SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
Fifty years had passed since the Albany Academy received a
corporate existence. In that half-century, Albany itself had re-
ceived a new life. It had wakened to commercial strength ; the
grasp of the canal and the railways had lifted it up to wealth and to
power, and the jubilee of the great school of the city, even though
it came in an hour of «^vil, was welcomed by a large circle of the
J community.
^ The Albany Academy had been firmly founded. It had received
^ the attention of the city when that city was yet so small as to con-
centrate its judgment in public affairs. It had received the care and
^ good will of the stately old men of the colonial and revolutionary
'V time, who, many of them, survived till the period when its organiza-
' tiou was determined. The liberality and good taste of the times,
- had enshrined it in a noble building. It was in all respects worthy
I of the great word Learning. The trustees of the Academy, who had
K watched faithfully over its career, some of them for a long series of
^ years, were gratified when the proposition was made'to signalize its
I fiftieth year of life, by calling together its Alumni and its Students .
J and as the plan for the appropriate celebration of such day developed
^ it was found that everywhere the love for the Old School, was vivid,
\3 and that a response in favor of the proposition was in readiness.
^ Perhaps it was doubted whether the event would find welcome in
the deep shadows of our great national calamity, but those who thus

doubted, did not estimate the genuineness of the affection which the
thousands whose educational home had been the Albany Academy
bore for the memory of the Teachers who had gone out from the
presence of those who in all usefulness, were in action in its halls.
The invitation to the Celebration was given by the following
circular :

Dear Sir : Alhaiiy, April 4, 1863.
The Albany Academy during the present year completes half a
century of its history. The board of trustees have thought that
perhaps this event might not be without interest to the thousands
who during that time have been educated within its walls. They
have therefore resolved that the semi-centennial anniversary of this
institution shall in some suitable way be celebrated, and for this
purpose they ask that you, as one of its Alumni, should serve as a
member of a committee to make arrangements for the occasion.
This committee is requested to meet for organization and busi-
ness, on Wednesday evening, April 8th, 1863, at the library of the
Academy.

On tlie evening of the 8th of April, 1863, the committee met at
the Institute Room of the Academy.
The Hon John Van Buren was appointed chairman, and
William H. Bogart, secretary, and the plan for the Celebration
was matured. The names of the gentlemen who should be requested
to prepare an Address and an Historical Sketch of the Institution,
having been selected with unanimity.
The general features of the Celebration were arranged, and it was
evident that the proposal would find something better than formal
cooperation, a very genuine and haarty zeal of execution.
It was represented to the committee that the subject of the
erection of a suitable monument to Dr. T. Romeyn Beck, had been
under the consideration of the former students of the Academy ',
and, on motion of Mr. Murray, it was unanimously
" Resolved^ That the purpose of this monument meets the hearty
approval of this committee, and that we confide to the Alpha Sigma
Svcittij the execution of the project, and that they be loquestcd to

report the progress of their enterprise, and a suitable plan, to the
meeting of the Alumni at their Semi-Centennial Anniversary."
The following circular was transmitted by the committee of
arrangements to as many of the Alumni, as it was found practicable
to address. In the vicissitudes of fifty years, a community as rest-
less and as active, as are all in our young nation, obliterates in fre-
quent instances all traces of individual evidence or fate, and the
boys of the half-century have found all parts of the world open to
their enterprise, and to summon the survivors from their homes
everywhere, would have been to bring hither the far off traveler —
the weary voyager.
There were many answers made to the committee, a selection
from which will be found embodied in the proceedings. The de-
sire of many to come, prevented by circumstances, will be met by
this volume, as it portrays the events of a reunion which was in all
its incidents the joyous gathering of grateful hearts, blending in a
common and a concentrated kindness.

Dear Sir : June 26th, 1863. /
The Albany Academy has completed the fiftieth year of its ex-
istence. It was chartered, by the Regents of the university of the
state of New York, March 4th, 1813. During this period over five
thousand students have been received and educated within its walls.
It has been thought that perhaps such of the former students and
officers of this institution as still survive, might deem it a privilege
to unite in celebrating this occasion in some suitable way.
To this end, the undersigned, who have been appointed by the
board of trustees as a committee of arrangements, earnestly solicit
your attendance at Albany, Friday, June 26th, 1863, at the follow-
ing

ALBANY ACADEMY.
PROCEEDINGS. 7
At 3 p. m. a public meeting of the Alumni of tlie Academy will
be held at Twcddle hall.
Honorable Alexander W. Bradford, LL. D., of New York,
will pronounce a Commemorative Oration.
Orlando Meads, LL. D., will read a History of the Institution.
At 80 o'clock in the evening a reiinion of the Alumni and Officers
of the Academy will be held in the chapel and rooms of the Acade-

Music has been kindly proflFered by vocalists and artists of the
Alumni.
During the evening a meeting will be organized in the chapel, at
which addresses will be made by various distinguished speakers.
It is proposed to publish as the result of this celebration a memo-
rial volume, which shall contain besides proceedings of the meetings,
a complete catalogue of the students of the Academy from its com-
mencement.
From those not residing in the city of Albany, an answer to this
communication is respectfully solicited, and may be addressed to
David IMurray, Esq., Principal of Albany Academy.
The committee have endeavored by every means in their power
to obtain the addresses of the former students of the Academy, and
to send invitations to them ; but there is no doubt that with all the
diligence they have employed that many will have been omitted.
They will, therefore, be under great obligations if any gentleman
to whom these invitations may be sent, will extend the same invita-
tion to others.
N. B. The Alumni and officers are requested to assemble at the
Academy building at two o'clock, in order to proceed to the Hall
in a body.

Albany, N. Y, |
Dear Sir: May, 1863.
There has been a desire very generally manifested among the
Alumni of the Albany Academy, to have some suitable and lasting
testimonial erected in memory of the late Dr. T. IIomeyn Beck,
who, by his zeal and ability, as principal of the Academy for more
than thirty years, gained for it a rank second to no similar institu-
tion in the country.
The eminent propriety of such a tribute to one so distinguished
for his life-long and efficient labors for the promotion of the cause
of education and science, will be readily recognized by all.
But especially will it at once suggest itself to his former pupils,
PROCEEDINGS. 9
who are so deeply indebted for their success and usefulness in life,
to his faithful teachings and wise counsels ; and to whom, his rare
virtues, his varied acquirements and his energy of purpose have
been a guiding and inspiring remembrance. To them no argument
can be necessary to secure their hearty and liberal cooperation in a
project which has for its end the perpetuation of his memory.
In calling to mind the zealous instructions and uniform kindness
of Dr. Beck, that so won the universal respect and affection of his
pupils, we recall one of the most delightful of the cherished associa-
tions that cluster around the earlier and happier moments of our
lives.
The Alumni, in giving expression to their esteem and reverence
in the manner proposed, will perform, though a somewhat sad, yet
a most grateful labor; and the public will take pride in the monu-
ment erected as a tribute to the worth of one whose great public
services have rendered him an acknowledged benefactor of mankind.
The Alpha Sigma Society, the members of which are all former
pupils of Dr. Beck, have been requested to carry out this project?
and they have unhesitatingly undertaken this labor of affectionate
regard.
Designs for an appropriate testimonial have been promised by
several distinguished artists.
To aid in defraying the expenses it has been determined to apply
to all of the Alumni of the Academy who can be reached, that thus
the memorial may be from as many pupils as possible.
It is estimated that at least 83,000 will be necessary to ensure a
satisfactory result, and contributions of from ^1 to $100 are solicited,
in order that it shall be within the power of every one to become a
contributor.
To you, as one of the Alumni, we look for aid, and solicit your
contribution.
As a personal application can not be made to you, please send
your contribution to the treasurer of the society, " John C. McClure,
Box 440, P. 0., Albany, N. Y."
A report of the progress of this enterprise will form a part of the
exercises upon that occasion, and as it is most earnestly desired that
we shall be able at that time to report that sufficient funds have
2 '

been collected to ensure the success of the project, we would respect-
fully ask as early a response as possible.

The committee subsequently agreed on the twenty-sixth day of
June, 1863, as being an appropriate time for the Celebration, and
the result evidenced that the day was well selected, as at that time
the foliage was luxuriant which the fifty years has given to a ground
once the most barren and arid of clay banks, and the great trees
waved in depth of shadow around the beautiful building, and the
Alumni were privileged in seeing the Academy with such surround-
ing of nature, as its founders regarded as an event too distant in
the future to be regarded as real.
The Academy was built where literally, a great excavation was
made not merely for the foundation, but for the basement story, and
when lawn and walk and grove existed only in the storied Acade-
mies of the Grecian, whose moral teachings established their order
of school.
The day was of the pleasant hours of the beautiful month, and
was appropriate in all respects for the exercises. Gathering in the
Hall of the Academy, the Alumni seemed to revive as to the i'ace of
an old friend, their associations with lecture and study rooms, and
to recall the memories of the long past hour, when the preparation
for the realities of life's work was imparted.
At 10 o'clock the Reunion was duly formed in appropriate order
under the direction of Col. Frederic Townsend of the United
States Army, who had so honorably associated his name with the
scenes of the battlefield. His very capable assistants were Messrs.
rilOCEEDINGS. 11
S. AV. Whitney, James McKnown, Robert L. Johnson and Charles
E. Smith. Trcccdent moved the Trustees, the Faculty, and the
Guests, while the Alumni and Students with them, formed an im-
posing army, which led by the music of Screiber's band, retraced
the streets so familiar in all the incidents of Academical days. It
was a procession which commanded the attention and the respect
of the citizens.
Tweddle Hall was selected as the place for the delivering of the
Address and of the History, and nothing could have been more ap-
propriate for its purposes. This hall occupies the lot once owned
by the only signer of the Declaration of Independence, who was a
citizen of Albany — the Honorable Philip Livingston, and whose
biography had been prepared by one of the Alumni of the Academy,
Theodore Sedgwick, whose loss, literature has long deplored.
In the Hall, which was crowded with an appropriate audience,
The meeting was presided over by the Honorable Peter GtANSE-
VOORT, the President of the Board of Trustees, and by his side
were his associates and the guests of the festival, among whom was
warmly welcomed Herman Melville, whose reputation as an
author has honored the Academy, world-wide.
Wetron's Grand March was then performed by the band.
The Reverend Doctor Ferris, now the Chancellor of the New
York University, who had been of the very early history of the
Academy as Teacher and Trustee, made prayer to Heaven, the
source of that knowledge which shall not vanish away.
The following Historical Discourse was then read by Orlando
Meads, LL. D., a former student of the Academy.
HISTORICAL DISCOURSE.
The founding of the Albany Academy, whether it be regarded in
the light of the interest which it excited at the time, or of the influ-
ence which the institution has exerted through the pupils it has sent
forth, was an event of no small importance in the annals of Albany.
Our country was at the time involved in its second war with Great
Britain; but as is the case now, so was it then, that never did our
people show a stronger instinct of their own national perpetuity
and greatness, and never did they evince more interest in those
things which look to their welfare in the remote future, than at the
very time when they were struggling for the preservation of na-
tional existence.
The great and wise men of that day knew well the value of a
sound education; and no public interest seemed to them more
important than that of providing adequately for supplying it to
their children. There was, at that time, hardly a public school or
academy of a high order in this part of the country. At an early
day, this deficiency had excited the attention of our leading men ;
and we find that, in March, 1804, a public meeting was held in this
city, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of
instituting a city academy; and the Lieut. Governor, the Mayor,
Chancellor Lansing, the Rev. Dr. Nott, the Rev. Dr. De Witt, John
V. Henry and George D. Beers — all of them zealous and perse-
vering friends of education — were appointed a committee to report
the plan of a suitable institution. At a subsequent meeting the
plan was submitted and approved ; but it does not appear that the
proposition at that time led to any practical result. It was not,
however, lost sight of; but in 180G another effort was made by the
HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 13
Rev. Dr. Beaslcy (then the rector of St. Peter's, afterwards pro-
vost of the University of Pennsylvania), the Rev. Dr. Romeyn, and
the Rev. Dr. Bradford (then ministers of the Dutch church in this
city), " to procure the establishment of a grammar school, of such
a nature that it might afterwards be converted into an academy."
This attempt also failed ; and we find no record of any renewed
affort of the kind until November, 1812 : when, probably through
the quiet influence of that ever earnest and pci'sistent friend of the
measure, Philip S. Van Rensselaer (then the mayor of the city),
the project was renewed under favorable auspices. A committee
was appointed by the common council " to report a plan and the
expense of establishing a city academy, and also as to the expedi-
ency of erecting and endowing the same." On the 18th of January
following, the common council called a general meeting of citizens,
to be held at the Capitol on the 25th of the same month, to consult
on the expediency and necessity of instituting an academy in this
city; and, preparatory to this meeting, they appropriated, in addition
to certain other appropriations previously made by them for the same
purpose, the old Jail property and its adjacent grounds, situate on
the north side of State, near Eagle street; being the gi'ound recently
known as Van Vechten Hall. This property was then valued at
about $15,000 ; and, with the other appropriations above referred
to, amounted to upwards of $20,000. The meeting was held ac-
cordingly, and Archibald Mclntyre presided. Resolutions were
adopted approving the measure, and a committee, composed of some
of the most eminent men of the day, who then resided in this city,
and whose names have since become historic, was appointed to
carry it into effect. They were authorized to receive the funds ap-
propriated by the city, to apply to the Regents of the university
for a charter of incorporation, and to obtain further subscriptions
from the citizens in aid of the object.
These proceedings were reported to, and approved by, the common
council, who nominated the persons who were to be named in the
charter as trustees of the institution. Application was thereupon
made to the regents, who, on the 13th day of March, 1813, in pur-
suance of the powers vested in them by the laws of this state,
granted a charter, incorporating Stephen Van Rensselaer, John
Lansing, jr., Archibald Mclntyre, Smith Thompson, Abraham Van
14 ALBANY ACADEMT SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
Vechten, John V. Henry, Henry Walton, William Niell, John M.
Bradford, John McDonald, Timothy Clowes, John 31cJinipsey,
Frederick G. Ma3'er, Samuel Merwin, and the Mayor and Recorder
of the said city, ex-qfficio, by the name of The Trustees of the
Albany Academy.
The first meeting of the trustees, under the charter, was held at
the Capitol on the 23d day of March, 1813. At that meeting.
Chancellor Lansing, Judge Thompson, and Abraham Van Vechten
— all of whom felt a deep interest in the success of the x\cademy —
tendered their resignations as trustees; their official and professional
duties, at that time, not permitting them to give to the institution
the time and attention which it then imperatively required; and
Theodore Sedgwick, Harmanus Bleecker and John Duer were
elected in their stead. Before the Academy went into operation,
however, other resignations occurred ; and Chancellor Lansing,
having withdrawn from the office of chancellor, was reelected.
William James and Theodric Romeyn Beck were at the same time
appointed trustees, and continued, during the residue of their lives,
among the most faithful, efficient and judicious members of the
board.
It would be wearisome, at such a time as this, to recount the
labors of the trustees during the two years preceding the opening
of the Academy; but it was those labors that stamped upon the
institution an impress which it has never lost ; and those of us who
have enjoyed the benefit of their exertions, owe to those wise and
faithful men, a debt of gratitude which we can not well over-esti-
mate. Happily for the institution they were forming — for the great
interests of education in this the capital of our great state — for us,
and for those who are to follow us — they were educated men, men
of wisdom, and of large experience in life, and of elevated and
comprehensive views as to the requirements of such an institution.
Let us pause here a moment, and glance at some of the distinguished
men who, at an early day, sat around that board, and gave impulse
and direction to the afiairs of the Academy. At its head, giving
grace and dignity to its deliberations, sat Stephen Van Rensselaer
— familiarly known as "the old Patroon" — with his tall and grace-
ful form, his air of high distinction, his benignant yet dignified
manner — the friend and patron of science and learning, and of
HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 15
every ^ood work, tlian whom, no man among us was more widely
and deservedly honored. Near him might be seen his brother
Philip, who for nearly twenty successive years, was mayor of this
city — a man universally beloved, and never weary of doing good;
to whose wise counsels, well directed influence, and persevering
efforts, more than to all else besides, the Academy owes, first its
establishment, and then the noble edifice given by the city for its
use. There too, taking a deep interest in all that concerned the
welfiire of the institution, was the Ex-Chancellor John Lansing, jr.,
with well-powdered head, and garments of antique fashion, grave
and dignified in mien, and sententious and decisive in his speech ;
and John V. Henry, the learned jurist and high-toned gentleman.
And there, too, was the elegant and accomplished Bradford, one of
the earliest in his efforts to procure the establishment of the Academy,
and who, for more than ten years, was unwearied in his exertions to
promote its success Not to speak of all the remarkable men who
gathered around that board, we may not leave unmentioned the
clear-headed and sagacious Mclntyre; — the elder Theodore Sedg-
wick, in whose family intellect and high cultivation were hereditary;
himself the son of a distinguished father, and the father of a no less
distinguished sou, a son who was one of the Academy's best scholars ; —
Harmanus Bleecker, whose virtues and attainments are too fresh in
our remembrance to need that we should now recall them; — and
Beck, the youngest of that distinguished body, but second to none of
them in influence and usefulness. And should we pass on to a
somewhat later period, we should find there other men not unworthy
to be associated with those whom we have named. We should meet
the gentle, kind-hearted, and persuasively eloquent Chester; and
that thorough-bred gentleman and scholar. Judge William A. Duer,
trained at Winchester — one of England's best schools — and after-
wards the president of Columbia college; and John Waters Yates,
of rare literary and classical attainments, with whom the favorite
studies of his youth were continued as the recreation and solace of
his maturer life, and who, up to the time of his death, made the
Academy and its instructions the object of his vigilant and critical
oversight. And there, too, should we see Kent, the great chan-
cellor ; in whom were wonderfully combined the deep and varied
learning of one of the greatest of ecjuity judges, the elegant tastes
16 ALBANY ACADEiTT SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
of the man of letters, and an almost youthful gaiety and vivacity of
character and manner. Long as has been the array of honored
names thus passed in review, that of James Stevenson may not be
omitted. He was a trustee for nearly thirty years, and one of the
most faithful and efficient that the Academy ever had. With the
gentleness and courtesy of the high-bred gentleman, he united an
excellent judgment and a thoroughness, exactness and punctuality
in business not often found. During the long term of his trustee-
sliip he watched over the interests of the Academy with the most
careful attention ; and at his death a bequest of five hundred dollars
for the purchase of philosophical apparatus, evinced his desire still
to promote its weliare.
Others might be named, did not their presence here with us forbid.
Long may it be our privilege thus to pass in silence names that are
everywhere regarded with honor and reverence.
To return from this digression to the consideration of the measures
taken for the organization and opening of the Academy, we find that
the work was attended with great difficulties, owing to the insuffi-
ciency of the means provided for the purpose.
The funds contributed by the city for the endowment consisted,
1. Of the proceeds of the old Jail property, amounting to about
$16,900. 2. Of a grant from the city, secured by its bond for
$5,000. And 3. The ground on the west side of the public square
intended as a site for the Academy, and on which it was afterwards
built. To these funds were added subscriptions by individual citi-
zens, amounting to upwards of $3,000. These provisions were
obviously inadequate to the establishment of such an institution as
was desired both by the common council and the trustees. After an
earnest but unsuccessful ctl'urt by the trustees to procure the requisite
means by private subscription, they, in December, 1813, applied to the
common council to erect a suitable building for the Academy at the
expense of the city. This application was favorably received; and
and on the Gth of February, 1815, the common council appropriated
$25,000 for the erection of a building, and soon afterwards they
modified their resolution so as to appropriate whatever might be
found iieccssary for the purpose. The trustees had in the mean-
while procured various plans for the edifice; and after frequent
conferences between them and the common council, both boards
HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 17
concurred in the adoption of the plan presented by Thomas C.
Taylor, being the same subf'tantially in accordance with which the
Academy was afterwards built. At that time the ground now en-
closed as the Academy park had not been excavated, but was irregular
and broken ; and for some years after the Academy had been built,
its basement was much below the surface of the adjoining grounds.
So doubtful were the common council, at that time, of the suitable-
ness of this site, that just previous to commencing the work, they
proposed to the trustees to substitute a block of ground on the
corner of Eagle and Jay streets; but the trustees, with sound judg-
ment and far-sightedness, resolved unanimously " that the site for
the Academy on the Public square was in every point of view the
most eligible;" and they therefore persevered in their request to
the corporation " to erect the Academy on said lot." The common
council, thereupon, ordered the work to proceed. The plan, as ori-
ginally adopted, contemplated that the building should be of brick,
and the ornamental work only, of freestone. Soon afterwards it was
resolved, that the whole front should be of freestone; and at last it
was determined, to substitute freestone for the whole building. The
corner stone was laid on the 29th day of July, 1815, with all
proper ceremonies, in the presence of the common council, of the
trustees, and of a large assemblage of citizens, by the Hon. Philip
S. Van Rensselaer — then mayor of the city — who delivered a
suitable address on the occasion. The building, when ultimately
finished, cost $90,000. It was a noble and munificent gift, honor-
able to those who made it, and it may well be doubted, whether one
wiser, or more lasting in its benefits, was ever made by the city.
Within its walls, during eight and forty years, five thousand of the
youth of our city have received those lessons which were to fit them
for the duties of life. No one can estimate the insensible, and
withal potent influence upon the minds of all those youths, of its
beautiful exterior — of its large and lofty school-rooms — of its
stately chapel — of its ample halls, filled with well arranged libra-
ries and scientific collections. Time has not rendered it in any degree
unfitted for its purposes, nor unworthy of its position among the
public buildings of the city. It seems to have had a power to
charm down and repress even the proverbial destructiveness of
youth; and it stands to-day, after the lapse of half a century,
a
18 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
unmarred by any spoiling hand, in all its original freshness and
beauty.
While the preparations for building were in progress, the trustees
were engaged in making the arrangements for putting the institu-
tion into practical operation. They had high views of what was
desirable, and they sought, by the selection of men of the highest
qualifications, to place the Academy at once in the first rank of
similar institutions in this country. After careful consideration,
Dr. Benjamin Allen, then of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and pre-
viously of Union college, was appointed principal and professor of
mathematics, with a salary of §2,500 and a dwelling-house. He
was a man of commanding presence, of dignified manners, and had
a high reputation for literary and scientific attainments.
It may be proper here to state, in order to show the lively interest
taken by the common council in this work, and the character of the
instruction which they desired should be furnished, that they at
this time passed a resolution, that if the trustees would engage a
competent professor of languages, and their funds at the end of the
year should be insufiicient to meet the salary, the city would make
good any deficiency. Notwithstanding the enlightened day in which
we live, it may be doubted whether it would now be easy to induce
our common council to proffer such an appropriation for such a pur-
pose. On the strength of this resolution, the trustees called the
Rev. Dr. Joseph Shaw to the professorship of the ancient languages,
with a salary of $2,000 ; and they soon after appointed Moses Cha-
pin (now Judge Chapin of Canandaigua), English tutor, with a
salary of $1,000.
The Academy was opened for the reception of pupils on Monday
the llth day of September, 1815, in the large old wooden dwelling-
house, then standing on the southeast corner of State and Lodge
streets, belonging to the late Killian K. Van Rensselaer. On that
day, around a desk in a back room, fronting on Lodge street, on
the ground floor of that building, were assembled Dr. Allen and Dr.
Shaw, with a committee of the trustees, composed of the Rev. Dr.
Niell, Dr. Beck and Mr. Sedgwick. As the boys were brought in
by their parents, their names, ages, parentage, and proposed studies
were registered, and they were tlien seated on benches which had
been placed for them around the room. When this was finished,

they were, after a few words from Dr. Allen, dismissed until the
next day, when they were assigned to their proper rooms and classes,
and the regular work of the school began. Such was the opening
scene of the Albany Academy. The number of students during
the first quarter was about 80, and rose in the coui'se of the year to
about 90 ; of whom 08 were in the classical and 22 in the English
department. The charge for tuition was at first $8 a quarter; but
at the end of the first year it was found necessary to raise it to
$12.50 for the classical, and to $10 for all other students.
At the close of the first academic year, a public examination of
the students was held for foui-* successive days, in the old supreme
court room, now the senate chamber, in the Capitol. It was con-
ducted with much state and solemnity, and excited great solicitude
on the part of the boys. In the lofty judges' seat, presiding over
the whole, appeared the magisterial form of Dr. Allen. Around
the large oval table within the bar, were seated the trustees ; while
the students, arranged in their diflPerent classes, occupied the seats
around the outer circle. An incident which occurred on the first
day, may serve to illustrate the prompt and vigorous way in which
authority was enforced by Dr. Allen. A boy, in an algebra class
then under examination, was observed by the doctor from his ele-
vated seat, to be secretly referring to a book. The doctor, calling
the ofiender by name in a stern voice, ordered him to bring him the
book. The boy hesitated, and at length said that he could not.
Instantly springing to his feet, and striking his walking cane with
emphasis across the desk before him, the doctor, in a tone that
struck terror to the hearts of the other boys, summarily declared
the recusant suspended from the institution. At a subsequent day,
the boy appeared before the trustees and stated, by way of apology,
that he had made a solemn promise to another boy from whom he ob-
tained the book, that he would not part with it; but this was thought
by the trustees to be rather an aggravation of the oifence, and he
was not allowed to return to the Academy.
At the same examination, three of the oldest students were reported
to the trustees for habitual idleness and insubordination during the
previous term. It was resolved that they should be ae'!monished.
Accordingly, on the morning of the day for the public distribution
of the premiums, they were brought before the assembled trustees

and faculty, and a stern reproof and admonition were delivered to
them by Chancellor Lansing. It need hardly be said that these
solemn and awful modes of procedure were reserved for offences of
a grave character, and did not in the least interfere with the most
active and liberal administration of current discipline, according to
the ancient and approved fashion. The views of the trustees on
this point may be inferred from the fact, that on one occasion, when
some misconduct on the part of some of the students was brought
to their attention, they adopted a resolution, inquiring why the
usual and proper chastisement had been omitted. It is due, how-
ever, to the professors to say, that they were rarely, if ever, justly
chargeable with any neglect of duty in this respect. Dr. Shaw was
a disciple of the old Scottish school, that never spared the rod.
O'Shaunessy did full justice to his national training; and Dr. Beck,
although always kind-hearted, and much more considerate and judi-
cious than some of his associates, distributed his favors with unstinted
liberality. Happily, this system has in a great measure passed
away; and with no prejudice, it is believed, either to good conduct
or good scholarship.
At the opening of the second academic year in September, 1816,
it was found necessary to have an assistant teacher in the classical
department; and the Ilev. Isaac Ferris (now the distinguished
chancellor of the New York university), was appointed as classical
tutor, and assistant to Dr. Shaw.
During the years 1816 and 1817, the prosperity of the Academy
became much impaired by the financial embarrassment of the
country, growing out of the termination of the war. The number
of students fell off, the city became unable to contribute to the
salary of the classical professor, or even to pay the interest on the
bond, and this led to the necessity of a reduction of salaries, and
a genei'al change in the })laii of the whole establishment. Dissatis-
faction arising from this change led, at the close of the academic
year in 1817, to the resignation of Dr. Allen, whose place was at
once filled by the appointment, on the 14th of August, 1817, of
Dr. Beck, who had then only just coiiipleted his twenty-sixth year.
The result has shown, that a better appointment could not have been
made, and has well justified the sagacity and sound judgment of
the eminent men who then composed the board. lie was already

generally regfirded as a young man of unusual attainments, and of
high mark and promise; and his special qualifications for this place
had become "well known to the trustees, by the zeal, energy and
judgment with which he had labored during the previous two years
in the organization and management of the aifairs of the Academy.
In September, 1817, the Academy was reopened under his charge,
in the new building, which had been so far finished as to admit of
occupation. Dr. Shaw still retained the professorship of languages,
at a greatly reduced salary; and Prof. O'Shaunessy was also called
first as tutor, and afterwards as professor of mathematics and natural
philosophy. From this time, the Academy has ever maintained its
rank as one of the best classical and mathematical schools in this
country. Those who have had the advantage of the instructions of
Dr. Shaw, and his successors in the classical department, need not
be told that there was a critical accuracy in the elementary teaching
and drilling rarely found in our American schools. The grammar,
by constant daily repetition in all classes, from the highest to the
lowest, was wrought into the very texture of a boy's mind, and
made as familiar as his alphabet. Few academies or colleges in this
country afi"orded so extensive a course of reading in the Latin and
Greek classics, as was regularly pursued by the classes under Dr.
Shaw. Nothing was neglected which could contribute to give a
mastery over the language; thorough parsing — scanning — written
translations from one language into the other — exercises in the
rules of prosody — all were rigidly exacted. A false quantity struck
every ear like a discord, and was an offence which was never suf-
fered to pass unnoticed, and brought down swift vengeance upon
the offender. Nor was this all. As the student advanced to the
higher forms, his attention was directed to the noble thoughts and
the felicities of expression of those grand old writers, whose works
have become the models on which the intellectual tastes of the young
have been formed in all succeeding ages. Long may it be so.
What though it be, that in after years, amid the absorbing duties of
life, this knowledge, so laboriously acquired, may seem to have
passed away, or, at all events, to be of little practical use, yet, what-
ever else maybe lost, the mental discipline thus acquired — the
subtle power of analysis — the culture of the taste — the breadth
of intellectual vision and sympathy — the youthful impressions of
22 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
ancient and heroic times — the music which lingers like an echo
around some fine old classic phrase — the elevating sense of our
brotherhood and community with educated men all over the world
in this our common inheritance — are never lost, but abide with us,
and impart grace and dignity to the whole intellectual life.
The death of Dr. Shaw in August, 1824, deprived the Academy
of a teacher who had established for it a deservedly high character
for classical instruction. This character was well sustained by his
successor, the Rev. Dr. Peter Bullions, who, after a short interval,
during which the place was temporarily supplied by the Rev. Dr.
Alexander Bullions, was appointed to the vacant classical profes-
sorship, which he filled with distinguished learning and ability for.
the next twenty-four years. He brought originally to the place
excellent qualifications as a classical scholar ; but his knowledge was
greatly enlarged, and his skill as a teacher improved, by his long
course of subsequent study and experience. His series of admirable
grammars and school books, prepared while he held his professorship
in the Academy, made him, and the institution with which he was
connected, widely and favorably known, and added much to his
success and reputation as a teacher. All who ever had the advantage
of his instructions, will bear witness to the thoroughness, exactness
and completeness which characterized them.
Nor were the mathematical and scientific departments of the
Academy during the same period, less successfully maintained than
the classical. There was, at the time of the establishment of the
Academy, a great want in this country of the means of proper scien-
tific instruction, especially in those branches applicable to the useful
arts and to the public works and improvements, which were engaging
the attention of our people. To supply this want, was one of the
leading objects of the Academy; and it has never failed to have
men of distinguished ability in charge of this department. The
names of Beck, O'Shaunessy. Henry, Ten Eyck, and Cook, attest
the character of its scientific instruction.
But the influence of the Academy upon the interests of science,
has by no means been limited to its direct teachings. Placed here,
at the seat of government of this great state, and in the charge of
men whose personal and scientific character commanded unusual
confidence, it has been from the beginning, a centre of wide and
HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 23
salutary influence, giving impulse and direction to almost every
important scientific enterprise in the state. It is impossible to speak
of this subject without speaking of Dr. Beck, whose labors and
influence have become part of the history, both of the Academy and
of the state. Soon after his appointment, he instituted in the
Academy, under the sanction of the trustees, an annual course of
lectures on chemistry, which excited at the time great public interest,
and were largely attended by our citizens as well as by the students.
He also established at the Academy a system of regular meteor-
ological observations, which were regularly published, and which,
through his eff"orts with the board of Regents, expanded itself into
a system which now brings its regular annual returns from every
academy in the state. In the laboratory of the Academy were con-
ducted the investigations directed by the state, in regard to our salt
springs and the manufacture of salt, which, at a former day, con-
tributed so much to the benefit of that branch of our state resources.
To no one did the great scientific work of the geological survey
of this state owe more than to Dr. Beck, who in every way, by his
knowledge, his labors, and his influence with the authorities of the
state, contributed to its successful accomplishment. Within the
walls of the Academy, under his watchful eye, the admirable scien-
tific library and collections of the Albany Institute grew to their
present magnitude. The State library, now the pride of the state,
and one of the noblest collections of this country, may be said
almost to have been the work of his forming hand. It was with
him ever a most cherished object, and one for which he was pecu-
liarly qualified, not only by his lifelong devotion to science and
literature, but by his almost unequalled knowledge of whatever
pertained to books. But with all this, there was ever the most
faithful, and vigilant attention to the daily work of the Academy in
all its departments. No detail of duty was ever neglected. His
capacity for labor, and his systematic and untiring industry, have
rarely if ever been surpassed. The written records of the Academy,
of the Institute, of the board of Regents, and of all the literary
and scientific bodies with which he was connected, bear witness to
an amount of patient labor, which would seem to have been beyond
the power of any man to accomplish. Amid all these multiplied
labors, he never lost sight of his favorite study of medical jurispru-

dence. Commencing his researclies in it at the outset of his profes-
sional life, he made it for many years the subject of an annual course
of lectures at the Fairfield medical college ; and at length produced
his great work on the subject, which has given him a world-wide
reputation, and has placed him in the first rank of medical writers.
In 1848, finding that the Academy demanded, on the part of its
principal, more time and care than his strength and his increasing
duties, as secretary of the board of Kegents, would enable him to
give to it, he, to the regret of the trustees, resigned the post which
he had so honorably and faithfully filled for nearly a third of a
century. He still, however, retained his seat in the board of trus-
tees, by whom he was immediately elected their president. Mr.
Stevenson, who had long held that office, insisting upon resigning it
in his favor ; and he continued to preside over the board until the
time of his death, which occurred on the 10th day of November, 1856.
We need not wonder that such a man should have left the impress
of his character upon the successive generations of boys, that for
more than thirty years passed under his charge. The man is
always far more important than what he teaches. It was not simply
his well known attainments and his high reputation that gave him
his influence, although these no doubt served to inspire additional
respect; but he was a man of high feeling and principle — a gen-
tleman, not less by his nature, than by descent, by education, and by all
the associations of his life. Boys are ever keen judges of character ;
and it was their intuitive recognition of his thorough manliness, his
kind-heartedness, his love of fun, his scorn of meanness, his quick
sympathy with whatever was honorable and generous and true, that
gave him his wonderful power fur good over them. Well and faith-
fully did he do his part in life ; and his clear and honored name will
live lung in the record of his varied and useful labors, and in
the hearts of the thousands who have been trained up under his
teachings.
Before leaving the subject of the contributions, whicli the Academy
and those connected with it have made to the general cause of
science and the arts, it is especially fitting that we should call to
mind one, that in its results and practical application has given us
the most important invention uf the age — the electro-magnetic
telegra])li. On the resignation uf Ti'dfessur O'Shaunessy in 182G,
HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 25
Professor Joseph Henry (now the distinguished secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, and who had formerly been a student in
the Academy), was called to the chair of mathematics and natural
philosophy. In 1828, in the course of his own studies in connection
with his duties as professor of natural philosophy, he originated
and prosecuted in the laboratory of the Academy, a course of original
investigations and experiments in electro-magnetism, in which he
was assisted by his friend. Dr. Philip Ten Eyck, afterwards his
successor in the same professorship. The subject of electro-mag-
netism had already awakened great interest ; and notwithstanding
the important discoveries of Oersted, Arago, and Davy, and the still
more important one of Ampere, the state of the science was such
previous to Prof. Henry's discoveries, that not only were the means
of developing magnetism in soft iron imperfectly understood, but
the electro-magnet, as it then existed, was inapplicable to the trans-
mission of power to a great distance. The discovery of Professor
Henry showed how a far greater magnetic power than had previ-
ously been produced might be developed, and also, how the
resistance to the transmission of that power, and to its application
at a great distance, might be successfully overcome. His experi-
ments first established the facts : that, in order to furnish the
projectile force necessary to transmit the power through a long
circuit, so as to produce mechanical effects at a great distance, a gal-
vanic battery, of many pairs of plates, designated as " an intensity
battery," should be employed, and that the magnet connected with
it should be wound with one long wire with many turns ; and that
a bar of iron might be thus magnetized at a great distance from the
operator. He also clearly pointed out the application of these facts
to the transmission of signals. This laid the foundation for the
practicability of the magnetic telegraph. The older students of the
Academy in the years 1830, 1831 and 1832, and others who wit-
nessed his experiments, which at that time excited so much interest
in this cit}', will remember the long coils of wire which ran, circuit
upon circuit, for more than a mile in length, around one of the
upper rooms in the Academy, for the purpose of illustrating the
fact, that a galvanic current could be transmitted through its whole
length, so as to excite a magnet at the farther end of the line, and
thus move a steel bar which struck a bell. This, in a scientific
4

point of view, was the demonstration and accomplishment of all
that was required for the magnetic telegraph. The science of the
telegraph was here complete. It needed only the inventive genius
of Morge to supply the admirable instrument, which was to make
it available for practical use. It was not for the man of science, to
leave the path of original scientific investigation, to devise the
instrument which was to apply his discoveries to the practical pur-
poses of life. Morse had already been long engaged in his inventive
work, but had been always baffled by the difficulty which he found
of transmitting the power to a distance, when the discovery of
Henry, being communicated to him by his assistant. Dr. Gale, ena-
bled him at once to perfect his great invention. All honor to the
inventor ; but let us not forget, that the click of the telegraph,
which is heard from every joint of those mystic wires which now
link together every city, and village, and post, and camp, and sta-
tion, all over this continent, is but the echo of that little bell which
first sounded in that upper room of the Academy. These facts are
a part of the history of the Academy ; and it is fitting that, on an
occasion like this, so important a discovery, made by one of her
own sons, in her own service, and under her own roof, should not
be passed over in silence.
In 1832 Professor Henry, having been called to the chair of
mathematics and natural philosophy in Princeton college, resigned
his professorship in the Academy, and was succeeded by Dr. Philip
Ten Eyck, who brought to the place rare attainments, and a high
reputation as a mathematician and man of science. He held this
professorship, fulfilling its duties with ability and faithfulness, until
the reorganization of the Academy in 1848, when he resigned.
At this time, an important change took place in the organization
of the Academy. It was found, that for several years past the
institution had been falling off in the number of its students, and
consequently in its income. It had been injuriously affected by the
establishment throughout our city of district schools, and the im-
proved character of the instruction afforded by them, as compared
with the ])ublic schools of an earlier day. This withdrew from the
Academy many of the pupils who had formerly resorted to it, for
the purpose of obtaining a good English education. These circum-
stances induced the trustees, after the retirement of Dr. Beck, Dr.
HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 27
Bullions, and Dr. Ten Eyck, in 1848, to reorganize the whole
system, with a view to its better adaptation to the changed circum-
stances and wants of the time.
The Kev. Dr. VVilliam H. Campbell, now the president of Rutgers
college, was appointed principal ; and, in connection with that office,
also discharged the duties of professor of the Greek and Latin
languages. He was eminently qualified for these duties by his fine
classical scholarship, and his general literary tastes and acquirements ;
and the reputation of the Academy was fully sustained during the
three years that he remained at its head. In 1851, he accepted a
professorship in the theological seminary at New Brunswick ; and
Professor George II. Cook, who had filled the chair of mathematics
and natural philosophy since the resignation of Dr. Ten Eyck in
1848, was appointed principal in his stead. In addition to his
duties as" principal, Professor Cook continued to discharge the duties
of the mathematical professorship ; and the institution was highly
prosperous under his management. In 1853, he accepted the pro-
fessorship of chemistry and the natural sciences in Rutgers college ;
and the Rev. Wm. A. Miller, who had been appointed to the profes-
sorship of the ancient languages on the resignation of Dr. Campbell,
was appointed principal, and discharged its duties with ability and
success until 1856, when he resigned, and Professor David Murray,
the present principal, was appointed in his stead. In closing this
review of the distinguished men who have been instructors in the
Academy, we should not omit to mention the name of Professor
Julian Molinard, who for twenty years held the professorship of
modern languages. He had been early in life an officer in the
French army. He was a man of high and generous spirit, a most
exact and faithful teacher, critically versed in the structure and
niceties of his own language, and in the comparative peculiarities of
our own. He resigned his place in the Academy in 1859, and died
in the service of the government of the United States in 1862.
Delicacy forbids that we should speak of those now in charge of
the institution; but it maybe allowable to say, that its present con-
dition and prospects are not unworthy of its reputation in the past.
It remains for us yet to mention those to whom the Academy has
been indebted for the establishment of scholarships and honorary
medals.
28 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
The late Henry W. Dclavuu died in 1836. By his will, he be-
queathed to the Academy the sum of two thousand dollars, to be
deposited in the savings bank as a permanent fund, the income of
which was to be applied to the teaching of such a number of poor
boys in the Albany Academy, in the useful branches of English
education, as such income would allow. No boy to enjoy the benefit
of such fund for more than two years. At all times since the
foundation of this noble charity, five boys have been educated iu
the Academy, in accordance with the terms of the bequest, out of
the income of the fund.
In 1831, the late Wm. Caldwell, Esq., of this city, gave to the
Academy the sum of one hundred dollars, the intercs^t of which was
to be applied to procuring a premium, to be annually bestowed on
the best scholar in mathematics and natural philosophy in the
Academy. Such scholar to be of at ler.st four jears standing. A
gold medal, designated as The Caldwell Mathematical Medal, has
ever since been annually given as directed by the founder.
In 1837 the late Stephen Van Rensselaer, Esq., gave to the
Academy the like sum of one hundred dollars, on condition that the
income thereof should be annually appropriated to the purchase of
a gold medal, to be given at every annual examination to the best
scholar in the Latin and Greek languages. Such scholar to be of
at least four years' standing in the Academy, and the medal not to be
twice bestowed on the same individual. This medal has been ever
since annually given, and is known as The Van liensselaer Classical
Medal.
In 1854 Thomas W. Olcott, Esq., gave a fund to provide a gold
medal, to be designated as The Beck Literary Medal, in honor
ol Dr. T. Ilomeyn Beck, to be given each year to the student of
four years' standing in the Academy, and well approved for scholar-
ship and conduct, who shall present the best English composition.
The same individual to receive it but once.
In the same year the late Dr. P. Gannon, of this city, gave by his
will the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars as a fund for a medal,
to be given each year to the student of three years' standing in the
Academy who shall have made the greatest proficiency in mathe-
matics and natural philosophy. This medal to be given but once
to the same person.
HISTORICAL DISCOURSE. 29
The Principal has also for a number of years past, given two
prizes for English composition, which are open to competition
among all the students.
These medals and prizes have proved powerful and salutary in-
centives to exertion, and are regarded by the students as badges of
the highest academical distinction.
Standing, as we do to-day, at the close of the first half century of
the Academy's existence, its sons may look back upon its past history
with pride and with gratitude; with pride, in the great men who
have presided over it, in the well trained pupils whom it has sent
forth, in the wide and salutary influence it has exerted j and with
gratitude, for their share in its inestimable benefits. Sound learning-
has here ever found a cherished home ; faithful guardians have ever
watched over it; true-hearted, devoted men, deeply learned, have
given the best of their lives to its service. Generation after genera-
tion of the youth and hope of our city have here been trained in
those habits, and taught those lessons, which have prepared them
for the duties and responsibilities of life. Well and faithfully has
the Academy done its part. How well and how nobly some of the
pupils have done theirs, we all know, though we may not yet say.
But we may say, that no where, more than in this institution, have the
interests and dignity of true learning been more carefully preserved
and respected. No false guides have ever been sufi"ered within its
honored precincts. Shams and charlatanism, devices for temporary
efi"ect, schemes to win knowledge without labor, and to give igno-
rance the semblance of learning, have had no place in its system.
The men who were in charge of it were too wise, and too learned,
and too honest, for that. With no blind adherence to the past —
nay, with a ready and joyful recognition of any new measure which
commended itself to a sound and enlightened judgment — it has in
the main, stood " super anfiquas vias ;" it has kept to the well-tried
ancient ways. It has sought no royal road ; or rather, we should
say, the only true and royal road, by which any solid and lasting
attainments are, or ever have been, or ever will be reached — the
road of patient and well directed labor.
30 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
Ernest J. Miller, Esq., President of tlie Alpha Sigma Society,
made the following report concerning the monument to Dr. The-
ODRIC KOMEYN BeCK.
REPORT.
The work of erecting a suitable memorial to Dr. T. Romeyn Beck,
was committed to the Alpha Sigma Society by a resolution passed at
a meeting of a committee of the Alumni and Trustees of the Albany
Academy, held April Sth, 18G3. The society willingly undertook
the work, deeming it an honor to be the instruments of commemo-
rating the virtues of one so dear to all of us, but with a full know-
ledge of the labor required at its hands, and in this last respect we
have not been disappointed.
The catalogue of the Academy from, the year 1815 down to and
including the year 1862, contains 4,275 names ; of these we have
ascertained that 428 are dead, and learned the residences of 1,175.
All the old students living in Albany, have been notified of the
project ; and many notices have been sent to those residing abroad ;
and our labor is not half completed. In consequence of so 'much
time being consumed in ascertaining the above facts, we were not
able to commence circulating the subscription books until about
three weeks since, and the sum of $1,725 has already been sub-
scribed ; and we shall use every exertion to swell the amount to at
least ^3,500. We can not at this time report a suitable plan for
the memorial, because sufficient funds have not yet been raised, to
warrant our fixing upon any plan ; but we are determined to erect as
handsome a monument as we can pay for ; and as you no doubt agree
with us in this, you must see that the beauty of the testimonial
remains entirely with yourselves.
Every Alumnus to whom application was made, with one or two
exceptions — responded nobly and willingly ; and while some paid
heartfelt tributes to Dr. Beck's many virtues and acquirements, his
striking peculiarities were remembered by all.
And now gentlemen of the Alumni, we have reported to you what
we have done ; and we now ask you what are you going to do ?
Dr. Beck and the Albany Academy are inseparable and indisso-
lubly connected. No one can think of that old freestone building.
PROCEEDINGS. 31
whither the tribes went up daily, and where the discipline was moral
suasion and stick united in such excellent proportions, that while all
we felt at the time was the stick, the moral suasion has governed
our lives ever since, without also calling to mind the pleasant counte-
nance of him, who for more than thirty years was its principal.
The positions of honor which so many of you occupy, are due to his
teaching and counsel ; the success in life which has attended so
many of you, is but the building erected by you on the foundations
he laid ; and while you honor him by this testimonial in the only
way in your power, you still owe him a greater debt than you can
pay. This close connexion between the Academy and Dr. Beck,
leads us too frequently to consider him only as a teacher ; and to
picture his life as passed in making the hill of science of easy ascent
to unwilling feet; in answering stupid questions put by stupid boys;
and in endeavoring to excite the brain to healthy action by pro-
ducing a counter irritation on some other part of the body ; and
then at his death to be " wafted to bliss by little cherub boys all
heads and wings, with no backs to reproach his sublunary infirmi-
ties."
But great and useful as the teacher's calling is, Dr. Beck was
much more than all this. Acknowledged at home as a leader in his
peculiar branch of science, his fame spread abroad, and the scientific
men of other countries sought to honor him ; and laurels obtained at
home were entwined on his brow with laurels obtained abroad.
Wherever science is known the name of Dr. Beck is known ; and
gentlemen of the Alumni, this is the man at whose feet you were
taught.
You owe it to the city of Albany that the memory of one of its
citizens so esteemed abroad, should never be forgotten at home, and
that there should be some lasting tribute to his worth, to keep his
memory green.
You owe it to the cause of science throughout the world, that
one of its most distinguished followers should receive at your hands
some token of your appreciation of his great genius.
You owe it to the Albany Academy — who, if she had forgotten
how old she really was, would be constrained to take her place
among the educational grandmothers, as she sees how many " old
32 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
fellows ai*e mixed in with the boys" — you owe it to her, that her
principal of over thirty years standing, should be substantially re-
membered, by her four thousand children and grand children.
You owe it to this society, who acts as your agent, that you should
assist and aid it by every means in your power ; and not request it
to work for you, and then withhold the means for making that work
effective.
And more than all you owe it to yourselves, that you should fully
carry out the resolutions you have passed ; that you should erect
some testimonial worthy of the man, the old Academy and your-
selves ; and should show that you have a proper appreciation of his
great talents and genius, of his virtues and wonderful modesty, of
his useful instructions and wise counsels. Gentlemen, we do not
stand before you as beggars. This is your own work ; we are only
endeavoring to persuade you to do it well. We will not make
bricks without straw : but if you are willing to furnish the straw,
we will willingly go around and gather it. From what we know of
our Treasurer, we are ready to affirm that he can not be wearied in
signing his name to receipts for money to the Beck monument fund;
and if any of you doubt this statement we wish you would try him.
Let not this resolution passed by you almost eight years ago re-
main longer unfulfilled. Do not abandon the position you then
occupied ; but let this city contain a memorial to show through all
time the lasting affection of pupils to so beloved a teacher.
At successive periods the exercises were diversified by the music
of Home, Siveet Home, of Rest, Sjiirit, Rest, and of other appro-
priate harmonies.
The following Commemorative Oration was then pronounced by
the Honorable Alexander W. Bradford, LL. D., of New York,
a former student of the Academy.
COMMEMORATIVE ADDRESS.
Mr. President^ Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees, Gentlemen of
the Faculty, Alumni and Students of the Academy, Ladies and
Gentlemen of Albany :
You have called me to my birth-place, the home of my childhood
and my education, the land where my ancestors lived and died,
through many generations — and I appear at your summons. It is
with a heart full to overflowing.
Breathes there a man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said
This is my own, my native land !
In this presence of the beautiful, the refined and cultivated, the
learned and renowned, I feel that I have great need for some of
that inspiration which the ancient poets invoked, at the opening of
their verse, from the Divine Muse — for, of myself, I am wholly un-
able to give utterance to the crowding thoughts and emotions, the
remembrances, the pleasures and pains, the visions of the past, which
this occasion creates or recalls.
After revolving years, the time has arrived to note a memorable
Epoch in the history of this institution — when we can look back
upon the days which are gone, and forward into the days which are
to come, and from the survey, gather and apply the maxims and
wisdom of experience. An Anniversary is a well-spring of joys and
sorrows, regrets and hopes, gushing all out together over the soul —
a fountain, now as it were of tears, and again irradiated in the sun-
shine with all the colors and tints of the rainbow of promise. It
joins hand to hand, the living and the dead; and tenderly embraces

us — with them — in its circle of revolution. Like Janus, with its
key it unlocks the door of the past, and with its staff it points to
the journey of the future. JBi/rons, with two visions, it looks both
ways through all eternity, and thus fills time with its gaze.
As members of the same family whose youth for fifty years have
dwelt together in the same mansion of learning, and drank at the
same springs of knowledge; as fathers and mothers, brothers and
sisters, we all have the most touching associations clustering around
the Academy, and imparting a deep interest to the present moment.
Fifty years cut no deep furrow in the brow of time — a thousand
years are but as yesterday — as a watch in the night. But the race
of men is like the race of leaves, says Homer, and fifty years make
a broad sweep in the ingathering of the harvest of humanity. They
cover two generations, with the spring of birth, the life of summer,
the autumn of decline, and the winter of death. Retiring from the
bustle, noise and din of the active struggles of life, let us quietly
meditate together, upon the grave themes suggested by this lapse of
time, and its Commemoration.
There is no place on the continent, which for so long a period,
preserved so many features of historic interest, as Albany. Permit
me to glance briefly at some points of its history.
Upon the lowlands which skirt the borders of the North sea, and
on the neck of the Cimbric Chersonesus, there lived in the days of
Caesar and Tacitus, a race of men called Teots, Teutons, the ancestors
of the Dutch. The Angles and Saxons, and the Teutons, were of
the same stock, and spoke the same tongue. The former, about the
middle of the fifth century, invaded England, and were the progeni-
tors of that great nation which has given laws, language, civil and
religious liberty, to a vast portion of the world. The latter remained
at home, and in process of time vindicated the rights of man, and
liberty of conscience, in a terrible struggle of arms, and baptism of
blood. This sturdy race of freemen, thus divided, in England and
in Holland, became the witness and the keeper of the truth, in regard
to the rights of man and the principles of civil and constitutional
freedom ; and at the present day, wherever their descendants can be
traced, we find prevailing a profound sense of the dignity of humanity,
the high behests of religion, and the just supremacy of law and
order. The two branches were united in a remarkable manner, in

the discovery and settlement of New York. Hudson was an Eng-
lishman in the service of the Dutch. The crew of his ship consisted
of English and Dutch. Soon after the foundation of the colony,
English traders appeared and established themselves j and ultimately,
on the conquest of the provincfe by the English in 1664, the basis
was laid for a more complete mingling of the two races, thus united
together after a separation of 1200 years. They were both cold and
reserved ; both hardy, bold and stubborn ; but the outward shell
covered, as the ice-bound Hecla, hidden fires and energies, which,
when aroused, led to adventurous voyages, perilous explorations,
settlements in the remote wilderness, confronting of savages, priva-
tions, toils and sufferings, exploits and heroic deeds, on land and sea !
A great and mighty race, this Teutonic 1 Nothing daunted by
arctic ice or torrid sun, sandy desert or rugged mountain, it traverses
the ocean from pole to pole, and girts the earth with its spreading
power.
In the year of our Lord 1609, Henry Hudson, in the good yacht
Half-Moon, of forty lasts or eighty tons burden, with a crew of twenty
sailors, came groping along our coast, from Hudson's Bay to the
Chesapeake, in search of a passage to those oriental regions whose
treasures of costly fabrics, spices, gold and precious stones, dazzled
the visions of the early mariners, with glittering hopes of fabulous
riches. In the month of September, he ascended the river which
bears his name, until ho found it no further navigable. On the
19th, having sent out a boat to explore the stream, which proceeded
as far as the town of Half-Moon, named after his ship, he himself
anchored at Albany. He records that the Indians " came aboard,
and brought tobacco and beads, and made an oration, and shewed
him all the country round about.'"' And he found it a goodly country,
fair and pleasant to the eye. There were, to use his very language,
" goodly oakes and walnut trees, chestnut trees, yew trees, and trees of
sweet wood in great abundance, and great store of slate for houses,
and other good stones." The people were " very loving." They
flocked around him with friendly gifts of rich furs and robes of
martin, mink, otter, beaver and sable. Food abounded in plentous-
ness; fish, oysters, Indian corn, pumpkins, grapes, venison, turkeys,
partridges — pipes and tobacco, which, I suppose, maybe considered
food by a Dutchman. Yonder plains and heights, excepting here
36 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
and there a field, were then covered -with the primitive trees of the
forest, down to the edge of the gently gliding river, fringed with
the drooping willow that laved its clear waters. By the little brooks
we have so often forded in our childhood, nestled Indian huts, with
wife and child, and modest maiden and lordly hunter. All Nature
smiled and beamed in loveliness and beauty. It was an exquisite
scene of Arcadian peace and felicity, inviting with extended arms to
repose and serene happiness. And here came a little flock, of sim-
ple liabits, who were minded to get away from the dismal fens and
crowded cities of Holland. And when their report went home, that
" our people are in good heart, and live in peace there — the women
have also borne some children there — they had all their grain
sowed by the middle of May and reaped by the middle of August,"
the news spread widely, and crowds up&n crowds came to the ships
eager to find a passage to the Happy Valley. And thus was founded
Albany, by a peace-loving, liberty-loving, Grod-loving people. They
built a fort — they traded with the Indians — they breasted, in their
canoes, the rifts of the Hudson and the Mohawk — they penetrated
the depths of the forest — they gathered stores of furs, and sent
deeply laden ships to Holland and to China, returning with double
value in all manner of wealth. With peculiar faculty for concilia-
tion, they had lived, with the exception of a brief period in 1641,
in amity with the neighboring tribes, and they were never disturbed
by hostile incursions, until the ambition and cupidity of the French
in Canada broke the repose of nearly a century. From that
time until the close of the Revolution, Albany was a frontier fortress :
and its traditions of Indian councils, of wars, ambuscades, massacres,
the tomahawk and scalping knife, the midnight torch, the going
into captivity, running the gauntlet, and the burning at the stake,
the great armies, and their notable generals, exceeded in stirring
interest and pathos the romance of the artificial tragedy. They
were in many respects truly Homeric.
Nor had the city lost traces of its early character, in 1813, when
the Academy was founded. At that period it retained much
of its primitive appearance, and the people their ancient manners
and habits. The quaint old Dutch gables surmounted with weather-
cocks, had not disappeared. The split doors, over the lower half of
which the tidy, handsome matron leaned, watching for the return of

her husband ; the window seat where the tender-eyed maiden
glanced out upon the passers-by, expecting by no means to see her
lover; the stoop with its two benches, where by day the ^)a<er
smoked his pipe, and where by night the fires of love were kindled,
with more heat and less smoke — all these yet lingered, in my day.
Of a warm summer's evening, the whole population swarmed into
the streets and on the stoops. You could hear the earnest talk —
the sweet song — the merry laugh. The stars or moon beamed
down upon the happy scene — while the aged recounted thrilling
stories of the past, and the young murmured to each other of the
happy future — until nine o'clock, and suppaan summoned the house-
hold to more substantial repasts, and to early sleep.
The manners of the elders were staid and grave, " more decorous
than enthusiastic." Revolutionary heroes yet mingled among them,
and even veterans of two wars, who had battled against Montcalm,
and sat in council with Sir William Johnson and the stout old Indian
Chief Hendrik at Mohawk Castle. There were narratives of
breathless interest, of wondrous hair-breadth escapes and ventures, of
Cherry Valley, Brandt and Butler, of Fort William Henry, of the
Bloody Pond, of Saratoga, and Stanwis. There were men who had
fought with Abercrombie and Lord Howe, with Lafayette and
Schuyler. The speaker himself has sat at the feet of a venerable
woman, born in 1732, the same year with Washington, and who lived
until 1832, and listened to traditionary tales of the burning of Schenec-
tady, and the midnight fugitives escaping from the knife of the savage to
perish in the deep snows ! These things necessarily impressed upon
the people a depth and gravity of character for generations, and withal
made them reserved and cautious. Says a French traveler, Liancourt,
" 1 almost incline to think that young persons here, arc born old ! "
He adds, " Hospitality to strangers seems not to be a prominent
feature. The few with whom we got acquainted looked extremely
dull and melancholy. They lived retired in their houses with their
wives, who sometimes are pretty, but rather awkward in their man-
ners, and with whom their husbands scarcely exchange thirty words
a day, although they never address them but with the introductory
appellation of ' my dear ! ' " He winds up, " The Albanians, to
speak generally, are a set of people remarkable neither for activity
nor politeness. They are the most disagreeable beings I have
. 4C4.5GC;

hitherto met with in the United States ! " Maude, another French-
man, seems to have been impressed in a like manner. He says :
" The soil of America appears not to have any influence upon the
character they brought with them from Holland. They arc still, to
the tenth and twentieth generation, Dutch in person, dress, mind
and manners." This gentleman had, however, some reason for
being out of humor, for he relates that on crossing the Hudson at
Greenbush the Dutch ferryman asked him for his fare as a foot
passenger. "How so?" "Because you got out of the wagon.
Had you remained in it, I must have been obliged to consider you
part of the load ! "
But what should we expect of these pioneer traders — these
merchant warriors ? At home they never slept in safety, except in
their stockade, and under the guns of the fort. At night the rattel-
watch went their rounds, and cried at each hour whether all was
well. They carried weapons with them to the house of God, and
even there they had a care to construct the windows so high as to
avoid an escalade, or a musket ball. When the father was far away
among the Indians, the mother conducted his business, and had the
management of aflFairs. Husband and wife never separated without
an anxious foreboding. Whether tilling the field, or in his canoe
or batteau traversing the Mohawk, Oneida lake, the Oswego, Ontario,
St. Clair and Huron, to trade at Mackinac, it was all the same —
he carried his life in his hand. He was ever moving among secret
and treacherous foes, and the constant sense of peril made him
solemn, taciturn and sententious. And when, after fatigues and
dangers, he returned to his home, he had a right to sit under his
own gable, be disagreeable to fussy Frenchmen and inquisitivo
stranger?, smoke his pipe in peace, clasp his children to his bosom,
and call his wife " my dear."
In 1813, Albany was still " a jewel of antiquity; " "all was an-
tique, clean and quiet." Below the Watering place, and above the
Patroon's creek, and on the island where we used to bathe, willows
and elms skirted the margin of the river. A short walk, barely a
few steps, and you were at Tivoli, or Buttermilk falls. On the
opposite side, the Giant's grave towered to the skies covered with
ancient trees.
The twilight stroll was to the Willow walk, to the Hay scales, or
COMMEMORATIVE ADDRESS. 39
to the North gate — the Fishing ground, at the dam, or the creek
now spanned by the rail road bridges — the literary culture, at the
Apprentices' library, the Albany library, or John Cook's reading
room, a man noted for keeping Congress water, and for loud sneezing.
The Websters & Skinners, beneath the spot where I am now speak-
ing, and under the shade of that grand and venerable Elm, were
diffusing knowledge through the printing press ; and though there
was no Joel Munsell in that day to honor his profession with beautiful
typography, and elegant and costly illustrations of his noble art, the
Websters were faithful in their calling, and in an humble way were
the Caxtons of Albany.
In that day, as I suppose in this, the splendid slope of the Capito-
line hill, in the frosts of winter, afforded a magnificent opportunity
for what is now vulgarily called coasting — an expression probably
derived from indulgence in the practice only when the coast is clear
of constables. Riding down hill as we termed it, was the amuse-
ment of both sexes — for there was no crinoline; nor were the
vehicles in the slightest degree aristocratic. A brick, or a board, a
pair of skates, or a tin pan, went Jiaud inequis passibus, with the
dignified and luxurious sled. That we all came rightly by this
sinful practice, appears from the records of the mayor, aldermen and
commonalty of the city of Albany, in the year 1713, just about one
hundred and fifty years ago, in cold weather, probably after a snow
storm, in anticipation of Christmas ;
" Whereas y^ children in the said city, do very unorderly, to ye
shame and scandell of their parents, ryde down ye Hilla in ye streets,
of the said city, with small and great slees, on the Lord-day, and in
the week, by which many accidents may come — Now for preventing
y<" same, it is hereby published and declared, that it shall and may
be lawful for any constable within this city, or any other person or
persons, to take any slee or slees, from all and every such boys or
girls, rydeing or offering to ryde down any hill, within ye said city
and brake such slee or slees, in peeces !
" Given under our hands and seals in Albany, the 22d of Decem-
ber, in ye 12th year of her Majesty's Reign, Anno Domini, 1713."
Giving due weight to this solemn state paper, I very much doubt
whether her majesty's subjects received any adequate protection from
this threatening and formidable ordinance. Certainly in the early
40 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
days of the Academy, the constable was part and parcel of the per-
formance, the spice and condiment of the entertainment. The lad
who was taken up by John Meigs, the high constable, attained the
pinnacle of glory.
When the Academy was founded, the city bad ten thousand inha-
bitants. It had ten clergymen, twenty doctors, and forty lawyers —
a proportion which might seem to imply that one clergyman in those
times was fully equal to two doctors and four lawyers. The streets were
quiet, grave and still — carriages or wagons, by an old ordinance, were
forbidden to be driven faster than a walk or a step, for fear of accidents,
I suppose, to stray children, pigs and cows. I thought to-day as I
was standing in Market street (Broadway), near Maiden lane, I saw
a great long red box, which seemed to be gliding through the air.
I rubbed my eyes to look again — it was gone. I turned to inquire
as to the vision and was told it was a car on a horse rail road.

But what, it may be asked, had been done by this people whose
history I have briefly traced, in the way of instructing the young ?
and the answer is ready. In laying the foundations of this new
commonwealth, Education was not forgotten. It went hand in hand
with the sacred offices of religion. The West India company at an
early period adopted the plan of encouraging emigration by granting
patents of large tracts of land to such persons as would carry out to
the province fifty souls, and provide for their maintenance and com-
fort until well established. The patentees were called Patroons, and
they were vested with feudal rights and powers to an extent that
made them sovereigns over their domains, within the scope, however,
of certain just and reasonable rules and restrictions. These colonists
were required by one of the rules " to find speedy means to maintain
a clergyman and schoolmaster, in order that Divine service and a
zeal for religion may be planted in that country : " and every inha-
bitant was to bear a tax " for the maintenance of clergymen, com-
forters of the sick, schoolmasters, and such like necessary officers."
At an early period, lG48,the local authorities cooperated in this wise
design, and appointed a committee to build a school house, perceiving,
to use their language, " how necessary the schoolmaster is to the
COMMEMORATIVE ADDRESS. 41
cstablislimeut of a well-constituted republic." Andries Jansz was
appointed teacher, and on commencing received a present of $20.
Attention was also paid to the subject of instruction in New York,
In 1652, the Directors wrote : . " We give our consent that one
public school may be established, for which one schoolmaster would
be sufficient." They accordingly appointed Jan de la Montague,
and recommended that the City Tavern be appropriated for that
purpose. They conclude, piously, with this prayer: "The Lord
grant that he may for a good long time exemplify the favorable
testimony which he carried with him from here, to the edification of
the youth."
At this period, probably in consequence of throwing open the fur
trade, which had previously been monopolized, many English settlers
had established themselves in the colony, and we find efforts made
for their instruction. In the same vessel with the schoolmaster
for New York, came the pulpit of the old Dutch church, which is still
preserved, the " bell to adorn their new constructed little church,"
and a clergyman for New York who could preach in Dutch and Eng-
lish — the Rev. Sam' Driess — "able to preach in both languages,
and, if necessity did require it, in French too " — " so we may
expect that he shall be a powerful instrument to proclaim the holy
word of God, to make His glory known, and assist that worthy
old servant, the Rev. Megapolensis."
At the time of the surrender of the province to the English in
1G64, there were schools at Albany and New York, and in the latter
place a Latin school.
In October, 1665, Governor Nichols, led by a prudent sagacity, to
convert Dutchmen into Englishmen, issued an order appointing John
Shutte " to bee the English schoolmaster at Albany," on condition he
should not demand "more wages" than were required by the "Dutch
schoolmasters."
What the wages were does not appear, but they were probably
very moderate. I hope they were better than the wages of lawyers,
for about that time we read that distinguished counsel was retained
by the corporation to appear for them " against all manner of persons
whatsoever" — a very general retainer — for S7.50. What would
the corporation counsel now-a-days say to that! The attorney
6

general was recompensed in a novel manner — lie liad all tlie beer
which was forfeited by unlicensed dealers.
About the same time Jan Jurians Beecker received from Grovernor
Nichols, a " grant to keep y^ Dutch school at Albany for y*^ teaching of
youth, to read and to write ye same." This was confirmed by Gov-
enor Lovelace in 1670, with an order that " no other be permitted to
interrupt him." Beecker is described as being "very capable," and
the order says, " it being to be presumed y^ said Beecker for ye
youth, and Jacob Joosten who is allowed for y^ teaching of y*-' younger
children, are sufficient for that place." So we see that two
hundi'ed years ago two schoolmasters were the fair complement for
all the children in Albany, and that care was taken for teaching
those who were younger than the youth. This was probably a Dutch
infant school.
Subsequently the allowance of schoolmasters passed to the juris-
diction of the common council, for we find in January, 1700, Cor-
nells Bogardus requesting to be admitted a schoolmaster for the city,
and his prayer was unanimously granted at a meeting of the mayor,
aldermen and commonalty. In 1721, Johanuis Glandorf was the
schoolmaster appointed by the common council for " speliug, read-
ing, writeing and cyfFering."
In 1710, the Rev. Thomas Barclay, rector of St. Peter's church,
writing to the Society for the propagation of the gospel, speaks of
frequently visiting the schools and encouraging the schoolmasters.
In 1784, Nicholas Barrington opened a school, " money being
very scarce," he says : " At the low prices of 10, 12 and 14 shilings
per quarter, for spellers, writers and scypherers, and three pounds
for bookeeping and navigation."
What the currency was, he does not indicate. Continental money
might be had by the bushel. There were no greenbacks, and judg-
ing from contemporaneous advertisements in tlic Gazette, the school-
master was probably satisfied to take boards, plank, staves, peas, flax
seed, rum, brass kettles, and any sort of grain, in payment.
The next year, 1785, Elihu Goodrich and John Ely opened a school.
They taught Greek and Latin for 40s. a quarter ; gi*ammar, arith-
metic and writing for 30s. ; reading and spelling for 20s. The
hours of study showed good constitutions both in masters and pupils.

Upon the occupation of New York by the British forces during
the llevolution, the necessity became evident of having some other
collegiate institution besides King's college, now Columbia. In
1779, the legislature, sitting at Kingston, were petitioned by the
inhabitants of Albany, Tryon and Charlotte counties to incorporate
a college or academy in the town of Schenectady. The necessities
of the war diverted further attention from the subject. The project
was again revived in 1791. Meanwhile the citizens of Albany be-
came alive to the enterprise. In 1792 the corporation resolved to
convey a part of the public square for the purposes of a college. In
1794: over six thousand pounds were subscribed for the object.
Among the subscribers we find Stephen Van Rensselaer, Stephen
Lush, Samuel Stringer, John Tayler, Abr'm Van Vechten, Dudley
Walsh, Thomas Hun, David Newland, John V. Henry, Elias
Kane, Isaac Denuison, John R. Bleecker, Jacob Van Der Heyden,
Goldsboro' Banyar, and other notable citizens. In 1795, the
Regents, by a vote of thirteen to three, located Union college at
Schenectady. Thus that influential city carried ofi'the palm.
But the Albanians were not to be disappointed. In 1804, a
meeting of citizens was held at the old City tavern, a building on
the opposite corner, to take into consideration the expediency of
establishing an academy. The chancellor, lieutenant governor,
mayor, the Rev. Eliphalet Nott, and other conspicuous gentlemen
were present. A plan for the proposed institution was reported,
but nothing further seems to have been accomplished. In the year
1806, Frederick Beasly, John B. Romeyn and John Melancthon
Bradford, my honored and revered father, made proposals to the city
for the establishment of a grammar school " of such a nature that it
might be easily converted into an Academy." The first step required
by the proposers was the raising of a fund of §10,000.
Finally, in January, 1813, the common council made an appropria-
tion for the foundation, and a meeting of citizens was held at the
Capitol to confer upon the subject. Archibald 31clntyre was chair-
man, and a committee of fourteen was chosen to devise a plan of the
44 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
institution. It was proposed to raise $30,000 by subscription.
The corporation offered the lot on the public square as a site for the
building, and on the 4th of March, fifty years ago, the academy was
incorporated by the Itegents of the University. The trustees named
in the charter were the mayor and recorder, ex-officio, Stephen Van
Rensselaer, John Lansing, Archibald Mclntyrc, Smith Thompson,
Abraham Van Vechten, John V. Henry, Henry Walton, the llev.
Messrs. William Neill, John Melancthon Bradford, John McDonald,
Timothy Clowes, John McJimpsey, Frederick G. Mayer, Samuel
Mervin — honorable names, associated with all that is good and
venerable in the history of the period in which they lived.
Rarely has an institution been founded under such favorable au-
spices, and so wise a direction.
The corner stone was laid on the 29th day of July, 1815, by Philip
S. Van Rensselaer, the mayor, and the Academy was announced to
open on the second Monday in September, under Benjamin Allen of
Union college. Messrs. Neill, Beck and Sedgwick were the com-
mittee to receive applications for admission. Until the building was
completed, the school was held in a house on the southeast corner of
State and Lodge streets.
On the 14th of August, 1817, Dr. Beck was elected Principal and
professor in mathematics. He was succeeded in mathematics by
Michael O'Shaunessy, and was associated with Dr. Shaw, professor
of Latin and Greek. In 1824 Dr. Bullions, and in 1826, Joseph
Henry, attained these professorships. These three gave the Academy
great renown. Two of them are still living to enjoy their fame.
Giving the full meed of admiration and respect for their labors and
their achievements, I know they will unite with me in honoring the
memory of that noble hearted man who guided and directed this
institution so many years.
Known over the civilized world as the author and founder of
Medical jurisprudence, a science which he substantially created, he
ranks, wherever law and justice are administered, with Blackstone
and Bacon, Grotius and D'Aguessau.
Theodric Romeyn Beck was a master workman in his profession —
in moulding the mind and character of the young, unequalled.
Himself an untiring, indefatigable student, versed alike in solid
learning and elegant literature, he inspired the pupil with similar

tastes, lighted in his bosom the spark of uohle emulation, elevated
his desires, and purified his ambition. In emotion, tender, delicate
and sensitive as a woman — in perception of moral rectitude, clear
and undeviating — he still possessed a wonderful breadth and manli-
ness of character. His brain was massive, his intellectual faculty
strong and robust, his temper fearless, his conduct full of gentleness
and dignity, modesty and courage. Such glorious qualities com-
manded respect and secured obedience, and withal presented to the
scholar a model worthy of imitation. He was the Arnold of his
llugby. Around him clustered a troop of brave boys — Tom Brownes,
and all — who loved and honored him with full hearts and flowing
afiections.
The course of instruction was on the most liberal scale. In
mathematics it was carried to the differential and integral calculus.
In Latin and Grreek it embraced a wider scope of the classics' than
any of the present curricxda of the colleges. It comprised English
literature, history, philosophy, physical and metaphysical, elocution,
French, drawing, the science of mechanical arts, and practical chem-
istry. The student who finished his gradus with fidelity was sure
to be a good scholar. The ground plan was somewhat extensive.
There was a vast deal to be learned, but still the result was attained ;
and the secret of its accomplishment was small classes, frequent recita-
tions, and small doses. There was a full head of steam, but it was low
pressure, working by way of condensation, and not puffing and blow-
ing, fussing and fuming, like a lake boat or a river tug. The scholar
studied his own lessons without annoying his parents to help him.
I suppose I shall be considered heretical in making the remark I
am about to make, in respect to the system of instruction ; for the
science of pedagogy has attained such a height of vanity and con-
ceit as to frown down all criticism upon its perfections. The feature
of academical education in that day was the simplicity of the text
book. In this respect I am convinced, by much observation and
experience, modern instruction has not gained, but lost. It is im-
possible to stuft" and cram all human knowledge into the youthful
brain, within the scholastic period. The effort leads to confusion
and to superficial acquirement. The mind and memory are tasked
beyond their measure. I sincerely pity the school boy of this day.
Instead of being contented with giving him the principles, rudiments
46 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
and elements of knowledge, and thus constructing a frame work, the
outlines of which are clear and well defined, and around which will
be gathered and arranged the products of his life-long education, the
teacher places in his hands text books which embrace the entire range
of their subject, in all its particulars and details, constructed by
great scholars, into which they have thrown a lavish profusion of
learning — first books, and second books, and third books, rules
and exceptions, and exceptions to exceptions, and doubtful solutions
of doubtful doubts, and the poor boy, lost and bewildered in the in-
tricacies of this labyrinth, disheartened and discouraged, abandons
the efibrt to comprehend, and dwai'fs away into a parrot — his last
resource being the mechanical exercise of memory. Commend me
to Murray, and Adams, DaboU, Bonuycastle, and Playfair — homely
and simple food, but sure of good digestion. As to analytical
mathematics, it is surer to kill than a Minie rifle.
The system at that time prevailed of taking place in class and re-
warding by premiums. If still retained — as I believe — it is else-
where now regarded as immoral, tending to stir up bad passions and
an unchristian spirit. Those also were days of stern discipline.
The stupor of the brain, and consequent idleness, were relieved,
and the mental pulse quickened, by counter-irritation. The rattan
afforded a convenient means of physical and moral suasion, adminis-
tered according to the most delicate rules of the science of palmistry.
If knowledge did not come through the head, it came through the hands
and knees, and so was drawn upwards. Upon the whole, the boys, I
think, fully appreciated the real value of the system. It made them
tough and hardy. It was not only useful as a prophylactic against
misbehavior, but it added a zest to the transgression when it was
committed; and they all acknowledged the administration of justice,
and the principles of compensation upon Avhich it was based. The
schoolmaster was no meek, complaining creature, pleading with his
class to be still and not make so much noise, but was the lord and
master of his subjects, whose rod and sceptre all who met obeyed.
On great occasions, the Doctor presided alone, with industry and
dignity. I have seen fifty lads, who had been engaged in a grand
attack with snowballs upon a Ilelderberg Dutchman who had been
unmanly enough to refuse them a ride, and who, consequently,
nearly had his eyes put out, receive their double cut over the be-

numbed hands, as they poured through the doorway in close order, and
feci thankful for the compliment — thankful I mean that it was no worse.
There was some real, hearty satisfaction in such a little innocent
frolic, for the offender felt that he paid for it, and he had to pay for
it ; and, of course, he had his choice. In these times, 1 believe in
most schools, the matter is settled by a long, dismal note to the
father, and a plaintive, deprecating intercession, produced by the
indignation of the mother, all in arms at the imputation that her
son could be in fault.
Speaking of discipline, I must not forget that in extreme cases
the faculty were convened, and then it was a very solemn affair.
But there was a depth of misery and woe beyond this. There was
a case, and I believe it is on record, of so heinous a character as to
call for the interposition of the board of trustees — a body consist-
ing of the most eminent citizens, lawyers, judges and divines. You
would hardly conceive what the punishment was. The board
gravely determined that the unhappy culprit should be called before
them, and be appropriately admonished by that high and venerable
dignitary, the chancellor. He was, in fact, put in chancery, and it
was the wonder of the school how he ever got out — alive.
My own personal recollections of the Academy are limited to the
period comprised between the years 1825 and 1832, and they are of
the most delightful character. Between the pleasures of study and
the acquisition of knowledge, the sports of out door life, and the
charms of social intercourse, there was everything to excite and
animate even a sluggish nature. What shall I say of the domestic
discords and fights between the Latins and the English, and the
more fierce and bitter foreign conflicts waged between the Hills and
the ('reeks, the latter being a pugnacitms tribe of barbarians who
inhabited the shores of the Fox creek, an ancient stream which our
ancestors found filled with fish, and which has now disappeared — â–
the weekly exhibitions in the gymnasium, graced with the beauty
of Albany — the lectures and experiments in chemistry, which, be-
ing in the evening, were favored with the presence of young ladies
as well as young gentlemen, and where there were quite as many
experiments of electric afiinity, and electric sparks and shocks
among the spectators, as the operator below produced — and the only
jar wa.s that on the operator's table.
48 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
A most faithful teacher in classic lore Tvas the Rev. Dr. Peter
Bullions. An admirable scholar, with a mind deeply stored with
ancient learning, he was peculiarly appreciative of character, and
readily understood all the difficulties of the student. His system of
instruction was exact and thorough, and it was very hard, even for
the dunce, to^^leavc the recitation without learning much.
And there was another professor whose life has been spared, and
his fame extended until the respect and applause of the world have
wreathed his brow with the laurel — who rose with the sun to in-
struct his pupil, eager after knowledge — who, giving his heart and
soul to the duties of the school, had yet time for exploring the deep
paths of science — who, with his wires and silk thread, winding
miles of insulated copper, in the Commencement hall of the Academy,
patiently toiled his way, to the demonsti'ation of the magnetic power
of the galvanic battery, and years before the invention of the tele-
graph, proclaimed to America and to Europe, the means of commu-
nication by the electric fluid. I was an eye-witness to those experi-
ments and to their eventual demonstration and triumph. In this
Commemorative festival, let us not forget to honor the name of
Joseph Henry.
And I would, if I could in the brief space of an address, mention
many other able and beloved instructors; nor should I forget the
scholars who gave credit to their tutors, by subsequently rising to
distinction, or who, without fame, have, in the humbler paths of life,
adorned society, and diffused around the domestic circle the advan-
tages and blessings of a good education. The Bleeckers, the Por-
ters, Lansings, Pruyns, Elmendorfs, Van Vechtens, Elliots, Kanes,
Sanfords, Walworths, De Witts, Jacksons, Campbells, liussells,
Kings, Townsends, Ten Eycks. Jameses, Vieles, Van Burens, Cas-
sidys, Caggers, Huns, Meadses, Fords, Bogarts, Trotters, Hopkinses,
Duers, Van Cortlands, Backuses, Clintons, Melvilles, Spragues, and
a thousand other families, and many other men of distinction now
living. There is certainly no academic institution in the country
which has equaled this in its intellectual products.
But I must pause, and turn from this bright retrospective to the
future. We are met together to day, not merely to commemorate
the foundation of the Academy, but to honor and encourage the
cause of education, and to have in view the welfare of the future
COMMEMORATIVE ADDRESS. 49
youtli of our country. Our fathers had large and sagacious views
jn tliis respect, and we should expand upon them, not only according
to the necessities of the time, but with the improved means of the
age.
What is education? God creates a fair and spotless page, upon
which is to be written the history of life. It is created without
blemish or stain, memory or record — a beginning without an end —
a life continuing forever. Every thought, emotion, feeling and
sentiment, every passing event, every action, good or bad, low or
elevated, mean or majestic, there imprints its image and leaves its
influence. There are wonderful and god-like faculties in this crea-
ture. He is made in the express image of his Creator, and with the
breath of life he became a living soul. " In form and moving how
express and admirable — in action how like an angel — in appre-
hension how like a god " — the beauty and paragon of the world.
And yet he comes into being a helpless infant, iincouscious of his
latent powers, his dormant energies, his slumbering divinity. All
things arc placed in subjection under him, and still he perishes, but
for maternal love. Made but little lower than the angels, he dies
but for a father's care. He is but a worm of the dust, and he is
to be crowned with glory and honor.
What an amazing contrast between the babe, hanging on its
mother's breast, and the matured and ripened man, with mind stored
with knowledge, abounding in the treasures of science, art and na-
ture, sublimely spanning in the glorious effulgence of his intellect
like a grand arch, states and continents, worlds, planets, suns and
stars, and the depths of illimitable space, time and eternity, and as
upon eagles' wings, mounting up from this terrestrial sphere, to the
Divine throne, where, in humble adoration, he finds revealed, the
length and breadth, and height and depth, of the mysteries of crea-
tion and the goodness of God.
And this wonderful transformation is due to a process of education,
by which the soul is drawn out, developed, instructed, expanded,
vivified and glorified. We are all pupils in this school of humanity.
The instruction of youth occupies but its portico. As we cross
the threshhold, and the columns of the vast pile rise before us,
crowned with capital and dome, wc have the choice to pass along
the aisles leading up to the most sacred place; or descend to the

caverns and vaults beneath, full of dead men's bones and rotten-
ness.
Life is a mighty maze, but not without a plan. The end is in
the beginning, as the blade and the ear arc in the seed. How care-
fully then should wc guide the trembling steps of the child. There
is something inexpressibly beautiful in the beginning of all things
natural. There is then, more of God's workmanship, and less of
the devil's interference — more of the first, fresh stamp of the
divine image, before it is soiled and fretted and marred by the base
usage of the world, as the clear cut glittering coin from the mint
can not be recognized in the battered, shapeless metal, worn smooth
in human commerce. Let us take this young being, and lead him
with his freshness and innocence, his plastic mind, into the green
pastures and beside the still waters, and teach him to drink of the
well of knowledge pure and uudefiled; instill the love of the good,
acquaint him with the secrets of nature, the history of man, the
rules of justice, the beauty of holiness, and plant him on the sure
and everlasting grounds of principle and right action, and then arm
him with all the powers of science and art — and then education
will have accomplished her perfect work, in the model of a perfect
manhood.
Gentlemen, to attain such an education requires that the pupil
should be trained upon a systematic plan, in the same institution,
and under the same auspices, until he has become master of all the
elements of knowledge.
And it follows that the standard of instruction should unite
simplicity, with breadth and extension ; and beginning with what is
appropriate for tender years, gradually conduct the pupil to the
summit of knowledge and scholarship. These have been the cha-
racteristics of the Academy, and I trust they never will be changed.
And now, my dear friends and townsmen, and you, honored
guardians of this institution, and you, teachers, and you, pupils, 1
bid you farewell.
I thank God that I have lived to see this day, and that it has
been accorded to me to yield a tribute to the virtues of our fore-
fathers — to revisit in memory the scenes of childhood, and recall
the happy former days.
|]ut in this time of great convulsions and fearful apprehensions,
COMMEMORATIVE ADDRESS. 51
I cannot refrain from a few words in regard to the civil war which
prevails, believing it of much importance that sound views in this
respect should be impressed upon the youth of our country and in-
culculated by the teacher and parent. I am not appalled by the
terrors and conflicts of the present, nor the gloomy forebodings of
the future. We have passed through many a fiercer struggle —
many a deeper furnace of affliction. There are no accidents in
history. It moves according to certain definite laws. It is orderly,
methodical, symmetrical. There is nothing fortuitous. Looking
back since the dawn of Christianity, we find a sure, steady advance;
and though there be apparently retrocessions and drawbacks, the
great issues have ultimately always been on the side of humanity ;
and these issues are not determined without a struggle, without the
arbitrament of the sword. Look at the religious wars in Germany,
lasting thirty years; the long and bloody contests for religious
freedom in Holland ; the English rebellion ; the French revolution ;
our own Revolution — and nothing can be clearer than that an anta-
gonism of principles must necessarily occur in the progress of man,
and the Old will not yield to the New, unless compelled by force to
succumb. There can, therefore, be no peace unless one or the other
yields, or there be a concession of principle, by unmanly compromise.
There are three marked and clearly defined classes of govern-
ment : the pure despotism, the limited monarchy, and the republic.
The enlightened and thoughtful man prefers the republic, well
administered, to no government at all; for anarchy is not only de-
structive of all regular forms of government, but is directly hostile
to the peace and order of society, to the enjoyment of life, liberty
and property, and the welfare and happiness of every member of
the community.
Secession is the incarnation of anarchy. Its appropriate emblems
are the Palmetto flag and the snake, reminding us of the tree, and
the serpent, that destroyed the felicity of Paradise. Secession
violates constitutions. It breaks solemn contracts. It bids defiance
to law. It repudiates pecuniary obligations. It lurks with treason
in cabinet councils. It carries the pirate's flag upon the hijjh seas.
It disintegrates, dissolves, and with a centrifugal force breaks into
fragments. Its life and essence, its very soul and spirit, are rebellion ,
self-will, uncontrol, disorganization, disorder, liberty perverted into
52 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
licentiousness, and terminating, in its full development, in a dissolu-
tion of all the bonds of society, and a return to a state of nature,
where every man asserts his own personal sovereignty.
The nearest approach to good government consists in unity ) not
unity without parts, but unity, which recognizes the rights of indi-
viduals, of communities and of states; which secures them, and
sanctifies them and ratifies them by inexorable law; and at the same
time so controls the members as to make them all subservient to
the good of the whole body, so that all the parts working harmoni-
ously together, contribute in due proportion to the happiness of
man, and to the strength, power, dignity and glory of a perfect state.
This, in my judgment, is the great problem which is now being
worked out in our beloved country. It underlies even the question
of slavery — all matters of caste and color, all great and petty dif-
ferences of politics, domestic or foreign policy. It is a problem
which belongs to the history of progress and of humanity. In its
eventuation, the whole world is concerned. It is to be deter-
mined only by the sword. And nations may well stand aghast at
the terrors of the conflict, amazed with its gigantic magnitude — and
await, with suppressed breathing, the momentous issue.
Truly providence has cast our lot in an age of stupendous actions.
We can not easily perceive this, with minds contracted to the narrow
limits of temporary occupations. Intent on the pursuit of the
hour, the mighty swell and surging of the ocean of humanity, on
which we are borne, is heaving upward and onward without our
being conscious of the motion.
War has its evils ; but wars are the trials and the judgments of
history. Most justly has said Cousin, one of the most profound of
modern philosophers : " There is no iniquity in sreat battles. There
can be none, for in them neither men nor their passions strive together.
Battles are the encounters of their causes — the clash of the op-
ponent spirits of an epoch — of the diverse ideas, which in a given
century animate and agitate humanity." " It is this which has given
such importance, such interest, such celebrity to battles." Is there
anything more renowned than Marathon, Platea. Thermopylae, Phar-
Balia, IMiillipi, Poictiers, Lutzen, Naseby, Saratoga, Bunker hill.
And which side shall win the victory ? Says the same writer :
" For my own part, T believe war to be a game, in which there is
COMMEMORATIVE ADDRESS. 53
little uncertainty — a game of which the issue is infallibly certain;
for I defy any one to point out a single game lost to humanity. In
reality, not a single great battle has taken a turn," " detrimental to
civilization."
" Civilization may sometimes receive a check ; the success of arms
may be inconstant; but in the end the advantage, the gain and the
honor of the campaign must always remain on her side. Nor can it
be otherwise.
" Do you admit that an idea to which a certain portion of futurity
belongs, must needs prevail over an idea in which futurity has no
interest, and whose whole power is expended ? You must admit it ;
and then it follows that whensoever the spirit of the past, and the
spirt of the future, encounter each other, the advantage will always
remain with the new spirit of the age. History has its laws, and
war, which acts so great a part in history, and which represents all
its great movements, must also have its laws ; and as history, with
its great events, is nothing but the judgment of God on humanity,
we may say that wars are nothing but the modes of pronouncing
that judgment, and that battles are its signal promulgations."
Let us then, men and brethren, all have faith in the issue of this
combat, which now enlists the armies of the republic. Our country
has been the chosen spot, reserved until the latter days, for the
refuge, the expansion and development of civil and religious freedom.
And here of necessity must be the last great combat of true liberty —
the liberty of law and order and constitutional government, against
disorder, confusion, anarchy and unrestrained license.
With faith and hope, let us abide the awful issue, and in patience
possess our souls !
God of our fathers, we have heard with our ears, and our fathers
have declared unto us the noble works thou didst in their days, and
in the old time before them.
With faith, greater works shall yet be done. Let us then be true to
our lineage, to our birthright, and transmit to future generations, our
country, one and undivided, unshattered and unbroken ■— presenting
to the nations of the world in supernal majesty a great and glori-
ous people, animated with the 2>i"in(jiples of liberty and universal
emancipation, and bound together by the wholesome restraints of
law, of justice, of constitutional obligations and of national unity.

Let us teacli these principles to our children.
Let them be promulgated in our schools, and by our firesides.
Let us live by them — let us die for them.
And although the earth be moved, and the people rage and swell,
and the kings of the earth imagine a vain thing,
Let us stand by our trust, inflexible, invincible and immoveable.

And receiving the hallowed words of blessing from the ministry

of an occasion of high moral and intellectual enjoyment.
REUISriON.
In the evening at 8 o'clock the Alumni gathered in force at the
great hall of the Academy — a beautiful room — whose extent and
proportions were by every one admired. Many of the alumni re-
membered how long the construction of the room was one of the
perplexities of the building ; and in what mysteries of scaffolding
it was for many years encumbered; and to most of those who
gathered there, this superb hall was never shown in more beauty
than on this evening, when, in all the brilliancy of a vivid and well
displayed light, and with tasteful ornament, the crowd of active
men assembled to give an enthusiastic close to the high literary
exercises of the day.
One decoration was seen with significant approbation, and wel-
comed in its own beauty of fabric and in its association. It was
the national banner, in silk, exquisitely made by a lady; and which
had been the distinguishing ornament and symbol at the great
world's exhibition in London, of the court devoted to American
product, and which was loaned for the evening by the distinguished
representative of our country at that fete of industry. Col. B. P.
Johnson.
On the motion of John Tayler Hall, Esq., of the Committee of
Arrangements, William H. Bogart was selected to preside over
the gathering of the evening. On taking the chair, Mr. Bogart said :
Fellow Students : — We have met to night to celebrate the golden
wedding of our literary mother; a wedding rich as that which
Pluto of old held in Academus. As we gathered this afternoon,
66 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
the historian and the orator folded our mother in the silk and hro-
cade of their scholarly research and eloquence, for us, so joyously
gathered in this beautiful hall, to make, if we can, this evening a
brilliant one, and to give it as the diamond ring for this renewal of
the life of fifty years.
We, who are assembled here, are the representatives of the thou-
sands — of all who have gone out to fight the battle of life, in the
long years that have departed since the Academy was made an insti-
tution of Albany. We call the roll; and ours are all of living
voice that makes ans-uFer. Can we not say of some of those whom
the grave claims — as is yet said, in the guard of France, of La Tour
D'Auvergne, as his name is uttered — died on the field of honor?
Some of us know the weariness, and waste, and woe, of the
struggle ; and it is as well that there are some among us in this
festivity to night who are not yet instructed by reality beyond the
hope, that what existence seems to be, it is.
We have come back to our home, and the halls give us welcome.
They do not change. They are in the life of the physical, and we
decay beneath the cares that have never ceased to accompany us.
I am glad to tell you we are not alone to-night. The teachers of
other days have come up with us, and we shall hear their utterances.
They shall find we have not forgotten to be attentive. They are
here to see that they builded well ; that this structure of their
work has not been the ephemeral and the false, but of the old, and
sound, and true, of learning.
We shall have abiding cause to congratulate each other of this
day and evening. We exult in the memories of the past. We
look at the present to find that the trust of education is here ful-
filled to the very honesty of science and progress. In the grand
old scholars who gave the earnest to the life of letters here, we
have a common property. We can forgive Michael O'Shaunessy,
wc can forgive Joseph Shaw, their somewhat heavy discipline ; that
is long since obliterated. In their depth of science, in their
strength of mind, they live in our success. While of Dr. Beck,
there is but one memory — one joyous association — the delight
that so many of us, of different eras of education, are bound together
in his administration. The first of the belles-lettres scholars in the
state, he gave his illustrious mind, which would have dignified the
REUNION. 57
proudest college in the Land, to the Albany Academy; and if over
man was honored by his scholars, it is the man whose name is the
central thouyht of the ovation of this day. The often quoted words
by which Johnson expressed to Westminster Abbey the world's
judgment of Goldsmith, arc again the truth when uttered of our
teacher : He touched nothing but that he adorned it. The Albany
Academy might be obliterated from this hour ; but literature could
not spare its history from its annals, because it was the home of Dr.
Eeck.
We clasp hands over his name. Profound, decorative, sagacious,
facetious ; the ruler and the playmate of the boys of thirty years of
the school-room. We knew the truth of his will, the delight of his
wit, the wealth of his learning, the keenness of his common sense.
My fellow students, I am proud to remember the practical character
of the studies which have been pui'sued in these halls. Not so much
the abstrusities of mathematical learning, nor the perplexities of
Greek and Latin verse. The studies here have been for the life of
men.
In the great exhibition at London in 1862, there was the court
devoted to the products of Russia, in its magnificence of malachite ;
its profusion of all that art could illustrate of the glories of precious
stones, of all the devices of luxury.
By its side was the American court. The Indian corn, the reaper,
the mower, the cultivator, the steam engine — inventions to make
greater the amount of food for man ; to make lighter the toil of the
weary laborer. That was all our department showed to the millions
who, from all quarters of the earth, came to the crystal palace.
The one made more beautiful the domain of the illustrious few ;
the other made glad the homes of the people.
We resign to the college its intensities of acquisition. We step
aside to give place to first man and senior wrangler. The few win
such honor, and fewer wear it, in the long years of real life. It is
enough for us, to-night, to exult in the fact, that for fifty years the
Albany Academy has taught so many to make bright the common
roll of men.
At the close of his address the President said : I congratulate
the x\lumni and Students that the Rev. Dr. Isaac Ferris, the chan-
cellor of the New York university, is with us this evening; but it

is not in that dignity we now address liim. A teacher in the
Academy, in its very earliest years, he has come to join us to-night
in our festivity. We welcome him enthusiastically ; but I must he
careful ; yet I think I can venture it. Professor Ferris, will you
please to speak to the boys ?
The Reverend Chancellor Ferris then addressed the meeting.
Mr. President and very respected Friends : — I rise not to make a
special speech but to talk. I avail myself of the privilege granted
to my time of life, and leave the special speeches to my young
friends.
This is to me a most interesting day, as it carries my mind back
to the commencement of active life. I supjjose I stand here as the
oldest living worker in the department of teaching in the Academy
here present; and but one earlier than myself survives. I was
Bcai'cely eighteen when I came, in the fall of 1816, to be an assistant
to Dr. Shaw in the classical department. I had just graduated at
Columbia college, and was honored with the recommendation of
President Harris and Dr. Peter Wilson to the trustees. My work
was begun in the old building, corner of Lodge and State streets,
and was finished after the removal to this building, then in an
unfinished state. It was to me an eventful period ; as I then shoved
my boat off from the parental haven to do as so many American
lads do — take care of myself. It has been to me a great satisfac-
tion to shake by the hand to-day two of my pupils ; one of whom I
see before me, my friend. Dr. Bogart of Staten Island, who was in
my Sallust class. Alas, where are the rest ?
• After the lapse of several years, having become the pastor of the
Second Dutch church, I was introduced into the board of trustees.
Melancholy thoughts come to my mind when I look back to my
colaborers in the board. We have heard to-day noble testimonies
to the distinguished professors who have here spent their strength,
and secured renown to this Academy; and I maybe permitted to
speak of the active and influential auxiliaries they had in the board
of trustees ; of Drs. Ludlow, Chester, Weed ; and Messrs. Webster,
Kane, and His Honor, Judge Conkling, and Dr. Gideon Hawley,
and others; men always ready to work — always watching for the
best interests of the institution. Several of them have gone to
REUNION. 59
their reward, and others arc far on their journey. I have been
connected with various boards of trustees, but with none nioro
ready to meet the calls of an institution for time and service. This
must be regarded as most momentous to tlie success of any such
enterprise.
My attachment has ever been very strong to the Albany Academy;
and I have constantly rejoiced in its success. Its position among
academic institutions is second to none other in our land. Its song
are found in every profession, and not a few occupying chief places
in business — in the ministry — in public life — the law — in the
army and the navy.
Two chief characteristics have distinguished the course of in-
struction here. One is its tho7-oughness, which has never been
excelled elsewhere ; and when I say thoroughness, I mean minute-
ness in the detail, and that faithful and careful gathering in of
everything which belongs to the sound scholar in preparation for
participation in the affairs of life. There has been one tone thus
in the progress of the Academy ; each succeeding professor carrying
on the system where his predecessor left it. The other character-
istic, in which I doubt not my friend, Dr. Campbell, will entirely
agree with me, as well as in the former, is the harmony of depart-
ments and instruction ; no one branch prosecuted to the disadvan-
tage of another; not Latin to the neglect of the Greek; nor both
these to the neglect of mathematics and natural sciences ; but all in
such harmony, that when a young man who had applied himself to
Btudy went before any college faculty for examination, he was
received without considerations as a whole man, if I may so say —
soundly educated.
I see before me a large number of the present students, and I
would urge them to remember that they have the honor of the
Academy in their hands. I hope that, taking pattern from those
who now represent the Academy in active life, they will maintain
its high character. It is a pleasure to meet some of these repre-
sentative men here, and among them my own boys, ecclesiastically —
my honored friend, the chancellor of the board of Regents, and the
president of this meeting.
Mr. President, in concluding my talk, let me say, I stand here to
make confession of my sins. We have heard to day of the plentiful
60 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
use of the rod in this history of the Academy, and of its value. I
beg to differ from my excellent friend in his views. When I came
here to teach, the special matter insisted on was, be not sparing of
the rod. I followed the counsel, and gave full measure ; but from
that time to this have been repenting of it. I have found, in my
large intercourse with youth, that they have hearts and consciences
as well as physical sensibilities; and that when the former are
properly addressed much more may be accomplished. I may be
asked if I would not use the rod at all ? I agree, there are cases
when the rod is the proper medicine to be administered ; but I
would use it as a last resort. I like very much the course of a very
successful teacher in one of the old public schools of New York
city. Great complaints were made in some neighborhoods of the
excessive, cruel whipping in the schools.; the people around being
terrified by the shrieking of the children. A Quaker member of the
board was for the absolute prohibition of the rod, and strenuously
argued that there was no need of it ; that other remedies for evils
could be successfully employed; and the teacher I refer to was
named as having pei'fect order, and no use of rod. His position
concerning her was denied, and the parties in the debate referred
the matter to her. They met in her room, stated the case, when
she promptly said she did not use it. On this the Quaker member
was exultant, when she said: Gentlemen, look here; and, lifting
the lid of the desk, showed the rattan within, and remarked — I
keep it here. The children know it is here. I reserve to myself
the liberty to use it. It is in terrorcm.
Excuse my detaining you so long. My desire for the Albany
Academy is, that it may ever flourish, and be a blessing to the city
and the state.
As there was present some of the very best vocalists, who were
also of the Alumni, it was with the highest satisfaction that the
songs which are here given, were heard, as while there was a hearty
and joyous union in the chorus, there was so much of the beauty of
music in the voices of Messrs. Whitney, Davis, Thomas, and
DiCKERMAN, and their skilled associates, that it formed a delightful
feature of the evening's action.

It was the contributioa of the Academy to the exquisite art of
Music, and had the occasion admitted of the offering, there was
gratulation in the thought that all departments of art, as well of its
ornamental as of its practical, would have been illustrated by the
works of those who had found in these halls their academical
home. Nor thus alone, the Academy had offered to the country its
life blood — and on the roll of the battlefield, the names of its sons
are written in the record of carnage and of sacrifice.
WE HAVE COME AGAIN TOGETHER.
Air — Cocahelunk.
We have come again together
Here to have a jolly row,
And to make these old walls echo
With our merry row-de-dow.
Chorus — Cocachelunk, chelunk, chelaly,

Cocachelunk, chelunk, chelaly,
Hi ! 0, chickachelunk, chela.
Ancient feuds are all forgotten,
Grave Alumni now are we ;
Little ones who call us "papa,"
Here are taught their ABC.
Chorus — Cocachelunk, &c.
Yonder bell no more shall call us
Latin verbs to conjugate.
Lines and cosines no more bore us —
We're not flogged for "coming late."
Chorus — Cocachelunk, &c.
Learned " prof's," pedantic tutors,
No more make us own their might ;
Birch, rattan, and ferule heavy.
Fear we not a whit to night.

When we all were happy boys.
Chokus — Cocachelunk, &c.
The President. — And now we turn gratefully to the State.
It has always cherished the Academies, and our own has never been
forgotten in its care. But it is with especial pride we turn to the
State this evening — for of that distinguished body of scholars and
gentlemen, in whose care are all the Academies — the board of
Regents of the University, we find in the Chancellor an Albany
boy — and better stills one of our own Alumni, one who worthily
and wisely discharges the duty of his high trust. We are honored
in the attendance of Mr. Pruyn. "^
To which Mr. Pruyn said :
The history of the Academy, Mr. Chairman, and the character
and services of Dr. Beck as its principal for many years, have been
so fully placed before us, that I shall not say more in regard to
either, but will at once pass to some other matters which I hope
may be considei'ed appropriate to the occasion.
Your chairman, gentlemen, my fellow student here in my younger
days, has spoken of the Regents of the university, by whom the
charter of this institution was granted, and of my connection with
that board. Having been one of its members for many years while
Dr. Beck was its secretary, it gives me an opportunity to speak of
his services in a position quite distinct from his relationship to the
Academy. Dr. Beck was elected to this office in the year 1841,
and it has been well said by one of the gentlemen who addressed
you, that he discharged its duties with faithfulness, ability, and
success. It is an old remark that an office is often honored by the
man who fills it. Sir Walter Scott, you will remember, for a long
while performed the duties of a clerk of the court of session,
while he was engaged in his most arduous labors as an author : and
so with Dr. Beck. For years while busy in literary tasks of in-
terest and importance, he discharged with his own hands an almost
incredible amount of detail work. Ilis literary and official labors,
REUNION. 63
the care of estates held by him as trustee, his common place book,
his note book of current literature, and of works to be procured for
the State library, in the affairs of which as secretary of the trustees
he took the most active interest, all combined, never seemed to leave
him a moment unoccupied. And although he was fond of social
life, and was a most attractive and welcome member of every circle
which he entered, he often yielded its claims, to the constant de-
mands upon his time of which I have spoken.
On the death of Dr. Beck, a meeting was held of former students
of the Academy, at which a committee was appointed to take
measures to erect a suitable memorial to commemorate his worth
and services. Some steps were taken in the matter, but several
causes, among which I may name the death of some of the com-
mittee, and the absence or removal of others, seemed to interfere
with its completion. I speak from personal knowledge when I say,
that it was intended some time ago to undertake the work with a
determination to carry it through, when the society of whose
action you have been informed to-day, came forward and assumed
the duty with a spirit and zeal which calls for the warmest praise.
The few minutes I may occupy your time are almost gone, but
I wish to say a word on another subject. The restoration of our
country and the great struggle now going on to maintain the Con-
stitution and the Union are present with us on all occasions. The
distinguished gentleman (Mr. Bradford) who spoke to us this after-
noon, in the close of his address, urged upon us most strongly, the
importance of upholding the supremacy of the Constitution and the
Laws. I can not add to his eloquent words. I can only beg you
to remember them. The time may soon come when your principles
may be put to the trial. And should it come, I hope that the
Alumni of this old, this conservative seat of learning, will be found
unitedly and boldly standing up for the cause of law and order, for
the Constitution and the Union founded by our fathers, just as
they gave them to us, in their original completeness and strength,
undisturbed and unimpaired.
The President. — We ask the privilege of hearing one who was at
the head of this institution — who is now at the head of that old
and sound school of religious teachiutr — Ilutgers Collesre — who

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

REUNION. 73
This joyous and memorable evening drew to its close. It had
been the last chapter in a volume of kindly memories. Gathered
at that Present of fifty years, which had been to the courageous
founders of the Academy such a far off Future, it was one of the
gentle but most welcome voices of time; and its philosophy was
interpreted by all hearts. The hour for the farewell came.
The Preshlent. — I declare this meeting of the Alumni of the
Albany Academy adjourned till 8 o'clock of the evening of the
twenty-sixth day of June, 1913 ; and I must request of you all to
be punctual.
And thus this memorable celebration ended j leaving with all the
most cordial and pleasant memories.

LETTERS.
The following letters among many otliers, have been received by
the Committee of Arrangements. They will commend themselves
by their genial spirit and delightful reminiscences.
From John Romeyn Brodhead, LL. D., Author of the
History of New York.
New York, 25th June, 1863.
My Dear Sir,
On my return home, after seeing you at Albany last week, I
found the invitation you had sent me to take part in the Celebration
of the Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the Academy to-morrow.
I have delayed a formal acknowledgment, in the hope that I
might be able to be with you in person, on this interesting occasion.
But I am very sorry that this pleasure can not be mine ; and my
disappointment is the greater, because I had counted much on
listening to Mr. Bradford's oration, and your own historical sketch
of our Alma Mater.
Moreover, I hoped to have met some others of my surviving
schoolmates, and renewed the memories of the summer of 1823 —
forty years ago — when we used to make the campus ring with
our merry noise, after we had escaped the scrutiny of Shaw, and the
severity of O'Shaunessey.
LETTERS. 75
But, more than all, I should have been glad to join in a tribute
of gratitude and respect to the memory of our venerated principal,
Doctor Beck. In his death the Academy lost one who did more
than any other man to give it its present high renown. I trust
that a prominent result of the commemoration will be a fitting me-
morial of his rare worth. Those who grew up under his eye ; whose
progress in life he watched and recorded with such affectionate so-
licitude ; and who owe so much to his grand and generous teachings,
will not, I am sure, fail to make true the words of the poet.
" Quiqiie sui mcmores alios fecerc merendo,
Omnibus his nived cinguntur tempora vittd."
I remain, my dear sir.
With great regard,
Sincerely yours,
John Romeyn Brodhead.

David Murray, Esq.,
Dear Sir : The invitation to attend the Semi-Centennial of the
Academy, has been received.
It would be an unusual pleasure to participate in exercises so in-
teresting, but duty here will hold me fast.
It may be a satisfaction to know, that on the 25th, two of the
Academy boys will finish chief parts in the examination of the
Holland Academy, Mich., viz : Rev. Philip Phelps as principal of
the institution, and myself as orator before the Literary Society and
member of the council of the Academy.
I am simply a pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church, doing now,
and for over 8 years, what I can in helping along the religious and
intellectual improvement of the West. It is pretty had work now
and then, but there is always a blessing in it.
It was not my privilege to graduate at the Academy, but I was
there long enough to be reading Greek. How can we ever be thank-

ful cnougli to Prof. Bullions for liis drill in the Latin and Greek
grammars. Wasn't it splendid.
The clear and entertaining talk of Dr. Beck, gave me a taste for
natural sciences, and what is still better, gave me so correct a basis,
that from that day to this I have had no difficulty in apprehending
anything read or heard pertaining to that branch of study. Indeed it
has been a pleasure to keep tolerably well read up in those matters.
Well, gray hairs gradually increasing in number, tell me I must
begin to go down the decline before long, but it is quite invigorat-
ing to remember again the good times we used to have in the old
Academy. God bless her more and more. May she stand and
thrive as long as Dr. Cummings will allow the world to last.
Yours heartily and respectfully,
John Mason Fekris.

Dear Sir : I have received your polite invitation to be present at
the Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the Albany Academy. It is
with sincere regret that I am obliged to decline it. My engage-
ments at that time arc such as to make it impracticable to be with
you. Allow me, however, to congratulate the trustees, faculty and
friends of the Academy on the arrival of such an interesting era in
the history of the Institution. In fifty years how much it has done
for the promotion of sound learing, and how much it has added to
the intellectual resources of the state ! Among its five thousand
pupils, have doubtless, been many who have reflected honor upon
their Alma Mater, and her fostering care. I sincerely trust that
the history of the Academy in the next fifty years will be one of in-
creasing pi'osperity. I shall always remember my connection with it
as one of its trustees with pleasure, and rejoice to contribute still,
in any way to its welfare.

From Rev. John Toionsend, son of the late Hon. John
Townsend of Albany.
TVallingford, June 24, 1863.
Prof. Murray,
Dear Sir : I am in receipt of the invitation to be present at the
Semi-Centennial celebration of the Albany Academy. It would
afford me very great pleasure to be present on the occasion, were it
in my power, which, I very much regret to say, it will not be.
I am very glad indeed that the idea for this celebration has been
taken up and is being acted upon. It must indirectly tend to the
advantage of the Academy, and serve to create a unity of interest
among the Alumni.
And all this apart from the satisfaction that will be afforded to
those who may turn from the busy pursuits of life, to renew, in
what now have become venerable walls, the delightful memories of
school-boy days.
Anything that would be suggestive of all this, can not but be of
value and be worthy of receiving attention.
Trusting that the former prosperity of the Academy may not only
be continued, but increased in coming years, and that God's bless-
ing may ever rest upon all those connected with it.
I am, with much respect.
Yours very truly,
John Townsend.

Dear Sir :
I have been cherishing the hope up to the last moment, that T
should be able to join my fellow Alumni of the Albany Academy,
in celebrating its fiftieth Anniversary. Imperative engagements,
however, compel me reluctantly to deny myself the anticipated
pleasure. Most gladly would I have renewed my acquaintance with
my venerable Alma Mater, on this most interesting occasion, in
common with my old associates, and the host of noble men she has
sent forth to the battle of life. Most gladly would I have revived
the recollections of those faithful instructors who formed my youthful
mind, and gave me the first taste for learning, and whose eminence
as scholars and teachers was only equaled by their elevated tone of
character and the high principles they inculcated on their pupils.
Beck, Henry, Bullions, Ten Eyck, and others, not one of whom
that was not thoroughly qualified for his place or failed to fulfill its
duties with the student conscientiously. Regretting that this poor
tribute to their worth and to the value of the venerable Institution,
is all that I can render on this interesting occasion,
I am very respectfully.
Your obedient servant,
M. Van Rensselaer.
D. Murray, Esq., Principal, &c., Albany.
LETTERS. 79
From Manton 3Iarble, JEsq., Editor of the New York World.
New York, June 25tli, 1863.
My Dear Sir :
I had the pleasure of receiving, a few days ago, the circular letter
addressed to former students of the Albany Academy, inviting them
to meet to-morrow and join in the celebration of its Semi-Cen-
tennial Anniversary.
Until the present moment I have hoped to be able to be in
Albany, and to join in the exercises by which you will commemorate
the day, but now, to my great regret, find myself compelled to re-
main here.
The period during which I was a student in the Academy, enjoy-
ing its manifold advantages, was that in which Prof. Geo. H. Cook,
and Prof. Wm. A. Miller, your honored predecessors, were at its
head. Those years I look back upon to day, as among the most
profitable and happily spent of my life. Their studies anticipated
in a great degree my college curriculum, and if other academies pre-
served as high a standard of scholarship as ours, the colleges of the
United States might, by a proportionate advance of their standards,
approach more nearly the liberal and comprehensive studies of for-
eign universities.
Among the sadder thoughts which crowd upon my mind as it
reverts to those delightful days, are the memories of well-loved
fellow-students, who, since we parted in the Academy halls, have
passed from life.
There was (to name but two) John Hun Meads, a dear and un-
forgotten friend, whose ripe, pure, well-balanced character, and
varied accomplishments, won for him the warmest place in the
hearts of all of us ; and Richard M. Strong, whose generous nature
and admirable scholarship, ripening into manhood, had already be-
gun to show what fruit such seeds may bear, cut ofi" at the threshold
of life, serving his country with an entire devotion, in the hour of
her peril. My only brother's name, too, is on your list, he was one
of your own pupils, sir, and he too is gone.
Such memories as these, and the gratitude I feel to the institu-
80 ALBANY ACADEMY SEMI-CENTENNIAL.
tion, and the teachers who did so much for me, are newly awakened
by the occurrence of this Anniversary, and give keenness to the
reget that I can not be one of the many who will participate in its
celebration.
With the confident belief that the future history of the Albany
Academy, will justify the promise of its part, and the hope that you
may long be spared to be its entire principal,
I remain, dear sir,
Very respectfully and truly yours,
Manton Marble.
David Murray, Esq.
From Hon. George W. Clinton, son of De Witt Clinton.
BuFEALO, April 6, 1863.
Dear Sir :
I shall, at all times, be happy to show my gratitude to the Albany
Academy, and my appreciation of the services it has rendered, and
will, I hope, for centuries, continue to render to the cause of science.
And I trust that my utter inability to be in Albany on the 8th
instant, will not deprive me of the honor of being nominally con-
tinued on the Committee of Arrangments for the Celebration of its
Semi-Centennial Anniversary.
Very truly and respectfully,
Your friend and servant,
G. W. Clinton.

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

And from many of These <listin^''uished i)ersonages, letters of
regret were receiwd, coiiitled with expressions of cheer and
sym[)athy. We have found space for some of these.
The exercises at the church were presided over by Mr.
Maurice E. Viele, chairman of the connnittee of arrangements,
in the absence of Dr. Thomas Hun, senior Trustee, and pre-
siding otficer of the Board. The music was furnished by the
choir of the First Reformed church under the direction of Prof.
Sanuiel B. Belding, and by (xarthmd's orchestra.
After an overture by tlie orchestra, the Rev. Dr. William tS.
Smart, pastor of the cliurcli, offered a i)rayer of thanksgiving
to the source of all knowledge, for wliat the institution had
been permitted to do, in the seventy-five years just closing, and
sought for all the time to c(mie, the guidance of the Heavenly
han<l that had led us thus far.
The following ode, written for the occasion by Mrs. Merrill
E. Gates, was then sung by tlie choir, accompanied by the
orchestra :
Air — March from Lohengrin.
When 'mid the years
God's hand appears,
Cvowiiiiig- with glory the work we have wrought,
Then let us raise
Hymns to His praise,
Gladly confessing His love jiasses thought.
Out of the past, sweet voices, join ye !
Echo the (chorus, years yet to be !
One note prolong.
One be our s(nig.
Hail, our Academy, blessings on thee !
Loyal and pure,
Sti'ong to eiubare,
Bold for the battles of Right evermore,
Kagei- for trutli,
Be every youth
Leaving thy thi-eshold oi- entei-ing thy door.
White brows of glory, bending above,
Challenge thy sons their manhood to prove.
Make of them, then,
Helpers of men.
Conquerors of Wi-ong by the might of their love.
4
This is our prayer :
Shining- and fair
Still be thy future while glad yeai-s roll on.
God's smile is thine,
Thy work divine,
Boyhood's bright beauty with knowledge to crown.
Still be the center, noble and sweet.
Where all our dearest, best hopes shall meet.
Uxiward thy way.
Forward, to-day.
Blessing and blessed, thy future to greet !
Mr. Ernest J. Miller then read the following historical
sketch :
HISTORICAL SKETCH.
Alumni and Stiidents of the Albany Academy, Ladies and Gen-
tlemen :
The Trustees of the Albany Academy have iiivited yon this
evening to celebrate with them the seventy-fifth anniversary
of the corporate existence of this institution.
More than three score and ten years ago the Regents of the
University, under the signature of Daniel D. Tompkins, as
Chancellor, and under the seal of their honorable body, granted
the charter to this institution ; and from that day to the pres-
ent the Academy has been an educational force in your midst.
Fathers and sons and grandsons have been educated here ;
for more than two generations of men has its doors been
open for the instruction of youth ; for more than two genera-
tions of men have its graduates gone forth to fill places of
honor and trust, in this City, in this State, in this Nation. It
is impossible to calculate the amount of good that this single
institution has accomplished in the seventy-five years of its
existence, in fitting young men to do with honor a man's work
in the world. While some generous citizens aided in the erec-
tion of the building, we are chiefly indebted to the far-seeing
wisdom of the corporation of the city of Albany, which, by its
gifts, made the erection of the building a possibility, and by
its care fostered the institution in its infancy. No higher
compliment was ever paid to the value of a sound education
than by this City when it gave of its property to found this
Academy ; and the greatness of the gift is even now a cause
for admiration, and a source of unfailing respect for such an
instance of municipal generosity. To understand what this
gift was, let us picture to ourselves this old City in 1813 —
not in miruite particularity, but in its general extent and
appearance.
Leaving the bank of the Hudson overshadowed with willows
and the graceful elm, we will pass up Htate street — which was
much narrower then, than it is now — to Court street, now
Broadway, and standing on the corner, we can ahnost see at
a glance the most important parts of the town. State street
is in front of us, with its noble proportions of width, and for
that reason admired by every traveler who visited Albany,
then, as now, the most beautiful street in the city. The old
Dutch church that stood in the middle of the street has been
torn down, and its materials have been used to erect the new
church edifice in Beaver street ; the most beautiful church edi-
fice of that day not only, but also receiving from the correct
architectural taste of the present day, that tribute of praise
which harmonious proportion and beautiful design always de-
mand. From the middle of the street further up, St. Peter's
church had been removed to its present location, so that we
have an unobstructed view of the new Capitol on Pinckster
Hill. This was considered a most beautiful building, and had
just been completed, but not without great objection. Its cost
of $120,000 was considered as an extreme waste of public
funds ; it was insisted that the V)uilding was larger than any
present or future use could possibly retpiire ; while the furni-
ture and equipments were claimed to be of the highest type
of foolish extravagance. In fact, it ai>pears that every thing-
was objected to except the bill providing for its erection ; and
that would have been, had it been known just what the bill
meant ; for under the legislative methods that then obtained,
it was erected under a bill entitled " An. act making provision
for the improvement of Hudson's river below Albany and for
other purposes." Southward from our point of view Court
street extends to the Ferry House, but it was for most of that
distance simply a roadway without intersecting streets, liouses
or inhabitants. The only street parallel to State street was
Hudson avenue, and that extended but a little farther west
than South Pearl street; beyond that point wa* the country.
Northward from our point of view, there was a larger popula-
tion. Steuben street ran west as far as Lodge street, while
other streets parallel to it extended as far as North Pearl
street, until we reach Orange street, a little above which was
the north bounds of the city.
8
From this brief description it will be seen, that excepting
on 8tate street, there was but little of the city west of Pearl
street, south of Hudson avenue and north of Steuben street ;
and the only road to the Capitol, whither we shall have to go
if we want to visit the site set apart for the Albany Academy,
is up State street hill, that gi'eat developer of the Albanian's
nuiscle, and the special detestation of all strangers visiting us.
But we cannot leave our point of view without noticing the
building right by us, which is a brick edifice of three stories,
elegantly faced in front with white marble — this is the new
banking house recently erected by the Bank of Albany, the
first bank incorporated in the City and the second in the State,
and their third location since they began business in 1792 ;
their first banking house being an old-fashioned Dutch house,
the third north of State on the east side of North Pearl street.
From there they removed to the building, still standing, north
of the Merchants' Bank, and in 1809 they occupied this new
building, which was considered one of the ornaments of the
city. Directly opposite tlie bank, on tlie south side of State
street, is the Post-office; and diagonally opposite is the prop-
erty which, more than two hundred years ago, was owned by
Volckert Janse Douw, and which has remained in the posses-
sion of his descendants from that day to the present.
Let us then walk up the hill to the Capitol, noting a few of
the most noteworthy buildings as we pass. On the south side
of the street, we notice that old house with the gable to the
street — a true Dutch type of architecture, an antiquarian
curiosity to-day, and the fitting w^orkshop for many years in
after time of Albany's antiquarian, Joel Munsell. On the
north side of the street, a little above Middle lane, which we
now call James street, is the elegant new building of the New
York State Bank, with the gold eagles on the front — a fitting
promise, kept for all these years, of the golden returns which
its successful management would shower upon the fortunate
stockholders. This bank was the second in the city; and this
building, especially erected for banking })urposes, has been so
used by the bank since May 10, 1804, and is the oldest build-
ing contiiuiously used as a banking house in the United States.
We will quickly pass by Balthazar Lydius' house on the 'cor-
ner of State and North Pearl, thankful if the irate and irasci-
9
ble old Dutchman don't shoot at us from his second-story
window, where he usually sat smoking his pipe ; and crossing
(State street, we notice that Washington, or Houth Pearl street,
was then but eleven and one-half feet wide — just a passage-
way between the buildings east and west — and closed with a
wooden gate, probably to keep out the cattle that might- stray
from the farms lying to the south. On this side of the street
the most notable dwellings w^ere the Stevenson House, built
after a modern model, and the Wendell House, built after the
Dutch model, witli steps on the roof, going up to fhe peak,
that the owner could arrange the weather-cock, so that the
wind might blow" to his liking ; and these buildings are still
remembered by many of the present generation.
But the building that most interests us is the large wooden
house on the corner of Lodge and State streets, built before
the Revolution, and at one time occupied as a tavern. In this
building, on the 11th day of September, 1S1!5, Dr. Benjamin
Allen and Dr. Joseph Shaw% assisted by Dr. William Neill,
Dr. T. Romeyn Beck and Mr. Theodore Sedgwick, fonnally
opened the Albany Academy. As a student of that time pic-
tures it, it was not a very im})ressive scene. No orations were
delivered, no poems recited, no odes were sung ; and it is
doubtful if either the committee of the Faculty or of the
Trustees had the slightest conception of tlie immense influence
that day's inauguration would exert through all the coming
years, or the rei)utation and glory that would follow to the
institution itself. The committee sat around a desk in a back
room of the building, fronting on Lodge street; the boys were
brought in by their parents ; names, ages and projjosed studies
were registered ; and then, seated on the benches which had
been placed around the room, tliej^ listened to a few remarks
from the Pi'incii)al, Dr. Allen ; and the iirst day of school at
the Albany Academy was over.
As we look across the street we notice the large dwelling on
the corner of Chapel, now the residence of Mr. Erastus Corning,
but wliich at that time was occupied by that firm friend of the
Academy, Philip S, Van Rensselaer; a man whose eftorts w'ere
untiring in the cause of education, and who by his sound judg-
ment and well directed influence contributed in a degree sur-
passed by no other, not only in founding the Academy, but
10
also in procuring the beautiful location it has so long occupied.
It was fitting that as Mayor of the city he should lay the
corner-stone ; but had he not been Mayor, no truer or more
constant friend could have been selected to ])erforni so honor-
able a duty.
On the block above the Mayor s residence is the old jail, the
site now occupied by Van Vechten Hall ; but our chief con-
cern with that building lies in the fact that it is to be sold,
and its proceeds devoted to the Academy building.
We are now on the Capitol hill. Elagle street extends south
only as far as the Lancaster School, — now the Medical College ;
beyond this was a ravine three hundred and fifty feet broad
and fifty feet deep, through which flowed the Rutten Kill, the
l)leasant brook of that generation — alas ! how^ times change —
and beyond that an unbroken waste. The block now boiuided
by Eagle and Hawk and State and Lancaster was occupied as
a cemetery; and this situation for the Capitol, offered by the
city, was considered as extremely advantageous, and was de-
scribed in the following style, which is equal to any thing tliat
could be written by a reporter of to-day : " The prospect from
this place is extensive and beautiful. It goes to the north,
the east and the south, till the summits of the distant moun-
tains terminate it in the horizon. Hence the blue tops of the
Catskills are seen mingling with the clouds, and the majestic
Hudson, winding between the islands below% till the lessening
sails on the surface vanish to the eye, and above till its curv-
ing margins hide its retreating waves in the neighborhood of
Troy. The cemetery, immediately to the south, overspread
with a sheet of verdure, and a wide, opening valley beyond
it, through which a meandering rivulet runs to refresh the air,
will forever aflbrd free access to the cooling zephyrs in the
sultry season." The advantages of a cemetery so near the
Capitol are not easily com})rehended at present, as we cannot
learn that there was any ceiling in the building that was in
danger of falling.
To the north of the Capitol was the ground given for the
Academy, not yet excavated, unbroken, irregular in its sur-
face. The Common Council were doubtful if the site was suit-
able ; but the Trustees, with a far-sightedness which the pres-
ent time justifies, resolved that the site was most eligible, and
11
tliere the Academy was built. For some years after its erec-
tion tlie basement story was below the surface of the ground ;
and in 1821 it was proposed to raise by subscription the sum
of $1,000 fur the improvement of the Academy Park, and by
such improvement to render desirable for places of residence
the lots on the north of the park, which were considered as
utterly useless ; and the Trustees of the Academy generously
aided in the scheme by advertising for proposals for remov-
ing about 10,000 loads of dirt from the Academy Square to
the cor{)oration lots on Elk and Spencer streets. In later
days, a resident of Elk street, and a millionaire, became to be
almost synonymous terms ; and the thought expressed that the
location if improved as proposed " would command a most
beautiful prospect, be retired from the ordinary bustle of the
town, and combine the healthfulness of a country situation,"
received a speedy fulfilment.
We have now gone around the city in a general way, and
you have some idea as to its extent ; but its geogra})hical
lindts do not convey to you any proper conception of the gen-
erous i)lan proposed in the interests of higher education.
The city had less than 10,000 inhabitants ; there were but
1,450 houses in the town, and its municipal expenses were
about $54,000 per annum. There was not a daily paper
printed, although from two of tlie five printing offices in the
city semi-weekly papers were issued. There was not a rail-
road in the State ; all the traveling was done by stage-coach,
excepting between Albany and New York during the time of
navigation, when the steamboats math^ a trip between the two
cities in a day and a half, with a " security, convenience and
ease, wliich was unknown to the nations of Europe."
This, in brief, was the condition of att'airs when tlie city, in
1813, offered the lot on the public square and the proceeds of
the sale of the old jail for the purposes of an Academy ; and
in the person of its Mayor, on the afternoon of Saturday, July
29, 1815, laid the corner-stone of the building, which to-day
is universally considered to be one of the most beautiful l)uild-
ings we have. Dr. Benjamin Sillinian, who visited the city in
1819, says that Dr. Beck told him that the Academy cost
$90,000 before the upper rooms were finished ; this, of course,
must include the value of the ground ; and he suggests that a
12
plainer building- would have been equally useful, and thus
have left more of a fund for its support. No (h)ul)t a plainer
building- would have answered the purpose ; but the majority
of the Common Council of that day were Dutchmen, and to
them the cause of education went hand in hand with the cause
of religion — both were equally dear — the schoolmaster and
the minister were among the first settlers in a new colony ;
and with such inborn and lofty thoughts of the value of a
high academical education, it is not surprising that they
erected a building in conformity to their ideas of the great
and lasting- work that was to be done therein.*
At the first annual meeting of the Board of Trustees, held
March 23, 1813, a committee was appointed, consisting of the
Rev. Mr. Neill, the Rev. Mr. McJimpsey and the Rev. Mr.
McDonald, who were to report concerning the expediency of
commencing academic work, and of preparing a plan of the
line of study to be pursued. They submitted a report propos-
ing that the Academy should consist of five departments or
distinct schools, but that for the present two departments,
the classical and mathematical, would be all that would be
necessary. The classical list contained more authors than was
required by the catalogue of Union College for 1812 ; and in
order that a scholar s time might be fully occupied, pleasant
little exercises were api)ointed for every (Saturday, either
speaking selections from English, Latin or Greek authors, or
recitations in the Evidences of Natural or Revealed Religion.
The report also recommended that the salaries of the teachers
should be liberal and promptly paid, and that the rules of
discipline should be practicable and reasonable, aud whatever
penalty was attached to their infraction, should be inflexibly
inflicted without passion and without partiality.
The hours of attendance in the summer were to be from six
to eight o'cock, and nine to twelve in the forenoon, and from
two to five in the afternoon, and in the winter from eight to
twelve in the forenoon, and from two to five in the afternoon.
This would not suit the yoiuig men of the present day who
complain of a session of five hours a day, while they have all
Saturday for a holiday ; and I think the teachers would also

copies of tlie reNoluiions of the Common Council relating to the building. Ajjpen-
dix C contains an account of tlie sale of the old gaul property.
13
complain of siicli lon^'- daily sessions. But when we find that
the report only reconiniended four weeks' vacation in the sum-
mer, I am sure that the teachers would complain because of
the necessity that is laid upon almost every teacher now-a-
days, to visit Europe during the summer vacation. For all this
instruction it was recomniende<l that the rate of tuition should
not be above five dollars a quarter, nor less than four.
As the Academy did not go into operation until more than
two years after the date of tliis report, its recommendations
were not followed, e.vept perhaps on the })oint of liberal
salaries; for it is worthy of note that the lirst {)rincipal was
offered a salary of 62, 500 jier year — a very large salary for
the time, and greater, 1 imagine, than any clergyman in the
city then received.*
While the Trustees felt that the corporation had acted in
the most enlightened and praiseworthy manner in what they
had done towards the establishment of the institution, yet they
also felt that it was absolutely essential that funds should be
secured which would furnish a permanent yearly income for
the employment of teachers of eminent ability ; that being, in
their opinion, the only means of rendering the Academy
superior in its reputation and beneficial effects to ordinary
schools. To accomplish this end, at the same meeting of the
Board to which we have referred, a committee of the Trustees,
consisting of John M. Bradford, Henry Walton, Theodore
Sedgwick and John V. Henry addressed a circular to the citi-
zens of Albany and its vicinity, setting forth tlie desire of the
Trustees as to the character and standing of the school and
the claims that sound knowledge should have, to the zealous
and liberal support of parents and guardians, and of all who
look upon it as one of the great (causes of morality, piety and
usefulness of cliaracter. But they presented the subject also in
another view, which is so novel and yet so very true, even at
this day, that we will present the views of the committee in
hopes that their arguments being found unanswerable by the
present generation, may bring forth fruit after these many
years. We shall take it for granted, the committee say, that
tlie yearly exyiense of educating a boy from home is at least
$250, and that not less than four years must be spent abroad
* Appendix 1> contains this report in lull.
14
for that purpose. Suppose a subscriber to the funds of the
Academy to give $500. The account in favor of education at
home, for that period, would stand thus :
Principal sum expended abroad $1,000 00
Interest on §250 from tlie time of payment, say
8, 2 and 1 years 105 00
$1,105 00
Subscription §500 00
Interest thereon for 4 years 140 00
Tuition money to the Academy at $20 a year 80 00
Interest on $20 from the time of payment, say 8,
2 and 1 years 8 40
$728 40
Making a clear saving of $376 60
The additional cost of subsistence at home is not taken into
the account, as it would be more than counterbalanced by
traveling charges, extraordinary pocket money, more cost in
dress, etc.
The sum just stated would be the saving in the education
of one boy ; but upon every other boy to be educated, it is
clear that the principal expenditure of $1,000, deducting the
tuition money, would be saved.
In the education of three sons, a parent would thus avoid in
four years an expenditure of $2,199.*
The conmiittee appointed to solicit subscriptions were era-
powered by the Board to leave it discretionary with the sub-
scribers either to }>ay the subscription money, or to give satis-
factory security for the payment thereof at such time as each
subscriber shall think proper, with lawful interest, payable
yearly. And the committee may further leave it discretionary
with each subscriber, in case the whole amount of subscriptions
shall not exceed $80,000, to reduce or withdraw his subscription.
But on the 30th of July, 1813, a report was made to the
Board that the individual subscriptions amounted to only
$3,150, and even that amount was considered uncertain, being

15
subject to such iilterations as the subscribers nuiy tliink ])r()per
to make, in case tlie wliole of the subs('riptiollr^ shall not amount
to $80,()0().
There appears to have been made no further effort at that
time to ol)tain funds ; but at a meeting held July 6, 1814, Messrs.
Charles D. Cooper and Theodore Sedgwick, of the Board of
Trustees, were appointed a committee for soliciting further
subscriptions from the citizens to aid in the erection of an
Academy, and on the 1st of November, 1814, they reported
that the amount they had j)rocured to be subscribed was $300,
and of this sum $85 was paid, wliich was deposited in the
hands of John W. Yates, the Treasurer of the Board ; and the
committee suggested that in their opinion it was inexpedient
at present to attempt to procure any further subscriptions.
Some further subscriptions must have been obtained within
the year, for the Treasurer in his communication to tlie Board,
dated November 7, 1815, reports that the sums in his hands
subscribed by individuals in cash and notes, amounts to
$6,089.40, and after that time the work appears to liave been
continued until 1821, when no further effort was made, and
the total amount of subscri])tions paid and unpaid amounted to
$9,665.*
There are but three institutions in this city that are contem-
poraneous with the charter granted to the Albany Academy,
and these are the New York State Bank, the Albany Insur-
ance Company and the Mechanics and Farmers' Bank: and
with all of these institutions the Academy has had a vital and
persoiuil interest. John W. Yates, the first cashier of the New
York State Bank, was the first Treasurer of the Academy, and
that bank was the first custodian of the funds of the institu-
tion. His son, Richard Yates, was, upon the death of his
father, elected cashier of the bank and Treasurer of the
Academy, and the ofiiceof the Treasurer has also IxM^n filled by
Aaron D. Patchin and Josiah B. Pluml), both of them cashiers
of the bank.
The Albany Insurance Company issued the policy that was
first placed on the new Academy building; and to-day it ]»ro-
tects it with a jiromise to l)ay, that has never beiMi <lishoiioied
in all the years of its existence.
• Appendix F contains the list of subscribers to this fund.
16
When we speak the name of the Mechanics and Farmers
Bank, we instinctively associate witli it the name of Thomas'
W. Olcott, that able financier who was for so many years its
President, and the founder of its success and fume ; and so we
become in some measure connected with the l)ank, because he
was a Trustee of the Academy. He gave to this institution
the benefit of his large experience, his sound business views
and his remarkable sagacity. He planned wisely and liber-
ally for it in all its iiiterests ; he was its unflinching supporter
in its dark days, and its firm friend at all times. He occupied
a seat in this Board for forty-four years, and his length of
service has been exceeded by that of only one other Trustee,
General Peter Gansevoort, who served this institution with
whole-hearted, generous zeal for fifty-one years, twenty-one of
which he was the honored presiding officer of the Board.
As soon as the Academy had well commenced its sessions,
the Trustees enacted that there should be tw^o public examina-
tions every year, and at the close of the examination at the
end of the year the Trustees would give tokens of approbation
to those students who had distinguished themselves by scholar-
ship and good conduct. Under this resolution, the first public
examination took place on the 29th of July, 1816, attended by
a committee of the Board of Trustees, composed of the Rev.
Dr. John McDonald, John V. Henry, Rev. Dr. John M. Brad-
ford, Harmanus Bleecker and Dr. T. Ronieyn Beck; and on
the 14th day of August, at nine o'clock in the morning, the first
public exercises were held in the Senate chamber in the Capi-
tol. These consisted of an address to the students by the
Hon. Stephen Van Rensselaer, and the distribution of certifi-
cates, in conformity to the report of the commitTee who had
attended the examination. There was no public sjteaking by
the students on that occasion, and we do not find that they
took any part whatever in the proceedings.
The first printed programme we can find of these closing
exercises as they were then called — we used to call them exhi-
bitions — the Academy boys of to-day call them commencement
exercises — is that of July 27, 1820; and it would seem that
the boys of the present day have the right name, for the occa-
sion must have created as much of a gala day for Albany, as
does the college commencement in a college town. The Trus-
17
tees assembled at Skiiiiiei'''s Maussiou House at 9 o'clock in tlie
luoi'iiiug, at which phice tliev invited to meet tliem the Honor-
able the ('oi'iKtvatioii, the Rcitents of the University, the
parents and gar(Jians of students and citizens and strangers
generally. At the same hour the students were to assemble at
the Academy, and then march to the Mansion House. On
arriving tliere, a i»rocession was formed, and headed by a band
of music, and escorted by the students, the Faculty, Trustees
and invited guests, marched through Market street and up
State street to the Capitol. There twenty-one young men
delivered select pieces of prose and poetry ; Howard Stansbury
gave the introductory address in Latin; (ieorge W. Clinton,
afterwards Judge of the tSupreme Court, Regent of the Univer-
sity, and Vice-Chancellor of the Board of Regents, spoke on
"(leraldiue ; " Orlando Meads had for his subject "The
Splendor of War an Obstacle to its Extinction." Stephen
Crroesbeeck, John McD. M(-lntyre and John V. Henry were
also among those who appeared before the distinguished audi-
ence of men seated in the body of the Senate chamber, and
charmed the ladies who honored the occasion with their })res-
ence, and for whom, according to the programme, seats in the
gallery were especially reserved.*
We can never meet to celebrate an anniversary of the
Academy without l)ringing to mind those three men, who for
so nuiny years labored in its behalf that they became almost
to be considered as the Academy personified — 1 refer to Dr.
Beck, Dr. Bullions and Dr. Ten Eyck. It is now forty years
since Dr. Beck resigned the ofiice of Principal ; but notwith-
standing the lapse of time, his work is still remembered and
a})i»reciated, and the old boys when they talk together of old
times have many i>leasant reminiscences to relate concerning
him. For there was a buoyancy and good nature about him
that endeared him to all liis scholars; lie enjoyed fun, and
was always ready to perpetrate a joke ; and even if he did
punctuate liis joke, after his peculiar fashion, his hearty laugh
or his quaint remark would so ease the smart that the stroke
w^as only considered as the pith of the joke and a part of the
pleasantry. 'He was just, fair and generous ; when occasion

deniandod it, severe and stern ; but an ordinarily well-Vieliaved
and studious i)U[)il was always a[)pre('iated, and never had any
reason to complain of him, and always found him a true friend,
ready and willin>,'- to assist, even in after years, by his counsel
and his intluence. His ways were well suited to his times ;
but were the Trustees to ado})t similar methods to-day, they
would be overwhelmed by the storm of indi^niation that would
be i)oured \i\Hm them by the indignant mothers of this city,
and would soon find themselves in the position of endeavoring
to carry on a school without any pu})ils ; for the whole system
of education, both in discipline, method and scope, have
greatly changed since some of us were Academy boys. The
coat of arms of tlie former schoolmaster — the crimson shield,
signifying gore, upon which is emblazoned the figure of a boy
rampant, with the hand of one unseen holding him in posi-
tion, while above, as a crest, are two rattans crossed — all this
has passed into oblivion. No coat of arms is now needed to
designate the office ; for the intluence of tlie school is but the
continuation of the influence of the home — the discipline of the
school is but tlie extension of the government of the home ;
and parents who desire their sons to be brought u}) to lo\e
honor, truth and manliood more than any thing else, will iind
in the Albany Academy of to-day the greatest help to such
high-moral tone and })ur[)0se.
But great lustre was reflected on this institution by Dr.
Beck's reputation as a scientific man ; it was his especial ]:)ride,
and the time he devoted to its interests can only be a})precia-
ted by those who have examined the careful, comi)lete and
painstaking records he has left of his administration.
Dr. Bullions was a classical scliolar without a peer, and his
acquaintance with the Latin and Greek languages was thorough,
comprehensive and exact. His method of teaching would per-
haps be called old-fashioned in the present day, but the schol-
ars he turned out were well grounded in the i)rinciples, and
had a satisfactory knowledge of the structure of the language.
His system was founded in a comi)lete mastery of the gram-
mar, and his scholars w^ere daily drilled in rules of syntax and
construction. So thoroughly were They equipjjed in this
respect, that I have known young men entering college who
knew the grammar almost by heart in all its exceptions and
19
irregularities. It was mainly due to his thoroughness as a
teacher, that the Academy, so early in its history, took such a
high stand as a classical school ; and its position as such was
increased and sustained by the classical publications he edited,
which were very generally adopted by the schools through-
out the country, and were the means of bringing the Academy
to the notice of professors and teachers, and so showing the ad-
vantages a scholar would enjoy of having his classical education
formed and directed by such a renowned aiid competent master.
Dr. Ten Eyck was a student of the Academy under Dr.
Beck, and in 18H2 was called to the chair of Mathenuitics and
Natural Philosophy, made vacant l)y the resignation of Prof.
Josei)h Henry. To him mathematics was a plain subject, more
easily com})rehended, perhaps, than ex}»lained ; and so it some-
times happened that the value of " X " was not ahvays as clear
to his pupils as it was to him. Nevertheless he w'as a teacher
possessing great philosophical and scientific attainments, and
the student who was desirous to learn, found in him a
thoroughly able and competent instructor. Perhajjs our boy-
ish feeling towards him was, on the whole, inimical, yet we
love him now for the enemies he made then, and we tender
him our heartiest congratulations, that he has been permitted
to see this anniversary of the institution to which he gave his
most matured powers, and in whose welfare he always mani-
fested the deepest interest.
iSo many years have elapsed since ])r. Beck resigned the
})rincipalship of the Academy, that we who remember him at
all, will have to own that more than half a century has passed
over our heads. Yet there are some still connected with the
institution who remember him when he first assumed his
office in 1817, and such an one is Dr. Thomas Hun; and I am
sure that an occasion like this will be a sufficient justification
for any personal allusion such a fact might call forth. Dr.
Hun entered the Academy in 1817, became one of its Trustees
in 1852, and is now the honored President of the Board. To
him the office of Trustee has never been simply a position of
honor. He has given to the interests of the Academy liis best
thought, his most matured and deliberate conviction, his most
careful judgment; and while tli(^ institution might well be
proud to place on its Board of Trustees a name that for so
20
many generations has been identitio<l with tlie best interests of
this city, it is a source of greater congratuhition that tlie honor
the name has conferred has been supplemented and increased
by liis most earnest efforts for the well-being and advancement
of the interests of the Academy. Kind, yet fearless in the
discharge of his duty, with patience hearing the views of
otliers, yet with modest gentleness of speech, but with a com-
prehensive grasp of the subject-matter, sliowing at the close of
the discussion the true course to be pursued — hating shams of
of all sorts, both in principles and men, and jMincturing with
quiet sarcasm every bubble of flimsy and i)retentiou.s excuse —
this Board of Trustees feel that they ought at this time, to
acknowledge publicly, the great debt the Academy owes to
the President of the Board, and how securely they have rested
on his matured judgment and on his unerring sagacity.
But time will not permit me to give a further account of the
interesting matters connected with the early history of the
Academy ; nor is there any need that I should do so. This has
been already done, and by one far more competent than I am.
At the time of the semi-centennial anniversary this task was
conmiitted to able hands ; and the graceful pen of Orlando
Meads, guided by his loving heart, depicted this early history
for us — tlie difficulties that surrounded the beginning of the
work, and the courage and perseverance by which those dilti-
culties were overcome. No better selection for historian could
have been made. His connection with the Academy began
W'hen, as a boy, he was registered in the first class formed in the
old wooden building on the corner of State and Lodge streets, to
which I have referred ; and it closed with his life, after a ser-
vice in the Board of Trustees of thirty-seven years, the last
three of which he was presiding officer of the Board. Per-
haps future investigation may add somettiing to the facts he
then brought before us ; but no one could have given to those
early times more carefvil consideration, or devoted to them
more willingly the study such investigations required. A cul-
tivated scholar, a courteous gentleman, a consistent Christian,
in all his walk through life and in his dealings with men, he
received the respect that such sterling characteristics always
obtain ; and the Academy considers itself honored that such
a man was educated witliin its walls.
21
My task is to deal with the history of the last twenty-tive
years ; this begins with the exercises of the senii-ceiiteniiial
anniversary, which was tlie close of Principal Murray's con-
nection with the school. The end crowned the work; for the
years of his administration had been marked with great suc-
cess, both as regards the inimbers attending the school, and
as regards the high standard of study pursued ; and under his
nu\nagement the re])utation of the Academy was not only sus-
tained, but greatly increased and extended. But Rutgers
College was as cognizant, as were the Trustees of the Academy,
of his intellectual qualifications and administrative abilities,
aiul invited him to the chair of Mathematics, which invitation,
to the great regret of all connected with the Academy, he
accepted. The only thing that made our loss easier to bear, —
for we felt it for some years, — was that the em})ire of Japan
called him away from the college and placed him at the head
of their educational system, the old empire thus honoring the
new republic and the Albany Academy. When his work in
Japan was finished, by none was he more cordially welcomed
to his old home than by the Trustees of the Academy, who
hastened to avail themselves of his judgment and educational
experience by electing him for a second time to a seat in the
Board.
After the resignation of Principal Murray, the affairs of the
Academy began to decline ; a decline gradual it is true, but
nevertheless clearly nu^rked. We deal with this simply as a
fact, without seeking to enquire as to the causes. About the
year 1870, the attendance at the Academy was smaller than
ever it had been known to be in all its history.
Home of the Trustees became greatly discouraged, and con-
sidered that the days of the Academy were numbered, and
that no future of usefulness remained for it. It was even i)ro-
posed that the Academy should be turned over to the city for
the purposes of a High School, that its history should be ended,
and that the Trustees should in that way be relieved of their
onerous duties. But others in the Board thought differently ;
tViey were likewise disheartened, but not in despair, and with
a courage founded on a conviction of future success still being
in store for the old institution, re<piested General John F.
Hatlibonc; to seek advice and hel}) from that wise and discreet
22
man, PresidcTit Anderson, of Rochester University. After a
cavefiil consideration of the sitnation by him, and on his
reconinuMuhition, the i)Osition of Principal was offered to
Merrill Edwards Gates, then just gradnating with high honors
from the university, Mr. Gates came to look over the field ;
the Trustees with full frankness, explained the condition of
affairs just as they were, concealing nothing, but at the same
time giving full weight to the fact of the high position the
Academy had once held, and the possibility of regaining this
position under careful management, and with a high grade of
scholarship. Mr. Gates, after careful reflection, concluded to
accept the i)Osition with a clear knowledge of the amount of
work that would be required to achieve success, and a deter-
mination to do that work thorouglily, conscientiously, unre-
mittingly.
It often seemed to the Trustees that the will power and
energy that characterized his work would result in physical
failure ; but his pluck and his grit won the day, and these
qualities, guided by sound judgement, discriminating discre-
tion, and a conscientious desire to obtain real results rather
than showy appearances, rescued the Academy from the hole
of the })it into which it had fallen, and placed its feet once
more upon a rock.
During the twelve years Principal Gates presided over the
institution, he introduced new features in the course and
method of instruction which tended to restore the Academy to
its old prestige and renown. A Primary de])artment for
younger boys was formed, thus giving under one plan and
system of instruction the whole educational course pre[)aratory
to college, so affording an unbroken school life under home
influence ; while in the later years of the course a system of
written examinations was introduced that fostered so high a
grade of scholarshiii, that for many years no student from the
Academy was conditioned on his entrance into any college.
A practical Chemical laboratory was fitted uj) with accommo-
dations for twenty-five boys, where every student with his
own apparatus, under the direction of the professor in charge,
performed all the experiments of the course. A library of
reference books was connnenced, which was always open to all
the students, and 1lic spirit of investigation and exact infor-
28
matioii was thus nurtured and assisted, and by the large col-
lection of [photographs made by the Principal, the works of
art and the classical views of the j>ast were made more real to
the mind than any mere description could possibly do. The
French language was also made of practical use by teaching
Physics from French text-books. These were some of the
reforms instituted, and the ap})reciation of the work done was
shown by the new incentives offered. William Alvord, of
San Francisco, an old Academy boy, donated a fund, the
interest from which furnishes the Alvord Penmanship Medal ;
Mrs. Howard Townsend gave the Howard Townsend French
Medal, and Gen. Peter Gransevoort left, by his will, a fund to
provide for the Gansevoort Essay Medal ; Gen. John F.
Rathbone gave the Rathbone Military Medal ; Charles Van
Benthuysen, Maurice E. Viele, Company A, 10th Regiment,
Erastus Corning and Robert Lenox Banks at various times
gave the Second Military Medal, and latterly Mrs. Abraham
Lansing, in memory of her brother, Henry S. Gansevoort, gave
a medal for the smaller cadets.
And this leads me to speak of the military drill, which was
also one of the plans proposed, to add to the number of stu-
dents, and to increase the interest in the Academy. This sub-
ject had before been brought to the attention of the Trustees
by the offer of a Mr. Carter to give instruction in military ex-
ercises; this was probably between the years 1820 and IblJO;
but as his offer cannot be found, it is impossible to say just
when it was made, or the nature of the instruction intended to
be given ; nor do the minutes disclose that any action of the
Trustees was taken upon the offer. In a paper on " Military
Drill in Colleges and Academies," read before the University
Convocation in 1883 b}- Dr. Edward P. Waterbury, President
of the State Normal School, it is stated that the earliest ap-
proach to military drill in the Academy was in 1830, when an
expatriated Pole acted as drill sergeant. He tauglit the posi-
tion of the soldier, the facings and marching; the boys were
neither uniformed or armed, and order w^as maintained by
Joseph Henry, one of the Faculty, and afterwards the Secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington.
It might be supposed that this military organization was the
result of tlie offer of Mr. Carter, referred to, were it not that
24
Mr. Carter could hardly be considered an ex})atriated Pole ;
while the further difficulty, mentioned in the paper, "that the
old boys could only remember an occasional syllable of his
name, but thought that it ended in a sneeze," would hardly be
applicable to so plain a name as Carter. kSo that it is impossi-
ble to say whether the offer of Mr. Carter was. an original offer,
or whether it was made simply as a continuance of the instruc-
tion already introduced.
During the time of the late war, when the military spirit
took possession of every one, the boys of the Academy formed
a battalion under the command of Charles E. Snuth, as major,
now the editor of the Philadelphia Press. The battalion wore
no uniform but a military cap, and had neither equipments,
guidons or colors. Nevertheless, they attained a good pro-
ficiency in the manual of arms and in marching, and many a
member left the ranks of the battalion to join the army, fight-
ing for the Union.
But the organization now proposed was of a different nature
and to be placed on a different basis ; it was to be a part of
the school life; not elective or discretionary, but just as com-
pulsory as the educational side of the school ; in fact, it was
proposed to make it a department of physical education, and
its claims were to be held as binding as those of the depart-
ment of mental education.
The Trustees who were particularly active in proposing this
plan were Gen. John F. Rathbone, Dr. Edward P. Waterbury
and Principal Grates ; and they jtresented the subject to the
other members of the Board with such power of argument,
cogency of reason and persistency of purpose, that they dis-
armed all serious opposition, even if they were not successful
in producing absolute conviction ; and by a unanimous vote of
the Board, the experiment was entered upon, and in Novem-
ber, 1870, the battalion of the Albany Academy Cadets was
formed, with Rufus K. Townsend as its flrst major.
This was a new departure in the history of the Academy,
and it certainly has proved to be a most advantageous one. It
has been the means of increasing the number of students in
the institution, and its beneficial intiuences were at once seen
in the manly and self-possessed bearing of the students them-
selves. And it is in this development of noble qualities that
25
the success of the experiment chiefly lies ; for military drill
cultivates obedience and i)romptness ; produces respect for
authority, and engenders willingness to yield to it ; teaches
how to connnand without offensive superiority, and how to be
commanded without loss of spirit. It creates the feeling that
the cadet gray nnist not be disgraced by mean or despicable
actions, and so promotes that best tyjie of school spirit, which
is the foundation of those gentlemanly qualities we would like
to have our boys possess. By cai'eful and constant traiiung,
it also greatly adds to their physical development; makes
them erect, full-chested and nniscular, and masters of their
legs and arms; so that a finer body of young men cannot be
found than the members of the Albany Academy Cadet bat-
talion. And our citizens take a sincere and hearty interest in
them — the fathers observing them on parades witii an honest
and proper pride, and the mothers and sisters encouraging them
by their gifts of flags and guidons, embroidered mul painted.
The military organizations watch with a criTical eye the
manoeuvres of this corps of young soldiers, and greet with
generous applause their success in the manual of arms, and
their proflciency in military movements.
Even the executives of this State have not deemed it beneath
their dignity as commanders-in-cliief of the National Guard, to
review them on dress ])ar<ide, or to accept of them as tlieir
escort when called in a military capacity to other parts of the
State ; and have shown by their personal gifts their interest in
the organization, and their appreciation of their services.
The Albany Academy Cadet battalion is a success from every
point of view, and the honor of its success belongs to those who
so patieJitly i)erfected the j»lan of its organization, and who so
perserveringly carried it out.
But wliile the Academy was under such satisfactory
management, Rutgers College once more api)eared ui)on the
scene, and ort'ered tlie vacant presidency to Princii)al Gates.
President Campbell, who IkkI just resigned, was a former
Principal of the Academy, and the successor of Dr. Beck; and
now the Trustees of the college turn again to the Academy,
to furnish tliem with another ])resident.
The Trustees of the Academy fully appreciated the compli-
ment so delicately paid to their wiscknn and ability in select-
26
iiij!^'' coiiipetent men for their iiistituticni ; but at the same time
they could not help thinking'' tluit such attentions were becom-
ing a little monotonous, not to say tiresome. However, the
position offered was one of such honorable dignity that
Principal Gates concluded to acce])t it, and in accepting his
resignation, the Trustees recorded their aj^preciation of him
and of his services in the following grateful words: "And
the Trustees assure the retiring Principal, that having more
than justified their expectations when they called him to the
charge of the Academy, he carries with him their most cordial
and confident hopes of his usefulness and happiness in the
high station to which he goes ; and that lie leaves behind the
memory of twelve years' intercourse, persoiud and official, with
the members of this Board, of unbroken harmony, of entire
confidence, and of unmixed pleasure, of which they can truly
say that its termination furnishes the first and only element of
pain."
The Trustees then selected Dr. James M. Cassety as the suc-
cessor to Principal Gates. He had been very successful in
Normal School work, and had achieved an honorable reputa-
tion in this State for the discretion, sound judgment and execu-
tive ability he had shown under circumstances that called forth
the fullest exercise of these qualities. His administration of
the affairs of the Academy was marked by the same character-
istics, but the conditions of the work w'ere different, an<l were
not as congenial to his tastes. The teaching of boys who
require constant supervision and restraint, was totally unlike
the guiding of those who have chosen the profession of teach-
ing for their life work ; and his training led him to })refer to be
a teacher of teachers, rather than a teacher of youth. Accept-
ing the call he had received to take charge of the Normal
(School, at Buffalo, he resigned his position as Principal of the
Academy, followed by the best wishes of the Board of Trus-
tees for his success in his new field of labor.
I have now brought this history down to the present time,
and })erhaps delicacy would advise that I stop right here ; for
Principal Warren being in the harness, would make no boast
of his success, as those can do wlio have put it off', nor would
he be willing that 1 should make any boast for him. So I
shall say nothing for him, but simply make this statement on
27
behalf of the Board of Trustees, that they consider themselves
extremely fortunate that they were enabled to ])er.suade him
to take charg'e of the Academy, and that they firmly believe
that they have not only the right man in the right place, but
that under his administration the success of the Academy in
the future Avill be even brighter than it has been in the past.
When Principal Warren was looking over the ground before
deciding on the position that had been tendered to him, he
asked the committee this question : What assurance have you
that the citizens of Albany will continue to support the
Academy as they have done all these years ?
I must confess that that question had never occurred to me.
I had never for a moment thought that Albanians would sutfer
to languish an institution that had for so many years occupied
such a prominent position in their midst, so long as it continued
to offer the highest educational advantages ; nor did I believe
that the old Academy had so slight a hold on the afifection and
consideration of the army of men who once as boys were within
its walls, that they would permit it to go down while they
could extend the help that would save it. And now that
Principal Warren has been here a little more than a year, I do
not believe he would ask that question, or if he did, he would
answer it himself, as he recalls the many cordial greetings lie
has received from the old boys, and the pride they have
unconsciously shown, as they have told him of the former days
when they were pupils in this institution.
I said in the beginning that the Albany Academy was three
score and ten and more, and still active and able to do good
work; and the same Scripture that gives me this familiar
nomenclature, gives also the reason why we are still able to do
good work â €” it is by reason of strength. (Strength because of
the solid, substantial, life enduring work that is done ;
strength in tlie character of the men, who as boys were edu-
cated here ; strength in the love and pride that you all feel
in the old institution in its character, standing and success.
So the past and the present come in to strengthen for the
future ; and we upon whose shoulders rests the res})onsibility
of its present majiagement, have determined to carry out the
meaning of tlie words of tlie propliet, that "the glory of the
latter house shall be greater tliaii of the former."
28
Tlie riiairinau then iiitroducefl the poet of the evening, Mr.
William H. McElroy, of New York.
Before reading his poem, Mr, McElroy said that he felt some
embarrassment in presenting any poetical thoughts l)efore
this audience, ])articularly as he noticed among his hearers his
former teacher and old friend Dr. Murray ; and that this em-
barrassment arose from the way in which Dr. Murray had
treated some of his poetical thoughts when he was under him
in the Academy.
It was one of the duties of the boys to write compositions at
regular intervals. It had come in due course to be my turn, and
I had written an elaborate account of the Duke of Wellington,
who had died a few years before. I ended up the recital by
saying that, " the rains of only three summers had fallen on
his grave." I thought that was a very pretty and striking
way to put it, and I was rather proud of my performance.
Mr. Murray, however, had very little mercy for me, for in
examining the composition he said, " Mr. McElroy, this is all
wrong; the Duke of Wellington was buried in iSt. Paul's
Cathedral, out of the rain."
He then read the followius" :
OUR MOTHER'S APRON STRINGS.
I.
A pilgrim comes, with eyes that flash and till,
To the fair temple crowning yonder hill,
"Where Learning's torch, a beatific sight.
Beams with unwavering and increasing light ;
With the old love that never faints nor fails.
The loyal son his mighty mother hails.
And joys to think that though her boys grow old
Her age is evermore the age of gold :
Time conquers us but yields to her, foi'sooth,
A goddess dowered with immortal youth !
With (juickened pulse the pensive pilgrim strays
'Neath academic shades — the well-worn ways,
Hither and thither moves with glowing face
And fondly marks each well-remembered place.
Here is the room wherein, with many a sigh.
He looked for Z urged on by X and Y ;
29
Here saw great C-Bsar, at amV)ition's call.
Force frequent wormwood down the throat of (xaul ;
Across the hall with classic zeal he seeks
The desk that knew him when he met the Greeks ;
When peei'less Helen — sweet but not too coy —
With Paris morals forced the sieg-e of Troy ;
At yonder portal Science stops the way,
" Tis consecrated ground," he hears hei' say.
" Here Henry niiised, and scorned the skeptic's laugh,
My fa\oi-ite child I christened Telegi-aph" —
Hail, Joseph Heni-y, with his soul of tire,
Who scaled Fame's battlements with just a wire !
Upstairs the pilgrim lists for echoes shrill.
Which still must linger o'er that classic hill ;
Aye, shrill the echoes that we weekly woke
As prose and vei'se impressively we spoke ;
The ail- seems vocal with each well-woi-n line,
Once inoi'e he's born at Bingen on the Rhine ;
Once more he sup2)licates, 'mid wild applause,
Heai" me, ye Romans, heai* me for my cause ;
Once more he sights that most distressing wreck —
O, broiling boy, that trod the burning deck I
Once moi-e he revels in that afternoon,
A jocund day of gay, entrancing June.
When ail the class — 0, 'twas a halcyon time —
One after one declaimed the self-same rhyme ;
At each encore the tutor madder grew.
But bit his lij) and calmly heard us through ;
He felt we loved the poem — he told us so. —
'Twas dear old Linden when the sun was low !
So thi'ough the rooms the loving pilgrim strays,
O'ercome with visions of the vanished days.
Recalls the comrades of each vivid scene.
Those still (.n guai-d and those beneath the green ;
And while the bells of memory softlj' chime
He sets their music to a bii-thday rhyme ;
And this the little song he fervent sings,
Pledged to the toast : Our Mother's Api-on Strings.
II.
What's longer than Art when Art's at her longest?
What's sti-onger than oak when oak's at its strongest?
What in all the wide world, whale'ei- may l)etide,
Is longer and stronger than all else beside i
30
Pray read nie the riddle, or make you surmise,
But lo, as I sjieak how you talk with your eyes :
Naught's longer or stronger, you tell one another,
Than the strings of the apron that's worn by our mother !
They are longer than Art, for knowledge shall fail.
But Love shall abide, though the planets grow pale ;
And Love, who us school boys together here brings,
Is the twister that twisted these wonderful strings !
There's a great, flowing girdle which Puck in his mirth
Lets loose when he'd lasso the swift- bounding Earth,
But the strings of this apron, which round us entwine.
Have a length quite eclipsing that much vaunted line.
For, ! if, perchance, in a furthermost sphere
Some high-hearted schoolmate looks down on us here,
His smiles and his teai-s tender blending but teach
That the wonderful strings have a measureless reach !
They are strong as they're long ; lo ! the oak will decay,
Or the woodman you pray to to spare it says — nay ;
Other strings will unravel, will break or will fray.
Will snap, or at best will in time wear away.
The anchor chain i-usts, the sea cable parts.
E'en the bond has been burst that encircles twin hearts,
But the strings of this apron the years have defied.
They hold us more firmly each day they are tied !
IIL
The song is done, anci with a half-breathed sigh
The pilgrim lingers for a fond good-bye.
*' Boys," says our mother, "e'er you go away
Is there no favor you would ask to-day ? "
*' Yes," cry we all, " unfohl a priceless truth —
"Where shall we find the fabled Font of Youth 1
We who to thee have ever faithful clung
"Would be like thee — would be foi-ever young."
And lo ! the mother, having softly smiled,
"Whisjiers to each " Still, still, you're l)ut a chihi ;
They are the free whose freedom comes from Truth.
And they the young whom Learning crowns with Ynuth.
The fal)led font ? 'Tis like the golden grail.
Who seek it far and wide shall surely fail :
Poor Ponce de Leon with his haunting eyes.
How vain his wanderings 'neath the southern skies !
The boon he missed I freely give to you —
I touch your foreheads with the magic dew."
31
IV.
Farewell, dear mother, niayst thou flourish still
Till Time's last sunset fades from yonder hill ;
And let thy quenchless torch, a Heaven-lit ray,
Shine more and more on to the perfect day !
Then followed a serenade by the orchestra, after wliich Dr.
Merrill Edwards Gates, President of Rutgers College and a
former Principal of the Academy, delivered the following
oration :
82
ORATION.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends and Students of Uie Academy :
The finest flavors of life and its most satisfying enjoyments
we often miss entirely because we do not understand that we
have them for the taking. The beautiful landscape which you
long to see as you read of the traveler who found it in a distant
land, you may have for a walk or drive to the park that just
below us on its eastern bank overhangs our noble Hudson.
The hero whose courage fires your heart when yon read of his
exploits, has his equal among the men you have known who
once wore the blue ; perhaps in your neighbor and friend, if
you open your eyes to see what he has Ixirne and overcome.
The same perfect, self-devoting love which charms us in poetry
and romance may pour out its whole life npon us, quietly bless-
ing us without our discerning it, unless our eyes are opened.
The V)eauty and the poetry of our every-day life may be as rich
and full as we have heart to make it and eyes to see it. For,
" the actual well seen is the ideal ;" and the wise and the ha}»py
are those who see most and enjoy most in their daily surround-
ings.
To see clearly the essential nature and the true value of our
immediate surroundings, to know the possibilities for good of
our every-day friends and our every-day life, is a great
gain.
Anniversaries Rkveal the Ideal in Our Daily Surround-
ings.
Anniversaries help to reveal to us the trutli in these matters.
They reveal to us beauty and power and the finest possibilities
for good in the persons and the surroundings to whose real
significance we have been blind.
33
What father has not seen a new radiance of spiritual beauty
in the maidenly face of his daughter, when her birthday re-
minded him that she was now
"Htandin<j with reluctant feet
Whei-e the Ijrook and i-iver meet,
Womanhood and childhood fleet '. "
However faithfully a husband rherislies the wife whose
presence at his side sweetens life and continually strengtliens
his heart for life's labors, there is a new, an added sense of her
worth and preciousness, when the anniversary of her we(hling
day comes round, and all tlieir past love and their united ex-
perience of life, like an Indian summer haze, lends a calm
beauty to her face that transligurecj the time-touched features
and is more calmly satisfying than the remembered beauty of
her spring-time, as he looks into
"A beauteous face, in whic^h there meet
Fair records, pi-omises as sweet."
And just so the keener sense of hurrying time and rapid
change which a father's or a mother's birthday will suggest to
loving children, often flashes into the consciousness a truer
vision of the pure essential nature of parenthood, a stronger
emotion of filial love and a truer appreciation of filial duties.
As time hurries us on in the journey of life, on anniversary
days such as this, on these lialts and camping-grounds on
points of vantage where the view over the stages we have
traveled in the past, is clear, and nuMuory is vivid, tliere come
to us our truest tluuights of what has been, our clearest visions
of what ought to be, and our deepest sense of privilego ;nid
blessing in w/mi is, when we see it in its true relations.
But when such anniversaries occur in tlie life of a person,
however pleasant the surroundings, however happy the circum-
stances, there is always a touch of pnin in the heart. We do
not speak of it. We put it under; but it is there. After the
early spring days of perpetual hope and careless joy are passed,
there is a secret pang for every loving lieart at the anniversary
of a friend's birth — a pang tliat comes from the ever-i)resent
knowledge that eacli quick-returning anniversary brings one
year nearer the time when that life will have ceased among
us. This is the reason why in some families where love is deep-
34
est, the aTiniver.saries bring more of pain tlian ])leasure. The
mortal life of one friend is so short. The stron>jrest man, the
dearest, most ufracious woman so soon comes to tlie allotted end
of life, tliat on such anniversary days, the sweetness of the
present love is always shadowed by the apprehension of the
eoming loss.
But the anniversary of a self-perpetuating institution like the
school which we honor to-night, has in it no such haunting sug-
gestion of pain. As we go on in life (you older Academy boys,
with your wives and friends, to your experience of life I
appeal ! ) as we go on in life and feel how short is any one man's
lease of power do we not feel a growing satisfaction in the life
we have in common, in in^titntiovs which endure from genera-
tion to generation ?
LiFK IS Short ; Institutions Endure.
When a young man first feels the zest of living, he is pro-
foundly impressed by the im])ortance of a man's life to himself.
His own needs, his own desires, the development of his own
} lowers to the full in every direction — these seem to him enough-
But a few^ j^ears, bringing him on toward middle life, change
all this. Scarcely has he seen clearly the ends which he wishes
to attain — scarcely has he nerved his heart and braced his soul
for the contest — when there falls on him like a shadow the con-
sciousness of the brevity of life. If he has fixed his eye on
any thing really worth attaining, when life takes him sternly
in hand with its interposed obstacles, its checks and counter-
checks, its absohite denials, and ruthless and wrenching losses,
he soon comes to feel keenly tlie frailty of his own unaided
gras}) upon affairs, the slender import of any one man's life,
lived and regarded as a thing by itself. He feels the need of
allying his life and its work with the life and work of others
whose aims and efforts coincide with his own. He feels the
wish to make his sjtan of life attain a permanence — endure —
by allying it with the life of an institution that abides, by
using it to ])erpetuate a w^ork, wliich others, perhaps, have
begun, and still others will carry on when he shall have passed
away. Nor is this desire the refuge of weak wills. The strong-
est souls — wills fullest charged with the impulse to do and to
control — feel the most imperious denumds for means and men
35
and minds to be so used liy tluMn as \o perpetuate in institutions
their own ideas, that Their life-work may not come to nant^ht.
Throiig-h an alliance with institutions in one form or another,
every earnest and aspiring soul seeks to escape its body's doom
of but a few days' existence liere, and to perpetuate its power
when the right arm is palsied and the valid eye has lost its
compelling power.
Our Academy Binds Together the Old and the Young.
There is reason, then, in the nature of man, for such love
of an institution as binds us together to-night. And in an
anniversary when an entire community is united to honor an
institution of learning which has lived for three-quarters of a
century and gives promise of a most vigorous life in the future,
there is reason for the feeling of pleasure and hopefiilness
which fills the air ! All ages unite in such a celebration.
Memory, realization, anticipatioiL, all have their share here, as
aged men recall the experience of their boyhood, ardent boys
delight in the evidence of interest in their school, and parents
and boys alike look to the future.
But ])erhaps age has more than its due share of this evening's
pleasures ! For it is a })eculiarity of school life, with its quickly-
changing succession of students, that all the delightful pre-
rogatives of respect and adniiration, all the calmly pleasurable
sensations of the i)atriarcli who has seen successive generations
pass like the leaves of summer, to be succeeded by later
growths, may be enjoyed by a young man still in the twenties.
In school life a lustrum is a generation. Five or six years is a
lifetime for one set of students in the academy proper. By
anticii)ation, the boy of twenty wlien he visits the school tastes
the delight of being looked u}» to as an elder. Perhaps he is
regarded as one of a nobler race of boys, whose like is not now
seen ! And my young friend and former pu})il ( Prof. Groold),
who has hardly turned thirty, I imagine, could not be more
fitly described than in the plirases which Homer applied to
that delightful but very aged man, that discursive story-teller,
old Nestor, " from Pylus' sandy isle : "
" He liiis seen
Two genei-atioiis that g-i-ew up ami live<l
With him on sacred Pyhis, pass away,
And now he rules the third."
30
Beside the intere.st which these fictitiously young patriarclis
of the school have in to-night's proceedings, there are those with
us whose presence honors us, and whom we love to honor — true
*'old Academy boys" who have grown old in the love and
service of the Academy. Such friends renew their youth, to-
night, in cordial sympathy with the young : and nothing so
closely binds together all ages in a connnuidty as does this com-
mon interest in an institution that trained one's ancestors,
directed one's own youthful studies, still cares for one's children,
and in its vigorous, well-cherished life bids fair to train our-
children's children after us.
Indeed, our dear old school has so indentitied itself with the
history of Albany, has so included in itself the springs of life
here, that I sometimes think we might describe Albany as
Xenophon describes a city in the Anabasis of the 10,()()() with
Cyrus. And there was a large and prosperous city "situated
at the springs of the river Marsyas ; and there is a palace close
over the sources of the river, and under the Acropolis ; and this
river flows through the city." So this city might be described
as noted for the springs of learning which have risen hard
under its Acropolis, and flowed through the city, watering its
many homes.
Nkxt to thk Home the kScHOOL Shapes the Life.
For it is in school-life next to home-life, and in school-life
hardly less than in home-life, that ideals of education and
achievement are formed. The years passed in such a school
are the formative years for the young life. If the college gives
the decided form to the man, stamps the die, the image and
superscription upon him, and gives him currency as he starts in
life, it is the home and the preparatory school that must furnish
and purify the gold of initial character and scholarship to be
thus coined. But this is too mechani(tal a figure of speech to
express the truth. Above all, it is life and groiolh that mark a
boy's school years. And as all the science of our time em-
phasizes the importance, to health and life and full development,
of the environment of a growing organism — as hygiene bids us
care especially for the atmosphere, the climate, the light and
the food of every life which we wish to foster — how profoundly
S7
iniiioitiuit to every thoughtful man becomes the choice of a
school for his children !
Here the foundations of character are laid, \ltne are formed
mental and moral habits of life-long, binding jiower over the
man.
"When a man dies," sayf^ Schopeidiauer, "a world perishes
— the world which he bore in his head." Tliat subjective world
of ideals and standards and relations which each one of us has
framed for himself, and in wliich each must live, is so con-
ditioned and colored by one's sourroundings in tliese early
formative years of life, tliat we may w^ell say the boy creates
the social and ideal world in wliich the man nnist live. Recall
your owni earliest memories. fSee how the wliole world as you
now know it was held and typified for you in the small circle
of home and school friends which surrounded you as a child.
These persons, these relations were around us when there w,as
in process of creation that little world, that microcosm of con-
scious existence which each of us carries with him through
life. The elements of all our subsequent experience were
there ; and it sometimes seems as if w'e had stood, since those
early years, within a sphere which has widened and enlarged
as the walls of the bubble grow away from its center, always
reflecting the same environment, but in an ever larger sphere,
on an ever broadening scale.
It is this permanence of impressions, this lasting and con-
ditioning power of the infiuences that surround childhood, that
gives to the work of the teachers of young boys its dower of
sweet yet grave resjionsibility, to the whole life and work of a
boys' school its profound importance.
Thk School Shapes the Boy's Ideas op His Relations
WITH His Peers for His Whole Life.
An entire city may well be interested in such an institution,
because in scliool life is shajjed tliat ideal of his relations -with
his peers which will color and control the life of tlie future
citizen. "Outsi(h> of tlu^ home circle, what relations with
others, my equals, are possible to me ? " This is the question
which every school boy's daily life among his scliool-mates is
answering, whether or not he knows how To ]iut the question
into w^ords. And no thouglitful parent who understands the

mi^'-lity influence upon the yonn^ of the thonglit and speech of
thof^e of tlieir own time of life, can for a moment estimate
slightly the influence of school life upon his children. To me
it has always been a wonder that so many i)arents are content
to turn over to teachers whom they allow to remain utter
strangers, and to the companionship of children of whom they
know and care to know nothing, for Ave or six hours in the
day, and for five days in the week, year after year during the
most impressionable j)eriod of life, those children, who are the
treasures of their homes, lent them by Grod, to be accounted
for to Him,
In his school, the boy's social life, his manner of dealing
with his e(iuals, is shaped. The conditions are so essentially
different from those of family life that he virtually hegiiia his
social life here. And the way in which he carries himself
among his school-mates, and the standards of honor and
behavior which he accepts and helps to form, will go with him
through life. Well may that noble old school at Winchester
retain as its chosen legend the quaintly-phrased proverb,
" Manners makyth manne." 'Tis profoundly true. Not the
mannerisms of the dancing school ; but the answer given in the
life to the question, " What manner of speaking and working
and living do you and your friends accept ? " It is thus that
ideas of morals, (which in almost all languages bear the
etymology of " customs," " settled habits,") by acceptance and
imitation come to control the life and work themselves into the
character. And when Reason, maturing, recognizes the right
of moral principles to connnand, the growing boy accei)ts the
sway of conscience and makes his will her loyal servant.
You can not banish moral training from the school-room and
the play-ground. It nnist go on. If no pains are taken to
make it good moral training, it will be bad training in morals;
but training in morality, yes, in religion, (or in irreligion) will
go forward in school life for good or for bad, whether you wish
it or not.
As his own mother forms the child's ideals of home-life, so
does the school, the alma mater, the fostering, cherishing
mother of his growing mind, furnish the moral atmosphere in
which the boy's social life begins to grow. The early school
determines to no small degree the lifelong nature of those
39
relations witli liis peer.s, relations harmonious or discordant
which are to make or mar his life as man and citizen.
What importance this truth gives to those noble friendships,
generous rivalries and gentlemanly companionshi[)s which are
open to a boy in a school such as the Academy. If a true view
of school influence makes the choice of a school so important a
matter and the maintenance of a noble school so high a work
in any community, we may well consider to-night those
features of its history and those distingiushing characteristics
in its work which make us deservedly proud of our school —
the Albany Academy.
I. Home-life and 8(;hool-life go ox Together.
For the boys of this school, home-life and school-life go for-
ward together. An essential feature of the school has always
been its union of home-life and home influence with such hiiih
standards of scholarship and attainment as it is sometimes
asserted, can be maintained only by removing boys and young
men from the influence and the pleasant distractions of home-
life, and centering all their strength, interest and time in the
half-monastic routine of boarding-school life. The history of
this school proves conclusively that boys may retain their
place in the home-circle, where the God of our family-life
designs boys to be trained, and while they enjoy the friendship
and companioushi[» of their sisters, and are under the friendly
eye of their father, may come daily, with a mother s kiss upon
brow or lip, to the atmosphere of a school where honor and
frankness are cultivated in all, and where the standards of
attainment are such as to call into full play all the intel-
lectual power the boy has at his conmiand. This accounts for
much that is good in the history of the school. Character is
wrought out under home-influence. There is no herding of
immature boys in dormitories. The refining ert'ect of a
mother's influence is daily and strongly felt, as the boy begins
to be a man, at precisely the time when his thouglits and
ideals of womanhood most need a mother's loving presence.
We often speak as if the ideal school of our century were
Rugby, under Thomas Arnold. Certainly he was the ideal
school-nuister. But no one can read carefully Arnold's letters
and atricles, and Arnold's sermons bearing on srhool-iife, with-
40
out feeling what Arnold always saw clearly and frankly
admitted — the awful temptations of a great boarding-school for
hoys — the perilously low moral tone which prevails where
nothing leavens the low moral standards of unaided boyhood,
removed from mother-love and sister-influence. To combine
something of the courteous standards of a pure Christian home
with the scholarly pursuits of the school, was the great aim of
Thomas Arnold's admiiristration at Rugby. The effort to do
this led him to break up as nuich as possible the great school
boarding-house, w'here the lump of un-moral boyishness was
too large and heavy for any one man to leaven it and
counteract its tendencies, and to distribute the boys
in smaller groups in the houses of the assistant masters,
where something of family-life should be before them
in the homes of their teachers. Thus Arnold strove to secure
something of that home-life with scholarly work which is the
characteristics of our Academy, All the ideals which are
precious to us, and were precious to him, are too often violated
in the overgrown, fashionable boarding-school, where a crude
mannishness takes the place of a sound boyhood, a true boy's
tender manliness. High standards of scholarship and broad,
full courses of study, in some departments reaching the plane
of good college work, maintained in a school whose scholars
are daily helped by the life and the standards of home, have
made this Academy what it has been and is. And in achiev-
ing its work without support from a boarding department,
without a city or a State treasury to draw upon, and w-ithout an
endowment, it stands almost alone among the best preparatory
schools of this country.
II. The Academy Fosters Letters — is Pre-emine>tly a
Classical School.
The Academy has always been marked, not alone and not
chiefly for the scientific work done here by Beck, and Joseph
Henry, and Ten Eyck, brillliant as was that work, but pre-
eminently as a classical school, where a love of literature and
the humanities has been cherished. How far-reaching is the
influence of such a school, in all the w^alks of life ! Let one
afternoon's experience of a month ago illustrate. Taking the
train from New York, a very intelligent and public-spirited
41
lawyer of tliat city who took a seat beside me, in speaking of
a clergyman whose death was mentioned in that evenings
paper, said of him : " He used to teach us. He was not a very
strong man intellectually, but he drilled into us well our
'tupto.""' In my own prejiaration for college, I luid studied
Bullions' Granmiar. "Tui»to" was a shibboleth. "What
grannnar did you use ? " I asked, " Bullions', of course," was
the answer. And 1 was reminded of t-he tliousands of school-
boys of an earlier generation who were trained in the excellent
grammars w-hich Peter Bullions wrote wliile he was i)rofessor
of Latin and Greek in the Albany Academy.
A few moments later, I bought of the train-boy a phamph-
let containing these charming })apers, "Books that luive
helped me," written by prominent men of letters, and first
])ul)lished in the Forum. In turning over its pages, I found
that Ex-President Hill, of Harvard, in enumerating the books
that had given him an impulse as he entered on life, makes
prominent mention of the botany written by Prof. Lewis C.
Beck, for three years a member of the Faculty of this Academy,
and afterwards ]^rofessor of chemistry at Rutgers. The arti-
cle immediately following Professor Hill's was by Moncure 1).
Conway, and in terms of warm affection lie s})eaks of his debt,
for " intellectual liberation," to " a beloved law book, Beck's
'Medical Juris})rudence,' " where he found "the stuff' that
dreams are made of dealt with in a scientific spirit and with
exactness."
These three instances of the far reaching effects of the liter-
ary work of the Academy were chanced ujton in one afternoon.
But we know in how many directions the literary skill acquired
at the Academy is felt in widening circles. When we see an
editorial in the New York Tribune wdth a })ertinent illustra-
tion from the characters of Dickens, a dash of Steele's humor,
or enlivened by an irresistibly comic verse of camjiaign argu-
ment, we say, "'tis McKlroy's." A party })latf()rni drafted
with a flavor of literature, a reminiscence of the periods of
Burke in its well-turned sentences, if Democratic, leads to the
assertion, " Why, Manton Marble wrote it ; " if Rei)ublican,
" it is the work of Charles Emory tSmith " — old Academy boys,
all ! Or such articles as the noble criticisms of Eighteenth
Century Literature in still recent numbers of tlie Yale Review,
42
articles on which I had conmieiited to college classes but a few
weeks before the death of their author, Louis J. ISwinburne, of
the Academy class of '74, perhaps the most promising writer
among our younger men, crowned in his freshmati year at
Yale, after a competition in which all classes were engaged,
with tlie highest literary honor of tlie college, and steadily
developing as a writer since leaving college.
The "Beck"" and the "Gates"' Literary Hocieties.
Ho the classical training and the literary culture of the school
pass into the life of the nation. Well may an Academy boy
honor the record of those wlio in past years have belonged to
the Beck Literary Society. May it continue to prosper ! And
if I might be allowed on an occasion like this to express my
high appreciation of the compliment paid me in the most un-
expected choice of a name for the new^ literary society organ-
ized in the school soon after I had gone to another city to
reside, I should do so by saying that no memorial of my con-
nection with the school for a longer time than any other })rin-
cipal, save Dr. Beck, could have been suggested which would
have gratified me as did this unexpected action of the boys.
With perfect loyalty to the older and more famous society,
whose name so justly entitles it to outrank the otlier, may we
not heartily wish the truest success to both these societies, in
which many earnest boys are learning the meaning of Emer-
son's words : " In tlie highest civilization the book is ever the
keenest delight."'
UL A Truly Liberal Course of iStudy.
A third characteristic of the Academy, as I read its history,
is a sound conservatism in essentials, with adaptability in
methods and details. No patent abreviated methods for secur-
ing the ends of education have ever been tolerated here. One
distinct part of the mission of this scliool has been to resist the
too popular tendency to shorten all courses of study and to
sacrifice the " humanities " to bread-winning quickness of at-
tainment along lower lines. While I yield to no man in my
insistance upon the [)ractical vahie of a liberal education, I am
in favor of taking iirne enough t(» make the course liberal.
48
I In matters of education, "he that believeth " in thorough-
ness "shall not make haste." Of course, the highest class in
an institution such as this, will not by its fees "pay" for its
tuition. But the higher education must always be carried for-
ward by men who are willing to use money which God has
trusted to them for noble ends. May the Academy always
maintain courses of study so full that the presidents of our
leading universities may say, as one of them said to me ten
years ago : " No freshmen (;ome to us from any other school
w^ho are on the w^hole so fully and roundly prepared for college
work ; and members of our Faculty have more than once said
they wish all our students could come through such a course of
training as is given in the Albany Academy." I rejoice in
those evidences of thoroughness and breadth in the present
management of the school, which lead us to hope that its future
will outshine even its most glorious early fame. Some years of
experience in college work have not weakened, but if pos'sible
have strengthened my convictions, Jexpressed [m past years
before many of you, that no educational work in our country
is more important or more needed to-day than that of high-
grade secondary schools such as the Academy.
IV. A kSriiouL Kkpt by Gentlemen for the Sons of
Gentlemen.
Thackeray said of the Cornhill Magazine, " it is written by
gentlemen, for gentlemen." So, I would say that another
marked characteristic of the Academy is, that it is a school
taught and managed by gentlemen for the training of the
sons of gentlemen. I trust that I never use that noble word
gentlemen in a vulgar sense, as if it w^ere the name of a caste
into whose ranks a favoredj few were born. The word is too
fine a one to be so narrowed. And when I best knew Academy
boys, snobbishness, whether based on birth or wealth or on
arrogated^socialjpositioujgwas [at "a heavy discount with us!
A genuinejdemocracy of equal rights, and consideration based
oiilyjou [merit and ^ability, seemed to characterize the boys.
Butjwe all hold that the Academy has always been km)wn, and
should always be^kn()wn,fas*a scliool where there is the clear-
est recognition of gentlemanly standards of behaviour, of the
44
value of gentle inanner.s and gentle-manliness, all the stronger
for its self-repressed power to be gentle.
V, It is a Christian School.
And the history of the foundation and management of the
school leads us to believe that it will always be held, as it was
founded, a Christian institution, loyal to Christ and lionoring
Him in the character it forms as well as by the pul)lic worship
it maintains.
Marked by tliese strong features, the Academy is a school of
which we may well be proud.
But our interest in it is not confined to the past. It is be-
cause schools deal with the future that they have an unfailing,
a perennial interest for all.
Who Can See the (treat Men op the Next Generation
IN the School-boys op To-day ?
On the matriculation book of the college where my work now
lies, in opening its pages for the signatures of the in-coming
freshman class a week ago, I showed to them a page where
were written, in boyish hand, the autographs of the class who
entered Rutgers fifty-six years ago. In the class of tw^enty-
one, who were graduated in 18H6, we saw the names of Justice
Joseph Bradley, of the United States Supreme Court ; Fred-
erick Frelinghuysen, the late United States Senator and Secre-
tary of State ; Gov. Newell, of New Jersey and Oregon ; Hon.
Cortlandt Parker, tlie leader of the Newark bar, and Prof.
Geo. H. Coakley, of the University of the City of New York.
Who would liave ventured to predict so distinguished a future
career for one man of each four in that class?
But anyone can honor great men after they have proved their
greatness. For a school, the vital cpiestion is. Who can see
and honor the great men of the next generation in the blush-
ing, stammering school-boy of to-day ?
Only lie can do this who respects boyhood for its own sake.
Do not fancy tliat you can know in advance wlio will be the
man to fill posts of honor and responsibility ; but try so to
train the boys whom you teach that each one of them, if jilaced
under responsibilities, may prove trustworthy.
45
You do not need to toacli Ainerican boys tliat any one of
tlieni may become President of the United States. They know-
that quite as well as you do! It's in tlie air ! But you rf')
need to teach them the duties and olilii^ations that rest on
every citizen of tlie United States, that they may l)e honest,
true-hearted, public-spirited members of the connnonwealth in
whatever station they do their life-work. Teach them their
res]»onsibilities and their oblig-ations ; and their })rivileii"es and
their ri^^-hts will come out clearly enouu-h, by inqilication !
Work faithfully with the commoni)lace, average boy. Said
Lincoln : " God Almighty must think a great deal of plain,
connnonplace i)eo[)le, or He never would htive made so many
of them." No truth is more important to the safe conduct of a
democratic republic like our own ! And in school manage-
ment by trustees and teachers, let it always be borne in mind
that while any one who knows enough can teach the twenty
linest minds in the school, it takes genius, patience and fine
enthusiasm, to awaken higher aspirations and inculcate nobler
habits in the dull boys and commonplace boys of the school.
Yet most of the teacher's work must be done with and for
them. " God has made so many of them."
Memories of the Past; 187() to 1882.
But I cannot s})eak impersonally of this schoctl, my friends !
Twelve years of its history are written in my heart. And I
see here to-night, not only the familiar faces of very many
dear friends among tlui men of Albany, grown a little older,
and the faces of mothers whom I learned to honor and esteem
for wliat I saw of them in their sons ; but besides tliese friends,
I have luid a welcome from young men whose faces were
strange to me in their maturity, yet from whose bearded lips
the old boyish smile breaking out reveals a former })U}»il.
The changes are many, since my work began in the
Academy, eighteen years ago. As we sang of the " wliite
brows of glory bending above," how our thoughts went back,
boys of '70 to '82, to those Academy boys who can never i^row
old!
Jamie McClure, Fred S ^ inburne, Clarence Hascy, and lat(M',
(George Dewey, carrying tlie frank warm-heartedness of boy-
hood into his young manhood, and on through [)ainful suff'er-
46
ing" to courageous death ; and Harry Ten Kyck, wlio luul done
a life-work by liis candid, lionorable manliness, in the few
years since his college-days, and whom this city, like one great
family of mourners, so lately followed to an early grave, and
his class-mate, Louis Swinburne, of whose growing fame we
have s])oken, and whose chivalric, high-hearted life in the
school no boy of his time can ever forget.
" I see them niustei* in a g'leamiiig' row.
With ever youthful brows that noblei- show.
We tind in our dull road their shining track,
They come transfigured back,
Secure from change in their high-hearted waj's,
Beautiful evei'more, and with the i-ays
Of morn on their white shields of expectation."
Teachers have passed on, too. Mr. Mills and Mr. Tilling-
hast, self-sacrificing, pure-hearted, loving music, sweet-souled
men, too early called away ! And of other teachers, Messrs.
Satterlee and Warner, and Hubbell and Olds, all prospering
in their professions. Our sister institution, the Higli School,
owes her eificient principal [Professor 0. D. Robinson] to the
Academy, who imported him from Yankee-land as a teacher of
mathematics. And others have come and gone in these
eighteen years.
Of the Academy teachers wlio came with me to the Academy
in 1870, but one is left, the honored professor of mathematics,
Martin L. Deyo. Look well at his work. For nearly twenty
years it has been done with unvarying faithfulness. It will
bear inspection. It is wi-itten with honest accuracy in many
lives of All)auy men ! You cannot "erase it." Suppose you
" mark it ten ! "
Then, for twenty years the school has known that marvel-
lously insi)iring, wonumly preseiu'e, stinuilatiug ambition,
awakening heart and conscience in the younger boys — the
only woman I have ever known in the teacher's work who in-
variably wore a smile yet was never made weak or silly by it.
Miss Esther Andrews. Hundreds of Academy boys will never
forget her! She constantly helped to build up character in
the boys she taught.
47
The Building op Chara(Ter is the Great End.
And this bnikling of cliiiracter is the irreat thing in educa-
tion, my friends. Boys may acliieve character much earlier in
life than many persons tliink. Will-power may be developed,
will-power guided by conscience and reason. " It is conscience
that i)reserves the might of the will," says Trendelenburg.
" Happy is he who walks wath that strong-siding champion,
Conscience," says Milton. And I have known many a boy
who, hardly yet in his teens, walked serenely with this strong-
siding champion, already a "hai)i)y warrior," because he had
said to duty, " In the light of Truth thy bondsman let me be."
'Tis well said that "one is already of consequence in the
world, whatever his age, w^hen men have learned that he can
be depended on." Judged by this standard, I have known
many an undergraduate Academy boy who w^as deserving of
respect as "of consequence in the w^orld."
I reverence profoundly a pure and manly boy. I have known
boys at sixteen for whom I have felt a respect as true, as pro-
found as I ever felt for a man of sixty. For such boys had
already achieved a noble character. And " character gives
splendor to youth and awe to wrinkled skin and gray hairs.''
It has seemed to me at times, as I recall the faces of the
Academy boys whom I have known, tluit as our photographers
now photograph a concejjt, make a composite picture, by tak-
ing an imi)ression, now of one face now of another, so I could
well form tlie ideal American V)oy, by blending impressions of
one and another of the Academy boys whom I have known.
Let Albanians Idealize this yciiooL — Understanding its
High Value.
Let us idealize somewhat our way of looking at the Academy.
Once in a generation, when these great anniversaries come
round, let us know how noble are the possibilities, how worthy
is Yhe actual work of the institution you have among you
here. ;
As citizens of Albany you do well to cherish and to develop
still more fully an institution where your sons may be trained
to noble living in their earliest social life. " To form the habit
of doing the thing I know I ouglit to do, at the time when I
know I ought to do it, wliether I feel like <Ioing it or not,"
48
Huxley has said is the object of aii^|eduratioTi. This habit
you want this school to foster. To do hard things heartily and
with a swing, is a great lesson learned ! In this school let
Albany boys continue to learn how to act together nobly, for
worthy ends, as " citizens of no mean city."
Let the High Hopes of Youth Re-animate Us !
And as we think of the hopes of our early youth, to-night,
my friends, we who are older shall do well to purify our aims
in life by a clear vision of the high hopes of our youth. As
we contrast our limited achievements and our lowered stand-
ards with the purposes of our earlier years, when we look at
our lives in an hour of vision such as this, let us listen to the
still, small voice in which Grod says to each one of us, " Look
that thou make it after the pattern that was shown thee in the
mount," in thy youth !
And for every boy and young man, the question of supreme
importance, to-night and always, is, How shall I keep my
ideal, my aim in life, high ; and my power of will to direct
ray life according to this ideal, strong, unswerving, tri-
umphantly persistent, and rich in noble achievement ? How
shall I do this ?
The True Key-note of Life.
" Trust yourself," answers one whose followers boast that he
is a seer. "Trust yourself! Every heart vibrates to that
iron string ! "
'Tis a strong key-note ! Every man's heart, in certain
moods, must answer to it. Yes, trust yourself, as long and as
far as you can ! Demand much of yourself. 8et it before you
as an end to be attained that " a simple purpose may be as
strong for you as iron necessity is to others." Be not content
to take from yourself the flattering promise, " I will do," but
sternly demand the assertion of the accomplished fact, " I
hate done."
Take out of yourself all you can get ! But, my friend, you
cainiot get out of yourself what you most need, for it is not in
you. You cannot get from yourself either heaven or God,
either forgiveness or peace ; and for these your soul will one
day know an awful hunger.
49
"Trust yourself!" It is indeed an iron string. As life
goes on, the note which experience by its hard blows draws
from this string, so changes as to blend sadly with the low-
throl)l>ing dirge of pain, and sorrow^ and failure, and sin that
our ears nuist hear, as we learn how utterly unable we are by
trusting self to secure for ourselves or for those whom we love
the best results. At last, the fearful, agonizing strain of
death conies upon this iron string of " trust thyself," and witli
a startling crash, 'tis broken !
If we had no other key-note than that to sound in your ears,
a minor wail of disapi»ointment would be all we could look for
to follow it.
That was an iron string. We want a higher, clearer, more
joyous key-note for our life. We need a nobler ideal than self
can give us. There is a truer key-note than " trust yourself ! "
Trust God, young man ! Trust God ! When self is seen to be
the source of our w^orst temptations, when we need above all
else to be saved from self and from the sins of selfishness,
there comes a Divine answer to our need. Conscience and the
Bible unite in revealing the ideal we need to keep the will
steady in its work of self-control and self-direction to the
noblest ends.
When the path of virtue, although clearly seen, fails to
attract us ; when goodness seems irksome to us and we feel the
need of a power within to quicken ami energize us in our life-
work, to make duty attractive, how wonderfully this need of
ours is answered ! Our emotions are quickened by the reve-
lation of a personal God to meet our personal need, by the
revelation of a divine Haviour, who became a man and died to
save us from ourselves and to bring us back to God — a Saviour
who now calls all men, who will trust in Him, Ilis friends.
Wrote Emerson, despairingly, to despairing Carlyle, over
the sea : " A divine })orson is the prophecy of the mind. A
friend is the hojte of the heart. Our beautitude waits for the
fulfillment of tlu^ two in one."
But it waits not, my friends. The Divine Person, the Friend
of the heart, the fuHilling of the two in one, our Beatitude has
come. Our deepest needs are met. An infinite fullness sup-
plies a finite need. God, the Eternal (rod, cares for our
present life and gives us life eternal. The perfect ideal a
50
young man needs to make strong his will and to kindle his
noblest emotions is set before us in the One Perfect Man. A
renewed will, trained to holiness, is promised to everyone who
accepts this Divine Man as his Saviour, his example and his
Master.
If you would see your future secure, serve God,
'' And the i-ewanl, (ir soon oi- late, will come
Fi-oin Him whom no man serves in vain."
At the conclusion of the oration, the audience joined in sing-
ing the familiar hymn, " My Country, 'Tis of Thee," led by
the choir and the orchestra, and the benediction was then pro-
nounced by the Rt. Rev. William Croswell Doane, Bishop of
Albany, one of the Trustees of the Academy.

My Dear Mr. Viele — ^I have received an invitation to be
present at the celebration of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of
the Albany Academy, signed by the committee of arrange-
ments, of which you are the chairman.
Please thank the Committee for this very pleasant remem-
brance. It would give me very great pleasure to be present
on the interesting occasion, and I greatly regret that it will
not be in my power to do so.
The Albany Academy holds so high a rank among the insti-
tutions of the State and has contributed to the thorough educa-
tion of so many of its best men, that I am glad to be numbered
among those who are known to be interested in its success.
Cordially yours,
Anson J. Upson.

My Dear Mr. Viele — I am exceedingly grateful to the
Committee, of which you are chairman, for the kind invitation
to attend the Seventy-tifth Anniversary of the organization
of the Albany Academy ; and though my college duties will
necessarily prevent its acceptance, 1 am happy for the oppor-
tunity it affords me of expressing my deep interest in the past
work of the institution, and in its prospects for future usefulness.
The Albany Academy, among the older educational institu-
tions of the State, has been among tlie most successful. It has
been the source to your community of unspeakable blessing.
It has contributed very largely to the intellectual culture of
your city.
From its graduates the -college with which I am connected
has from time to time received students, and their preparation
for the higher education, upon which they have here entered,
54
have afforded us the best evidence of the thoroughness of their
academic education,
I am happy to be remembered as among the friends of the
Albany Academy.
(Sincerely yours,
Henry Darling.

Gentlemen — I beg to thank you for your invitation to the
75th anniversary of the Albany Academy. I wish it was in
my power to be with you, but I shall not be able to leave home
at that time.
The Albany Academy has acquired a very valuable reputa-
tion. It may be seen in the Cyclopedia of American Biogra-
phy. I was surprised in seeing how many distinguished men
of our country have received part of their education in this
institution. May it still continue to do the good work, and
place on its roll the names of others who shall be distinguished
in all the departments of learning and enterprise.
Very respectfully yours,
E. B. Fairbairn.

Messrs. Archibald McClure and others, of the Committee of Ar-
rangements :
Gentlemen — Please accept my cordial thanks for your
invitation to be i)resent at the celebration of the Seventy-fifth
Anniversary of tlie organization of the Albany Academy.
Such an event cannot fail to be of great interest to all friends
of education. The position of the Academy, at the cajjital of
55
the State, its long and honorable career, its series of honored
and able instructors, and its marked influence on the interests
of education, will all contribute to make the anniversary one
of unusual dignity and importance. My father attended the
Academy wlien it was under the charge of that prince of in-
structors, T. Ronieyn Beck, who might be called without ex-
travagance the Dr. Arnold of America. I have therefore, in
a certain sense, inherited a profound respect for the Albany
Academy. Permit me to send my heartiest good wishes for
the success of the day and for the future of the Academy. It
will stand in the future as it has in the past as an exponent of
sound education. It would give me the greatest pleasure to
join with you in the anniversary celebration, but my duties
here compel me to decline.
With great respect, I am sincerely yours,
A. G. Hopkins.

My Dear Sir — I am sorry that 1 cannot be present at the
celebration of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the Albany
Academy. I remember with much pleasure my service of a
few months as a teacher, when you were at the head of the
Academy, and have always been grateful for the considerate
kindness with which you treated me, in my youth and inex-
perience. We have had, during my connection with this Col-
lege, quite a number of students from the Albany Academy,
and they have given abundant evidence of the thorough and
excellent training which they have received. It has been a
pleasure to me to know that the standards and traditions of
the school have been so well maintained.
With thanks to the ('ommittee for the courtesy of their invi-
tation, and with much respect and regard to yourself, 1 am.
Very sincerely yours,
Enw'ARi) If. Griffin.

Messrs. Maurice E. Viele, David Murray, Archibald McClure,
Frederick Townsend, Henry P. Warren, Com,mittee :
Gentlemen — I have your polite invitation to be present at
the exercises commemorative of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary
of the organization of the Albany Academy, and 1 regret very
much that I cannot join in the celebration — 1 desire to thank
you for your remembrance and courtesy. The event is a nota-
ble one and well worthy of a formal and public recognition.
The Academy has enjoyed so much influence and reputation,
has called together so many generous and faithful pupils, has
done so large and so important a part of their education, has
enlisted and retained the services of so many eminent scholars
and noble men, has created for itself so many resources, gives
promise of so much usefulness in the years to come, that all
that shall be said on Thursday evening in reminiscence, or
eulogy, or prophecy, will be a just tribute to a genuine insti-
tution of learning, which has a part in which it may take pride,
and a present full of promise. My connection with the cause
of secondary education through my office in this ancient school,
my acquaintance with you personally, and my familiarity with
the history of the Albany Academy make it a hardship for me
to forego the pleasure of attendance at your celebration.
With great respect I remain, gentlemen.
Yours faithfully,
C. F. P. Bancroft.
From Prof. John E. Bradley, Superintendent of Public Schools,

Minneapolis, Minn., October 27, 1888.
My dear Mr. Viele — It would have given me great pleas-
ure, had I been in Albany, to attend the celebration of the
Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the organization of the Albany
Academy. So grand a record as this institution has made,
and such an impress as it has stamped upon the intellectual
life of Albany, are worthy of a noble commemoration. I take
57
pleasure in recalling that, during the sixteen years of my con-
nection with the Albany High iSchool, such cordial relations
were constantly maintained between the two institutions.
With best wishes for the continued success of the Academy,
1 am, my dear sir,
Very sincerely yours,
John E. Bradley.

APPENDIX B.
At a meeting of the Trustees held November 17, 1813, the
Rev. Messrs. Neill, McJimpsey, Clowes and Bradford, w^ere
appointed a Committee to prepare a memorial to the Hon-
orable the Common Council, praying that a suitable build-
ing for the Academy may be erected at the expense of the
City ; and at a subsequent meeting held December 8, 1813, the
Committee reported a draft of a memorial, which was approved
by the Board, and the President w^as ordered to sign the same
on the behalf of the Board, and that it be presented at the
next meeting of the Common Council.
In reply to the memorial of the Trustees the Common Council
passed the following resolution :
" At a Common Council holden at the Capitol, February 28,
1815.
^^Resolved, That Messrs. Van Rensselaer, Brinkerhoff,
Humphrey and Brown, be a Committee to confer wdth a Com-
mittee of the Trustees of the Albany Academy on the subject
of a suitable })lan or plans for an Academy in this City ; and
that the said Connnittee report such plan or })lans together with
estimates of the expense thereof to this Board, as soon as the
same may be practicable.

"J. E. LovETT, D'p Clkr
The same Committee of the Trustees was appointed as the
Connnittee of ('onfc^rence, and they reported to the Board at a
meeting held March 9, 1815, that they had ado})ted a plan of
the building drawn by Thomas C. Taylor, as the most eligible
of any of those exhibited for the pur})Oses of the institution;
and thereupon the following resolutions were passed :
'^Resolved, That this Board adopt the said ])lan, and that the
Corporation of the City of Albany l)e requested to enter on the
lot granted by them to this Board, in tlie public scpiare, and
142
erect on the east front thereof, a building conformable thereto ;
or in case the said Cor[)oration shoidd be desirous of omitting
the wings, they are reijuested to erect the central l)uilding only.
^^Resolved, That John Lansing, Jr., Chas. D. Cooper, Har-
manns Bleecker and Henry Walton, be a Committee to confer
generally with the Cori)oration, or with any Comndttee thereof,
on the subject of the building for the Academy, and that the
said Committee report to the Board.
'â– ^Resohed, That the Secretary transmit to the Corporation of
the City of Albany, a co])y of the above proceedings."
The Common Council thereupon passed the following reso-
lutions :
"At a Common Council holden at the Capitol, 13th March,
1815.
"Resolved, That the Academy be built of brick with a front
ornamented by free stone.
"Resolved, That his Honor, the Mayor, Messrs. Brinkerhoff,
Humphrey and Stewart, be a Committee to engage the neces-
sary workmen and materials, and to proceed to build and fiiush
the said Academy.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees, held April 25, 1815,
the following communication was received from the Common
Council :
" In Common Council, 25th Ai)ril, 1815.
"Resolved, That the Academy Committee be authorized and
are fully empowered, to consult with the Trustees of the
Academy about the most proper site to build the Academy on ;
and if the Committee are of opinion that a more proper site
can be obtained than the one heretofore appropriated for that
use, that they forthwith make a purchase of as much ground as
will be sufficient, and this Board will confirm the })urchase, and
convey the above-mentioned five lots heretofore set apart in
fee to the Trustees.
"A copy from the minutes.
" H. Merchant, Dep. CU:'
The action of the Board of Trustees on the above resolution
was as follows :
At a meeting held April 2(5, 1815 :
Resolved, That Messrs. Lansing, Bleecker and Sedgwi k be
a Committee of this Board, to confer with the Academy Com-
mittee of the Corporation on the sul)ject of changing the site
of the Academy ; but that they l)e confined merely to that
subject, this Board not admitting that their title to the lots
mentioned in the resolution of tlie corporation of this city, is
143
ill any way qualified, or tliat the fee of the .•^aid lots is not
absolutely in this Board ; and that they report the result of
their conference to this Board. The Committee innnediately
upon their api)oiutment met with the Academy Committee of
the Corporation and on their return to the Board made the fol-
lowiuii- report, which was ordered to be inserted in the minutes :
" The Committee have met the Committee of tlie Common
Council on the subject of the site of the Academy. The Com-
mittee of the Connnon Council ofier to purchase and convey to
the Trustees of the Academy, five lots on the south side of
State street and north of Jay street, of the dimensions of 165
feet front, and 182 feet depth ; that if the Trustees elect to
have the Academy erected in the square, the building thereof
suspended until the pitch of the square is ascertained by John
Randal, Jun'r, who has been engaged to level the streets of
this city, and to commence his operations in August or Heptem-
ber next.
" Thereupon Resolved, unanimously as the ojiinion of the
Trustees, that the site for the Academy on the public square is
in every point of view most eligible, and therefore that they
persevere in their request to the corporation to erect the
Academy on the said lot."
On the 28th of February, 1816, the Conunon Council passed
the following resolution :
Resolved, That the Trustees of the Albany Academy be
authorized to solicit a »State loan to the amount of $80, 000
payable at such time as the Legislature shall direct, to be
applied to the completion of the Academy, and to profiler the
responsibility of this Board for such loan, and the payment of
the interest semi-annually.

In coni])liauce witii above request a i)etition to this effect was
submitted to the Board and signed l)y the several members,
and ordered to be presented to the Legislature by a committee
of the Board consisting of Messrs. Lansing and Mclntyre.
It is not known what was the result of this a])})lication.
At a meeting of tlio Board of Trustees held January ;Ust,
1817, the following letter was presented and read :
" To the Trustees of the Alhcmy Acadeini/ :
"Gentlemen — We are instructed by the Conmiou Council
of this city to confer with you (or with a committee to be ap-
pointed by you) on the propriety of uniting in a petition to the

Wlierei^MJU, it was
Resolved, That Messrs, Lansing, Henry and Bleecker be a
Committee of Conference on the part of this Board, and at a
meeting of the Board held Feb. 17, 1817, the Committee re
ported the following resolution of the Common Council :
In Common Council, Feb'y 10, 1817.
Resolved, That in case an arrangement can be effected with
the Legislature, for the sale of the Building lately erected on
the public square for an Academy, that in such case this Board
do hereby pledge its faith to the Trustees of the Academy,
that they will forthwith proceed to build or purchase a suitable
edifice, as a substitute for the unfinished building now proposed
to be sold. From the minutes,
George Merchant, Clh.
Whereupon,
^'Resolved, That it will not comport with the interest of the
Academy to accede to the terms of the above proposition ; but
that this Board disposed to comply with the wishes of the Hon.
the Corporation, will not withhold their consent to a sale sup-
posed to conduce to the ease and comfort of our fellow citizens ;
and the Committee already appointed are therefore authorized
to concert with the Committee of the Corporation, the terms of
such sale — the proportion of the consideration money to be
retained by the Board, and also concerning a substitute for the
present Academy, and further that they report the above to
this Board for their approbation."
It does not appear that any further report was made on this
subject.
APPENDIX C.
The city was bound under an obligation dated March 15,
1818, to sell the ground ujion whicli the old gaol stood upon
such terms and at such times as the Board of Trustees might
require ; and also to deliver to the Board the material of the
old gaol as soon as the new one should be finished. To render
145
this item of funds available, the committee appointed for that
imrpose reoommeuded, at a meeting held April 28, 181^, that
the property be sold at auction ujjon the following terms :
Three-fourths of the purchase money to be on a credit of fif-
teen years from the day of sale, at animal interest, to be se-
cured by bond and mortgage on the premises.
One-fourth part, with interest, at the choice of the purchaser,
to be paid in twelve months from tlie sale, and to be secured in
twenty-four hours after the sale by notes to be approved by a
Connnittee of the Board ; or in fifteen years from the sale, wdth
annual interest, secured to the Board by bond mid mortgage
on other clear and adequate lands to be api)roved by the same
committee ; the purchaser to make his choice in writing and
deliver the same to the auctioneer within twenty-four hours
after the sale.
The nuiterials of the gaol Avere to be sold on the following
terms : the price to be paid in four equal yearly instalments,
with interest secured by personal security ; or at the option of
the purchaser, to be paid within fifteen years of the sale se-
cured by bond and mortgage on unincumbered property ; these
materials to be removed in three months from the sale.
This re})ort was adopted by the Board, and a copy of a reso-
lution founded thereon was delivered to the cor})oration.
Under this resolution the coi-poration ordered the property to
be sold l)y the Chamberlain on the 22d of June, 1818, and it
was struck off entire to Benjamin (loodrich for $10,800. Good-
rich, however, did not fulfil the conditions of the sale, but de-
livered to the Committee of the Board a relinquishment of all
his right ; so, according to the resolution of the Board, a re-
sale was ordered, and the property was struck off to Andrew
Thompson for $16,900. He elected to secure all the purchase
by mortgage, and accordingly gave a mortgage on the prem-
ises for §12,675, and gave a further mortgage on No. 58 Lyon
street (now Washington avenue) for $4,225.
During the year 1S16 Mr. Thompson was unable to pay the
interest on his mortgages, and the ])roperty thereafter came
into the ]>ossession of the Academy, and was afterwards dis-
posed of by the trustees.

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

APPENDIX F.
Containing List of Subscribers to the Fund for the Sup-
port OP THE ACADEMY^
Whereas, an Academy has been incorporated in this city, in
which all the branches of science are intended to be taught
that are usually taught in schools and colleges ; but there are
not sufficient funds to produce a certain yearly income that
will eimble the Trustees to employ teachers of the greatest
eminence, wliich is indispensably necessary to the accomplish-
ment of the great end of the institution ; We, the subscribers,
do therefore, in order to establish such fund, hereby severally
promise to pay to "The Trustees of the Albany Academy "
the sums annexed to our respective names, leaving it discre-
tionary with us, either to pay the same within sixty days, or
satisfactorily to secure the payment thereof, within such times
as we shall think proper, with lawful interest yearly.
