school-house should
be erected for them there. This came near to break off the negotiations, and
compel the church to rebuild according to the old dimensions. But Governor
Shirley and others came forward, and said nobly and sensibly, "that as the
Building was designed for Posterity as well as themselves, it would here-
after be deemed very injudicious if an advantage of enlarging it into a con-
venient and regular building should now 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 should follow the advice of
the committee, and substitute another petition containing the pro-
posals agreed upon after this mutual consultation, and meanwhile
should take a formal vote in regard to taking down and rebuilding
that 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 held after evening service
on Sunday, March 27th, when a vote to that effect was passed
unanimously.

The further action on the subject we give as it appears upon the
Town Records : —

April 4th, A. D. 1748. This meeting being called to consider
King's of the Petition of the Minister, Churchwardens, and Vestry of

wltlSrawB King's Chappel for granting e'm a piece of Land at the East

pence in Consideration of said Grant ; — The Gentn. who Petitioned for this
Meeting being present, desired the town would not at this time proceed
thereupon, but prayed they might have Liberty to withdraw their said Peti-
tion for the Grant of said Land, &c, — Whereupon It was Voted that the

withdrew the same.

of God there, setting forth —

That said Chapel which has constantly 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 Congregation out of Reg;ard to the Honour of God and for their own
Edification being very desirous that the Publick worship of God should be still
Supported and Carried on in said Place, have determined to Rebuild said
Church and make it somewhat larger more Comodious and Regular than 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 84 foot East-
ward for the Body 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 fronting the present School house
of like dimensions with 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. apprehend that the said Grant will be no detriment 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 New Built, and as the place
now proposed 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
from Bromfield Lane which if it be thought necessary the Petitioners have

modate the School, The Chapel aforesaid and other Neighbouring houses
Will be less in danger from Fire and such accidents, The Town Receive a

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 lmo 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 — Whether the Town have power to accept of the said Report of the Com-
mittee, the province Laws of the fourth of William and Mary, 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, notwithstanding, and It was Voted in the Affirmative. —
and then it was proposed 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 thereupon the Inhabitants were directed 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 passing the same as the Vote of the Town in
answer to said Petition were desired to write Yea, and such as were not for
accepting it to write Nay. And the Lihabitants proceeded to bring in their
Votes, and the Votes being brought in and Sorted it appeared that there was
Four hundred and two 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 wishes 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 fig for your learning ! I tell you the Town,
To make the church larger, must pull the school down.
Unluckily spoken, replied Master Birch, —
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
workmen 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 Avith 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, which 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 sterling1, and when the redemption of this issue began
in the fall of 1749, forty-five shillings paper were exchanged for a silver dollar.

as having two; who have, perhaps, confused their recollections of
this building with those 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, Dr. 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 street. 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 study.
Dr. Jenks tells me he has often sat with Dr. Warren* 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 Master's desk was at the south end on the right side of the
back door, which opened into a porch in 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 first class sat at times, as, I think,
for want of room with the others ; between this desk and the door came down
a bell-rope. Then going round against the sun were the seats of the third
and fourth classes, on the west side were 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 require, nor receive so much room and accommodation from, society
as at the present day ; which is evident to everyone who can compare from
his own knowledge, that School-house with the present one.

The cupola was at the extreme front of the building. There were no trees
on the School-house lot. The chimney was a rare one, if not singular. It
was of brick, about a foot square, 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, the 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.

1743- 1810.

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 89

Our next witness is Mr. Ebenezer Thayer of our Class of 1806,
who died in Brooklyn, N. T., in 1883, while these pages were still
passing through the press. His memory of the old School-house was
perfectly cleai*, 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 the rear of the School-house. When attending School
he probably entered through the yard, and came in at the back
door, through the porch described by Mr. Farrington. He says : —

I recollect in going down to the School-house hi the morning we entered
by the gate, and the door of the porch 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 ; then two long forms brought 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, which 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. There were two windows, one on each side of the door, with sills
fifteen feet from tbe 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 was 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 entrance 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 Avas sometimes used for recitations to the Usher, and rehearsals of

"pieces,11 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 flight of stairs (in a small addition to the back part
of it) led to the second story. There was a gate to the back yard* 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 the 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 staircase 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 Master Gould, and that on
the opposite side of the street, where the City Hall now stands, there was a
square wooden building, where the schools for reading, writing, and arith-
metic, were kept under Masters Snelling and Haskins, 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 20 x40 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-
posed 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 student as it has become since
Artemus Ward described the College as pleasantly located there ; and the result of these
applications is given below :

Mr. Joseph Head (Harv. 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 circular 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 front, 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. Perry, 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 months of
1812-1813 and part of 1814 his recollections of it are not very definite. " I can only 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 sufiiciently large for the uses of the students, and was separa-
ted from the street by an iron fence."

Mr. Moses Williams, an aged citizen c-f 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 stoiy. The i"oof 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 (sic)* 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. "f

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 stoiy, giving it a
very awkwai-d 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 (Harv. 1807), writes 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.J 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 the 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 upper 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 lath 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 cf the School-house. In front of the
School there was a wooden fence of some kind and a gate opening between
the two sides, from a very narrow side- walk of brick, always 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 upon the building,
and Master Hunt, for a time, taught in Faneuil Hall. About 1812

the building was presented to the street, and the doors of entrance were on the sides of the
house, which could not be readily seen from the street."

A few days later Mi'. Thomas 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, and 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," and sends a rough sketch of a two-story 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-story 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, with 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 De 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 each 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 land on which the School-house was built belonged to, Mr. Thayer thinks,
and was probably given by Mr. Ezekiel Cook, who lived on the side of Cook's court, oppo-
site the School, and was the owner of much land in the neighborhood.

SECOND SCHOOL HOUSE ON SOUTH SIDE OF SCHOOL STREET.

1812-44.

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 93

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 saysf : — " 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 tbe 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-house, 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
higher 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 building (of which 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 1865, 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. Bi'immer
said he hoped also that the Common Council would ere long supply
means for the study of astronomy, for Avhich an observatory had
been raised on the present edifice; as he believed this study was
eminently calculated to bring into exercise deep religious feelings,
leading 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 place of the same wealth has so much been done for
the cause of common schools as in Boston. Of 19,000 children, 15,000
were educated at the public expense. No pains were spared to

render this system of instruction successful. The lot of the youth of
our city was most happy : 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 pupils 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
2>rovided 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 provided 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 Rowe (now Chauncy) 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

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 the floors beneath.

No one who was 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 being 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 company * called the Latin School Com-
pany, and carried by it throughout its service, crossed by a " John
Brown pike."

The walls were 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 be 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

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 97

At four o'clock this afternoon the old School-house on Bedford Street will
be opened for a farewell glimpse from the teachers and scholars who cherish
such abiding memories of the hours passed within its walls. To-morrow it
will be sold for removal, and its demolition will f ollow 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 Street at the corner of Anderson, where the Phillips
School now is. Records of school history of those clays read in spirit very
much like those of recent years 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 which they stood (pai'ticularly 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 was 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 boundary
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 Street 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
overrunning 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 Montgomery
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 within it, the field is almost limitless Details as

to the management of the School, as to the committees who 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 fai-ewell 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 LATIN" SCHOOL.

architecturally in stone, and intended to be fire-proof. It was begun
in 1877, and finished in November, 1880. The Dartmouth Street
front, which 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 Avidth of a room and its corridor, thus insuring the best 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 exhibition 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 pine.

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 arms
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 aud Montgomery Street
and the court-yards. The floor is of thick plank, calked liked a ship's
deck, and laid upon solid concrete. The hall is large enough to
accommodate 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 open timber-work, the wood being hard
pine, finished in shellac and varnished ; the walls of Philadelphia
bricks, laid 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 reached by longitudinal corridors running north and

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 99

south. The main entrance of the Latin School is on "Warren
Avenue. After entering the building, one sees on either side of this,
a mural 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
natui-al 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 pro-
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 draw 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

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 22nd 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

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 purposes
of public education. In appropriating the large sum, more than three-quar-
ters of a million of dollars, required for the purchase of land and construe-

102 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

tion, the citizens have shown their ancient and traditional interest in the
cause of free schools. By the laws of the Commonwealth this structure 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
great trust thus reposed in us is faithfully executed, so that the objects for
which this costly temple was erected may be successfully accomplished.
Believing that the committee fully appreciate their responsibilities in the
premises, and that the accomplished teachers who will minister here fully
recognize the 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 people of the whole
Commonwealth. If such results are realized, the building of this 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 these 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 1635, the English High
School in 1821. As there is a vast disparity in their ages, we cannot say
that they are ambo aequales aetatibus, but we may affirm that they are

Arcades ambo,
Et cantare 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 foundations 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 taxation
and representation are inseparable — enunciated by the liberty-loving emi-
grants more than a hundred years before the Great Declaration of the
United Colonies, is to-day the 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 them 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 1690 there were in New England as many graduates of Cambridge
and Oxford as could be found in any population of the same size in the
mother country. Mr. Savage, in his history of New England, asserts that
during the first part of that period there was in Massachusetts 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

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 103

American Literature, "no other community of pioneers ever so honored
study, so reverenced the symbols of learning ; theirs was a social structure,
with its comer-stone resting on a book. Universal education seemed to
them a universal necessity, and they promptly provided for it in all its
grades."

They declared in their laws that it was "barbarous" not to be able per-
fectly to read the English tongue, and to know the general laws. They went
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 charge 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 was illiter-
ate, as to academical education, to be called to the teaching office in such a
place as Boston." Mr. Powell "was a man of sense and good character,
and the objection to him was not that he was a layman, but that he was want-
ing in learning."

The public sentiment in respect to universal education was so strong as to
induce the passage of laws for its accomplishment, and as early as the year
1649 every New England colony except Rhode Island made public instruc-
tion compulsory by law. Every town containing fifty householders was
required to support a school for reading and writing, and every town
containing one hundred householders a grammar school, with a teacher
competent " to fit youths for the university."

They did this not only — to quote from the old law that — "learning might
not be buried in the graves of our fathers," but that they might baffle that
" ould deluder Sathan," whose one chief project is "to keep men from the
knowledge of the Scriptures, by persuading them from the use of tongues."

As the historian Tyler 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 with which to found a university ; so that while the
tree-stumps were as yet scarcely weather-browned in their earliest harvest-
fields, and before the nightly howl of the wolf had ceased from the outskirts
of their villages, they had made arrangements by which even in that wilder-
ness their young men could at once enter upon the study of Aristotle and
Thucydides, of Horace, and Tacitus, and the Hebrew Bible."

We can appreciate the public solicitude for learning when we recall the
noble declaration of the high-spirited New 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 popular sentiment. On the tombstone
of a young and promising minister who early died here was 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 who were deep
thinkers and studied the future, saw another value in popular intelligence.
They had been driven from the fatherland into emigration by the persecu-
tion of the English hierarchy, and were convinced that the English govern-
ment in their treatment of Dissenters would always reflect the intolerance of
the English Church. They therefore felt that the time would come — and,
perhaps, 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 which prompted their emigration, — civil and religious liberty.
The shadow of coming events was seen as early as 1633, — three years after
their landing here, — when the stout-hearted arid irrepressible Roger Williams
asserted the novel but prolific doctrine "that the people were the origin of
all power in the government." This political truth, fermenting 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 truth — 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 affairs, and the enforcement of those fundamental
rules and principles which are necessary for the protection of the rights of
the members of the body politic and the maintenance of social order ; that
such agent, like all agents, is responsible 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 government could
be established 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 incompatible with
liberty. They felt, in the eloquent words of the committee who recom-
mended in after years the establishment of the English High School, " that
to preserve tranquillity and order in a community, perpetuate the blessings of
society and free government, and promote the happiness and prosperity of
the people, there must be a general diffusion of knowledge."

Free public education was, therefore, made an important object of political
care and State policy, and the most generous provision for its support early
and unceasingly made. Liberal as our citizens are to-day in their appropria-
tions for the cause of popular education, they give no more — perhaps not
so much — as the colonists six years after their landing, when the subscription
towards the maintenance of a schoolmaster was circulated, headed by " the
Governor, Mr. Henry Vane, Esq.," for ten pounds, and Deputy Governor
John Winthrop, and Richard Bellingham, each for the same sum ; forty-two
others of that poor, God-fearing, but letters-loving community subscribing
according to their ability. Our Puritan ancestors felt with the great Roman

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 105

statesman and philosopher, that we cannot confer a greater benefit upon our
country than by instructing and giving a proper direction to the minds of our
youth. Quid munus Reipublicae majus — meliusve afferre possumus — quam
si juventutem docemus et bene erudimus?

The first school, as I have observed, was gathered in 1635, as soon after
the ari-ival of the emigrants as there were probably children to teach, when,
to quote the record, they " entreated brother Philemon Pormort to become
school-master for the teaching; and nurturing; of children with us."

There is some reason to doubt whether 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 chosen1' to the office of school-master in August, 1636, and it appears
that when the Rev. John Wheelwright was 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 tins
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 refined 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 was 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 part 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 community. We may safely say,
however, that to their teachings the people of Boston largely owe the moral,
religious, and intellectual culture which has so greatly distinguished them in
all then.' history — ab urbe condita — that to these they owe the formation of
that solidity of character which has ever made them the earnest advocates of
the principles of civil and religious liberty — the leaders in every social and
political reform, and the Mends of every measure for the elevation of man
and the promotion of civilization. We are indebted to these teachings for
the gi'eat influence we had in establishing the independence of the colonies,
and in shaping the character and policy of the government in the early days
of the Republic. We are indebted to these teachings for much of our won-
derful municipal prosperity.

We find evidence of the successful work of the Latin School, in its early
history, in the fact that it was able, with the Grammar School on Bennett
Street, and three writing-schools, to instruct all the youth of Boston previous
to the Revolution. At that time they accommodated about nine hundred
scholars. We find evidence of the success of the School in subsequent years
in the large number of its distinguished alumni 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 the young men were here prepared for admission
to Harvard College, so that during its long existence it has well discharged
the objects set forth in the law under which it was established, "to fit youths
for the university," 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 fortunate in all its history hi 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 the
Principal of this School we may indulge the confident expectation that its
character and reputation will be maintained in the future.

The English High School had its origin in the want that was felt in the
early part of this century for a school where those 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 taught
only at colleges. The Latin School, as has been stated, had for its chief
purpose the fitting of boys for the university.

These schools have occupied the same building 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 prosperity as long as mun-
dane things are permitted to endure.

This day is memorable and dear to our citizens and to all Americans as
the natal anniversary of the Father of his country. I invoke the blessings of
his spirit on these two institutions, that they may not only instill into our youth

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 107

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 who 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
trust of which these keys are a fitting recognition. Let me express the pro-
found satisfaction of the committee with the completion of the plans for the
accommodation of the 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
under circumstances which made it impossible to do the best work, or work
which was satisfactory to the teachers themselves. That they have been able
to maintain their popularity, under such conditions, and even to grow in
efficiency and usefulness, is due chiefly to the extraordinary good fortune of
the committee in securing and retaining a corps of instructors in both schools
unsurpassed for ability, and devoted heart and soul to the work they were
called upon to do.

The schools were never, we believe, in a stronger position than they are
now. They were never in a condition to do better work. With the facilities
which this building will afford, when our rooms are furnished, as I have no
doubt they will be, with suitable chemical, physical and philosophical 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 munificent liberality that has provided so
generously for the wants of these schools, and to the Committee and the
Superintend ent 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
faidt with defects when the work is done, but, take it all in all, we believe it
to be the grandest and most complete school-house in this countr}r, 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 commemorate 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 maintain these schools, and to the parents whose sons are to be
taught here. Let us have your considerate co-operation, your generous con-
fidence, and your hearty support, and we will make these 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, Head-Master 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 and
responsible position at the head of this great School, they have watched you
day by day, with increasing confidence in your ability, in your scholarship,
and in your practical sagacity. When you entered upon your duties, four
years ago, the school had suffered 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. I state what I know
from my own experience when I say it was a source of great anxiety to the
committee in charge. You have revolutionized it in these respects, and you
are fairly entitled to the credit of it. The Latin School was never in a better
condition, so far as its general tone and spirit are concerned, than it is
to-day. I do not believe its corps of teachers was ever so exceptionally
strong and efficient at any one time in the past, or so united in their efforts
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 school in this country. It
was the work of men struggling with the 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 was that of the early fathers of New
England, when they started to embody in a material and practical form 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 principle for the first time here, in the establish-
ment of this school, only five years after the settlement of this place, and
while the little colony was still hanging almost on the verge of despair.

The history of the School, therefore, dates back to the early infancy of
the colony of the Massachusetts Bay, to a period anterior to the founding of
Harvard College, and for a hundred years or more it was regarded as "the
principal school of all the colonies, if not in all America." It is, as we all
know, a preparatory school. It has always been regarded as such, and as
such in times past 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 be a priceless blessing to this community.

But though somewhat venerable with age, there is still abundant room for
growth . The standard of scholarship required for admission to our colleges

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 109

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 standai'd
of admission to the higher classes. To make such changes as may be needed
from 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 untiring devotion. The
conunittee, I need not say, will give you all the aid in their power, and will
cordially co-operate with you in your efforts to maintain the ancient renown
of an institution Aviiich was for many years regarded as by far the best pre-
paratoiy school in all America.

RESPONSE OF HEAD-MASTER MOSES MERRILL.

Mr. Chairman: — In receiving these keys from your hands, we are re-
minded 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 reposed in
us, lest we may forget that the influence of our work here is fai--reaching,
boundless as eternity itself.

The vocation of teaching is subordinate to that calling alone which 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 young, especially in the higher institutions of learning. This sentiment
has not altogether disappeared, though the occupations are now, practically,
distinct. A different course of study and a different 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 depend the broadest
development of man's character, his own well-being, the purity of society,
and the security and pei"petuity of our free institutions.

Therefore, may the pupils of this School ever obey the precepts of Divine
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 principal 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 ornament 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 entrusted 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-

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 hope, in days fa 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 lear.-.
fessions or in other position! equally important and influential, bringing
credit to the School, to the pupils then: honor to their native city,

After a brief address to the Ma-' r the Rngfinn EGga 9c ooL,
and a response from Mr. Waterhouse, Mr. Flint, turning to I
audience, then resumed : —

Ladies and Gentlemen : — It wou! ndy be improper for me to detain

aware that thi3 is a day of congratulation rather than of suggestion, an

tion, that I wish I could impress upon the minds of the parents of our "boys.
It is that, taking our community as a whole, we are too much inclined
to rely upon fine school-houses, 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 they cannot do all. They
ought to be regarded merely as supplementary to the more important in-
fluences of the home. We must not confound instruction with education.
The teachers of our public schools can have their pupils, 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 sufficient! j' self-reliant.
They are not so self-reliant as boys 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 they
ought to be workshops.

Now, there is no plainer axiom than this, that the mind grows only by its
own action. We cannot travel by railway from ignorance to knowledge.
The 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 can
aid by giving direction, but they cannot supply a lack of mental force.
They must rely upon 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 what I can do, to a certain extent, is just this : We can
stimulate mental activity in our boys. We can do something to encourage
them to greater self-reliance. We can impress upon them constantly the
idea that they must work out their own salvation ; that whatever we may do
for them, whatever teachers and schools and books may do for them, will
amount to very little unless they leai'n to rely upon themselves. There can
be no strong, stalwart, well-developed manhood that is obliged all the time
to lean on something outside of itself for support, and a true education ought
to fit a man to meet emergencies, to fight the battle of life manfully, and to
crown it with victory.

The choir then sang the beautiful " Hymn to Liberty."

The Chairman. — We are fortunate in having with us to-day the Chief
Magistrate of a Commonwealth that was the first to put upon its Statute
Book an act " to provide for the instruction of youth and for the promotion

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 instructors 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, industry 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 understanding 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 future 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 libeiiy 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 and support and elevate the standard of popular
education, — it is the spirit of this act that has pervaded and directed our
system 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 OP 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 expression.
But, in its spirit, it well emphasizes the demand of Massachusetts that her
children shall be instructed 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 truth, its inspiration
shall be humanity, and its fruit the citizen free and true. And let us not
forget that it is not the munificent gift of some princely magnate, but the
more munificent self-imposed contribution of the body of the people.

As a part of the great educational system, which from the first the
Commonwealth has fostered, these two noble schools belong to Massachu-
setts. The Latin School dates its beginning almost with that of the Colony.

114 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

It foreran Harvard College. " Among its teachers, at the opening of the
Revolution, it saw the older Lovell, a Tory refugee, and the younger, a
flaming patriot, at the side of those Massachusetts heroes, Hancock and
Adams. And, to-day, I see its scholars standing before me 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 Higginson] , is authorizing their instruc-
tion in military drill. And yet, as I behold their gun barrels ranged around
these walls, I am glad to see that their arms yield place to the citizen'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 sculptured
marble weeps over the record of its patriot martyrs. The names that have
won Massachusetts most glory for statesmanship, eloquence, letters, the
pulpit, and all well-doing, are, many of theni, written on its rolls. If it
could be typified in some life-like form, holding in its grasp not a spear but
a book, surmounted not by a helmet but by a scholar's cap, it would well
represent our Massachusetts common schools and stand as the American
Palladium, its eyes flashing fire at any desecrating touch, conscious that upon
its preservation 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
mai'vellous gi'owth of the city and the Common wealth. Whether the cause
of good learning has kept pace with the enlargement of its temples and with
the increase in the number of its votaries is not so certain. One might doubt
it in the presence of Winthrop, who sits here a graduate of this School, his
vigor unimpaired, chosen out from more than fifty millions of people, not
more for his great ancestral name than for his scholarship here first acquired,
to be the orator of the next great centennial of the American Republic. One
might doubt it, too, in the presence of Emerson, that other graduate who is
also here, and who is indeed wherever education and the culture of the soul
refine the air through which the spirit 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 them to the full, — if he lift a hammer, to strike
the nail on the head, — if he cleave a log, to strike it hi the very centre, — if he
argue a cause, to drive straight at the heart and the understanding. Given
this ability and the education thus to use and expend his power, 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 put to use and overflows,
it is never exhausted, because the whole mountain-side spontaneously bleeds
at every vein to keep it full. The difference of one man from another is less
in power than in the use of power. Command of words, mastery of language,
are not more the distinction of Webster and Burke than of the most brilliant
speculator in mining stocks, or of the head man in a New England village.

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 115

And yet how painful and pitiful is the daily spectacle of some graduate 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 topics of education. Whatever
in that is best has here always found its opportunity, and, I am sure, here
always will find it. Rather, speaking for the Commonwealth, and speaking,
too, for myself in connection with 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 progress, the delights of classical learning, the inspiration
of the 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 free, so easy in its access to the
rarest communion, as the scholai*'s. Not by accident is it that rhetoric and
poetry and the Greek and Latin classics have been called the " humanities.11
In one common humanity they link all ages, all times, all conditions.
Through these halls, many a boy, perhaps the humblest, a poet in Ins soul
and in his eyes, shall walk with Virgil hand in hand ; many a youthful
stammering orator have Demosthenes for his master, and many a lover of
letters repeat, fresh from Cicero's tongue, his matchless tribute in their
praise.

Noblesse oblige ! In her poverty 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
responded to the obligation, in his own self-respect, in his loyalty to her, in
his patriotism, in his usefulness in the world. May it still be bis, 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 Ins 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
Iris 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,
which are the best "humanities,1' "which are the ornament of human
society, and on which the Republican Constitution is structured."

The Chairman. — His Excellency has spoken so well for the Common-
wealth, as it stands to-day, that 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 Colony of the Massachusetts Bay, but he
was a reality here two hundred and fifty years ago, full of activity, earnest
in all good works, inspiring the settlers with courage and hope when they
were brought 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
structure. But we have a descendant in the direct line from him, whose

116 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

name he bears, and whose voice is always welcome, though too seldom heard
in our midst. It gives me pleasure to introduce to you the Hon. Robert C.
Winthrop

address of hon. robert c. winthrop.

Most willingly, my friends, would I have been excused from the call which
has 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 wholly wanting to such an occasion. On this
day of all other days,— associated, as it is, and will forever be, with the
grandest character in American history, or in any other merely human history,
— I am most glad to find myself among those to whom that character should
always be held up as their best 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 about Governor Winthrop, to whom so many just and welcome
allusions have been made in connection with my own name Indeed, you
will bear me witness, Mr. Chairman, that in accepting your repeated and
flattering invitations, I promised to say only a few words ; and I trust that I
shall not too greatly exceed the measure of my promise. There are, I know,
older graduates of the Boston Latin School than myself around me, — Mr.
Emerson, to whom you have given so marked and cordial a reception, Mr.
Dillaway, so long the Head Master of the School, and my friend, Dr. Lothrop,
to name no others. But they will all agree with me, and you will agree with
them, that any one who is obliged to turn back nearly threescore 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, then, ladies and gentlemen, only to manifest my earnest and
undying interest in these great public schools of Boston; to i-enew the
assurance of my gratitude as a citizen for all that they have done for our
city, for our Commonwealth, and for our whole country ; to testify afresh
my own personal gratitude for all that one of them did for me, under good
Master Gould, so many, many, years ago ; and to offer to them both, to their
pupils and to their masters, my warmest felicitations on the completion of
the noble edifice which they are henceforth privileged to occupy.

The dedication of a massive and magnificent schoolhouse like this —
destined, as we hope and trust, not only to outlast all, however young,
who are gathered here to-day, but to be the resort of our children and
our children's children in a far distant future — is an occasion, I need not
say, of most impressive and most suggestive interest. A well-remembered
English poet of the last century, in one of his celebrated odes, looked back
from a distance on the old towers of Eton, to prefigure and portray some
of the varieties of personal experience — prosperous or adverse, joyous or
sad — which awaited the young pupils of that famous seminary. And a
most dismal and doleful picture he presented of not a few of the little

victims, as he styled them, with countless ministers of fate lying in am-
bush around them, eager to seize and rack and rend them. No such
picture 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 our 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 strength 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 wisdom, and that
love of God which casteth out all fear, take possession of their hearts ; and
may His blessing be on all their worthy efforts, both as boys and as men !
But let them never forget that, under God, they ai'e to be the masters 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 grand, — 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 triumph,
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 expectations will rightfully be cherished of those
who are to enjoy these larger opportunities and advantages ? May we not
reasonably 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 structure, 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 beauty and grandeur of the building which the city has so
sumptuously 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
around 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 mansions, 0 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 length art free, —
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea !

Such lines might almost claim a place among the illuminated legends on
these walls. Certainly, their 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, who said : —

Mr. Chairman. — You are well aware that it is with no small reluctance
that I have consented to appear on this occasion. Bodily infirmities have
led to your indulgence now in placing 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 Pormort to become a school-master for the teaching and
culture of the young folk around," and when 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 these schools, now furnished with such magnificent preparation and
accommodation for their instruction, I cannot but think of what may be the
question arising as to the progress which has been made in the meantime in
that which is most important of all, — the real and substantial education of
the youth of Boston and of the Commonwealth. It is certainly true that
there has been great progress 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 there is a great deal to be done to secure the best
fruits of any of these forms of education. It has been admirably well said,
since I have been sitting in this audience, that it is not simply in the magnifi-
cence of the accommodation, in the beauty and grandeur of the structure, or
even in the extent of the appliances for education, that its great benefits are
to consist.

I know pei-fectly well, I think I may say, that there are very few of the
youth now before me who would answer to Shakespeare's description of the
"whining school-boy, with his satchel and shining morning face, creeping
like a snail unwillingly — to school," excepting hi the fact of the " satchel
and the shining face," for now, such are the attractions of our well-organized
schools, that the reluctance here referred to, and which has become some-
what classical in our language, is of rare, exceedingly rai*e, 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 which help the student to
teach himself, and we are learning now that real education does not consist
in the accumulation of mere knowledge, as such simply, but in the training
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 strengthened by the study of the classical languages,
and I know 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 partial degree 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 this little
School, — the first free school in Massachusetts, the first free school in the
United States, for we must remember that Boston was a very 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 century, from its beginning until its
close. Think what an array of great 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 tfor the
grand work of his logical philosophy ! Of Descartes, who was approaching
the zenith of his fame! Of Locke, who was just beginning to lisp his
mother's name ! And only seven years after, think of the bright Hlumina-
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 they 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 they have achieved, — a good
which achieved thus far is only an indication of transcending future good.
But while we feel that we are advancing in all departments of knowledge, in
philosophy, and in the natural sciences, let us not be too proud. Let us be

humble in our exultation, and remember what Carlyle has said, " Science
has done much for us, but it is a poor science that hides from us the deep in-
finitude 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 very largely, if
not wholly, to the early Puritan clergy. Most of them were educated men,
who had had the advantage of the best training which the English colleges
of that day could offer; men well to do in the world, and abundantly able,
had they seen fit, to send their sons back to the mother country to school ;
and it is to their lasting honor, be it said, that, instead of that, they preferred
to build the school-house here, hi 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 thought the best way to fight Satan was through the
school-house, and they seem to have entertained the idea that one of Satan's
artful dodges was to keep 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
you the Rev. Phillips Brooks.

ADDRESS OF REV. PHELLIPS BROOKS.

I should be very sorry, sir, at this late hour, to undertake to treat of the
relations of religion to science. I heard, several hours ago, in this meeting,
some excellent remarks that were made upon that subject, and I think I
must leave to the thoughtf ulness of this great assembly the garnering up of
the noble and wise things that were said to us by the Principal of the Latin
School.

I want to speak only a few moments, if I can restrain myself so. It is all
very well to talk about the magnificence of this new building. It is magnifi-
cent— and we are thankful for it ; but to me there is something infinitely sad
and pathetic this morning in thinking 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 upon 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 Ave 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 pinnacles 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 the
triumphant shouts with which its successor's walls are ringing. I cannot
help wondering what it thinks about it all.

But when I know, letting that old School-house stand before me for a
moment in personal shape, — when I know what a dear and earnest old
creature it was, — when I know how carefully it looked after those who

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 inspirations that ever came to us,
I cannot but think that the old School is noble euough and generous enough
to look with joy and satisfaction upon this new building that has risen to take
its place. And, as the old year kindly and ungrudgingly sinks back into the
generations of the past, and allows the new year 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 his
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 upon 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 purposes 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 the school -houses of
the generations of the past, — the tiling that links together the great schools
of the middle ages, and the schools of old Greece, and the schools of the
Hebrews, 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
things 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 Chapel and
this ; and that is the only thing that in the years to come will make these
schools truly the same schools that they are to-day.

When the Duke of Wellington came back to Eton, after his glorious career,
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
at 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 great battle ; but there he had learned to be
faithful to present duty, to be strong, to be diligent, to be patient ; and that
was why he was able to say, that it was what he had learned at Eton that
had made it possible for him to conquer at Waterloo.

And the same thing made it possible for the Latin and High School boys
to help win the victory which came at Gettysburg, and under the very walls
of Richmond. It was the lessons which they had learned here. It was not
simply the lessons which they had learned out of books ; it was the grand
imprint of character that had been given to them here. The Mohammedan
says, " The ink of the learned is as precious as the blood of the martyrs."
Our English High School and our Latin School have had " the ink of the
learned" and " the blood of the martyrs" too. They have sent forth young
men who have added to the world's wisdom and to its vast dissemination ;
they have sent forth young men who have laid down their lives that the
country might be perpetual, and that 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 Bedford Street ; and, with a boy's curiosity, I went into
the crowd, and peeped around among the big men who were in my way to
see what they were doing. I found that they were laying the corner-stone
of a new School-house. I always felt, after that, when I was a scholar and
a teacher there, and ever since, that I had a little more right in that School-
house, because I had happened, by that accident of passing home that way
that day from school, to see its corner-stone laid. I wish that every boy in
the Latin School and High School, and every boy in Boston, who is old
enough 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 other, through the echoes
that will reach them from this audience, with what solemn and devout
feeling we have here consecrated this building to the purposes which the old
building so nobly served, and in the serving of which it became so dear to us
all ; to the preservation of sound learning, the cultivation of manly character,
and the faithful service of the dear country, in whatever untold exigencies
there may be in the years 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 that great School, formed for the purpose
of keeping up early associations and for bringing their influence to bear for
the good of the School itself. It has contributed liberally to the excellent
library of the 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 practicable way. I have the honor to introduce to

address of charles k. dillaway, 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 was simple and unpretending ; its
advantages as an educational institution hardly above those of a village
school of the present 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 will tell you, sir, that among his wisest and most trusty
counsellors 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 administration.

Boston has come to us for many of its chief Magistrates ; — we claim His
Honor, the present Mayor, 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 year
of his administration, and has had the great benefit of his official influence
during the whole process of its erection. Indeed, sir, I very 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 building now given to us.
Our 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

124 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

the best in the city. Of course we 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 ? When
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 building 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 estimates.

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 we erected ? When the Sherwin School-house was built, some of the
wise men of that day prophesied that no member of the School Board would
live to see it filled. In less than three years it was full to overflowing ;
every seat was occupied, and the boys, like Oliver Twist, were asking for
more. The 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 other good qualities, have that of multiplying with mar-
vellous rapidity. But I must take no more time, sir, as there 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 M. 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, Jan. 24, 1881.

My Dear Sir, — I am very much obliged for the invitation to attend the dedication of
the new building for the use of the Public 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
very 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 servant,

CHARLES DEVENS.
Hon. Charles L. Flint,

Chahvnan, etc., Boston.

Addresses followed from the Rev. Robert C. Waterson, Presi-
dent of the English High School Association, Mr. Henry P.
Kidder, and the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Edwin P. Seaver.

The Chairman. — Ladies and Gentlemen: I had been depending upon our
friend, the Rev. Edward Everett Hale, to say a word as the champion of
militaiy drill ; but he was obliged to be in New York to-day, 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 OF COL. THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON.

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 entertainment 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 ground 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. When that petition, 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 very important constituency for anybody who expects
to be the President of the United States, — and up there we all do, every one
of us, — although there is nobody, except His Excellency the Governor, who,
if the whole truth were told, has much chance of it. Therefore, 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

126 PUBLIC LATLN SCHOOL.

upon the State House in such military style, and captured it so completely.
The thing was essentially done from the moment they came there. 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 was that there might be some extra teachers employed to teach dancing
at the public expense.

Thus twice in history has the prowess of Boston boys been vindicated. A
hundred years ago they went to General Gage and asked for leave to coast
upon the Common.* This year they went to the ruling powers and asked that
this drill-hall might not be converted into a hall without 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 ai*e also
graduates of the Latin School. They may have a divided affection, but each
School can fairly claim them as its children, and will always cherish a just
pride in their honorable achievements as if they were the outgrowth of its
own inspiration. We have with us a conspicuous example in Mr. Thomas
Gaffteld, who can define his position.

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 Masters Dillaway, Streeter, and
Gardner of the Latin School, and of Masters Miles and Sherwin of the
English High.

The remainder of Mr. Gaffield's address was more particularly
devoted to his reminiscences of the English High School.

The One Hundredth Psalm was then sung, and a benediction was
pronounced by the Rev. George A. Thayer : —

As God was with our fathers may He be with us and our children !f
May He bless 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 principles and example of Master
Lovell, adhered to the mother-country, and left names to be inscribed
in the annals of American loyalists. Others, influenced probably by
the teachings of his son, read more correctly the signs of the times,

and took their places among the Sons of Liberty. The first name
upon 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 decorum 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 the 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 proper 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 public services of dedication were held
in the Boston Music Hall, early in December of that year.

The exercises of the occasion were a report 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) :—

That here their boyish footsteps strayed,
As boys they worked, as boys they played,

Here in our ancient School.

Her duties stern, of faith and fact,

Were theirs from day to day ;
The rigid rule, the task exact,

To study, to obey.
Her stories of the olden times
In classic tongues' melodious chimes

Fell on their youthful ears,
And, by the oft repeated words,
Struck in their hearts responsive chords,

To sound in after years : —

The chief, who his ten thousand led

From Tigris to the sea, —
The consul, from whose thunders tied

The fiend of treachery, —
And what, m Virgil's song revealed,
Appeared in blest Elysium's field

To old Anchises' son —
How those who for their country fought,
When life was o'er and labor wrought,

A snow-white garland won.

They parted for each walk of life,

Nor met as boys again,
Till woke the land in civil strife

And called upon her men !
Then, as if once again there ran«;
The School-bell's unforgotten clang,

Gathered her boys once more —
To prove, in field, and camp, and mine,
The long-drawn siege, the clashing line,

Her lessons learnt of yore.

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 129

Her law the proudest crest could bend

To mandates higher still :
Her rules through every watchword send

The old precision's thrill :
And every tale of Greece and Rome
Swelled in their hearts and bade "strike home,"

Till on some field of death,
Blow after blow, with all the fire
Of Troy or Athens in their ire,

They yielded up their breath.

Now grateful for their work, we raise

This pious marble here,
To greet our boys' free, joyous gaze

As year rolls on to year.
And that sweet look shall nerve each soul,
And each impetuous heart control

Till eveiy eye shall burn,
In work more true, and play more keen,
A wreath like theirs forever green

By God-like deeds to earn.

Obedient, faithful, prompt, and brave,

What more could they have done ?
What fuller life, what holier grave

Could parent seek for son ?
They saved their country in her need —
What nobler name, what choicer meed

Could these our boys have earned?
What lesson, though our mother taught
All art, all science, and all thought,

Could boys have better learned?

Ay, let them from her forehead tear

The diadem away !
And all her ancient lore declare

Useless and dead to-day !
One priceless gem shall still be ours,
Above this age's boasted powers

To ravish or to give ;
That boys, by her old precepts trained,
Their country's flag and faith sustained

And died that she might live.

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 131

ORATION BY THE HON. WILLIAM MAXWELL ETAKTS.

Mr. President, and Ladies and Gentlemen: — 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 this city, with unaffected 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 days 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 school-boy of Boston. All my active
life has been passed elsewhere, and if there has been anything in it which
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 have 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 portraits and the forms and benches of the
boys, so that we might have felt that the occasion that drew us together
was represented by what we saw about us, and that no part was needed ex-
cept to give some suggestive lead, perhaps 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 what I am told is thus far
the only public monument to the memories of this war in this great city, 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
haunts, 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 produced this
emblematic mother full of exultation at the glories of her sons, full of grief
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 pre-
served, and why they stand separated from all the youth that ever graced

132 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

this city, from all the youth that have drawn their knowledge from this
ancient School, — separated forever from the living and from the dead. It
is for me only, as simply and as briefly as may be, not to suggest to this
audience, but rather to recall, some of the principal traits in the great con-
flict, some of the principal traits in the lives and sacrifices of these young
men which have made them memorable, and some of the considerations
which induced this commemoration, and may promise useful fruits to the
present and future generations, from this honor thus definitely paid theni.

" Pro Patria" is the motto of those whc have died for their country, and
for their whole country ; and yet this monument is raised to men who fell hi
a civil war. " For the King or for the Commonwealth, for York or
Lancaster," is the praise of loyalty in civil war; and yet the deaths in this
civil Avar 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 country." How shall we paint this, and yet
not claim for them what should be denied in other civil strifes ? It can only
be, from the nature of the conflict and from the part 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 their 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 political horizon
which presaged the immediate burst of war, to an observer who either was
not aware of the intense and vehement moral causes that were at work in the
bosom of this nation, or who did not believe in moral causes as producing
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 war, foreign or civil ; to such a one
none of the ordaining motives that should throw a great, a prosperous, a
powerful people out of their triumphant pursuits were evident.

Marching ever onward in the procession of time, and in the face of all the
world to greater and greater power of every kind, a nation rose out of their
strong and happy peace into the severities and hardships of war. Certainly,
no people were ever situated so as to be more secure against war contrary to
their will. Certainly, no people were so little tempted to war ; the territory
rounded out, the 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
aggression, no neighbor tempted to encroach upon us, and at home, out-
living, as we had 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 furnish food for contests, with
every facility for argument and discussion and the suffrage, and frequent
recurring opportunities to take the sense of the nation, which, once
expressed, implied the power, if need be, to enforce it. And yet, within
one year from that time, the forces were set against each other that showed

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 133

greater strength and greater courage, and more energetic purpose, than had
ever attended a war among men. As it progressed, 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 ai'guments 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 heritage such as ours ; for, to a people with our origin, with our
discipline, with our future, that had fondly hoped that all the 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, which 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
Mgher 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 spurned this election,
and determined that they would fight for and maintain the entire heritage
that they had received from their fathers ; that they would save the whole
country in every inch of its area, and the whole Constitution in every word
of its promise for the future. All that had made the progress of freedom,
and all that promised itself a secui'ity, was here put at issue against a
demand that liberty should stay its progress 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 principles 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, and will support every amount of public commemoration of
those who took a useful and honorable part in it. Now we have only to
see and to say what the pai*t was that these young men, our townsmen,
our school-fellows, our playmates did, in fact, bear in this controversy.
What was the quality of their motives? What the nature and description of
their sacrifices ? What the intelligence, what the acceptance, with which they
met this issue ? In the first place, we see at once that this population from
which 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 Massachusetts, 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 the weapons of war. So, too, these 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 them 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 approved and their intelligence
accepted. When you find that of the youth of military age that had come
out from this single Boston School, 287 served in this war, and when 1
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-three young men from each that
served in this 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 these youth were, and in this City,
having its hold upon the best and most universal sentiment of the people,
and of true patriotism, that could have thus crowded them into the ranks of
our war.

I cannot discover that there were any of them that, either by distinct voca-
tion or a particular devotion, had accustomed themselves to the arts of war.
I cannot perceive that there runs through the narratives and the records that
they themselves furnished of their lives, their conduct, and their motives, the
least touch of the love of glory, the least desire to exchange the fair promise
of peaceful service to the State for this new scene of action. I cannot say
that as the war grew upon them, and their 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 scene and into the scheme of
their action. I must, then, feel that these young men, carried neither by
chance nor by interest, accustomed by no education and no experience to any
of the toils, nor hardened to the dangers of the strife, who thus came and
bore their part in this contest, are in your judgment, in the judgment of
all their friends, in the judgment of all the country, in the judgment of the

future and of history, entitled to their personal participation in the great and
noble sentiments that urged on and carried through the great struggle.

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
young 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 country in which they lived, in the largest possible
measure, either by fortune or by principle, 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 pleasui'e of peace.
It was not because they did not appreciate the hardships of war. 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 country. 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 sufferers from the result of this conflict ! There
was suffering, plenty of suffering, by grief, by loss in this community, and
certainly diffused throughout the land, rebel and loyal ; but I propose to you,
fellow citizens, that as the result of this struggle there is no oppression, no
suffering, no loss, no harm anywhere throughout the world, but everything
is full of goodness. When 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 progress ? How is it
with other nations? There is no nation throughout the world which 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 relative conditions of the beaten and the triumphant
parties 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 the real moral basis on which we
proclaim and before this war felt our institutions rested, and on which they

136 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

were to be perpetual and secure. I know there are some public orators,
some statesmen, perhaps, who seeing this nation thus inflamed by war, and
its immense energies thus displayed, its great triumph and the great fame
that have attended it, think that a military spirit has been implanted in
the bosom of the people that will find in questions of policy and of interest,
in covetous ambition, and in the disposition to regulate the elections, a
preference for war over peace. But be sure that a war, such as we know
our civil war to have been, is the severest, the most earnest, and the most
intelligible lesson 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 very
different thing from a nation's disposition to espouse 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 sacrifice for great moral purposes in
the good of our nation and of the world, we have learned that war for war
is neither fanciful nor political, but involves sufferings which are only justi-
fied by the degree and firmness of the virtue on which they rest.

Now of the influence of this memorial statue, and this perpetuated 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 the war, much less the same nation it would be if it had shrunk
from the war, so this School for the future generations of its scholars never
shall be merely the same School that it was 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 there is no
boy that enters its doors, who does not, in the daily contemplation of the
bright names of these fifty-one young Latin Scholars, blazoned on the shield,
draw in the influences that open the mind to great 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 that at the call of duty and of
country these boys are to be as great heroes as the world ever saw. No
greater inspiration for good can be drawn from the memory of Warren and
Prescott than these boys ai'e to draw from the sight of this escutcheon of
glory and esteem. They are to learn this to be sure, that as the common
phrase goes, peace having its victories as well as war, peace, too, has 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 obligation of ful-
filling the call to duty for the country and for the good of men onlv to future
occasions of the battlefield. But as every greater includes the less, so in the
great conflicts which no man can tell how near they may be, for right against
might, for duty and honor against fraud, temptation, and bribes, the youth
of Boston, the youth of the Latin School, the youth throughout the land,
must be ready to perform their share in the contest at an eai'ly and a later
day, and forever.

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 137

Vigilance, enemies, dangers, are a part of the duty and the 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 happy 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 Ids fellows, propter vitam Vivendi 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 country and its
freedom 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 1868).

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 deportment 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, f
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,! 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

committee at the close of the School year, when 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 sum 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 acquired proba-
bly the largest collection of pictorial and other illustrations of Roman
and Grecian topography and antiquities 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, specimens of marbles from

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.

<&K<

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 publish
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 Lo veil's mastership, from 1784 to 1774, excepting

the last year, is in the possession of the 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 lists.

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 Rev. Dr. Homer,
of Newton, of our class of 1766. In 1817, or before that time, he made a copy,
now in the possession of the committee, of Lovell's manuscript catalogue. In
that copy he added the Christian names of several persons, and from his
manuscript the Christian names of the following scholars have been taken, for
which we have no other authority : — Peter Johonnot, Caleb Blanchard, 1738;
William Tidmarsh, 1744; William Gray, Thomas Pitch, Stephen Salisbury,
Henry Fletcher, Thomas Whiting, Eobert Williams, Nathaniel Waterhouse,
Jonathan Mitchel Sewall, Stephen Sewall,1755; William Sanford Oliver, Josiah
Waters, John Gore, Samuel Pitts, William Story, James Walker, Charles Jarvis,
Joseph Peirce, 1756; James Dennie, William Crombie, Jonathan Pollard, Samuel
Hughes, William Savage, 1757; Isaac Story, Gillam Butler, Thomas Hooper,
Samuel Gore, Edward Gray, Lendall Pitts, John Barrett, John Simpson, William
Cooper, William Coffin, William Philips, William Tyler, Thomas Melvil, Joseph
Hubbard, William Lewis, Ward Hallowell, Henry Pelham, Edward Gray, 1758;
Thomas Carries, 1762; Samuel Torrey, William Newman, 1765; Thomas Hulme,
Jeremiah Belknap, Benjamin Pratt, James Millar Church, William Rhodes,
1767; William Coffin, Thomas Coffiu, Sylvanus Bourn, Robert Calef, Benjamin
Cobb, Samuel Cobb, William Croswell, Thomas Amory, Martin Gay, Robert
Pierpont, Fitch Pool, Benjamin Homer, 1768; Nathaniel Taylor, Jonathan Perry
Coffin, William Coffin, 1769; 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 given 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 his 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,
1745; William Henshaw, 1746; Joseph Allen, 1757; Henry Knox, 1758; Joshua
Blanchard, 1763; Benjamin Vincent, William Palfrey, 1749; Francis Johonnot,
1762; Nathaniel Whitworth, 1764; Thomas Wolcott, 1766; Samuel Blodget,
Caleb Blodget, 1767; Mather Byles Brown, John Bartlett, 1768; Samuel Hol-
brook, 1769 ; John McLane, 1772; Johu Lovell, Samuel Lamb, Benjamin Homans,

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 difficult 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
printed 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 same class may have been
widely separated at school, while, of course, their members are
intermingled here.

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

VI 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. Nathaniel
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 till 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. ; to Joseph Sewall, Esq., Rev. T. C.
Thacher, Samuel Payson, Esq., Hon. Charles Jackson, Dr. James

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

VU1 PKEFACE.

to the f; t'5 meaning that the pupil completed the full course
in five years.

The interruption which will be noticed between April 19,
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 the rest. Until 1814 boys 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.

Boston, August 9, 1847.

EDITORIAL NOTE TO THE PRESENT EDITION.

The rules adopted by the Committee in preparing the Catalogue in 1847
have been followed in the present edition as far as possible. All names are
inserted under the year of entrance, and in cases of re-entrance are not re-
peated. Names of ordained ministei's are in italics. The name of the College
by which they were cow f erred is appended to all literai'y degrees, except that
Avhen a person is a graduate of any college, all subsequent degrees, if not
otherwise indicated, are to be understood as given by his Alma Mater, and
when no date is given, the degree was received in course.

The dates of death are given as perfectly as it has been possible to ascertain
them, but many have probably escaped our notice. A star against a name
signifies the death of the person, and two stars that he died while a member
of the School. With the names of instructors, all literary degrees and other
titles of honor are given under the highest official position held in the School.
On some of the pages the numerical order of the notes may be incorrect,
owing to the insertion in the plates of additional matter obtained after the
pages were stereotyped.

house early for examination.

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 First Church, Boston, "unto the Church of
Christ at the falls of Paschataqua, if they be rightly gathered and ordered." He afterwards
went to Wells, and seems to have returned to Boston.

Rogers were at Christ's. "Wilson took his first degree the year before Maude, and they
two are the oldest Cambridge graduates who came to New 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 25, 1636. Mr. Savage is mistaken in thinking that
the customary token of respect is omitted in the record: for he appears as "Mr. Daniell
Maude." It has been suggested that he sympathized with Wheelwright. But he was not
one of the signers of the "Remonstrance," — and, when, in 1642, 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. He left no children. Mather says he had been a minister in England :
Hubbard, that he was " a good man, of a serious spirit and of a peaceable and quiet disposit-
ion." His salary at Dover was forty pounds a year.

* The Town Record of Boston, says only "Mr." Woodbridge. We believe him to have
been the first minister of Andover, in whose 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.

See the letter of Gov. Thos. Dudley to John Woodbridge in Winthrop's New England,

schoolmaster shall have fifty pounds p. an. for his teaching ye schollers and his pportion to

1671 EZEKIEL CHEEVER* . 1708

Died Aug. 21, 1708.

* Ezekiel Cheever was born in London, Jan. 25th, 1614. There is 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 kept
school. He removed from there to Ipswich, Mass., in December, 1650, and was the first
Master of its Grammar or Free School. His first wife died in New Haven in 1649. At
jfpswich, Nov. 18th, 1652, he married for bis second wife, Ellen Lathrop of Beverly. He
next moved to Charlestown 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 should be called to, & installed in, the ffree 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 m his worke in the schoole ; wch Mr. Tompson beinge present
desired time to consider of, & to giue his answere : And vpon the third day of January
gaue his answere to Major Generall Leueret in the negative, he haueinge had, and accepted
of a call to Charlestowne."

The 6th day of 11 mo the Magistrates met again and " beinge met repaired to the schoole
and sent for Mr. Tomson who, when he came, declared his remouall 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 Mr 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 Secretary of the Commonwealth, is one
containing a petition from Ezekiel Cheever to Sr : Edmund Andros, Governor, that he may
continue in his place as schoolmaster and may receive satisfaction for the arrears 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 salery to be sixty pounds in money.

In 1699, his grandson Ezekiel Lewis, (q. v.) was 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 Ezekiell 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
written by him when in New Haven. This book passed through eighteen editions before
the Kevolution, 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 country." " 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 Harris says : — "I know of no elementary 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,"

Gov. Hutchinson speaks of him as "venerable, not merely for his great age, 94, but for
having been the school master of most of the principal gentlemen in Boston who were then

wise it would have been, by a supply of oil from his scholars."

t John Lovell, eldest son of John and Priscilla (Gardiner) 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 much 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 Faneuil Hall, 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 Bobert G. Shaw, Esq., hangs in the school hall.

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

PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

School-house, and to erect thereon anew School-house of like dimensions with the 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 LovelPs day the school house was of one story with an attic above, a cupola with a
bell in front, and but one school room. Master Lovell 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 Granary Burying Ground. The only exam-
ination for admission was in reading in the Bible. This was at Master Lovell's house. The
studies afterwards were the Accidence, Nomenclatura Brevis, Corderius, and later Ovid,
Virgil, and Terence, and those after the fourth 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 where 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
boys were also indulged with the privilege of sawing his wood and bottling his cider, and
of laughing as much as they pleased while performing these delightful offices.

Mr. Lovell usually passed the vacations, one of which was at Election, and 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."

* Samuel Hunt, son of John Hunt, of Watertown, born October 25, 1745. Studied
divinity, and preached some time at " Little Cambridge," now Brighton. Appointed
Master of the North Grammar School, Boston, and inducted into office April 20, 1767.
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 salary 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, 1816, he left Massachusetts for Lexington, Ky.,
and died there Oct. 8, 1816. He married, first, Mary Dixwell, his cousin, by whom he had
six children. Afterward he married Mrs. Elizabeth (Gibbes) Shepherd, of South Carolina,
and by her had six children. His descendants by the second marriage survive 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.

school in Salem, and then took charge of the Latin School in Boston, preaching occasion-
ally, and writing for periodicals. He afterwards taught a village school in Maine, and was
ultimately proof reader in the University printing office, Cambridge. In 1796, he edited
the Village Messenger of Amherst, N. H. ; he also edited and contributed to the Federal
Orrery and Mass. Mag ; July 18, 1799, delivered at Cambridge a Poem entitled Education ;

He wrote the " Carmen Sseculare," sung at the Centennial of Harvard College in 1836,
well remembered as a piece of amusing macaronic Latin poetiy.

A pupil who entered in 1813, says, that when he was examined for admission, the school
was kept in an old barn in Cole's Lane, now Portland Street, because a new building was
in progress on the School Street site.

t Benjamin Apthorp Gould born in Lancaster, Mass., June 15, 1787. His father was a
Captain in the Revolutionary army, and a member of the Society of the Cincinnati. The
family removed to Newburyport early in the present century. He studied in the schools
there and entered Harvard University in 1810, and, before graduation, was appointed, by
the recommendation of President Kirkland, to fill a sudden vacancy in the Mastership of
the Latin School, giving such satisfaction that he wa3 continued there, and allowed his
degree. Under his administration the school rapidly advanced in reputation and numbers,
till, from occupying only the third story of the old school house in School Street, it grew to
fill the whole building. Mr. Gould's personal influence in producing among his numerous
pupils a high standard of moral and intellectual excellence, was marked and powerful. His
kind aud uniformly just government gained the reverence and love of all who came under
his discipline. Whilst connected with the Latin School he published editions of Adam's
Latin Grammar, revised and annotated by himself; also of Ovid, of Virgil and of Horace,
with copious and valuable notes of his own. These were the standard editions for several
years. After leaving the Latin School, he became an honored and successful merchant in
the East India trade. He married Dec. 2, 1823, LucretiaDana Goddard, daughter of Nath-
aniel Goddard, Esq., a prominent mei'chant of Boston, and became the father of four chil-
dren. He died in Boston, Oct. 24, 1859.

X Frederic Percival Leverett, son of Benjamin and Comfort Marshall Leverett, born at
Portsmouth, N. H., in 1803. His father, who had been a merchant in that city, having
removed to Boston, he was educated at the Latin School, and at twelve was ready for
College, entering at the age of fourteen. After graduating he entered the office of Dr.
Jacob Bigelow, but the support of his father's family early devolving upon him, he gave
up the study of a profession, and was appointed Sub-master of the Latin School in 1824,

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 Cassar, 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 established 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.

Classics, with notes, viz : eight of Cicero, and one each of Plautus, Terence, Quintilian,
and Tacitus ; also, the Colloquies of Erasmus ; Boman Antiquities and Mythology ; History

often called upon to teach our language to foreigners, among whom he has had many
Japanese pupils. He married Martha Buggies Porter, daughter of Bev. Huntington Por-
ter, and has had five children.

Bar in 1833, and invited in November, 1836, to become Head Master of the Public Latin
School, and was inducted into office December 5, 1836. He removed to Cambridge in 1842.
In 1851, the City Council having voted that all their employes must reside within the city

1666 DANIEL HENCHMAN,*

* March 12th, 1666 The towne agreed with Mr. Daniell Hincheman for £40 per ann to
assist Mr. Woodmansey in the Grammar Schoole and teach children to wrighte — the year
to begin March 1 1665-6.

In 1668, Nov. 7, the General Court appointed Mr. Daniel Hinckman (sic) with three
others a Committee to arrange about the location of the town afterwards "Worcester. July
13, 1674, this Committee took a deed of the plantation from the Indians, where he is called
Daniel Hinchman of Boston, brewer. In the record of the General Court, May 19, 1683,
approving the plan for laying out the plantation of Quansiggamon, (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 the force returned to Boston. He was
ordered to disband his men some time in midsummer.

Nov. 1675. He marched again on an expedition against Hassanemesit, (Grafton,) which
had but little result.

He was not one of the six captains appointed for the army under Winslow, which assem-
bled at Dedham, Dec. 9, 1675, and was not in the attack on the Narragansett fort, Dec. 19,
1675, which bi-oke the Indian power ; but April 27th, 1678, he was out as Captain of a com-
pany of horse, commander in chief of three of horse, and three of foot, to range toward
Hassanemesit. His troops returned and were discharged " by reason of an epidemical cold,
at that time prevailing through the country," and because of the rain which prevented their
following the enemy, May 10th ; but May 30th, 1676, they were called together again, and
were out as far as Hadley, in which Henchman killed and took about eighty-four of the
enemy without the loss of any of his own 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, tbat 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 wielded the sword as well as the birches, — for
he commanded the famous Artillery Company, and served in King Philip's "War in 1675.
The 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.

by sd Inhabitants, That the Selectmen shall agree wth mr Ezekiel Lewis for his Salary as
an assistant to his Grandfather mr Ezekiel Cheever in the Latine School, not Exceeding
forty pounds p year." Hassam on Cheever, p. 12.

At a Town meeting May 12, 1701, " Whereas Mr. Ezekiel Lewis Assistant to Mr.
Cheever in the Government of the Latin free School, hath represented unto the Town that
the sum of forty pounds per annum is not sufficient for his comfortable subsistence. The
Town by their Vote have granted that hence forward he be Allowed Forty five per annum,

kiell Chever in the Government of the Lattin Schooll, and to allow him a Sallery not
exceeding forty-five pounds p annum, untill farther Order from the Inhabitants at some

Williams to be a fitt person to be joyned wth mr Chever in Governmt of the Lattin School,

tant to mr Chever in the Governmt of ye Lattin School Voted that the Same be referred to

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 distinguished for his classi-
cal attainments. He studied 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
Thomas 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 Harvard College. He was
greatly distinguished for his benevolence. He continued to perform the duties of his pro-
fessorship until within a few days of his death, which occurred January 16, 1765.

Sprague's Annals of the American Pulpit, i. 275.

t In 1732 Jeremiah Gridley edited a newspaper 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 quotations ; the style is not bad nor
uninteresting. There is a file in the Libraiy of the American Antiquarian Society, Wor-
cester, Mass. He was afterwards Attorney General, and as such opposed to Otis in the
question of the Search Warrants. See Knapp's Biog. Sketches, p. 199.

§ These dates are right, though they differ from the Eliot Biography. They are taken
from Wendell's Valedictory of 1729, of which we have the manuscript.

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, 178S-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 variety 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 territory, (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, he 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 John Leach 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 OrRtion, 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.
The address is a statement of the objections to standing armies. It is filled with classical

allusions in its opening. When the invitation to deliver it was given to him, his father
advised him not to accept it, because his life might be jeopardized by doing it. " Is that the
case ? " was his reply, " then my mind is decided — my resolution is fixed — I will attempt it
at eveiy hazard."

In the Library of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and also of Harvard College, are
copies of an oration by him, " in Punere Henrici Flyntii Arm." 8vo, Boston, 1760.

♦William Bentley, son of Joshua Bentley, a ship carpenter, born in Boston, June 22,

Salem. A full account of him is given in the Annals of the American Pulpit, by Wm. B.
Sprague, D.D., Vol. viii, pp. 154-157, where it is stated, we fear erroneously, that he was
educated at the Latin School. See Buckingham's Reminiscences, ii. 341.

* 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 :

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 following
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 The old Catalogue gives Nov. 8 as the date of the transfer of Mr. Hunt to the South
Grammar School; but in his manuscript Catalogue, he himself says he was appointed
Master of the South Grammar School in June, 1776. ' 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, therefore, that the School was not in session some part of
the time between June, 1776, and Nov. 8, 1776.

% 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 given in the Catalogue of 1847.

The address made on that occasion by the person acting for the Selectmen contains these
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 great age and infirmities have obliged 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, perhaps 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 surrendered 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 omce.

*E. Langdon, son of Dea. Josiah Langdon, of N. North ch. Boston, and Eliz. (Sexton) his
wife. He " was for many years adjunct master of the North Latin Grammar School,- when
Mr. Wiswall, the principal, was laboring under the infirmities of age. He was a very 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.

f In the same article referred to in the note above, p. 230, it is stated that at the death of
"Wiswall 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 Lovell 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.

The Committee charged with compiling this catalogue is satisfied
that many of the following persons were pupils in the School, entering
it about tbe time named; but withoiit further information cannot say
this certainly of any one of them. On full investigation, undoubtedly,
many names could be added to the list, and many transferred from it
to the list above of those who were certainly scholars.

3 See Whitman's Hist. A. and H. Art. Co. 2d edit. p. 249.

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.

o>*:c

This chapter, as stated in the edition of 1847, was originally made
up from the manuscript Catalogue of Master Lovell, written out by-
Master James Lovell, which was very imperfect, giving in most in-
stances only the surnames of the hoys. Many names were supplied
in that Catalogue, (as is stated in its preface,) from the memory of
gentlemen then living, who had been pupils of the School. In pre-
paring the present edition, the Committee has consulted such gen-
ealogical publications 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 hoped; 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 the Loyalists of the American
Revolution have furnished a few more names, some of which seem
probable, and one or two certain pupils.

The Records of Births in the Town of Boston, between the years
1T20 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 hope that, in
some instances, there may be relatives still living, who, from their
knowledge or family papers, can give us authentic information, that
such boys either could not have gone to the School, or undoubtedly
did go. It will be as valuable to the Committee to know certainly
that a boy did not go to the School, so that his name can be stricken
out, 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 pupil of the
School.

It was impossible for the Committee to make an exhaustive exam-
nation of the list of deaths ; so that it is possible, in cases where
more than one name has been given to supply a vacancy, that one
of the boys may have died in infancy, and so could not have entered

(48)

PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 49

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 regard to those left.

The rule adopted by the Committee 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 (? 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 appears
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 probability 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

PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL

supply it, so that in the next edition of the Catalogue some of
the names now marked probable may be made certain. Each year
decreases the opportunity for making these corrections, and whatever
is not done now, will probably never be accomplished.

The names of these boys are not arranged, as in the Harvard Cata-
logue, according to the social position of their parents, but according
to the order in which they presented themselves at Lovell's house for
examination. This we learn from a letter written by Hon. Harrison
Gray Otis (see page viii, Preface), as well as from the position in
which the name of the son of Sir William Pepperrell stands in the
Class of 1737.

records of First Church baptisms to have been the younger. See also Class of 1736.

■ J., b. 11 July, 1725; N., b. 16 Oct. 1727. Can one of these, however, be James, Capt.
of the Dartmouth, which brought the tea 28 Nov. 1773 ? See Sabine.

(The year is probably intended to be the same, and the difference owing to the copy of one
set of records being made according to Old Style, and the other having been changed to
correspond to New Style.) Or Benjamin, b. 9 Feb. 1727.

4 Sabine, ii. 140. Said to have planted the Paddock Elms, but a writer in the Boston
Transcript of 11 Feb. 1878, says they were planted by Gilbert Deblois, father of our boys
of 1763-6-8, who lived at the head of Bromfield's lane ; and Mr. Paddock's name was
affixed to them on the strength of a newspaper notice signed by him, offering a reward for
the discovery of the author of a mutilation of one.

8 Perkins's Life of Copley, p. 30. Bridgman's Pilgrims of Boston, etc., p. 68, where
his 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
library, 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
was 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.

? b. 1729 ; see Sabine, i. 360.

6 The Welles of 1734, to which the name Arnold has been attached, should be a blank
if this is correct, — and it is veiy 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.

I 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.

io 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.

s Son of Sir William, under whose name Allen mentions him; see also Curwen. — We
regard the position of this name as one proof that the arrangement is not by family rank.

4 Is he the John on Barrell's list ? This document, Avhich 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 Walter Barrell, one of the refugees ; communicated to the Massachusetts Historical
Society, Dec. 1880.

6 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 Peter Pelham, reprinted from Proceedings of

5 Can this name be an error for Haynes ?

6 Had a brother Dixi, whom we suppose ours of 1735.

7 b. 14 Aug. 1728 ; but perhaps his brother Peter, b. 25 Dec. 1726 ; unless he is the Gibbins
of 1733, who is plainly a brother of John of 1729.

8 If this is the same Samuel that we have assumed for ours of 1724, (an older brother of
Robert, whom we take for ours of 1740), all the Calefs of 1734 and 35 become doubtful.

9 While retaining this name as given in the edition of 1847, we are inclined to think that
John Mico Wendell, b. 31 May, 1728, bapt. Church in Brattle Sq. 2 June, 1728 ; Harv. 1747,
A.M. *1773, the father of several of the Wendells whom we suppose our boys of later years,

i b. 17, bapt. Church in Brattle Sq. 23 July, 1727 ; a brother of Edward, whom we take

is probably the correct one) ; or John Scot (sic), b. 13 Oct. 1730.

io See Allen, Drake, and Class of 1741. Robert Auchmuty, Attorney General of the
Province, the only one of the name in Boston, had three sons, Samuel (ours of 1731), and
Robert and James Smith, of whom Robert is presumably the older, as his name is first
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.
Preston, after the Boston Massacre ; Sabine, i. 196. In the same case, our Paine of 1738
was joined to the prosecution. See Wells's Life of Samuel Adams, i. 330.

Paddock and Auchmuty elms came. In his will, he gives as a reason for leaving him a
smaller portion of his estate, that he is sure Mr. Smith will provide for him. (Sec note

of Nathaniel, of Braintree, b. Aug. 1671 ; son of Cornelius, of Boston ; son of Nathaniel,
of Boston ; son of Richard, of Braintree ; son of Richard, of Boston.

In the notes at the beginning of this chapter we referred to the probability that many boys
whose first names we could not find on the Records, were born out of town ; since these
pages have 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 tbe
Masters of the Latin School. The occurrence of this name, and that of several others
Avhich 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- Harvard College 1744, *1784. He is on
Barrell'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.

8 See Sabine, i. 255.

9 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 Richard, this may be his

of 1739) ; or one may be Edmund, b. 13 May, 1735. Probably this is the John of Harv.

io 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 South, 2 July, renders it possible that the
copyist has mistaken u for a, and that it should read Jun. The record of baptism gives the
name as Williams, which, being the family name of his mother, is very likely correct

is 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 collegiate course. He engaged in his father's profession 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 paintings was the picture
of his old master, John Lovel, drawn while the terrific impressions of the pedagogue were
yet vibrating upon his nerves. I found it so perfect a likeness, that I did not wonder when
my young friend told me that a sudden undesigned glance at the head often made him
shudder." — From a Letter of Judge Cranch, of Washington, in Dunlap's Historical Arts of
Design. Sec Perkins's Life of Copley, pp. 16, 17 ; also note on William above, and John,

their occupations, and of the protesters against the Solemn League and Covenant, com-
piled evidently by a non-sympathizer, on which we find the names of many Latin School
boys, with some who may be as well entitled to a place in the list as those we have inserted,
and might have been put in on conjecture. Some of these names have already been printed
in previous classes, and their occupations and a reference to this volume could now be
inserted only at great inconvenience ; it has therefore seemed best to give all here, and by
so doing avoid a future reference under the names which occur in subsequent classes. To
save repetition, the names in the first list which appear on the second, are marked with a {.

1 Genealogy of Greenleaf family, chart iv. ■ but perhaps James Gold, b. 1 Jan. 1734 ; or
Thomas, b. 21 May, 1737.

2 Father of Hon. John Phillips, first Mayor of Boston. Son of John and Maiy (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. •* 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 copy of Lovell's
Catalogue, referred to in 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 u. 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 copy is not always correct, for he frequently changes
the spelling, and occasionally omits duplicate names.

i» b. 8 May, 1738 ; or Samuel, bapt. Second Church, 7 Sept. 1735 ; or Daniel, bapt. Second
Church, 16 July, 1738.

11 b. 15 June, 1736 ; on the Towu Records the name is spelled Welsh ; or he may be the
W. of 1744.

0 This name is from Barrell's List.

1753, *1818 ? (see Allen's Biog. Diet.) ; or Josiah, bapt. Ch. in Br. Sq. 14 Oct. 1730.

9 This name, like that of Gridlcy above, is worn so as not to be easily deciphered on the
original manuscript. Some one has pasted on a new piece of paper, and written James
Taylor for the name beneath, but Dr. Homer gives it Grayton clearly ; and a careful exam-
ination ol the original, under the guidance given by his copy, leaves little doubt that the
name there written is Grayton, and that the conjectural Taylor is an error.

of three appear on our lists, and only those three are to be found on the Records of the
Town or of the baptisms at the Old South Church. This is probably the fourth son, but of
his name we are ignorant ; or Nathaniel of 1744 should be here, John of 1746 take his place,
and leave William as now ; or one of these three may have left and re-entered.

years old in Boston.

io b. 19 Oct. 1739 ; but of these two, one may perhaps be Samuel, b. 21 May, 1737 ; or
Christopher, b. 26 July, 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 here
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 ia Charlestown,
(i. 423) says in 1761. He may have been our boy. 18 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 Records, and we have altered our conjecture to
correspond with the changed spelling, though referring it to a much older boy.

series, vol. vii. He was a prominent Freemason. See Historical Sketch of the Massachu-

name, as well as that of Josiah, with the belief that they must have been our boys. A note

justifies us in removing the ?. They were brothers of our Stephen of 1755.

the year being undoubtedly the same, as in other instances previously explained ; brother
of William, the father of the mayor (see under Class of 1745), who may also belong here,
if the second William is the one belonging there ; but one of these may perhaps be
Ebenezer on Barrell's List.

5 E. S. Dixwell (Lat. Sch. 1816), his grandson, and one of our Head Masters, says: "I
have reason to think, from family tradition derived from his only surviving child in 1857,
that Samuel Hunt was the pupil of Master Lovell in the Latin School, and that he lived
with his uncle, Dr. "Wyott Doubt, for the purpose. This is an interesting fact, and the
name above is the nearest to the time he would enter the School, considering he graduated
in 1765. His father was probably also a pupil, entering in 1723."

4 Deacon of Church in Brattle Sq. " An ardent revolutionary 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, contrary 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 earnest efforts, Deacon Grant devoted himself to the cause of liberty." —

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

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

Clarke was born in Portsmouth, N.H., in 1755, and would have been but six years old at

Class graduated ; but with all this, it is not impossible that he is our boy. There was a
John Clarke, Harv. 1772, who died 1778, and as that Class is the one in which most of this

4 The only name on the Town Records of birth bearing any similarity to this, about this
time, is Gillam Tailer (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.

6 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 correct. 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.

9 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 Peerage, 43d ed. 1881.

3 If, as the Catalogue of 1847 says, he was A.B. of Harv., he must be Nathaniel of 1774,
and the Bay 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.

4 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 Lovell'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 1761 ; it is hard 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.

6 Sabine, i. 429. ' The Harvard Quinquennial and Sabine, ii. 137, spell Brinley.

8 b. 1756. Brother of Isaac, of our Class of 1766 ; cousin of Thomas A. of 1761. See
Memoir by his son, Capt. Henry Edward Coffin, B.N. ; also Drake, and Sabine, i. 326.
Sabine was wrong in his age, which was but eighty-two.

8 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
him to be the G. D. bapt. King's Chapel, 29 Sept. 1755, and consequently identical only in
name. He is probably a son of the Gilbert referred to in Perkins's Life of Copley, p. 51.
Died 12 Nov.

suppose the same as ours of 1770. U See Proc. Mass. Hist. Soc. 1791-1835, p. 382.

12 Phillips {sic) on Town Records, b. 12 Sept. 1755. ?John, Coll. of New Jersey 1774.

is Sabine, i. 237 ; or perhaps John Lindal, b. 18 Aug. 1754. This name, like that of
Deblois above, is erased by Mr. Greenough and Prof. H. W. Haynes from their Catalogues
in this Class, and inserted as Samuel in the Class of 1773. Both names being clearly on
Lovell's list here, we think it best to retain them in the absence of more definite information.

i See Drake's Biographical Dictionaiy ; also Allen.

2 There is a boy of this name on Hunt's Catalogue at the North Grammar School in
1767, and as it appears not to have been uncommon for the boys of this School to be trans-
ferred to that and vice versa, he may be the same as this.

8 b. 29 Aug. 1755 ; or possibly Benjamin, bapt. Old South, 3 Oct. 1756 ; or Robert, bapt.
Christ Church, 27 May, 1750.

4 There isveiy little doubt that this is the Peter, son of Benjamin Edes, the Revolution-
ary printer, b. 17 Dec. 1756, who was a political prisoner with James Lovell in 1775. A
copy of his Journal, while in prison, is in the hands of Henry H. Edes, of Boston. See
Class of 1760, and note under James Lovell, p. 19 ; also Drake's Biog. Diet.

6 Born in Rawson's Lane (now Bromfield Street), 1754. See Record of some of the
descendants of Thomas Clarke, by Samuel C. Clarke (of our Class of 1816) , pp. 21 and 22.

6 b. 25 Mar. 1753 ; but perhaps William, bapt. Old South, 16 Jan. 1758.

' b. 11 Apr. 1759.

8 bapt. King's Chapel, 2 Apr. 1756, son of Charles Ward A. ; or John, bapt. at same
church, 18 May, 1757. It is possible that he is the Charles Apthorp whose picture is de-
scribed in Perkins's Life of Copley, p. 31.

9 See Sprague's Annals, v. 383. On Hunt's Catalogue the name of Thomas Oliver
appears at the North Grammar School in 1767 to 1770, and for the reasons given under John
Williams above, it seems to us that this may be the same boy, and that he went to college
from that school instead of from ours.

io Died before 1793; Sabine, ii. 293.

11 Possibly identical with the same name on Barrell's List, though we think that more
probably his father (Sabine, ii. 74), and that this is the son, referred to there, who died in
1797. The name McNeal, Class of 1762, may be identical with this, or the note here given
may belong under that, but we have preferred to insert it here, as the Christian name here
given corresponds to the references.

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.

2 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.

4 See Drake's Biographical Dictionary ; also Allen,
s Sabine, ii. 140.

6 See Hist. Sketch of Mass. Lodge, p. 121 ; Collections Mass. Hist. Soc. iii. 191 ; Drake's
Biog. Diet., also Allen. He was at the North Grammar School from 1770 to 1772, and went
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.

10 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.

it 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 boys in this Class.

6 The last survivor of this Class, and, at the time of his death, the oldest living pupil of
the School. His name heads the signers of the Constitution of the Latin School Association.

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 narrated 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, but a house in School Street. The boys
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 School-house. The General's servant used
to spread ashes on the sidewalk every morning. This spoiled the coasting, and the First
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, 1844,
says : " The house next adjoining the wall of the Chapel Cemetery, east, was an ancient
stone building of grotesque architecture, which, when I went to school, was occupied by
the British or (I believe,) German Gen. Haldiman,* who commanded under Gage. The
same house was afterwards, and probably within your remembrance, owned and inhabited
by John Lowell, Esq." It was undoubtedly in this house that the interview occurred. See
5th Report Boston Record Commissioners, p. 7. 7 See Greenleaf Genealogy, p. 74, note.

8 He heard Dr. (Gen. Joseph) Warren's address, 4 Mar. 1775, in commemoration of
the Massacre. See Allen's Biographical Dictionaiy ; also Sprague's Annals, ii. 173.

* Mr. Otis is wrong in saying German. Frederick Haldiman, K.B. (1797) was Lieutenant-Colonel of the 60th
Regiment, or King's Royal Rifle Corps, formerly the 62d, or Royal American Regiment of Foot (of which regiment
Hon. Thomas Gage was in J76S Colonel-in -Chief ), from 1756 to 1772, and Colonel-Commandant in 1772; his name
disappearing from the list in 1791. Hit rank in the army was Major, and afterwards Lieutenant- General. See the
Chronicle of the Regiment by Nesbit Willoughby Lawrence, Captain 60th Royal Rifles ; also British Army List for
1781, p. 131.

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 procession on Gunpowder-plot
Day, yet became sufficiently 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 foi"tune, 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 part 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 watei-s. 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 bis 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 military. — Note from Hon. T. G. Amory. See
Drake's Biog. Diet. ; Burke's Peerage, 5th edit. (1838), p. 217; Heraldic Jour. Apr. 1867.
See Mem. of Gen. John Coffin b}r his son, p. 69. Sir Isaac was present at the Visitation of 1822.

8 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
Bm-ke. 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
been of our Class of 1763. He married Harriet, only child of William 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 Lovell's Catalogue here, but
Dr. Homer has given him in the next Class, and substituted here the name of Hugh Mackay
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 says
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 Harvard 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 degree here is an error.
It has seemed best to us to retain James here, dropping the degree attached to his name,
and Hugh M. in the next Class, supposing that Lovell is correct in his arrangement, and
that our committee on the old Catalogue 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 Catalogue of 1847, and so written on Lovell's, is
given correctly 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 there
should be a transposition of that name with the name originally given here.

Thomas Wallcut 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. 160), 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 coi-responds 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 Erving, and
Thomas Temple Eenton, who will be found in the text under the Class of 1771, in which
year they entered.

Of this Class, which was in many respects the most Doted 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 Generals,
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. "Wallcut'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 1766 has furnished professional and mercantile men, viz : one judge of
Supreme Judicial Court, one judge of Municipal Court, one judge of Probate Court — Dawes ;
one judge of Inferior Court, one public notary — Cooper; one British admiral — Coffin; one
British general (Indies) — Ochterlony ; one British colonel — Gordon (H. M.*) ; two Amer-
ican colonels— Freeman and Bradford ; three baronets or knights of the Bath — Coffin,
Bernard and Ochterlony; one member 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 Greenleaf ; one commissary general of the State, one coroner
— Prince ; one officer in the civil list of Great Britain — Fcntori ; one antiquarian and scribe
to the State — Wallcut; one war agent — Eustis; thirteen merchants — Jones, Johonnot,
Robins, Wheelwright, Davis, Deblois, Bradford, McNeil, Eustis, Fletcher, Laughton,
Erving, and Prince; five masters of arts — Dawes, Erving, Freeman, Greenleaf,"*; 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 living. 2 See Sewall's Diary, i. xi.

* See Class of 1767 ; also supra. i This should be two ; Sir Isaac! Coffin was also a Member of Parliament.

tThis is an error, as Greenleaf died early, and only took the degree of A.B.

1 Peter Crequie, like Christopher Gore, appears to have left this School to become a pupil
of Master Hunt at the North Grammar School. In Master Hunt's manuscript Catalogue,
to which reference will be made in the following chapter, occurs this amusing memorandum :

"Boston, May 27th, 1771.

"I, Peter Crequi, engage that Chris. Gore shall punctually observe the rules of this
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 Bentley. — J. Prout."

" I, Jona. Snelling, engage for Will Prout. — Jona. Snelling."

Some similar memoranda will be given in the Appendix.

See note under Class of 1766 on Thomas Wallcut. Hugh McCoy (sic) Gordon, son of
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
years an officer of the 16th Regiment. He was promoted captain in that regiment in 1788,
major in the army in 1796, lieutenant-colonel in 1798, and obtained a majority in his regi-
ment in 1799. He was promoted to the rank of major-general in 1811, and was nominated
colonel of the York Chasseurs in 1814 ; in 1816 he was removed to the Sixteenth (appointed
colonel 8 Jan.) . In 1821 he was pi^omotcd to the rank of lieutenant-general. He died in

1 James (of 1767) had no brother, and his father's family seems to have been the only
one of that name living 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. 1755, graduated at Harvard 1775, and died at sea in 1790. See New England
Historical and Gencal. Register, 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.

2 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, " veiy
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 j'oung for this Class, we have found no name that
seems more likely to belong here. John Dixwell Blanchard, 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.

6 It is possible that this is Zephaniah, Yale 1778, LL.D. 1817. Chief Justice Conn, who
was born at Wai-eham, Mass., Feb. 1759. See Drake's and Allen's Biog. Dictionaries.

9 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.

io 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.

14 Feb. 1774, se 10. and remained through the school year 1774-75. In 1777 and 1778
the same name occurs on Hunt's Catalogue 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 may have

done, and left for the North Grammar School, returned to be under his old master, and
thcu left again to be fitted elsewhere for college. We arc inclined to think the boy of the
North Grammar School identical with the boy of 1777, and the Harvard graduate of 1785,
but somewhat doubtful whether he was this Robert ; but as the previous committee may
have had some reason for identifying him with the graduate, wc do not remove the degree
from his name.

did not complete the course. It is possible, though baldly probable, that this is the same.

4 bapt. King's Chapel, 2 Feb. 1762- son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth; undoubtedly a
younger brother of Nathaniel, Class of 1757, William, Class of 1758, Gen. John, Class of
1763, and Sir Isaac, Class of 1766.

B b. 29 Jan 1758 : son of William, Jr., brother of Sir Thomas Aston. See Sabine, i. 327.

4 hapt. Christ Church, 14 June, 1761, see Hunt Genealogy, p. 349; or he may be William,
(b. 23 Jan. 1756), a brother of Shrimpton, whom we suppose ours of 1759, who is on the
records of the First Church as baptized William Cook, 25 Oct. 1761, though from the long
and unusual interval 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 a^c for this Class ; or perhaps Thomas, b. 14, bapt. New North Church, 18 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 was 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 in that year an old, weather-beaten dwelling,
inhabited by 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 grandfather's
in 1804 and that boy were one and the same person, he then, in 1804, commanding the
same l-egiment 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 Sheaffe. 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 Dictionary.

2 Died Oct. 28. On Hunt's Catalogue (of which later) in 1776, aged 13.

s These names appear on Hunt's Catalogue in 1776. We suppose them to refer to the
same hoys, that they were 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-opened under Master Hunt. The same appears to have been the case with several
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 brother 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. 8 b. 5 Feb. 1760.

6 b. in Boston, 2 Apr. 1763 ; died at Leghorn. Son of Nathaniel, and half brother of
Nathaniel Walker Appleton, of our Class of 1762. See Genealogy of the Appleton Family,
by W. S. Appleton, p. 14. 1 bapt. King's Chapel, 3 Mar. 1755.

8 For many years City Superintendent of Burials. See Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,
by O. W. Holmes, p. 279. His middle name is probably Hill, for we suppose him son of
Samuel Hewes, Jr. (probably our boy of 1737), whose intentions of marriage with Elizabeth
Hill were recorded 7 Oct. 1753. We find no record of the marriage nor of his birth, but it
must have been in 1761, as when he died, 9 Apr. 1845, he was 84 years old.

9 Probably son of Jonathan and grandson of the Governor ; b. in Halifax 22 July, 1763,
died at Boulogne, 17 Nov. 1841. See N. Eng. Hist. Gen. Reg. vol. xxvii. July, 1873, p. 242.

Jo b. 20, bapt. First Church, 23 Jan. 1763 : a brother of Joseph, who is perhaps ours of
1763. See Allen's Biographical Dictionaiy.

Ji He appears on Hunt's Catalogue in 1776, aged 10; see note on the same name in the
Class of 1772 ; also note 3, above. 12 Probably the John b. 4 Mar. 1760.

13 bapt. King's Chapel, 14 Apr. 1763 ; brother of Gilbert of 1763, and Lewis of 1768.

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 Erving 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 Harvard 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.

6 This may be the William who appears on Hunt's Catalogue in 1776 ; but he was at the
North Grammar School from 1771-1776, and in that case must have merely entered here,
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, Harv.
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.

1 bapt. Old South, 28 Mar. 1762; or perhaps identical with Robert (Harv. 1785), whose
name is found on Hunt's Catalogue in the Class of 1777, and about whom we have given a
note under that name in the Class of 1768, q. v.

8 b. 14, bapt. New North, 29 Apr. 1764 ; or James, bapt. Ch. in Brattle Sq. 6 Mar. 1763.

9 On Hunt's Catalogue in 1776. He probably re-entered. See " Brief Account of the
Quincy Family," by W. H. Whitmore. The Harvard Quinquennial omits the e.

13 On Hunt's Catalogue in 1776, aged 12. Probably re-entered. See note 3, p. 96.

" See note on the same name under Class of 1773.

8 b. 1764 : son of Gilbert. His baptism is not recorded on King's Chapel Records, where
we find those of his brothers and sisters. A Stephen, bapt. King's Chapel, 15 July, 1757,
also son of Gilbert, died in June, 1758, is the only one of the name we find there.

9 b. 13 Feb. 1764. He had a brother Daniel, who is probabry our boy of 1762. But
perhaps this is Francis, bapt. Christ Church, 3 Apr. 1763.

10 Probably a son of Master James, and if so, died very early, as Master James had a
son of the same name, b. 1788. He appears on Hunt's Catalogue in 1776, and so was most
likely in the School when it closed, returning at the re-opening, like Eustis, of 1770, and
Greenleaf, above.

12 Is on Hunt's Catalogue in 1776, aged 11. Probably in the School when it closed in

mentioned above and below. See Loring's Hundred Boston Orators, p. 229.

1 See note on Thomas Greenleaf, above; also note on John Dashwood, in the Class of
1771, with whom we suppose him identical. In this case we have preserved the order
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.

2 On Hunt's Catalogue in 1778. See notes 3, p. 96, and 5, p. 98.

8 See Note on Martin Gay, Class of 1768, who perhaps belongs here, and the place given
him in that Class should then be taken by Samuel, as suggested there. See Sabine, i. 466.

4 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
article on his father, ii. 392.

6 On Hunt's Catalogue in 1776, aged 10. See notes 3, p. 96, and 5, p. 98.

6 John McLean who endowed the Massachusetts General Hospital, and whose name is
borne by the Asylum for the Insane at Somerville. See Sabine, i. 163 ; also Bowditch's
History of the Massachusetts General Hospital.

7 bapt. First Church, 18 Sept. 1763 : a brother of Shrimpton, who is perhaps our boy of
1759 ; or Thomas, referred to in the note on William Hunt, under the Class of 1770.

8 b., and bapt. Christ Church, 26 Aug. 1764 : a brother of William, whom we have taken
as one of the possibilities in 1770. (See Hunt Genealogy, p. 350.) But one of these boys
may be another brother, Pattid (sic), bapt. as above, 25 May, 1766.

West, 1765, sent by his Father, (6ee Class of 1744,) to Boston to be educated. At the break-
ing out of the Revolution he returned to his Father in the West Indies, and was sent, at the
age of 11, to England, where he passed six years under the instruction of Dr. Parr. He
was ordained at N. Y. in 1787 by Bishop Provoost, and became Rector of Trinity Church,
Boston, in 1805. He died 29 July, 1830, at Harrowgate, England. See Allen's Biographical
Dictionary ; Duyckinck's Cycl. Amer. Lit. i. p. 686 ; and Sprague's Annals, vol. v. p. 363.

2 Perhaps John M. of the Class of 1771. His name is omitted on both of Joshua Green's
lists. He is given on Hunt's Catalogue in 1776, aged 12 years and 6 months.

a The same name appears on Hunt's Catalogue in 1780, with no age attached. He prob-
ably left, re-entered, and went from here to college.

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.

s 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 presume 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.

4 This name is not on Green's list : he may have remained but a short time, or have been
transferred to a higher Class.

6 See Allen'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.
Greenough'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
circumstances, 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.

1 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.

3 Appears on Hunt's Catalogue in 1776, aged 12.

4 Appears on Hunt's Catalogue in 1776. The Christian names of Homans, Brackett and
Bass are from J. Green's list ; in reference to all these, see notes 3, p. 96, and 5, p. 98.

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 in 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. 98, and 5, 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 years between this 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 H. 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.

10 Both these names are erased on J. Green's first list, but are inserted because the
surnames, though not the Christian names, are on Lovell's.

11 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 North Grammar School from
1769-73, before coming here. See notes 3, p. 96, and 5 p. 98.

1777, Green in 1778, and Hubbard (perhaps) in 17S0.

CHAPTER III
1774-1781.

c£*<c

Mr. 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 with
1776, while, Mr. Lovell's ended with 1773. Accordingly, we 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
was issued, and omitting John Cooper, Thomas Crafts, and Henry
Roby, who, though members of this Class, did not probably enter it
until after this year, as we find them on Mr. Hunt's Catalogue of
the North Grammar School up to the time when that ceased to be.

Thomas Curtis, who is given in 1776, and is mentioned in note 1, p. 100, may
perhaps belong in this Class.

when it re-opened. 2 On Hunt's Catalogue in 1776, aged 9. See note 1, above.

s This name appears on J. Green's second list as in the Class of 1773 in 1775, but does
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 1774-5,
is April 4, which is perhaps the date of his leaving, and the age VA. He is on Hunt's Cata-
logue in 1776, aged 9. After 1777 he disappears.

aged 53 ; see Biographical Sketches in By-Laws of St. Andrew's Royal Arch Chapter, 1866,

From April 19th, 1775, when the School was closed by Mr. Lovell,
as described in the note of Hon. Harrison Gray Otis, which we give
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 1776, as
given in the next chapter, no doubt contains the names of many
boys who entered in 1774 and 1775 before April, and, like many pre-
viously noticed, were in School when it closed, and returned when
it was re-opened.

CHAPTER IV.

1776-1805.

oXKc

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 lai-gely 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 :—

Cambridge, June 14, 1881.
Dear Sib: — In 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

This chapter is made up from Master Hunt's Catalogue of the South Grammar School,
now for the first time printed.

of its contents, 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 which we had so much desired to discover at the time
we made the first attempt to form a Catalogue of the 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 personal. *******

Truly yours,
Rev. Heney F. Jenks. E. S. DIXWELL.

Here was the missing 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 unfrequently
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 chapter, 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 who only remained a part of the time. He has
arranged the boys apparently in classes, but the order of names is
not alphabetical, and as there seemed no special reason for re-
taining his order, in view of the greater convenience of the alpha-
betical arrangement, the Committee has had 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 Lovell's Catalogue there has been only probability as
a guide, they have been retained. The residences of some are also
given, and these too, as a matter of historical interest, have been
preserved.

With some of the names in the Class of 1776 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 from that School, or having been pupils
of the latter at the closing of this, returned after it was re-opened.
It seems, therefore, reasonable to infer that with the others, the
absence of the age is an indication that they were old pupils who
came back as soon as they could after the School was re-opened;
and that some whose names are found neither on Hunt's list there,

PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. 107

nor Lovell's here, may have been pupils 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
perhaps 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 completed it in less time.

In addition to the boys mentioned on p. 35, as transferred to the South
Grammar School with Master Hunt, we 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 1760 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 Boyer, 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; Robert 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 manuscript 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 6th 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 Revolutionary struggle, he was capable of understanding something
of the stirring 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 horseback about ten
o'clock in the evening by his father, to Itoxbury and Watertown, to convey to Gen. Warren
and other patriots intelligence of the expected expedition. His father had learned at that
early hour the purpose for which the troops were mustering, through a domestic in his
family who was intimate with one of the nurses employed in the Soldiers' Hospital, which
was near his residence in Portland Street. The scenes amid which his early years were
passed, were not without their influence. The spirit and principles of this heroic age of
our national existence were stamped upon the character of Judge Hall, and were the con-

in a Class of which the late Samuel Dexter, Judge Davis and Judge Paine, of Vermont,
were members. See Loring's Hundred Boston Orators, p. 307 ; also Whitman's Histoiy

U 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 Dictionary ; 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 here. 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
Sketch of Massachusetts Lodge (q. v.), p. 124- 12 Entered 1 Jan. 1777, aged 15.

The following boys appear on Mr. Hunt's Catalogue of this Class, in addition
to tbose 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 text. The year given against the name is that
of the Class in which we suppose it to belong: —

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 1S47 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.

* Isaac Boyle

Harv. 1313, A.M., S.T.D. Trin. 1838,
and Columb. N.Y. 1838. *1850

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

*1807

*Samuel A. Shed
*George Templeman

Son of John.

*George Whipple

He is given on the old Catalogue as A.M.,
but his name is not found in the Catalogues
of Harvard, Yale, New Jersey, Columbia,
Brown, Bowdoin, or Dartmouth Colleges, so
that it is probably incorrect. His name may
have been George A. M. Whipple.

logue of 1847:—

1776-83 *John Murray Forbes

Harv. 1787, A.M. *1831

1777-84 *Charles Miller

Probably a mistake for James Miller,
given by Mr. Hunt in 1782.

*Bossenger Foster

Harv. 1787, A.M. *1816

His nephew, S. F. Haven, says the name
is Bassenger. This and the preceding name
appear to have been inserted on the author-
ity of Dr. Gray, of our Class of 1781.

other times it is spelled Switcher. See "Whitman's Hist. A. and H. A. Co. 2d edit. p. 357.

Editor of "The Portfolio," author of
" The Lay Preacher." He was born in Bos-

ton, 10 August, 1768, but there appears no
reason for retaining his name, which must
have been inserted through some such error
as is referred to on p. 103. See Proc. Mass.
Hist. Soc. xvii. p. 302 ; also an account of
him in a pamphlet privately printed by
William W. Clapp, 1880; also Duyckinck's
Cycl. of Amer. Lit. i. 583.

Both these names are on the authority of
Dr. Thomas Gray, of our Class of 1781.

1 b. 28 Mar. 1767. His death was caused by an accident one Saturday afternoon, on or
near the Common, at a place called the Laboratory, where squibs were sold to the boys.
He procured some and put them in his pocket, where they exploded and burned him so
badly, that he died after several weeks of intense suffering.

2 See note on same name in the Class of 1780.

8 Son of the Clerk of the United States Senate, of the same name, of our Class of 1748.
See article on his father in Allen's Biographical Dictionary.

1 bapt. King's Chapel, 25 July, 1770 ; died 31 May. The name is spelled Clemens in the
King's Chapel Register, 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 Rev. Simeon, and brother 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
Record of some of the descendants of Thomas Clarke of Plymouth, by Samuel C. Clarke.

4 The middle name S. appears in 1782. There are two John Osborns given this year, so
that though one name may be a repetition of the other, it is hardly possible that this is
identical with the John of 1779.

6 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.

Williams in the Class before. He
may however be the Jonathan of 1778,
who appears as John in 1779 and 1780,

now re-appearing as Jonathan. Mr.
Hunt seems to have a great deal of
trouble with the names John and
Jonathan, and to have used them

8 Disappears after this year, but we suppose him to have re-entered in 1784. He was a

9 bapt. King's Chapel, 30 Sept. 1774. See Allen's Biographical Dictionary. " Died at
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 Kingsbury.
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 family in Massachusetts. His great grand-
father, Nathaniel Jarvis, bora in 1668, emigrated from Wales to Boston, and married
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. Jarvis of Mid-
dletown, and Dr. George O. Jarvis, a distinguished physician of Portland, in that State.
Among the descendants of Nathaniel is Leonard Jarvis, Esq., a merchant of Baltimore,
well known in that city for his wealth and liberality. The other son, Leonard, born in
Boston in 1715, married Sarah Church, grand-daughter of Col. Church, distinguished in
the Indian wars, especially for the victory over King Philip, at Mount Hope."

A manuscript note in Rev. E. E. Hale's
interleaved Catalogue, claims Dr. McKean
as a member of this Class, on the authority
of Alden's Biography. This biography we
cannot find. Mr. Hunt's Catalogue does not
give his name; the memoir of him by Dr.
Levi Hedge, (Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll'ns, second
series, vol. viii, p. 157,) and the notice of him
in Sprague's Annals, viii, 414, mention that

he was a pupil " at a public school in Bos-
tori," previous to 1787, but do not specify
this, and there seems no authority for put-
ting him here. A note from Mrs. Charles
Folsom (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.

1791-1835, p. 273, note.

Laws of St. Andrew's Royal Arch Chapter, p. 109.

2 Under the year 1785, the date 20 Feb. 1786, appears against his name, at which time he
probably left. 8 See Historical Sketch of Massachusetts Lodge.

4 The middle name is given in the Catalogue of 1847. In 1789 hi9 residence is given
as New Boston. See Whitman's History of Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company,
2d edit. p. 383 ; Drake's Biog. Diet. ; also Proc. Mass. Hist. Soc. 1791-1835, p. 277, note.

6 This may be identical with Jonathan Williams, 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 17S0 and 1781.

6 Recorded as John, admitted 2 May, 1785, but in 1785 given as Jonathan, another in-
stance, as we suppose, like that 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 remembers 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, being 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.

Charles, Hemy, 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. 6 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, Johonnet ; we follow the usual spelling, and
that of the Harvard Quinquennial. In 1789 his residence is given as Marlborough Street.

8 Perhaps another Joseph, who received the same degree at Yale in 1820, and died in 1839.

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,

in that year his residence is given as Green's Lane.

3 See Drake's Biographical Dictionaiy ; also Dalcho's History of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in South Carolina, p. 211.

4 He is given on the Catalogue of 1847 as M.D. but we have been unable to find his name
on the Triennial Catalogues of the New England Colleges, and cannot identify him.

Southack Court. Died 9 June. See By-Laws St. Andrew's Royal Arch Chapter, p. 160.

name is written in Mr. Dixwell's copy in this and one or two subsequent years. He was
undoubtedly John Hampden Palmer b. 22 Feb. 1780, 4th child of Master Hunt's sister

ing 22 June, 1787, Sydney Algernon
Howard, which name is repeated in
1787-8-9, when he appears to have left
school. We suppose him identical with
the Algernon Sydney Howard of 1784;
that he left and re-entered. He was
a brother of John Clarke Howard of
1780, and son of Rev. Simeon, and the'
former is the correct collocation of his

An effort was made in 1789 to reduce the length of the course. In 1790 it was called a
course of six years.

April 1, 1790. Report on Latin School : " found the same in very good order." Still six
classes, — impossible as yet to reduce to four : gradually to be done. Want of punctuality —
perhaps necessary to change the hour. John Scollat.

May 11, 1790. The Committee by vote of the Town: " are further empowered to

pull down the Dwelling House in School Street, now occupied by Master Hunt, and erect
on the lot where the same now stands a School House with two stories, sufficient to
accommodate the children of the centre of town with a reading and writing school, the
materials of the said house to be applied thereto as far as they may be suitable to that
purpose.

" Further, that Faneuil Hall be occupied, until this is built, by the children now in Mr.
Caller's Centre Reading School."

Latin School, July 11, 1790. Annual list, 80 ; daily list, 65 ; present, 56. Six in highest
class ; but one to enter College this year, and seven have entered since visitation.

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 presex-ved, 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.

6 The middle name is first given in 1793. Brother of John Rose Greene of our Class of

1791. An effort was made at this time to reduce the course gradually to four years.

Committee reports that Latin boys (22) be taught writing in their own school.

Hunt's return, April, 1791, gives the names of 62 boys.

Nov. 8. In conference of Masters and Committee, Mr. Hunt said that a private school
was in his opinion quite incompatible with a public school. [Many of the masters kept
private schools at the hours when they were not occupied in the public schools.]

After the Class of 1791, on Mr. Hunt's Catalogue, as preserved 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 July, (of that year) 1793, and it seems to us best to give it for the suggestions it contains,
as it shows the difficulty the Committee has labored under in arranging the boys according
to the years of entering, and helps somewhat to locate them in their classes.

3 Son of Samuel and brother of George and Francis of our Class of 1800.

4 Died 3 Apr. The middle name is not given by Mr. Hunt, but we find it in the Cata-
logue of 1847. Son of Nathaniel W. of our Class of 1762. See Rough Sketch of Appleton

5 Son of a widow who kept a shop in Union Street. Thomas Farrington, teste.

6 Son of Master Hunt. Brother of John of our Class of 1789, and William G. of the Class
of 1802. Died 30 Jan.

1 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. Matignon 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 17S6 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 1S47, seem3 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.

l There was a Samuel N. graduated at Columbia in 1796, probably not this one, for Dr.
Watson says he was in the hardware store of Mr. Winslow, father of our Andrew G. of

4 These dates are probably those of admission.

6 We get the middle name from the Catalogue of 1847. Mr. Hunt does not give it.
On leaving in 1799, he had the Salutatory and Valedictory Orations in Latin. See Drake's
and Allen's Biographical Dictionaries ; also Sprague's Annals, viii. p. 435.

in the Harvard Quinquennial. He was a brother of Isaac, whose name appears under the

we find in Chapman's Histoiy of Graduates of Dartmouth, that he was born in Boston.

6 We take the middle name from the Harvard Quinquennial.

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 until 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. We9t, 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.

1 In the Catalogue of 1847 these names are spelled Castle, and Thomas is given instead of
James, while the other name is blank.

2 The middle name is from the Harvard Quinquennial, which also spells the last with an e.

nial, and from Mr. Dexter's signature to the roll of the Latin School Association.

alogy, p. 21.

6 On Bev. Dr. E. E. Hale's interleaved copy of the Catalogue of 1847, he has written : —
"Dr. F. Parkman gave me the names of English, Lovell, Parkman, Parmenter, Win-
throp and Sears ; they left 1803, having staid one year more than the regular time. He
adds that he himself entered in 1799. He was astonished to remember the audacity of their
impudence to Mr. Hunt. Parkman entered College in Aug., but remained at school till Feb.
1804, when he joined his Class. He has no recollection of any 'Examination7 or School
Commencement of any kind."

1 Perhaps Nathaniel Henry Emmons who died in Boston in 1878, aged 82. He was a
Boston boy, but his family have no knowledge of his ever having 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 merely 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 1800 ;
at my entrance I was addressed by F. Parkman and my 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 others, except Doctor Towns-
end and his brother ; there were say, five others ; we were under the care of Mr. Wells, I
believe afterwards a bookseller. I left for Quincy the next year, and thence 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 1803.

Through his maternal grandfather Ezekiel Price, mentioned in the letter above, Ezekiel
Price Greenleaf is a direct lineal descendant of Master Ezekiel Cheever.

8 Undoubtedly son of Rev. Samuel and bro. of Samuel of our Class of 1806, and perhaps
father of our Benjamin Morgan of 1842 ; but perhaps a son of our Morgan of 1775.

* Son of Dr. David and brother of Solomon D. of our Class of 1803. See Memorials of
Massachusetts Cincinnati by F. S. Drake, p. 63. The S stands for no middle name.

1 The middle name is furnished by his brother, Rev. John L. Watson, of our Class of

1805. He was second son and seventh child of Marston and Lucy (Lee) Watson, born

in Marblehead, 14 July, 1788. Clerk in counting room of Daniel Sargent ; died 9 Aug.

Buried in the family tomb on the Common.

2 According to the letter of Greenleaf given in the Dote 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.

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.

i 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.

8 Rev. Dr. Watson says he was Captain of a Latin School Military Company.

4 Died 16 Aug. aged 82 years.

6 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 Mi*. Andrews.

8 Brother of Robert C. of our Class of 1812. Lived in New York City and died there.

» Rev. Dr. Watson thinks he has an indistinct recollection of a Samuel Spear at the
School about this time.

io 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.

H 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.

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
here 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 Biglow to classes which had entered under
Mr. Hunt; or they may have entered during Mr. Thacher's tem-
porary mastership of the School in 1805, between Mr. 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 chapter), of the boys in the School when Mr.
Biglow took charge of it, on which some of the names appear, with
Mr. Thacher mentioned as their previous instructor.

1810-11, says he never was a scholar
here, but fitted for College at Andover.

1800-1801. Town taxes are $61,489, of which Schools #9,099 for salaries: $1,011 for
Repairs, &c.

Seven masters had a salary of $666.66 and an allowance of $200 each.
Seven ushers had a salary of $333.33 and an allowance of $100 each.

4 Rev. J. L. Watson, D.D., of our 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 was 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.' "

6 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.

7 Brother 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.

1 Rev. Dr. Watson says he had a brother Thomas, who was also at our School. We do
not find him on the list beginning on p. 142, nor on any other in our possession.

2 Son of a broker. Lived in Middlecot Street. J. L. W. teste.

8 Brother of Henry and Richard C. of our Classes of 1799 and 1807.

4 See Burial Register of King's Chapel ; also, pamphlet on the Descendants of William
Curtis, by Samuel C Clarke, p. 23.

6 Son of Thomas, brother of Charles P. of our Class of 1803, and of James F. above.
See the pamphlet mentioned in the preceding note, p. 22.

6 This name is inserted on the authority of Rev. J. L. Watson, D.D. below, who writes
May 16th, 1882 : " I can say positively he was at the B. Latin School in some of the years

that I was there 1 left him at the School in 1809, and in 1811 he entered our Class,

1815, H. C, . . and at the end of the Sophomore year, or perhaps a little before that, he
left College." i Inserted on Rev. E. E. Hale's interleaved Catalogue.

8 Son of Caleb, and brother of Charles G. of our Class of 1804.

9 Dr. Watson says there was a boy in the School by the name of Morse or Morss, whose
Christian name he never knew, but whom Master Biglow used to call up in this wise, " O
mors, mors, pallida mors," and the name stuck to him, so that the boys called him "Pallidy
Morse," many of them probably hardly knowing that he had any other name.

1° Brother of Francis and George, of our Class of 1800.

li Son of Dr. Rand. Lived in Cambridge Street, north of Hanover.

12 Son of Dr. Spooner, who lived in Bulfinch Street, in the rear of the present (1882)
Revere House. — J. L. W. See Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll. 3d series, vol. i. p. 265.

18 The Christian name, omitted in the Catalogue of 1847, is inserted here on the authority
of Dr. Watson.

14 The Christian name is inserted on Dr. Hale's interleaved Catalogue, and confirmed by
a letter from Ebenezer Thayer, of our Class of 1806.

Is A letter on file from William Hayden, of our Class of 1807, says the Christian name
was Supply, the same as another S. C. Thwing 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 Latin
School," but we have no other authority for inserting this name, 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 Paucon's evening school in Newbuiy 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. Rev. Dr. Watson having just revised this list, writes, that of most of these
he feels reasonably sure, and of those marked f quite certain.

5 There is probably veiy 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 180G,
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 going
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 Biglow, 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. When I was six years old I witnessed

the funeral procession of George Washington ; and at the age of seven 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. Hayden's letter, referred to above.
8 When at School, lived in a house opposite Little, Brown and Co.'s present (1882) pub-
lishing house. < This name is inserted to correspond with the list in note to p. 142.

5 Perhaps a younger brother of Andrew G. of our Class of 1805. — J. L. W.

6 The Catalogue of 1847 says, afterwards John Temple James Bowdoin, which is an error.
His Memoir, (Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll. 3d series, 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 accordance with the
Will of the founder of Bowdoin College, dropped the name of Winthrop, adding in its
place that of James Bowdoin. See Whitman's Hist. A. and H. Art. Co. 2d edit. p. 407.

i The middle name we obtain from Rev. Dr. Watson, who says he went to College, but
never graduated, and died soon after 1822. He had three brothers — Henry, of 1799;
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 tardy,' which created 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, who remembers a John Kuhn at the School, a cousin
of George H. above, and son of John Kuhn, a tailor, to whose business he succeeded.

8 Dr. Watson says he was an Episcopal clergyman.

6 Author of a History of Boston.

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 Henry, which is incorrect, if our identification is not wrong.

1(> 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.

i2 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.

i Twin brothers, sons of George. — J. L. W. 2 Perhaps the Samuel of our Class of 1804.

8 In a letter from Mr. Hayden of our Class of 1807, the first name is given Benjamin
instead of Arthur. * The Christian name is a suggestion of Dr. Watson's.

6 The Christian name, omitted in the Catalogue of 1847, was suggested by Ebenezer
Thayer, of our Class of 1806, and is inserted as given on information received from Hon.
E. T. Fogg, of South Scituate, his son.

6 See New England Historical and Genealogical Register, vol. xxiii. (Apr. 1869) , p. 109.

7 From Charleston, S. C— W. H. 8 Son of Eben. Larkin, the bookseller.
9 Entered Harvard College, Class of 1815, but did not graduate.

io Another son of R't Rev. Samuel.

n This name, omitted on the Catalogue of 1847, is inserted here on the authority of his
brother, John T. Prince, who says (1882) that though uncertain of the year of his entrance,
he remembers him to have been a pupil of Mr. Biglow. 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.

12 The first name, omitted in the Catalogue of 1847, is inserted on his own authority.

18 Son of Master Jonathan, b. 19 July, 1797, died in New York, 25 Oct. The middle
name is supplied by Mr. Thos. H. Perkins. 14 Brother of Jonathan G. above.

16 Dr. Watson says he was a nephew of Rev. Dr. Walter of Christ Church. He adds,
" Mr. Biglow used often to administer a dose of his • Dr. Busby ' to him, and at the same
time with a grim kind of jocoseness repeat for his benefit the following jingle : ' Walter,
Walter, if you don't alter, you'll come to the halter.' "

16 Brother of Samuel W. of 1805. M Dr. W. says he was a " North-ender."

2 The middle name, which was printed West in the Catalogue of 1847, is now changed
on the authority of John J. May, of our Committee, and of the Rev. Dr. George E. Ellis.
He was drowned at Zurich, Switzerland, 22 Aug. See Wordsworth's Elegiac Stanzas on
his death.

8 No Christian name was given in the Catalogue of 1847. That given here is probably
correct, but perhaps this may have been William Gardner, who graduated at Brown Uni-
versity in 1821.

4 Cousin of T. R. J. in the Class of 1813.

6 See Burial Register of King's Chapel.

6 See Whitman's History of Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co. second edition, p. 435.

7 See a letter in the Appendix. Author of " Aids to English Composition."

8 Perhaps the same who was afterwards George Leicester Snelling.

9 This name, on the Catalogue of 1847, was spelled Stevenson. Are we wrong in our
identification ?

io The Christian name was omitted in the Catalogue of 1847. He lived in High Street,
opposite Pearl, and was famous at school for giving dramatic entertainments. — J. L. W.
He was a midshipman on the Chesapeake, and taken prisoner by the Shannon.

U Perhaps a brother of the above. George Richards Minot Thayer, b. 6 Nov. 1800, died
6 Aug. 1841 ; or Frederick Nathaniel Thayer, b. 30 July, 1801, died 5 Aug. 1827.

I2 Is this Christian name, suggested by R. W. Emerson and other living pupils of the
School in 1880, a repetition of the same name in the Class of 1807 ; or may he be Thomas
Hunt Thompson, who graduated at the Harvard Medical School in 1826 ?

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 1876, 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.

8 This name was printed Woods in the Catalogue of 1847, but 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-

6 See Proceedings of Massachusetts Historical Society, 1881-3, p. 298 ; also Appendix.

" The regular course of studies, the years 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 Hanners, 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.

1 We take this name, which was not given on the Catalogue of 1847, from Mr. Stimp-
son's subscription to the Register of the Latin School Association. The middle name was
furnished by his daughter. Dr. Watson writes that he remembers him at the School.

2 See Collections of Massachusetts Historical Society, 4th series, vol. ii. pp. 241-245.

8 Inserted on Rev. Dr. Hale's interleaved Catalogue. He is a member of the Latin School
Association, and on the Register has subscribed himself as entering this year.
4 Son of Rev. William Jenks, D.D., of our Class of 1790.
6 Probably Charles Edward Leverett, Trin. 1830, A.M. Hanr. 1848 ; died 1868.

8 Not on the Catalogue of 1847, but inserted on Dr. Hale's Catalogue ; and in addenda to

9 Brother of Robert C. of our Class of 1812, Joseph H. of 1807, and William of 1804.
Inserted on authority of Robert C. Mackay.

CHAPTER VII.

1814-1828.

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 were Head Masters of the School. As the. term of each
was short, and there is no special 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 Chapter 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 IX.

1837-1884.

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.

APPENDIX.

While these pages have been passing through the press we have found in
the History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company the names of
the following Boston boys.

The book most generally associated with
the name of Cheever is " The Accidence."
This he wrote, it is supposed, while he was in
New Haven. A fac-simile of the title-page of
the eighteenth edition is shown herewith.

The Rev. William Bentley, 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 before 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
Marblehead, are all worthy of the age of Eras-
mus, and of the days of Ascham."

" Before Mr. Chever's Accidence obtained, Mr. John Brinsley's method had
obtained, and this was published in 1611, three years before Chever was
born. It is in question and answer, and was undoubtedly known to Chever,
who has availed himself of the expression, but has most ingeniously reduced
it to the form of his Accidence, 134 small 4to pages, to 79 small 12mo, with
the addition of an excellent Table of Irregular Verbs from the great work of
the clays of Roger Ascham."

century ; which has passed through, at least, twenty editions in this country ;
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 New 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
was 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 country. 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

Among the Hutchinson Papers * now in the Secretary's office, Boston, is
the following petition, endorsed, "Mr. Cheevers Petition for Continueing
the place of schoolmaster, 1687 or 1688."

"To his Excellency Sr. Edmund Andros Knight, Governour & Capt.

Rev. Dr. Cotton Mather's funeral ser-
mon on Cheever was first printed with the
accompanying title-page.

In 1828 the Rev. Ezekiel Cheever Whit-
man! published an Abridgment of the
Corderius Americanus. In the 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 f ac-simile of the ' ' Carmen Genethliacon," or Birth-
day Ode to the Princess Mary, from the Cheever manuscript in the Boston
Athenaeum, and some poems in Greek and Latin from the same manuscript.
Cotton Mather's sermon is preceded by "An Historical Introduction,"
which begins as follows :

t Ezekiel Cheever Whitman, son of Rev. Samuel and Grace [Cheever] Whitman, was
born in Ashby, Sept. 17, 1783. He had his name changed to Ezekiel Cheever in 1828, died
in Williamsburg, Maes., in April, 1862, and was buried in Goshen, Mass., May 1, 1862,
where his father had formerly been installed as pastor of the church there.

272 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

Duty to the Merit and Memory of my Departed Master, is now in its Opera-
tion. The Fifth Commandent well considered will demand such a Duty. When
Quirinus made a Marble Monument for his Master, there was this Effect of it,
Invisunt Locum Studiosi Juvenes frequenter , ut hoc Exemplo Edocti, quantum
Discipuli ipsi praeceptoribus suis debeant, perpetuo meminisse velint. Scholars
that saw it, Learnt from the Sight what Acknowledgments were due from
Scholars to their Masters. I wish my little feeble Essay for Mine, may in any
measure animate the Gratitude of any Scholars to their Well-deserving Tutors.

A due Care about a Funeral for the Dead, among the Jews 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 be prtended to. * *
* * * * -vve must not wonder at it then, if the Best of our Masters be thought
attended with their Imperfections. Whatever mine might have, they are burid.
And we generally concur in acknowledging, That New-England has never known
a better. I am sure, I have 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 Bom in London, many years before the Birth of New-England. It
was Jan. 25. 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 ^chooI^JlElatfter, at New-haven', where
he continued for Twelve Years.

From New-haven, he removed unto Ipswich, in December, 1650. where he
Laboured Eleven Years.

From Ipswich, heremoved to Charlsto-wn, in November, 1661. where he
Laboured Nine Years.

From Charlstown, he came over to Boston, Jan. 6, 1670. where his Labours were
continued for Eight & Thirty Years.

He Died, on Saturday morning, Aug. 21. 170S. 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 tho' 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 :

" School-masters that have Used the Office well, purchase to themselves, a
Good Esteem to Out-live their Death, as well as Merit for themselves a good
Support while they Live. 'Tis a justice to them, that they should be had in ever-
lasting Remembrance; 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 the Mansions, where the First Resurrec-

APPENDIX. 273

tion is Waited and Longed for. Allow me the Expression; For I Learn't it of
my Hebrew Masters, among whom, 'tis a phrase for the Death of Learned and
Worthy men, Requisiti sunt in Academiam Coilestem."

" Verrius the Master to the Nephews of Axigustus, had a Statue Erected for
him; And Antoninus obtained from the 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 None ? 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 Pagan 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 Hierotheus; Entituling
it, Ilepc rou juaxapcou hpodzou 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 Imperial Law, we read, that Good Grammarians, having taught with
diligence Twenty Years, were 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, up to the Glorious Lord, who made him to be
what he was!"

" His Eminent Abilities for the Work, which rendred him so long Useful in
his Generation, were universally acknowledged. The next Edition of Tran-
quillus de Claris Grammaticis, may well enough bring him into the Catalogue,
and acknowledge him a Master. He was not a Meer Grammarian; yet he was a
Pure 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 opportunity 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 Tears 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 Renown 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 unto him;
yea, many that will be his Crown, 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 carry
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 WELL 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 every 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 shoidd make us Afraid of Sin,

and of incurring the fearful Judgments of God by Sin; That I do propose him
for Imitation."

The sermon concludes as follows: " Te have heard, what my master was, In
the School. Sir Walter Rawleigh commends it as a piece of wisdom, to use
great moderation when we are treating men with Commendation. I will not
forget the Kule, in carrying on my Commendation of my Master. But I will say
very much in a Little. Out of the School, he was One, Antiqua Fide, priscis
moribus; A Christian of the Old Fashion : An Old New English Christian:
And I may tell you, That was as Venerable a Sight, as the World, since the
Days of Primitive Christianity, has ever look'd up on."

" He was well Studied in the Body of Divinity: 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 Master, the Term, which has been for above three thousand
years, assign' d for the Life of a Man; he continued unto the Ninety Fourth
year of his Age, an unusual instance of Liveliness. His Intellectual Force, as
little abated as his Natural. He exemplified the Fulfillment of that word,
As thy Bays, so shall thy Strength be ; in the Gloss which the Jerusalem Targum
has put upon it; As thou wast in the Bayes of thy Youth, such thou shalt be in
thy Old Age. The Keward of his Fruitfulness ! For, Fructus Liber at Arborem .'
The product of Temperance; Eather than what my Lord Verulam assigns, as a
Reason for Vivacious Scholars."

"Death must how do its part. He By'd, Longing for Beath. Our old
Simeon waited for it, that he might get nearer to the Consolation of Israel. He
Byed leaning like Old Jacob, upon a Staff; the Sacrifice and the Righteousness
of a Glorious Christ, he let us know, was the Golden Staff, which he Lean'd
upon. He Byed 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 under the Displeasure of Heaven, for Former Iniquities, he
thought, as well as Later Ones. To say no more: He Dyed, A Candidate fob
the First Resurrection. And Yerily, our Land is Weakened, when those
Fly away, at whose Flight we may cry out, My Father, My Father, the Chariots
o/New England and the Horsemen thereof."

An -Essay on the Memory of my Venerable Master ;
^tkitl ©fjeefar.

Augusto perstringere Carmine Laudes.

Quas nulla Eloquij vis Celebrare queat.
You that are Men, & Thoughts of Manhood know,
Be Just now to the Man that made you so.
Martyr' d by Scholars the stabb'd Cassian dies,
And falls to cursed Lads a Sacrifice.
Not so my Cheever ; Not by Scholars slain,
But Prais'd and Lov'd, and wish'd to Life again.
A mighty Tribe of Well-instructed Youth
Tell what they owe to him, and Tell with Truth,

All the Eight parts of Speech he taught to them

They now Employ to Trumpet his Esteem.

They fill Fames Trumpet, and they spread a Fame

To last till the Last Trumpet drown the same.

Magister pleas'd them well, because 'twas he ;

They saw that Bonus did with it agree.

While they said Amo, they the Hint improve

Him for to make the Object of their Love.

No Concord so Inviolate they knew

As to pay Honours to their Master due.

With Interjections they break off at last,

But, Ah, is all they use, Wo, and Alas!

We Learnt Prosodia, but with that Design

Our Masters Name should in our Verses shine.

Our Weeping Ovid but instructed us

To write upon his Death, De Tristibus.

Tully we read, but still with this Intent,

That in his praise we might be Eloquent.

Our Stately Virgil made us but Contrive

As our Anchises to keep him Alive.

When Phoenix to Achilles was assign' d

A Master, then we thought hot Homer blind:

A Phoenix, which Oh ! might his Ashes shew !

So rare a Thing we thought our Master too.

And if we made a Theme, 'twas with Regret

We might not on his Worth show all our Wit.

Go on, ye Grateful Scholars to proclame
To late Posterity your Masters Name.
Let it as many Languages declare
As on Loretto-Table do appear.

Too much to be by any one exprest :

ril tell my share, and you shall tell the rest.

Ink is too vile a Liquor; Liquid Gold

Should fill the Pen, by which such things are told.

The Book should Amyanthus-Fa^er be

All writ with Gold, from all corruption free.

A Learned Master of the Languages
Which to Kich Stores of Learning are the Keyes :
He taught us first Good Sense to understand
And put the Golden Keyes into our Hand,
We but for him had been for Learning Dumb,
And had a sort of Turkish Mutes become.
Were Grammar quite Extinct, yet at his Brain
The Candle might have well been lit again.
If Bhet'rick had been stript of all her Pride
She from his Wardrobe might have been Supply' d.
Do but Name Cheevee, and the Echo straight
Upon that Name, Good Latin, will Repeat.

A Christian Terence, Master of the File
That arms the Curious to Reform their Style.
Now Rome aud Athens from their Ashes rise ;
See their Platonick Year with vast surprize :
And in our School a Miracle is wrought ;
For the Dead Languages to Life are brought.

His Work he Lov'd: Oh ! had we done the same !
Our Play-dayes still to him ungrateful came.
And yet so well our Work adjusted Lay,
We came to Work, as if we came to Play.

Our Lads had been, but for his wondrous Cares,
Boyes of my Lady Mores unquiet Pray'rs.
Sure were it not for such informing Schools,
Our Lat'ran too would soon be fill'd with Owles.
Tis Corlet's pains, & Cheever's, we must own,
That thou, New-England, art not Scythia grown.
The Isles of Silly had o' re-run this Day
The Continent of our America.
Grammar he taught, which 'twas his work to do:
But he would Hagar have her place to know.

The Bible is the Sacred Grammar, where
The Rules of speaking well, contained are.

He taught us Lilly, and he Gospel taught;

And us poor Children to our Saviour brought.

Master of Sentences, he gave us more

That we in our Sentent ice had before.

We Learn't Good Things in Tullies Offices ;

But we from him Learn't Better things than these.

With Cato's he to us the Higher gave.

Lessons of Jesus, that our Souls do save.

We Constru'd OotcTs Metamorphosis,

But on ourselves charg'd, not a Change to miss.

Toung Austin wept, when he saw Lido dead,

Tho' not a Tear for a Lost Soul he had:

Our Master would not let us be so vain,

But us from Virgil did to David train,

Textors Epistles would not Cloathe our Souls;

Pauls too we heard; we went to School at Pauls.

Syrs, Do you not Remember well the Times,
When us he warn'd against our Youthful Crimes:
What Honey dropt from our old Nestors mouth
When with his Counsels he Reform'd our Youth:
How much he did to make us Wise and Good ;
And with what Prayers, his work he did conclude.
Concern'd that when from him we Learning had,
It might not Armed Wickedness be made !
The Sun shall first the Zodiac forsake,
And Stones unto the Stars their Flight shall make ;

APPENDIX. 277

First shall the Summer bring large drifts of Snow,
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 ;
JSzekiel should not be the Name of such ;
We'd Agathangelus not think too much.

Who Serv'd the School, the Church did not forget;
But Thought, and Pray'd, and often wept for it.
Mighty in Prayer : How did he wield thee, Pray'r!
Thou Reverst Thunder: Christ' s-Sides-piercing Spear ?
Soaring we saw the Bird of 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 Splendor 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 Cause 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.
Tou tell of Snowy Heads and Rheumy Eyes
And things that make a man himself despise.
Tou say, & frozen Liquor chills the Veins,
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 ;
Hayes &\\ Decrepit; and a Bending Back,
Propt by a Staff, in Hands that ever shake.

Nay, Syrs, our Cheever shall confute you all,
On whom there did none of these Mischefs fall.
He Litfd and to vast Age no Illness knew;
Till Times Scythe waiting for him Eusty grew.

He Liv'd and Wrought ; His Labours were Immense;

But ne'r Declin'd to Prater-perfect Tense.

A Blooming Youth in him at Ninety Four

"We saw; But, Oh! when such a sight before!

At Wondrous Age he did his Youth resume,

As when the Eagle mew's his Aged plume.

With Faculties of Season still so bright,

And at Good Services so Exquisite ;

Sure our sound Chiliast, we wondring thought,

To the First Resurrection is not brought!

No, He for That was waiting at the Gate

In the Pure Things that fit a Candidate.

He in Good Actions did his Life Employ,

And to make others Good, he made his Joy.

Thus well-appris'd now of the Life to Come,

To Live here was to him a Martyrdom.

Our brave Macrobius Long'd to see the Day

Which others dread, of being CalVd away.

So, Ripe with Age, he does invite the Hook,

Which watchful does for its large Harvest look;

Death gently cut the Stalk, and kindly laid

Him, where our God His Granary has made.

Who at New-Raven first began to Teach,
Dying Unshipwreck'' d, does Wliite-Haven reach.
At that Fair Haven they all Storms forget;
He there his Davenport with Love does meet.
The Luminous Robe, the Loss whereof with Shame
Our Parents wept, when Naked they became;
Those Lovely Spirits wear it, and therein
Serve God with Priestly Glory, free from Sin.

But in his Paradisian Rest above,
To Us does the Blest Shade retain his Love.
With Ripened Thoughts Above concern' d for Us,
We can't but hear him dart his Wishes, thus.
' Tutors, Be Strict; But yet be Gentle too:
' Don't by fierce Cruelties fair Hopes undo.
' Dream not, that they who are to Learning slow,
' Will mend by Arguments in Ferio.
' Who keeps the Golden Fleece, Oh, let him not
' A Dragon be, tho' he Three Tongues have got.

• Why can you not to Learning find the way,
' But thro' the Province of Severia ?

1 Twas Moderatus, who taught Origen ;
1 A Youth which prov'd one of the Best of men.
' The Lads with Honour first, and Reason Rule;
' Blowes are but for the Refractory Fool.

280 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

The following appeared in the Boston Weekly News Letter, from
Thursday, Jan. 5th, to Thursday, Jan. 12th, 1738: "Boston. Last Tuesday
in the afternoon died here the Reverend and Learned Mr. Nathaniel Williams,
a Gentleman who has been a faithful 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 imployed 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 was ordained an
Evangelist in the College Hall, for one of the West India islands (in 1698). But
the climate not agreeing with his constitution, He soon returned to this his native
City, where He was first employed by several Gentlemen to instruct their sons in
learning; and soon after introduced into the government of the then only Publick
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 diligent 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 strength and
vigour of his Life, was a great and publick Blessing, and then he continued for
about Thirty Years ; 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 1754, on the course of studies in the Latin School, referred to on
page 40 : —

Undecima, tandem, schola jam demittitur hora,

Laetentur magis an pueri, die, anne magister ?

Emicat, en pubes ! lseta os, vaga lumina laeta.
Nee mora longa — brevis requies spatiumque labori;
Prima hora pransos studiis campana remittit.
Ecce Maro primus ! crines lauroque decorus
Insignisque : tuba, bella, horrida bella ! sonanti!
" Cedite, Romani scriptores! cedite Graii !"
Quis non attonitus videt heroasque deosque ?
Quern non pertentat flamma infelicis Elis»!
Jurgia pastorum, teneros vel ludatamores,
Vel dicat, " quaB cura bourn, qui cultus habendo
Sit pecori : atque apibus quanta experientia parcis."
Quaecumque ille canit, canit omnia consule digna.
Salve, magne Maro ! tua dum, divina poeta !
Scripta lego, ardescoque legens, scribensque tremisco.
O, flammffl si parva tuae scintilla, tuaeque
Particula, O Maro ! nunc mihi pectora tangeret aurse,
Altius insurgens animo, majora sonarem,
Dicerem et insigni Beverigi digna camcena.

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, <fec, 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 tbe
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 four, viz., James Lovell,
John Leach, John Hunt and William Starr

282 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

July 19. Escorted from prison again, -with the additional company of three
sailors, thieves and housebreakers, surrounded by soldiers. The three sailors
examined, Mr. Hunt, Starr and myself were asked who prosecuted us, etc., and
one Captain Symmes 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
Lovell was charged with being "a spy and giving intelligence 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 firearms." When Captain
Symmes 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 1813, 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 tbree 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 with
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 perfect farce of teach-
ing. There was no sort of instruction. J. S. told tbe 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 " thrashed 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 wrote 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.

In 1784 and for a long time after there 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 writing schools." — Wm. B.
Fowle, in Am. Jour, of JSduc, Vol. 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 young 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 hours, forenoon or afternoon, and
about thirty availed themselves of the privilege, although they were obliged to
neglect one school to attend the other, and unpuiictuality 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 when the ark
Was considered a highly respectable bark,
And the hair of whose heads was beginning to thin in
Susceptible spots, when I wore baby linen :

Who can tell of school antics that beat mine all hollow,
And yarns that we try 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 large 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,

0 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 churns in this brain, like the roar of the sea,
That moth-eaten "Burial March of Dundee,"
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 !
(Especially those with a sensitive end).

* The Hon. Frederick 0. Prince, a Latin School boy, of our Cla93 of 1827, was the Mayor
of the City of Boston.

APPENDIX. 285

Forever will gladden my fancy, I ween,

His dear old umbrella so stagnantly green,

His ancient surtont, 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 curls
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."

"The System of Public Education, adopted by the Town of Boston,
15th October, 1789," referred to on page 59 of the text, is herewith given
in full.

It has a special value, as it is made from the original copy discovered
among Mr. Hunt's private papers, which bears his autograph, and is in
all probability unique. This pamphlet was a small quarto, 8J by 64 inches,
printed on a sheet of laid paper, of English manufacture, as shown by the
water mark, G. R. crowned, and a rampant lion enclosed in a circular paling.

Our pages are not of proper proportions to admit of giving it in fac-
simile, and the type we have been forced to employ is somewhat smaller
in size, but the old fashioned letter of the original has been imitated, the
capitals, punctuation, etc., have been closely followed, and the end of each
page is indicated by a figure in brackets.

write a Latin 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.

Ap., 1881.

The following extract is taken from the Records of the Boston School
Committee : —

Oct. 14th, 1822. A letter from a gentleman was read offering $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 propose with the concurrence of your honour and the Board of Aldermen
at the annual examination of the Public Schools in Boston which take place in
1823, to offer a gold medal of the value of $50, with an appropriate devise and
inscription to be executed under 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 *uch 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 Eecords 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,

Tour 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."

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 separate page a representation 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 the designs given, at one time the medal was simply a disk of silver
with an engraved inscription. We give also a list of the pupils who have
been recipients of these medals, corrected from that published by the School
Committee in 1875, 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 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 another State. 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, I 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 ' and
the ' Old Doctor,' reminds me of good old Master Hunt's ferule and my escape from it.
He whipped me often and very hard, and hurt confoundedly. One day I could not help
crying bitterly. He called me 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 me.' I was in a roaring passion,
but the boys in the school laughed outright, and the old man smiled, and patted me on the
head, and said, ' Go to your seat, you rogue, I will not touch yon again,' and he never did.

"All honor to our old teachers, and success to the Franklin Monument.

"Yours, C. W. G."

The following Poem by William Everett, was read at the dinner of the
Boston Latin School Association in 1877 : —

Is our 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?

H.
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 ?

Hi.

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.

IV.

Blundering yet o'er Greek subjunctives,

Shuddering at the discount rule,
Loathing pipes and loving cream cakes—

Ah, I ought to be at school!
Blowing rainbow bubbles daily,

Eager for each new employ,
Tired with one week's steady drudging—

Why! he's nothing but a boy.

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.

VII.

Stand I thus the only waverer,

Looking on and backward too ?
Ah, I see the telltale blushes,

Owning kindred doubts in you!
Young hearts bowed by cares of manhood,

White heads warm with youthful joys,
O my staid and reverend schoolmates,

' ' Whispering ! sprouting ! Mark those boys ! ' '

vm.

Mother! Thou whose lively nurture

Fostered every purpose 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 thoughts employs,
Break and thaw the freezing current;

Mother ! Keep thy children boys !

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,

Lured by hope or pleasure, then
Draw once more thy old-time bridle;

Mother, make thy children men 1

Boys in hope, and men in council,

Boys in action, men in thought;
Boys to breast the world's encounter,

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 fun to-day.
Hopes and memories chime to warn us,

" Hearts be green, though locks be gray."
So our city's pious motto

Glows with richer light for us;
" Sit in omne Dews cevum

Nobis sicut patribus."

xn.

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 men: 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 : —

the North School, some of whom will be recognized as among our pupils.

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 the following :

Thomas J. Bowditch
William C. Center.
Frederick W. Hubbard.

Joseph J. Loring.
William O. Parks.

The reason of the omission of these names here is inexplicable, unless the
crediting of them to the School there is an error.

The names of Charles Brown, Jr., George Carlton, George W. Davis, John
Motley, Andrew J. Ritchie, and Henry S. Sargent, which are given on the
same list, are probably intended for Charles I. Brown, George J. Carlton,
George C. Davis, John Lothrop Motley, Andrew Ritchie, and Henry J.
Sargent on our Catalogue.

The following portraits are owned by the Boston Latin School Association : —

A portrait of Samuel James Bridge, first Secretaiy and Treasurer of the Boston
Latin School Association, has been deposited with the Association by Mr. Bridge.

Since the account of the building of the School House, on page 87, was
printed, 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 Church.

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, John Steel Esq8 & Messs Jn Tyng, Wm
Salter, Saml Grant, & Hill so these gentlemen now began 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 th6t this Proceeding
most unreasonable and even unchristian but a majority prevail' d; several of the

320 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 Justine 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 Eoom 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 £2380.

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
Proposals 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 Church — 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 Esqr 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 fhe 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.

Fob convenience of reference to the text, it has seemed desirable to employ
certain marks in the Index, of which the following is the 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 1847,) 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 1847, has been supplied 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 was our pupil. (See page iv of the preface to the
edition of 1847.)

? 1 signifies that while the Christian name against which 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 under which they
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 new, with cross
references from each.

ADDENDA.

The following information has been obtained while these pages
were passing through the press, but too late for insertion in the
proper place.

UNDER THE INSTRUCTORS.

Ushers. Page 18. .

1714. Edward Wigglesworth is shown to have been in office before
Jan. 17 If, by the following certificate of Nath'l Williams, the original of
which is in the possession of Jeremiah Colburn, Esq., of Boston.

Boston Jan . 7. 1714/15
Gentlemen

This may certifye you that Mr Edward Wigglesworth has continued to assist

me in keeping the Grammar School another quarter, even to this day,

Tr humble Servt

Nathl. Williams
To the Select men for

the Town of Boston.

On page 22.

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, Byron, insert 12, before 30.

H*H

1735

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.

1736

Copeland. Against this name Dr. Homer has written Copely, Painter, but
this must be an error, as Copley was 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 Burial 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.

(3S9)

390 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

1738

Page 55. To note 5 should be added : See also Bridgman's Pilgrims of
Boston, and the reference to the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical
Society should be xiv, 200. '

In Note 6, the conjectured spelling given is found to agree with the state-
ment of Dr. Homer.

Robert Treat Paine. See the Polyanthos for June, 1814.

Caleb Blanchard, an Assessor, died aged 71. See Bur. Beg. King's Chapel.

1739

Malem is perhaps John Maylem, who died 11 June, 1747, in the 17th year
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 Enoch, a brother of Adino and John
of our class of 1735.

1741

Hillar is perhaps Joseph Hillar, referred to in Curwen's Journal, 4th edit,
p. 561.

Note 13 ; p. 59, a reference to Joseph Fitch, mentioned here, will be found
in the 2d edition of Whitman's History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company, p. 282.

1742

Blanchard is px*obably Edward, b. Boston, 1734, died 18 July, 1792, a mer-
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 Honor-
able Artillery Co. gives a different statement of the parentage of William
Phillips, and also gives the date of his death as 1771.

1746
Page 66. To note 4, add See also Proceedings of the Massachusetts His-
torical Society, 1881-2, p. 406, note.

1748

James Pitts. Perhaps son of James, b. 1741, d. 1772, at New Providence.
See Goodwin's Pitts Genealogy, p. 35.

Page 69. To note 13, (Samuel Allyne Otis), add Also N. E. Hist. Gen.
Reg. ii. 292.

1755

Apthorp. Dr. Homer suggests that this was William, and we have so
filled the blank conjecturally, though he has probably confounded him with
the William in the previous column.

ADDENDA. . 391

1756

William Oxnard. Dr. Homer says this should be Edward, very likely
confounding him with the Edward below.
Samuel Pitts. See Bridgman's King's Chapel Epitaphs, p. 275.

1758

Samuel Gore. See History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co.,
2d edition, p. 336.

Daniel Jones. May be Rev., Coll. New Jersey, 1766, but more probably
is as we have given in the text.

To note 15, (William Coffin,) add Son of Nathaniel the Cashier, brother of
Nathaniel of our Class of 1757 and Gen. John of 1765 and Sir Isaac of 1766.

1759

Page 80. To note l,(John Joy,) add Bapt. 1st Church, 29 Dec. 1751.
Jonathan (?) Pollard. Perhaps the Jonathan of our Class of 1757 is the
one whom we have supposed to have been identified here.

1760

Thomas Edwards. See Memorials of Massachusetts Cincinnati by F. S.
Drake, p. 19.

Perez Morton. Note 17 has refei'ence to a spelling of the name Moreton,
originally given in the text, but altered without changing the note.

1761

Minott. To the suggestion in note 4, page 82, we would add, Possibly
Francis, who died Dec. 1774, set. 28.

Prout. A William Prout was at the North Grammar School from 1768-74,
but would probably have been too old then to be our boy here.

To note 12, p. 82, (William Eustis,) add, See Memorials 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
and Honorable Artillery Co., 2d edition, p. 356.

James Prince. To note 8, p. 87, add Dr. Homer gives this name as
John.

Samuel Doggett. Dr. Homer gives this name William. See note 16 on
page 85.

392 PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL.

1766

A notice of this class will be found in the Columbian Centinel of 15 Feb.,
1826.

To note 6, page 88, add, See Historical Sketch, p. 40, for a contemporary
account of this transaction.

To the note on General Haldiman, at the bottom of the page, add He was
of Swiss descent. See Drake's Biographical Dictionary.

Jacob Eustis was a brother of (Governor) William of our Class of 1761.

1767

James Gould. Dr. Homer supplies the name here as Samuel.
James Millar Church was a son of Dr. Benjamin of our Class of 1745.

1768

Benjamin Cobb, Jr., b. 2 Nov. 1759, was a brother of Samuel. A Mer-
chant, of the firm of B. Cobb & Sons, 22 Long Wharf.

1769

Arnold Welles. See History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co.,
2d edition, p. 379.

1770

Charles Bulfinch. To note 1, p. 96, add, See Bridgman's King's Chapel
Epitaphs, p. 282.

1771
Jonathan Davis was a Merchant.

Edward McLane, Dep. Secretary of State. Buried 21 March, 1826 ; see
Burial Register King's Chapel.

1772

Thomas Green (?J) Hubbard. Dr. Homer supplies Joseph as the name
here.

John Soley. See the By-laws of St. Andrew's Royal Arch Chapter, (edi-
tion of 1874,) p. 164.

John Baker Sohier. The age in Hunt's Catalogue, given in note 4, must
be wrong, as he was born in 1767.

1773
Benjamin Homans was Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

1774

Edward Blanchard was born in 1760. If the conjectured Edward of 1765
is correct, he is the same boy, but that conjecture is very likely wrong.

1776
Benjamin Andrews. See Recollections of Samuel Breek.
Thomas Curtis. A Merchant. See Burial Register King's Chapel.
Page 108. To note 12, (Thomas Fleet,) add, See Buckingham's Reminis-
cences, i. 145.

John Hoskins was baptized at King's Chapel, 17 April, 1765.

ADDENDA. 393

James Lloyd was the donor of the Lloyd Medal.

Samuel Prince was baptized at King's Chapel, 7th April, 1769. The date
of his death is given in the Burial Register of King's Chapel.

1777

George Bethune entered in 1778. Add Treasurer of the Roxbury and Bos-
ton Mill-Dam Corporation.

Page 112. To note 1, (John Sweetser Lillie,) add, Also Buckingham's
Reminiscences, ii. 315.

William Mackay was the first City Treasurer of Boston.

1780

Benjamin Whitwell. See A History of the Law, the Courts, and the Law-
yers of Maine, by Wm. Willis, p. 242.

1781
Page 116. To note 4, (Thomas Paine,) add, See also Buckingham's Remi-
niscences, ii. 247.

1782

William Mackay is very likely identical with the Wm. M. of 1777.

1784

Page 120. To note 7, (Francis Johonnot Oliver,) add, See By-Laws St.
Andrew's Royal Arch Chapter, ed. 1874, p. 162.

1796

Benjamin Andrews. It is not unlikely this is the Benjamin (Andrews)
Hitchborn of 1795. The confusion of names will be explained by consult-
ing the Recollections of Samuel Breck, p. 22. See note 10, p. 131.

1810-11

To Henry Kemble Oliver add Mus. Doct. Dart. 1883.

1815

Charles Pierce. PDartmouth 1825, A.M. *1852. Perhaps the pupil, aged
13, at Phillips Andover Academy in 1817, from Newburyport. *1858.

1816

Jonathan J. Gardner should probably be inserted in this Class. See Annual
Catalogue of 1832.

Charles Frederic Langdon. Add Dart. Med. Sch. 1828.

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.

1819

Benjamin R. Welch. It has proved impossible to ascertain whether R in
this name is for Rand or Renkin.

1820

Joseph Henry Gardner. Dele Clerk, *1884, and add Sec. of Neptune,
and President of Triton Lis. Cos. *1886.

Thomas Oliver Prescott, afterwards Qliver Prescott Hilly er. Add *1878.

1824

Edward Belknap, John L. Hooper, George C. McBride, John W. Randall
are all given on the annual Catalogue published in 1826 as having entered
school in this Class.

The Catalogue of 1847 gives Thomas E. Willis, but he is omitted in Messrs.
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
we give.
