Tuesday marked the 57th anniver- sary of the opening of the Norwich ¥ree Academy, and Principal Henry A. Tirrell addressed the pupils briefly at the opening of school on the signifi- cance of the day. He told something of the history of the school and its g™mwth during the more than a half century of its existence. The founding of the Academy was #ue chiefly to the efforts of Rev. Dr. John Putnam Gulliver, through whose efforts the citizens of Norwich were persuaded to contribute a fund suffi- «cient for the incorporation of an academy of high school grade. The school was incorporated in 1854 as the Norwich Free Academy and was open- ed. Oct. 21. 185 The aims of the founders as set forth ‘when they applied for a charter in 1854 were as follows: 1. To excite in the minds of parents, guardians and children a deeper in- | . terest in education. 2 To stimulate scholars in pri- mary, intermediate and grammar schools to higher attainments in the elementary branches. 3. To elevate the standard of edu- <cation in the town and vicinity, 4 higher education for our sons and daughiers so cheaply that the poorest <an enjoy them, and so amply that the Tichest shall be grateful for the priv- ilege of enjoying their benefits, Starting in 1856, a small scheol, the To furnish the facilities for a | lery Academy has had a steady growth. At its opening there were 80 scholars and 5 teachers. The present enrollment in the entering claks is 100 boys and 102 girls, and the school has in its various d?par'mem.s something over 500 pupils, with 25 teachers. In the first years there were only the classical and ‘Eng- lish departments. To these have been added the art, manual training and science departments, while the two original divisions have been enlarged and enriched, keeping pace on the one hand with the reguirements of the leading colleges and on the other with the need of more thorough scientific and practical courses for those who complete their school life with the Academy. The original fund with which the Academy began its existence amounted to $80,000. contributed by 50 citizens, and many others have at various times aided in the support of the school as its growta demanded funds. The largest single benefactor of the school has been Wiliiam A. Slater, whose generosity has made possible much of the expansion of the school. Bequests of note include those or Hon. Jeremiah Halsey, Col. Charles A. Con- verss, Hon. L. F. S. Foster, Elizabeth B. Woodhull, Franklin ghols, Joan- na D. G, Mitchell and Adam Reid. The Slater Memorial building was erected in 1886, the Manual Training building in 1895, the Converse Art gal- in 1908, and the new Academy building in 1910. COMPTROLLER KANE. ON NEW ENGLAIND BANKING.
