It was suggested by the demolition of tin Seminary building at Kent’s Bill, after a new and more aspiring structuri had been erected for the purposes cf the institution. The old building wasj one full of delightful associations to hundreds, who, in times past, had re-1 paired there for the purposes of receiving instruction, and more especially } I so, to one endowed with youthful enthusiasm and a strong love for the! 1 scenes and grounds so intimately connected with the very morning of hen j life. Every spot brings forth some interesting reminiscence and calls up* thoughts of happy hours and absent faces that come clustering around her,' like the visions of a sweet and pleasant dream. The author makes no pre­ tensions to faultless skill in poetic arrangement of language; to the weaving of harmonious numbers—to deep knowledge of classical literature, sq con­ ducive to smooth and expressive diction. All she cun claim for this pro­ duction, which her friends have overpersuaded her to give them, is,—that it is the simple language of the heart, indulging in the outpourings of affec- . lion and love for the old schoolroom and surrounding grounds, where were spent so many happy and innocent hours. The memory of them is like the songs of Ossian, pleasant but mournful to the sou), and the intensity of this affection, must be offered as the excuse for daring to express her fecliugs in the following imperfect form, by way of an offering on the altar of love , and gratitude. �4 i o -t j Harp of the Hill! that long hath hung, Scarcely a note has yet been sung By me, the lowli’st of that train Who’ve touch’d thy strings, and not in vain, Oh! not in vain—and would that I Might with some skill the harp-strings try, Might wake one chord—but not to Fame, I ask not that to keep my name. Come, oh, my harp! and bid one strain— In metn’ry of the fallen fane Awake, and consecrate the dome, Where Learning erst did make her home, To Metn’ry. Bid each youthful heart Which in these halls once took its part, The lovely girl, the noble youth, Who here have drank thy waves, oh, Truth! Remember days, the past, the dear, And bathe their metn’ry with a—tear. Thou’rt lying in ruins—thy brave old walls No more will resound to mirth—or the calls Of happy youth with their notes of glee, Thou’rt lying in ruins, we mourn for thee. Thou’rt lying in ruins—never again We’ll meet as we’ve met, in sunshine or rain, Never shall meet at the call of the bell, It long since has sounded that note—farewell. Farewell—o’er hill and valley it sounded, Farewell—each grove the echo resounded, Farewell—the saddest, the loneliest note That has, or will e’er on the glad air float. Lonely the sounding, and sad was the knell When peal’d o’er our Hill that mournful farewell; Falling were tears when that silvery chime Broke on the silence and for the last time, The last time ’twould sound from that belfry tow’r Whore oft it had noted the passing hour. Well may we weep when to drea?y decay Is consign’d the halls ot the young and the gay �[; MAINE WESLEYAN SEMINARY. Many’, oh, yes, very many have met In these once proud halls, who cannot forget Who’ll never forget the days of the past/ ind hours that were all too blissful to last. What one of the many who’ve gather’d here In these now ruin’d balls but holds them dear, Who of them will tell us this lovely spot,— Hill, valley and lakelet are now forgot? dill, valley and lakelet!—how lovely they lay' lath’d in the light of a glad summer day, 3r wrap’d in a silv’ry veil by the moon, 111 hush’d in the silence of nights’ still noon, That mystic hour when, we have all heard say, sprites o’er the earth are wending their way. ?erchance it is so, or, it may be not, 8ut this 1 know, it were a dreary lot for us, poor mortals, if there were no space 3n our earth for a spirit’s resting place, if we’d not one guardian angel to keep Us safe on the way over life’s rough deep. Many, old fane, ay, many there be When they hear of thy full, will weep for thee. Many will pay the sad tribute—a sigh To the mem’ry of days long since gone by, To the mem’ry' of friends, the lov’d, the dear— Dearer perchance that they first met them here— Here, where, from the censer, kind Learning flung incense over the shrine where knelt the young. Of that beautiful band, the bright, the gay, Many, yes, many have passed away,— Many, who here, in their hour of bloom, □nee met, now rest in the shadowy tomb; But friendship’s strong chain that once link’d us here Is binding us now to a brighter sphere, A happier, lovelier band than this, May we meet them there in their bow’rs of bliss. But turn we from tho’ts of the blessed now, To those who, perchance, with a care-worn brow, Are struggling on in this world of strife, And find that the dreams that they drenm’d of life,— [rhe beautiful viaionn that gather d heie Iwere not of this earth, but a brighter sphere, ll'.lse were this world too lovely—oh, yes! l\Ve else should forget there is greater bliss, flight cease to reinember our fairer home, MAINE WESLEYAN SEMINARY. 1 1 1 And be all too willing on earth to roam. Those visions of bliss, of beauty and heav’n On the threshold of life alone are giv’n. Alas, for us, as we cuter life’s hall Those gleams are hid by a shadowy pall, Spread over them by the fingers of care, Alas, for hopes of the young and the fair, Alas, that a worldly spirit should fling A cloud and a shade o’er youths’ bright spring. Yet Memory rules—and now with her hand She has raised the veil, and her magic wand Has bidden sorrow depart for awhile, I Her sceptre is moving. Ah ! see that bright isle That rests on the shaded sea of the past, See now, into beauty ’tis gath’ringfast. Look, look! and behold those radiant flow’rs, We have seen them before—our school-day hours,— The joys that are flitting with rainbow wings, And such radiance on that fair isle flings, Alone could have rear’d to beauty so rare The flow’rs of joy that arc blossoming there, The veil rises higher,—I see a band A smile on each lip, a book in each hand. A bell is ringing—with hurrying feet They’re hastening in yonder ball to meet. The teacher is there—with a kindly' smile He welcomes each as they enter the while. Tasks are recited—some timidly meek, With trembling arise—with diffidence speak— Others repeating with voice loud and bold— Their well conn’d lesson is speedily told; On the brow of a few a proud seal is set, They’ll rule in the halls of the Senate yet. Those are there who have thoughts of the boundless sea,’ “Like an eagle caged” they’ pine to be free. I fear me much some are thinking to weave The poets sweet song. Oh, much I should grieve, If any one there, in that happy band, Should give their best tho’ts to a stranger band, Should forma lyre of their hearts’ finest strings, The breath of the world breathes there, and it wrings From the harp a moan, where music should be, Alas! for the poets’ sad destiny. The lessons arc told—the prayer now is done, Afar m the west, as a king, rides the sun, Again is the sounding and hurry of feet Again does a band with welcomings meet. �MAINE WESLEYAN SEMINARY.

I They are winding now in the vale by the hill, I And now they have paused by a babbling rill I Where a sweet cascade in mimicry plays, I It looks like a haunt for naiads and fays.’ The botany class have met in the bower, See! they have pluck’d a wild-wood flower, I hear them telling the order and class As fall its torn petals abroad on the grass. rTis lovely “Viola,” with meek blue eye, I They rudely have rent and left her to die, The queen of the flow’rs must think with myself Oh! Science! thou art a stern, cruel elf, Thus, mangled and torn, to cast at your feet The loveliest gem of this sylvan retreat. Again in gay groups they hasten along, Now echoes a laugh—now echoes a song. Lengthen the shadows—now rises the moon, Bright hours ye have sped, ye hasten too soon, Laden with leaves, sweet buds, and sweet bells,— Fast are they leaving the bow’rs and the dells, Seeking their rooms with a wealth of rich thought From woodland and vale, and bright flower caught. ’Tis.night!—how calmly, how gently they sleep! Their watchings bright angels over them keep; But scarcely has risen the morning sun Ere each is aroused and their tasks begun: i Oh, how pleasant a task to gather flowers I From gardens of science and learning’s bowers. The days have pass’d quickly, and Friday night Has come. In school-days how rapid Time’s flight!. A glad joyous shout rings out on the air, Farewell for a day to study and care. A long day is theirs for walk or for play, Now see them to ball or grace-hoop away; Some here, and some there, now gaily they trip, With joy-glancing eye and gay smiling lip. Ah! this world has no hour so joyous—believe— Or bright than the students gay Friday eve. Oh! Mem’ry, we thank thee for the blest pow’r Thou hast to soothe us in each weeping hour, (HowS'the words mmeT’hiever forget.” And lovely thou art, oft with painter’s hand Thou makest of the past a picture land. If darkness there was thou has softened the shade, If light was too strong—its brightness allayed, Thy colors on the canvas glow more fair Than we had hoped—when Hope was sketching there, Hope, that so fondly here once seem’d to roam, That I tho’t this earth would e’er be her home, Has fled. She plum’d her many color’d wings, Now near the gates of fadeless beauty sings. Cease, cease, my fond heart—thy throbbings, oh, cease, Hope sings nearer Heaven, oh, look there for peace. My harp return 1—and bid thy strain Be near the ruin’d hall again. J 7 Many a student who’s heard the bell Sending sweet music thro’ woodland and dell, Calling from circle or leafy bower All those who must meet at reciting hour, Or the bell that each evening call’d them, where Their spirits should bow in humble prayer, Will deem, oftentimes, that they hear it now, When the Spirit of Dreams her bright wings bow To the shaded earth. They will dream the gay Are yet untouch’d by the breath of decay, That their smiles are yet glad—their steps yet light, And their hearts unstain’d by mildew and blight. They will dream affection has not grown weak, That distrust has never, with vulture beak, And talons, struck deep in the trusting heart, Till they bade the life-spring of Love depart. They will dream that friendship has not grown cold. That hearts are unsoil’d with a wish for gold, They will dream their wealth is still a flower, And all that Nature has, giv’n as dower To hearts that love her. They’ll dream, and the past With its lovely scenes, will come thronging fast. They will dream such dreams till the glare of day With its thousand cares will fright them away. And yet, tho’ the past you cannot forget, Tho’ but in dreams it will visit you yet, Look to the prize that is yet to be won— And on! let thy course be ever right on! And carefully fold up the pinions of thought Over the work that is yet to be wrought Now set the standard! and let it be high What tho’ it waving should meet with'th’e sky’ What tho’ its folds should envelop a star? J Would’stdeem the banner hud floated too far’ No, let it only in Heaven find rest— Let not its foldings by earth be caress’d. �MAIME WESLEYAN SEMINARY. ■ 0 MAINE WESLEYAN SEMINARY. ■■ Tho’ ns mortals, ours is a lowly lot, Scarce dare essay one simple note, That might, an echo, onward float. I scarce dare sing, in humble lays, The names that merit loftier praise, Yet, if the heart’s deep rev’rence pay, For simple note, for humble lay, I’ll even onward with my song, And know that they who linger’d long— In days gone by, long linger’d here, Still love these names, love and revere. I As living immortals,—we know it is not! I The mind, the mighty, all glorious mind, I What tho’ it now with this earth be entwined? I Is it not sublime, in a world such ns this, I Tho’ stain’d, to mate with the spirits of bliss? I Is it not grand, tho’ our way it be dark, I 'Thatyet we possess one radiant spark? I' Glorious! all brilliant! that never’s to die, I Each hour showing clear that its destiny’s high! | Know, that laying our clay prison aside I We mount into Heav’n, an angel our guide? I Know, tho’ bound in so narrow a place, The home of the spirit, is space, all spnce? , And tho’ we’re imprison’d, we know not why, | In a world such as this, our home is the sky? Then bend the pinions of thought to the sun! I Faint not, oh 1 rest not, the goal may be won! I Onward and upward, thy course shall be free, I And thy rest with thy God eternally be. ’ Many have met here who’ll ne’er meet again, I Some died on the green earth, some on the main, I And some are ploughing its bright waters yet, I And some are where lovely Islands are set, I Like gems on the ocean. Why went they there? I They have gone to teach the dark Indian pray’r— B They left their homes and the beauties that wrought ■ Around those homes by associate thought. I And I think me now of one noble youth* B Who caught, from this altar, bright sparks of Truth, I He tho’t to have left his lov’d native strand I As missionary to a distant land, I With the dearest one on earth by his side F He deem’d it not hard to brave the rough tide I Of “Old Ocean:” but alas, for the love I Of earth. Her spirit like a weary dove I Fled to its home in God. From that same hour I He languish’d, as if her love had power I To bind his heart to earth: the chain was riv’n, I He long’d to bind the broken link in Heav’n. He linger’d here not long, but droop’d and died, . In peace now he rests on the green hill-sido.

His manner gently mild, His voice was kind As music wind, I lov’d him, as loveth a child. 1 He had a brother here before. But him, I never knew, But many say, That, every day. All knew and lov’d him more; And they often have said That they all mourn him dead, All those who knew him here, And oft I know I have seen flow, To his mein’ry, a silent tear. My childhood’s years were passing away, When Larabee knelt in these halls to pray, The kind, the noble, the lofty, the true, All lov’d him well who his goodness knew. He had ever a tear for those who wept, His steps were where sorrow its vigils kept. Here might my lyre cease full well, It cannot of his virtues tell.

He came with a sad, but a gentle smile, He sought from our hearts dark sorrow to wile, In kindness he came, and drear carking care Fled from our roof with its look of despair. A widow’d heart blesses, and orphans pray That his path with flowers may spring alway, That never a stormy cloud may arise To dim one star of his home paradise. Oh! yes, we will beg kind Heaven to save His generous heart front sorrow’s dark wave. And many whose youth with sadness grew dim, Whom his kindness has cheer’d, will pray for him. Do you not recall where his cottage stood Embower’d in trees almost like a 'wood ? And the garden where his amiable wife Hnd planted sweet flow’rs, till the air seem’d rife With sweeter perfume than ever might rest On a gale just wafted from Araby blest?

Oft I visit them now, but one by one, They, too, are departing, since she is gone. Ah! rude, rude harp, so rough thy strain, How dare I touch thy chords again! Yet, Allen, some kind thoughts of thee— Kind thoughts in mem’ry set, Thoughts of past days, the gay, the free, That I can ne’er forget. My girlhood’s earliest days were when Thy footsteps linger’d here, And I was glad, and gay, and then I dream’d not of a fear. To those whose brightest hours wcro spent When thy smile lighten’d here, Thon’lt come with many mem’nes blent, Of joys that ask a—tear. Torsev, thy voice was last, that here Echoed oft with kindly cheer, But it were hardly meet for me To sing the praises due to thee, Yet might I sing what others say, I’ll hasten onward with my lay. I need not tell, the midnight oil Hath been a witness of thy toil, For who ere gain’d a height as thou, Without a trace upon their brow— Of tho’t, such tho’t as only’s found, When all is hush’d and silent round, But tho’ it have no line to trace, Its secret tells its dwelling place. And leaves a light where ere it rest, As tho’ with angel seal imprest. I need not say, that oft, thy feet Seeks Nature in her green retreat, Nor that thou lovest all that’s giv’n As links to bind us unto Heav’n, For who has seen and cannot tell The beauty drawn from Nature’s well, That leaves a light, we know not how, Of better thought upon the brow. Nor will Isay thy low-toned voice Has made the desolate rejoice,— But well I know a sad one’s prayer, Is sent to Heav’n for thy welfare. Oft as the garish light of day Has wrap’d itself in mantle gray, I’ve listened to thy eloquence, And held my breath in rapt suspense, And I have seen the throng, as bound Their every sense in that of sound, List to the melodious rush Of thy grand thoughts, that like the rush Of mighty torrents’ influence, Held all bound with power intense. E’en seem like those, which we are told Were bound in stone by magi old, Only we know the strong of mind Have sway o’er all, of deeper kind Than they in fairy times of yore, As sung in tales of minstrel lore. Oh! much we hope thy coming days May be all that thy morning rays Of life foretell they yet may be, How bright then’s thy futurity. �11 MAINE WESLEYAN SEMINARY, Opso, cease, my harp, thy forward song, Lest he should weary, ’tis so long.

Has any told All beauty that the stars enfold? No, we may worship from afar, Who is there that loves not a star? We see them radiantly bright, And blesss them for their lovely light. Has any ask’d the gentle show’r, And it has told them of its power To renovate the drooping flow’r? The stars and showers’ influence, Are types of his benevolence.

With an aching heart, pierced by the keenest arrows of affliction — with fondly cherished hopes blighted — with feelings of sensibility stung to the very quick by the wrongs and injustice which I feel have been done to a near and dear one, as also to myself and my family, I come before you, kind readers, to tell the sad story of my bereavement and my afflictions. I cannot promise you a literary work. If I can present my story of sorrow, my ideas, and views in language that you can compre­ hend, you will please overlook my awkward style, and want of literature; and you will “ pardon something ” to the feelings of a bereaved parent. If I shall appear too zealous in the performance of what I feel to be a duty, I will say to you in the lan­ guage of Job, —"Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips. Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.” The reading portion of the community, generally, in Maine, and thousands out of this State, have heard of the sad tragedy which transpired at Auburn, near Lewis­ ton, not long since: how M. Louise Greene, a student at the Female College at Kent’s Hill, Me., left that institution in a wretched state of mind, on the 23d day of May, 1866, travelled to Lewiston, was seen weeping in Auburn, purchased poison, and mysteriously disappeared; how her father, for many weary and anxious days and weeks,’searched in and around Lewiston for his lost child; how he em­ ployed detectives, circulated handbills and photographs all over the State; while the kind and sympathizing people of Lewiston, Auburn, Lisbon, and other places generously assisted him in many ways, and by hundreds, in searching the wood, the canals, end river to no purpose; and how her bleached remains were accidentally discovered in a lonely spot in the forest, in Auburn, in October following. They have also seen, in some of the journals of the day, paragraphs, afloat in the country, containing the statement that she was detected in pilfering on Kent’s Hill, and committed suicide. This Is nearly all that the public generally know of the matter, except what busy tongues, and sometimes prejudiced, have breathed, often incor­ rectly, into the public ear. Thus, thousands, who otherwise would never have heard her name, heard it, for the first time, coupled with infamy and disgrace. �IV PREFACE. This M. Louise Greene was our daughter, our oldest child, — who for twenty-two years had been the recipient of a father’s indulgent care, a mother's kindest affec­ tions, — one whom we loved and doted on, and for whoso physical comfort and intellectual culture and improvement we had been sparing of neither pains nor money. Her kind affections ever clung to us, as tne tendrils of the vine cling to the oak which protects it. While living, she looked to us for counsel and protection; and though now dead and lost to us forever, as a father I will be faithful to her memory, and protect it, as far as in me lies, against false stigma and unjust reproach. I have carefully and candidly investigated this affair with the zeal and scrutiny of a deeply interested father, and have formed the opinion that my daughter was the victim of prejudice, improper treatment, erroneous or injudicious management, or culpable neglect. This is the settled conviction of my mind, whether real or imaginary, from which I cannot recede after months of reflection. To me it appears that some party or parties other than herself are culpable and responsible before God, if not before human laws, for this sad and afflicting occurrence. “ To err is human.” If I am in error, after giving the facts and circumstances on which I base my opinion, — if the public shall decide that I have no cause, — I stand corrected. In view of the condition of the case, and of the many rumors and state­ ments that had been sent afloat, seemingly for effect, to exonerate the culpable and reflect on the character of my child, — after gathering up her bleached yet precious remains from the forest, where they had lain in silence for months, and given them a proper burial, —I felt that I still owed an important duty to her memory, which I could not go down to the grave and leave unperformed. This duty was to lay be­ fore the public, in an intelligible form, a portion of the circumstances and facts which led me to form the opinion I have before expressed, that others may, in a measure, have the means of judging for themselves whether or not I have reasons for my conclusions, and whether or not my daughter was guilty of such enormous offences that her earthly hopes and future prospects should have been blighted and forever extinguished. V �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. The charges, or allegations, preferred against Louise, as far as I have been advised, were, in substance, these: that in her and her chum’s room were found several articles of wearing apparel that were not her own, but belonged to others connected with the institution ;—that she took five dol­ lars in money from the room of one of the students; —that she had in her possession a skeleton key. I propose now to introduce to my 'readers some facts, circumstances, testimony, letters, and certificates, and leave them, after a careful and can­ did perusal, to form their own opinions, and judge for themselves whether or not the following propositions are not amply sustained, namely: That the printed rules of the institution at Kent’s Hill, “ to have all articles of clothing put in the zcash plainly marked with the owner’s name,” was not enforced or adhered to, but that many articles sent to the wash by teachers, students, and even the help, were unmarked; — that much of the clothing could be recognized only by the quality of the cloth, or the peculiar malic, stitches, or hems ; — that articles not uufrcqucntly got exchanged, and fi-equently lost, and that exchanges would naturally and innocently occur; — that for students to take articles from the unmarked pile, not their own, when their own were missing, was not only practised, but allowed, if not advised, by those having charge of that department; — that the articles found in L.’s and her mate’s room, of which she had any knowledge, and which were not hers, were there by necessity, and not by theft, her own being gone ; — that Miss Case and others claimed and took from L.’s and her chum’s room some unmarked articles, claiming them as their own, when the chances arc equal that they were Louise’s ;—that there is no proof that all the articles found in that room, and said to belong to others, were there by any act of L.’s, or that they were all there at the time she left, mid that all those articles not her own, of which she had any knowledge, she took without any concealment, in lieu of her own, with no intention of keeping 5 �6 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORM. them; —that, at the time of taking the five dollars, she was suffering under partial, if not serious mental aberration, and the act was to her a mystery, no less than to her fellow-students, who knew her character, and to her friends everywhere; and that while she could not account for the act, she did not equivocate nor deny it, but confessed and restored without hesita­ tion, when no evidence or proof was attempted to bo brought against her; — that up to this occurrence, from her childhood, she had sustained, both at home aud abroad, an irreproachable character ; — that she was a pro­ fessor of Christianity, and lived a virtuous life ; — that in searching and • examining to fix the guilt of theft upon her, but little leniency or feeling of mercy was manifested towards her; — that attempts were made, while in her “ distracted state of mind,” to fix upon her the theft of other things which had been missed, and to impress upon her already bewildered mind the “ enormity of the crime ” of which they accused her ; — that she was accused, tried, condemned, and virtually expelled from the school,— as she understood it, — only two weeks before she expected to graduate, without the benefit of counsel or assistance, or a consultation with father, mother, or friends, and informed by Dr. Torsey, that “ she had better leave that day,” the very day on which she did leave ; — that she left that day in the morning, in a state of extreme mental excitement, in her soiled every-day apparel, after divesting herself of her jewelry, and taking nothing but her reticule with her; — that it was known to Dr. T. that she had so left in the forencon, and concern and fears were expressed to him that she would destroy herself before night; yet no means were taken to watch, follow, or protect her, until her sister, at six o’clock in the afternoon, was sent home,f a distance of twenty-five miles in a direction opposite to that L. had taken, to give me information, where she did not arrive till twelve o’clock that night; — that the skeleton key was given her years before, by a student, and kept as a kind of keepsake; and that while having the key was charged against her as a crime, no attempt has ever been made to prove that “ she ever used it wrongfully; ”— that a prejudice had existed against her, which had been indulged previous to this last affair; — that threats had been made to her, seemingly on account of this prejudice ; — that she had suffered under such threats, till there existed in her mind a presentiment that she should never graduate, which had been frequently expressed to her friends; — that in fact she did not find at that institution that “ safe and pleasant home ” which she had been promised by their circulars ; but that, being driven to despair by cruel or indiscreet acts, she was left, by her promised protectors, with indifference, to self-destruction. In order that my readers may understand the position, condition, and �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 7 standing of Louise at the time this affair occurred, which commenced on the 21st and terminated on the 23d day of May, 1SGG, I will give a brief outline of the history of her connection with this institution. In March, 18G1, we carried our daughter, M. Louise, to Kent’s Hill, Readfield, Maine, where she entered, as a student, the Maine W. Seminary, located at that place. After a preparatory course of two years, she entered the Female College department, for a three years’ course of hard study. She accomplished all the studies, and advanced in all the branches she was required to study, to the satisfaction of her teachers and friends. She successfully studied Latin, French, German, and various other studies required in the course, together with book-keeping, drawing, wax-work, pencil-drawing, and oil painting. A large number of drawings and oil paintings, executed by her, are left in our hands, which will attest to her proficiency in these branches, and .to her genial powers to accomplish much in the fine arts. When she was three years of age she was sick for a long time, and it was with the utmost care and exertion that we succeeded in saving her life. Again, from the age of twelve to seventeen, her health was extremely poor; so feeble that she lost much of the advantage and opportunity of common­ school education. At an early age she exhibited much tact and aptness in learning, espe­ cially in spelling. At the age of twelve, she composed and wrote, unaided by any one, quite an interesting story, which was published at the time. She soon became much interested in literature, and desired a liberal educa­ tion. We wished the same (when I say ice, the kind reader will understand that I mean myself, and the afflicted and loving mother of our deceased child), but did not think her health would admit of the attempt until she was seventeen years of age, when we took her, hesitatingly, to that relig­ ious institution, being somewhat influenced and induced to this step by the • promise and inducement held out in their circular, which gave us the assur­ ance of our there finding “ a safe and pleasant home” for our daughter. For the purpose of showing the blandishment of that assurance, and the fidelity with which, in my case, it has been carried out, I will quote a few sentences from the circular, which is now before me : — “ Most of the teachers board with the students, and no reasonable pains are spared to promote the comfort and improvement of the boarders. Par­ ents may feel assured that their sons and daughters will find here a safeand pleasant home. Students will furnish their own sheets, pillow-cases, • towels, and toilet soap ; and they should see that every article for washing is plainly marked with the owner’s name.” �8 i THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. Louise continued a student at this institution until May 23, 18GG. She had been successful in her studies, the goal of her ambition was almost reached, and she expected to graduate with honor in two weeks, and receive her diploma. I had no notice of her being in any trouble at school until the evening of May 23, at twelve o’clock. At midnight my third daughter, Chestina, arrived home in a state of extreme excitement, and informed me of the case, and that L. had left the Hill, in an awful state of mind, and gone towards Lewiston. I was informed that she was accused of taking things not belonging to her. Subsequently I had a specification of these charges from the pen of Dr. T. himself. In a letter to me dated June 30, 1866, he says : “ The facts, I believe, are these: Louise sent, at different times, bundles of clothing to the wash, from which were taken by the wash-girl five articles of clothing not hers. In her room were found nine or ten articles, some of them marked, and some of them not having been sent to the wash, — some of them belonging out of the building. Before they were shown her, she denied she had such articles in her room. The money she took and put out of her hands at once. For three years she had kept a skeleton key opening all of the students’ rooms.” Prof. Robinson, in a letter dated November 12, 1866, makes the follow­ ing statement: “ The facts in the case are these : after as private an inves­ tigation as possible, Miss Greene acknowledged that she had taken several articles that did not belong to her; also, that she had taken money from one of the young ladies ; also, that she had had in her possession, for two years, a false key, which would open most all the students’ rooms in the college.” The public now have before them all the charges made against my daughter by the authorities of the institution at Kent’s Hill, in the lan­ guage of the president, and one other member of the faculty. It will be noticed that the first was written to me, at a time when it seemed possible that my daughter was yet alive, while the latter was written to another person, after it was known that L.’s tongue was forever silent. It is a bold and positive statement, not qualified by an “ I believe,” of which, in its proper place, I will take further notice before I have done. These charges have been reiterated and circulated, and, in their circula­ tion, have been magnified and put in their worst possible form, until a por­ tion of the community have been led to the conclusion that her character was truly so infamous, that her friends’ mouths were so completely closed, that they dare not appear before the public in her defence. Certain talka­ tive persons have said: “ Mr. Greene dare not make a statement of her �I i THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 9 case to the public.” Even certain Methodist clergymen, as I am informed, have alluded to this matter in their churches, reiterating Dr T.’s fourteen or fifteen counts.against L., evidently with prejudice against the deceased, or to clear Dr. T. and the faculty from censure. The misconstruction put upon the language of L.’s letter to her class, — brief extracts only being given to the public, — the misquotation of her let­ ter, and other damaging insinuations and acts, have determined me to lay that letter, and some others, before the public, that public opinion may have some more reliable base than incorrect rumors, or pretended and prejudiced quotations. It is not that I seek controversy, or would willingly enter the arena be­ fore the public uncalled by duty; but that I seek at the tribunal of public opinion that justice to my loved, lost, and unfortunate child which was de­ nied her elsewhere; and I feel confident that, before this Superior Bench, though the heavens fall, it will be awarded her, however high in community may stand those who would deny her it. You will bear with me patiently, kind readers, when you consider that almost all the direct aud important testimony in this sad case is in the pos­ session of those whose fame and interest might require that its dark feat­ ures should be withheld from public gaze; aud that she who was the re­ cipient of the wrong — if wrong was done her — now sleeps in death. Iler silent tongue can make no reply, nor testify as to what grating or burning words crushed her hopes, broke her heart, distracted her brain, aud severed her ties to life forever. You will be aware that I shall be under the necessity of going over much ground to get at the circumstances and facts bearing on this ease, in order to give the public a proper understanding of the whole affair. As to the character of Louise, I cannot, perhaps, better express my views, knowledge, and opinion, than to repeat what we said to Dr. T. at a faculty meeting, at which myself .and wife were present, one week after L. left the Hill. In answer to the charges there brought against her we said: “ We do know that a more honest, upright, aud truthful girl than was L., when she came here, never came under your care. She was strictly honest from a child ; and if she is now dishonest you have made her so. She has been under your care and control three-fourths of the time for five years past, and you are, in a great measure, responsible for her character.” Dr. T., in the course of the conversation that day, told us that hitherto our daughter’s character had been irreproachable. Miss Case, the precep­ tress, told me, in substance, the same, on the second day after L. left. She said, in substance, that no suspicion had ever rested on L., aud that �\ 8 r r THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. Louise continued a student at this institution until May 23, 18GG.

I have kept the central post-office of Peru all of the time since I moved into tliis town. Having no boys to assist me, and L. being naturally active and expert with the pen, when at home, was much in the store, assisting me in the post-office, and in waiting on customers, frequently having the whole care and charge in my absence,— thereby becoming acquainted with a great portion of the citizens of the town.

Her truth­ fulness, honesty, integrity, virtue, and fidelity were never subjects of doubt or suspicion in this community. “Being naturally kind-hearted, and of a very sensitive temperament, she was generous and charitable, and a ready sympathizer with suffering humanity. “ While we freely and unhesitatingly bear’ testimony to the virtue and good character of this lamented young lady, justice to her memory impels us to say, that in our opinion, whatever unfortunate circumstance or occur­ rence might have operated, directly or indirectly, as the primary cause of her untimely end, it was not her fault or crime, but her misfortune. 1 �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 15 “ Town Officer for 1866.

Churchill.” The reader perhaps may ask, How did it happen that, contrary to the rules of the institution, requiring “ every article for the wash to be plainly marked,” your daughter’s clothing was not all properly marked ? In ex­ planation, I will here state that the first term she went to that school, and boarded in the college building, all her articles of wearing apparel, hand­ kerchiefs, and such things as go into the wash, were plainly marked, as required by the rules of the institution; but this did not protect them. She lost, at that term, three pairs of black woollen stockings, plainly marked “ M. L. G.” with red woollen yarn; two linen handkerchiefs, plainly marked ; one pair high rubbers; one good umbrella; and three dollars in money, — it being all she had at the time. She immediately wrote home to know, or inquire, what she had better do about it. Her mother sent her more money, and replaced the articles lost, and said to her, “ If you make a stir about the matter your chum will be suspected, ' and as she is sent there by the kindness of her friends, and is a poor girl, it may seriously injure her by destroying their confidence ; and you had better lose the money.” This was in 1861, when she had not the same room-mate as when she left the Hill. Soon after this a dollar’s worth of postage-stamps were taken from a book in her trunk. Being postmaster, and having a supply of stamps, I thought best to furnish her with a suffi­ cient number to last her through the term. The money and stamps were lost in the early part of the term. Louise did not think it was her chum that took the money or stamps. At the close of this term I carried my second daughter, Estelle, down to the closing exhibition. On the way down she purchased a pair of long mitts, for which she paid a dollar. Leaving them in Louise’s room while she went to a meal, on returning she r �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 17 found they had disappeared, She never found them. She lost, ?lso, at that time, a black veil there. During her second term Louise lost some small articles, such as hand­ kerchiefs and towels, and one plainly marked chemise. Third term she lost one pair lace under-sleeves, one flannel under-skirt, marked, and two marked nightcaps. Fourth term: one pair sandal rubbers, new that term. Fifth term : one pair marked ruffled drawers, some napkins, and a handkerchief. Sixth term : one pair of spotted muslin under-sleeves, three pairs of white woollen stockings, — all she had, and all plainly marked. Seventh term: one veil, some napkins, and other small articles. Eighth term : she lost one new cotton skirt, marked on the inside of the binding, one wide red silk scarf. And, in fact, at every term when she boarded in the college building, she lost more or less of such articles as napkins, towels, handkerchiefs, veils, gloves, drawers, stockings, etc., etc. Marking appeared not to protect her against loss, nor prevent articles from mysteri­ ously disappearing. In this condition of things, was it any wonder that we should become remiss or careless about seeing that every article was “ plainly marked ” ? And was our daughter alone guilty and censurable for such neglect, when other students, and even her teacher, one of the faculty, could go into her room, and, without hesitation or apology, claim and take unmarked articles therefrom which came from the unmarked pile sent to the wash? Louise’s mother would sometimes upbraid her for meeting with so many losses. She would reply, “Am I to blame for these losses? I put these articles into the wash. They were lost there, and not returned to me. Some of them may yet turn up. We do sometimes get them, after a long while.” The high price of board at the college, and the annoyance of losing clothing in the manner I have just stated, induced me, in the fall of 18G5._ (being Louise’s thirteenth term) to hire a room in Sir. A. Packard’s house, where Louise and her two sisters set up house-keeping, so far as to board themselves, while attending school. While they boarded themselves in this house, which was through Louise’s thirteenth and fourteenth terms, they hired a lady to wash for them, and every article was returned to them correctly. There was no more trouble about losing clothing until Louise went back to the college building to board, in March, I860. This was her fifteenth and last term at this school, and she was to have graduated at the close of this term. As soon as she came in contact with this loose practice of mixing unmarked articles of clothing, she began to lose again both marked and unmarked articles. She went to board in the college just 2 �r 18 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORP. eleven weeks before she was sent away, or “ advised to leave,” on the 23d of May, 18G6. Had she continued to board with her sister in the Packard house (which had been purchased by Dr. T.) through this her last term, I have no doubt she would have graduated, and would have been now living. I charged Dr. T., in that faculty meeting to which I have before alluded, with permitting a practice in its nature demoralizing to the young, by allowing the rule, of having articles for the wash “plainly marked,” to be disregarded; that it had a tendency to lead them to dishonesty. I now repeat the charge, and will explain how I found matters connected with the washing business, or laundry, and leave the public to judge whether I was, and am, right. The disposition of articles of clothing washed and ironed I found to be in this wise: — All marked articles, sent down to be washed by two girls who occupy a certain room,— for example, we will say No. 20, — are washed, ironed, and put into a box by the side of the room marked No. 20, corresponding with the number of the room from which they came. But if there were unmarked articles, they could not be so put into the right boxes, as the person who irons them could not possibly tell where they belonged, but they were thrown in a pile on a large table. Thus the unmarked clothing of sixty girls, more or less, from about thirty-three rooms, would make a very large pile, from which, at the usual time, the girls came in and hastily selected such articles as they thought were their own. There was no person to see to the delivery of them ; so said Mrs Dagget, the matron, who showed us the condition of things, and told us that there was a great pile of unmarked articles of various descriptions, from the smallest to the largest, which came from the rooms of these sixty female students, and were deposited on this table; and that the girls came in squads, or singly, and after taking their marked articles from the boxes, if they had any that were unmarked, or if, by mistake, some that were dimly or unplainly marked had got on to the table with the unmarked ones, they went sometimes in a lively mood and in a hurly-burly hastily and thoughtlessly selected from the pile, as before stated, there being no one to look after ami deliver the clothing. In this state of things, I would ask, would not many mintuLci be very likely to occur? Would it not be very easy for any one, who should feel disposed so to do, to say, “I have lost such and hucIi arl.iclea,”-- whether t hey have or not, — and take from this common pile article > not, their own, an it m known to all that nobody is rcHponidble for ouch unmarked clothing? Thom* who wash aud iron fully under.itand that, they cannot ho hold reiipousiblo for the return of this amount of iinmmlo'd Indies’ clothing, of every description. Was it strange tbat I,ouicloilimg .hould 1'3'1, nilscd up with others’, and that ibr arti- �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 19 cles she had lost in the wash she should take others to wear, until her own should “ turn up”? However wrong it might be, it was a practice, as it appears, that was indulged to some considerable extent at that insti­ tution. In my judgment the faculty are censurable for this palpable disregard of this their printed standing rule. It was, as I told them in the faculty meeting, demoralizing to the young, and alike tempting to students and those who bad the care of, or access to, the laundry, to allow such a prac­ tice to exist. It would have been very easy to have said to the laundress, “ Return every unmarked article to the room from whence it came, unwashed ; ” or, “ Return the bundles containing such articles, and say to those to whom they belong, ‘Nothing will be washed, until the well-known rule of the school is complied with.’” Had this been done, my child, I believe, would have been this day living. Who is responsible for her fate? Why should the “ sin of omission ” be passed over in silence, while the act to which it directly leads is dealt with without mercy, palliation, or for­ bearance ? The reason of Louise’s leaving self-boarding at the Packard house, and going to the college building, was that the rest of her class seven in number, were all going there to board through this their last term, and it was deemed advisable, by her and us, that she should go with them. She did go directly from the Packard house to the college, the same day that I took Estelle, her eldest sister, home. Estelle helped her pick up her clothing, and other things, to take to the college, thereby knowing what she had to take with her there. In two weeks after Louise went to the college building to board, her mother went down to carry our third daughter, Chestina, to the school, and to the same room to board which L. and E. had occupied the previous term. She carried also articles of clothing to Louise. In about seven weeks Mrs. Greene went to Kent’s Hill again, to carry provisions to the* self-boarder and clothes and money to both. At this time L. remarked to her mother that she and others were losing things iu the wash worse than ' ever, and named several articles she had lost. This was about ten days before L. left the Hill. When Mrs. G. arrived at the Hill, on this visit, she found that L. had not been up much through the day, and complained of her head, and said “ she had experienced much severe pain in her head, — had strange sensations in her eyes and head, and was afraid her head would be in as bad a condition as it was some years ago,” before she came to Kent’s Hill. Some seven or eight years previously L. was so severely afflicted with neuralgia, as to incapacitate her for much physical or mental �20 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. labor, and it prevented her from attending the town schools, much of the time, for nearly two years, — her head, especially, being much disordered. In a conversation with her mother, at the time I have alluded to, being the last time they ever saw each other, she said, “ I feel so tired that I think, after I get through here, I shall want to sleep all summer.” An old student, who had not attended school at that institution for about a year, writes me, and says: “ I saw her a short time before her death, and she seemed to be considerably worn out by hard study. I think if the thing could have been kept quiet, and she allowed to graduate, the offence would not have been atoned for by her life.” Before her return home, Mrs. G. went with L. to Lewiston to make va­ rious purchases preparatory for exhibition, and other purposes. On return­ ing to the Hill, Mrs. G. found that L. was much worn and tired out. The fatigue and many demands on her, — the much she had to do and attend to,— her studies, composition, exhibition-piece to write and prepare to read on the stage, — the excitement as the time of graduation was drawing near, — how she should appear, and how succeed, — all combined, wrought heavily upon her tired and worn constitution, and overtaxed mind, ■which had endured the pressure, the wear and tear of five years of close mental labor. A constant and terrible fear, which had troubled her mind for two years, — that the prejudice, which she conceived had existed against lier, in the miifds of a portion of the faculty, and with Dr. T. in particular, would be brought to bear, and tell against her, to prevent her from gradu­ ating, — now haunted her with renewed intensity, as the time drew near. She seemed to have a presentiment that she should never graduate, and often expressed it. All these things had operated, with her physical weak ness, nervous temperament, and sensitive nature, to nearly dethrone rea son ; so much so, that when Mrs. G. left her, only nine days before L. left, the Hill, she caught hold of her mother’s dress, and made a singular and wild request, of which Mrs. G. informed me when she returned home. In writing to me, another old student says: “ I went tb Lewiston at the time she and her mother did. I noticed that she was remarkably still; that is, did not appear so cheerful as she was wont. I had been well ac­ quainted with her for some four years. I have no doubt in my mind that she was not herself at the time. I have thought all the time that she studied so hard as to affect her mind.” I have named these circumstances, that the public can judge whether L. was in a condition of mind to endure the severe and heartless ordeal through which, with no mother or earthly friend on whom to lean, she was forced to pass ; and to see if the heart of charity among my readers can �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 21 find nothing that will plead in extenuation of the guilt of that act, com­ mitted only a few days after the period to which I have alluded. They will also explain the condition of L.’s mind, and why she said to Miss Case, when she and Mrs. Daggett were ransacking Chestina’s and Miss Reed’s room, to see if they could not find more articles that others would claim, “ I feel so strange ! I wish I could think; but I can’t.” These expressions were made after this Christian lady had so welt suc­ ceeded in impressing upon the mind of her old pupil, whose “ character had hitherto been irreproachable,” the “ enormity of her crime.” These cir­ cumstances, before named, will show whether L. was a Ct subject, at that time, upon whom that cold-hearted yet fluent lady ought to have exercised her power of language, further to confuse and distract her mind. And they likewise show why L. said in that memorable class-letter: “I think, maybe I am not exactly as I used to be, while I write this, for my head whirls, and I cannot seem to think, — to say what I am trying to say; ” and also in her last letter to her sister: “ If I know myself, it was not the true, real Louise Greene that'did this. She was trying to live an honest, womanly life ; or. if she was indeed drifting into disgrace, she never real­ ized it.” Who will doubt that, under prolonged mental labor, her active and ever sensitive mind bad become unbalanced? and that injudicious, indiscreet, and unchristian treatment, and unpardonable neglect, springing from prejudice (as we believe), closed up every avenue of hope for the future in life, and sent this poor, heart-broken, despairing girl into eternity ? The last words she ever wrote in the college, as it appears, were these: “Heart breaking. Dearly beloved, adieu I ” These were evidently written directly after the interview with Dr. T., when she was advised “ to leave that day.” As I have said something about L.’s fear of the operation or consequences of prejudice, I will now give some of the reasons why she and we knew that prejudice existed against her. It was known to us that a prejudice was growing up between her and Dr. T., in the summer of 1864. As I shall occasionally quote from various letters, and from other writings which she has left, I will here state that when I quote from any letter, or writing, I use the exact language, having the originals before me. She complained to her mother — and her writings show the same complaints — of petty annoyances, of insinuations to her, by Dr. T., that she was not just what he wanted her to be ; and of his explaining some petty rule of school, and ridiculing some little acts of students after prayers, etc., in a sarcastic way. I received a letter from her dated “Kent’s Hill, August 28, 18G4.” in �22 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. which she says : “ I have kept almost all of the little unpleasant things which have troubled me, from you, thinking not best to trouble you with them; but the denial of my reasonable request to go home with May Chapman, who lives less than two miles from the Hill.” — May C. had been L.’s room-mate for some time ; but on account of some difficulty, her father had decided to take her from this school, and send her to the institution at Westbrook. The difficulty appeared to be like this: Miss Case had asked May to rise for prayers, and she declined. This, with some other intima­ tions from Miss Case, or some of the faculty, which annoyed May, coming to her father’s ears, he questioned her relative to the matter. She informed him of the case, and told him she thought Miss C. appeared different towards her after this transaction. Mr. C., after having some sharp talk with Dr. T., took M. home. Louise had written to May that she would come down on Friday, after recitation, and stop with her till Monday morning, as this would be the last opportunity she would have to see her before she went to Westbrook. Accordingly, M. came up to carry her hom’e with her on Friday, as had been suggested. They both went to Dr. T. together, to get permission for L. to go, she carrying my general, written permit in her hand. They saw Dr. T. on the street. L. made known her request, and he refused to grant it. They both returned, sorrowfully, to the college, where they saw Miss Robinson, L.’s teacher in painting, and sister to the wife of Dr. T. She asked them if they explained all to Dr. T., and advised L. to go to his house, and ask him again, saying, “I think he will let you go.” They both went back to Dr. T., and L. stated the reasons why she desired so much to go just at that time. He had before let her go, and no good rea­ son, seemingly, existed, why he then should refuse her. She named her general good conduct, which he admitted. I will now further quote from her letter of August 28, 1864 : “ He gave me no answer,” she says ; “ but turned to May, who had not spoken a word, — she was not then a member- of his school, — and asked her questions, implying that she had told her father that Miss Case asked her to rise for prayers, and because she did not do so, she appeared different to her after. May says, ‘ she did tefl her father so, and such was her impression.’ T. says, ‘ it was not so, and that she had no right to judge Miss Case. Ton must not report such things to hurt the school.’ May replies that ‘her father had questioned her about these things, and she told him; had not mentioned it to any one else. She did not intend to hurt the school.’ ‘Well,’ T. said, ‘you had better see Miss Case about it.’ May says, ‘I I I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 23 see no necessity,’ or something to that effect. Returning to the object for which I came, I said, ‘ Mr. Torsey, if your decision is final, I submit; but must say I think it is unjust.’ He said, ‘ You have no right to judge my actions.’ I knew that, although I had spoken the truth, yet I had better not have said it. Almost crying as I was with the bitter disappointment, I said, ‘ I beg your pardon, sir, for saying it to you. I spoke before I thought.’ He said, ‘ Hereafter you need not ask any favors. You nave prevented the possibility of your ever receiving any.’ I said, ‘ It is few favors that I have asked ; still less I have received.’ I was standing in the door. He replied, in a voice full of WTath, ‘ Miss Greene, you will iilease leave the house! ’ ‘ Yes, sir,’ was all I said to him; and turning to Mrs. Torsey, said, ‘ Good-night.’ I held my temper well, for I was boiling over with rage at that moment. Denied, insulted, and ordered out of his house1 I was advised to go home with M., and take the consequence ; but I did not. One thing is sure, I did not deserve, nor will I bear, such treatment. “ Please preserve this letter. This isn’t the first of his tyrannizing, nor the first insulting words I have borne. I will not bear it any longer. I will leave, although I do not want to give up my course of study. Neither will I be any man’s dog for the crumbs that fall from his table. I do not feel greatly indebted to Dr. Torsey. All he has done is to drain father’s pockets, and give me what justice demands he should give the meanest stu­ dent. If I stay here I know the man so well! He has bidden me to expect no favors, and I know that a teacher, watching for a chance, can make school life mighty uncomfortable to anybody without doing any open act of injustice or petty revenge. No matter how careful one is to obey the rules or perform all duties, if he detects the least sign of mental insubordination, his wrath is kindled, and finds vent in acts of petty revenge. “ Dr. T. last winter found a way to give Alice White permission to go to ride to Augusta with Mr. B., to see a mutual lady friend aud school-mate. Now that was a direct violation of one of the fundamental rules of school, for a gentleman to take a lady, miles away, out to ride! I don’t believe another couple in school could have got permission. But Dr. T. found a way by which he could consistently (?) let them go, where he had always re­ fused others ; and yet I could not go down with my room-mate, when he did not pretend but what my parents wore willing, and no damage could bo done to my studies or anything else.” She wrote other circumstances in detail connected with her case, and finally said : ‘‘ I shall leave and go to Westbrook next Tuesday if I don’t hear from yen by Monday night.” This statement of Louise, made to me, I believe to be true to the letter. She said she would read this letter to T. in my presence, and he would not �24 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. deny it. To my knowledge, he never sought to impeach her truthfulness in this affair. I now ask the candid reader to pause and reflect. What had my daughter done, in this case, to deserve to be cut off from the possibility of ever receiving any favors at that institution, where she had demeaned herself as a dutiful scholar for three years, and had nearly two years longer to stay? And what had she done that she should be expelled wrathfully from the bouse of its principal? Stung at an unjust disappointment, with­ out reflection, on the spur of the moment, she gave words to a thought, and that thought was the truth. She immediately, and in respectful language, begged pardon for giving expression to that truth: “I beg your pardon, sir, for saying it to you ; I spoke before I thought.” Was not this apolo­ gy sufficient and the petition for absolution respectful enough to insure for giveness from any Christian heart? Yet she was warned that she need ex­ pect no more favors at that institution, if her words, which have never been contradicted, were true. With what fidelity of purpose this position, this threat, was adhered to, let the history of May, 1866, testify and proclaim. M. Chapman was her old room-mate. They had spent many pleasant hours together, and loved each other. M. was about to leave for a distant school. As it was not infringing upon her studies, L. requested the privi­ lege of spending the next Saturday and Sunday with her old chum, at her quiet home some two miles distant, to which place M. had expressly come with a carriage to carry her. No valid reason existed, or was given, why her request could not be granted. Was it just to deny her? and was this not one favor, at least, less, which she asked, than she had received ? Af­ ter she had been guilty of so small an offence towards Dr. T., and had promptly begged pardon, was the- spirit of the Gospel here exercised, and the transgressor forgiven until “ seventy times seven,” or even until “ sev­ en times ” ? By no means. Pardon was not granted, even for one time, though it was sought with humility. Let the reader remember that hasty decision, and the penalty awarded, and recollect that the same tribunal, if not the same principles, disposition, and antipathy, survived on Kent’s Hill on the fatal twenty-third day of May, 1866. “ Does the leopard change his spots, or the Ethiopian his skin? ” To L.’s letter I replied on the same day, as follows: — I I 11 August 28, 1864. “ Dear Martha L., — I am sorry to have you leave this school until you finish your course of studies. I never like the idea of change ; but I was not made to be domineered over by any one, and am not willing my chil- �TILE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 25 dreu should be. But you had much better remain on the Hill, as you have just arrived there, than to leave so soon. You will not find everything pleasant at any school. You had better stay, if this difficulty can be ad­ justed ; if not, you will please write me again, and I will advise you fur' ther. Mother will copy what I have written to Dr. Torsey, and send it to you. J. Greene.” On the same day that I wrote to L., I wrote also to Dr. T., as follows : — “ Professor Torset : Dear Sir, —My daughter has written me, as she says, a correct statement of the interview with you; such, as she says, she will read to you in my presence, and appeal to you for its correctness. Whether she had done right or not, when she asked pardon, I think she did not deserve such a rebuff at your house. You tell her to leave your house, and that ‘ she is precluded from the possibility of receiving any more favors at this school.’ How do you think she feels, with these words continually sounding in her mind, ‘ You cannot receive any more favors at this school,’ with nearly two years before she gets through her studies under you, and with the feelings she must now have towards you? Her school-days arc made so unpleasant by your ungentlemanly treatment at your house, that, unless some reconciliation can be had, she will leave your school, and that immediately. As much as she and I regret her loss or disappointment, at not graduating at your college, I will not advise her to remain. “ No man, in this free and enlightened land, can unjustly domineer over my children with impunity. I believe she intended to be governed by the rules of your school. No complaint from the faculty has come to my knowledge but what she stood as well as the average of students, in all re­ spects, as to studies and promptness in duties assigned her. “ I exceedingly regret the necessity of this communication. I have writ­ ten her, that if no reconciliation or adjustment be had, she might leave your institution. Yours respectfully, “Jonas Greene.” When I wrote this letter I was not aware — nor am I now — that his dig­ nity or position forbade or precluded me from speaking, plainly and in ear­ nest, to Dr. T., as I would to any other man ; or that there was anything improper in so doing. Nor will I now say that hidden motives of ven­ geance, after slumbering for months, sprang to life and exercise, to accel­ erate, for this freedom, a joint penalty, at the first favorable opportunity, on her and me. Dr. T. replied to my letter August 29, 18G4, in his smooth 4 �26 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. manner, excusing himself, but not denying anything that L. had written me. He said “ he had given her permission to go to the Corner once, on a visit, and once she went without permission.” Among other things, he said that hoi’ unladylike manner of saying that “ he had done her injustice,” or words to that effect, and “the manner and tone of her asking pardon, was not satisfactory to him.” He also said, “ I suppose she cannot leave the school, and her name stand fair on our record; ” closing his letter with an insinuation against L., but not specifying anything. The reader will no­ tice his attempt or threat, thus early, to disgrace her on their records, if she left the school, probably by putting some mark against her name ; such as “ Left under censure,” or something of the kind. This threat in his letter to me accounts, or explains the cause, for her language in her next letter to me, wherein she says: “I'shall not leave in disgrace. No doubt he would like to, but how can he have me expelled? Where is the act which he can fasten an expulsion upon? But if 1 stay here, that is what I fear.” The misdemeanor of going to the Corner “ without permission,” of which Dr. T. complained, as L. afterwards explained to her mother, was perpe­ trated in the manner following: Louise and another student were going down to the Corner (Readfield Corner) on a brief visit. Being in a hurry, L. said to her school-mate: “ When you get permission to go, get the same for me.” (They could get such permit from Dr. T., oi’ any one of the teachers ; but after being refused by any one of them, they .were not allowed to go to any other one for the same thing.) The other girl forgot, in her haste, to ask permission for either. So both went without a permit. On them return Dr. T. called them to account, they being together at the time of the interview. The other young lady says: “ I forgot to ask permis­ sion.” L., seeing then how the case stood, says : “ If that be so, I am in the same condition. I thought you got permission for us both.” Dr. T. says to the other lady: “ I will overlook it in you; but, Miss Greene, I shall remember it in you.” Louise wrote me again Sept. 5, 1864; from which letter I make the fol­ lowing extracts: — I “ I carried your letter to Torsey. He was non-committal, saying but little either way. But one thing he must do, — take back or modify7 this saying: ‘ Hereafter you need expect no more favors of mo or the school.’ I think he would have granted the request, if May Chapman and her family had been ‘ all right on the goose’ (they were Universalists, as I then understood them), and if I had been one of the Torsey worshippers. I told Miss Robinson, that Dr. Torsey wanted to be to Kent’s Hill, what �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN 27 God is to the universe. No matter how well one tries to do, if he sees the least mental insubordination, he is down on them. I see clearly enough how I could be one of his favorites. Consider his wishes law, his decisions perfect, — let him act for you, think for you, and own you soul and body, and lo! your path up the hill of science is smooth as a gravelled walk. There was a time when I would have striven for Dr. T.’s friendship ; but now, I would not take it as a free gift, — all I ask, is justice at his hand. All I grant him, is those rights, which every teacher is authorized to de­ mand. “ If I go home now, I am sure I shall not leave in disgrace. No doubt he would like to, but how can he have me expelled? What rule have I broken ? What evil influence have I exerted ? Where is the act which he can fasten an expulsion upon ? But if I stay here, that is what I fear. With a desire for revenge, and dislike for me as motive, won’t he find something in the course of two years that will pass for a reason why I shall be sent home, or at least reprimanded publicly ? I leave this question for you to think of. It has been an important one with me.” Reader, say you that she had no foundation for those fears, save delusion or vague imagination? and that she did not “ discern the signs of the times,” and comprehend the disposition, power, and means of those, who measurably held her destiny in their hands ? If so, and she had discovered nothing to arouse apprehension and fear-, was it not singular, that an occurrence so sad, corresponding so nearly with her expressed fears, should have trans­ pired within the time she specified? I have been censured, and I now deeply regret that I did not give more attention to her request to leave the school. May God and her angel forgive me for the unintentional mistake 1 Mine was an act of supposed kindness and affection, not of caprice, preju­ dice, or revenge. Had I then known, as I now know, the many petty annoyances she so quietly endured of the “ pimps and spies ” that were around her, to report every little act, every “dislike” of which she was suspected (“mental subordination” I believe they call it), I certainly should have taken her away. It will be noticed that she says in her letter to me, “ one thing he must do, take back, or modify this saying: “ Hereafter you need expect no favors,” etc. As the matter was dropped, or as I heard no more about it, I supposed he did modify, or take it back. I supposed they fixed it up in some way, but how I never knew. I will now invite attention to some of these annoyances and petty complaints which my daughter endured, and to which I have alluded. The reader will please hear her, and allow her, though dead, to tell her own �k 28 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. story. If she had acted the hypocrite, so far as to have impressed upon the mind of Dr. T. the idea that she “was with them,* I have no doubt it would have saved her the annoyance of the following described lecture, or of being made the subject of so long a string of complaints. On leaves of memoranda in the last part of her 18G5 diary, under date of April 11th, I find the following: — “ Dr. Torsey, in Miss Robinson’s room, said, ‘he came to me, not on account of particular violation of rules, but because it was the general impression among the faculty, that I was not with them, heart and soul. Marks had come to him, chiefly for being out of room, and light burning. It was not so much that; but, so general an impression among so many teachers that I was not with them, must have some foundation.’ Said ‘Mr. Daggett told him my influence in the school was not good.’ Must see Mr. Daggett. I guess he meant that hateful whispering morning. Said, ‘ Some one told Mr. Daggett that I laughed while he was talking.’ (I think the question should be, not ‘ Did I laugh? ’ but, ‘ Did I try to keep from laughing ? ’ if he considers motives so all powerful.) Mentioned class, and said, ‘ A gentleman told him he was provoked, after the remark I made at prayers, — “ darned fool ” — to see me in class.’ He said, ‘ some said, I went to gain the regard of a certain young gentleman.’ I told him, ‘ I thought religious matters concerned me alone.’ I told him, ‘ he would find, by inquiry, that I had made it a rule to attend one class-meeting, at least, every term,’ and I have done so. He said, ‘ the teachers thought I was one who would lead others into mischief, and keep out of it myself. There would be a great hubbub in the chapel, among the girls, and I' would be found looking in at the door.’ I told him, ‘ when I was suspected, they need only ask, and they could know how far I was concerned. I never lied myself out of a scrape yet.’ He asked me if I was willing to apologize for saying ‘ darned fool ? ’ Told him, ‘ Yes.’ He asked ‘ if I would apologize to those to whom I said it?’ I said, ‘Yes, if ho would tell me who thejr were.’ And there I had him; for that would come pretty near telling where he got his information. “Dr. T. said, ‘Student had voluntarily told him these little things. He had asked Mrs. Brownell about me, and she said, she had seen me standing, — did not know how long, but less than fifteen minutes, — talk­ ing with a gentleman on the side-walk; ’ which looked as though I was coming as near to breaking a rule as I could, and not do it. He asked Mr. Daggett, and he said, ‘ I was giving him trouble, more by influencing others, than by actual misdeed.’ He said, ‘lie thought it his duty to tell �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 29 me. if I did anything that looked like a wilful violation of rule, I could expect little forbearance from the faculty.’ I told him, ‘ I had felt that ever since last fall; ’ — (the turning her out of his house, etc., — I suppose she meant), — ‘ and had been careful accordingly.’ In conclusion, he said, ‘ Well, Louise, what can we do about this?’ ‘ What do you wish me to do?’ I said. ‘ I want you to begin anew, and from the very bottom of your heart, say, I will faithfully’ endeavor to obey the rules of the insti­ tution.’ ‘ I did that last fall, and I will continue to do it,’ I said ; ‘ but I do not feel very much encouraged at your opinion of my* efforts,’ I added. He mentioned Professor Perley again, —about what he said I said at West Peru. I said, ‘ If there is anything I can do or say, if you will write your­ self, or want me to write to anybody’ concerning that, you have only to say it, and it shall be done.’ Then he said, ‘ It is not so much these little things ; but the source from which they come must be pure, — the original intention right.’ I said, ‘ I don’t know what you mean by’ that.’ I must ask Professor Eobinson if he feels fully’ satisfied about what I said about going down to the Corner ; as Dr. T. said to-day he did not. I have written fully, and as much as I could verbatim, as I may have occasion to remember what was said.” ■ Perhaps I should here explain, that Mrs. Brownell, here named, was the wife of Mr. Brownell, who was at that time one of the faculty. They were not there at the time L. left; and it would seem as if she was watching to see if any of the young ladies ■violated this fifteen minutes’ rule of talking with gentlemen on the street. Mrs. B. did not say how long, but less than fifteen minutes, she saw her talking. Having seen in this record of Louise what Torsey’ said, that Daggett complained to T. about Louise giving him trouble, I, Nov. 8, 1866,.asked Mr. D. if Louise had been giving him trouble by’ violation of rules, and that he had reported her to T.? He said, “he did not recollect that he had.” Said, “ he had nothing to do with the rules of government of students ; only oversaw the boarding department. He did not know that she gave him any particular trouble, anything more than being a little noisy’ at the table.” Said, “ I spoke to her once or twice at the table.” I said, “ What was she doing? ” “ Talking and laughing,” he said. I said, “ Anything more than having a lively’ talk and laugh? ” He said, “ that was all.” I have in every possible way tried to ascertain if there was any good reason for his complaints against her “little things,” as he said students had told him, and others had reported or complained to him about; and I find that they are small things, mostly’ without foundation, which looks more like bis seeking �i 30 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. ■ (asking Mrs. Brownell, etc.) for some pretence to annoy and find fault with her, because of his prejudice, and their conclusions that she was not “ heart and soul with them.” Several times, to her mother, L. mentioned Dr. T. with a dislike, a fear, and a terrible foreboding of evil. What was the occasion, reason, object, or necessity of this visit or inter­ view, and lecture, at the room of Miss Robinson? Of this telling what Mr. L. had said,—what Prof. Perley had told that L. had said at W. Peru? What Prof. Robinson was not satisfied with, and what some one had said about her going to class-meeting to gain the regard of a certain gentleman? No pretension was made that she had violated any rule. Why, then, this threat, that “ if she did anything that looked like a wilful violation of rules, she could expect little forbearance from the faculty”? The gist of all the complaints appears to be that there was a “ general impression among the faculty” that she “was not with them heart and soul.” In the pursuit of knowledge, in every department of her studies, L. lacked no ambition or diligence to excel. Iler assiduity insured her a laudable proficiency and progress. Her moral character, as Dr. T. himself has said, was “ irreproachable.” She was ever ready to assist and encour­ age, by words and examples, those who were seeking knowledge and trying to do right, as I shall show by the best of testimony hereafter. She was not, at the time of this lecture, amenable for the “ violation of rules,” by Dr. T.’s own statement. In what respect, then, was she not with the fac­ ulty? And what was that “ influence,” rather than “ misdeeds,” of which they complained? Was she not, with fidelity and zeal, attending to those grand purposes for which such literary institutions ought to be established, irrespective of the creeds or tenets of others ? Louise, no doubt, compre­ hended the variance, and why she was not considered “ with them, heart and soul,” when she told Dr. T. she “ thought religious matters concerned her alone; ” meaning, without doubt, that in her own religious acts and duties she claimed freedom, and the exercise of her own opinion. No doubt she understood the drift of such lectures, when she spoke of letting others “ think for you, and own youi’ soul and body.” I charged him, in the faculty meeting, with trying to make a hypocrite of her. He showed temper, and said, “ Do you say we tried to influence her in religious matters?” I told him, in substance, that I could not say, by direct lan guage, he did so, but the old proverb said, “Actions speak louder than words.” I named to him about calling her to account three times for exercising the right of opinion, in the matter of what Prof. Perley said was told him / J �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 31 that L. said at West Peru, when she was home at vacation, — which was merely this: that “ self-boarders were not thought so well of, at the Hill, as ' those who boarded at the college building.” We told him that if she said so she said what was true ; and I asked him what he desired her to do, but hypocritically or falsely to say what she did not believe. He said, “ there was a discrepancy between what Perley said was told him and what L. tola him she said.” In the whole.I considered it a mean, contemptible affair, thus to lend an open and ready ear to tale-bearers, and continue to harass and annoy a student with such lectures. I have evidence to show much about that matter, if I deemed it necessary. Three times, in the course of two years or more (when, as it appears, he had exhausted all other sources of complaints), he would call this up, a mere hearsay from third parties. The offence of saying “ Darned fool,” in a whisper, for which she was asked to apologize, and which she expressed her willingness to do, L. explained to her mother, and in her memoranda, as follows: “ That aftc prayers Dr. T., as he was accustomed to do, began to lecture the students for some offence committed bj’’ some of the boys, telling what had hap­ pened, or what had been told him, and indulging in ridicule in an undigni­ fied maimer, as it seemed to her, and in such a style of clownish buffoonery that she felt disgusted. That, while his favorites would laugh, as that seemed to please him. many of the best of his students looked upon his efforts in that direction with contempt. That, not controlling her own feelings at that moment, she said in a whisper, not addressing any one, ‘ Darned fool.’ Some one interested to keep Dr. T. ‘ well posted ’ over­ heard her, and went and informed him.” It is evident that Louise was not alone in her feelings of dissatisfaction at the overbearing principles mani­ fested in the government of that institution, and the tyranny, as she thought, it exercised towards certain students. I have before me some letters from intelligent students, associates of L., written to her while they were at home during vacation, from which I will make a few extracts. In one I find the following sentiments: “ It is not enough that students obey every rule of the school, — that their recitations are excellent, etc.; but they must bo completely subjected to his will. They must not question his actions ; not even.express their opinion of his silly speeches. O Louise I it makes my teeth grit to think I’ve got to be under his thumb three terms longer. I won’t bow down to the golden calf too much, not if twenty diplomas were at stake.” In another I find the followingr ‘'‘Among other things about the government of the school, I despise the teachings and the teachers, — at least, some of them,—yet love the girls, and always shall be glad to hear from them. But as to �32 tun vuown won mu mu won;/, Professor T. inul MI'iu ('ivio, I ulmll not nitiiinpf. to czpror-s my contempt for thorn. Lnnguiv’o would full.

I am glad you speak freely your opinions. This afternoon 1 attended a prayer-meeting, but, very different from yours at Kent’s Hill. A holy feeling seemed to pervade all. Such mild, sweet expressions’ These are meetings one cares to attend voluntarily. Ao one c’unitbn? my motives! Many of those who were friends of the institution mill not be so now.” In a letter to me, of a later date, this same student says: -The govern­ ment at Kent’s Hill is different from that of any school I ever attended or visited. I understand, from several persons who have been teachers for years, that the government is as was practised years ago. It resembles an absolute monarchy, the president being the sovereign. What respect I had for Dr. Torsey vanished at the cruel treatment of your daughter. Ever.' person to whom I have spoken of the unhappy occnrre-ee considl-rs treatment unjust and inhuman, in not keeping it among the teachers, tut spreading it immediately among the scholars. You h-re all car sym­ pathy in your terrible loss. Even strangers shed, tears f r you. A retfsssor in one of our schools told me he did not believe there was such mt re-count on record. Words fail to tell you how I feel for yen. But remember God has said, ‘-Vengeance is mine.’ ” Several other letters from students to L. are in the sums tone, and express the same opinions as above. From facts and ct-rw—srar. res that ht~e been shown, I leave the public to judge whether there had not existed, between L. and Dr. T.. a prejudice, some years refers, if not cherished up to the time she left. When I charged him with sueh prejudice at the faculty meeting, he did not deny it, but virtually admitted it by say­ ing that '••he and L. had ‘made up’ about a year before.’' Seme of the students cn the Hill knew that such prejudice existed, and ems cf them, -hr was there in May. ISre. said, not long since. “It was unforttmxte, in this anair. for Dr. Torsey that it was known ho was prejudtredk* As to the - making up ” of which he spoke, 1 cun find no intimation, ef it in her —-'-—ys. er anything she has ever told her fr'etuis. The history of the interview at Miss H.’s room, which I have egtoted entire, appears under date of April 11. ISwhich was a little mere than a y ear before the time p-. T. made the statement just alluded t.\ As vreblrg else, in her Letters er writings, appears, relative to any renversatien they be.d with eaeb ether t •.reh't r the ttt.'.tter of variance between there, this i tte..-le- smd lecture �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 33 must, I think, be the “malting up” referred to. I leave for the reader to say how far such insinuations, such opening of old wounds, such renewal of threats as were exhibited at this interview, could be understood to mean reconciliation of differences, dropping old prejudices, and “ making up.” It is evident from what she said and left in writing that she did not so understand it, but rather as a new attack, a fresh display of active hostility. I have given my readers a brief view of some of the occurrences that took place, — a few specimens of the treatment L. received, and the dispo­ sition manifested towards her prior to the distressing events of May, I860, in order that they may better understand the condition of things at that time, and the reason of my views and feelings. I will now pursue the sad rehearsal of what afterwards transpired. On the 23d day of May, at ten o’clock in the forenoon, Louise took the stage for East Readfield ; thence the cars to Lewiston. At twelve o’clock, the same night, my daughter, Chestina, and a young man, Mr. Chandler, arrived at my house, and told us the heart-rending story, — how and why L. left, as told them by Dr. T., Miss Case, and Mrs. Daggett. Miss Case and Mrs. Daggett, the “matron,” or steward’s wife, were the two persons who went into the first investigation ; Mr. Daggett being called in to assist at a later period in the affair. After examination, all was reported to Dr. T. But it is reasonable to presume, he directed the whole movement; or, at least, that he did know, or ought to have knowu, all about it. Now, as to the result of that investigation, what was the report which these pro­ fessed lovers of truth, mercy, and Christianity made such haste to publish to the students, to the whole school and community, against one they had known so long? against one they had never suspected before, and whose character hitherto had been irreproachable, and stood as high and fair as their own ? What was this report against one who had made a profession of religion, — a sister in Christ, or at least a sister in the common family of mankind? Why were what they discovered as faults or misdeeds exaggerated and spread, as it were, broadcast over the Hill, in less than twenty-four hours after the discovery, and she denied the least mercy or forbearance, or the most flimsy mantle of charity? Chestina said to me : “ They say Louise had her trunk and drawers full of marked and unmarked clothing, not her own.” Mr. Chandler, the student who came home with her, said, “ That is the report on the Hill; also, that she had taken five dollars, and had confessed it.” “ It was the general belief on the Hill,” he added, “ that she was deranged.” He also expressed his fears for her safety. Before I close, I ■will give the reader 3 �La r 34 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. some more means of judging whether or not this report was fully true; but, whether true or false, what was the necessity of this haste, and what was the disposition and feeling manifested in making it public property so soon? On receiving notice of these reports, and that L. had so suddenly left the Hill, in her every-day clothing, — not taking her trunk with her, or any clothes, except what she wore; and that she had removed from her person her class ring and all other valuable things, — we felt terribly alarmed as to her fate. Mrs. Greene and I both expressed our fears, and said that the chance was more than even, that she would be dead before I could reach Lewiston. I made all haste to proceed there; and soon Chestina and I were ready to start. She, poor girl, all in tears, solicited .the privi­ lege of accompanying me on this sad and afflicting occasion, and sharing with me the grief and anxiety of this undertaking. She had come by team from Kent’s Hill to her home, a distance of twenty-five miles, after six o’clock in the evening, and had slept none that night. We arrived at Lewiston, by team, a distance of thirty-five miles, before ten o’clock next morning. There I made diligent search and extraordinary exertions to .find or trace my lost daughter, being assisted very kindly by the city marshal of Lewis­ ton, who promptly sent his deputy with his team; who drove hurriedly from one public place to another, to endeavor, if possible, to get some trace of her. Being unsuccessful in Lewiston, we passed over to the Elm House in Auburn, where we found she had been the day before ; and where she had there engaged a private room for two hours, which she occupied alone for about four hours. She said nothing to any one, asked for nothing, and kept her face closely veiled when she a ne in, while coming down from her room, and when she went out. She stopped about ten minutes in the parlor; sitting down, and looking out of the window, keeping her face veiled. The lady of the house, who came into the parlor about the same time, noticed that she bad been weeping, that her eyes were red, and that she appeared to be in great trouble. Not a word was spoken by either, and L. soon went slowly out; and was last seen going towards the Lewis­ ton bridge, a little after four o’clock p. ir. [My informant thinks about twenty minutes past four.] No persons have ever fully satisfied me that they saw her afterwards. As there were two letters written by her, evidently commenced in the ears while coming from Readfield, — one to her Sister Chestina, the other to her class, — I have no doubt that they were ' finished in that private room at the Elm House. Finding she could not write intelligibly in the cars, no doubt she sought this private room in which to write out her last communication to earthly friends. Theso �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 35 letters were postmarked, “ Lewiston, May 2-lth,” as they would have been if put in on the 23d. They would bear the date they left the office. Be­ lieving she did go to that office on Lisbon Street, I thought, if she had not left in the cars, it was very likely she was drowned in the canal or river below that office. When the next trains left, both that day and the next, I stationed Chestina at one depot, while I went to Lewiston depot, and rode over to Auburn at every train, to see if L. took any train from thence. Not finding any further'satisfactory trace of her, after riding and walking in all directions, we started out to Sabattisville factory, making diligent inquiry all the way to Webster, Wales, Monmouth, and Winthrop, arriving at Kent’s Hill on Saturday afternoon, May 25th. We went thither to see if any information respecting L. had reached the Hill; and also for the purpose of getting C.’s trunk of clothing, as she had no change of raiment, all having been left there. We there found the two letters to which I have alluded. As much has been said about these letters, both in private and in public, and as many have manifested a desire to know the exact and whole contents of her class letter, I will now lay before the public an exact transcript of that letter, word for word, and letter for letter. LETTER TO HER CLASS. “ At a Way Station, in the cars. “For the Class.— Schoolmates, — Once my own darlings (for I have no right to claim yon now), I wonld rather die by slow torture than write you this letter. But I feel it a duty. Who wrongs himself, wrongs his friends. God forgive me I but I believe there is no soul on earth that stands nearer the gates of utter despair than mine does at this moment. I have always said, ‘ A. man who will steal will lie, will do anything bad.’ “ Perhaps you will feel-so ; but, oh 1 do hear my story. Do not believe that through all these past years spent with you I have been acting a lie. As I live, I never touched a cent of money that was not my own, except this once. They tried to make mo account for all the little things that have been missed through the term; but I could not. I have not had them. A skeleton key, given me years ago, I had, that looked as though I might have used it wrongfully. God knows my heart! I never did. One other thing I did, — I have been in the habit of doing. When I came to the college I brought many unmarked clothes, some of them new ones. When I missed things from the wash, I took others (unmarked ones) from the table, and used them. They put this with that, and altogether it did look bad. But if my own garments had not come by the close of the term. �36 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. I should have left these where I got them, — in the wash. Now you know all. My distress is bitter enough; but the shame that I bring upon you, — upon home friends, — I cannot express it. 0 my darlings! my dar­ lings 1 I thought the parting would be hard enough two weeks from now; but this — I cannot even call you mine now I The greatest favor I can ask is, drop me from your remembrance, and some time — you cannot do it now, I know; but do, won’t you, some time forgive me? Forgive me ; for­ get me; pray do I I ask it in the name of all who have sinned and suffered, —in the name of my own bitter anguish, — in the name of all that I have been, or hoped to be, to you and with you. I do not know what tempted me. I went out to Miss Church’s room one evening, without any such thought in my heart. She was gone. Her table-drawer was open; her porte-monnaie, open too. Some satan, hidden in my heart, said, Take it; and before I could think, I stood again in 27. When it was done, I would fain have replaced it; but could not without discovery. The only thing I have to be glad of is, that I did not deny when asked. Everything that was asked me I told the truth'about, as near as I could in my distracted state of mind. This storm has only been gathering since yesterday. I tried to read my Bible last night, but could not. I don’t believe I shall ever pray again, except to say, Father, forgive me. And He will not hear. How, then, can I expect your pardon! If I could have had an opportunity to retrieve the past at the Hill, — if this thing had not been made public prop erty and common talk, — maybe there might have been a future for me , but now — I think maybe I am not exactly as I used to be while I write this ; for my head whirls, and I cannot seem to think, — to say what I am trying to say. Did you love me any? Do you love me any now? It seems as though my heart must have some assurance of this, or it will burst; and yet I know it cannot be. I could not go to see you this morn­ ing ; I did not dare ; and yet I could have died for one friendly hand-grasp, and thought it happiness to die. Will some of you call Mary Chapman into your room, and read her this? that is, if you think best. What I write here I put into your hands. I am not capable of saying what should be done with it. Decide for me. Act as you would have others do, if it were possible for you to be in this place. I can hear even now the thousand buzzing rumors flying over the Hill. O my God I what am I that I should have been left to do this thing? Dear girls, it may seem presumptuous in me now to ask a favor; but if you only could find it in your hearts to be kind to my sister, —my poor, poor sister, Ches.;—oh 1 if I could only pre­ vent her from being punished for my sins, I would bear my own bitterness alone. i �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 37 “ I do not know what will become of me. If I get home, do not do anything with this letter; if not, will you please send it to my mother before term closes. O mother I my mother! If it were your mother, girls, what should you say? what would you do? “ Mr. Scbwagerl said to me this morning, one sentence, ‘ Remember your Saviour.’ I have been saying it over all the way here. I thank him for saying that always. Mary Chapman, you tell him so; but I don’t know. The Saviour is an iron door, I think, to me,—shut, bolted. I' never realized before that my life was drifting into this downward current. I cannot think it was. I came to the top of a great precipice, did I not? and because I had been trying to walk alone on Kent’s Hill, I fell. Well if it had destroyed life with character; but it did not. “ I keep writing and writing because I can’t say the last word ; hut I must. “ I have read this over, or tried to, and it is not what I would say. I cannot write more; I cannot write again. I cannot even ask you to write to me. What could you say? I don’t want you to. “ My darlings I my darlings! this good-by is a thousand times more bitter than was the laying away of my dead. “Addies, Lydias, Sarahs, Mary, and Abby, — how good your names look to me I You have all been good to me. “ Good-by. “Louise.” My reader will pause, and reflect. If my daughter had been so wicked a girl as some would have you believe, — had been a thief, one who had by deception worked herself out of such scrapes, — would she have so frankly told the truth, when a denial might have saved her? Would she have said in that class letter, — would she, when she saw her disgrace and fall in the wretched light she did, have said: “ The only thing I have to be glad of is, that I did not deny when asked ” — and further said, “ I had been trying to walk alone on Kent’s Hill; I fell. Well if it had destroyed life with character; but it did not ” ? — preferring death to the disgrace of this small act of taking five dollars. She writes to her sister that this is the only thing that she feels herself guilty of. She further says : “If I could have had an opportunity to retrieve the past at the Hill. If this thing had not been made public property, and common talk, maybe there might have been a future for me ; but now,” — you see her feeling when she says “ but now,” — “ when T. tells me that the school know of it, when it is so public, and I have no chance to retrieve the past at the Hill, death is �■ 38 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. craved.” Do you believe she thought they had done right to thus early publish her confession to the school, and make it “public property, and common talk,” and then advise her to leave in disgrace, and thus prevent the possible chance of her doing one act, or having one day to try to retries e the past at the Hill ? Poor child! She knew of his prejudice, and their dispo­ sition to make the matter look bad, on the Hill, and also to disgrace her, else they would have kept her confession private; she knew they could have done so. I do not believe that I shall ever be able while I live to read this letter without shedding tears. And, when I think how that committee of stu­ dents did so unjustly and unfeelingly quote damaging sentences from this letter, to injure the character of the dead, and wound the feelings of the living, without giving any explanations therein contained, with evident intent to flatter those who were able to defend themselves, without a word in her favor, or a single syllable of regret for the death of an old student, — is more than I can tell, or they will ever be able to satisfactorily explain to me, if selfish motives were not the cause. And if any one will compare the evidence here produced, leaving out all arguments, they will see how little of what they say is a trid/fful account of this sad affair is left. One thing further I believe I ought to say, to show her love for, and determination to speak the truth, let the consequences be what they may. The reader will recollect, that, in her recorded account of T.’s lecture to her, April 11, 1865, in answer to his charge, “that there would be a great hubbub in the chapel, and she would be found looking in at the door,” she says, “ When I am suspected, you only have to ask, to know how far I am concerned. I never have lied myself out of a scrape, yet.” And here you see the truth of that statement verified, when asked about the money, although her character, her all, was at stake. She, knowing his threat, “ if she did anything that looked like a violation of any rule, she could expect but little forbearance from the faculty,” with her great fear that something would happen, for which Dr. T. would refuse to let her graduate ; he, as she believed him to be, her enemy, and a revengeful one, “ or he would not be watching me continually, and finding fault for such little things” (as she told her parent, when speaking of her fear that she should never graduate) ; yet, with all this, and her great desire to succeed at the exhibition, the crowning point of her ambition, it does not deter her in this awfbl trial from telling the truth, and not attempting to lie herself out of this trouble, although disgrace and death was the result. As she says in her class letter, “ Everything that was asked me I told the truth about, as near as I could in my distracted state of mind.” I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 39 * HER LETTER TO CHESTINA. “ In the cars, Wednesday, A. JI. “ My much loved but deeply wronged Sister, — In leaving you, as I have, I am sensible that there is in store for you mortification and a share of my disgrace. “ Dr. Torsey informed me this morning that I had better leave to-day; ‘ not expulsion,’ he said, ‘ we won’t call it that, but I advise you to go home.’ Practically, it amounts to the same thing, however. How I feel, God only knows ; you never can ; and my bitterest agony is for the dear ones at home, on whom must fall some share in this disgrace. Satan, or some evil spirit, must have led me into this. I f I know myself, it was not the true, real Louise Greene, that did this. She was trying to live an honest, womanly life; or, if she was, indeed, drifting into disgrace, she never realized it. I can feel myself guilty of but one crime, — the taking of five dollars from Miss Church. No other was alleged against me, but the having of those unmarked articles of clothing; and, as I live, I had no intention1 of stealing them. For every article I took, I had lost one in the wash, and put these on in their stead, expecting, before the term was done, to find my own. There was, in some sort, a necessity for this ; for instance: — I came to the college with three orfour good, whole drawers, — two pairs of which were new ones, —aud to-day, as I ride away, I have none. They were lost in the wash because unmarked. Was it so strange that I should put on others, also unmarked, in their stead ? I tell you this, that you may know what I have done, and why I did it. That five dollars is a mystery to me. I went on an errand into Miss Church’s room; in her stand drawer laid a partly open porte-mounaie. What possessed me to take the money I do not know; but I took it out. The moment they asked me about it I con­ fessed it. You know the skeleton key I have long had. That told against me ; but, after all, I do not think they believed I opened rooms with it, for the purpose of taking out things. I certainly never did. Now you know the whole story. It is probably travelling the Hill at this moment with a thou­ sand exaggerations. God pity me 1 I never thought to come to this. Do not tell any one anything in this. It willbe useless to try to stem the tide ; bend beneath it, or it will break you down. Say nothing of excuse or palliation. In my heart I feel that you will not say aught of condemnation. It is a great deal to ask ; perhaps you cannot do it now ; but some time will you not try to forgive me? Live down all this. It is no real disgrace to you, though it may seem so. Make friends with the teachers, and with the �1 'A 40 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. people of God; they will strengthen you. Jlere I think was my fault; I tried to stand on the Hill alone, and I fell. “ Louise.” The reader will notice that near the close of this letter Louise gives her sister this advice: “It will be useless to try to stem the tide ” (to try to stem all this prejudice of Dr. Torsey’s, — the faculty’s whole influence, which is all-powerful on Kent’s Hill, — she doubtless meant). “ Bend be­ neath or it will break you down. Say nothing of excuse or palliation; ” do not attempt to excuse or defend me; for if you do that, by inference if not by your arguments, you will blame the faculty, and their influence will be brought to bear on you, and “ it will break you down.” It will operate against you in a thousand ways, to injure, and finally (if you persist to defend me), it will destroy you. This is seen, and may properly be in­ ferred, from this short and hasty advice to her sister: “ Say nothing of excuse or palliation.” She had tried to walk alone, tried to maintain her right to think and act for herself; but she had found that by so doing she had incurred their displeasure; that her determination so to do, regardless of all his manoeuvring and threats, increased his prejudice, and in many ways injured her. She believed Torsey had become an enemy to her. Being so, he had injured her feelings, and troubled her in many ways (not easily explained), although she was right, and ought to have had her right of opinion to act unmolested. Yet she saw that policy dictated a different course; and her trying to “ stand alone” on her rights was bad for her, and was the cause which brought down their displeasure “ and little for­ bearance ” with her. Then she advises Chestina to avoid that, and make friends with the teachers, — her (Louise’s) enemies, their teachers, — and thus try to make “ your path up the hill of science smooth as a gravelled walk.” “ Make friends with the teachers, and with the people of God; they will strengthen you.”. She does not say she believed her teachers — her accusers and judges — to be such people. She did not mean to say that of Dr. T., I do not believe. “ Here I think was my fault. I'tried to stand on the Hill alone, and I fell.” These letters were heart-rending to me and my distressed family ; and it did ceem to me that they were enough to draw tears from the eyes of any whose heart was not callous to feelings of sympathy and sensibility, and ought to disarm forever that unforgiving spirit that never seems to realize that “ to err is human.” They are a frank and full confession; and by their tone, and succeeding occurrences, it is evident they were intended as her last communication �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 41 with friends. Iler friends l^lieve every word of them was true. The public will judge for themselves whether they were true or false, after read­ ing them carefully, together with such attendant facts, and circumstances as will hereafter be produced; and will also judge whether she did or not take too much blame on herself, and feel too keenly this, her first offence, the cause of which she could not comprehend. As some have referred to these letters to exonerate certain persons in high position from censure, by quoting her confession of guilt, without expressing a word of doubt of her truthfulness ou these points, I submit to the reader whether the whole contents of these letters are not equally entitled to credit, as much so as such parts as the designing’may select and endorse ; and whether those who so quote her confession ought not, in fairness, to give her the benefit of her explanation, and be estopped from denying the truth of such statements as are. in her favor. While at the Hill, picking up Chestina’s things, on the 25th of May, Miss Case sought me, and in her cold, icy manner commenced to console me in my sad and severe affliction. Knowing that Louise disliked her, for what I believed were good reasons, and believing she was prejudiced against L., I thought she might have assisted, under such feelings, in injuring my child, and in producing that wretched state of mind in which she was, and which finally destroyed her. I asked her if Dr. Torsey talked hard to L. She said she did not know what Dr. T. said to her. I then squarely asked her this question : “ Did you talk harshly to her?’’ She said, “I tried to impress upon her the enormity of the crime.” She continued, and said that “ she was surprised that L. did not feel worse, and break down, as she expected her to do; ” said “ L. shed no tears, until they opened a little fancy trunk ; that she then wept.” This is the substance of what was said in that conversation ; and “ I tried to impress upon her the enormity of the crime,” was the exact language used by that cold and unfeeling teacher. Never can I forget, while life lasts, the harsh and cruel course she said she took with my poor bewildered and distracted girl. That sentence, “ I tried to impress,” etc., grates upon my ear in memory, when I think of her we loved so well; and I know I am not mistaken in the words and exact language used on that occasion. She, in my opinion, has a large share of accountability, before God aud man, for the death of our child. A more cool, unfeeling person I never saw. This little fancy trunk alluded -to would hold only about a quart, and was made and given her by her dearly loved cousin, who died at my house a few years before, — one of the dead alluded to in her letter, where she speaks of “the laying away of my dead.” In this little trunk she kept �42 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. some small mementos of him, and no one wjis accustomed to open it but herself. This little “ keepsake,” it seems, could not be exempt from the penetrating search, which was made, while they were trying, as she says, “ to make her account for all the little things that had been missed through the term.” After dark, Saturday evening, May 25th, Chestina and I started for home, and did not arrive there till daylight on Sunday morning. I found my wife and children in a wretched, distressed condition ; for we had neither written, nor brought home any tidings of the dear lost one. Our hearts were nearly broken, being weighed down under the burden of our grief and disappoint­ ment. Although not sleeping any that night, in five hours my almost distracted wife and myself were on our way to Lewiston again. My wife had neither eaten nor drank anything while I had been absent. She looked the picture of anguish and despair. “You do not look as though you were able to go,” I said. “ I cannot stay at home,” she replied. “ I cannot stand this awful suspense. I must go.” We did go, in a severe and drenching storm of rain. We rode about in Auburn, Lewiston, and Webster ; then walked about the river, canals, and streets of Lewiston, inquiring as we went for some trace of our lost child. God only knows our sad and sorrowful walks, our anxiety, our suspense and excitement, until my poor wife was nearly exhausted. I could not prevail on her' to retire from the search, and rest, and leave me to continue it without her. She could eat nor sleep but little in such a state of mental anguish and excitement. When all hope of ever finding our daughter had nearly vanished, we started again towards Kent’s Hill, to get her trunk, see her diary, and to see if she bad not written something and left in her trunk, or clothing, whereby we might get some more light in the matter. We arrived on the Hill at eleven o’clock in the evening, as tired and distressed sufferers, perhaps, as ever visited that Hill. The next morning I called at Dr. Torsey’s, and told his wife that Mi's. Greene was on the Hill, and we wanted Dr. T., Miss Case, Mr. Daggett and wife, and as many of the faculty as he chose, to meet us at as early an hour as possible. He called the whole faculty together at his bouse, and informed us of the place of meeting. We repaired to his sitting-room, and found there present, Dr. Torsey, Professors Robinson, Morse, and Harriman, Miss Robinson, teacher in painting and drawing, Miss Grover, teacher of music, and Miss Case, the preceptress. I will now state the substance of a portion of the conversation that trans­ pired at that meeting. I may not give the precise language, verbatim, in all cages, but will give the ideas correctly. �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. i I i I > ■ 43 I asked Dr. T. why he had not sent for us or let us know about the trouble before L. left. He said “ he did not know she was going away.” I asked him about what she had done. He said “ he knew nothing about the clothing ; ” but he and Professor Robinson both said something about her having a skeleton key. Dr. T. also told us about her taking the five dollars in money. I asked him “ why he had not taken care of her, and sent for us ? ” He said “ she was of age, and he had no authority to do so, or right to control her.” (It brought to my mind a passage I have seen in a Book of ancient date: “ Am I my brother’s keeper?”) I said: “ You have controlled her by your petty rules for five years. She has been of age for a year past. You could control her while you chose, but when trouble came upon her, you abandoned her.” Having convincing evidence, in my own mind, that Dr. T. was strongly prejudiced against L., and believing that thence an unfavorable influence had extended to other members of the faculty in that direction, I charged him with being prejudiced against her, which he did not deny, but virtually admitted it by saying he and L. had made up about a year ago. I said : “ Being prejudiced, you could, perhaps, see little things in her, and call her to account, and annoy her much by your petty rules and your construction of them to her, while you would not notice them in a favorite.” lu the course of the interview Dr. Torsey said that “ L. was all broke down, and wept, and that he himself shed tears ; that she said she could not go home, — could not see us, and did not think we would receive her.” I then said : “ Where, in the name of Heaven, did you think my poor child would go, if she could not go home?” Mrs. Greene said: “ Why did you not send her to one of your rooms in your house, to your wife, and let her comfort her ? ” He replied that she was under censure, and it would not be proper to send her. to his wife. (We understood him to mean that it would disgrace Mrs. T.) Then continued Mrs. Greene : “ I had rather von w’ould have arrested her as a thief, if it was necessary to do so, in order to keep her, until we could have been sent for.” “ You would have had no need of that,” I ad­ ded ; “ if you had only told her she must take a private room with C., and you would look the matter over, and see what was best to be done, she would have done so ; and you might then have sent for us before you dis­ closed to her your intentions.” “ I told her,” said Dr. T., “ if she went to Lewiston, she must make arrangements with Chestina about going.” “ Then you did know,” said Mrs. G., “ that she was going away.” He said that “ L. said she sometimes went home by the way of Lewiston, or that she would go to Lewiston and write home, or send for us to meet her there.” “ You must have known her sensitive nature,” said Mrs. G., “ and �44 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. the effect so great a disappointment must haye upon her. You are an am­ bitious man, and you would not like to have your character, standing, and high hopes blasted for so small a matter as this five dollars; no, not for five thousand dollars. Do you not think our child’s hopes and ambi­ tion were not as great as yours? You could not have had her here these past five' years and not understand her nature. If you were an ignorant man I could' forgive you; but now I cannot forgive you. She had not much money, no trunk nor clothing with her, and she will be looked upon with suspicion at every turn. I do not believe she would be taken in any­ where ; and as she left her jewelry and best clothing, when she went away, I think she is dead.” As Mrs. G. made these remarks she looked the pic­ ture of utter despair. Dr. T. coolly replied : “Mrs. Greene, I think you need have no such fears.” Knowing what an old dress L. had worn away, Mrs. G. said : “ In two weeks she will be in rags. Where can she be?” “ Well,” said he, “ I think she has gone into some country town. Your daughter in rags, with her open and frank countenance, her lady-like man­ ners, would make friends anywhere; anybody would take her in.” “ Then she must find different people than you were here,” replied Mrs. G. “ You thought it would disgrace your wife to take her in foi’ a few hours, until you could send for us.” He made no reply. If he had not meant the mat­ ter as we understood it, I think he would have explained. Yes; this (heartless, shall I say?) man could tell my poor and almost distracted wife, in such an hour, and under such circumstances, that stran­ gers would take her child in, while he, who had known her so long and well, and who, we had a right to expect, would be her guardian and protector, at that “ safe and pleasant home ” promised her, would not take her into his house till we had been notified of the difficulty, which .would have re­ quired but a few hours, — could not keep her a few hours, it seems, until he could return her to the keeping of the safe hands from which he received her. As Mrs. Greene was coming down on him rather closely in questions and argument, in order to nonplus her, as it seemed to us, and break her ar­ gument and close questionings, he suddenly said: “ You have lost a child lately?” Mrs. G. was sitting directly facing him, clad in deep mourning, and he knew all about our losing our youngest child, seven years old, only a few months before, as our two girls were sent for, who were at his school, to go home to the funeral; and he must have known, also, that Mrs. G. took the death of this child extremely hard, and that fears were enter­ tained that her mental powers would give way under the shock. Henoc, I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 45 probably, this attempt to wound her feelings, and divert her from the im­ mediate question, and stop her argument or confuse her, by calling np a subject on which her mind had been severely exercised. Once, in the course of the conversation, he stamped upon the floor, thus trying to stop us and stamp us down in that way. He seemed very anxious to know what we were going to say outside about this affair. Now, kind readers, judge ye: If he would thus try his arbitrary authority on and over us, what would he do and say to our child, if she tried to defend her case ? In the course of the conversation he said: “ I told her I would hold her diploma, and if she would live a good and honest life for six months or a year, she could then write me, and I would send it to her.” Was it true, then, that.he did not know she was going away? If so, why did he talk about her writing, and his sending her diploma? She did not feel that she could go home, for she had told him so. Well might I ask him “ where, in the name of Heaven, he expected her to go?” Poor child! After five long, tedious years with books and tutors, studying late and early, until her eyes nearly failed her, enduring those hard rides, over rough roads, twentyfive miles, six times every year, in the spring, fall, and winter, and often, too, in cold storms of rain and snow; after putting forth all the energies of her mind to accomplish her studies, stand well in her class, and reach the goal of her ambition, until her physical and mental powers were becoming exhausted by the heavy tax upon them, and knowing how much her parents and friends doted on her, and how anxious they were for her success, — if she could not graduate, which was the crowning point on which her heart was set, but must be sent away, disappointed, heart-broken, and disgraced, — to her distracted mind there was no future for her, and death seemed preferable. It has been asserted by some, who feel interested to exonerate from blame those who have control of that institution, or are engaged in its management, and the public are asked to believe, that Louise “ left the school of her own accord ; ” that “ no intimation was given her that she must leave, and could not graduate; ” and that those under whose charge and care she had been placed, did not know or mistrust that she was not in her right mind, or perfectly sane, when she left. As these propositions arc debatable, and, as I believe sincerely, each and every one of them incorrect and untrue, I will endeavor to show that • they are controverted by the tongue and pen of the party most interested to substantiate their truth, and, also, by attendant circumstances. In a letter to me, dated at Kent’s Hill, May 23, 1866,— being the same day L. left, — Dr. T. says : “ She left of her own accord, without my knowl- �I i 4G THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. edge." In the conversation to which I have alluded, he said that “ L. promised him she would go home, or go to Lewiston and send for me to meet her there.” As Mrs. Greene had before said that L. was always a truthful girl from her childhood, he rather sarcastically said, “ If she promised, should I not have believed her? ” Prof. Robinson says, in a letter dated Nov. 12, 1866 : “ No intimation was given her that she must leave the school; that she could not graduate. Mr. Torsey expressly said to her that if she left, it would not be on account of any action of the faculty, but of her own choice. She, at last, promised Mr. Torsey that she would go home. Mr. T. proposed to procure a carriage for her; but she said she sometimes went by way of Lewiston, and her father would meet her there; but whichever way she went she would let her sister make dll the necessary arrangements. As soon as Mr. T. learned that she had gone, contrary to her promise, he immediately sent a student with the sister to Mr. Greene, to inform him of the circumstances and to urge him to meet L. in Lewiston.” Before closing his letter, he says, “ Such, briefly, are the facts.” As no one was present but Dr. T. and my daughter, at this last interview, when it was said this promise was made, Prof. Robinson must be dependent on Dr. T. for all the knowledge he possessed of these “ facts,” which he announces with such positive and bold assurance. Was this statement, that “ she promised she would go home,” or that she would “go to Lewiston and send for her father,” true? Was it a fact that no intimation was given her that she must leave ? and that her leaving was a matter of her own choice ? As no eye nor ear but God’s witnessed this last interview between Dr. T. and my daughter, I will let their pens answer these questions. In a letter to me, dated May 27, 1866, Dr. T. says : “ I had a long conversation with her the morning she left, and urged upon her two things : First, that she go to Jesus with the whole matter, etc. Second, that she go at once to her father and mother, telling them all.” He does not say that he gave her any intimation that he would overlook or forgive, or that he would do the least thing to help her in her trouble. He further says : “ At our parting she gave me some assurance that she would do both these things.” Again he says : “ She named going by the way of Lewiston, of writing you to meet her there ; but did not insist upon it, any further than merely mentioning it.” From these statements does the reader discover anything like a ■ promise to do any of these things, as asserted by Prof. R. ? Dr. T. also says, in this same letter: “ I wished her to allow me to get a team, and that she and Chestina should go, at once, home.” After this he speaks of �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 47 her “ finally agreeing, as he understood it, to make no arrangements herself, but allow Chestina to make them.” In her last letter to her sister, written on that fatal day, Louise says: “ Dr. Torsey informed me this morning that I had better leave to-day. ‘ Not expulsion,’ he said, ‘ we won’t call it that, but I advise you to go home.’ Practically, it amounts to the same thing, however.” Practically, she thought it amounted to the same thing as expulsion, so she said ; and do not my read­ ers think the same ? Dr. T. wished her to “ go at once home,” he “ urged upon her that she go at once to her parents; ” he “ advised her to go home ; ” these are his own words written to me. And she had been too long uuder his charge to misunderstand what his wishing, urging, and advising practically amounted to. Yet, Dr. T. says, “ she left of her own accord, and without his knowledgeand Prof. Robinson, that “ no intimation was given her that she must leave,” and that her leaving was a matter of her “ own choice.” This play on words to disguise real facts, to evade the force of what, in substance, is the truth; this attempt to hide the true intent, designs, and purposes of actions, by using certain words and forms of expression, may succeed in carrying conviction to the minds of some, but, I apprehend, it will not avail before an intelligent public. It matters not with me what particular words were used, or things said, to give my daughter to understand what the real intentions were respecting her. Per­ haps she was not told in so many words that she must leave the school. She says she was informed that she “ had better leave.” She does not say she was expelled. Dr. T. would not call it that; but she was advised to go home. How could she graduate after leaving the school, as advised and urged to do ? Dr. T. has’ a great faculty to say or write in such a way that he can put any construction he chooses to the same. He well understands the art of intrigue aud double-dealing. “ If I could have had an opportunity to retrieve the past at the Hill,” etc., she says, in her class letter, “ maybe there might have been a future for me.” When Dr. Torsey asked her, in that last conversation, what she proposed to do, she replied: “ I want this kept from the school, and stay and graduate.” In view of the testimony here adduced, I leave the intelligent reader to judge whether it is a “ fact,” that she left the Hill without the “knowl­ edge,” instigation, “ action,” or intimation of any of the faculty. “ I did not tell Louise she could not graduate,” says Dr. T. in a letter to me, dated Oct. 29, 18G6. “ I told her the trustees voted the diplomas, aud I would be her friend in the matter.” In this same letter he also says: “ I spoke only of any time of her leaving when she had decided to go home �48 TIRE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. that day.” If this were so, why did he tell us in the faculty meeting that she said she could not go home? that she could not see or meet us? And why does he say she promised to go to Lewiston, and send for me to meet her there? What means the following, from his letter, May 27, 1866? “ I wished her to allow me to get a team, and that she and Chcstina should go at once home. She thought neither you nor her mother would receive her.” This statement does not appear to carry the idea that she had decided to go home that day; but the reverse might be inferred, namely, that she could not make up her mind to go home and meet her friends then. Is it at all probable that she sought to leave the institution without graduating, and was seeking, voluntarily, to leave it in disgrace? Dr. T. stated, on the day L. left, that she told him that morning, “ If she could not graduate there was no future for her.” And when asked what she proposed to do, she replied: “I want it kept from the school and stay and graduate.” Will he now pretend that when he advised her to go home, he expected her to-return in two weeks and graduate? If so, why was she “urged” and advised to go home? From anything that L. said or wrote, it does not appear — to me at least—that leaving the Hill was of her own seeking, or that she ever said she would go home. Why, her whole ambition, for those five long years of study, was to get through with all that was required of her, graduate, and obtain her diploma, and her whole soul and mind was bent on this achievement. Having accomplished this, it was her intention then to obtain a situation in some large institution as a teacher in painting, or some other department. In the “ Boston Journal,” a paper taken by the Adelphian Society, of which L. had frequently been Secretary and Treasurer (a student has writ­ ten me, that all the funds entrusted to her care for a long time were faith­ fully kept and properly expended by her as an officer of the society), appeared an advertisement for a teacher, at Hartford, Connecticut. L. had -answered that advertisement a short time before she left; and on the second day after she had gone from the Hill, a letter arrived to her address, dated at Hartford, Ct., May 24, 1866, requesting her to meet the Principal of that school, at Hallowell, Me., on the next Saturday, to make the necessary arrangements for her to go there in September following. This was her great desire, to get through her studies and obtain a situ­ ation ; and, as soon as possible, to get situations for her sisters also, as music-teachers, etc. She had often told her mother, that as I had spent so much for her, she intended to repay it, or its equivalent, in doing much for the other girls, her younger sisters, — so that she and they might be of some use in the world. This letter was heart-rending to us. It was pain- X. I » J �THE CROWN WON BITT NOT WORN. 49 ful to think that the long anticipated, and much desired opportunity was just ready to be offered her, and she died without the knowledge of it, and that her opportunity to assist her four sisters, for which her ambition and anxious zeal aspired, was lost forever. It was one reason why we desired to give her a thorough education, that she might help her younger sisters. To say that she did not desire to stay and graduate is advancing an inconsistent idea, at once at variance with reason, facts, circumstances, and good judgment. She had only two weeks longer to toil and strive, and the long-desired goal would be reached. It vanished in a moment, and to her mental vision her future'became a blank forever. It was this bitter disappointment, in my judgment, that veiled the prospects of the future, distracted more completely her mind, severed her ties to earth, and destroyed her life. What scathing words were uttered in the enunciation of the consequence and penalty of this alleged misdemeanor, or what representations of the “ enormity of her crime ” were made to the frenzied brain, to increase delusive ideas, and give a false coloring to life’s prospects, if any, God and the actors only know. On that fatal 23d day of May, she wrote a letter to her sister, and directed it to her, on Kent’s Hill. She must well know, that, under the circumstances, Dr. T. would be very likely to see that letter the next day, and, if untrue, would be likely to detect and expose the falsehood. “ Dr. Torsey informed me this morning,” she says, “ that I had better leave to-day; ‘ not expulsion,’ he said; ‘ we won’t call it that; but I advise you to go home,’ etc. “ How I feel God only knows, you never can; and my bitterest agony is for the dear ones at home.” Did she not understand his language, when she says, “ practically, it amounts to the same as expulsion”? And did not Dr. T. understand the language as she did? Did he not evidently mean she should so under­ stand it ? Had he said, “ It is expulsion, but we will not call it that,” would she have understood it differently from what she did? I have presented many circumstances, extracts from her writings, etc., to show that a prejudice had grown up against her, which appeared to , manifest itself in a disposition to find fault with her for little things, and in threats of “ little forbearance,” etc., if she should be found guilty of any violation of rules. In view of this condition of things, as they evidently existed in her mind, whether the reader is so impressed or not, 4 �4 50 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. what shadow of hope, or expectation of mercy or forbearance had she at his hand ? In her class-letter she says, — “ If I could have had an opportunity to retrieve the past at the Hill, — if this thing had not been made public property, and common talk, — maybe there might have been a future for me.” Who prevented her having “ an opportunity to retrieve the past at the Hill?” Who made this thing “public property ” and “ common talk”? Dr. T. told her, in that conversation in the morning, that “the school knew it; ” which meant and implied, as I understood it, that the school generally knew about the whole matter. He told M. I. Reed, “ that he said this to L. that morning she left; ” and Roscoe Smith told me, in the presence of others, that Dr. T. told him, “ that in answer to her request to have the affair kept from the school, and she stay and graduate, he told her, ‘ The school knew it, or most of them.’ ” Prof. R., in the letter to which I have before alluded, says, “ After as private an investigation as possible, Miss Greene acknowledged that she had taken several articles that did not belong to her,” etc. This very private investigation was made on Tuesday, and on Wednes­ day morning she was told by Dr. T. “ that the school knew it; ”• and about this time, Miss Case told all her class all about it. It was not her confession that revealed the whole matter to the school; for this was not made to the whole school, which she was told knew it, but to Miss Case, her teacher, and Mr. and Mrs. Daggett, the steward and matron. Yet we are told, and it is published from Kent’s Hill, that none of the faculty were responsible for these things being made public property, and common talk so soon. Mr. Daggett, under date of July 2, 1866, writes me as follows : — “Jonas Greene, Esq.: Dear Sir, — Your letter, inquiring who was present when Louise confessed she took $5, is received; and in answer I will say, Miss Case, Mrs. Daggett, and myself were present.” These were the parties who made the investigation into the whole affair; aud Prof. R. says, “ It was as private as possible.” Three only knew her confession of taking the money, “ the only crime she could feel herself guilty of,” as she writes to her sister. It was a wilful misrepresentation, a lie, when he said, or any one says, “ It could not have been kept from the school.” Louise knew it could have been so kept; and, when Torsey told her “ the school knew it,” she knew they did not mean to save her from disgrace; they meant to enforce 5 L > �THE CROWN WON BET NOT WORN. ,1 ► J i I i I a Sk. 51 his threat, “ that if she did anything that looked like a wilful violation of any rule, she could expect little forbearance from the faculty.” This is a point I make against them, and that prejudice caused them so to act. This is what killed her, broke her heart, and sent her to destruc­ tion. Her confession was made Tuesday afternoon, and early next morning, Dr. T. tells her, “ The school knew it.” Was it true that this matter bad been published to the school of some two hundred students in so brief a time? Or, was he seeking to take from her every prop, every possible ray of hope,' that she could stay and graduate ? Whatever might have been the motive or design, it looks very much like the consummation of the threat, that “ if'she did anything that looked like a wilful violation of rule, she could expect but little forbearance from the faculty.” If it were true, that the school did know of the affair in so short a time, in whose power was it to have kept this knowledge from them ? Who was to blame or responsible for making it-“ public property ” and “ common talk” so soon? It may be answered, that no one was to blame ; that no obligation rested on any one to keep the matter from the knowledge of the school, or from the public. Admit this to be so. Do the features of the case bear the impress of moral kindness and Christian forbearance? When one who “had hitherto borne an irreproachable character” had for the first time been guilty of a wrong act, whether rationally conceived and sanely car­ ried out, or otherwise, and who had frankly and promptly confessed the error, without equivocation or falsehood ; ought not her former good char­ acter to plead effectually in stay of judgment, and postponement of sen­ tence, till all the causes and circumstances in the case could have been investigated, and till she could have bad the benefit of a father’s counsel, and a mother’s sympathy ? Had my daughter been morally and really guilty of the “ mysterious ” act of which she was accused, and a thousand times more, I appeal to the public to say, whether I ought not to have been notified before the deter­ mination that she should not graduate was made known to her. “ She made,” says Mr. Daggett, “ an immediate and full confession as to the money, and returned it, not denying a -word.” Had she not reason to expect some mercy, some sympathy and forbearance, some friendly aid from those who should have been her protectors, to help her through this difficulty, and out of this her first offence? Was her conduct much like a sly and guilty thief ? Without the least shado-w or particle of evidence against her, on being asked about that five dollars, by Mr. Daggett, she �52 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. immediately told him where it was, and said she would get it for him, and did so. There was no lying, no equivocation, not the slightest at­ tempt in this affair, on her part, to evade the facts, as is almost invari­ ably the case with thieves. She says to her sister, “ The moment they asked me about it, I con­ fessed it.” In what may well be regarded as her last and dying words, she says to her class, “The only thing I have to be glad of is, that I did not deny when asked. Everything that was asked me I told the truth about, as near as I could in my distracted state of mind.” The truth of these statements made by her is confirmed by Mr. D. In his testimony to me, and I have never yet heard that any attempt has been made to controvert them. Yet neither her former good character and standing, nor her frank confession and penitence, helped her ou this occa­ sion. Her confession became “public property” and “ common talk ” ere the earth had performed its daily revolution; and, knowing the condition of things, and what had been said to her, it is no wonder that she said, only the next day after it was made, “ It is probably travelling the Hill at this moment, with a thousand exaggerations or that she said, “ I can hear, even now, the thousand buzzing rumors flying over the Hill.” She was “ advised to leave that day,” thus being informed,’satisfactorily to her mind, that she could not graduate. Cbestina, after L. had left, asked Dr. T. “if she could not have re­ mained and graduated ? ” “ Well, no,” he said ; “ it would not have been best for her to have gone on the stage; she would be pointed out as the girl that stole.” Thus intimating that everybody would know of her misdeed and her confession; and expressing himself, as to manner and time, as though the exhibition with her had transpired at the time the decision was made in her case, and she was made acquainted with it, and “ informed she had better leave that day.” “ It would not have been best ” etc., he says; evidently referring to the time when this point was settled with her, and she was in prospect excluded from the stage. ' In this condition of my lone child, separated from counsel and friends, what did he expect of her, and what did he intend respecting her? Did he ' intend to turn her out into the wide world, ashamed, disheartened, dis­ graced, and distracted, without money and without fribpds, a.lone wandeer to the solitude of the forest and the leafy couch of death? If not, — and God knows I wish not to judge too severely, — and a fatal mistake was unwittingly made, why was not an acknowledgment of the error as frankly �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. * ■ 53 made as was a confession and acknowledgment by my lost child? And would not such acknowledgment of mistake appear nobler and more Christianlike than seeking to evade censure by attempting to hide behind the invited, self-sought, self-coined and flattered resolutions or public expres­ sions of subservient, diffident, or favor-seeking students, or behind the ex parte report of an ex parte committee of trustees? Why seek to excuse or palliate a wrong, by exaggerating or harping upon the faults of the dead? Prejudice, when suffered to hold too much sway in the heart, is cruel, uncharitable, and unforgiving. It often blunts human feelings when kindness is really deserved, and gives to the actions of those against whom it is indulged a false coloring. Louise, was once expelled from Dr. T.’s house, — ordered out of doors, for telling him a simple truth, even after she had begged his pardon. Do all his acts, before and since she left, agree with the statements now made, that he “ had none but the kindest feeling towards her”? I propose, now, to introduce to the reader the testimony of M. I. Reed, relative to the matter of L.’s leaving the Hill. I will here state, without fear of contradiction, that Miss Reed is a young lady whose standing in society, morally, intellectually, and religiously, entitles her to confidence and respect. She is a teacher of much practice, and, as a scholar and teacher, takes rank before the public when known, among the first order. Being a lady of great energy of character, she interestecl herself in behalf of Louise as soon as she left, and thereby became acquainted with some important facts in her case. AFFIDAVIT OF M. I. REED. “ I, Mira I. Reed, of Roxbury, being of the age of twenty-three years, do depose and say, that I and Chestina S. Greene, who is sister of M. L. Greene, were keeping house, boarding ourselves together in a room in the L part of Dr. Torsey’s house, and attending his school on Kent’s Hill at the time Louise left, — May 23, 1866. I was well acquainted with her, and have been for a number of years. She was generous, kind-hearted, strictly honest and truthful in all things, so far as I knew her. I never knew ot heard a word against her character in any way, until after she left the Hill, May 23. I knew nothing about any trouble until about a quarter past ten, A. M., the day she left, when Eliza Bowers and Sarah Dow, two of Louise’s class-mates, came to my room in the college, where I was practising, and said L. had gone home, or to Lewiston. They told me she was accused of stealing; said she had gone in her every-day dress. They were greatly alarmed about her; were crying. I said: 11., would feel so bad she would �k bi THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. kill herself.’ Miss Bowers says: ‘ I fear so. Won’t you go and see Dr. T.? 1 think you will do best with him.’ I said I would. On my way up to Dr. Torsey’s I met Chestina on the street, and in answer to my inquiries she said she had just found a note saying that she (L.) had gone to Lewiston. She also went to see Miss Case, to ascertain how L. had gone. When she came back, feeling terribly, finding she had taken nothing with her, and had gone in her poorest clothing, she went down and out to find Dr. T. She found him in his stable. She came back in a few moments, and said: ‘ What can I do? What can I do? ’ and all in tears, threw herself on the bed. I went on the street, and met Mr. Harriman the stage-driver, who had just returned from the depot, where he bad just left L. He said she had bought a ticket for Lewiston. I told him I thought she would kill herself before night. He said ‘ he thought so.’ He shed tears. I asked him ‘ if he would go to Lewiston after her.’ He said, ‘ I will. • I think I can do better than any one else, as I am so well acquainted .with her.’ I said, ‘ You and Chestina had better go immediately after her.’ lie left, as I supposed, to get his team. I said, ‘ I would get Chestina ready in fif­ teen minutes.’ On returning to our room, I found Chestina still on the . bed; told her to get up. She should not lie there; she must get ready to go with Harriman. I got her clothing ready. About this time Dr. T. came to our door, and said ‘ he wanted to see Ches, alone.’ I went out into the adjoining'room. He went in. When he came out of our room, I met him at the head of the stairs. I told him I feared she would kill her­ self before night. He said, ‘ he had no fears of that.’ I cited her going in her poorest clothing. (He stepped back into our room, sat down, and talked a long while.) He said ‘ that looked like going into the factory to work.’ We still arguing the improbability of that, he seemed to think she was running away. We said we did not know how much money she had with her. He said, ‘ he understood she had fifty dollars sent lately: said something about her having a large letter from home lately. His talk and cool argument did quiet Ches.’s fears considerably; but still she, all the time, wanted to pursue her to Lewiston. This conversation with T. was at, or about, or just before twelve o’clock noon. He left, and then there was a long delay, a terrible suspense, — Ches., again taking on as before. No Harriman came with a team, as I expected at first he would. But, between two and three o’clock, p. ji., Torsey came up to our room again, and said that the arrangement was for Chestina to go home and let her father manage it, or do as he thought best; or words to that effect. He says to Chestina, ‘ You will have no objections to going home with Mr. Chandler, I suppose?’ I do not recollect that Ches, made any reply. u �55 THE CROWN WON BET NOT WORN. She did not object; but I knew she was greatly disappointed that she could not go to Lewiston after her. She said so as soon as he was gone ; but, as she had appealed to Dr. T. to know what she. had better do, she felt that she must submit to his arrangement.o Dr. T., in the first conversa­ tion at our room, told us, ‘ that he had never suspected her, Louise, of any, dishonesty in that direction;’ said ‘ he had a long conversation with her that morning. Louise said, “ if she could not graduate, there was no future for her.” I asked her what she proposed to do. She said, “ I want this kept from the school, and stay and graduate.” I said “ the school know it; ” that she then broke down, crying, and feeling terribly.’ I was told that Miss Case told May Chapman, ‘ she had better not go to Louise that night (May 22d), but leave her alone.’ As I understand, she was left alone, and her bed was not tumbledand it is believed she did not sleep any that night. When Dr. T. told us the arrangement was for her to go home, and that Mr. Chandler would go with her, I or we spoke of going immediately. Dr. T. seemed to be in no hurry, but remarked, ‘ It would be a pleasant evening to ride in; or they could go up in the evening.’ Then there was another long delay, a horrible suspense. I did not study or recite any that day. It was so with Louise’s class-mates, and with the school generally, so far as I know or discovered. Why, a terrible commo­ tion was on the Hill: an old, and valuable student — one just ready to graduate — had so suddenly been accused, for the first time in her life, and had so suddenly left, in the way and manner she had, there was a terrible excitement and feeling about the matter; so^much so that all who knew her, could, or did not attempt to, do much that day, after it was known she had left. All looked pale, and appear ed fearful of the result. The report was, that she had taken a large amount of clothing from the teachers’ and students’ rooms, — valuable marked and unmarked articles. “ I got all out of patience waiting for the team to come. It did seem as if they never would get started to take Chestina home ; but after supper, at, or about six o’clock, they got started with her for home, which is twenty-five miles. Dr. T. was informed that she had taken off her gold sleeve-buttons’and class ring soon after she had gone. “Mira I. Reed.” “STATE OF MAINE. “ Kennebec, ss., January 2Gth, 1867. “ Then the above-named Mira I. Reed personal!}’ appeared, and made ■ �56 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. oath that the foregoing statement by her subscribed is true, according to her best knowledge and belief. “ Before me, “Emery O. Bean, Jus. Peace.” Asking my readers to bear in mind the special points in this statement of Miss Reed, and for the present make their own deductions therefrom I pass to the AFFIDAVIT OF CHESTINA S. GREENE. “ I, Chestina S. Greene, aged seventeen years, hereby certify that I am sister of M. Louise Greene, and was keeping house with Mira I. Reed, on Kent’s Hill, at the time L. left, May 23, 1866. Before noon, on Tuesday, May 22, Miss Case and Mrs. Daggett came up, and went into Dr. Torsey’s part of the house first, and then came into our room. Said, ‘ There have been lately several articles, of clothing lost at the college, and we have discovered that your sister has been putting into the wash articles that belong to other persons ; and in searching her room and drawers, we found articles marked.’ Said ‘ she had confessed she had taken unmarked articles of clothing, and five dollars in money ; and we have come to look to your things. We did not know but what Louise had brought things here.’ I showed them all my things, and opened my trunk, boxes, closet, and all; and then they wanted to know if there was not another trunk, — if Louise did not keep a trunk there. I said, ‘ No.’ They seemed to think, or give me to understand, that she had committed a terrible crime in wearing the clothing, as well as taking the money. Gave me to understand that she had in her room, trunk, and drawers a large amount of marked and unmarked clothing, not her own. Louise came up while they •were there, and seemed to want them to look into everything, to satisfy them. She asked them if they had told me. L. says to Miss Case, ‘ I feel so strange ! I wish I could think; but I can’t.’ They found nothing there. Making apologies, they left. She, L., looked very pale. I said, ‘ What does this mean ? ’ She says, ‘ They have been losing lots of things at the college this term ; and as I put unmarked clothing into the -wash last week, they lay all to me. They have searched our room, — all my things. This is what comes of having tilings unmarked. What shall I do? If this thing gets out into the school, there will be alb manner of stories going. What will they not accuse me of ? ’ She repeated, ‘ What shall I do?’ I told her ‘ I guessed it would not get out any further; the teachers would not say anything about it, and it would pass off.’ She said ‘ she hoped it would.’ . ■> �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 57 She looked sad. She went back to the college, and I heard nothing more until I came home the next day, Wednesday 23d, before noon, from practising music, and found in my room, in Dr. T.’s house, a note on the table, saying, — “ ‘Ches., tell May I have gone to Lewiston, and if she wants to know, ask Miss Case why. Signed, Louise.’ “ I soon saw Mira I. Reed. She asked me ‘ if I knew L. had gone.’ I was on my way to the college to see Miss Case, to know how she had gone ; and when I found out, I hardly knew what to say or do. Came up to our room, and laid down on the bed in tears. I soon went down, and out to the barn, and found Dr. T. in the upper part of his stable. I asked him if he knew where L. had gone? He said, ‘ I have just learned that she had gone, and supposed she had gone to Lewiston, as she spoke of going there.’ Said he had advised and urged her to go home. Said his talk with her was chiefly about asking forgiveness of God and her parents. He said that Louise said, she had always had all the money she had asked for. I asked him if she could not have stayed and graduated. ‘ Well, no,’ he said. ‘It would not have been best for her to have gone on the stage. She would have been pointed out to everybody as the girl that stole. I said, ‘ What is to be done? What can I do?’ I told him I was afraid she would go off, and make away with herself. I had been to the college to see Miss Case, with the note in my hand, and asked her if she knew Louise had gone. She said she bad just heard so. ShS grabbed the note from my hand, and read it. She seemed to think it very strange, perfectly incom­ prehensible. She took me to her room, and talked some time. She sbemed to be very cool. She could not understand it all, etc. When I got back, Mira came in, and I went to see T., as before stated. And when I came in again, after I saw Torsey, I threw myself on the bed again. By and by T. came to our room, and said he had been to thb college, and found L. had gone in her poorest clothing. She had taken off her gold sleeve-but­ tons and class ring. Had taken nothing with her but her reticule. I was then frightened about her. Said she would make way with herself. He said, ‘ Oh, no ! I do not fear that.’ I said, ‘What can I do? I cannot stay here, and do nothing. Hadn’t I better go to Lewiston after her?’ ‘ Well, he didn’t know.’ Said he could, or would get me a team to go to Lewis­ ton, or to go home, if I thought best. I did not know what to do. I went again to the college, to find out more how she went, and what she said, and what she wore; and when I returned I saw B. Harriman, the stage-driver. I asked him what I had better do. He says, ‘I do not �58 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. know what to advise you to do. It will cost some ten. or twelve dollars for a team to go to Lewiston, and you might be blamed if you should find her there; or, if she has gone home, your father might blame you; and then if she destroys her life, or goes off, he will blame you. I saw Dr. T. again, and asked his advice. He said, ‘ It is arranged for you to go home, and have your father see to it, or take charge of the matter, and do as he thinks best. Yes, I think you better do that.* He went to see about . a team; and, after a long delay, a team and Mr. Chandler came ; and we started at six o’clock at night for home, which was twenty-five miles. Mr. Torsey sent a letter to father by Mr. Chandler; but sent no special word, information, or request by me to any one at home. “Chestina S. Greene.” “ City of Petersburg and State of Va., to wit: “ The above certificate was sworn and subscribed to before me this 16th February, 1867. “ B. I. A. Butterworth, J. P.” We were told at Lewiston, in less than a week after L. had left, by Mr. Frost, a former student at the Hill, “ that he received a letter from a student then attending school on the Hill, the next day after L. left, saying, that when she left, it was the opinion of students there that she was not in her right mind, and that she would commit suicide.” He further said, “ that with his previous knowledge of the management on the Hill, it was his opinion that the time and manner of her leaving, and the fears of students must have reached Dr. Torsey immediately.” All who are acquainted on the Hill are well aware how hard it is for the slightest trans­ action to transpire on that Hill without his knowledge. His Argus eye is ready to discover the slightest move of every student. I could not take a student away two miles, for only a short time, without his knowledge, and a questioning of that student relative to her whereabouts while she was absent. It will be obseryed that both Miss Reed and Chestina became alarmed for the safety of Louise, as soon as they heard she had left. The quick perception of Miss Reed told her in a moment that there was danger in her case ; while even Chestina, in her youthful'thoughtlessness, perceived’ the true state of the case at the first glance. The disinterested stage-driver, Mr. Harriman, also came to the same conclusion, as appears from expres­ sions then made, whatever he may now say to the contrary, without waiting for arguments and full explanations. Miss Bowers and Miss Dow were s �THE CROWN WON BITT NOT WORN. ►- k 59 alarmed, wept, and proposed that action should be taken in the matter forthwith, and proposed an appeal to him who from his position should be the one to organize action. Yet the acute acumen of the principal of that institution saw no danger, discovered nothing but an intention to go to the factory, or run away. “ Had no fears,” but readily adopted the pre­ posterous idea, that she would divest herself of her jewelry, leave all her best clothing behind, and “ ran away,” or go to the factory in her poorest, every-day, soiled apparel! It is true, having “advised” her to leave, knowing her state of mind, to pursue or bring her back might seem incon­ sistent, and be at variance with the feelings of the natural-minded man; but in the light of Christianity and the spirit of the gospel, it is better by far to retract a wrong than to persist in it. I appeal to the candid reader to say whether, in this case, there does not appear to be either a lack in discernment, a careless indifference, or wilful neglect, as to what the result might be. I do not mean to say that Air. Harriman, the stage-driver, was prevented from going to Lewiston with Chestina by the advice or directions of any one directly to that point; he might have voluntarily changed his mind in that matter; that he advised with Dr. T. on the subject is evident, from his statement subsequently made to me. There can be no doubt, had he been advised to that course by Dr. Torsey, he would have done as was first suggested by Miss Reed, and agreed to by him. It is clear, to my mind, that it was the management of Dr. T. that prevented his going. Miss Reed, and others, understood that L. was not in a condition of mind to be safely trusted off alone. Were their facilities greater, and their opportunity better, for judging of her state of mind than were Dr. Torsey’s ? He had bad a “ long conversation with her ” that morning, whereas it does not appear that the others had. He must have discovered the despair and despondency that seized upon her mind when she declared “ there was no future for her;” that it was sealed up. ■ Fi om passages which I have quoted from both Dr. T.’s and Professor R.’s letters, it appears plainly that L. was not considered sound in mind, or, at least, was under such mental excitement that she was<4iot accounted com­ petent to make arrangements for, and take care of, herself. “ Finally agreeing,” says Dr. T., “ as I understood it, to make no arrangements her­ self, but allow Chestina to make them.” What did this mean? What is the inference? “ But she said," says Professor R. in his letter, “ she some­ times went by the nay of Lewiston, and her father would meet her there; but wtuchever way she went, she woidd let her sister make all necessary arrange­ ments for it. As soon as Dr. Torsey learned that she had gone, contrary �60 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. to her promise, without the knowledge of her sister, he immediately sent a student, with the sister, to Mr. Greene,” etc. Louise was twenty-two years of age, while Chestina was but seventeen. L. had been on the Hill, through the terms, for five years, — was well ac­ quainted, and at home there; while Chestina, comparatively, was but a stranger there. Why was it insisted that this young sister should make all the arrangements? Why did L. make such an agreement or promise, if she did make such as they say, unless it was suggested and urged upon her? Why was she, who “ teas of age" as Dr. T. once told us, and who had formerly acted the matronly part towards that sister, to be placed un­ der her youthful guardianship on this occasion, unless she was considered by him in such a state of mind as to be incompetent to make arrangements for herself? Circumstances show very plainly that it was on account of her “ bewildered ” and excited state of mind, as manifested by her appearance, and the result shows that in that matter, at least, the conclusion and judg­ ment were correct. Having shown my readers a portion of the circumstances, and a part of what was said and done to influence or cause the exit of my daughter from the Hill, I will now ask them to go with me farther into an examination of her guilt and crime, in the matters of which she has been accused. I be­ lieve, in all well-ordered courts, before any just tribunal, whatever may have been the crime, the culprit is held to be entitled to all the benefit of a previously good character, which, before a humane tribunal, pleads in miti­ gation of penalties incurred. I have shown, by certificates, the character L. sustained in her own town and in the towns where she had been employed as a teacher. I will now show how her character was understood on Kent’s Hill, by those who had the best opportunity to form correct opinions re­ specting her, and where she had been a sojourner, during the terms, for1 five years. For this purpose, I will call some of her class-mates, and other students who ■were school-mates of hers, and let their written statements answer. I will here say that, in quoting and making extracts from letters, I copy from none except from persons who are, or have been, in some way connected with Kent’s Hill institution. My motive in withholding signa­ tures for the present will be appreciated and understood, when I state that the position and relation of many of the’writers, at present in connection with that institution, might render the publicity of their names unpleasant to them, aud make them subject to such annoyances as have sometimes fall­ en to others. I have now before me a letter, handed me by the clerk of Peru, who says there is no impropriety in my publishing it entire. It is as fol­ lows : r i I �L THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 61 “Winslow, December IGtli, 18CG. “ Mr. S. B. Newell : Sir, —Your letter came to hand yesterday, and I was very glad to receive it; for I have long wished for some avenue through which to express my esteem and love for Louise, and inexpressible sorrow for her untimely death. Louise was not only my class-mate, but my very dear and personal friend, for three years. Being such, I could, perhaps, form a better estimate of her character than many others. “ During all the close intimacy of school-girl life, up to the time she left us, her life was not only one of morality, but of unselfish and careful con­ sideration of the happiness of others. Through all our friendship, I never heard her speak evil of any one, except a few times, when her sensitive spirit had been stung to the quick by a careless word let fall by those whe considered her destitute of feeling. For the sake of making others happy, she seemed to lay aside all those likes and dislikes so common to school life, and yet so strong while they last. “ She was literally-a peace-maker. Many a one can testify to difficulties smoothed and hours made happy by her. ' Many a one has gone to her ii trouble, and, laying aside her own pursuits, she would cheerfully give their her aid, until the trouble, was removed. “ She had the rare talent of adapting herself to the company around her, and endeavoring to make the time pass as pleasantly as she could. How often, during some of the ‘ dark days ’ which come to all, have I been com­ forted by our dear Louise ! How many happy hours do I owe to her who has gone from us forever! Of her literary acquirements, perhaps I need not speak; they are well known to many students who have attended school with her. Besides the knowledge acquired by study, Louise was naturally very taleiited; in my estimation as much so as anyone who ever went from Kent’s Hill during my stay there. Of her death, and the sad cause of it, I can say nothing that would throw new light upon it. Only, in my sorrow, I remember that the Father of all judges not as man judges. I could fill page after page with expressions of the worth and acquirements of our departed Louise; but perhaps I have said enough for every pur­ pose. Accept these few lines as an earnest and sincere tribute to the mem­ ory of Louise, from one who knew her intimately, and loved her dearly. “ Yours, etc., Adelaide Webb, * “ Class-mate of Miss Louise Greene.” I have also before me a few other letters from her class-mates, handed to me by the same friend. I shall not weary the reader with the perusal of all these letters entire, but shall make such extracts as may seem directly �G2 TUT. CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. to touch the point now Tinder consideration. In one of these, under date of December 28, 18G6, I find the following: — u I scarcely know what to say to you after my former letter. I was un­ able to consult the class, we were so far separated, so we might act to­ gether. “ I then thought I could as easily speak to the public of Miss Greene, as to you, or any one, in private. But when trying to write for publication, I could not do it, and, for several reasons, think it best not to publish any­ thing. I regarded her character as above reproach, until this last act. This ! could say, but it has been said continually, to the public. We all know she ought to have been saved ; but we, as it were, were paralyzed with grief.^ and did not act as we now regret so much.” From another of these letters, dated Dec. 26, 1866, 1 make the follow­ ing extract: — s “ No one could have admired or appreciated, more fully than myself, the truly superior talents of our lamented class-mate. No one is more pleased than myself to speak of her beautiful traits of character, or to dwell upon the perfect kindly feeling that ever existed between us, as friends, as class-mates, as sisters, in class and in society. “ Of these things I think much; of them I am ever happy to speak to others. “ I feel that anything from my pen for the purpose of publication is uncalled for. “ I feel that in this case public opinion has ever been and now is very charitable and sympathetic, and seems to demand no further proof of the many talents and virtues of our beloved friend.” I will now give a few extracts froni other letters, written by L.’s school­ mates and class-mates to different persons. I copy from a letter dated Nov. 4th, 1866 : — “ I think it a fact, that no student has ever been more universally be­ loved than was Louise. Indeed, I do not know of a single person who bore any feeling of dislike to her; and as long as I have been here at school (five terms), I have never heard a word against her moral character either from teachers or students. “ A year ago last spring she sat next to me in one section in the collego dining-hall. I used to like her lively conversation; and as I got better acquainted with her, and learned what a kind, womanly, heart she had, I learned to love her, and I used to think she had some love for me.” �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 63 Another student, writing under date of March 24, 1867, when speaking of being acquainted with L., says: — “ And I knew her but to love and respect; and think I am but express­ ing the sentiment of her numerous circle of friends and acquaintances when I say, she was universally respected and beloved. Her standing in the school was of the highest rank, and her scholarship and ability unquestioned. I know of none in my whole circle of acquaintance on the Hill, who occupied, in the affections of their school-mates, a position so enviable. » “ If others seek to do her injustice, God forgive them ! “ Unfortunate as is the past, I cannot censure. “ As a class-mate and personal friend, our acquaintance, though, perhaps, not intimate, was yet sufficient for me to say, in all truth, I believe her to be as free from any intentional wrong as is possible for weak humanity to be. I would write whatever of wrong in sand.” * i I have before me another letter, written by one of her class-mates, and hs it was the young lady to whom her “ class letter” was directed, and as confining myself to extracts would in a measure destroy the beauty and pathos of the sentiments therein contained, I will give the letter entire,— a splendid endorsement of her character by one who knew her well, as follows: — “ Unity, Maine, Sunday, Oct. 21, 1866. “ Mrs. Greene : Afflicted Parent of ‘ our Sister,’ — As your family assemble to-day, in agonizing grief, to lay away the sacred remains of ‘ dear Louise ’ in its last resting-place, near by her own loved home, you cannot know the many mourning hearts that sympathize with you in this your deepest affliction. You cannot see the bitter tears that fall with yours to-day over 1 our dear sister’s ’ fate. As I sit alone in my own little room to-day, my thoughts are all with you, my stranger friends, and oh, I fain would fly to you and tell you of my sympathy, and beg you never to forget that we, her ‘ sisters,’ mourn with you this great bereave­ ment, — yours first, ours next. Although I am but one, I know I speak the hearts of all the class. Oh 1 could you have known the agony that rent our hearts, when first we knew ‘ our sister,’ had left us ; could you have seen the sorrow-stricken group that assembled in my room as that pre­ cious letter, her last message to us, was received; could you have looked into our hearts, and seen, through these long months, the restless watching for some trace, some knowledge, some message from ‘ our poor Louise, — �64 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. and when at last it came, how did the dreadful bolt strike home to every sister heart I — could you but know all this, as I do know it, you could never doubt our grief, but would feel, if sympathy can lessen grief, or soothe the mourner, that your own heart-crushing agony had lesser grown, .and that a soothing balm were falling on your overburdened spirit. Would that I could say some word of consolation ; but well I know how vain are words to express what the heart would dictate at silch a time. One little1 thing I wish to mention, my dear stranger friend, and may the simple instance im­ press you as beautifully as it did myself. Yesterday, my mother and I had keen speaking of Louise all the afternoon, — of her brilliant powers of mind; her uncommon talent for writing; her kindness and self-sacrific­ ing regard for her friends; her charity for the faults of others; her en­ couragement to those who were striving to do right; of our sorrow at her • fate so sad, so awful; and our deep sympathy for you in your heart­ breaking agony, — of all these things we were speaking, when, as I passed into another room, I picked up a piece of a torn paper that had been acci­ dentally dropped by some one, and my eye fell upon a piece of poetry, entitled, ‘ Lines to a Skeleton,’ that seemed so very beautifully appro­ priate to the occasion, that I really thought it strange. My mother was equally impressed with its beauty; and I cannot refrain from sending it to you, hoping that it may bring to you the same soothing influence that fell upon my heart, as I read it. “ Dear Mrs. Greene, — I have a great favor to ask of you, the granting of which would render me very thankful. That letter that dear Louise sent to us — her class—was directed to myself. I remailed it to you, after having reserved' a copy for each of us ; and also the envelope in which it came, which bears my name (Eliza J. Perley). If ’tis preserved, and you have not the slightest objection, I would prize that simple envelope very highly, as a last token to myself from one I loved so dearly ; and oh I if you could send me, too, one’ of her pictures^ I would be very thankful. She had mine, but had none of her own to exchange at the time. I desire one very much. Pardon these requests from one who is a stranger to you ; but be this my plea, — your dear Louise was dear to me. Your daughter was my sister. But now, stranger friend, good-by; and may a God of love and mercy strengthen your heai-t in your affliction, is the prayer of “ Eliza Perley.” I think I have produced sufficient testimony to establish the good char­ acter of my daughter up to the time when she was first accused of any serious wrong. As no one.ever assailed her reputation up to that time, it > r �M THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 65 may seem to some quite needless that I have said so much. But when it is .considered that it is contrary to the common course of vice, for any one to plunge at once from the height of seeming virtue to deep infamy and disgrace at the first step, I wish to show my stranger render, who may infer, from the fact that the act was committed, that her character was pre­ viously bad, that there is a mystery here ; and if my daughter was ration­ ally and intentionally guilty of the wrong with which she was charged, it is a case at variance with precedent, and the usual progress of iniquity. • I have endeavored to show that the last statement of Louise respecting being advised to leave that day, was true. I propose now to show that her . statement concerning the clothing was true, also. After leaving the faculty meeting, on the 30th day of May, which I have before mentioned, not obtaining much information, from that quarter, rela­ tive to the charges brought against L., of taking clothing not her own, and being told by Miss Case that Mrs. Daggett knew best about that matter, we repaired to the college, to have an interview with Mr. and Mrs. D. Dr. Torsey had preceded us thither, probably to report, “progress,” and look after his own side and interest in the affair. Mr. and Mrs. Daggett did not meet us in the faculty meeting, as was requested by me, perhaps for the reason that it might seem a little beneath their dignity to have their steward and his wife present in .their dignified faculty meeting. We told Mr. Daggett that we had come to learn about the charges against Louise, of taking clothing, etc. He told us he knew but very little about the clothing, as he was not present at that investigation; but referred us to his wife. Dr. Torsey then showed us into Mrs. Daggett’s room, where we had a conversation with her relative to the clothing said to have been taken or stolen. The substance and material parts of that conversation will appear in the following CERTIFICATE OF JONAS GREENE. “ I, Jonas Greene, do hereby testify and declare, that on the 30th day of May, 18G6, myself and wife called at the room of Mrs. Daggett, in the college building on Kent’s Hill, and said to Mrs. Daggett, ‘We have come to know about the charges against our daughter.’ Mrs. Daggett said, ‘ Do you want to know all?’ I replied, ‘Yes ; that is what we have conn? for.’ She said, ‘If it will not hurt your feelings, I will tell you all’ (speaking as though our feelings could be worse hurt than they already were at the treatment our child had received, when we had then searched a week for her in vain, and believed her dead). 5. �66 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. “ She then said, ‘ The first we thought or had any suspicion was, that Louise had been putting cotton drawers, not herown, into the wash, Cor five or six weeks.’ “ ‘ Were they marked?’ we asked. “ She answered, ‘ No.’ “ Mrs. Greene and I had agreed, before entering the college building, , that if they said any of the things were marked, we would request them to produce the articles, that we might see if they were plainly marked, or if there was not some mistake in the mark, or some chance for a wrong con- » » struction to be put upon the real fact. “Mrs. Daggett continued, and said, ‘We entered and searched her room and things while she was at meals, down at the table. We found in her room, trunk, and drawers, some articles that did not belong to her.’ “ We asked, ‘ Were they marked? ’ “She answered, ‘No.’ “ 1 Do you take the liberty,’ we inquired, ‘to unlock, enter, and search students’ rooms when you please ? ’ “ ‘ Oh, yes,’ she replied ; ‘ we could not get along here with so many stu­ dents without that right, or without doing so.’ “We asked her how she knew that these articles did not belong to Louise. In substance, she replied, that they belonged to some other per­ sons ; that ‘ two collars belonged to Miss Case; that they were new style, tucked linen ; and that none in the college, except three teachers, had such collars'.’ “ ‘ Were they marked?’ we asked. “ She answered, ‘ No.’ “ She then said, that ‘ Louise told her they were lately brought to her by her mother.’ She said, ‘ Miss Case took them.’ She said, ‘ Something was said to Louise about the clothing on Monday night; but they did not go into investigation until Tuesday, May 22d.’ She said, that ‘ she and Miss Case went to Louise, and questioned her, she not knowing that they had been into her room, and searched all her things ; that they asked her if she had any articles of clothing in her room, not her own ; ’ that L. replied, ‘ I think likely there may be.’ ‘ That they then asked her if she had such and such an article,’—naming two. She’replied ‘Yes; I think so.’ ‘That they then asked her if she had such an article,’ — naming a third in her room. She answered, ‘ No.’ That they then told her the article was in her room, and that she had denied a knowledge of it. That they then showed her the article, and inquired of her whether it was hers. That she r i �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. ■ 67 said, ‘ it was not.’ We then again asked. ‘Was this marked?’ Mrs. D. answered, ‘ No.’ '* Mrs. D. represented this to us as L.’s denying a knowledge of the article, and then owning she .had stolen it, with other articles, which she owned were in her room. “ She told us about L.’s having an unbleached chemise, which Miss A. Harriman claimed. ‘ Was that marked?’ we asked. She answered, ‘ No.’ She said, 1 It was put into the wash the Monday before L. left.’ She told us about another chemise, which Miss Case claimed, which was in L.’s room, and which L. said did not belong to her. ‘Was this marked?’ was* our inquiry. ‘ No.’ was her reply. “A linen handkerchief, which belonged to Carrie Straw, and which L. said was not hers, Mrs. Daggett told us was found in L.’s room. ‘ Was it marked?’ we asked. ‘ No,’ was the answer. “ She then told us about one or two towels being found in L.’s room, one of which L. said was not hers. “ ‘Were they marked?’ was the inquiry; and ‘No,’ was the answer. “ She also said something about some under-sleeves ; but said they were not marked. She said L. put into the wash on Monday, the 21st of May, two days before she left, two weeks’ washing, with a written list of the • articles to be washed, and returned to her and her chum’s box. (L. was absent with her mother, at Lewiston, on the Monday previous, on the 14th, and could not put in her week’s washing.) “ In this bundle, Mrs. D. said, was the unmarked chemise which Miss Harriman claimed ; also, one ruffled chemise’, which was taken to Miss J. Sherburn’s room, on Monday, to see if she would claim it. She did so. We asked if that was marked. She said, ‘No.’ She said there was one pair of cotton drawers in the bundle that belonged to Miss Lucy Belcher. ‘ Were these marked?’ we asked. She answered, ‘No.’ “ By this time we were getting out of all patience, in view of the current reports that had reached us at every turn, that L. had in her room, trunk, and drawers, a large lot of marked, as well as unmarked articles, and we asked if there was anything marked. Mrs. D. said, ‘Yes, a linen hand­ kerchief.’ Mrs. Greene said, ‘ Was it a nice one?’ ‘ No,’ was her reply. “ ‘Was it new?’ said Mrs. Greene. “ ‘ No,’ was the answer. “ ‘ Was it an old one?” continued Mrs. Greene. “ ‘ Yes,’ said Mrs. D., ‘ with holes in it.’ “ ‘ Was this all that was marked?’ said Mrs. G. �* 68 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. “ Mrs. D. said, ‘ There was a pair of stockings that looked as though a mark had been pulled out.’ “ Mrs. Daggett stopped here. “ Mrs. Greene then said, ‘ How did Miss Case and others know that these articles were theirs ? ’ “ ‘ Oh, by the sewing,’ said Mrs. D.; ‘ and by the quality of the cloth. Could you not tell your girl’s clothing ? ’ “ ‘ No,’ said Mrs. Greene ; ‘ I could not tell with certainty in that way. Many of her clothes were made out of our house, by others; and I do not ’believe those who claimed and took those articles, could tell, with any cer­ tainty, whether they were theirs or not. No doubt they had lost articlfes enough,'and were glad to get what they could. They might be perfectly honest, and really believe they were theirs.’ “ This conversation was just one week after Louise left the Hill, when all the circumstances must have been fresh in the mind of Mrs. Daggett. 6 “Jonas Greene.” “ Oxford, sst, August 24th, A.D. 1867. “ Personally appeared, Jonas Greene, and made oath that the above cer- • tificatc and statement by him subscribed, is true, as being the substance of the conversation touching the subject therein named. “ Before me, “Roscoe H.

I appeal to them, also, to say whether it was dealing fairly with my daughter to enter her room and take such unmarked articles, passing them through the rooms of the college, to see if they could find any student to claim them, in order to implicate her in taking them ; and thus making the matter public in the onset. Does it not look as though having detected L. in a misdemeanor, which she prompt­ ly confessed, they desired to make it tell as hard against her as possible, and were willing to arouse suspicion against her, and magnify her faults rather than palliate, —to wound, rather than console, her already distressed and “ distracted” mind? Does it not appear, from the manifestation of this disposition, that the last statement of L. was true when she said: “ They tried to make me account for all the little things that had been missed through the term”? I had another interview with Mrs. Daggett, in her room, on the 8th of November, when, at my request, she went over the whole account of accu­ sations against Louise, adding many new statements, and materially alter­ ing others. At this time, as well as at the first time we .talked with her, she showed evident signs of prejudice, and a willingness to make the whole matter appear as bad as possible against Louise. Whether these variations in her statements were made on account of her recollections of the affair being more vivid after the expiration of nearly eight months’, than in one week after the transaction, or for the purpose of excusing or shielding the faculty, or any one of them, from censure, I leave the reader to judge. And whether her seeming prejudice was real and self­ conceived, or instigated by others, and in their interest, is more than-1 can tell. Dr. T., in a letter to me, dated June 30th, 18G6, makes his charges against L. in the following language: — “ The facts, I believe, are these: Louise sent, at different times, bun­ dles of clothing to the wash, from which were taken, by the wash-girl, five articles of clothing not hers. In her room were found nine or ten articles, some of them marked, some of them not, having been sent to the wash, — some of them belonging out of the building. Before they were shown her, she denied she had such articles in her room. The money she took, and put out of her hands at once. For three years she had kept a skeleton key, opening all of the students’ rooms.” Mark what he says: “ The facts, I believe, are these.” He does not know the facts are so. He told us he did not know what the facts were, in the faculty meeting. Miss Case told us �70 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. the same in that meeting, and Mr. Daggett told me the same May 30th, and November 8th, 18GG. Nobody pretended to know but Mrs. D., and nobody’ does know what the facts were, except Mrs. D. Mrs. D. had told us, or endeavored to tell us, all about this matter of stealing clothing, as they represented it, on the 30th day of May. Time rolled on. Louise was lost, and could not be found? The public began to understand more about this sad affair, and seriously to censure some of the faculty. Public excite­ ment was increasing, and the necessity seethed to exist of making L.’s case as bad, and look as dark, as possible. New discoveries were made of arti­ cles in her room, which had evaded the scrutinizing search of Mrs. D. and Miss Case, when they searched everything in her room, even the body of the doomed girl, to her very under-garments on her, as Mrs. D. told me. I will here say, that it might be a misdemeanor in L. not marking her clothes. If so, she was not alone in the fault, as other students, and even the teachers, were guilty of the same. If it had not been so, Miss Case and others could not have claimed the unmarked articles found with Louise, some of which, no doubt, belonged to her, as I shall hereafter endeavor to show. As Dr. T., Mrs. Daggett, and others, in their charges against Louise, and in their letters, use the term “ her room,” it is proper for me to inform the reader that L. did not occupy the room alone, but had a room-mate, who occupied the same bed with her, each furnishing one-half the sheets and pil­ low-cases. They occupied the room and clothes-closet in common. Their clothes, when washed and ironed, were put in the same box; sometimes one, and sometimes the other, and sometimes both together,' going after them. Was there anything mysterious in the matter, that an article was found in the room thus Occupied, of which she had no.knowledge? And would such finding, and her denial of a knowledge, of such articles furnish sufficient evidence, in the opinion of any sound-minded man, to convict her of stealing, or of any intention to steal? I have used the term “ stealing," not because I do not know, nor because I suppose that every well-informed reader does not know, that this act of “ taking clothing,” of which they accuse her, is not stealing in the light of the law; but because I have reason to believe, from circumstances, and her last letter to her sister, that they did “ impress upon her mind the idea and conviction that they considered her guilty in this matter of stealing the unmarked articles found in her room which were not her own.” She says in her letter: “ As I live I had no intention of stealing them ; ” which shows plainly that the same accusation had been made to her which has been reported to the public, — that she stole these articles. �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 71 Taking these unmarked articles in lien of her own, which, wcic gone, which had been taken, perhaps, by others in like manner, might be contra­ ry to the rules, if not the practice, at the institution, and a misdemeanor or trespass before the law ; but to take articles in such a manner, to use and not to keep, in open day, to wear and expose them without concealment, returning them to the wash openly, with a list of the same, and her own signature or name affixed, as she did, in this case, no jurist would pronounce it larceny. F. A. Robinson, one of the faculty, under date of November 12, 18GG, writes as follows : — “ The facts in the case are these: After as private an investigation as possible, Miss Greene acknowledged that she had taken several articles that did not belong to her. Also, that she had taken money from one of the young ladies. Also, that she had had in her possession, for two years, a false key, which would open most all the students’ rooms in the college.” He does not say what these airk-.es were, nor how they were taken, but uses the word “ taken,” evidently intending to be understood “ stolen.” Neither does he say, as did Dr. T.: “ The facts, I believe, are these.” It was xthen November. L.’s remains had been found, and her tongue and pen must be silent forever. From what has already been shown, and the fact that Dr. T. told L. the next morning after the investigation that the students knew of the affair, will the reader call it anything like a “ private investigation”? I know that many of the students did not know of the matter the next morning after she confessed; they have-told me so. But did he not mean she should understand that the school knew it when he told her so? Since writing the statement of a conversation with Mrs. Daggett on the 30th.day of May, 1866, a copy of a written statement made by her, as also one made by Mr. D., has fallen into my hands. Presuming that these statements were intended to correct the opinion and relieve the mind of the person to whom they were addressed of the impression that injustice had been done to Louise, by placing before him, over their own signatures, the extent and magnitude of her offences, I will give them the benefit of these productions by laying them entire before the public. COPY OF MRS. DAGGETT’S STATEMENT. “ The first thing that led us to suspect Miss Greene of taking things was that one of the help missed a pair of drawers. In two weeks they tame into the wash with Miss G.’s clothes, her name marked on them with . �72 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. blue ink. The Monday before she left she brought down a fortnight’s wash (having been absent part of the week before), in which was a chemise belonging to Miss Sherburn, another to Miss Harriman, a pair of drawers to Miss Belcher, and a handkerchief to Miss Fuller; we found in her drawers a chemise belonging to Miss Case, another to one of her class­ mates, Miss Fuller, which she admitted she knew whose it was. I asked her why she had not returned it. She said, she supposed she should, if she had known this jvould have come up. There -was also fojind a towel belonging to Miss Robinson, and another unmarked, which she said did not belong to her; two collars of Miss Case’s, one of which she said at first was her own, but afterwards owned it was not; a handkerchief of Miss Straw’s ; a pair of under-sleeves of Miss Hunton’s.” “ The above-named articles — some of them were marked, but mostly unmarked — were identified and claimed by the owners herein named. “ Mrs. Daggett, Matron.” Before I proceed to make any comment on this statement of Mrs. Dag­ gett, I will give THE STATEMENT OE MRS. L. M. GREENE. • “ I, Louisa M. Greene, mother of M. L. Greene, hereby testify and assert, that on the thirteenth day of March, 18G6, my daughters, Louise and Estelle, picked up all their, articles of clothing, at the Packard house on Kent’s Hill, — Estelle coming home with her father and Louise going to the college building to board. From the articles of wearing apparel, which she carried to the college at'tbat time, and those which I carried to her on the 27th of March, and on the 11th and 14th of May, there were lost and missing (not including the towels handed, to me by Mrs. Daggett, May 30th, and the articles obtained by Miss Reed in October afterwards, nor those found on the remains of Louise), which did not come home with her things after she had gone, the following articles, namely : — 5 pairs of cotton drawers, 4 pairs of them good and nearly new; . 7 chemises, some of them bleached, some unbleached. One of the bleacnedwas ruffled, two were trimmed with tape trimming, one a plain yoke; 5 pairs of under-sleeves, one pair of them ribbed; 2 long linen towels with a blotted mark (‘ L. HL Willard’') my maiden name, on them; 1 long night-dress marked; 1 nice new handkerchief, plainly marked with her name, and cost $1.00 ; ; I !? ■ = �THE CROWN WON BET NOT WORN. 73 8 napkins, two of them marked, — 6 of them new ones, not cut,—put in the bottom of her trunk by me May 14th, 1866 ; 1 pair cloth boots ; 1 tucked linen collar, which I carried her from home, May \\.th, 1866 ; 3 new collars, late style; bought them myself in May; have the impress on they tcere “ tucked 1 box of paper collars; bought them myself May 14th, 1866 ; . 1 pair of new cotton hose, bought May 14th, and several pairs which had been worn some; . 6 skeins of black sewing-silk, which I sent her four days before she left; 7 sticks of embroidering braid Mrs. Kent had her charged with when she left, cost §1.26 ; . All her belts, buckles, bosom-pins and cuffs, — I know she had several of each, — together with many trinkets and little fancy articles. *In addition to these there were missing several valuable school-books, and four large sheets music copy paper ; 1 stone flower pot. In all 60 articles or more lost or missing at this term only. “ Louisa M. Greene.” “ Oxford; ss., Aug. 2ith, 1867. “ Personally appeared Louisa M. Greene, and made oath that the above et -tement by her subscribed is true according to her best knowledge and belief, before me. “ Roscoe H. Thompson, Justice of the Peace.” In 1864 Louise lost at the Hill two books, — one was “ Golden Grains,” the other “ Ten Nights in a Bar-Room,”—written by T. S. Arthur. I should not have named these small missing articles, had not sucli arti­ cles been named in their charges against Louise. It must be apparent to every one, from the testimony of those connected with the institution, that the practice of putting unmarked clothing into the wash prevailed, and was indulged extensively, if not generally, at the time Louise was accused of taking clothing. Mrs. Daggett says: “ The first thing that led us to suspect Miss Greene of taking things was that one of the help missed a pair of drawers. In two weeks they came into the wash with Miss Greene’s clothes, with her name marked bu them, with blue ink.” It is evident then, that these were unmarked till L. marked them. The “ help,” as well as teachers and students, were allowed to put unmarked clothes into the wash, while she, as well as others had nothing I �74 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. whereby she could recognize her own except the “ hems and stitches,” or something of the kind. “ Every like is not the same.” The help might be mistaken in the drawers and claim L.’s as her own ; or L. might make the same mistake with respect to those of the help. By means of ex­ changing, by mistakes or something of a less harmless name, L. had been the loser in the operation; and had all rooms been searched with the same relentless scrutiny as was hers, whose stubborn will to think for herself had doomed her to “ walk on the Hill alone,” no doubt the result of such exchanges would have been found in other rooms beside hers. I know not how it was managed, to get from L. her last pair of drawers ; but it is plain this was done. “ I came to the college,” she says, in her letter to her sister, “ with three or four good whole drawers, — two pairs which were new ones, — and to-day, as I ride away, I have none ; they were lost in the wash, because unmarked.” This was true. No drawers were found on her remains, and none re­ turned home with her clothing. Could the “help” who claimed those marked with blue ink tell anything about what became of L.’s drawers ? Perhaps not; yet, somebody must know what became of them ; and it was haixl that, from the ample stock of clothing which she had, and all she had been accused of “ taking,” she could not have been allowed a pair of drawers in which to travel to her leafy couch of death. As Louise had plenty of drawers of her own, if they were not lost, would she have returned those to the wash that the help claimed, if she had intended to steal them? Does it not look more reasonable that she supposed she had found a pair of her own missing drawers, and took a pen and marked them, in hopes she should not lose them again ? An extract from a letter, dated April 14th, 1867, from a lady who had • worked in the college building, will show how loose was the management in the laundry, and what other “ help ” were allowed to do. She says : — “ There used to be some grumbling among the students about their clothes getting mixed up. Never knew of the steward furnishing money or clothes for anything that was missing. As we were short for help to do our. wash­ ing, the steward’s wife told me to put my clothes in with students’. My clothes were not all marked. Towards the last of the term I missed one article of clothing, and could not find it anywhere ; but on the table I found an article of the same kind, that looked very much like mine, only it was marked L. A. Jones, I think. At any rate it belonged to a young lady. She had left that week, and taken her clothes out of.the wash. I made up my mind that she took her clothes in a hurry ; ami took, as she thought, her own, but by mistake took one article that belonged to me, and left hers. > * 1 I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 1> * 75 I went to the steward’s wife, and told her about it. She said, most likely that was the case. ‘ Any way,’ said she, ‘ take what you have found, and keep it until you find your own.’ I wore that one out, with the mark on it, and did not consider it stealing, either. I cannot think that it is anything very strange that she, or any other girl among so many, should sometimes get on clothes that do not belong to them.” “ The Monday before she left,” says Mrs. Daggett, “ she brought down a fortnight’s wash, in which was a chemise belonging to Miss Sherburne, another to Miss Harriman, a pair of drawers to Miss Belcher, aud a hand­ kerchief to Miss Fuller.” Here were four stolen or “ taken ” articles, it seems, returned fearlessly' to the wash, openly, with her own hand, without covert or concealment, to be washed, and, if unmarked, to be put upon the common pile ; if marked, of course, to be there for the claimer, or put in the owner’s box. At such evidence of larceny a jury of good or common sense would smile. But none of these articles were distinctly' marked, except the old handkerchief “ with holes in it,” which Mrs. D. told us about. That was marked with Miss Fuller’s name. To this Louise tacked another handkerchief, and said in her list, “ Two handkerchiefs marked ‘Miss Fuller;’” intending the mark on one to answer for both in tho description, making no attempt at concealment. Mrs. Daggett has given what she may' think are facts, which will answer the purpose for which they are written, without explanations or comments. I will allow Miss Sherbr me to express her own views respecting the first article named as being in the bundle ” brought to the wash. In a letter, dated at “ Phillips, Jan. 29, 1867,” Miss Sherburne says: — “ Even if Louise did take some clothes from the wash, I should think nothing at all of that; for it is no more than others have done, if they could not find their own, to take what there was left. ULy chemise had been marked with • ink, but had nearly faded out. It was not found in Louise's room, but she brought it into the icash with the rest of her clothes. Although.I was but very little acquainted with your daughter, I always thought very highly of her, and I never can think that the teachers, as well as Hrs. Daggett, did just right.” Neither the chemise “belonging” to Miss Harriman, nor the drawers claimed by Miss Belcher, were marked. Miss Hamman writes, under date of “Feb. 1, 1867,” and says: “The chemise that I lost was a new un­ bleached one,—not large, but rather small; had been missing some two or three weeks. I first ‘saw it afterwards on the ironing-room table,” etc. “ The article was not marked, but it was made unlike any other that I saw at the school.” She further says: “ There were frequent complaints that articles were lost in the wash. In regard to losing other things, I �16 ■S. i* THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN lost a new nice chemise in the fall term." r. uv una '• latten” this? Not Louise, surely ; for she was no longer there, to be urged “ to account for all the little things missing.” Miss Belcher, in a letter dated “ Fob. 28,1867,” says: “ The facts about the articles found in Miss Chapman’s and your daughter’s room I am unable to give, except as I heard them from the other teachers ; as I did not myself enter the room, or look at any of the things. It will- therefore be much better for you to ask Miss Case, Mrs. Daggett, or Miss Robinson.” (An oasis in the desert.) The reader will notice that while others are continually usipg the term “ her room, her room,” Miss Belcher recognizes the fact that she bad a room-mate ; and that she did not enter that room to search, implicate, and claim unmarked articles. She continues: “ About my things I will tell you in -as few words as possible. I had missed several articles of clothing; and on Mon­ day morning of that unhappy week, went to Mrs. Daggett, and told her I could not put my clothes in the wash again, until I could be sure of having them all returned to me. She asked me what I had lost. I told her, among other things, was a pair of new drawers, which I had put into the wash two weeks before. I knew them by certain marks which I described to her.” What these “ certain marks ” were she does not say; perhaps peculiar stitches or hpms, or something of the kind. She does not say they were marked With her name. It will be seen that they had been missing two weeks; and if they were Miss B.’s, Louise had worn them a week, and returned them into the wash. But Miss Belcher liad “ missed several articles.” Who had taken them ? They do not say they found them in the room, or pretend that L. returned to the wash any other article belonging to Miss Belcher. “ She (Mrs. Daggett) next morning, I think (Tuesday), brought them to me, and asked me if those were the ones. I at once replied that they were. In the course of the forenoon I was told it was suspected that one of the girls had been taking what did not belong to her; and, later, that it was your daughter. I was very much surprised and shocked, and told the teacher who gave me the information that I would rather give her all my under-clothes than have it made public.” It will here be seen that this exchange of clothing was represented to Miss B. as stealing, —a great crime. “It would be such a. blow. I admired her always for her talents, which were of the highest order; and felt sure that there was something more to bo explained. I know that words are powerless to comfort you ; but if an assurance of my heart-felt sorrow and pity for you, when I heard of the death of one of the njost talented girls I ever knew, can be of any comfort, you have this assurance.” In my judgment, had the same spirit and consideration that �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 77 breathes through this whole letter, from which.I have macle the. foregoing extracts, been manifested by all concerned in this heart-rending affair, we might have been still blest with the society of our darling child, and saved the painful duty of this defence. Having shown that this article, returned ’ to the wash in the bundle of which Mrs. Daggett speaks, was unmarked, and such as students and help had been allowed to take and wear when their own were gone, Mrs. Daggett continues : “ We found in her drawer a chemise belonging to Miss Case, and another to one of her class-mates, Miss Fuller.” The most I can say, in regard to the chemise claimed by Miss Case is,*that L. had one just like that, which did not come home with her clothing; and the collars which she claimed and took from Louise, I believe were the same ones that Mrs. Greene carried to her, May 11, 1866. Mrs. D. told us that L. said so at first, but afterwards said they were not the ones. We shall never know in full what she did tell them about the clothing. It has been told me that they-said L. at first told them that she took the articles of clothing because she was obliged to ; that she had frequently lost many things there, and had borne it in silence; but now, when hers were gone, she intended to make her own number good from the pile . of unmarked articles, until her own were returned. This, I believe, was the case ; and, further, that they followed in accusing, arguing, pursuing, until they got her so mortified and confused that she.hardly knew what she did say. She saw they meant to make it look bad as they could, and that they meant to disgrace her ; but as I could not trace such admission to any reliable source, I give the above as my opinion of what Louise did say to them about the clothing. If that chemise and collars were Miss’ Case’s, then L. bad certainly lost hers ; and it would not be strange if L. had taken these, thinking they were her own, she having articles like them; or any­ thing criminal, if she took them instead of her own. As to the article of . Miss Fuller, Mrs. D. says: “ She (B.) admitted that she knew whose it was.” Mrs. D. has tried to represent this as an article known to L. as being marked ; as she did to me, Nov. 8. Had it been marked, this expression would not have occurred. They would have known that she knew whose it was, without asking. It is immaterial whether she had this through mistake, or in lieu of a lost one. She and Miss Fuller were class-mates, social and friendly as sisters. She had found out, if Mrs. D.’s statement is correct, ■whose chemise it was. This, it seems, gave her no particular con­ cern or anxiety. It was going back to the wash at the usual time. She was asked “ why she had not returned it.” That is, I suppose, why she had not forthwith returned it, when she found out whose it was. She answers (according to D.’s recollection eight mouths after), “she supposed she �78 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. should, if she had known this would have come up.” She might have said, if she had known that, contrary to the practice with others, they would have got up this fuss. Miss Fuller writes Mrs. Greene, Feh. 1,1867, from 9 which I make the following extract: — “ I have hesitated to open anew the terrible wound I had no power to heal; but it cannot be unpleasant for you to hear repeated how much we loved our dear lost sister, although you know it so well already. If she had been less dear to us, or if we had been less proud of her talents and acquirements, that last blow would not have fallen upon us with such crushing weight; and although it is such a bitter thing for us, yet I feel that we cannot know the depth of your anguish when all your fears proved true, and you knew that our dear Louise could never speak again to you. Oh, it did seem almost too hard, and hardest of all to believe that' a word in season to the prayer of her letter to us might have saved her L But then it was too late; and when that word might have been spoken, everybody seemed powerless to act. We were paralyzed, it seems. I can explain it to myself in no other way. The garment that Mr. Greene wished me to describe to you, was a chemise with a straight yoke, trimmed with crotchet braid, and insertion of the same trimming bad been put in the band after it was made and marked. So that when each edge had been turned in to put in the trimming, the mark­ ing was turned in with it, so that nobody but myself would have dis­ covered it.” » This ch’emise, of course, must have, after being washed, gone into the unmarked pile, where L. found it. This class-mate told me that Louise was kind-hearted and strictly honest; safely kept, and properly accounted for, all the funds that came into her hands while she was treasurer of the Adelphian Society. She never knew aught against her until this affair; and that at the time these charges and • reports came out against her, they looked so large to us all then ; but now, it looks so small; it does seem bard to think she lost her life for it. The reader will see how this was made to appear at that time before the school. This class-mate does not think that they did all that might have been done to have saved her, as this bigoted faculty do, whose duty it was to have acted promptly to have tried to save her. Blind and self-willed are they who do not try to see. • “ There were also found,” says Mrs. D., “ a towel belonging to Miss Robinson, and another, unmarked,” which Mrs. D. says, “L. said did not belong to her.” One of these no one had claimed, the last we inquired about her things there. If they were not hers, then somebody bad taken them. These were the numbers which we knew she had lost, although wo �THE CROWN IVON BUT NOT WORN. 79 believe that she had several others which were not returned with her things. Mrs. Daggett gave as a reason how Miss Case knew the collars . she took from L. were hers was, “because none in the college but three teachers had such a new-style collar.” How did they know whose parents or friends of the sixty or more females there had not sent to them, or some one of them, in the last two weeks, or twenty-four hours, such collars as L.’s mother bad done nine days before? “A handkerchief of Miss Straw’s ; a pair of under-sleeves of Miss Hunton’s.” Mrs. D. does not say that this handkerchief was marked, or whether it was like the old one, full of holes, she told us about; or whether it was like the nice new one which is missing from L.’s things, I do not know. From the pen of the claimer, I have something definite concerning these under-sleeves. From her letter to me, dated Feb. 6, 1867, 1 extract the following: — “ I was very much surprised, as well as grieved, when, on the day after your daughter’s departure, I was in the room with Mrs. Daggett and Mary Chapman, and Mrs. D., from L.’s drawer, held up a pair of undei;-slceve3 and said, “These I suppose belong to some of the girls.” I immediately recognized them as mine. The above-mentioned articles were of my own make, and consequently the stitches were somewhat peculiar.” These were unmarked, or she would not have been under the necessity of appealing to the “ peculiar stitches” in order to recognize them. It is remarkable, that, with the loose practice allowed there, for the five pairs of under-sleeves which L. had lost, she had not taken in their stead but one pair ; and there is a doubt in my mind whether Miss II. was not mistaken in these, and that any of the numerous visitors to the room she had lately left could be induced to recognize, when such care was taken to exhibit articles, and “ suppose they belonged to other girls.” I have adduced before the public the statement of Mrs. Greene, respecting the lost and missing articles, to show that circumstances strongly sustain the statement which L. made in her letter, when she spoke of those unmarked articles of clothing, and said, “ As I live, I had no intention of stealing them. For every article I took I had lost one in the wash, and put those on in their stead, expecting before the term was done to find my own.” This asser­ tion must stand good and true unless proved to the contrary. Mrs. Greene purchased and provided almost all L.’s clothing, and had the best possible means of knowing what she had, and the description of each article; al­ though L. or her mother did not make all of these articles of clothing, and neither could tell about the “ peculiar stitches ” or hems of her garments, �80 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. as L.’s whole mind and soul seemed to be absorbed in her school dutiesI think it is measurably pardonable iu her if she was, as one student ex­ pressed it, “ careless about her clothing.” She was not so careful as some about small things or peculiar stitches. I appeal to mothers who have children away from home to school, to say whether they do or not know about every article their children have of clothing. The fact that L. had articles just like the ones claimed and taken by others does not prove that these were wrongfully claimed; but it does show the probable truth of her statement, .that for every article taken, she had lost one; and that others, as well as she, might make mistakes as to the identity of such under-garments. Through mistake or otherwise, she had lost numerous articles. If, through mistake, they were in the hands of other students, after the search, censure, and the representation of the “ enormity of the crime,” it would be no wonder or surprise, if the holders •should hesitate to bring them forward, and subject themselves to a like suspicion and .reproach. From a letter, dated Jan. 6, 1867, from a student who was at the Hill at the time L. left, I take the following: — “ While at school, I did lose a number of things in the wash. I never knew what became of them. Mrs. Daggett used to tell me that probably some one. else used to get them, and I could take other unmarked clothes in the place of them.” To show that not only Mrs. D. tolerated this loose practice, but that Mr. Daggett was also cognizant of and allowed it in the gentlemen’s depart­ ment, I will introduce the statement of Mr. Houghton. “ For the benefit of those whom it may concern,-1 would here state, that in the winter and spring of 1864 and 1865, I attended school at the Maine Wesleyan Seminary, Kent’s Hill, Me.; that I boarded in the college building, and was personally acquainted with Miss M. Louise Greene, then a mgmber of that school, and can testify to her good womanly conduct, and great ability as a scholar. I would further state, that while there, in the wash I lost two articles of clothing, which were marked with the initials of my name in large capitals, which I never again received. Go­ ing to the steward in regard to the matter, he told me he would watch the wash, and if possible find them for me. Making the fact known to one of my fellow-students a few days after, he told me he had taken from the table, on which our clothes were laid after being washed, an article of the same kind, if not the same that I had lost, and that I might have it if I chose. I told him it was not mine, and I would not take it. But after some hesi- ■ 3 I S I : �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 81 tation I took it and went to the steward, and told him the circumstances ; asked him if I should keep them until I found mine. lie told me I might, and, if I did not find what I had lost, or an owner to what I had, I might keep it; which I did, and wore the same away. This is an impartial and truthful statement. “ D. F. Houghton.” Louise says, “ When I missed things from the wash, I took other un­ marked ones from the table and used them.” She does not speak, in either of her two letters, as though she had been there educated to consider this tv crime or a heinous' offence. The same is true with respect to the ex­ pressions of other students. “ It is no more than others have done,”' says one, “ if they could not find their own, to take what was left.” I would not be understood as justifying this practice. No person living: ■ has stronger reason or more bitter cause to condemn and execrate theexistence of this state of things than I. When clothing of all description was allowed in the wash, promiscuously and unmarked, from the teacher (down or up, as you please) to the kitchen girls or help; when no one was responsible for unmarked articles, and when no one looked after, to sec who took the clothing, or what amount any student carried away; and when exchanges of articles were winked at, or openly tolerated; it seems hard, it seems cruel to us, that our daughter, after being drawn in by the existing state of affairs, should be made the scape-goat, to>bear off the sins or errors of this whole institution. “ They tried,” she says, “ to make me account for all the little things that have been missing through the term ; but I could not. I have not had them.” Then there were other articles, which they did not find with her. • I will now call the attention of the reader to that act, that mysterious “ crime,” as she calls it, which was beyond her comprehension, and the only thing which Louise felt that she was really censurable for. I mean the taking of that five dollars, and which she, on being asked, immediately confessed and restored. It is useless for me to repeat what I think and know about this strange act, this abrupt and hasty descent from her ever high moral standing down to an act of petty larceny. Concerning the money she says : “ Some Satan hidden in my heart said, take it, and, before I could think, I stood again in 27. When I went in to Miss Church’s room, I had no such intention in my heart.” This was the firit and only act of the kind she had ever done. She did not need the money. She says, in answer to the question, “Had your father been close about furnish­ ing you with funds?” “I have always had all the money I have 6 �82 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. asked for.” She made no excuse or denial, as is almost universally the course of those who commit crime, from the petty thief to the highest criminal. On being accused or arrested, they deny, prevaricate, and make all sorts of excuses. Look at the tenor of her letters, and the opinions of class-mates and fellow-students; look at her daily walk, her acts or conver­ sation from a child ; does the least appearance of a wicked heart, or a per­ verse mind appear, that she should conceive and commit this act on the spur of the moment, unless there was some hidden cause operating on her, ' and beyond her control at the time, and beyond her comprehension after­ wards? Those who are conversant with passing events, and with the history of the past, know there are cases where persons, seemingly harmless and sane, have been, as they have afterwards expressed it, irresistibly tempted to reek their hands in the blood of their best friends, and those they loved most dearly. Some are tempted to destroy their own lives, and, ’ if prevented, and the nervous excitement passes off, they will relate their experiences as an awful temptation which the enlightened mind of modern days ascribes to natural cause. One of L.’s class-mates says, in a letter dated Dec. 28, 1866 : “ I know, from her letter, that Louise took that money; but I believe that, for a moment, she was under an influence she could not resist; therefore not , guilty of an intentional error. The cold eyes of indifferent people cannot see this. Her letter I prize highly. I believe every word of it, and have not the slightest feelings but love and kindness for her memory.” It will be noticed that, at intervals, about that time, as the term neared its close, Louise complained of her head to her mother; complained of the lack of the power of thought: “Before I could think, I stood in 27.” In her ’ affidavit Chestina says, “ L. said to Miss Case, ‘ I feel so strange. I wish I could think, but I can’t. ’ ” Again she says in her- letter: “ I think, maybe^ I am not-exactly as I used to be-while I write this, for my head whirls, and I cannot seem to think to say what I am trying to say.” It is evident that Louise was aware that there was something unnatural and mysterious in the exercise, of her mind. It does appear, by her last letters, that she might be conscious at times, or have some suspicion of the true state of her case, and true condition of her mind. “ If I know myself, it was not the true, real Louise Greene that did this. She was trying to live an honest, womanly life ; or if she was, indeed, drifting into disgrace, she never realized it. That five dollars is a mystery to me. What pos­ sessed me to take the money I do not know; but I took it. The moment they asked me about it, I confessed it.” In her class letter she says : “ I do not know what tempted me. Everything that was asked me, I told the t �uns crown •won wct not worn. o 83 truth about, as near as I could, in my distracted state of mind.” Mr. Orrin Daggett, the steward, writing from Kent’s Hill, Jan. 29, 1867, says: “ Miss M. Louise Greene confessed to me and others that she went into Miss Florence Church’s room, a few days before she (Miss Greene) left the school, and took, in the absence of Miss C., a five-dollar bill from her portc-monnaie, which she restored before she left.” On the 8th day of No­ vember, 18G6, I was in the college office. He (Daggett) told me that some time in the day, on the 22d of May, he was called to the room where Mrs. D., Miss C., and Louise were to assist in the examination ; and, after questioning her about the clothing, — especially about two handkerchiefs' she had put in the wash, — (they were, I suppose, the same ones before named : the old one with holes in it, with Miss Fuller’s name faintly seen on it; the other unmarked, attached to it, and put into the wash with her written list), — he questioned her about them all he desired, then’asks her about the missing five dollars. He says: “The first word she spoke, she told him where it was, not denying a word. He asked her if she would get it. She said yes, and gave it to him soon after.” It will now be seen that, in this matter also, her statement in her letter was perfectly true. It will also be seen that this whole affair was all the work of a few days. Mr. Daggett, in answer to my questions, said they had not the least proof, whatever, against her, — Miss Church accusing no one of taking it; but they, finding she had a slight suspicion of some one, pressed her to know who that one was. She did not want to say, as she had no proof, — mere suspicion; said it would be of no use to say; but they drew it from her; hence his questioning L. If she had been a'bad or wicked girl, an intentional thief, she would have squarely denied all knowledge of the money ; that would have been an end to it; and those who knew her best, would never have believed she took the same. From a letter by a school­ mate of L.’s to her sister C., dated Oct. 24, 1866,1 take the following: “ Poor, girl 1 how she must have suffered 1 She must have been insane, or she never would have done as she did. I loved her dearly. I presume you will never attend school at Kent’s Hill again, and not to blame cither. I blame the teachers very much in regard to Louise going away.” Miss Harriman, who has been brought before the public as one of the claimants of one of the articles which L. took in lieu of her own, while, in the charitableness of her heart, she. no doubt, would be glad to relieve all from blame, seems to be willing that censure should fall anywhere rather than on her unfortunate and fallen school-mate. In a letter, to which I have before referred, she writes: “ Louise was a favorite with all. She was talented, and, as a thorough scholar, enjoyed an enviable reputation. �84 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. All were friendly to her, both Leacners ana students, as far as I can judge*, and that fact, perhaps, more than any other, made her wretched, and over­ turned the balance of her active but sensitive mind. She saw her own position in a worse light than others did.” Miss H. did not consider or know who impressed upon her mind the “ enormity of her crime,” the hopelessness of her position, and the void and-darkness of her “ future; ” her great object to graduate successfully, the bitter disappointment of self and friends. “ The faculty of the school were also deeply engaged , with care of government, and the preparatory measures for the close of term, and this very unfortunate affair took them entirely by surprise, and they may very likely have misjudged as to their duty. I know that when a fate so very sad occurs, with so many varying circumstances about it, it is usual for persons, in their deep affliction, to see faults in the management of the affair; and it would be strange if some of the per­ sons, actors in this scene, were not blameworthy. I have sometimes felt to blame her parents, even, for keeping her so long at school, and thought • that her mind had been overtaxed with study, and had become weak and ill-balanced in some direction.” Writing to us from Kent’s Hill, Oct. 7,1866, Miss M. I. Reed says : “ The blow was so great that it stunned her. Poor girl I She did not have con­ trol over her own mind when she left.” From one of her classmates’ communications, dated Oct. 19,1866,1 ex tract the following: “ I am very glad to say that none of the class, to my knowledge, said they, would not graduate with Louise. I cannot realize • that it is our own Louise, that we loved so much, that I am writing of. It is too dreadful to think of. If I had only spoken to Louise of this, that morning! but how could we? We would believe nothing of it till she was gone. When we knew its truth we believed her good and true, but only suddenly tempted. No one of the class but feels so, and would have then received her with open arms if we could, only have had the opportunity.” In another letter of Miss Reed of Oct. 28,1866, speaking of conversing with people concerning the guilt of L., she says : “ All the time I was trying to make people see it in the light that I saw it. I have told this story to many strangers as well as acquaintances,,and think all have said she could have been restored. Her crime was not a crime in their eyes.” By the closing sentence of the certificate of the leading citizens of Peru, it will be seen that their opinion coincides with that of the students at Kent’s Hill, relative to what was imputed to L. as a crime. They say: “ While we freely and unhesitatingly bear testimony to the virtue and good con­ duct of this lamented young lady, justice to her memory impels us to say, �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 85 that, in our opinion, whatever unfortunate circumstance or occurrence might have operated, directly or indirectly, as the primary cause of her untimely end, it was not her fault or crime., but her misfortune.” I am authorized by the friend who originated this certificate,' and obtained the signatures thereto (the town-clerk of Peru), to say, that he circulated that certificate, and, with two or three exceptions, obtained, in person, the names thereto ; and that the idea contained in this last sentence was the voluntary expression of nearly all, before their attention was called to that point;. that special care was taken that this point should be fully understood, and that all gave it as their opinion that, mentally, through the whole affair till her death, she was not fully herself. Dr. Torsey, in that faculty meeting, told us that L. told him that her parents were hard, proud, and-uuforgiving; that she cited a case as to her mother as evidence of the truth of her statement, which I know never had existence, except in her excited and bewildered brain. If she did this, we know she was mentally deranged; for no child was ever more attached to, and tender of the feelings of, her mother. She had all confidence in whatever she said. The same could be said of her mother’s feelings and respect for her; and no person on earth can make us believe that she said aught against her mother, if in her right mind. She has entri.es in her diaries, letters, and other writings, all through those five years, speaking of and referring to her mother in the most tender, affectionate, and respectful manner. Her conversation with students, and letters to them, and at places where she has taught school, when speaking of home and friends, all tell of the unvarying confidence, regard, and affection for her mother. She devoutly loved’and respected her mother. Her mother iu turn had the same love and respect for her. There existed between them an unva­ rying confidence and attachment. We all looked up to her as one whose counsel and advice were worthy of consideration and respect. “ O mother! my mother 1 ” were almost the last words she ever wrote. Her appearance, writings, and actions, after Torsey's talk with, and her leaving the Hill, the place and manner of her death, are all indications of the condition of her mind. Believing that a poem, written by her whei hei' mother was sick, would better illustrate her feelings, and would interest some readers, I will give it iu full. “LINES “WRITTEN WHEN OUR MOTHER WAS DANGEROUSLY ILL. “ Nay, Father, spare her longer yet, and let mo go; I am not needed hero; and she, our darling mother, When the is gone, who then shall guide �86 > THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. , Tho little feet, and teach them how too walk tho path, Tho long, rough way, which Icadcth on Through briars and thorns, and over giant hills, to ond In life immortal ?

But in her last days, hours, or moments (for none can tell how long she remained there before death ensued), no eye but God saw her; no human hand was present to administer comfort; no human tongue to soothe or speak words of comfort or sympathy; no heart to share with her the anguish of that awful hour. There is no human testimony to show what her condition mentally was in those last hours, or in what manner, or from what immediate cause she died. If she died by her own hands, then no further proof of her mental derangement is wanting. Several years ago, under the pressure of poor health, with the loss of friends, she showed partial insanity or aberration of mind, which, no doubt, led her mind in a mysterious direction, not comprehended by herself after the shadow had passed off. I have referred to her condition of mind, or the signs of temporary mental derangement, the probable result of severe mental labor, combined with physical and nervous debility. I have not referred to this, her mental condition of mind, to heap censure upon those who dealt with her in her trouble on the Hill, making them appear more culpable in this matter. Gladly I would have avoided this, but duty to the character of the innoceut dead forbids that I should pass over it in silence. As far as the responsibility of the actors in this cruel affair is concerned, I would willingly admit that she was rationally guilty of all she had been charged with, in as aggravated a form as those who have been interested to exculpate the actors from blame, by magnifying her misdeeds, have attempted to fix it, and there leave it with the sound judg­ ment and intelligence of every lover of justice, mercy, aud forbearance, to say whether, after the proof of her good character aud standing through twenty-two years, spent in virtue’s path, aud after a prompt confession of 'the wrong, aud full restoration, those who had a knowledge of the state of mind to which their rigid examination and the consciousness of the act had reduced her, were not responsible and censurable for the lack of feel­ ing and fatal indifference 'that were manifested. I bad almost forgotten to take notice of the charge brought agaiust Louise of having in her possession a skeletou key. Dr. T. says: “ For three years she had kept a skeleton key, opening all of the students’ rooms.” I have no knowledge that eitherhe or any one connected with the institution ever stated that she ever used this key for any purpose whatever. . Still, ftoin this fact being made so prominent, the public might infer that she had done so ; and it seems that it was so intended that the public should so under­ stand it. Professor Kobinson does not say,‘as T. does, “ opening all the students’ rooms,” but “ that she had in her possession, for two years, �88 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. a false key, which would open most of the students’ room in the college.” Louise, jn her last testimony, says: “A skeleton key, given me years ago, I had, that looked as though I might have used it wrongfully. God knows my heart, I never did.” To her sister she writes: “ You know the skeleton key I have long had, — that told against me ; but after all I do not think they believed I opened rooms with it, for the purpose of taking out things. I certainly never did.’’ It appears evident that, while they were accusing her of taking everything that had been lost through the term (as she writes), they accused her of opening students’ rooms with it, for the purpose of taking out things. Or what does she mean by saying, “But after all,” etc.? (after they did ac­ cuse her of using it for the purpose of taking things, and tried to impress upon her mind that they believed it.) But she still thought that they did not really believe their own accusation true. I have before me what the receiver certifies to be a true copy of a letter from Professor Robinson, of the date, and from which I have made some extracts. I will now quote further from this letter, and let the reader judge of the truth and the logic therein expressed : “ With reference to the sad case of Miss Greene, and the reports circulated about Mr. Torsey, let me say, first, that Mr. T. is no more implicated in the matter than the other members of the faculty, and if there were any blame, it ought to fall equally on us all.” (Well, if R. wishes to say to the public that brother-in-law Torsey’s standing and influence is worth more than all the rest of this fac■ ulty, and they wish to shoulder equal shares of his load, so be it.) I can only say, it may look rather- hard for Mrs. Grover, one of the faculty, who said at the close.of that faculty meeting: “ That was the first time that she had heard the particulars. I would have been glad to have befriended her if I had known it.” Was this fair or just to Mrs. Grover, who had nothing to do in the matter, and did not a week after know the particulars? Was it fair to say that she was equally and, as much to blame as Miss Case, who did all she could to accuse, convict, and impress -the crime on my poor child, and left her alone the night before she left? R. further says: “But on reviewing the matter, even in the light of the sad result, I can find noth­ ing worthy of blame. Had we Imown that she would have taken her own life, we might, although we had no lawful right to do so without a warrant from a justice, have put her in close confinement; but even then, if she had determined to commit suicide, she could have found some way to accom­ plish her purpose.” Is this sound logic — rational argument—or is it sophistry ? It seems to me the learned professor must have presumed much on the simple credulity of the person addressed to advance such ideas to I 1 * �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN.. J. 89 make his case appear justifiable. It is an argument Letter adapted to im­ pose on female credulity than to meet the gaze of a reasoning public. Where is the school-boy, so dull and void of the power of invention, that could not devise some means to provide for the safety of a feeble, distract­ ed woman, only for a few hours, without resorting to a justice warrant? But even that course would have merit, rather than suffer her to stray away to wandering or to death. And who would think of quibbling on “ lairful rights” in such an emergency? “In the light of the sad result” we are told that had they known she would have taken her own life, they could not have done differently, could not have prevented it. Is this faculty willing to proclaim that to the world, to the fathers and mothers of this State, to those who send their children there? Is that what you mean when, in your catalogue, you say, “ Parents may feel assured that their sons and daugh­ ters will find here a safe and pleasant home”? I put this question square to you, Mr. Robinson: Were this your child, and our.situations reversed, would you, sir, be satisfied, after I bad known and’ taught your child for five years, as you have mine, to have me proclaim to you that had I known your child would have wandered far away and died, and her remains have wasted away before you had found her; and when you had gathered up her bones, and, in great sorrow and anguish, bad laid them in the grave, and life had become dreaiy and tiresome on account of the loss of your dear one, would you be satisfied for me to proclaim : “ Had I known all before, I could not have done anything differently,’done anything to have prevent­ ed so awful a result ” ? You would then see your miserable, contemptible logic in its true light, and would be ashamed of it. Are this faculty, who publicly announce the ability and talent, the intellectual capacity, to edu­ cate and give moral tone to the character of the youth of our State, pre­ pared to acknowledge to the public .that they did not possess the power of mind, the intellectual energy, the means sufficient, to have invented, organ­ ized, and put in operation some plan to have saved my child, if they had known the sad result of their neglect? — that they could not have listened to the proposition and advice of Miss Reed and the desire of Chestilia to follow her ? That, in all probability, would have saved her. Professor R.’s argument is this to the parents who send their children to that school: “ If they get into trouble, and are driven to despair by their own acts or ours, and we know they intend to commit suicide, we can invent no means 'to prevent them.” The extract I have quoted was doubtless meant for the private ear, to be breathed from private to private, till the circle partbok of a public nature. I place this acknowledgment before the public. If it bo true, the faculty have the benefit of it; if false, I am not responsible for it. �90 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. But it shows my position well taken and sustained, that my daughter could and ought to have been saved. The idea is preposterous that she could not have been safely detained on the Hill till I 'could have been sent for. Or, if Mr. Hamman had been advised, or, perhaps I ought to say, permit­ ted, to follow her at the time he said he would, I think she would have been saved. From the fact that R. says they could not have detained her with­ out a warrant, it is evident they had withdrawn all control over her, and “ practically ” expelled her from the school. Only nine days before this she asked leave, to go up to Chestina’s room in the evening, to see her mother and do some necessary copying, and it was refused her by Miss Case, when she knew her mother was there. The poor girl came running up the next morning, before she left, to explain why she did not come up the evening before, as her mother wished. This was the last time her mother ever saw her, and that writing she wanted her to copy will remain undone forever, as it was so faded that no one could make it out but her. They then could and did control her. But nine days after Torsey makes his miserable excuse. Robinson, in that letter, continues : “ She said that she could not remain on the Hill. She knew that it was impossible to keep the matter from the students. No intimation was given her that she must leave the school, that she could not graduate; but, on the contrary, Mr. Torsey expressly said to her that if she left, it would not be on account of any action of the faculty, but of her own choice.” Mr. Robinson was present in that faculty meeting and knows that Mr. T., in giving us an account of hei’ leaving, did not state it as he has here. He heard Torsey tell us thp.t he advised hey to go home. Will he, R. or T., say, that if L. had complied with this advice, and gone home, they expected her to come back and graduate? Robinson also heard Dr. T. distinctly tell us that L. said she could not go home ; that she could not meet her folks. Why was she saying this to Torsey if he had given her no inti­ mation about leaving, and T.’s telling us, that he told L. if she did go away he would hold her diploma and at the end of a certain time she could write him, and, if she did satisfy him that she had lived a good honest life, he would send her diploma to her? He, R., knows that he has misrepresented what Torsey told us; also he has misrepresented what L. says about the clothing, in those letters R. had seen. Hear her: “ If I could have had an opportunity to retrieve the past on the Hill; ” which shows that she desired an opportunity that was denied her. “ ‘ Dr. Torsey informed me* this morning that I had better leave to-day, ‘ not expulsion,’ he said ; ‘ we won’t call it that, but I advise you to go home.’ ” And when Chestina asked him if she could not have stayed and graduated, hear’ his answer’: �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. M 91 “ Well, no; it would not have been best for her to have gone on to the stage.” It was all fixed in his mind that she should not graduate; and he speaks of it as a thing that had passed; “ have been,” in the past tense, is his answer to her sister. He had determined the case in his mind, but smooths it down a little to C., and says, “ It would not have been best; ” his determination is clearly seen in this answer to Chestina. Miss Reed says Dr. T., told me that when he asked L. what she proposed to do, she replied, “ I want it kept from the school; stay, and graduate.” Robinson overlooks all those statements, and in the early part of this letter says, “ Miss Greene acknowledged that she had taken several articles that did not belong to her; also that she had taken money.” He has evidently con­ nected the clothing and money together, so as to give the person addressed to understand, that she confessed that she had stolen several articles as well as the money. If he intended to state facts, why did he not say she had lost many things in the wash, and said she took those in their stead? In her letter, she says, “ When I came to the college I brought many un­ marked articles of clothing, some new ones, and when I missed things from the wash I took others, unmarked, from the table, and used them. But if my own had not come by the close of the term, I should have left those where I found them, in the wash.” This letter R. heard read in that faculty meeting. She further says, in the letter’ to her sister, “For every garment I had.taken, I had lost one in the wash, and put those on in their stead. I had no intention of stealing them.” The reader can but see the gross injustice done her in this professor’s statement. I have already sufficiently shown that, “ her own choice,” of which R. speaks, was similar to the choice she had years before of remaining in Dr. T.’s house, after he had said, “ Miss Greene, you will please leave the house 1 ” Prof. R. further says, “ As soon as Dr. T. learned that she had gone contrary to her promise without the knowl­ edge of her sister, he immediately sent a student with the sister to Mr. Greene to inform him of the circumstances and to urge him to meet Louise at Lewiston. He had no idea, nor any one of the faculty, that she would take her life.” I have already shown, by Dr. T.’s own letter to me, that L. never made the promise here stated. How “ immediately ” a student with the sister was sent to mo may be seen by reference to the sworn statement of that sister. Louise left in the morning stage and reached Lewiston by noon, and it was six at night before this team started to notify me, although Miss Reed and Chestina urged immediate action, and stated plainly to Torsey that it was their belief that she would destroy herself be­ fore night. A wilful misrepresentation by R. Would he have called, fl’om ten in the morning until six at night, or from noon until six, immediately, if �92 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. this was his child, and then sent twenty-five miles to me, which is thirtyfive miles from Lewiston, making sixty to be travelled by private team be­ fore I could get to where they knew she had gone, when twenty-fire miles by team would have taken them to Lewiston ? A more miserable arrange. ment could not have been thought of. Mr. Robinson, wofully misrepre­ sents “ facts,” when he says, Torsey immediately sent a student with the sister to Mr. Greene to inform him of the circumstances, and to urge him to meet Louise at Lewiston. I hold the letter (sent by Mr. Chandler the student, who came home with Chestina) in my hand. There is not a word of information contained in that letter as to where Louise had gone, or a word of advice as to what I could or had better do to try to save, or re­ cover her; the word Lewiston is not written in that letter, neither did Mr. Chandler or Chestina bring or deliver any word from Dr. Torsey as to when or what we had better do, or that we had better do anything to try to save or recover her. The whole gist of that letter was this, — I in that long talk with L. urged her to go to Jesus, to you, and to her mother, and tell you all, and that you would forgive her; and that Chestina will make explanations and give information concerning Louise. Had Chestina and Hamman, or some other persons been immediately sent to Lewiston, she very likely would have been found at the Elm House, and been saved. Or, had a team been sent forthwith to me, I might have arrived in the vicinity of Lewiston in season to have discovered and saved her. This matter of accusation commenced on Monday the 21st; and through to the close my daughter was in the deepest trouble and excitement; and . not until Wednesday, in the middle hours of that night, was I notified. She was accused on Monday, tried on Tuesday, sentenced on Wednesday morning, and advised to leave (expelled, they so understood it) and go home ; and before I was notified of any trouble, on the third day, perhaps, her troubled spirit was in eternity. Is there any wonder that I feel aggrieved? — that tears flow thick and fast as I write ? Is there not a cause ? I have had. four daughters for a longer or shorter period at that institution, at about fifteen hundred dollars’ expense. Setting aside all claims, and feelings, and rights, even of hu­ manity (religion should not be named here, for it would be a disgrace to speak of it in connection with this whole transaction), would not common civility, the honor and respect due from man to man, lead me to expect, had it been my dog, instead of my child, that I should be notified before he was unceremoniously kicked from that institution ? , I placed her there under their promise that she should there find a “ safe and pleasant home.” I had a right to expect that those under whose com JI I j 1 ii �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 93 trol I had placed er, would be her guardians, protectors, and friends; and although “ of age,” that their protecting care would not be withdrawn until they bad returned her, or notified me, and I had time to have reached her. I was responsible, and they looked to me for her expenses. What­ ever might have been her crime, their responsibility and obligations would have been increased. She should have had time to have consulted her friends, and a full investigation had, before any intimation was given her as to what the result would be about graduating. They were bound by every consideration to extend to her paternal care and protection. Where, among my readers, is the parent or guardian, whose ward or off­ spring should leave his premises, as my daughter left Kent’s Hill, self­ disrobed of everything of seeming value in life, — self-disrobed, as it were, for the shrine of death, — who would wait inidlc unconcern and indifference for eight long hours before moving in any direction for the safety of the wanderer, and then move in such direction that sixty miles should lie between the loved one in peril and him who might seek to be the pre­ server ? What parent would not have immediately followed in the shortest direction, to save from so terrible a fate, if possible ? Would doubts of any parent, in such a case, influence indecision and delay? Should a child of any parent fall into the hands of a stranger for only a few days, in such a case, and he should not look after her safety, should you not consider him recreant to duty, and false to the principles of humanity? Can you think of any sect of people anywhere, civil or otherwise, where she would have fared any worse than she did at this religious institution ? It does seem remarkable and strange, while students were so forcibly impressed with the idea that L. would destroy herself, that ’Dr. T., or as R. says, an}' of the faculty, should have no such idea! Appearances were convincing to students, and their logic was correct. A portion of the faculty, with the best of opportunities of judging and forming a correct opinion, discovered nothing convincing, to excite suspicion; no idea, no fears of such a result. Before Prof. R. closes this letter, he says: “ I know a great many false reports have been circulated about Dr. Torsey, but those who know Dr. T. will not believe them. I am glad that you still feel an interest in the reputation of the school, and of your old teachers, and that you wish to correct, as far as you may, these false reports.” Then this is the object of your long string of statements, Mr. R., that you fear for the reputation of the school, and Dr. Torsey’s, that you put forth such wretched misrepresentations and call them facts I How many important facts have you suppressed to damage my daugh­ ter’s side of the case, and to clear the faculty? He says, “ Miss Greene �94 ■ THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. acknowledged that she had taken several articles that did not belong to her." But he does not give her the benefit of the simple explanation, that they were taken from the wash, or that she had lost four times as many articles. Others quote from her letters to show her guilt and crime, with­ out a word of explanation. Is this fair or just? They adopt these quotations as truth, to throw the blame all on her, and to exonerate the faculty, without giving her the benefit of her own dying explanation. And here I would say, that both law and sound reason will forbid those who quote from her confession, in those letters, and adopt as true such portions as they choose ; they are estopped in denying the truth of the whole. Prof. R. closes his epistle to his correspondent as follows, — “ God, who knows our hearts, knows that we have no feeling of harsh­ ness or severity towards Louise, nor of vindictiveness towards her friends. Our feelings were all pity and sympathy for her, and only pity for her unhappy friends.” Thus attempting to give force to those remarkable • “facts” which he had stated, by clinching them in the name of religion and Almighty God. The reader will judge of the pity and sympathy that were manifested, from the stern facts which transpired at the time. Was there much pity and sympathy manifested, after every means, seemingly, had been em­ ployed, to bring her mind to believe she had sunk to rise no more, — that she had committed a heinous offence, that could never be forgiven by God or man, — to leave her in her own room alone, through that solitary night, to pace it in lonely wakefulness till morn, forsaken, as it seemed to her, by God and man? “I tried to read my Bible last night,” she says, “but I couldn’t. I don’t believe I shall ever pray again, except to say ‘ Father, forgive me ; ’ and he will not hear. The Saviour is an iron door, I think, to me ; shut, bolted.” Was it strange, in her bewildered and excited state of mind, if the logical powers of those in whose opinion she had been taught to confide had been exerted to impress on her mind the enormity of her crime, that this idea should take possession of her deranged mind? While she was thus walking her room alone, could those who, the day previous, had investigated, even to the linen on ‘her body, to find the mark, and must know the deplorable state of her mind, rest in quiet slumber, and call this sympathy and pity ? Who would crave such ? “ Mi-. Schwaglerl said to me this morning, ‘ Remember your Saviour.’ I have been saying it over all the way here.” The only thing, it would appear, that had been said to her, which she A u 1 il r fl �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 95 could “ say over,” remember, or repeat, It was the only thing said to her for which she desired to return thanks. “ I thank him for that, always. Mary Chapman, you tell him so.” With all the pity and sympathy in their hearts, of which R. speaks, 57010 there no kind words spoken by any of the faculty to soothe and comfort her, which in her mind she could say over in her desponding moments while on this solitary travel ? No kind words spoken by them in their pity and deep sympathy worthy of her last thanks? Would she have forgotten them, and remembered Mr. Schwaglerl’s only, had such been spoken-? Yet she complains not, nor speaks ill of any one. She was not in the habit of so doing. Her disposition was not to rail, or find fault with others. As a school-mate of hers writes, under date of Oct. 25, 18GG : — “ It seems as though words were a mockery, when speaking of our sister Louise, and the wrongs done her. I never heard her speak ill of any one but Dr. Torsey. Oh! if she could have known what a wrong he would have done her, how much more she would have disliked him! ” It is possible Prof. R. might be right, asserting as a “ fact,” that he had no feelings but pity and sympathy for Louise; but how he could assert understandingly, and have the assurance to call his Maker to witness the truth of assertions respecting the feelings of others, is not so easy to understand. He was not present at that very “ private investigation,” or at that long conversation T. had with Louise the morning she left. Had he been present at those conversations and investigations, he could better have judged their feelings and treatment of her; but then it would have been presumptive to have asserted positively, with an appeal to God for the truth of his statement. If their feelings were all pity and sympathy, then I must say, they had a strange way of showing it. I cannot believe his assertions, neither do others. A correspondent, writing from Kent’s Hill under date of Dec. 31, 1866, among other things, writes as follows: — “ I have buried those that were dear as life, and it was hard to give them up, and consign them to the silent grave ; but God took them in his own time, and I have no right to murmur. When we have affliction come upon us in an aggravated form., it is hard to reconcile our minds to it. How could I? ‘ Woe unto them by whom offence cometh.’ “ My mind is the same now that it ever has been, with regard to your daughter; that is, she was shamefully wronged by those that should have been her friends in the hour of trial. If her friends had all been as truo as Miss Reed, there would have been no trouble, I think. Although I was �96 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. not personally acquainted with your daughter, I have ever heard her spoken of in the highest terms, until she left the Hill.” This was not an isolated expression of opinion among those who were conversant witli affairs on Kent’s Hill at that time. In a letter, dated Jan. G, 1867, I find the following expressions ; — “ I don’t care what Mrs. Daggett says, I know the students all loved Louise, — all that knew her; and the old students that were at the Hill last Exhibition, did not enjoy themselves one bit, they felt so bad about her; and many of them only stayed one night at the Hill. I don’t wonder that you think so hard of the teachers. If it were me, I should be more bitter than you are. I am not afraid to tell any one that I blame them ; not even Dr. Torsey himself.” In no communication that I had seen, either from students, or from any person living on Kent’s Hill, or from any of the faculty, directed to me or to any other person during those five years, was one word written against the character of Louise previous to that sad affair. On the 20th of March, 18G7, Torsey wrote to another person, in which he puts in an insinuating slur about a report he says was in circulation about L. I, or the person written to, have not, from that day to the present, heard a sound from any other person about the report he named. This is the only solitary ease where a word even of insinuation against her character, up to the present time, have I seen written; or heard a word spoken against her character previous to the last fatal affair. This foreshadows what Torsey may yet attempt to do. As fear or favoritism is I think the ruling passion on Kent’s Hill, it will be readily perceived, that while surrounded by this influence, and the sub­ ordinate position, and the danger of giving offence, many would naturally hesitate, before voluntarily giving expression to their real, convictions. Yet, I find all the expressions of opinions that have been ventured, as far as I know, coming from students, with one or two exceptions, blame Torsey and the others that had to do with her in that affair; meaning also to except that committee of students’ actions, and those who really did indorse them. And here I ought to say, that a large portion of the old students who knew L. so well, had left the school, and many new and young students had taken their places. And, als.o, I do know, that some of the old students did not attend chapel exercises on May 7th, the night that those resolutions were adopted. This may have been one of the causes of Dr. Torsey’s “ pimps and 0 ( 4 j ! L = = �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. * spies ” attack on Miss Reed, and his close watch after, and to see the com­ munications she received from me. In answer to a request of the town clerk of Peru, for a statement of Louise’s character, as she understood it to be at that school, previous to this last affair, for publication, one of her class writes as follows, under ,te of Dec. 21, 1866 : ” — “ I would gladly comply with your request, if it would in any tray benefit our departed class-mate; and I am willing to do much to alleviate the sorrows which oppress her bereaved parents. Such a statement as yon propose may accomplish the latter, and it may seem a trivial act compara­ tively in behalf of her I loved; yet I must refuse, at the risk of being misunderstood by so doing. Such a publicity cannot benefit poor Louise, and may reflect upon the officers and institution at Kent’s Hill.” She was not requested to give a statement of good or bad character, but such as she understood it to be. If that statement had been bad, it would not have alleviated our sorrow, and would it have reflected upon the officers and institution? We have here by inference that it must have been a statement of her good character. I would remind this class-mate of that sentiment, “ Truth crushed to earth will rise again.” I will now notice how that “ pity for her unhappy friends,” of which Robinson writes, was manifested. While I was searching for our lost / child, overwhelmed with trouble, anguish of mind, and awful -suspense, absent from my family most of the time, which on account of this terrible shock were in a condition to need all my care and attention, all sorts of reports were in circulation, and continually reaching my ears, of what Louise had done, and what had been said about her at Kent’s Hill, — all tending to disturb, distress, and harass my almost distracted mind, and that of my family. To know the truth of one of the reports in circulation, I wrote to Dr. T. as follows: — “ Peru, June 27, 18GG. “ Dr. Torset : Sir, — Nearly five weeks spent in the search,—I can find no reliable trace of her, our dear lost one. Is it a fact that Louise has all the way along, ever since she first came to your school, been thieving? Tell us all, I beg of you. It conics to us that you have said so. “ Yours respectfully, Jonas Greene.” The reader will notice that I did not ask him what he had said, but begged of him to tell us all the facts relative to her thieving. To this letter I received the following answer: — 7 �98 • f*" THE CROWN WON’ BUT NOT WORN. “ Kents Hill, June 30, 186G. Mr. Greene, — I have not made the statement you name in your letter. Have you directly or indirectly said we expelled Louise from the school ? Have you in substance said, our reason for expelling her was because she would not join the church? Have you said that her taking clothing, etc., was named to the school at prayers, or at the,table? Have you ever denied ' she took money? Have you said she took but two or three articles of clothing in exchange for what she had lost? Have you said that any of the officers of the institution have sanctioned the,exchange of clothing in lhe way you say Louise exchanged? Such reports as these may oblige us to state the facts publicly.” [After stating the charges against L., which appear in an extract in the first part of this work, he closes as follows “She was not expelled, and no intimation was given to her that she would be. The matter was never alluded to before the school. “Yours truly, • “H. P. Torsey.” He does not answer my one simple question, but catechises me in a string of half a dozen interrogatories, clinching them with a threat to make the matter public, in order (as I believed) to frighten me into silence. He did not answer my question (as it is seen by the mass of evidence herein pre­ sented),, as he should and could have done in four words, ‘ No, she has not." But here can plainly be seen, this sly, low, cunning, wiry, wicked man, in his true light. He takes this opportunity (in my greatest trial, weighed down almost in despair, tired and weak in body and mind) to make the most he could of this_ circumstance, and leaves it open for me to infer that he could say so (that she had been thieving all along), if I pro­ voked him. I commenced to answer this very pitying and sympathizing letter; but some new information caused me to leave home again, in a hurry, to continue my search, and I did not finish it. When I returned home, I found another of those missives, directed by that feeling of pity of which Prof. R. speaks, which reads as follows : — “ Kent's Hill, July 11, 18G6. “Mr. Greene,— Is it true that you told Mr. White, of Buckfield, that Louise simply exchanged clothes, — her case brought before the school,— she charged with falsehood, and expelled at once ? And what story did your wife report at Mr. Perly’s, at Livermore? If you are circulating such reports, it seems to me unfortunate to Louise and yourself. You know she . stole money, and can find no one that will tell you I ever brought the ' �TITE CROWN WON BUT KOT WOBN. ■ / 99 matter before the school. If you do not think any of these things against L. are true, you can have all these and other matters pertaining to her character, or your relation to this affair, legally established or refuted, by bringing a case of libel or slander, followed on our part by a prosecution for malicious prosecution and for slander. “ Yours, “ H. P. Torset.” In former times, when my purse was open to the claims of that institu­ tion, letters came from him to my address with some title, as is the custom of the day ; but these came simply to “Jonas Greene,” — pity having dis­ robed my name of even Mr. prefixed. At that time the accusations against L. had been made as public as was the fact of her disappearance ; and they were exaggerated as they floated from car to ear, or were magnified when first set afloat. To-these were added in their circulation base scandal, vile insinuations, at which the very dust of my injured daughter might blush. This being the case, I could not conceive how the circulation of such re" ports as T. named, whether true or false, could be any more unfortunate to L., unless it was meant that I should understand that there was something worse to bring to the public ear than had been put in circulation by private tongues. This hinting at, advising, or threatening a double lawsuit, this talk about libels, prosecutions, and slander, while with aching head and heart I was hunting day and night for our loved child, whose remains lay decom­ posing in the lonely forest, did not sound to me at that time much like the sympatliizing voice of 4 pitying friend. Such friends you, kind reader, under like circumstances, would desire to be few and far between. The second and last letter which I have written to Dr. T., was in answer to the two which I have noticed, and is as follows : — “ Peru, August 29, 1866. “Dr. Torset: Sir,—Your refusal to answer the one question I asked you, in my letter of June 27, puts me under no obligation to answer your various questions of the 30th of June. My whole time having been spent, from Maj- 2-1 to the 1st of July, in search of our dear lost one, I had no time to properly answer 'it until I received yours of July 11. The spirit and address of those letters were such, coming to me in such an awful state of mind, and under such terrible trouble. — the terribly distresseel state of my whole family, the pressing care of my family after being absent from them so long, — under such circumstances, I did not feel disposed to an­ swer them then. �100 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. “ I have not said you expelled her because she would not join the church; never have said that the taking of clothing was named to her at prayers or • at the table; have never denied her taking money; have never named the number of articles she took in exchange. I know nothing about the officers of your school sanctioning the exchange of clothing, except what a student told me. I have said what he told me. I never told Mr. White, of Buckfield,'what you asked me if I did. You say she was not expelled. What did you say to her about leaving the school? Did you, or did you not tell Louise that she had better leave that day (May 23), and go home? An answer is requested. “ Yours respectfully, “ Jonas Greene.” r* He (T.) has never answered this question ; its truth he wishes to evade. I have taken copies of every letter I have written him, at the time, and since he turned her out of his house, and the reader can see how much cause, if any, I have given him, that he should write me those insulting letters, before named. They can judge as well as I, for I have laid before’ the public all and eveiy word I have written him ; and you can but bear witness that I have held my temper well, and written him respectfully. I desired to give him no cause, but to see how far he, with his malignity, would go. I received but one piore letter from him, which was dated Oc­ tober 29, 18G6, after .her remains were found, — his logic false, that she was • going into the factory, running away, or going to other bad places, as has been insinuated. “Mr. Greene,—You'and I are to face each other at the judgment-day. It will then be known who is responsible for Louise’s awful death. It will then be known who'is wrong and who has been wronged. In view of that day I again say, I in no way referred to the matter before the school in her presence or absence, nor named it to individuals. When Miss Case named the matter to me, I requested her to say nothing of it. I did not tell L. she could not graduate. I told her the trustees voted the diplomas, and I would be her friend in the matter. I spoke only of any time of her leav­ ing when she had decided to go home that day. 'She was not willing to see you here. I had no unkind -feeling towards'her; nothing but deep sorrow at what had occurred) “ Yours, “H. P. Torsey.” ■ �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 101 Whether this was intended as his letter of condolence to me, I am un nle to say; but it does look more like an attempt to acquit himself from ■ zlame, by hasp insinuations, and his denials of what all the circumstances and surroundings, with her written declarations, and other evidences, sus­ tain, than sympathy for the sad and final result. This is his third written denial to me that he had not referred to the matter before the school, when I had never accused him of so doing, and had written him so. “ I did not tell L. she could not graduate.” What difference did it make to her whether he told her she was expelled, or that he said, “We won’t call it expulsion; but I advise you to go home to-day.” (A slimsy dodge, in­ deed.) He here says, “I told her the trustees voted the diplomas, and I would be her friend.” As much as to say, I will be her friend to try to obtain from the trustees her diploma. When he distinctly told us, in that faculty meeting, that “ if she did go away, I would hold her diploma. She could write me in six months, or a year, and if she did then satisfy me of her good behavior, or good conduct, he would send her diploma to her.” There was no trouble then but what he could do as he pleased with her diploma (which she knew was about made out before she left), which no doubt he holds to this day. Again he says, “ I spoke only of any time of her leaving when she had decided to go home that day.” If this be true, why did he tell and repeat over again and again in that faculty meeting, that she, all in tears, told him (at his request or advice to go home) she could not go home. She could not meet her parents. As to his assertion that he had no unkind feelings towards her, nothing but deep sorrow, with all the evidence of his prejudice and conduct towards her for the last two years which she remained on the Hill, herein produced, I will leave an intelligent reading public to judge of the correctness of his assertions. HER PIETY DOUBTED. Dr. T. says that he had lost confidence in her religious character. If that is so, I can only say that it appears by the memorandum in her diary, her letters, and what she had told us, that she long since came to a worse conclusion as to his Christian character. She had long believed him de­ ceptive and void of true Christian piety. His opinion might be founded on prejudice, as I have already shown that it existed. A school-mate writes to-Louise, April 29, 1865, and among other things says: “ The gist of the whole matter is, Dr. Torsey has found out that you are shrewder than he ; therefore you can expect but little forbearance from the teachers. The whole course of reasoning, when sifted down, resolves �102 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. itself into that.” In speaking of the matter of religion, another school­ mate writes: “ I am glad you spoke freely with the venerable doctor. How much did he hear from others? I read that part of your letter to my dear friend, Miss G. She said she thought interfering with religion most too much for him to attend to, especially on hearing her say she has taught fifteen years, and had never heard of such school discipline.” None but God knows the depth of piety in the heart of Dr. T. or my daughter. We can judge of the tree only by its fruit. The first evidence we have of her religious tendency, and Christian faith and hope, is a letter dated at Kent’s Hill, May 4, 1862, addressed to her “ dear mother,” in which she speaks of the death of her teacher, Prof. Scott, in the most touching terms, as an excellent man, a kind teacher, who had suddenly passed away. She there unfolds to her mother, that she had for a long time tried to love and serve God ; had not had strength to publicly proclaim the fact; but that she then had resolved to bear the cross. “I love God” (she says), “and know that he will give me strength to do my duty, aud lean on Jesus, and pray God to deliver me from temptation, and keep me from evil; and may I spend my days in his service.” She afterward wrote her mother, asking her if she should join the class or speak in meeting, when she did not feel it a duty to do so. She said the}' tell her there that she could not be a Christian without she did so. Her mother wrote her that she alone was accountable to her God for the performance of such duties; and it was uot for her, or auy of the teachers, or Dr. Torsey, to dictate to her what these duties should be. The hard things which I ha^e heretofore stated that some of the faculty had said to her, had so wounded her feelings that she could not consistently go to social meetings and take a part in them on the Hill. She said she had no freedom in them. At the first of the term, in December, 1865, hei' sisteiEstelle went to the school, and was boarding with Louise in the Packard house. This was soon after Estelle had made a profession of religion. As Estelle was getting ready to go to the first class-meeting for the term, she said to Louise, “ Are you not going to meeting?” L. said, “ I cannot go,” and began to weep. She afterward told Estelle that the reason -was that it was said by some of the faculty, she went to gain the regards of a certain gentleman; and that one of them had said it made him mad to see her at class-meeting after she had said “ darned fool; ” or at least she had been told that it was so. But still they were finding fault with her because she did not go to their meetings more. On the 23d of December, 1866, Louise and Estelle were sent for in the night to come home, which they did on the 2 'th, in season to witness the death of their youngest brother, seven & * �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. f 103 years old. He was buried on the 27th; he died the 25th. In Louise’s memoranda I find, December 25, 1865, this entry: “At a piiirter past three, A. M., God let him go, our dear mother’s Christmas gift, to God. Mother has quite given up, and seems unlike her own brave self. 27th. We all went to prayer-meeting, and God there took away my cross. I had always dreaded speaking in meeting. To-night, for the first time, I .could not wait till it came my turn, till the minister was done. A new and joy­ ful state of mind for me, truly ! I stayed with Abby to-night, and for the first time found strength to pray aloud. How I dread going back to K. IL, where now I cannot consistently go to social meetings and be an actor therein! I’m resolved to be an active Christian, out of meetings, with God’s help.” Why she speaks of God’s letting him go, was because he in his last hours suffered greatly, breathing so he could be heard all over the house, and it was relief to us when his suffering was over. That this record is true, as far as Mrs. Newton is mentioned, I will let her testify. “Peru, J/arc7i 15, 1867. “ I, Abby G. Newton, wife of W. S. Newton, who live close to Mr. Greene, hereby certify that Miss M. Louise Greene stopped ovei' night with me on the 27th or 28th of December, 1865, my husband being absent. She (L.) read in the Bible, and then prayed with me, and talked about a Christian life and the future state. Iler talk was of a high order, coming from a gifted mind. It made a lasting impression on my mind. This was the last time that I saw' her. . “ Abby G. Newton.” December 28th she has this entry: “ To-morrow we go; and then from morning till night mother will be all alone.” I did go with her and Estelle, on the 29th, to the Hill, and poor Louise never returned. December 30th she has the record : “ Father went home this morning, but not until he knelt down and prayed with me. The first prayer I ever heard him make; the first prayer he ever heard me make. We shall not forget them.” This was all true ; she prayed when I was done. “ December 31, Sunday. Sermon, P. M., on recognition of friends in heaven, Matthew’ viii. 11, by Rev. John Caldwell, of Hallowell. Every word seemed meant for me. I could not re­ frain from tears. It stirred up nobler thoughts than I believed myself capable of thinking.” As all her writings of which we have any knowledge or means of know­ ing the facts therein written we know to be true, we have good reason to believe that all her other writings are equally true. As there seems to bo �104 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. a disposition manifested by her accusers at the Hill to attack her at every point, I have felt compelled to make it clear and plain that her memoran­ da and her other writings were reliable, and that she possessed the power of memory to quote verbatim the language which she had recently heard. In a lengthy letter of several sheets, written to her mother, we have the substance of that beautiful sermon, referred to before, of December 31. In quotations written out from memory, in her copy-book, she has almost en­ tire lectures written from memory after she had returned from the place where they were delivered. In her other writings she often speaks of things ' as they transpired at Kent’s Hill. She there tells of a long interview and lecture from Dr. T., which I have laid before my readers, and we believe every word of it correct and true in substance. I believe the same of her last letter. I have before alluded to Dr. T.’s telling us that L. said we were hard, proud, and unforgiving, especially her mother. I have no means of knowing the truth of this statement of the doctor, but must repeat, if true, it shows conclusively to me that her mind was in a bewildered state. No mother and daughter ever exercised towards each other more intimate confi­ dence, love, and kindness than did they. I will give a letter, written by L. to her mother, to show, in a measure, her feelings. It was written at Kent’s Hill, December 23, 1865, the evening before the messenger arrived to bring them home on account of the dangerous illness of her brother: — o “ Saturday Evening, December 23. “ Mr darling Mother, —We had a letter from Chestina to-night, and after reading it I felt like, writing to you. No mail can go till Mon­ day. How I wish it could reach you to-night! Estelle has just gone to class-meeting. I warrant you she won’t forget the home friends. Wilma wrote us she had become interested in religious matters. She is young, but I think -will be decided. Don’t it rejoice your heart, mother, to see them all coming into the fold, to the tender arms of the Good Shepherd? If ours could become a united religious family I think it would help, in a measure, to do away with the difference so common among lots of children of nearly the same age. When I spoke just now about the children’s com­ ing into the fold, I could not help thinking that maybe the Good Shepherd would be wanting some of them up yonder, — would be taking them indeed and in truth to his fold. Ours has been an unbroken family, but it cannot be always so ; and if one must go, who better than the little one, the sin­ less, for ‘ Of such is the kingdom of Heaven ’ ? Dear mother; you would not be unreconciled, unconsolable, if what we all fear shall happen? I have thought much about George Henry lately, and it seems to me he is I J * f I �THE CROW’K WOK BUT KOT WORK. /- 105 going. I seem to have him constantly in mind, and more especially, with­ in a few days, him and you. •! don’t know but I worry about you more than I do about him. Are not you tiring yourself all out, mother, and pre­ paring another sick-bed ? Are there none to whose care you can trust him, at least, a part of the timb? Remember, mother, you cannot endure all that you once could. You must see yourself that you are by no means as strong now as y<Ju used to be. Your day of hard work is done; you have had more than your share of it always. Now let the rest take their turn. Of course you cannot lay aside anxiety, but the work, the actual care of the child, should fall partly into other hands. Are not the people ready and willing? Won’t they feel — or, rather, how will they feel if you won’t let any of them do anything? Couldn’t you feel willing, any way, to let at least Sabrina stay with George II. some, nights ? I don’t suppose you realize bow much you are doing, and bow tired you are getting; but by and by, when the uncertainty is ended, if not before, you will be the one needing care and medicine, if you are not careful of yourself. Do try and not do too much, mother; and don’t wear yourself out with worrying, for is he not in God’s hands, to do with him as he sees best? It seems to me that I can have perfect faith in the result; that somehow or other it will be for the best. Now, mother, won’t you try and 1 be a good girl,’ as you used to write it in your letters to me ? I hardly expect you to answer this, but wish you could write. We are getting on quite well, and mean to make things last, so we need not trouble you for things during this sickness. So don’t once think of that., I wish I could do something for you, but it seems now that the most we can do is to keep from making trouble. Now, goodby, dear, with much love from your affectionate daughter, • “• L. M. Greene.” After she had returned to college, subsequent to the death and burial of her little brother, she wrote her mother as follows: — “ Kent's Hill, Me., January 8,186^. “ Mr dear Mother, — I ought to have written home before this, and should if I had consulted my own inclinations; but work seemed to call in another direction. Though it is only a week, we are quite well settled back into our old way of life. Only study seems tenfold harder than it ever was before. I find rayself away off, thinking such strange, wild thoughts as only those who have just buried their dead can think. It seems providential that for this and the past term my studies are so few; for with the full number I could never in the world have got through. This past experience I �I 106 Illi THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. has made me fearful. I cannot help wondering what will come next. But I tiy to ‘ let the future take care of itself.* O mother, you should have been here last Sunday, and heard a real live sermon, that would have filled your whole soul with faith, and made you believe, what every, one wants to believe, in the recognition of friends in heaven. Wasn’t it strange that a sermon, especially suited to us, should have been preached to us just after our return ? I wish father had stayed over Sunday just to hear- that. It was worth coming here on purpose for. The text was from Matthew viii. 11.' [She goes on to give the substance of that sermon from recollection ; but it is too lengthy for my limits. She closes with these words:] “ I can’t help thinking of two weeks ago to-night, and it unfits me for work. Goodby, mother.. Write all who can to Louise.” I have copied these letters to show the religious tendency of her mind, and the love, confidence, and affection manifested towards her mother, and her tender solicitude for her welfare. The feelings here exhibited were ever reciprocal between her and her mother; and it is with me incredible that, in her right mind, she could drop so suddenly from her high moral standing, social and religious, so low as not only to commit a petty crime, but also to speak of that dear mother in terms of disrespect, to the very man in -whose friendship she had no confidence, and whose threats she had so long dreaded! She told her mother, in October, 1865, that she did not believe she should ever graduate. Her mother asked hei’ why she thought so. She said, “ I can’t walk straight enough to suit Dr. Torsey. He notices little things in me that he does not in other students,” and mentioned sev­ eral instances. “ They seem to be watching me all the time, and I am afraid that Torsey’s prejudice has influenced the other teachers against me.” The loss of our little son was the first inroad made by death in our fam­ ily, and it was to us all, seemingly, a sad affliction, till experience taught us that burying our friends under ordinary circumstances was compara­ tively a pleasure. This stroke of affliction hung heavily upon the mind of Louise, producing those “ strange, wild thoughts ” of which she speaks. While away from home, friends, and in combination with other circumstances and matters, the presentiment that she should never graduate, operated to bring her mind into the condition and state which I have before mentioned. It was the loss of this brother, no doubt, to which she alluded, when she said to her class, “ This good-by is a thousand times more bitter than was the laying away of my dead.” We, the surviving friends, can take up the expression and say truly that parting with her, under' the circumstances, �THE CROWN AVON BUT NOT WORN. 107 was a thousand times more bitter than was th? laying away of all our pre­ vious dead. Suppose, kind reader (if a parent), this war* your child, your daughter, your first-born, whom from infancy you had watched over; one on whom you bad bestowed your tenderest care in sickness and in health; you had watched the expansion of her mind and the development of intellect; and, with much anxiety and toil, had sought to store that mind, at home and at school, with useful knowledge. As time advanced and intellect expanded, you saw evidence of brilliant talents, and an aptness to learn ; you looked on her with pride and satisfaction, doted on her as an affectionate parent only can, and looked forward with hope to the pleasing prospect when that intellect, that active mind should become matured and shine forth in the full development of womanhood. In due time you send that daughter to a literary institution, under fair promises of safety, for the purpose of acquiring a literary education. Term after term passes, years roll round, and you find your daughter making all the advancement reasonably re­ quired or expected. As a scholar, her reputation rises as she advances, and not only keeps pace with her opportunities, but keeps in advance of them. As a scholar', the most envious dares not deny the meed of praise; as a teacher, you see her successful at every trial, loved by her pupils, loved and respected by her employers and those in superior stand­ ing ; you hear her character spoken of in the highest terms; you hear her abilities extolled, and her disposition spoken of with admiration; you see her, after years of anxiety and toil with books and problems, grappling with all the vexation and trials that lay between her and the goal of her ambition, with a zeal and earnest resolution which deserve success ; you see her diligent by day, and frequently through tho lonely night till the still hours of morning, pursuing those studies, the consummation of which is to be her final triumph; you see her progressing prosperou-ly till within twelve days of her final triumph, for which she had so long tpiled and for which you had looked with anxious mind and high hopes. All at once the curtain falls, — the dark future lies before her, all her high hopes are blasted, — her character gone, — accused ofcrime, — a close search made, and the search pursued to her sister’s room, and even to her own body; attempts are made to hold her accountable for all the petty plunder' or mistakes of the whole institution, and to impress the enormity of the crime upon her already distracted mind. No friend is notified of her situation, no friendly advice or counsel called to help her in her bewilder­ ment to explain the dark “ mystery” that shrouded her mind. Some arti­ cles of common wearing apparel are found in their room, or in her posses- < �108 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. sion, while four times the number of hers are gone. No explanation is seemingly heeded. She is adjudged guilty, and the verdict goes out to her companions, the school, and to the world. No friendly teachers call to comfort or advise her; no room-mate enters for the night her apartment. Alone in her sorrow she walks her room through the dark hours of night, her brain on fire, while her mental thoughts, her very soul seems oozing from her eyes in floods of tears. The morning dawns ; and your sorrowstricken child is visited by her tutor,—by him to whose safe-keeping you had consigned her. In a long conversation she is given to understand the pen­ alty of the acts with which she is charged, and the reality of which she had long feared. As an opiate to her troubled and distracted mind, she is told and urged to go to God, and her parents, and make great and humble confession, thus making it appear as though she had committed a great crime. She is advised to go to God for that consolation, comfort, and pardon that was denied her by man. He, Torsey, has nowhere written or said, to my knowledge, that he told her he or the faculty would forgive her. She leaves the scene of this long conversation, in which she had been advised to leave that institution, divests herself of everything valuable, writes that her heart was breaking, and wanders off alone. This is known, yet no one who has the charge of your child seems to care for, or moves to look after her safety. She is seen in her soiled Clothing, the same day,' wandering and weeping among strangers. During the three days in which these cruel acts are transpiring, you are only twenty-five miles away, yet no means are taken to notify you that your daughter was in trouble. No notice reaches you until fourteen hours after the fatal journey is taken. You make all haste to pursue her, but it is too late. No more is seen or heard ' of her till nearly five months after, when her wasted form is found in a solitary forest. Kind parent, were this your daughter, could you feel to say that “ in the light of the sad result you could find nothing worthy of blame?” If so, then I would say that in my opinion, if you had to take our place, suffer (only for one month) as much as I and my poor wife did, no person would ever after hear you trying to excuse Dr. Torsey and that faculty from all blame. I care not what your religious sentiments are, if it were your, case, — your child, —you would see and feel that a great wrong had been done her, and that those whose duty it was to care for and protect her until you were notified and bad time to reaeh her, had wofully neglected their plain duty. Will Torsey say they were under no obligation to notify us? Suppose she had suddenly been taken with brain fever, her reason gone, — would he have had no duty to perform? Again, if she had fallen and nearly destroyed life, would he or his friends say he had no duty to per- 5 i h’ I �I TILE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 109 form? Would behave abandoned her? In such cases, he would be held in law for damages; but when her character was at stake, which to her was dearer than life, he could see no danger, had no fears, no immediate duty to perform. You would feel that morally, if not legally, they were responsible for her death. You would care not how high or low were their standing, — they should stand or fall by the justice of their acts. There is no religion in profession. By their acts they should be judged. By the fruit the tree is known. To do C7znst-like is Christianity. Does the reader see anything like his example and precepts in all their dealings with Lou­ ise? Tell me what single act of kindness have those Kent’s Hill professed Christians done in pursuing to recover, or to assist us to find our child, their old student of five years. No, not one single act or one dollar can they show that they have expended in the search, or in any way to assist us in the discovery of the one for whose board, tuition, and books I had paid them so much. They never have offered to do the first thing in that • direction, or, to my knowledge, have they ever asked or requested any stu­ dent to assist us, except the one who came home with Chestina; while many a stranger has turned out to assist us in the search, and many were the acts of generosity and kindness done and offered me in my long, lonely, and wearisome search, which cheered and sustained me on my sad journey. They will long be remembered; while from those managers on Kent’s Hill where I have paid my money, and have so sadly lost my child, I receive only insult and injustice at every turn. What is the cause of all this? What have I done to deserve such treatment? * “ I have but little faith in man. God is our only refbge in this great trial. He is merciful and good. ‘ His mercy endureth forever.’ ” On reading the following letter of L. to her mother, — which was over­ looked, — I am tempted to put it in here, although out of place : — “ Kent’s Hill, Sunday, Feb. 4, 18GG. “Dear Mother, — We received your letter last night, and will to-day commence an answer, which I shall probably mail about the middle of the week. I was both sorry and glad when your letter came; glad that this revival of religion was getting deeper iuto the hearts of the people, and spreading from neighborhood to neighborhood. No one can help rejoicing at this; sorry that for you, mother dear, there does not come peace, — ‘ peace like a river.* I believe it is waiting for you, — and not on the other shore, but here, right here. For those who are gone you can but feel thankftil. I shall always think of our little one as a bright spirit, waiting just beyond the river, and rejoicing when he sees us doing bravely �110 Q THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. our liie-work here, and saddened (perhaps), if we grow too weary of the way, too impatient for the journey’s end. You ask a strange question, mother,— ‘ What does one like me have to live for?’ I should answer, ‘ Everything.’ For your children. Do you want them obliged to walk the hard path your childhood’s feet once trod ? Can you think of a sadder word for them than this one, — motherless ? “ For your husband. Needs he not you, temporally and spiritually, mentally and morally? For community. You have means; you have influence. Wherein they are weak, strengthen them, and, by so doing, you will gain strength yourself. Wherein they are wrong, make yourself able, by reading and thought and word, to right them. “ When they have trouble, comfort and help them, and comfort will come into your own heart. Look not mournfully back upon the past, but hopefully into the future. “ Oh, it’s very easy to say these things, but hard to begin to do them ! Once begun, however, they bring their own reward, like every other good thing. Won’t you try, mother mine, to turn your mind away from these sad thoughts ?•— to come out of self? For it is your loss you mourn, not his, for his is gain. Not so much your loss, but losses, I should have said. I think I understand how this bereavement has brought all the others fresh to your mind, — from the mother who left you in childhood, down through the long line to your boy. They are calling you, and it seems as though you could not wait. But think who hold you here. By the memory of your own motherless girlhood, and the need you have, even now, of a mother, I entreat you to find room in your heart for your other children, — and a willingness to stay. “You are anxious to go, you say; anxious to leave us to—what? Do you realize what? Can you imagine our home as a home, and you gone ? Do you want your* children to grow up as Aunt Martha’s would have grown without your care? You are willing, ‘ nay, more, anxious for this ’ ? Take it back, mother, unsay it; you cannot mean it, mother. You might be willing for us all to die and you be left, but must not be willing for the opposite. “You used to be strong and brave. It is twice as heroic to be willing to live sometimes, as it would be to die as the martyrs did, — at the stake. “ Don’t pray for death, — but patience, faith, and strength. May you have them always and abundantly, is the earnest wish of “ Your affectionate daughter, . “Louise.” The denomination in the interest in which this school is conducted, with i I ! I i �I THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 111 here and there an exception, — especially their minister, so far as I have known,—have shown a willing disposition to clear Dr. Torsey and the faculty from all blame, and repeat the various charges and reports against my child. My wife has belonged to that denomination about thirty years ; and as the interest of that denomination is now to sustain their leading man at that institution, she sees that all her hard labor in taking care of their ministers and members at her home, and the funds given in that direction, are but of little account, when the reputation of one of their leading men is at stake. They have nothing to do to alleviate her sorrows, to heal the. awful wound, to console her grief, to defend the character of her child, up to the time she was accused ; no excuse to make for this one act of her life. They can repeat the charges against her, and insinuate that she had not been all right before ; while they abound in excuses for those who managed this sad affair. I will say to such, as Peter said, “ God is no respecter of persons.” To err is human; to forgive, divine. “ By their fruit ye shall know them.” And now let me say to all, that, as you have the evidence, such as would be sustained in any court, as proof that Louise had lost at the college in the eleven weeks which she had boarded there this term, up to the time I took her trunk and other articles away, over sixty articles, — four to one of all they have ever accused her of having; and from the day when you shall come into possession of these facts, oue and all, for the sake of truth and justice, when you hear repeated the charges against her whose tongue is silent in death, just- say somebody had taken four articles of hers, to one of which they accuse her; and that embraces five pairs of cotton drawers, . the last wearable pair she had; and that she rode away, and walked to the couch of death with none on, as she said, and which was proved by the discovery of her remains. And was there not some necessity for putting on others unmarked in their stead? “ I had no intention of stealing them; if mine had not come before the term was done, I should have left them in the wash.” O my God ! where is the conscience of those who took, and now have, her last pair of common drawers, when they know she must have suffered intensely from cold for the want of them, as she lay dying on the cold earth through, those chilly nights in May 1 God may forgive them and those who so wickedly pursue to disgrace her memory; I cannot, unless they show a different disposition than they have done. There are many other articles lost, which we believe she had with her at the college ; they are not named in Mrs. Green’s sworn statement; not �112 THE CROWN WORN BUT NOT WON. having positive personal knowledge, they are not mentioned; such us books, stockings, handkerchiefs, and various small articles; with a bank book, showing a deposit of eighteen dollars to her credit in a Boston Savings’ Bank. Some of the lost and sworn-to articles were plainly marked, — and some­ body knows where they are. Where are all those sixty or more articles? Echo answers, — Where ? They at that college should forever be silent as to stealing, until they render some account of these lost articles belonging to my daughter. Why did they pursue L. to such extent to prove that she had, and to hunt up owners to claim, unmarked articles, when they will tell all, that they are not responsible for unmarked articles ? And why did Miss Case, in violation of rule, put into the wash unmarked articles, and so readily claim and take from L. the same ? And why did Mrs. Daggett, the next day after L. left, go into L.’s and Mary Chapman’s room with Miss Hunton and others, and take up an unmarked article and suppose it belonged to others, who knew that article was there before Louise left? There are dark spots all the way along. “ Is there not a hole somewhere in that building where things disappear and are seen no more there ” ? as my wife told Mrs. Daggett, Nov. 8, 1866. Had we not lost enough there to be allowed to say that? We had borne and forborne the losses there in 1861, ’62, ’63, ’64, and ’65, in silence, for her sake, for fear of appearing small, and getting up a feeling against her. When weohave borne all this without saying a word to them, it does seem too hard that no leniency should have been extended to our child 1 , As soon as we reached home with L.’s things, May 30, and found lots of her clothing and other articles missing, Mrs. Greene (as I was obliged to leave immediately to continue the search), wrote Mr. Daggett, and notified him of the things she had then missed, so that he could look them up before / = that term closed, when all the students were there. He made no reply; / never answered her letter. At a later date she wrote Mr. Torsey that many/ of L.’s things were lost. Neither he nor Daggett, from that day to the. present time, has written us a word of explanation about the same. In October, wanting some of L.’s books to send to Chestina, who was away to school, we wrote Miss Reed (as we could not get a word from those who Prof. Robinson says, “ have nothing but pity for L.’s friends,” that any­ thing was there, or that they would ever try to look them up), and asked her if she would go to the college and see if she could find the two valu­ able books, and ask them if any other articles were there. Mrs. Daggett, brought forward two books,—but not the ones we wrote for,—L.’s Adelphia i �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 113 pin, with her name plainly marked on the same, with some other articles, to the amount of, perhaps, in all, five dollars. These are none of the articles sworn to, by Mrs. Greene, as now lost. Why did Mrs. D. keep those articles from the last of May, until October, with L.’s name marked on some of them, when Mrs. Daggett admitted to Miss Reed, nt this time, that she knew my wife had written for them, and asked them to look them up ? Any mother would be very desirous to know all about the lost one’s things, under such circumstances. I repeat, why did she keep them, and withhold all information? What means all this in my daughter’s first, fore­ most, and fast accuser, — one who ..could call L., to her mother, an'habitual thief, because, as she said, L. said she had been in the habit of taking un­ marked articles, when hers were lost, to wear until hers came again ? Mrs. Greene says to her, Nov. 8, when Mrs. D. said that L. had been putting drawers in the wash several weeks before, “ Why did you not tell me when I was here nine days before she left?” Mrs. D. then distinctly said, in my presence, “ We never mistrusted any kind of a thing until Monday night before she left Wednesday .morning; ” and as Mrs. G. was blaming them there for the way they treated L., and about the large amount of articles lost there, she said, “ I know somebody is to blame; somebody knows where they are.” Mrs. Daggett whined out, “ I had rather bear the blame myself than have Dr. Torsey,” and continued to say, “I have done noth­ ing that I am sorry for, nothing but what I would do again.” Dr. Torsey tells Miss Reed, that he had no regrets when he went to Lew­ iston, and to the place where her remains were found. S. R. Bearce, who went with him, tells the same; that Torsey said, his conscience was clear ; that be had done all he could to save her, or words to that effect; when he (Torsey) was the last person on earth who talked with her about her trouble, he leaving her alose, sending no one to her to comfort or assist her. As soon as he leaves, she takes off her jewelry, and some other valuables, hastily writes these words on a little scrap of paper, — ‘‘Heart breaking, dearly beloved, adieu,” — then leaves the room and building, without saying a word to any one, hastily tries to see her sister, then takes the stage, flees from this man as from a tiger, and from the Hill; flees from class-mates, teachers, room-mate, and all her friends on earth, — alone, shunning every­ body she knew, — goes to Lewiston and walks to the solitary forest, and to the couch of death, and there, with a broken heart, far from home and friends, in that lonely forest, with no hand to administer to her, with none to speak words of comfort, with no eye to pity, save the all-seeing eye of God, she lays herself down and dies. In four months and twenty days, her decayed form is discovered. Who on earth could have believed that 8 I �Ill . TIIE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. Torsey, who had been at the head of that school so long, had her under his control and care for five years, could have been so self-righteous, and so self-conceited, or hard-hearted, as to believe that it was not possible that he had made some mistake, neglected some duty, or in some way, when the sad result was known, had failed to do all he could then have wished he had done, or that if he had done differently, this awful result could have been avoided? Who, under all the circumstances, could feel that his conscience Was clear, — that they could or would not have done differ­ ently if they had known the sad result ? Do the public believe their bold assertions ? If so, God pity them ! and parents should be cautious how they trust their children in their hands. I do not know that I should doubt their assertions, after the manner they received us in that faculty meeting, and the letters I have received from Torsey, and what he said to Mrs. G., the cool way and manner of their arguments and appearances; when Prof. Morse read her class-letter so coolly, not the slightest emotions perceptible by any except one or two lady teachers. I do not know about such persons having anjT conscience. I scarcely ever saw a stranger .read that letter without shedding tears.' The very recital of the circumstances of her leaving to strangers, when I was looking for her, would often cause sympathetic tear, while the lead­ ing members of that faculty could so coolly treat us in our greatest distress. Torsey tried, in that meeting, to find out what we were going to say about her loss.; and when we were accusing him of prejudice and in­ justice, he stamped his foot on the floor, and tried to stop us with this show of authority, or to stamp us down. If he would thus attempt to ex­ ercise his authority over us, we may well judge how he would be likely to treat our child if she made any attempt to defend*herself. Torsey will not admit that she was not just herself, but tells Roscoe Smith, as he (Smith) says two weeks after L. had gone, that if dither was crazy, ' it was her mother. I can only say to those self-righteous people, who have no regrets, and would do the same again under like circumstances, that they very much resemble a certain sect whom, in the days of Christ, he called Pharisees. Where is the evidence that he was kind to her, or tried to make this trouble look favorable to her? He says he was kind to her. I have no evidence of that; but there is evidence clear to my mind that he knew she was not fully in her right mind, when he says he told her if she did go, to let her sister make all the arrangements. What does this mean? Why attempt to put her under that much younger sister, who was a stranger x 4 < f �I THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 115 there compare! to this old student, if he believed her fully sane? Facts will creep out. If Torscy should say the school knew it before he did, would that help the case? Should the next in authority—Miss Case, the preceptress, and Mrs. Daggett — proceed in the examination, without his knowledge, when he was there, and then let all be known to the school, before he knew it? No one would believe that, after we have proved that Miss Case and Mrs. D. went into his part of the house before entering Miss Reed and Chestina’s room the day before L. left. One more point. Who believes, if this had been Prof. Perley’s daughter, or a favorite of Torsey, that he could and would not have found some way to have kept the matter private, and from the school, — saved her character and life? I have not a shadow of doubt that nothing but the will was wanting to have done that in poor Louise’s case. A student writes me, under date of March 21, 18G7. With other things, he says, “I cannot state facts, that is, positive evidence; but yet, I am assured in my own mind that favoritism and partiality did exist, arising not only from sectarian motives, but other more trivial, but not less culpa­ ble considerations. I say this in no spirit of animosity or fancied injustice done me, for I have none, but as an unprejudiced observer; was a member of the school five terms, and think I have drawn my conclusions rightly.” Another student writes Mrs. Greene, under date March 1,18G7. ‘Among other things, she says: “ I lost a pair of good stockings. I think T lost those the last week of the spring term. Mrs. Daggett did not know where they went to, and I am sure I don’t. Nearly all the girls lost more or less that they put into the wash. I never could understand why there need to be so many things lost. Poor Louise! how much she must have suffered? I have often thought what my feelings must have been under similar circum­ stances. God only knows her feelings, for I think no one else can. It was very hard that she remained n’gne the night before she left. The girls felt badly about it, but did not know it till the next morning.” God and those who hold the skeleton keys only know — I do not — how much their skeleton keys had to do about their finding out her real senti­ ments or feelings towards them, by examining her private correspond­ ence, in her room, in her absence I From one of her class I have a letter under date of December, 1866, from which I make the following extract: “ I dare not judge the teachers of intentional wrong, though that some great wrong has been done I think hone will deny. “ It is very strange where so many of Louise’s things arc. There are things I - 1 �116 THE CROWN' WON BUT NOT WORN. taken as supposed every term by the help, and was last term at the close. Louise was very much loved by the students, with but very few exceptions. I think no one will deny that. I always loved her even before I knew her well, and since I’ve known her intimately I’ve counted her. among my dearest friends. Louise was a true friend, and had the kindest, most sympathizing heart of any girl I knew. We always sought her in trouble or sorrow. Iler life was full of sympathy and care for those around her.” In another letter from an old student, she says, writing to Mrs. Greene from Kent’s Hill, October 7, 18GG: “ I talked with Mary Chapman : she says it makes her mad to hear a word said against Louise, and she did not think she had any evil intentions, only was careless about looking after her own clothing.” (This writer continues :) “ I cannot see why any one should try to hurt Louise’s character, for she was very particular in regard to her gentleman associates. She always selected those who had the best standing in school. I have heard that repeated time and again, by those that were well acquainted with her. She is wronged when it is said of her* she had not au unspotted character. Do not think I say these things because I am writing to you ; it is what I say to all, and what I sincerely believe.” Mary Chapman writes me, from which I make the following extract. Speaking of Louise before her body was found: “ I pity her from the bottom of my heart, and gladly, oh, so gladly! would I again take her into my confidence and love her as before. I always treated her as a , sister; in fact, she took the place of one to me, and a kind and good one she was.” Do students go, or are they sent, to Kent’s Hill to build up that religious denomination ? This may be the object for which some are sent there, but it is no part of the purpose for which many students go there. To get an education is the great object; this is what the State has endowed colleges and academies for. This institution ba» received large amounts in land and money from the State. In 1827, it received one half township of land, and subsequently, at seven different times, it has received from the State eighteen thousand six hundred dollars. Who gets the benefits of.this more than twenty thousand dollars from the people of the State? Do the students get the benefit of it? Nothing but the chance to attend that school by paying well for all they get there. Does not this twenty thousand dol• lars put them under some obligations to the public to guard, protect, and take good care of all the students who are entrusted to their care? and no artifice or dodge of Dr. T. will excuse him by saying a student is of age. That faculty is under every obligation, legal, moral, and religious, to im- 7 5- �1 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. ■ 117 partially teach, protect, and defend the rights of every student, of whatever name age, sect, or color, whom they have or shall receive into their, school; and he who for any cause, holding such a responsible position, allows his prejudice to prevent an impartial performance of all his duties, has for­ feited all claim to public confidence, or the respect of individuals. Will Dr. T. yet say that he left it to her about leaving? It looks as though he means to say that by and by, by what he wrote me in October 18GG : “I spoke only at any time of her leaving, when she had decided to go home.” All who know that man and the authority he exercises on the Hill (and L. knew it well), know he is not in the habit of leaving much to the student to decide; no, not he, by no means; he is one whose actions show that he believes he was born to command, and all the right students have is to obey. In proof of this I will here let some students speak for themselves, .and here I would call the attention of that wise and knowing committee of students, to see how much they knew .what their Bev. II. P. Torsey, LL. D., the President, had or had not done. They seem to think, as it looks to me in their article of about two-thirds of a column in the Farmer, that the repeating of the title President, which they have done ten times in that communication, with Rev. and LL. D. sometimes attached, would be a clincher, and the public must take all they have resolved and said to clear Torsey, as true, as they would believe him to be a mighty big and powerful man. From a letter to me from a student dated May 7, 18G7, I make the fol- . lowing extracts: — “ Your daughter was a kind friend of mine during my stay at Kent’s Hill, and her conduct towards all exemplary. During a recitation in read­ ing under Prof. Torsey, I laughed at something the professor said, and another student laughed, too. Prof. Torsey said, ‘ Stop laughing immedi­ ately,’ and we could not. Instead of correcting us as a gentleman, for I grant we did wrong, not intending it for impudence but merely because we could not control ourselves, he took the other student (she gives her name) by the ear and pulled her to a front seat, and took the back of the book and knocked me in the face with it several times ; this lie did before a class of ladies and gentlemen. IIq never spoke one kind word to me during my stay ; his only spirit towards me was a domineering one. Ho governed by fear, not by love. This the other student certainly will tell you was done, if she says anything about it; ” and then she gives me the reason why she thinks the other student might not like to say anything about the matter. She thou continues and says: wiBut there is a just God, who will certainly bring the one who caused your grief to a higher �♦> 118 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. tribunal than an earthly one.” She offers to make oath to the truth of this statement. In another letter, dated June 19, 1867, the writer says : “I think Mr. Torsey is a good, teacher, as far as his scholarship extends; and, were it not for his strong prejudices, he would be a good disciplinarian. He is a man to be feared more than respected. He has a faculty of appearing very religious, and will make a favorable impression upon a man who sees but one side of him. But the man who knows him as thoroughly as I know him will not be disposed to speak of him in favorable terms. Mr. Torsey may be a Christian, but I have for years prayed that I might have a different kind of religion. The seminary folks’ meeting held at the seminary, and the action there taken did not change my mind at all about the matter. I was with them so long, that I understand how those meetings are got up. The hand that moves the whole thing is not seen by the undiscerning.” I have just received a letter, dated July 22, 1867, in which the writer says: “ I lost my wallet with its contents the latter part of the spring term. It was taken out of my room (which was left unlocked) some time during the night. I have not found out anything about it yet. The wallet contained about $700 in money. I remember at the time hearing of a number of the students who lost money and gther articles.” This student, at the time he lost his money, was boarding in the college building. It is a well-known fact, when they choose'to keep those things private, that they have a good faculty to do so; hence the school and the public know but very little about this student, or Miss Grover losing money, or the other students losing money and other’ articles, as this student says, at that term. In another letter, dated June, 1867, an old student, — one who has been there for years, and had boarded in the college; a student of good sound judgment; one who had as good a chance as any to judge cor­ rectly ; who was there when L. left, — says: “ Dr. Torsey’s authority in the school, I think, is unlimited. But this is my opinion, and, I think, is the opinion of nearly every student of the Hill, that whatever measure Dr. Torsey thought best to adopt, the faculty would unhesitatingly agree with him. As to what course they would have pursued in regard to Louise, if she had remained, I am not prepared to say, further than this, — I do not think they would have allowed her to graduate.” I have quoted from this letter to show what everybody conversant on the Hill knows to be true (although Torsey may say the trustees voted the diplomas; he may say this, that, or the other for an excuse that he t I £ * i �I THE CROWN’ WON' BUT NOT WORN. 119 did not know whr.t the faculty would do), that Torsey’s power i unlimited, in or out of the school, in regard to everything pertaining to the whole arrangement. lie had the whole power in his own hands, and could and did do just as he pleased with my poor girl. Had he adopted a course which would have saved her, it would have been sanctioned and agreed to by the other members of the faculty. At the bottom* of one of the letters from which I have made quotations I find the following : — •‘P. S. — A sZy, subtle, vindictive person can do almost anything to carry his point, under the cloalc of religion, and, at the same time, be sustained by a clique or sect.” This is exactly my opinion of the man ; and, if my poor girl was living, she would say that his treatment of her had proved him to be such a man. Having quoted largely from letters and other writings, without giving the writers’ names, in most cases unnecessary to the public, I wish for all who shall read it, fully to understand that I have, in every ease, quoted the exact language of all, both letters and other writings; and that I have and shall keep each aud all on tile; and that I have not made a quotation from a single letter marked private or confidential. Will Dr. T.. or any who dealt with her, yet come out openly and attack her previous good character It would seem rather strange aud incredible for Torscy, or any other member -of the faculty, the steward or his wife, at this late day, to make any such attempt; when, during all those five years, with my other three daughters, who have been there from one to two terms each, while I or Mrs. Greene have been on the Hill, to take them to, from, and to see to them there, from six to ten times yearly, stopping from one to three days each,— and one time Mrs. G. was there over three weeks, during the sickness of two of the girls, — no complaint had ever reached us from Torsey, any other member of the faculty, the boarding-master or bis wife, that Louise or the other girls had been remiss in lessons, disobeying rules of .the school, or in any way that they had behaved unbecoming as students at their school. No, not a word of complaint had ever reached us from them by any other person or student but what all four of our girls were well-behaved at the Hill, until twelve o’clock at night, May 23, 1866, and, like a thunderbolt, that report struck us to the heart! None can tell the awful shock but those who received it. It will ill become them ‘ at this late day’ to complain to the public, while during those live years they could find nothing worthy of the least complaint to her parents, who should have been informed aud con­ sulted at the time if she was at fault. In view of all the evidence of her / i 1 �I 120 (■ THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. good standing at home and elsewhere, and the absence of any complaints against her up to this time, I will let the public draw their own conclu­ sions, only saying, that, although they tried to make her account for all the little things lost during the term up to the time she left, they cannot hold her responsible for Mrs. Grover’s money, which they pursued and took from Miss M.; also, the wallet and money of Mr. Gower, a student; a music-book, and lots of hats, and other things, which were lost there soon after Louise left. Dr. Torsey admits to us in that faculty meeting one fact, which all who knew her will endorse, when he says, “ Your daughter, although in rags, with her open and frank countenance, and her lady-like manners, will find friends wherever she goes ; any one will take her in ” (he should have excepted himself). This shows at once that deception or dishonesty was no part of her nature. It is not strange, therefore, that she should be misunderstood and misjudged by those who we believe have practised deception, and understood that art so long and well. An eminent writer has said, “ What the world wants is not honesty, but acquiescence.” Without fully subscrib­ ing to that sentiment, that idea has been .plainly illustrated, I think, on Kent’s Hill. Acquiescence in the decision and opinions of the faculty would have covered a multitude of sins. Louise knew full well their power and disposition to crush all who should attempt to say anything in palliation or excuse for her, as she wrote to her sister, “ It will be useless for you to say anything in excuse or palliation; it will break you down; bend beneath it.” She foresaw the course they would pursue towards her sister if she tried to defend,her; she knew how they had pursued her about hearsays aud'little things. She w'ould, doubt­ less, if she could, say to her parents, for any defence you may make for me, that faculty will pursue, harass, and try to break you down. It has been said that the article written by one of the officiating clergymen at her funeral, who was assisted by a prominent citizen of Peru, and pub­ lished in the “ Loyal Sunrise” of Nov. 23,1866, was untrue, and the position therein assumed, in saying “ her enemies were relentless,” was wrong. I can only say that those gentlemcn.had access to all the communications between Dr. T., myself, Louise, her writings, and various letters from her class, and other students, and that they came to the conclusion that such a course as all this indicated towards her and her family did not look like the actions of friends. I will state, for the information of the faculty, trus­ tees, and that committee of students, that neither I nor any member of my family knew anything about the article that appeared in the “ Sunrise ” of January 11, 1867. i I If >■ �I THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 121 Let me recapitulate and sum up some of tbeir proceedings, and the treat­ ment Louise, her sinter, and her parents have received at the hands of tins faculty and those under them, and then judge whether this is the action of friends or enemies. Monday night they say something to her about the clothing. Tuesday Mrs. Daggett and Miss Case enter, unbeknown, and search their room, then go into an examination. She explains. They closely search and open all her things ; that little fancy box or trunk, holding about a quart, could not be exempted. They, when exhausted in their accusations, call in Mr. Daggett to assist them. She frankly tells them all the whole truth, as she says in her class letter: “ I told them the truth as near as I could in my distracted state of mind.” She did not deny a word, — refunds. But these, some say, friends were not content; they must disgrace her sister, also. They proceed up to and into Dr. T.’s part of his house (as I sup­ pose, to report progress’, and to get further instructions), then enter C'hestina’s and Miss Reed’s room. They tell her L.’s confession and all, repre­ sent that she had lots of marked and unmarked articles in her room, trunk, and drawer, and say what an awful thing it is ; then ask to, and search her trunk and all her things. Are they content? Not yet. They ask her if there is not another trunk kept there. Was this not trying to make them or L. account for all the articles lost at this term? Was this like the action of friends to my girls, withoi# knowledge to me, and without authority, to enter Miss Reed’s and my daughter’s room, —a room as sacred to them ; a room where they had rights as well as you, kind reader, have in your own quiet domicile, where no ruthless hand has a right, without due process of law, to enter and overhaul at will? They may say that they asked leave of these students to do this, that, or the other thing. What students would dare to deny under such circumstances? They find nothing, but tell her sister all in the worst form. Mr. Chandler, who comes home with C. that night, knows it all in an exaggerated form, as told by Miss Case and D. Mr. Swaglcs, a boarder with Dr. T., tells L. lie knows all, Wednesday, on the stage. They leave her alone that night, although Miss Daggett and three lady teachers board in the same building. They have no friendly word to say to her, no advice to give. They do not approach her lonely room to see if she does not desire some friendly act, some friend sent for to read or pray with her. They all knew she was in trouble. Was it be­ cause they were afraid they should displease Dr. T., or was it, as he said, because “ she was under censure”? Would it disgrace them? Do the ’ teachings of Christ appear in those professed followers? She, as it J �122 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. were, with her brain on lire, walks her lonely room through that night. She writes in her letter the next day: “ I tried to read my Bible last night, but could not,” thus showing a partial derangement, a wretched state of mind. Does this look like the action of Christians or friends in those who had known her so long? Torsey takes her alone the next morning, and has a long conversation with her. He appeals to her to know what she wants done. She says : “ I want it kept from the school, — to stay and graduate.” He tells her the school knew it; that she had better leave that day. Will he deny this? He tells Miss Reed so, aud that L. further said, “If she • could not graduate, there was no future for her.” lie tells Chestina “ it would not have been best for her to have goue on to the stage,” etc. If he had not desired her to leave, or if he had wanted her to have graduated or been willing for her to, would he have answered Chestina as he did ? Would l.e have said it would not have beeu best for her to have goue on to the stage? She would have been pointed out as the girl that Stole. He could not help letting it out to her sister that he meant everybody should know her con­ fession about the money. If he had desired her to have stopped and grad­ uated, his answer to C. would have been : Yes ; she could have graduated. I wanted her to, and if we can get her back, she can now. In two weeks after she left, he tells Roscoe Smith, who lived then near me, as he (Smith) tells me in the presence of others, that Torsey told him in presence of others, that when L. made the request to have it kepi from the school, and she stay and graduate, he told her the school knew it. She writes soon as she leaves the Hill, after failing to see her sister before she left, that Dr. Torsey “ in­ formed me this : that I had better leave to-day. ‘ Not expulsion,’ he said; ‘ we won’t call it that; but I advise you to go home.’ Practically, is amounts to the same thing, however. How I feel, God only knows ; yon never can,” etc. Mr. Smith further said that Dr. T. told him and others, at the time above referred to (he then pretended to think she was living), all about her confession, and other things in that last and private conver­ sation, aud further said if either was crazy, it was her mother. With the letters he has written me, does the reader see any friendly band in all those proceedings? Will any parent believe for a moment,’ if this was their case, their child, that all those proceedings were the acts of friends? Would friends have reported her private confession to disgrace her? She had done all she could to deserve forbearance. In God’s name were they not doing all they could to ehagriu and mortify her sister in the house of the princi pal of this school, — to disappoint, distract, and break the heart of L. ? Does that long string of written misrepresentations of Professor Robinson, which 4 I r �it TIIE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 123 ho calls fads, look like the actions of a friend? He says: “ At the request of the faculty Mr. Torsey called to see Miss G. and talk with her about"the matter.” He does not say why or what they requested him to see or talk with her about. Again he says: “No intimation was given her that she must leave the school, —that she could not graduate. Mr. Torsey expressly said to her that if she left, it would not be on account of any action of the faculty.” (What whoppers ’) Does any one believe she was seeking to leave in disgrace? See the sworn statements of Miss Reed, C. S. Greene, Louise’s letter, Mr. Smith’s statement. Query: For what did the faculty request T. to call to see L. ? She had confessed, explained all, refunded the money. She had but two weeks longer to remain. She was feeling bad enough. If she was the bad girl they now would have people believe, did they expect to reform her in two weeks, if no intimation was to be given her about leaving, oi' that she could not graduate? I repeat, why did the faculty request him to call and talk with her about the matter? Oil, could she speak, then we should know what further he said to her, — what the fac­ ulty sent him to her for other than advising her to leave that day, and say­ ing “ we won’t call it expulsion.” (It is expulsion, but I will deceive, dissemble, withhold the real fact, won’t call it what it is, what you and I understand it to be.) Why is all this prevarication? All this does not look like the actions of friends. To me and to my family it looks like the doings of some unfriendly hands, enemies, and relentless ones, too. Would a friend have written me as Dr. T. did, June 30, 1866, — not answering my one question, but putting a half dozen insulting questions to me, and then adding this threat, “ Such reports as these may oblige us to state the facts publicly ” ? Again he writes me, July 11, 1866, again asking questions about flying reports of what he has heard that I and Mrs. Greene have said to certain persons, ami then adds, “ You know she stole money and can find no one that will tell you I ever brought the matter before the school.” And then advising a double lawsuit in those words, “By bringing a ease of libel or slander, followed on our part by a prosecution for malicious prosecution and for slander.” Had I given him any cause for those insulting letters? The reader can judge, as I have laid before them every letter and word I have written him since L. left, they being only two in all; and I have kept a copy of all the letters I have written him since Louise first went to that school. I know whereof I speak, and that 1 have not given him cause thus to insult and abuse me. Would a friend at this time, when 1 had spent five weeks from home in this sad and fruitless search to find any reli­ able trace of our child; my wife prostrate after she makes one trip with r �1 I THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. mo, and, despairing of ever finding her, takes her bed ; my children in the greatest distress and commotion watch for some tidings of the missing one, they needing all my care ; but duty and anxiety for the lost one kept me away as long as a possible chance or hope remained. Yet, on two occa­ sions when I did reach home, I found those letters before named, from this pompous, bigoted, overbearing, and heartless man. Was this sympathy, or was it not to awe me into silence at the fear of his publicly disgracing my once lovely girl who had fled in dismay before his power? Judge ye which. Would a friend have disregarded the warning, of Miss Reed and Chestina about her probable destruction, and the earnest wish to have some one pursue her to Lewiston, as they had requested Harriman to do ? Why did this head man, — the only one fo order and direct on the Hill—parley, hesitate, argue and thus try to quiet their fears ; why put it off from twelve to six o’clock, after he knew where and how she had gone? (I know he has said he thought best to wait until after the stage returned from the depot, at four, to see if the conductor could tell whether she stopped at L. or not.) This would be very uncertain,—a most miserable excuse for delay. She should have been pursued regardless of where she should stop. Would he have thus delayed if it had been his own child? Although I cannot recall the past or recover our daughter, whom we took so pure, so innocent, in 1861 to Kent’s Hill and put under the charge and protection of this “ Rev. H. P. Torsey, LL.D., the President” of that religious institution, should we — after the long years we kept her there, after her suffering and death, under the circumstances of this sad case, with the disposition those who dealt with her show to disgrace her memory and to injure the feelings of parents and friends,— should we bear it all, and the thousand misrepresentations of what she was guilty go uncorrected ? I believe it to be a duty from which I cannot escape,— a duty I owe to her memory, to myself and family, to her numerous friend, and to the public,— to state all the facts of this case which have come to my knowledge, and leave all to judge whether my daughter and family have been fairly used by those who control that insti­ tution. I, as I told Torsey in that faculty meeting, should not dare to trust another child to his care. When we consider how liable the young are to step from the strict path of rectitude, and know not how great the temptation may be, if for the first offence, for five dollars (God only knows the real cause why it was done), frank acknowledgment ami private restoration are made, should they make such woful work, such hasty reports, pursue to such extent, give her such advice, neglect her, and delay to notify her friends till too late to save her, till she had time to get beyond our reach? When we consider ’f I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. I 125 how many in early life and some in mature years have done something or caused others to do as bad, as the taking of five dollars, and all has been quietly kept with those alone who necessarily knew it, — they being usually well-disposed persons, who have in afterlife made first-rate men and women, have been an ornament to society and done much good in the world; whereas exposure might have ruined them forever; — surely “ kind words can never die,” and may be productive of much good. Was there any good reason if all was true, for putting the worst construction upon this, her first offence? Should they not have used every means to keep the matter private, made the best of it, allowed her to graduate, or at least quietly and immediately notified her friends before intimating to her what the result would be? She had a right to be heard by counsel; we bad rights and should have been notified early in the trouble. I had paid them money enough to put them under some obligations; they owed some con­ sideration to so old a student (of five years). She had lost enough there to have entitled her to some forbearance. They may say that they could not have kept it from the school; tliey seem to have power to keep the taking of money and other articles by other students quite still. Who took Mrs. Grover’s ten dollars and five cents? But few knew it, and less know who took thirty dollars, the hats, and music-book since L. left. They have a good faculty to keep what they choose from the school and the public. How much have they said about those sixty articles that Louise lost at the last term at the college? In God’s name do not, for the sake of truth and justice, ever again represent that L. confessed in her letter that she stole even unmarked articles of clothing, when she distinctly in her letter to her sister says: “ I had no intention of stealing them ; for every article I took I had lost one in the wash, and put those on in their stead, expecting before the term was done to find my own. There was some sort of necessity-for this. For instance, I came to the college with three or four good whole drawers; to day as I ride away I have none. Was it so strange tliat I should put on others also unmarked in their stead ? ” In her class letter referring to the unmarked articles she says: “ But if my own garments had not come by the close of the term, I should have left those where I got them, in the wash.” She further says: “I can feel myself guilty of but one crime, the taking of the five dollars.” There is no con­ fession of stealing clothes at all. What a reward for her frank confession did she receive by those who dealt with her 1 Here I wish to put a question to the good judgment and common sense of all. If my girl had been a pilfering, thieving person, or a loose character, one who had been caught �126 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. in mean things, had got herself out,-by deception or otherwise, of dirty scrapes, would she have laid this so in ich to heart, take so much blame to herself, and think she h.i I disgrace I herself and frien ds, think her parentsan 1 friends would not forgive and be willing to receive her; that the Saviour was an iron door to her, shut and bolted ; that God would not hear or forgive her in this or the world to come? And was not Miss Case too bad in trying to impress upon her the enormity of the crime, and was not Torsey trying to do the same thing, when he, as be writes me, says, “My talk with her was about going to God and to you with the whole matter ” ? Again he writes: “I had a long conversation with her the morning she left, and urged upon her two things, first, that she go to Jesus with the whole matter, making this sad event the beginning of a humble, earnest Christian life ; and second, that she go at once to her father and mother, telling them all.” Now I appeal (to her confused and distracted mind) if this was not making her believe that she had committed so terrible a crime as to get down to a mere nothing before God and her parents to ask pardon, and that she leave the school in disgrace, tmd go at once to her father and mother telling them all; as though she had committed a heinous offence, a great crime, so much so, that she must go at once to them. How could she graduate? No delay would answer. If this was necessary, how do you suppose she thought he, Torsey, looked upon her crimes? This in my opinion was just what he meant, and did bring her to see herself when he advised her to leave, and bow much mercy do you suppose she could expect from him? Do you wonder that she writes, “heart breaking” as he left her? One has asked, what reason existed why they should desire to disgrace her, to send her away, and thus rob themselves of one of their best scholars at the approaching commencement? I answer, what good reason had he to refuse her reasonable request, and turn her out of his house noth threats? Did he give her or me a sufficient reason? Did it not plainly show that'it was at least in part because he disliked her friend, who had left his school, and, as Louise writes, because she and her folks were not right on the goose ? It is clear to me that he was carrying into execution his threat, “ if she should do anything that looked like a wilful violation of any rule, she could expect but little forbearance from the faculty.” Yes, that man and this faculty knew that she was not with them heart and soul as be expressed it; that after she graduated, not by word or pen would they receive from her aught but condemnation of the narrow and bigoted course they had pursued towards her and others who did not think as they did, and that this faculty was human and liable to err. Disgrace would destroy her in­ fluence. Iler talent for writing they might have feared. JI A �r— THE CBOWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 12? In reply to the report and misstatements made by A. <T. Blethen, E. M. Smith, A. W. Waterhouse, Margie Ilouschild, Nellie A. Wing, an 1 Mary E. Deering, acting as and purporting to be a committee of students chosen May G, 18G7, at a chapel exercise, after they had requested their teachers to withdraw; I say to this committee and to the public that, after a care­ ful perusal of’this pamphlet, they will find that I have produced evi­ dence and circumstances which will satisfy the impartial reader that most of the positions assumed in their preamble and resolves, and the statement therein made by this committee are refuted and shown to be untrue, while they were putting them before the public as “ facts,” of which they say, “ many of us were personally acquainted with the circumstances; ” when in fact they did not have any personal knowledge of what they' state. They’ go on to assert what was “ utterly false,” and with great boldness resolve what “ is truthful.” The reader will see that the doings of these students were a short time before the graduation of some of them, and to get into the good graces of this faculty, of which Torsey is chief, — and in fact as many students have expressed it, — Dr T. is the faculty. I know and have seen enough to believe those students Lave it about right. Favor­ itism had much to do I believe in their overmuch zeal to acquit and putf Dr. T., while they make up such a string of misstatements against an .old school-mate, one whose reputation and standing was as good as their own for five long years at that school, and send them broadcast over the State to disgrace her memory, and injure the feeling of her friends, while she sleeps in death and can make no reply. Is not Dr. Torsey able to make his own defence? The public may think it would have been as well to have let the faculty have had all the honor of pursuing their dead pupil. Torsey and others may say they knew nothing of this action of the students, he being away, etc. But I know this old angler so well, who knows how to throw his line and cover the hook, that I believe he knew just what would be done in his absence and how it would be accomplished. There are always enough who wish for favors to keep him quietly’ posted. Who believes that the other teachers did not know what was to be done when they left the hall? What right had students to remain after service if the cause was not known to, and permission given by the teachers? On reception of the action of this committee through the public journals, I addressed the fol­ lowing note to each member of this committee, under date, of June 7, 18G7, addressing each respectfully as follows : — “ As y’ou appear before the public as one of the committee who have made numerous statements in regard to my’ daughter’s leaving the college at Kent’s Hill, and as you state them to be facts, and that you were person- 1 ■4 �128 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. ally acquainted with the circumstances, and that you do so to correct false and groundless statements, please inform me what personal knowledge you have of what Messrs. Torsey, Daggett, his wife, and Miss Case said or did to Louise, or what they did not do or say? “ Please stata how you know that the crime was not known to any member of the faculty, until many of those otherwise connected with the school knew it; and that Torsey notified me to be in Lewiston before any morning train left; that the teachers did not know nothing of the matter until others were in possession of every circumstance; that, by the President, never has a single act of unkindness been manifested towards any student; and that Louise was not expelled from the school? “ Yours, respectfully, “Jonas Greene.” ii Is there anything disrespectful in this letter? Certainly not, the reader will say; and believing, as I do, that three-fourths of their statements were entirely false (and knowing some of them to be so), that this was a wicked and uncalled-for attack on our dead child, I was under no obligations to write them; but as I did not know but some one of this committee might be in possession of one fact, at least, of what they state they had knowledge of, and as I have spared no pains to obtain every fact possible, being very desirous of getting at the whole truth. As there was one ungrammatical sentence in those letters, my friend, to whom I showed them, and pointed out this sen­ tence, and the reason why I put it in, will smile to see how one of those sprigs of learning, Mr. A. J. Blethen, for the reason that he’ could not answer any of my questions, he having assisted in publishing as facts that which he knew nothing about, snapped at this bait and for his answer, wrote over the top of my letter these words, — “ Should advise a careful perusal of English grammar,” and returned it to me, evidently as an insult. He has put forth statements as facts, and could not give me a civil answer; how does he know a single one of them to be true ? I advise him, and the other four members of this committee, who have made no reply to my anxious but respectful request, to let Dr. Torsey, and the others who are implicated in this sad affair, take care of their own reputation, while he and his associates had better be attending to their own business. Modesty should have prevented her own sex, at least from appearing before the public to disparage her memory, and wound the feelings of her friends. �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 129 From A. W. Waterhouse, one of this committee, I received a respectful note, but entirely failing to answer any of my questions. He says: — “ With regard to statements made by the committee, of which I was a member, I will simply say, we endeavored to state the simple truth; nothing more, nothing less. As to explanations, which you ask, I refer you to the statements as printed. You cannot blame the students and friends of Dr. Torsey for wishing to have a fair statement of the case before the public.” »r What fair statement have you spread broadcast over the State? Simply this. You have repeated Torsey’s and the others’ statements to clear themselves, without asking or trying to find out a single word of what the friends of Louise knew or had to say in her defence. Not a word as to his or their knowledge does this member of this committee give me as to how they know what they published as facts, to be true. He does not answer one of my questions, but refers me to what they have printed ; as much as to say, — you must take what we have said as true because Dr. T. has told us so! Does that make a clear case for the party implicated to say he is innocent? They quote from L.’s letter with a relish where it tells against her; while nothing is said about any part of the letter where “ H. P. Torsey, LL. D., the President,” is implicated! The public will at once see where they desire the whole blame to rest. As I have before said, fear or favoritism predominates on the Hill, and their reward came speedily, as this committee of six took one-third of all the prizes awarded to that whole school at their closing exhibition. From the other four members, I got no reply. As I have spoken of a certain denomination usually talcing sides with the faculty, and showing a great desire to apologize aud to clear them from blame (no doubt but what’there are many exceptions), let me give the reader a sample how some of their leading members have met this sad case. In October last, while I was at Lewiston for the remains of my daughter soon after they were discovered, and there waiting for the coroner to return, as he was absent, — as I intended to have a j;ost mortem examination, to ascertain the immediate cause of her death, — while I was slowly pacing the sidewalks in sad and solemn thought, a stranger approached, and asked a question or two, and then said, “ Is this Mr. Greene, of Peru, who has lost a daughter?” And on receiving an answer in the affirma9 �130 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. tire, he said, in substance, “ I am one who do not visit the taverns or stores much ; I usually stay at home ; but have heard that much has been said about your daughter’s leaving the school at Kent’s Hill; and many arc disposed to blame Dr. Torsey very much, while others may think differently. But I am oue who wishes to see justice done, — do not take sides or part in street controversies.” Thus he continued in a cool, sober strain, for some time, I making but little reply, as I was feeling very bad. But thinks I, who is this cool, fair-talking stranger? He soon said, “We are to have an investigation, and if T. is to blame, let it be known; let him take the consequences; if otherwise, let him be acquitted; let justice be done, and have the matter cleared up; ” or words to that effect. I began to think that all this fair talk meant something. Just as we were about to part, I looked at him and said, “ Sir, although a stranger, I hope you are willing that justice shall be done to the memory of my poor, dead girl ?” He said, “ Certainly,” or words to that amount. As we were passing along, he said, “ I might as well say, that I am one of the trustees of that institution. My name is S. R. Bearce, of this place.” In a moment I thought I could see the whole length and breadth of him. • I knew just where he would end, if this conversation was continued. I knew naught of him ; but knew he must be a Methodist. He talked quite freely. I asked him some questions about the trustees. I said, “ Then Torsey is there by your (the trustees) authority? ” “ Yes,” was his reply. You control the whole matter, — do you ? ” (Meaning the general management and supervision of that institution.) His answer was, “ That is the purport, or our right; but w’e leave most all to Dr. Torsey. We do not have much to do, except in such a matter as this.” (Meaning the investigation spoken of by him, I suppose.) I asked him, — “when they proposed to investigate the matter? ” “ Oh I ” says he, “ when you have the inquest.” And said, “ I see by the paper that you are to have it to-day ; and I have written (he did not say he had sent for him) Torsey, and he will be here by noon to-day.” As we parted, thought I, “He was not a very disinterested stranger; and how did he know whom the coroner will see cause to summon before him as witnesses?” The coroner did not arrive that day; but those interested Kent’s Hillers (who never went one mile to my knowledge, out of their way; no, not one ~r r ! �I THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. V i .131 of them, to save my child, or in any way ever offered to assist me to find her) did come. Torscy, Mr. Daggett and his wife (and no doubt, if Miss Case had not gone home to New York, she would have come also) were prompt, and on hand, to testify and tell their story to clear themselves, without being called by the proper authorities willing witnesses in their own defence. AJittle more modesty would have made them appear as well. I waited until the next day (Thursday), and, as the coroner had not arrived, and as the time was fixed for the funeral on Sunday, and there was much to be done at home to carry out the arrangements, I was obliged to take her remains home, where I arrived with them on Friday evening. On Thursday forenoon, this sage and fair-talking S. R. Bearce, came into my brother’s saloon in Auburn, and asked about the inquest, and said, “ The coroner has got home” (which was not true), and said, “Torsey was there, but must go home at noon.” My brother, his wife, and some others were present. Mr. Bearce, my brother, and his wife began to talk about the cause and death of L. (I say but very little.)’ He (Bearce) again began in a seeming fair argument; but, as my brother’s wife said something in Louise’s defence, he (B.) then went on, stated the case, argued, and cleared T., in about two minutes, from all blame. He did not then, or at the other long interview on the street, ask me a single question, as to what I or my family knew of this sad case. The reader can see from whom he desired and did get his information, or how much he cared about “justice being done.” On his leaving the saloon, my brother, who was a stranger to him, says, — “ That is the man who so unceremoniously snatched that memoranda book out of my hands the other day, when I, with four others of L.’s uncles and aunts had just arrived at the spot where the remains of L. lay, and were trying to identify her. I had just taken this little book from her reticule, and was looking it over for that purpose.” At a later period, I learned that this man sent a team post-haste through to Kent’s Hill (where it arrived at midnight), to notify Torsey. This shows the great interest taken, when the reputation of Dr. Torscy, the school, and denomination is at stake. The public have seen in many of the papers of this State, the following statement, after the account of the anniversary exercises at Kent’s Hill, June 5th and Gtb, 1SG7 : “ By request of Dr. Torsey the trustees made a thorough investigation as to the conduct of the faculty in the case of the late Miss M. Louise Greene, and, as the result, they adopted resolutions and put them on file, entirely exonerating Dr. Torsey and the faculty from ... 1 �132 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. all blame, and fully approving their course.” Mark well the first point in this statement: “ by request, of Dr. T. ” Then it was not the trustees who instigated this examination. He desired to get before a committee of the trustees, and, with a long, sanctimonious face, tell his story, aud, backed by his special friends, he thought he could make them believe he was not to blame. He well knew I was not fool enough to appear at such a time and place before so one-sided a tribunal. As Dr. T. aud the faculty, by this published statement, stand fully acquitted, and the trustees’ committee are made to say they fully approve their course, the public are not informed how this was done. I owe to the memory of the dead, to myself and family, to show how this was accom­ plished ; how “ full and searching an investigation ” (as one paper reports this matter) could have taken place. On the 27th of May, 1867, I received a letter from F. A. Robinson, informing me that there would be a meeting of the trustees of that insti­ tution, June 5th, at ten o’clock A. M., “at which time the course of the faculty with reference to your ’daughter will be investigated by a com­ mittee chosen for that purpose. The faculty invite you to be present, and to prefer any charges you have to make against them, or to make any statement you wish to present.” To which I replied, May 28, as follows : — “Prof. Robinson: Sir, — Yours of the 28th is received and contents noticed. You name the time but not the place of the meeting of the trustees. From whom and by whom are the investigating committee to be chosen ? ” To which he replied, May 29, as follows: “ The place of holding the meeting is in the seminary building, Kent’s Hill. The committee will be of the trustees, and, of course, appointed by them. At an informal meeting held at Bath a few weeks since, the gentleman were indicated to constitute the committee.” He gave the names of five of the trustees as that committee. On the receipt of this, I, May 31, answered as follows : “ On the receipt of yours of the 27th, inviting me to an investigation of the course of the faculty in reference to my daughter, in answer to my inquiries of the 28th inst., asking you from whom and by whom are the investigating committee to be chosen, I never was more surprised in my life, than, on the receipt of your answer of the 29th, to think, in a matter of so great and vital importance to me and my family, that you should so coolly inform me that the trustees have appointed that committee from their own members, and that the meeting should have been appointed in such a place and at such a time. I wish you to say to Dr. Torsey that if he chooses to proceed I f 1 �5 ! THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. y / h~ I ' 133 iu this sad and heart-rending case in that manner, self-respect forbids me to take any action before a committee which I have no voice in selecting.” If the object of this investigation was really to bring out all the facts possible in this sad case of the departure and death of Miss Greene, and to ascertain if Dr. T., or any one connected with the care and control of that institution, was in any way to blame, and to satisfy the friends of Miss G., and the public, who, to some extent, to say the least, believe that a great wrong was done by some one, then every possible means should have been taken to give her parents and friends a fair hearing. An entirely disinterested committee should have been selected ; a proper time and place should have been agreed upon ; all parties should have had ample time to prepare for the hearing. Then the public would have placed con­ fidence in their decision. It would have allayed the excitement. My objection to the committee was that they all were members of the trustees, directly interested to sustain their teachers and the school. The trustees consist of twenty-six gentlemen, scattered over the State, most of them belonging to the Methodists, and selected as interested persons, who are expected to work for th‘e interest of this school. Two of those trustees belong to, and are the leading spirits of that faculty, namely, H. P. Torsey, and F. A. Robinson, who is a brother to Torsey’s wife. The reader will now see how this matter stands. Dr. T. and some of his associates are accused of dealing under prejudice, unjustly and wrongfully, with an old student laboring under public censure. This man (who, by reference to their annual catalogue you will see, stands at the head of the list of Trustees as President) seeks to clear himself. He goes to his friends to their annual State Conference holden at Bath. He there makes a smooth speech, wherein he alludes to this affair. He has well matured what he wished to say, to arouse the whole conference to defend and sus­ tain the reputation of that school. After alluding to attacks which some would make, or had made, of this affair to injure this school, he, in substance, says, speaking to the conference, “ This school is your school; its reputa­ tion is yours to sustain and defend.” Wasn’t this well put to the members of that conference, who were to go forth to their respective appointments, and each would be expected to work for this their pet institution? The reputation of their school is at stake, — his reputation is at stake, — and this cunning old fox expects that, through this conference of ministers, the members, on their respective charges, will also labor for the school; and, when they do that, they must also sustain him and his reputation. The public will see whether I am correct or not. Robinson says, at an informal meeting held at Bath a few weeks since, “ The committee was i J �134 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. indicated.” It is fair to suppose that this informal meeting took place soon after this speech of Torsey’s ; and it is also fair to suppose that he or his special friends managed to get such a committee as he wished selected. As this gentleman, S. R. Bearce, of whom I have before spoken, was one of this committee, I could not expect justice from him, who had given so hasty and decided au opinion in advance of any trial; and, further, as one of the leading members of tUs committee had already appeared, through a public journal, in a lengthy article in Torsey’s defence, aud the manage­ ment of this institution. My objection to the time and place was, that it was on the day of, and one hour after, the anniversary exercises were advertised to commence; w hen and where it must be all excitement and hurry for the next two days, — when and where the very air is tainted with and every breath is expected to be blown for Torsey and this institution. Some of their friends have given this as a reason or excuse for their neg­ lect to look after and take care of my daughter, because of the approach­ ing anniversary, two'weeks ahead, — that the faculty were so much engrossed in preparation for the same. In one year they invite me to an investiga­ tion just as the opening exercises commence, when the time of the faculty must be nearly all taken up in the performances. All must see that they, the faculty, meant no such searching investigation as is reported that they had. I must have occupied two days, at least, to have fairly presented my case to the committee. Was this a proper time’to investigate the cause of the death of my child? Was this a public or private investigation? By the notice I received I supposed it was to be public. I am informed by one who . made numerous inquiries that day, on the Hill, of various students and others, about such a hearing, that he found but one person, and that was a lady student to whom I had written about the meeting, who had any knowledge that such an investigation was to be had ; and by the way this man Torsey, — who pretends and testified before this committee how long it was before he knew L. had gone so publicly on the stage as to be seen from the college to get on to it at ten o’clock in the forenoon, in front of his house, and who was so indifferent or undecided as to wait until six o’clock at night before any one started to notify me,— could watch and know that this lady student had received a letter from me, and was so impertinent as to go to this student (who was to graduate the next day, and just then would feel a great hesitancy to deny his request), and ask her for that letter, which he took immediately and read before this committee, as I am informed. It is evident that he did not understand the reason of that letter being sent her at that time. I leave him to enjoy all the credit which he will gain in that trans- » f I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. .V ■ 135 action. At the special time and place, and when the trustees and com­ mittee were assembled, one gentleman present, on motion and by vote, was allowed to remain while the investigation proceeded ;tlic other gentle­ man was questioned as to who he was, where he belonged, and what his business was there. A motion was made to exclude him; but, before that motion was put, it was suggested that the motion had better not be put, as the gentleman would understand and would withdraw without being voted out. This gentleman then said he understood this to be a public meeting; if so, he should remain ; if private, he would withdraw. They said many other things about some other business to be done before they proceeded with the investi­ gation. At the suggestion of the trustees he finallj' withdrew. Subsequently at about six o’clock at night he was notified that he could attend at that ad­ journed meeting. Query: Was this a public or private investigation? Twill call it mongrel. But this gentleman tells me it was certainly intended to be private. With Torsey and his special friends as witnesses, what other result and report could the public expect than what has appeared in some of the public journals ? To what extent this has allayed the public feeling, and relieved Torsey and his associates from blame, I am unable to say. To show the unfairness of this transaction, suppose I had selected a committee of my friends, .nd had appointed some public day for a hearing at my house in Peru, and then, about one week before the hearing, notified Torsey to be present, and make such defence for himself and associates as he chose, in regard to their doings and my daughter leaving the school. How would he and his associates have treated such r proposition? But I am aware that the trustees may say “ Mr. Greene was no party to this transaction. We were only investigating the doings of our teachers or faculty at our school. One of our members wrote and invited him to be present, etc. He has no right to complain of our action.” If they choose to treat this matter (the cause of the death of my child) in that way, they can do so. I can only say, if this was their case they might look upon such action in a different light; they might think this was treading on delicate ground. You are interested to sustain this school; you were selected as such to work for and to sustain its reputation; and when you attempt to investi­ gate the cause of my child fleeing from your principal, and to an untimely death, you should do it fairly, and not rely upon your own faculty’s statement and other interested witnesses to fully justify and exonerate them in this sad case. There is not a member of ibis faculty or trustees, or an intelligent person in any community, who would refer the smallest matter in dispute to such interested referees. There is not v. lawyer to bo found so void of fairness as to advise a client to attempt or accept such a �136 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. proposition. It seems to me that Dr. Torsey’s course, in this attempt to clear himself, in so unfair and unjustifiable a manner, in so grave and ■wretched an affair, is enough to convince the public that he wofully wronged, and wickedly neglected to care for our child. If it was not so he would not have made such desperate efforts to clear himself from public censure. Was there anything done to save her? Oh I her bitter words in her letter: “ If I could have had an opportunity on the Hill to retrieve the past! If this thing had not been made common talk and public property, there might have been a future for me.” These words ought to wring in Torsey’s ears while he lives. He made this appear so to her. He says he told her the school knew it; and his urging her to go home in disgrace, to leave that day, — this, no doubt, is what she means by not having an opportunity on the Hill to retrieve the past. Again she writes: “ They tried to make me account for all the little things lost during the term.” When they, as Miss Case said they did, searched that little fancy trunk, holding about a quart, were they looking for articles of clothing in that ? Were they not trying to make her account for all the lost articles lost that term? and, were they not disgracing, abusing, and driving her to distrac­ tion, when they, as Mrs. Daggett told me, examined her person, and • the uuder-clothes she had on, so-far as to see that her chemise was? marked with her own name? Mr. Daggett admitted to me that, when he was called in to assist his wife and Miss Case in this examination (as I sup­ pose after they had exhausted their skill and abuse on my poor girl), he questioned her about two linenjiandkerchiefs; he would not say that he was cross and severe on her; but I have very good reasons to believe that he was severe beyond reason. In his testimony before the committee of trustees he would not say that he was not cross with her. Have they found those small articles which they wrongfully accused L. of taking, but did not find, after pursuing her and her sister to the shameful extent to which they did? -Why do Torsey and Robinson con­ tinue to harp about that skeleton key? They told us in that faculty meeting that they did not accuse her of using it wrongfully. She,, in her class letter, says: “ My having that key did look bad; but I do not believe that they really thought I used it wrongfully. I certainly never did.” When I called on Daggett to see that skeleton key, he and his wife said they never saw or knew anything about the key until L. left. The faculty said they said nothing personally to her about the key. but had told students, publicly, that if any of them should have in their possession such keys, and things should be lost, they would be suspected. Why lecture students publicly, if the having a skeleton key was an unheard- I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT KORN. r- 137 of event, and the keeping of one such a crime as to cause them to write continually about it to enlarge her crime? They well knew it is no uncom­ mon thing in this and other schools for students to have such keys. An old student at this school told me they should not have thought it any harm to have kept one as a curiosity; and yet, L. having one in her possession. . (although given to her by one of their own students, of which Mrs. Dag­ gett gave me the name of the giver) is spread abroad by Torsey and Robinson, both private and public, as a heinous offence, — a crime. They not only tried to impress upon her, this poor distracted girl, “the enormity of her crime” (Miss Case’s own language), but they try to “impress” tho public with the same. That key I have never been able to find. In that faculty meeting, one week after L. had left, and our fears were that she was dead, he (Torsey) seemed desirous to know what we were going to say about the matter, — thought it best for us to say but little in regard to the same. Yes; this unfeeling man thought we could lose our child in such a heart-rending manlier and say but little about it, while he and bis associates send broadcast over the State all kinds of stories. We must be­ lieve all they say, take all his insulting letters, let them connive to get up student committee’s reports and trustee committee’s reports, publish and send them over the State, and her friends not say a word. Does it look as Robinson writes, “ after as private an examination as possible,” when Chestina and Mr. Chandler, who came home with her, knew all; Mr. Swagler tells L. the morning she left he knew all; Miss Case takes all hei class, before L. left that morning, and tells them all; Torsey tells her that morning the school know it? Is it true that they kept it as private as pos­ sible, or was it not making it public ? I never accused him of publicly rep­ rimanding her before the school. This sly, cunning man has a different way, I think, to accomplish his ends. But his often and repeated denial of doing so has of late led me to think that something of that kind was done by him. I submit to the public if I have not shown him to have been her enemy for • a long time. At any rate, she looked upon him as such, and a revengeful one, too. Does not this pursuing their d,ead student, to disgrace her mem­ ory and to injure her friends, show that Louise well understood that man? Did she not understand his power and will to do, to accomplish his object? If anyone doubts his infallibility, then private and public indignation mustbe aroused against them. They are not content with the death of their pupil, who made immediate, full, frank confession and restitution, and atoned with her life for that small offence ; but even now it comes to me that they threaten, if I dare defend my child’s character from numerous mis­ representations set afloat, that they will further disgrace her memory and I �1 138 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. injure her friends. Therefore we or the public need not be surprised at any stories or any means they may take to accomplish that end. In the lan­ guage of their circulars, can “Parents feel assured that their sons and daughters will find here a safe and pleasant home ” ? Sarah Dow, one of L.’s class, tells me lately that Miss Case, the precep­ tress, on the morning of May 23, before Louise left, called all the class into her room in the college, and told them all about the affair, and said she could tell them now ; she had not had liberty to do so before. Then some­ body must have given her liberty to publish all to her class. Who but the faculty could do so, of which Torsey is chief ? This must be about the time T. was talking with L., and telling her the school knew it. Did Miss Case know that she would be expelled? It does look like that; or she would not have been telling all to them unless she was preparing them for that event, reporting all in such a manner as to make it look; as Miss Fuller expressed it, “ so large then to us.” It is clear to my mind that this one of the .leading spirits of the faculty then knew as well as Torsey that she would be expelled. The reader will see that, any way which they can explain it, they did not mean to spare her feelings or save her from disgrace. My poor girl knew it well. One other member of her class writes me, June, 1867, that Miss Case did, on that fatal morning, “ immediately after breakfast, call our class into her room ” (the quick eye of dur poor girl no doubt saw this movement, and quickly divjned her intention) ; ” and the principal object, she said, that she had, in calling us into her room, was to tell us her course in regard to the matter from the beginning, and also to tell that L. confessed the charges brought against her.” Then her first object was to explain and clear herself. (The others were also very ready to do that.) The next object was to publish her private confession to all the class.' Why, in the name of all that is good and noble, did not this preceptress, who should have acted the motherly, or at least a friendly, part, and extend her protecting care over all she in part presides over, those whom she is directing and controling, — why, instead of making all so public and to explain her course to others, did she not, the evening before, go to my lone, distressed, and dis­ tracted child, and speak words of encouragement and comfort to her troubled mind, and give her kindly advice, to see if she did not want some assist­ ance? Benjamin Hamman told me, at his house on Kent’s Hill, May 26, three days after’ L. had gone, that just before he started for the depot with his coach, on which she rode away, he heard something of her trouble, and knew by her looks that she was feeling bad, although she tried to keep up J 'X- �1 THE CEOWN WON BUT NOT WORN. t" 139 favorable appearances, and saw she was clad in old apparel, and that she was taking nothing with her but a little reticule. His fears were excited for her safety, and while disposing, at the depot, of the baggage and CXpress matter, he thought he ought to get on to the train and go to see what became of her, but could not think of any one to take charge of his stage team. He thought he would gain time, and, if possible, before the train started, go and talk with her. Just as he got through, he started to go to her- on the platform. As soon as she saw him coming towards her, she turned and went directly into the cars, and, as they were about to start, he did not pursue. He then learned that she had purchased a ticket for Lewiston; and, on his return to the Hill, meeting Miss Reed on the street, she says, on speaking of her sudden departure without taking her baggage, and in her ordinary clothing, and fearing the sad result liable to follow, he was affected to tears,—he saying, at her request, that he would take a team and go with Chestina to Lewiston, in pursuit of Louise. If this arrangement or request of Miss Reed had immediately been put into execution (and I have no doubt but what it would have been had Dr. Torsey been out of the way, where he could not have been consulted), she doubtless would have been saved, as about three hours would have taken them to Lewiston, where Louise remained more than four hours at the Elm House after a team could have been started by Mi-. Harriman to pursue her. There can be but little doubt but Torsey’s influence prevented Miss Reed’s attempt to get a team started to pursue her. Miss Recd says, after the long and wretched delay, in which she and Cl|estina got all out of patience, heart-sick, in waiting - until six o’clock at night, when the team came to take Chestina home, she felt as if it was too late to save her; that before that team could reach me and I could get to Lewiston, she would get be­ yond our reach, or, what she more feared, would bo dead. An old student informs us at our home that Louise was once, in his and in the presence of the assembled school, at prayers, severely reprimanded by one of the faculty, because she did not rise during singing; and after she had given as a reason for not rising that she was sick and unable to stand up, he, with harsh and ungentlemanly language, calling her by name, sent her to her room. Louise had told her mother of the same, and said she felt so sick during prayers that she could not stand. This was some time during the last year of her stay at that school. Dr. Torsey, at one time after prayers, while lecturing the students, and in a slurring manner, called her by name in regard to some small matter about leave of absence, all tending to show their prejudice and desire to wound her feelings. The student above referred to told us of a case which, to Iris mind, was clear, w here I �140 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. Torsey, on account of the religious sentiments or opinions of a student, ■— an able writer, one who was excluded from, and was not allowed a chance to compete for, distinction in composition, on account of his well-known religious opinions, which came in contact with the established religion of this school, — a great outburst of indignation was expressed against an argu­ ment which this student made in their lyceum, on the affirmative of the question, “ Whatever is, is right." He was talked to and his arguments ridiculed. Ever after he was not allowed a fair chance as a writer or de­ bater in the school. Another student writes me, and among other things, speaking of Torsey, says: “ In fact, I do not admire his religious belief, neither do I admire the gentleman, not because of any particular individual misusage, but sim­ ply did not like his way of acting towards those who d*d not believe as ho would choose to have them. I noticed it on several occasions, and others with me in that manner of thinking. It is my private opinion that he has his favorites, and that those favorites are favored, though in a sly way.” Dr. Torsey is only a man possessed of human nature, and is as liable, when in a strait place, to dissemble and deny what he did do, as others have done to screen themselves from blame. If a guilty person says he is innocent, will that answer if all the circumstances point the other way? If a man threatens to burn your buildings, and he is proved to have been out and near your place the night they are burned, with materials to fire them, his denial will not clear him from suspicion. If you are aroused in the night by some one who has stealthily entered your house, you make a vigorous and successful spring at and finally overpower him; and if he sould say he was tired, cold, and came in to get .lodging for the night, would you believe him, if he was armed with a revolver, dirk, and other deadly weapons? Judge and jury would infer his motives, — he would be held as a burglar. I find, on the 23d of May, 1866 (after my daughter had for the past thirty-six or forty hours been implicated, harassed, and pursued by those under Dr. T.’s control and direction), Dr. Torsey taking her alone in a room in the college, and having a long conversation with her; and, on bis leaving her, I find her without saying a word to any other person in that building, immediately taking off. her gold sleeve-buttons, her class ring, breaking from her neck a small cord on which she had long worn that very little key which opened that fancy trunk, and evidently, at this time, hastily writing those words on the lap of an envelope, “ Heart breaking; dearly beloved, adieu,” and tucking them into her diary, which she left in n A; �XT I the CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 1 141 her trunk. I find her going to her sister’s room, in another house, in an excited state of mind. Failing to see her, she writes a short note, telling her she was going to Lewiston, etc. I find her leaving money in Her trunk, and going in her poorest apparel, taking notlung of importance with her. I find her taking the- stage in front of TorSey’s house, at ten in the fore­ noon. I find him in his stable, which is attached to his house. Before twelve he is notified just how she left, and the great fear of her destruction made known to him. I find him parleying, delaying, consuming time, — saying be could or would do this, that, or the other thing, but doing noth­ ing to recover her for eight long hours after her departure. I find him tell­ ing her sister it would not have been best for her to have gone on to the stage, etc., and telling Miss Recd that. L. said she wanted it kept from the school,—she stay and graduate, — and that she told him if she could not graduate, there was no future for her; thus plainly indicating to him her awful fate. I find him writing me various things about her leaving, telling us things inconsistent with what he has written, and withholding things from us, which he had told others, about her leaving. J find her writing her sister the daj* she left, that Dr. T. advised her to leave that day. I find him long before telling her she could not expect any more favors of him or of the school; and if she should do anything that looked like a wil­ ful violation of any rule, she could expect but little forbearance from the teachers. I find she had confessed, privately, to three of them, just what and all she had done, and the reason why she had done so, excepting the money, — she gave no reason for that. I find her writing that she felt her­ self guilty of but one crime, — the talcing of the money, — and saying that was a mystery to her. At length her wasted form is discovered. With all this, and many other petty annoyances, with his well-known prejudice, I have a right to doubt his, and the other inconsistent statements coming from that faculty. I, and the public, have a right to infer and judge, under all the circumstances of this sad case, what was most likely said and done which sent her to an untimely death. And when I find him writing me, May 27, 1866, four days after she left, “ I had a long conver­ sation with her the morning she left, and urged upon her two things.” After stating the first, he says, — second, “ that she go at once to her father and mother.” Does that look like allowing her to graduate, within twelve days, when he was urging her to go at once home to her parents, in disgrace? Who will say he expected her to return and graduate? And when he writes me, June 30, 1866, “ She was not sent home,”—he saw that was too bare faced a lie, and he erased the words “ sent home,” and wrote the word “ expelled” over them, making the sentence read, — “Sho I �142 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. was not expelled.” Judge ye. whether this statement is true! I cannot see it in that light, when she writes that he said, “ We won’t call it expulsion, hut I advise you to go home to-day.” What in the name of Heaven was he doing but expelling her? God being my judge, I believe he is attempting to palm off upon me an absolute falsehood. And can he make the public believe that he was honest when he told Chestina and Miss Reed that he had no fears of her destruction? Is he more dull of apprehension than many students who greatly feared for her fate as soon as they knew how she had gone? He who knew her best, hei' sensitive nature, knew all about how she had gone, has no fears, tells about her going into a factory or running away. O consistency I He is a sharp, shrewd man, and thinks he can readily read characters, discern motives, and quickly anticipate re­ sults. Don’t tell me he did or could not understand what would most likely be the result. Under all the circumstances and evidences, I have come to the following conclusion, and from which I cannot retract, un­ less some new evidence shall be disclosed: — That as he (Torscy) found that he could not control and mould her opinions, and as she would not consent to his infallibility, he became prejudiced against her, — her influ­ ence, religiously, did not suit him, she not being with them heart aud soul (as he expressed it),— this annoyed and perplexed him much; and now, when he found she was in trouble, he thinks, I now have a good opportunity. Miss Greene, I will make you feel my power. I will so manage as to make you see that you have no chance to graduate, without saying so in ’so many words. (I do not believe he ever told any student so ; he has a dif­ ferent way of accomplishing his purpose.) I will, when I get you to see the hopelessness of your case, advise you to leave. Before your parents know anything about your trouble, you will be far away, as they may make trouble. This will disgrace you, and will also punish your father for his plain and pertinent letter to me two years ago. You will live through it, I think, — he not caring or thinking but little what would become of her. After she had gone, and when he found just how, and all about her leaving, he, at a glance, saw the serious turn the case was taking, and the result that would be likely to follow; he was greatly perplexed to know how to manage, or what to say or do. Hence his pretence that he did not know she was gone for some time. Then he hesitates, argues, delays, goes away; comes again, and tells what he had arranged to do; and then there is another two or three hours’ delay before he puts that airangement into execution. He saw the fix he would be in if Harriman and Chestina had immediately pursued and been successful in secui-ing her return, or saving her life. She would have confronted him before her friends, and said, .r'~- �r 1 UTE CROWN WON' BUI NOT WORN. 143 ■“ Yon sent me away in disgrace, and why do you pursue me ? ” This meet­ ing her and her friends he wished to avoid. Hence his neglect to pursue her, and his long delay to notify me, so as to give her time to escape be­ yond the reach of friends, or that the result might be as it was, before any one could reach her and save her life. If her crime had been a hundred-fold greater, so much-greater the neces­ sity and the responsibility resting upon him. He discloses to us his wicked deception most when he tries to make students and-others believe he loved her, was tender of her feelings, aud felt bad about her misfortune and death, when everything showed to the contrary. This outward appearance he attempts for effect. So is his great effort to be particularly kind to the students since this awful tragedy. He knows his reputation is at stake, and he needs all the friends which he can make ; and I have no doubt but what many have been the favors that students have received on account of the suffering and death of our poor girl. This man has been at the head of that school so long that in my opinion he has become arbitrary and overbearing. Authority and power for a long time makes men so. If he is that good and noble man, that kind and Christ-like Christian, some would have the public believe, why does he pursue this vindictive course towards her parents ; why write me his insulting letters? It cannot be any­ thing that I have written him, for the reader has seen every word I have written him since L. left, in those two letters before given. Parents who shall read this, were it your child, should you be willing to bear all we have and not say a word? No, you would not only say, but you would have all you could do to keep your hands off of him. It may be with all those who dealt so summarily with L. on the Hill, that their character from child­ hood up could stand such an ordeal as they are applying to hers, and each and all come out unscathed; it maybe so, with that committee of students, and with Dr. Torsey; but a close examination might disclose the fact that all have not escaped having some unfavorable reports circulated about them, at some period of their lives. One of my neighbors (kindly, he may have thought) advised me not to come out and make any defence for my child; said that a Methodist min­ ister told his wife that they at Kent’s Hill had fifteen counts against her,— fifteen thefts as he took it to be; and I have no doubt but thousands are made to believe such stories. If that be true then I have over sixty just such counts against them, besides the cash, post-office stamps, clothing, and various other articles lost there during the five years and previous to those lost the last term. I sought through the press to give our child in death the benefit of her I �lI 144 THE CROWN WON.BUT NOT WORN. previous good character, by publishing those numerous certificates, and strong proofs of her ever good standing and moral worth from a child up to this sad affair, not saying a word about or blaming any one in regard to her leaving and subsequent death. A large portion of the press (as I believe for fear of losing the patronage of this Kent’s Hill influence and that denomination,) refused to publish those statements or certificates of her previous good moral character. The publication of those certificates in some of the papers seemed to stir up this faculty and their friends everywhere to fresh attacks on her character; they seem to act as if they thought their only chance to escape public censure was to stigmatize her previous character, enlarge upon her last act, and make her crime appear so large that, they would be justified in them treatment to her, and they take shelter under thdir cry of “ Thief, thief.” The refusal of so large a portion of the press to publish those certificates, and the publishing of the other side by some of the papers, leaves me no alternative but to seek some other source to reach the public, and vindicate her previous character, and to show the great wrongs done her while living, and since she fled from that institution. * The friends of Dr. T. may say as did the friends of Prof. Webster of Boston, in the Parkman murder case, — “ Oh! he is so nice a man ; his repu­ tation stands so high; he is clear; he never did that act. He says be did not, and denies all knowledge of the crime, — the whole affair ; and you ought to believe him. Why, Prof. Webster has not murdered, has not cut up, boiled, or burnt his victim’s remains. That is horrible! too bad to think of in this Christian land.” And people would look at each other with astonishment when some expressed their belief that it was true. Yet it was so. And this grave professor denied and lied at every turn in his case until he found he must swing for it. Then, he owned and confessed all. And so it has been in a thousand cases. None can tell what man pos­ sessed of- human nature will do under bad circumstances. The reader can never realize how grateful we feel towards those of her class who asked Miss Reed to go to Torsey and see what could be done ; and to Miss Reed, for her efforts and earnest desire to get Harriman and Chestina started immediately after her. And our abhorrence and contempt for this modem Nero, who could fiddle, play upon words to consume time, prevent pursuit, while our poor child, heart-broken, was fleeing from him (who then stood in the place of, and should have extended parental pro­ tection to her), from all that was dear to her on earth, and going to destruction. I can now, as it were, hear’ the moans, the sobs, coming up from that I r I I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 145 lonely forest, where our darling child so terribly perished. Her dying wail, saying to that heartless man, “ You saw me in great distress and you ministered not unto me ; you saw me in trouble, and you took me not in; you knew of my terrible disappointment, my heart-rending feelings, — for I told you I could not go home to my parents in disgrace. I told you if I could not graduate, there was no future for me. You advised me to leave. You sent me heart-broken to an untimely death, when you could have saved me. When you come v.p to the judgment-seat, where you and I shall stand around that great white throne, and before Him who kuows all things, will you then and there attempt to excuse yourself to the Judge of all, as you did to my parents, and say, ‘Your daughter was of age, and I had no right to control her; she was under censure, and it would be un­ proper to have sent her to my house and to my wife ’ ? ” Torsey and her other accusers on the Hill may have religion, but, I pray God to give me a different kind of religion, — a religion which shows some of the precept and examples taught by Christ while upon earth. In laying before my readers some of our departed child’s writing, permit me to state, that the first piece given was written by her when less than ten years old, the first she ever wrote, and then will follow others written all the way along from ten to sixteen, before she went to Kent’s Hill, with some written after and while she was attending there ; but as a large portion of her writings are lost there with her other things, .we cannot give some of her ablest productions to the public, unless they shall be restored to us. LIBERTY. Everything that God has made loves liberty. The little birds that sing so merrily to us, when deprived of liberty, lose their cheerfulness, and often pine away and die. The lambs that sport so gayly in the green fields, when confined, bleat piteously and seem to say, let me go; aud even the little worm that crawls beneath our feet, when confined to a narrow space, shows discontent. If liberty then be so dear to the animal creation, how much more so must it be to God’s intelligent beings 1 And how great must be the sin of those who deprive their fellow-beings of that liberty they so highly prize themselves, and also take away the key of knowledge that they may better subject them to bondage! HOW WE SPENT INDEPENDENCE DAY, 1857. Every one said Independence day would be pleasant; and so it was. Every one intended to enjoy themselves to the best of their ability, myself 10 �r 146 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. among the number. A thousand schemes for pleasure were proposed, and finally it was unanimously agreed that a visit to Rumford Falls would be just the thing, away from the bustle and confusion attendant upon a crowded celebration, away from the crowded street and the vulgarity and drunkenness that usually characterize such a miscellaneous gathering, to that scene of rural beauty. Accordingly six o’clock A.M. found us on our way to that delightful place, in company with a few of our intimate friends and school-mates. The day was warm and pleasant; the tall trees waved their leafy branches above our heads ; the tiny birds warbled their morn­ ing songs, and all nature seemed to participate in our enjoyment. After riding about eight miles, a loud rumbling sound gave notice of our approach to the cataract. Leaving our teams a short distance, we walked up to the very brink of the precipice which overhung the water, when a magnificent sight lay beneath our feet. The verdant hue of the overhanging trees • blended with the deep blue waters as they foamed and dashed down their rocky bed; the everlasting mountains that proudly rear their lofty heads in the distance ; the clear blue sky over our heads ; and the fancifully woven carpet of green grass spread out beneath our feet, — all these and many other attractions formed a picture worthy of a painter’s skill. Beneath the wide-spreading branches of a noble tree, where a spring of clear cold water bubbled up from the rock below to’ quench our thirst, we seated our­ selves to rest, and also to partake of the various refreshments provided for us. » After enjoying a quiet chat and a good lunch, we took a last look of that charming spot, and soon were rapidly travelling on the homeward way, stopping, however, a short time at the house of one of our number, where we were entertained with a feast of good things. The old family clock struck six as we arrived home again, and methinks in the future, when we look back upon the days that are past and gone, our minds will delight to linger upon the remembrance of that happy Independence day. LIFE: WHAT IS IT? What is life ? — to some, " a breath, A vapor flying to the skies; ” To others, a gay, fantastio path Bestrown with flowcry phantasies. What is life? — a dream to those Who idly stray until its end; A drcam, upon whoso final olose A sad awakening shall attend. I J f 1 1 �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 14.7 What is life ? — a journey long And drear, trhen travelled all alone, But vrhen companions cheer tho wny, Ono upon which wo long would stay. What is life? — a darksome night, With but ono star to light tho gloom, And on Death’s wing wo take our flight, To dwell ’ncath Heaven’s unclouded sun. Peru, Dec. 24, 1859. THOUGHTS BY THE WAYSIDE. “ O Mr. B., it seems too bad to cut down that clover,” said I to our hired man, one sultry summer day, as he was busily engaged in mowing down the fragrant clover that lifted its tall heads, crowned with beautiful blossoms in our little enclosure. “ Why ? ” queried he. “ Because it smells so sweetly and looks so pretty.” “ Its beauty will soon fade,” he replied, resuming his labor. I, too, turned again to my work, but his thoughtless words had awakened a train of thought in my mind; and in fancy I again beheld the counte­ nance of a lovely maiden with whom I associated in my early school-days, and whose history I well knew. Hers was a beauty of the regal cast': wavy hair of purplish blackness, flashing black eyes, a form of stately beauty, and fair, round face, every feature of which was cast in beauty’s mould. An enviable lot was hers; the only daughter of an aristocratic family, her wish was law ; her pleasure, their chief aim to secure. Petted and indulged by her parents, flattered by her associates, to her life must have worn a cheerful look, and earth a paradise. But soon the scene changed. Pecuniary embarrassments swept away her father’s fortune, and with it went most of their fashionable friends. Death came and removed one after another of that family band, till parents, brothers, all were gone. She was almost penniless and alone in a great city. Alas I too truly had she learned the mutability of earthly enjoyments; and, as I recalled the story of her misfortunes, I thought of the farmer’s words, “ It will soon fade.” Gone were her wealth and her numerous friends and relatives,—her earthly all, faded and withered beneath the sharp scythe of time. Again, I see a young man, his cheeks flushed with ambition of youth, and eyes sparkling at the thought of the future glory that should be his ; of the wealth he would gain and the fame that should surround his name with a halo of glory. Again I saw him in riper manhood; he had gained that emolument for which he toiled. Wealth had come at his call, yet it L 2 �148 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. brought increased cares. Ambition had raised him to an equality with great men of his age ; but it brought no real happiness. He was blessed with a model wife and family to sympathize with him in affliction and to rejoice at his joy; yet mingled with pure affection was much dross. He had reached the summit of the hill, and now enjoyed the world’s favor; yet one thing was wanting; without it, true happiness cannot exist. He had sought it in pleasure, but it was not there; in riches, but found it not; in fame, but the search proved useless; in the busy walks of fashion he found it not; neither did it dwell in the halls of literature and art. De­ spairingly he turned away, thinking that true happiness dwelt not on earth, when his eyes rested on a humble volume lying on the shelves of his book­ case. It was old and faded, and bore marks of neglect by the dust which had gathered thickly upon its lids. Thinking to beguile a few moments, he listlessly opened the book, and the first passage which met his eye read thus ; “ Come unto me, all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you regt.” Rest! was not this the treasure for which he had searched long and diligently, but found it not? Rest for the weary and heavy laden; was he not wearied with toil and cares?—heavy laden with burdens of anxiety ? Instantly he resolved to seek that rest, to obtain that peace in the way which the Bible pointed out. He was this time successful in his search. By slow but sure degrees his mind began to comprehend the true end of life, — to see that not man’s but God’s favor must be sought, ere the longings of his immortal spirit could be satisfied. And when this was done, when the barriers of pride and sin were removed, and the light of religion shone upon his soul, his cup of happiness was full to overflow­ ing. Did our Saviour call home his darling child ? He could look with an eye of faith up to that blessed land where sorrow and suffering come no more, and behold his child among the angel band which dwells at the right hand, of our Father, and rejoicing in his smiles. Did men scorn and despise him? Turning to God’s holy word, he reads, “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile and persecute you.” And when the death-angel came knocking at the door of his soul, he could say, with the inspired prophet, “ Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thy rod and Thy staff will comfort and sustain me.” Such piety, like fruitful seed planted in fertile soil, grows and expands, choking out each obnoxious weed, till, transplanted, it blooms forever in more congenial climes. Sorrow and disappointments may overwhelm -us; friends may depart and enemies exult in our distress ; every earthly pleasure may wither and fade, as the morning dewdrop from the grass, or as the grass itself sinks / I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 119 beneath the sharp scythe of the mower; yet with religion for our support, we shall safely tread the mazy labyrinth of life, and finally repose in that land of the blest, where sickness shall come no more, and where enjoy­ ments are eternal and unfading. LINES. I sat within my chamber, Ono cold and wintry night; Around mo winds wero blowing, And tho moon refused her light. And as I sat there thinking Of tho lovo that onco was mine, Of tho friend, who, in life’s morning, Was cut down, by tho band of Timo,— !

Night is gathering round us, twilight veils the sky; Whispering winds are telling spring is drawing nigh. Birds are flying northward, in angolio notes Music sweet is swelling from thoir little throats; Calling to each other in the early morn, Waking us poor mortals oro ’tis fairly dawn; Graceful little creatures, fairy-like and gay, Harbingers of summer, everywhere are they. I From the earth uprising, robed in brightest greon, Clothing earth in beauty, tho springing grass is seen; Trees once bare and ragged, angular and slim, Beneath spring’s genial influence, soon will look quite trim. Cedar, spruce, and hemlock, soon you’ll charm no more, Budding oak and maple will eclipse you soon; All nature stirring round us, all earth with life replete, Proclaims that earth is waking from her long winter’s sleep. > These arc but a small portion of her early writings. I would have been glad to have given the public the story written by her at the age of twelve years, but the length of’the same, prevents it. I give these as samples to show the drift of her youthful mind. The next is an account of her first start for Kent’s Hill, in 1861, the day she left home. A LEAF FROM MY JOURNAL. Tuesday, Jifarch 12, 1861. — This morning we left our pleasant home for a sojourn among strangers. The sky was clear and bright, and gave I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. -r 151 promise of a pleasant day, and the air was just sharp enough to send tho • blood dancing through every vein, giving clearness and vigor to both body and mind. Leaving home is usually an unpleasant affair to us, but We had looked forward so long and so eagerly to this journey that its approach was a signal for rejoicing. What if we icere going among entire strangers ? wo should soon get acquainted ; if we did not, ’twas no matter. We knew we should like, and started in the best of spirits. A journey of so much importance must have some remarkable incidents. Ours first happened in this way. On our way to R. it became necessary to cross the Androscoggin river on the ice, which was rather a hazardous pro­ ceeding. We got along well enough, however, till we reached the farther shore, when crash 1 splash! and the first thing I knew I found myself sit­ ting in not the most graceful attitude in a snow-bank: my companion near by was oh-ing and oh-ing at a great rate, while the big trunk stood on end between u£. Afar off was seen Charley-horse, walking demurely along just as if nothing at all had happened, and no doubt pleased at finding his load so suddenly lightened. At first I could hardly tell how I came there, but on looking towards the river I saw at once that near the shore the ice had suddenly given away, causing the sleigh to plunge down two or three feet, and necessarily throwing us out. Luckily the shore was so near that wo landed on the bank instead of going into the river, for a cold water plungebath would not have been, just at that time, very agreeable. We gatherep up ourselves and accoutrements, and finding nothing damaged (except the ice, which was badly fractured), went on our way rejoicing. (Aly “ Leaf” being covered, I must finish my story another time.) THE ANGEL’S CHOICE. When tho day was finished, and tho starlight Had fallen soft over tho earth, From out tho beautiful cloud-laud The angels were gazing forth. Long they gazed, for our earth was lovely, - With no trace of sorrow or sin; Liko tho radiant bowers of Eden Ere tho serpent bad entered in. But list! for tho silcuce is broken, And forth, with a tiny footfal, Steps one from tho band of seraphs, And soft to tho others sho calls: — “Sisters! of nil the blight things That unto mankind aro given, * ! �M - 152 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. Which would you choose to dwell in, If earth was your homo, and not heaven ? ” “ In a cascade bright and sparkling,” Said one of the laughing elves; “ Or, down ’mid the coral islands, Whore tho giant sea-monsters dwell.” "In a rose, that all might love me; In a diamond, that I might enduro; ” But tho first angel spoke up quickly,— “In a snow-flake, that I might bo pure! ” CHANGE. Tho sunshine would not seem so bright, If there were never storms; Wo greet tho spring with deep delight, Wo hail tho harvesf morns. Wo smile to see the busy boo Sip summer’s golden grains, Yet turn well pleased to homo of ease When white-robed winter reigns. Tho sweet would never seem so sweet If it could always last, And “written language” fail complete, If “spoken” words wore past. Wo lovo our books, yet turn to look On nature’s wido-spread range; For mind and matter too, you’ll find, Seeks everywhere for change. The past is pleasing in our eyes, The present very good; Yet no man lives who would not grasp H is future if ho could.. GONE HOME. With a feeling akin to gladness we utter these words, as one after another of our number goes at the call of duty, or of pleasure, back to the dear home-circle, to mother’s love and friends. But when God calls them up yonder, where the home eternal is, the shadow of the golden gates through which they entered rest darkly on our hearts. In this room, where his voice was so often heard, it is well for us now to i I �THE CBOWN WON BET NOT WOEN. 153 make mention of one who on earth is no more. Will Jones, — he has been with us at many a May walk, and many a festive scene; he has toiled beside us up the rugged hill of science, and made the ascent less wearisome to many a tired traveller. Would he linger then, when motherland called for her loyal sons? They who knew him best were least surprised when he came to the Hill, a soldier, to bid it a final goodrby. For by one of those strange foreshadow­ ings of the future, known only to genius-lighted minds, our friend was sat­ isfied that he would never return. But he had heard the voice of duty, and duty to him was law. On Monday, the 1st of February, the 7th Maine Battery left Augusta for Washington; on Friday, the 5th, it was stationed at Camp Berry, East Capitol Ilill. Then the fever fell upon him and he saw the familiar faces of far-off friends in Maine ; on Kent’s Hill he walked again “ in the old way,” and the “ prayers of our chapel ” were ringing in his ears. On Monday, March 28th, the news of his sickness first reached us and the next Friday he died. Not died,— “ There is no death; what seems so is transition. This life of mortal breath Is but an entranco to tho lifo Elysian Whoso portals wo call death." r Believing this, we may not mourn that only twenty-two short years of earth-life were given to our friend. The school, the great world he would have benefited, the little circle of intimate friends, — a school before unbroken, — may lament their own loss, — his gain. God fitted him for ‘ this life, then gave him life eternal. “ 0 earth, so full of dreary noises ! 0 men, with wailing in your voices ! 0 shining gold, tho waiter's heap ! 0 strife! 0 curse! that o'er it fall, God makes a silence through you all, .And giveth his beloved sleep.” Spring of 18&1. CONSISTENCY. Yes, my friends, believe in youthful enthusiasm; like to have young folks lively; tell them to move quick; be cheerful, and. at the same time inform your nephew he’s going to ruin because he whistles Yankee Doodle, or claps his hand enthusiastically over the speech of Mr. So-and-So. Cry out against despotism and tyranny; have a mortal horror of the Pope of Rome ; hate Catholics, because they are obliged to yield implicit I �154 I HIE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. obedience; cause the eyes of little children to dilate with wonder at your marvellous stories of Blue-Beard, who didn’t torment his friends while living,—but kindly ate them up; but take care to terrify everybody .within the reach of your influence by a series of diminutive despotisms, or irritate them by petty exhibitions of authority. Hake minds your study, that you may do them good (of course), and when you have found their most sensitive spot grasp it with iron fingers. Make jokes; make a thousand of them, and laugh complacently all the while. Tell your friends it’s a fine thing to laugh and be merry; but if a poor, innocent little joke comes unexpected into your presence, annihilate it with a tremendous frown. All this you may do, and more ; but remember “ Precept whispers, while example thunders.” ANNIVERSARY DAYS. And by this term we do not mean those dry intellectual feasts with which college students are supposed to delight their patrons, — such as come to us on the Hill when June comes, let who will be presi­ dent. But we each set apart a few days from life’s common routine, and devote them to the past. Anniversary days! Individuals have them; the nation has them ; and once in a great while God puts a distinguishing mark on some part of his time, and it becomes henceforth an anniversary day for all mankind? We make our anniversaries of vastly different stuff. Some are fine and silken and full of golden gleaming lustre, and when, as time comes round, we bring forth the beautiful garment, it clothes us with joy unspeakable. Then time weaves a gay, flashing garment and we think it will last us for­ ever. But we hang it in memory’s closet, and, lo I all its beauty is gone. There is sombre black in that closet, and we wear it at times next our heart. It is wonderful to think how thickly sown are' the seed of these memory days. May 27th is an anniversary to some, and yesterday afternoon was to how many ? Birthdays are universal anniversaries ; not only our own, but our friends. They have been aptly called mile-stones marking our progress on life’s journey, —a journey where all the travellers are homeward bound. And when the eternal gates are opened to those left behind, there remains only this record, “ Died.” “ And ever in our hearts wo keep The birthdays of the dead.” I �IF 1 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 155 The war has made many anniversaries that all coming time will observe. July 4th and Washington’s birthday seemed about all the nation used to have in common; but now we must add April loth and tho date of the close of the war. Grief here and gladness there formed a bond uniting us all. From tho beginning God saw the need of these great bonds of a common humanity, and so made the Christian Sabbath consecrated to holy memories of his working and his rest and gave us Christmas week, — an anniversary set apart forever as a memorial of what Christ hath done for all mankind.

Tread softly, students, in tlicso halls ! 0 man of business, pause, For a nation bows in sadness now o’er liberty’s dear cause. THo downtrod million of tho earth have, trembling, staked their all; With our success their freedom’s won, and with us, too, they fall. �156 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. While the tramp of gathering thousands is resounding through the lan< And brother mcetcth brother in death-conflict hand to hand, Have wo no duty to perform, — no laurel crown to win ? Shall woman stand with folded hands before this monster sin? You’ve read in history’s pages how, when Freedom’s Sky grow dork, ’Twas lighted up by woman’s faith; —think of Joan d’Aro ! Oh, ne’er was cause more holy, or ne’er could man or maid Moro freely lift the heart to God with hand upon tho blade. For wo fight against injustice, and, in every battle won, Wo have struck a blow for freedom, and a world is looking on; Yet still waters run tho deepest, and ’tis not alone by war That tho greatest good’s accomplished— silent influence's bettor far. ' Let no selfish lovo restrain you, — country first, and then onr friends; What is ono without tho other ? Would you clasp a coward’s hand ? While our brothers toil in battle, wo who stay at homo can pray; And our God, tho God of battles, ho will give tho victory. Few things are more noticeable now than the prevalence of mourning. You cannot stand in any crowded assembly without remarking this. One day on the street you meet smiling faces, —they have come from the post­ office perhaps, and that letter has made their sunshine, — then over the swift wires comes the news of victory, and lo I there passes you a figure in black, coarse black, most likely, — for the pay of a common soldier will not buy fine crape for the mourners. There is no display of sorrow, no pageantry of grief to tell the world, at large, they have lost a friend, — only a quiet changing frbm the gay garb of yesterday to the shadowy one of to-day. Oh, these sad-eyed, pale-faced figures, in black, pass by us more fre­ quently than they did years ago, and in their sorrow lies a deeper meaning 1 What they have lost has been sacrificed for the benefit of a nation; and a nation shares their grief. “ Oh, when tho fight is won, Dear land whom triflers now make bold to scorn, Theo, from whoso forehead earth awaits hor morn, Row nobler doos tho sun Homo in thy sky ! how bravor breathes thy air, That thou hadst children who for theo couldst daro And dio as thine have done I IN MEMORIAM. Sunlight upon a now-mado grave, And turf above the breast Of one who stood among us once, As student and os guest.

God heard; ho always hears tho prayers Of those, whoso lives uro given To country and to him; ho scat Tho eternal light of heaven. Yes, it is well, — let tho sumo old bell, That in tho days gone by Rang out to him tho hours of time, Bing in, —eternity. Who next shall fall for country’s honor 7 Who next shall sleep ’neath tho starry banner! God pity tho rhothers, and pity all Ror whom tho sheen of sunshine shall fall On a vacant chair, a desolate home, And tho now-mado gravo of a friend! BREVITY. Brevity is the soul of wit. It is also the true test of wisdom. Cmsar’s “veni, vidi, vici,” has lived, and will live, because it is short, sharp, and full of meaning. It was Milton — was.it not ?— who being requested to put Christ’s miracle at the marriage-feast into poetry, expressed it all in ono immortal line ? “ Tho conscious water saw its God, and blushed.” People who stayed at home, and made long and loud professions of loyalty, were not apt to be the truest patriots. You remember that sublime verso in Genesis, which describes the creation; “ And God said, let there be light, and there was light.” Do you also recollect how rhetoric speaks of one who thus gives the same idea in many words: “ The Sovereign Ar­ biter of the universe, by the potent energy of a single word, commanded, light to exist, and immediately it sprang into being?” Mark the change. Such “ linked sweetness, lopg drawn out,” is anything but pleasing. Of what avail a long lecture, or sermon, or even prayer, except to weary or disgust the hearer? Religion does not consist in many and high-sounding words ; but is best shown in those little, decisive acts of every-day life. No man ever made his words immortal who did not make them brief. Scripture commands are always short and comprehensive. The Lord's Prayer is short; and no superlluous words can be found in the ten com­ mandments. �158 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. = The shortest verse in the Bible is one of the most affecting. “ Jesus wept!” What could be more touching? The King of Glory mourning over fallen man I -----A FRAGMENT. Past, Present, and Future, — Oh, what is there hero That is worth one regret, one lingering tear? When the summons is given, — 0 spirit, return To the hands of thy Giver — poor wanderer come homo,— Wo mourn not, we weep not, for that whioh is fled; Though our tears fall like rain on tho face of the dead, They are tears for tho living, for those who alono Over life’s weary pathway must still wander on. Yet courage faint heart! to thee comfort is given, For tho dear ones who’vo left us are happy in heaven. Wo shall miss their sweet presence, and yoarn for their lovo, Yet, sometime, God helping, wo’ll meet them above. MYSTERY. There once was a dove, — in her nest, Seven birdlings chirped; and three Were weak as weak could bo; Three strong, — and one tho best And dearest of the seven, Ho plumed his wings for heaven. And tho mother-bird wept. 0 mystery! It is all as sad as sad can bo. ’ Tis a mystery all. •' There once was a ship, — she sailed Where tho tide-waves ebb and flow, And laughed at tho storm; when, lo ! Snapped every sail, rent by tho gale, Bent every most ’noath slavery’s blast; Her future seemed to mook her post. God knows tho fato of our bonnio boat, Tho Union,—will it ever float As before ? To us ’tis a mystery. Whon.oreeds are confused, and in strife Stand tho guides to tho Heavenly Feast, And ho who reads most knows tho ioast Of tho way, — who shall wonder if Life, Young Life, all aglow for tho fight, Bo wearied with waiting for light ? Who shall blamo if it falters, and who if it falls ? Lot God judge. To us ’tis a mystery all, And wo cannot know. Thoro were once two friends, — two friends Who loved each other so, That when God bado ono go, f 0 �F" .THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 159 1 The other prayed, — Oh, send Some token if tho coni That has reached tho heavenly gcal Holds dear to his heart the left behind ! 0 mystery ! yo fools and blind, Yo cannot know. There was once a slender vine, Planted on tho brow of this Hill, And it flourisheth there still, Grown strong. Its tendrils twine Round right; its fruit through all these years Has fallen midst a fall of tears; Wo can but wonder as it grows. Wo ask its future. Well, God knows. To us ’tis a mystery. There’s a stream, ’tis deep and wide; Who near it, oft repine; Who cross it, make no sign When they reach the other side. Dark is the hither shore. Though each one must pass o’er, And fain would know why they must go, And where, and whence its waters flow; ’Tis a mystery all. There were once eight sticks, all found In the Pine-Tree State; somo straight, Some wero crooked, and strange to relate, Sinco they grow on such similar ground; Somo wero bending as willows when breezes blow; Somo unyielding as granite. Now, tell me, who knows, Why they grafted themselves on tho tree of knowledge, And camo m masse to tho Wesleyan College? For to us ’tis a mystery. The following was prepared for her graduation piece in 1866: — THE STUDENT’S REWARD. Since the world began, rewards and punishments have been distributed with an impartial hand by their great Author. The mother smiles approv­ ingly upon the first warm impulse that prompts her little one’s heart to deeds of kindness. The world bows in homage before its own great men; and God himself on those he loves showers blessings. We all look for­ ward to the reward which is to be ours, and choose our life-work according to that which promises most. With the various dispositions of mankind, there must ever be an infinite diversity of tastes; but,— ■I �160 THE CBOWN WON BUT NOT WOBN. Whilo others sing of " Homo, swcot homo,” Or pant for tho battle’s strife, Bo onrs tho pleasing task to toll Tho joys of a student’s life. The mind may be likened to a watch; and the main-spring which keeps all its curious machinery in motion is the love of influence. Nor is this the ignoble passion that it at first appears; for he who aspires to greatness must first make himself worthy of praise. And here, the student’s pre-em­ inence is plainly shown; for those habits of energy, perseverance, close and patient thought, which have been formed in the study-room, will tell forcibly upon the minds of his fellow-men. Wealth may upraise its golden rod and call for worship from the gazing throng; hereditary princes may proudly walk the earth in robes of borrowed greatness; beauty’s potent spell may charm the enraptured senses ; but t “ Ono glanoo of intellect, liko stronger magio, will outshino thorn all.” The more we learn, the more are our capabilities for enjoyment in­ creased. This constant culture is not needed by our grosser natures ; but our tastes adnrit of unlimited improvement. None but a painter’s eye can appreciate the wonderful delineations of a Michael Angelo; and an edu­ cated ear alone can perceive the delicate harmony of our great composers. To the uncultivated, some simple arrangement of colors or of sounds would be more pleasing, because better understood. And then man is an imitative being. As the streamlet takes its coloring from the pebbles over which it flows, so we — by studying the lives and deeds of those whom history delights to honor — are insensibly led to imitate them; and a mind familiar with these lofty examples is ever striving to reach the height their goodness gained. We have only to look about us for exam­ ples of the practical advantages of an educated mind. Ask yourself who among the circle of your acquaintances has the noblest soul, the warmest heart, and the coolest head to guide it, and your own good judgment will point unerringly to him, who in the morning of life laid up for himself treasures of wisdom. To this general rule genius is no exception. ' Goldsmith was loud in expressing his contempt'for mathematics, and his dislike of logic and ethics; he endeavored to persuade himself that learning arid dulness went hand in hand, and that genius was not to be put in harness; says Irving, his gifted biographer, “But looking still further, we find him possess­ ing just such a character as these opinions would, indicate. Having laid no regular and solid foundation for knowledge, he ‘ takes no heed for the - �1 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 1G1 present, or care for the future,’ follows no plan, adopts and rejects these recommended by his friends. At one time prepares for the ministry, next, turns to the law, and then hits upon medicine.” His genius gave him a pleasing style of composition; but his ignorance made him the batt of ridicule among the literary men of his day; and he died of a fever, brought on by anxiety in regard to unpaid debts, extravagantly incurred. Of him it was written by Garrick, — “Hero lies poet Goldsmith, for shortness called Noll, Who vroto like an angel, but talked liko poor Poll.” The pleasure of conquering our tasks is no small part of the student’s reward, and, like partial payments on a note of hand, is given us by fre­ quent instalments as we proceed with the work. One of the strongest, incentives to exertion which human nature is capable of feeling is the hope of being remembered after death. “ Forget me not,” is the heart’s language at all times, and still more earnestly is it uttered when the departing spirit takes its flight to the land of the Great Unimown. And this boon, so earnestly craved by all, to whom is it finally given? History shows us that the learned, the wise, the truly good, are fresh in the peo­ ple’s memory, when prince audr conqueror, court and courtier, have sunk into oblivion, or are known only in the songs of those whoso genius haa rescued them from merited neglect. Yea, fellow-students.— TL'-te thyself worthy, and thy honored namo Shall livo in pictured and in monumental fiimo;Tho stern historian shall thy praises tell, And future generations on thy virtues dwell. I need not here mention that it is our duty to improve the talent God has given us, since his word so plainly commands it. “ Get wisdom,” for “ wisdom is better than riches,” is the language of the inspired Scripture. And Solomon says, “The heart of the wise man secketh after knowledge.” Duty brings its own reward; and, if it were not so, the “ well done ” of an approving conscience is plainly audible to our spirit car. Are other in­ ducements needed to strengthen the student’s laudable purposes? TT/rnt more can be desired? Conscience commends, fame rewards, and more than all, the approving smile of God is ever waiting to crown him with the laurels of success. The two last pieces here given to the public arc the last productions of hers, so far as we have any knowledge. I could fill page alter page with 11 �162 I THE CROWN WON BUI' NOT WORlr. such productions as are here given of her early and later writings ; although a large number were lost with other things at the Hill. We regret the loss of one of her ablest productions, written soon after she went to the Hill,— title, Ancient anti Modern Chivalry; and if any person who shall read this, has, or knows of any one who has, a copy of that article, we should be greatly obliged for a copy of the same. In closing, permit me to say to all who shall have patience to read this narrative through, that with much research and toil, I have gathered up the evidence and circumstances from which I have based my conclusions, and, in pamphlet form, lay them before the public; .asking the public journalists of the State, if the fact comes to their- knowledge that I have made a statement of this sad case, to notice the same in their journals. Justice will give such notice a place in those papers which published the reports of committees on the other side from Kent’s Hill. In view of all that has transpired on the Hill, and the course Torsey has pursued towards Louise while under his care and since she died, his disposition shown to, and the treatment of her friends, I must say, I loath and detest this mis­ erable compound of intrigue and deception, and desire him to be kept out of my sight and mind if possible. I will not attempt to call him deserved names, as I can find no terms in the English language that will do him justice. I cannot pass unnoticed that whole-souled class-mate of Louise, Adelaide Webb, who, untrammelled by religious creeds, speaks out fully her true sentiments without fear, and says, “ I have long wished for some avenue through which to express my esteem and love for Louise,” etc. (See her letter in full on page 61.) “THE CROWN WON, BUT NOT WORN,” Was the title of Louise’s exhibition piece, prepared and read by her on the stage, in June, 1865, in regard to the life and death of the lamentedLincoln. Its length precludes its publication here. Being forcibly impressed with that title, and her effort, and their sudden exit from earthly scenes, caused me to adopt that title.

ALBANS, VT 05478 OF-Hi£ STffTE of m April Fool's Day, 199*+ Dear Viv, Although I do not owe you a letter as of this date, having mailed you a letter this past Monday (28th), I do want to accompany the enclosed pamphlet with a few remarks and observations. First: I am sending this booklet to you that it may be placed with the other two —which I presume you have, either there or in Augusta. I am sure you would like to send them to KH for their historical collection. (After you and I helned ourselves to what we wanted, I cannot be sure that KH still possesses conies of their own!!??!) Secondly: I have just reviewed this renort of the then-trusteesv~ It would seem, from this distance in time, that this whole affair was a tempest in a tea pot. By this I mean: why was such a to-do made over the taking of a few garments from the laundry; moreover, how could these incidents result in such a tragedy? Thirdly: This entire laundry-'affair would almost seem to be the culmination of other rule infringements of which Louise was guilty. Too many times in the nast she had completely disregarded the rules and had done just about as she pleased. For example: On page 23, read the 3rd paragraph of Sarah Palmer’s affidavit. Also: Read Emma Huntington's on cage 29. See also nage 3^? Abbie Fuller's affidavit, the M-th paragraph. These all indicate that Louise was not adverse to violating the rules whenever it suited her. This fact is well underscored by Mary Chapman's testimony as recorded in the first paragraph on page M4. I hone you will take time to check these. They are most illuminating —and I have taken some little time to extract them for you; so act accordingly, y'hear? To sum it up: Louise's annoying actions apoear to have reached a toleration summit.?which could no longer be ignored. The clothing episodes seem to have brought all this to a head and served as the direct cause for her dismissal. �=2= In Dr. Torsey's affidavit I was surprised to note his error in composition. He enclosed in quotation marks indirect statements. He intended, I am sure, that these be direct quotations, but his punctuation dissolved his intent. I have marked these infractions for your attention at the bottom of page 12 and the top of 13« All of the students’ and staffs’ affidavits seem to have been conroosed from a submitted outline. Many contain the same phrases; moreover, all seem to have followed a questionnaire. Not that such a survey should be looked at with askance, but it does seem to weaken each writer’s reflections. 7But I guess that „ii___ ; is is how it’s done in court where each witness asked the same or similar questions, It just seems a bit too obvious and contrived. I hope you can find the time and mental energy to ingest --and digest— these remarks and to check the references. THEN...I would like your oninion and, as they are wont to say at committee meetings today: your "input." I’ll now leave you to your assignment and will be _eagexly awalting_noX.Jonlx^i^^eajctic!rL_to this pamph/let but also your reply to mine of the 28th. Respectfuliy^submitted, P.S. I just happened to think —which is an unusual circumstance! Why don’t you keep that poem I sent; then you can include it with those pamph^lets when you send them to KH. Remember JFK’s widely-heralded statement about "Ask not..." etc. ? Well, look at this one, which was in Edgar M. Smith’s commencement address some three quarters of a century earlier: Do not think that the world owes you anything until you have done something . for the world. Eerie, eh? Oh, another afterthought. As you ceruse this report, notice how the trustees and several of the faculty refer to HPT as Mr. Torsey while the students refer to him as Dr. Torsey. (I never did learn what institution conferred upon him his D.D. or his Ll.D.) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

E. R. French PORTLAND SMITH & SALE, PRINTERS 1910 �L. Edwin Ruthven French �History of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary by Hon. E. R. French PORTLAND SMITH & SALE, PRINTERS 1918 ��FOREWORD i I ■ I Edwin Ruthven French was born at South Chesterville, Maine, December 13, 1828. He attended Kent’s Hill as a student from 1847 to 1850, and from the time of his gradua­ tion to the time of his death on December 5, 1912, he devoted the major part of his life to the interests of the School. As a teacher in 1850 and 1851, as a member of the Board of Trustees from 1873 to the time of his death, as Steward from 1882 to 1890, as a member of the Prudential Committee from 1891 to 1904, and as Secretary of the Board of Trustees from 1891 to the end, he was always thinking, planning and work­ ing for Kent’s Hill. Moreover, in this work for the School he did not lose sight of his duty to the community. He was lay preacher, doctor, lawyer, justice of the peace, student, farmer, trusted adviser and sincere friend. Called upon to preach or to attend the sick, as was often the case, he invariably responded gladly, although in many instances the response required him to travel miles in rain or snow. He sought no high honors, but thought most of doing the work at hand. A rare blessing to the community, he still lives in the hearts of his friends as a fine example of what an unselfish heart and an enlightened mind can do toward making life brighter and more livable. The following history represents a labor of love. It was written by him from a store of knowledge and lore of Kent's Hill gained by his sixty-five years of intimate acquaintance with the School. Probably no one living possessed similar qualifications for writing such a history. �PREFACE Progress is not an accident. The Creator does not work alone. In every age, in the secret chambers of thought, deep, far-seeing plans are laid that become the foundations of future events. God chooses from among the militant forces at His command those who are to carry forward His work. Across the broad seal of their commission is written the single word, “sent.” They are so like their fellows of the common lot that they emerge from the walks of life unknown and unheralded, till the consummation of the event of their life reveals their identity. The gaping crowd wonders whence came their power, who planned their work, and when they cannot answer, disbelieves; but the coming time, with its backward look and broader sweep, applauds. Humanity is coming to its own. Sometime its wants will be met. It may be a long time, but the God of the whole earth is in His heavens, and the longings of the hungry, the toiling of the millions, will avail; the day of the Lord will be at hand. �CHAPTER I Luther Sampson i (if ii n March 25, 1760, there was born in the town of Duxbury, Massachusetts, a boy destined to a varied career and the founding of an institution that was to have much to do with molding the character of the rising generations that came within the pale of its influence; and, through them, the bene­ fiting of many lands and the remotest time. Before he was sixteen he joined the Revolutionary forces of his country and continued in the service at different times for three years. He was a carpenter by trade. In 1783, he married and settled in Marshfield, Massachusetts. To them were born five children, a son and four daughters. He received from the Government an assignment of land for his services in the army, which, together with his earnings at his trade, gave him a fair start in life. He was of that old pioneer stock that had had so much to do with shaping New England character, and the severe puritanical ideas of the times were deep rooted in congenial soil. In 1798 Mr. Sampson left his home in Marshfield on a trip of exploration, intending to locate on the Hudson River. He had not proceeded far when he felt a strange inclination to go in the other direction; so much so that coming to a wood, he dismounted, hitched his horse, and turning aside into the grove he sought divine direction in prayer, and there deter­ mined that when he reached the next forks of the road, if his mind was still drawn eastward, he would let his horse choose the way. He remounted, gave his horse the reins, and soon found himself journeying toward the rising, instead of the setting sun. He continued his eastward travel till he reached the locality now known as Kent’s Hill, in the town of Read­ field, in the then Province of Maine. Here he located a tract of two hundred and fifty acres of land and returned to his Marshfield home. �6 It would be most interesting if we knew of the incidents of that journey, and what led him across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, on into the wilds of Maine, and induced him to locate in this particular spot. He was not a first settler; the Kents—Warren, at least—were there before him. Starling Plantation to the West began to be settled more than ten years before, and Isaac Ford, of Marshfield, likewise, had taken up the mill privilege at Fayette Mills. This latter fact may have been a determining feature in Mr. Sampson’s choice. The first house built on Kent’s Hill is said to have stood back from the main road on the west side of Will Thompson’s west field, later a part of the Waugh farm. The next year, 1799, Mr. Sampson moved his family onto his farm and with the assistance of his son, then sixteen years old, erected suitable buildings for their protection. Soon after his coming to Kent’s Hill, by the death of a relative, he fell heir to two thousand dollars, which sum, together with his other accumulations and holdings, made him a “fore-handed” man for his times. He was shrewd in his dealings, and was accounted a man of rare good judgment in business affairs. His opportunities for education had been limited, but he had improved what he had and his natural abilities enabled him to detect the want of it in others, as well as in himself. It is said the inability of the young preachers who came among the people to read with proper emphasis their Scripture lessons and hymns distressed him greatly. He set himself to devise ways and means to lessen these deficiencies and improve social conditions around him. His first efforts were directed to the supply of regular preaching of the Gospel on Kent’s Hill; the lengthening of the terms of the district school; the giving of aid to struggling Methodist Societies; providing for support of worn-out preachers, and helping the needy generally. It is not to be presumed that conditions around him were inferior to those of pioneer communities generally,—rather the contrary, if we are to judge from what develops later. A meeting house was in process of construction; the district school and a circulating library well under way. �7 CHAPTER II Readfield Religious and Charitable Society In 1820, Mr. Sampson interested some of his fellow­ townsmen to associate themselves with him for the before­ named purposes, and at the first session of the Maine Legis­ lature, in 1821, Luther Sampson, Charles Kent, John Hub­ bard, Abraham Morrill, Zechariah Gibson and John Morrison were incorporated Trustees of the Readfield Religious and Charitable Society. “In the House of Representatives this Bill passed to be enacted, February 26, 1821. Benjamin Ames, Speaker. In the Senate, finally passed, February 27, 1821. Wm. D. Williamson, President. Approved by the Governor, February 28, 1821. Wm. King. Secretary of State’s Office, Portland, March 5, 1821. A true copy. Attest, Ashur Ware, Secretary of State.” The Province of Maine was set off from Massachusetts in 1820. This act of incorporation, therefore, must have been one of the first legislative acts passed upon by the Legislature. Mr. Sampson’s knowledge of conditions in his native State probably had much to do with it. The act of incorporation provided that the Trustees should be members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the town of Readfield, but if there were no members of said Church in or near said town suitable for trustees, then some pious person not a member of the church should be chosen Trustee that the number remain at six. The Trustees were authorized to hold property, real and personal, the income of which should not exceed three thou­ sand dollars annually. A gift of five thousand dollars by any one person entitled the donor to appoint an additional Trustee, without regard �8 to church membership. The liberality of these provisions placed the objects of the endowment above sectarian con­ siderations. The Board was organized the first Monday of June, 1821, by choosing President. John Hubbard, Secretary. Zechariah Gibson, Treasurer. Luther Sampson, A set of By-laws governing the Board were presented and accepted at this meeting. There is no record of any operations of the Society the first year of its existence. No funds had been provided. At a special meeting of the Board, April 29, 1822, Luther Sampson delivered to the Trustees a deed, elaborately drawn, conveying to them three parcels of land, real estate to the amount of two hundred acres of land and buildings, valued at four thousand five hundred dollars. Accompanying this deed and attached thereto was an instrument equally specific as to the purposes of the gift and how it should be applied; an inventory of personal property to the amount of five thousand five hundred dollars, making the benefaction a gross sum of ten thousand dollars. These two papers reveal a familiarity with legal forms and a minuteness of detail truly wonderful in one not trained in the intricacies of the law. It is doubtful if a superior exists for the disposition of property in the archives of County or State. It was expressly provided that there should be no “strip” or “waste” of land values, and that personal property that disappeared should be faithfully restored and handed down to each succession intact. For an intelligent understanding of the nature and availability of Mr. Sampson’s gift, we give a resume of the properties constituting it. Real Estate: The farm of one hundred and forty acres of land on Kent’s Hill, with the new house and two barns thereon, and other buildings; the pasture in Wayne of fortyfive acres; the house and lot adjoining the Meeting House lot, of one and one-eighth acres; the whole of the value of four thousand five hundred dollars (§4,500.00). �9 This was divided into three tenements: The 1st Tenement consisted of about seven acres in the southeast corner of the main road and the North Wayne road, to which was assigned the personal of the first schedule, amounting to $33.38. The 2nd Tenement, about five acres adjoining the Meeting House, and the sum of $176.00. The 3rd Tenement, the farm proper, with the Wayne pasture; except that the occupants of the first and second tenements were to have their fire-wood from it, and four acres to be reserved for a Camp Ground. To this tenement was assigned the personal of the third schedule, equal to $905.85. The personal property was itemized in seven schedules, of amounts as follows: 1st Schedule, eight sheep and lambs, S10; cow and calf, $20; sundries, $3.38: $33.38. 2nd Schedule, eight sheep and lambs, $10; cow and calf, $20; house furnishings, $26.38; beds and bed linen, $39.62; Bl. Shop, $80: $176.00. 3rd Schedule, two hundred sheep and lambs, $450; one yoke of oxen, $73; three cows with calves, $60; two hogs, $12; eighteen bushels corn, twelve of wheat, $27.50; seed corn and wheat and rye, $13.38; peas and oats, $15.12; potatoes, $7.50; grass seed, $5.37; provisions, etc., $19.38; cart wheels and carts, $43; plows, harrows, chains and iron, harnesses, etc., $64.05; shovels, hoes, scythes and sleds, $36.33; cord wood and hay, $39; other farm implements, $43.22; making the whole outfit for farm $905.85. 4th Schedule, furniture and furnishings in west part of new house for his daughters, $97.38. 5th Schedule, Bible, hymn books and communion set, $18.50; blank book, $4; stove and other furniture for Meeting House, $34.61: $57.11. 6th Schedule, Clarke’s Commentaries, $47; other books for library, $78.31: $125.31. �10 7th Schedule, notes and securities, with interest due, secured, $3,136.60; cash to balance sum donated, $968.37: $4,104.97. Making a total of personal, $5,500.00. On the acceptance of this deed of trust by the Trustees, Mr. Sampson appointed his son, David Ford Sampson, addi­ tional Trustee, and it was stipulated therein that his. family should be thus represented on the Board forever by some nearest of kin, or someone chosen to represent them. After repeated adjournments, the annual meeting of 1823 was held March 11 th, at which time the first move was made to use the funds in the hands of the Trustees for chari­ table and religious purposes by a tentative agreement with Eliakim Scamman to supply preaching at Kent’s Hill. Mr. Sampson, as Treasurer, presented a bill for $340, which was allowed, presumably for aid to the Meeting House, provision for which was made in his instrument to the amount of $345. In considering Mr. Sampson’s gift as a whole, from what sources its incomes were to be derived, the amount of the benefactions yearly required, it is difficult to see how all its terms could be met by a Board of Trustees thus constituted and governed by iron bound restrictions. Fortunately for the Board, Mr. Sampson was their Treasurer for the first three years and managed the property with the same shrewd­ ness that he had ever been used to do in the management of his affairs. One thing is evident, no one who succeeded him in the office of Treasurer was able to keep pace with him in financial acuteness. Important changes are impending this year. Mr. Samp­ son is thinking. There has come to him a conception of greater possibilities, and he is intent on seizing them. CHAPTER III Elihu Robinson In 1820, Elihu Robinson, of Augusta, a carpenter by trade, moved by the lack of opportunities for an education that came to the young men around him, especially those who were looking to the Gospel ministry, opened a school in his �11 own house, having teachers to give instruction. His wife attended to the household affairs, and was a mother in Israel to her house. Mr. Sampson heard of this school, and forthwith visited it. Here was a man without means, doing what he, in a lesser way, had thought to do with means. His vision broadened. Was it not possible to combine these two instrumentalities, he pondered? During the season of 1823, Mr. Sampson had repeated interviews with Mr. Robinson, and induced him to move his school to Kent’s Hill. Meanwhile, he set himself about adjusting the affairs of his Board to meet the changed condi­ tions. An outlay of six hundred dollars, or more, was required by the original instrument, which absorbed all the income under the most favorable circumstances. The annual meeting of 1824 was called for January 6th, at which time only routine business was attended to and an adjournment taken to the 27th inst. The Trustees met, and, without transacting any business, adjourned to the next morning. At this time Mr. Sampson presented a new instru­ ment, modifying former conditions as to the bestowal of his charities, eliminating some and reducing the amount of others. This paper was duly executed, and accepted by the Trustees. A committee was raised to attend immediately to providing for the intended school and to report at the next meeting, and adjournment was taken to February 17th. CHAPTER IV The New School Mr. Sampson’s new deed, or instrument, provides that when certain conditions therein named are met, “the remain­ der of said property shall be appropriated to the establish­ ment, and for the benefit and support of, a school, to be located on the premises in Readfield for the purpose of afford­ ing instruction to youth in the principles of Experimental Christian Religion, Theology’, Literature," in a practical knowledge of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts.” �12 Here is a University for the common people! I doubt if you can find an older one in the country. On the acceptance of this new paper, Luther Sampson retired from the Board of Trustees, and Elihu Robinson was elected in his place and was also made chairman of the Super­ intending Committee. At the adjournment, February 17th, the plan and report of the committee was accepted, and on the 27th of February, 1824, Mr. Robinson formally opened his school in the new house,—now known as the Little Mansion. We have no account of whom his teachers were, but presume he conducted it along the same lines as heretofore. At a special meeting, March 22nd, a committee was chosen to provide a school house. This was done by buying of Mr. Sampson the old house he had reserved in his deed and fitting it up for a school room. In 1869, when repairing the Mansion, Albert Wheelock, standing in the back door of the house, pointed to what had been for years the woodhouse of the “New House,” saying: “That was the first school building and it stood down there,” pointing as he spoke to a spot a little to the southwest of the Mansion. “I was one of the scholars.” There were two rooms in the upper part of it fitted up for scholars who boarded themselves, known to students of a later day as “Oregon.” Mr. Robinson held a close and important relation to the school for the first year, not only as its Supervisor, but being in charge of what was known as the “first tenement,” which had been cleared of all incumbrances that its income might be devoted to the school. The financial situation was cleared up by effecting settle­ ments with those indebted to the corporation and reducing the charities to less than one-fourth. This meeting was adjourned to May 10th, at which time a committee was chosen, consisting of Elihu Robinson, Moses Springer, Jr., and Moses Stone, to mature a plan for a new school house. It reported the next day “that it is expedient to build a School House of brick; that such a building would cost two thousand dollars;” and recommended measures whereby funds might be raised to erect it. �y 13 This report was accepted. Likewise a vote was passed to petition the Legislature for a change of name and to increase the number of Trustees to twenty. The name proposed was The Maine Methodist Educational Society. A committee was also appointed to address the Maine Conference at its next annual session in favor of the interests of the Institution. It is evident from these movements that the school was exceeding its limits, and that its possibilities began to loom up before the public and those who were more intimately con­ nected with its administration. An incident occurred at this meeting worthy of more than a passing notice. Mr. Sampson had practically retired from an active part in the affairs of this new enterprise, but kept a watchful eye on every movement. He had sent a letter to the Trustees which they saw fit to raise a committee to reply to, but which committee, after an interview with him, asked to be discharged without the formality of a report. The letter was pigeon-holed. It was understood privately that Mr. Sampson was not pleased with some of the measures and methods of the Trustees, and took this means to call their attention to the importance of their trust and their obligations to him. At a subsequent meeting, August 16th, the Superintend­ ing Committee were authorized to proceed with the erection of the school building according to the plan recommended by them. This they did forthwith. Circumstances demanded it; the school had outgrown itself, and the demand for its privileges and opportunites was growing. Again a special meeting is called for December 29th, when the progress of the Building Committee is approved and their accounts audited. The votes of a previous meeting with regard to a change of name and increase of the number of the Trustees were reconsidered, and a vote passed for a new act of incorporation changing the name to “Maine Wesleyan Seminary” and the number of Trustees to twenty-five. Up to this time the school had evidently been conducted according to Mr. Robinson’s method, but at this meeting a committee was appointed to secure an instructor. There is �14 no report of the doings of this committee, but it is known that Asa H. Thompson, of Industry, was chosen Principal, but died before taking charge, and Rev. Henry Cushman was engaged for the Spring term. At the next meeting of the Legislature, January, 1825, an act additional to the act of incorporation was passed, and approved by the Governor, Albion K. Parris, February 23, 1825. This act makes the number of Trustees twenty-five and changes the name to “Maine Wesleyan Seminary.” CHAPTER V Maine Wesleyan Seminary The foregoing legislative act was received at a meeting of the Trustees, February 23, 1825, and accepted by them. The first school year is closed and plans are maturing for the future. Construction of the Seminary Building is progressing favorably, but we are not advised how the plan for raising the money for it, viz.: that a three-years loan of five hundred dollars at six per cent be raised; that the fifteen hundred additional be divided into shares of one hundred each, to be subscribed for by friends, who are to be reimbursed when the institution is in funds—this latter practically a donation, has succeeded. The loan was raised. This meeting was continued to March 16th, when the business of the annual meeting was completed and an execu­ tive committee added, who were to have the general super­ intendency of all the affairs of the institution,—now known as the Prudential Committee. A further continuance was had to the 22nd, when a conference was sought with Mr. Sampson as to present conditions. As a result of this con­ ference a committee was chosen to make a new draft of the instrument limiting the objects and sums to which Mr. Samp­ son’s donation should be applied, which should be the basis of future action forever. In this pact the Trustees covenant with Luther Sampson that the amount of his endowment shall be and remain ten thousand dollars; and if, by reason of depreciation of value, �15 it shall at any time fall below that sum, the incomes arising from it shall be applied till the original amount is made good. And in order to make more plain the intent and purposes of said Trustees and said Sampson, it is agreed that the government of this Institution shall be established on the same principles as that of Bowdoin College, and the same rules and restrictions apply to its permanent fund as to that; and when these requirements are complied with by the Trustees, Mr. Sampson on his part exonerates the Trustees from all errors and deficiences on their part and relieves them from maintenance of preaching at Kent’s Hill, except supply. The report of this committee was not accepted till a subsequent meeting, October 12th, nor finally concurred in till December 28th. This meeting, however, was of much importance as mapping out the future course of the school, and included two days’ work. The enlargement of the Board of Trustees was begun; the Superintending Committee were authorized to set up a “Female School;” the price of board and tuition was fixed; an address to the public accepted, to be published in Zion’s Herald. What do we of the present day think of the charges of that day, who pay for a single meal as much or more than was expected for a week’s board? 25 cts. per week. Tuition, Boys’ Department, 12# « « « “ Girls’ S1.00 “ “ Board, Boys’ “ “ Girls’ “ 87# “ “ “The children of the Traveling Preachers to be received at seventy-five cents per week.” Is it any wonder that the poor boys and girls starving for an education such as this school was to afford, flocked to its doors? Would that there were the same inducements now! �16 CHAPTER VI Zenas Caldwell’s Administration Zenas Caldwell was made Principal and took charge of the school September, 1825. He was a graduate of Bowdoin College, and he together with his brother Merritt were said to be the first Methodist boys to graduate from college in the State. Thank God, they were not the last! We shall hear of them more. They were sons of a great mother. Why can there not be more of them in the earth, that a nobler race of men may people it? They are coming, sometime. Mr. Caldwell’s management of the school was com­ mended from the beginning. At the meeting of Trustees October 12th, he was made a Trustee and Chairman of the Superintending Committee. The report of the committee on new instrument was made and accepted, and an additional instructor authorized whenever thought necessary. This is an evidence of the increasing popularity of the school; or, it may have been seen thus early wise to conserve the physical powers of the Princi­ pal. We incline to the former opinion, as the records bear evidence that the Trustees were not slow to promote him to responsible places. The agreement between the Trustees and Mr. Sampson for a change in the conditions of the deed was completed at the annual meeting December 28, 1825, by the formal execu­ tion of the pact entered into. Mr. Sampson absolutely declines to be considered a Trustee any longer, and the Trustees feel constrained to grant his request. Arrangements for the coming term were made by con­ tinuing Zenas Caldwell, Principal, and providing for issuing what was probably the first circular, or prospectus, giving information as to its courses of study, length of terms and vacations, that the Seminary ever sent out. The proper management of the farm was one of the most difficult things that Trustees had to contend with in those early days, and as to that matter, has always been so. When, therefore, at an adjournment of this meeting, February 12, �17 1826, Elihu Robinson presented the name of Wager Besse and his wife to have charge of “all concerns,” there was evident relief and speedy acceptance. At a further continuance of the meeting to May 2nd, a committee, of which Zenas Caldwell was chairman, was raised to carry into effect the late agreement with Luther Sampson, by framing a code of “rules and regulations” for the govern­ ment of the school, after the manner of Bowdoin College. Thus early the Institution was seeking to place itself on a high plane of educational efficiency. That much of this was due to the leadership of Zenas Caldwell cannot be doubted. A movement was made at this time also for providing for a Manual Labor Department, want of funds alone checking it. The one great lack is the lack of funds. Again the Conference is to be appealed to. The affairs of the farm, at one time so hopeful, are again at a stand-still, and the offer is made to Mr. Sampson to pay his expenses if he will find a suitable man to carry it on. It must be remembered that the farm was practically new land; stumps and stones not all removed; not an inviting field of operations. During the summer vacation, 1826, the Trustees met August 29th and were in session three days. The financial situation was the burden of their desire. The Treasurer had succeeded in selling the Dr. Hubbard property for $2,300, but the pay was in promissory notes and time loans. The dormi­ tory was in want of beds and bedding; the expediency of begging for it was considered. A committee was chosen to raise $2,500 by one hundred subscriptions of twenty-five dollars each. Elihu Robinson, who had had charge of the farming operations, was relieved from that duty and later put in charge of the Mechanical Department. Zenas Caldwell was continued Principal, and an assistant instructor authorized. The Superintending Committee were directed “to finish the Preceptor's room in a decent manner.” Rev. Asa Heath was appointed "to solicit donations and form societies through the State as he may think proper,”— what societies the record docs not reveal. He was to have ten per cent of the donations as pay for his services. �18 Zenas Caldwell assumed the charge of the fall term, 1826, but a shadow was creeping over the prospects of the Seminary. The great white plague was claiming a victim, and the Princi­ pal’s failing health obliged him to relinquish his duties and retire to his home in Hebron, Maine, where he died, December 21, aged 26. He died too soon. Charge not to God Almighty the loss of undeveloped years, the crushed hopes of early man­ hood and the vanishing of spheres of usefulness. He planned it not, but one ignorant of His immutable, unchanging laws interfered with their execution. There is no reference in the records as to who was Mr. Caldwell’s assistant, or who was in charge on his retirement, or even a reference to his death, a strange omission, it seems to me. I have an impression, or an intimation derived from some source, that Merritt Caldwell, brother to Zenas, at that time a student at Bowdoin College, came to the rescue on the retirement of his brother, for the remainder of the term. December 27th, 1826, the annual meeting was held and the Secretary directed to inform Joshua Randall, of Dixfield, that the Trustees will employ him for one term on the condi­ tion he proposed,—perhaps longer. The language of this vote implies that they had been in conference with him, and it may be that he had been assistant to Zenas Caldwell, or had had to do with the finishing out of the term. At the adjournment of this meeting to February, 1827, it was voted that Asa Heath continue his agency, and that the Bishop presiding at the next annual conference be requested to appoint one of the Traveling Preachers to collect funds for Maine Wesleyan Seminary. The Superintending Committee were authorized to employ as many students at labor as was practicable. It is evident from what the records disclose that the popularity of the school was abroad, and that there were more applications for its advantages than it could accommodate. It was an open door to the common people; its advantages for instruction unexcelled. This meeting is further continued to March 7th, when a formal vote of thanks is tendered to Mr. Sampson by the following resolve. “Resolved: That the Board of Trustees �19 tender their thanks to our brother, Luther Sampson, for his laborious services, and that he be requested to continue them to this institution.” The reports of committees entrusted with the funds of the institution are more satisfactory. A half township of land had been granted by the Legislature, which was yet to be disposed of. The committee having charge was directed to procure the frame for the shop and set as many boys at work on it as could be employed. Dudley Moody becomes general agent, or steward, and Elihu Robinson has charge of the mechanical department. These departments of manual labor were extremely popular with the public, but exceedingly unprofit­ able to the institution, because of the poor quality of the work, whether on farm or in shop. Students could not be induced to remain long enough at a trade to master it. CHAPTER VI Course of Study Established A meeting of the Trustees largely devoted to internal affairs was held August 9th. A large committee was raised to canvass for a Library, and another to draw up a course of study to go into operation in the spring term. This meeting was continued to November 28th, when the committee reported. It seems that this plan was subse­ quently lost, but tuition in languages and higher studies was fixed at 37Xc. Merritt Caldwell and William C. Larrabee, students in Bowdoin College, were in charge during this fall term. At this point in the records it is disclosed that at the meeting of the Legislature of 1827 the committee who had in charge the plan of government for the Seminary after the form of Bowdoin College obtained an act constituting Abraham Morrill, Obed Wilson, James B. Cahoon, Allen H. Cobb, Thomas Dodge, Joshua Taylor and David Kilburn, together with the President and Secretary of the Board, a Board of Overseers of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary. These met and �20 organized their Board, but after a few years failed to main­ tain it and lapsed into innocuous desuetude. One of the first acts of the annual meeting, December 26, 1827, was to appoint a committee, consisting of Eliphalet Clark, Merritt Caldwell and William C. Larrabee, who pre­ pared a new draft and reported as follows, which report was accepted: Report REQUIREMENTS “Candidates for the Junior class must be able to read with a good degree of ease and correctness; to write legibly, parse correctly in prose, and be well acquainted with the funda­ mental rules of Arithmetic. JUNIOR CLASS. 1ST TERM Modem and Ancient Geography, Worcester’s Arithmetic, Colburn’s First Lessons and Sequel, and Grammar. 2nd term Algebra, Colburn’s, Geometry, Ancient History, Whelpley’s. MIDDLE CLASS. Book-keeping, and 1ST TERM Trigonometry, Smythe’s, Surveying, Navigation, Men­ suration of Surfaces and Solids, and Modern History. 2nd term Mental Philosophy, Upham’s, Natural Philosophy, Con­ versations on, and Rhetoric, Newman's. SENIOR YEAR. 1ST TERM Smythe’s Philosophy of Natural Economy and Paley’s Theology. History, Political �21 2nd term Chemistry, Conversations on, Federalist, Paley’s Evidences, and Astronomy, Wilkins’. Languages, or any of the above studies, may be attended to when a regular course is not wished. Eliphalet Clark, Chairman of said Committee.” The same committee fixed tuition at 25c per week. The distress of the Trustees for want of funds to carry on the school is almost pathetic. They have not disposed of their half-township of land, have twice tried to float a loan, using that as collateral, and even to secure notes by mortgage of real estate. They could not retreat; they must go forward. A committee was empowered to engage a principal for the ensuing term. Dr. Samuel Stevens, a graduate of Water­ ville College, acted as Principal the spring term of 1828. A largely attended session of the Trustees was held in Vienna in August, when for two days the affairs of the Semi­ nary'- were thoroughly considered. Merritt Caldwell, having graduated from Bowdoin Col­ lege, was secured as Principal for the fall term of 1828, and continued in that position until 1834. The annual meeting this year was held December 31, 1828, and the time of future annual meetings fixed for the day after the closing of the spring term. Merritt Caldwell was formally elected Principal, and also a Trustee. The first mention of the Calliopean Society occurs in an order to the Mechanical Agent to make a book-case for it. That that, or similar societies, existed is inferred from votes of the Trustees denying to students the privilege of forming such societies within the school without the knowledge or consent of the Board of Trustees. At this meeting all the books belonging to the Trustees were given to the Calliopean Society. Moses Springer, Jr., is made a committee to again peti­ tion the Legislature for aid, though they have hardly disposed �22 of the last donation of a half-township. This man seems from the record to be one of the most business-like men on the Board. The first annual meeting after the change of time con­ vened July 16, 1829. The Seminary seems to be firmly established, courses of instruction well defined, and admin­ istered by competent instructor who has been in charge for a year, and, were it not for financial troubles and the difficulty of finding proper managers of the Agricultural and Mechanical Departments, would be on the road to success. Elihu Robin­ son has administered these departments to the extent of his ability, but has not had a free hand in doing so, and besides, has been the one man relied on for the discharge of difficult trusts. One can but be impressed with his usefulness as the proceedings of the Board of Trustees are followed year after year, and with what the Maine Wesleyan Seminary owes to him in the formative days of its life. The majority of the Trustees were Methodist Preachers, without much business tact. An exception should be made to this in the persons of Moses Springer, Jr., James Williams, Moses Stone and Philip Munger, and later, Dr. Eliphalet Clark, who were evidently men of affairs. Reference is had occasionally in the doings of the Trustees to finances connected with the Maine Conference. This comes to a settlement at this meeting by the Trustees authorizing their Treasurer to pay over to the Conference one hundred dollars in full of all demands. The Conference seems to have considered itself a beneficiary of Mr. Sampson’s charities in some way, and the Trustees buy off their claim in this manner. A move is made for a College Preparatory Course, and Merritt Caldwell continued Principal, and adjournment taken to January 5th. The Board of Trustees is now increased to the full number, a majority of whom are members of the Maine Conference. Another move is made to raise a permanent fund, whose income shall be S600, or more. This sum is deemed neces­ sary to meet the yearly expenses. The Female School is not �23 yet in operation, but someone is pressing for it. Mr. Samp­ son is considering further concessions, and a continuance is taken to February 10th. CHAPTER VIII A Gloomy Time February 10th, 1830, Mr. Sampson the fourth time alters the requirements of his deed, which is accepted by the Trustees, and in consideration thereof makes over to the Trustees of the Methodist Society on Kent’s Hill the house and land adjoining the Meeting House lot for a parsonage, and donates one hundred dollars for finishing it. This meeting has been continued seven months. There is internal evidence that while the school as such is prospering and that students are not wanting, the Trustees are at a loss to meet the situation. A special meeting is called for July 20th, which deliberates on the situation for three days. That the question of closing the school was under consideration cannot be doubted, for on the third day a direct vote to continue the school was reached, after three members of the Board had guaranteed a sum sufficient,—six hundred dollars— to carry it on another year. These men are understood to be Merritt Caldwell, Dr. Eliphalet Clark and Dudley Moody. Previous to this, the sureties for a note of SI,500 had been secured by real estate. The opening of a Young Ladies’ School was again brought up at the annual meeting, January' 5, 1831, by a Resolve declaring it expedient and directing that the west room in the Seminary be fitted up. Messrs. Moody, Clark and Caldwell were made a committee to engage an Instructress. This was to be used in a petition to the Legislature as an inducement to grant aid. There are indications that this move succeeded in open­ ing the school to young ladies as soon as all the arrangements for it could be effected. Miss Urania Merritt was the first female teacher employed. Later, during Merritt Caldwell’s principalship, Miss Phoebe Payne was engaged as Preceptress. �24 Merritt Caldwell is again elected Principal. That the plan of the school retains its popularity with the people is evident from the fact that the Trustees are obliged to enlarge their shops and increase the accommodations for board. It seems to have been a short-sighted policy to allow their finances to fall behind by mismanagement. CHAPTER IX A Dramatic Occasion We now come to one of the most dramatic occasions that ever occurred in the history of Maine Wesleyan Seminary. Whether considered as an act of desperation, or a stroke of finesse, it was a masterpiece of corporate action. The author­ ship of the scheme or the resolutions, or who presented them to the Board, is nowhere revealed. The Maine Annual Con­ ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was in session at Hallowell, Bishop Soule presiding, June, 1831. On the morning of the 10th the Trustees of the Seminary met at the same place, and, without preliminary, voted that the President, Moses Springer, Jr., invite such persons, other than members of the Board, to a seat with it, as he sees fit. Then, without the formality of a committee, the following resolutions were presented: “I. Resolved: That, in the opinion of this Board, the Maine Wesleyan Seminary is established on such principles as give it a claim superior to that of any other literary institu­ tion in this State on all the friends of science, morality and religion; and that its claims for support on the Maine Confer­ ence and the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church are more sacred than on any other class of community. “II. Resolved: That the present depressed state of the funds of this institution is, in the opinion of this Board, a loud call for renewed, strenuous and well-directed efforts on the part of its friends. “III. Resolved: Inasmuch as the interests of this insti­ tution are, in our opinion, associated with the dearest interests of the rising generation and of our growing church in this I �25 State; and as the time has now come when but one alternative is left us, which is to place it on a firm basis, or to let it sink to rise no more; that our best efforts as a Board and as individ­ uals shall be directed to sustain this institution. “IV. Resolved: That the cause of this institution be presented to the Maine Annual Conference now in session, and that their co-operation be solicited in the appointment of an agent whose experience and influence shall be propor­ tioned to the character of the institution and to the great responsibility of making a last appeal in its behalf to the generosity of our church and the public. “V. Resolved: That it be recommended to the Con­ ference to adopt some measures by which the operations of said agent shall be facilitated, and by which subscriptions shall be opened in every station and on every circuit in the Conference.” Messrs. Caldwell, Springer and Cox were appointed a committee to present these resolutions to the Conference, also to petition that Rev. Charles Baker should be appointed Agent. When the committee had presented their resolu­ tions, the Conference rose in a body to accept, and a sub­ scription was started then and there, led by the Bishop, by which the sum of $1,360 was raised on the spot, mostly by preachers who hardly knew from day to day whence their own support was coming. The scene is described as most inspiring. The Rev. Charles Baker was appointed Agent. A resolution highly commendatory of the services of Principal Caldwell was passed, wherein was expressed the hope that “no motive” would induce him to leave his post. His salary was increased one hundred dollars, and a present of fifty dollars was made him. The next term was fixed for the opening of the Young Ladies’ Department. The effect of this move and the success of Rev. Baker’s agency for a time cleared the financial sky and restored confidence. It may seem strange to us, looking back over four score years, that there was so great apathy on the part of the denomination in coming to the support of the Seminary; but it must be remembered that the Methodists of Maine were �26 of the common lot, with more zeal than means, and that one hundred dollars meant very much to them individually, and that the poor success of former agencies had had a depressing effect. Asa Heath’s service the year before had realized but about $160 over and above his salary and expenses. When your staging costs as much as your house, you sometimes let the house go. This session of the Board was continued into the next week, evidently under the inspiration of the Conference, con­ sidering matters deemed essential to the success of the school. Among these was the establishment of a Teachers’ School; securing a Preceptress for the next term, and providing a permanent Professor of Languages. The scope of the educa­ tional work undertaken broadened on their hands continually, and it was difficult to keep abreast of it. The ambition of students to increase the number of literary societies was a source of heated discussion in the Board. In their appeals for aid to the State, the Trustees had represented the school as unsectarian, yet were supporting Methodist preaching. To free themselves from any charge of inconsistency, they suggested to Mr. Sampson that he withdraw a sufficient amount of funds to enable him to meet that requirement personally, and so remove any cause of complaint. Thus early was laid the foundation for the cosmopolitan character the school has maintained, despite its name. There was no lack of theories, discussions and resolutions in this and succeeding sessions of the Trustees relative to the questions before them for consideration. The one most in evidence was the raising of funds for the ever-increasing needs of the institution. More shops are wanted; a larger boarding house must be built. There are social conditions ever recurring that tax the wisdom of Principal and Visiting Com­ mittees. At the annual meeting, January, 1832, these things are provided for, so far as Trustee action is required, and Merritt Caldwell is re-elected as Principal. Despite his spirited encounters with the Trustees in opposition to their f �27 policies, they cannot dispense with his services at the head of the Seminary. Notwithstanding that there were already academies in different parts of the State that were doing the work of the high school of to-day, a different class of students was drift­ ing to Kent’s Hill. Their careers in after life point out to us the type of manhood and womanhood they represented. The subscription at Conference, 1831, with other sub­ scriptions that followed, together with the one thousand dollars of State aid, relieved the financial stress for the time being. At the close of the school year, 1833, it became evident, as once before, that a permanent income of six hundred dollars must be provided for the yearly operations of the school and the Conference was again appealed to to raise a fund of ten thousand dollars. Rev. Gersham F. Cox was appointed Agent; a plan for four-hundred and two-hundred scholarships was worked up, and Mr. Cox took the field. At the next Conference he reported ten thousand dollars collected in cash and reliable notes. At first this seemed to be a great success, but later proved to be a mortgage on the funds of the Institution. Mr. James Dinsmore, of the Trustees, raised about six thou­ sand dollars in addition. This movement gave a more hopeful aspect to affairs, and served as a stimulus to increase the number of students at the Seminary. This same year Mr. Caldwell severed his connection with the Seminary, having been elected Professor of Metaphysics in Dickenson College, Carlisle, Pa. It has been an oftrepeated experience with the Seminary that when it had developed a teacher of admirable parts, some higher institu­ tion of larger means would make requisition on it. The school continued through the year under the charge of Charles Collins, James Bell, A. B., and A. F. Wheelock, A. B. �28 CHAPTER X Larrabee’s Administration In 1835, William C. Larrabee, Principal of Cazenovia Seminary, was elected Principal and entered on his duties at once. A man of unusual tact and ability as teacher was now at the head of the institution. He associated with him Benjamin F. Teft, a recent graduate of Wesleyan University, a brilliant scholar, and other able teachers. The improved financial condition of the Seminary, the reputation of the Faculty, the opportunities for meeting some portion of the expenses in the manual labor departments, drew large numbers of students. Principal Larrabee was extremely popular with all classes of society, and not averse to the humorous side of affairs when opportunity offered. It is related that when stopping at a hotel in the city of Bangor one day he strolled out to the stable, where his curiosity was excited by hearing the hostler swearing at the horses in classic language. He entered into conversation with him and found himself in the presence of a man of unusual scholarly attainments, a graduate of the University of Dublin, but who, because of his love for strong drink, was reduced to this lowly occupation. Mr. Larrabee’s interest in him, however, was very much aroused, and before leaving he induced him to come to Kent’s Hill. In due time the candidate arrived, and the Principal deemed it the proper thing to have his fitness attested by his teacher in languages, and he was sent to Professor Teft for examination. The Professor, in rather a spectacular way, brought out his Greek text books and opening them handed one to the new teacher, reserving one for himself, and, indicating a lesson, requested him to proceed. With lightning-like rapidity—he was very quick spoken—he began to read the text before him. The Professor lost his place and stopped the reader to know where he was. This was pointed out and away again he went, and was again halted to know where he was. The third time he sets the Professor right and is off like a race-horse, when Teft, in desperation, calls out, “Where are you reading?” His candidate answers, “Right there,” putting his finger on the �29 line, “can’t you keep the place?” That candidate was Andrew Walsh, a veritable son of Ould Ireland, one of the greatest linguists of his day and an equally expert mathema­ tician. Father Walsh, as he was known to the students, was simple as a child; indeed, he was more of a child than a man, save for his intellectual attainments, for he was equally a philosopher and a linguist. He was deeply religious, and those who may have heard his exhortations in the social meeting did not soon forget the matter or the manner. Alas! he went back to his cups, and his light went out in obscurity. The popularity of Larrabee’s administration continued unabated. There was not a neighborhood around but was represented by some of its youth. The attendance at the school increased to such an extent that it was absolutely necessary to erect a new boarding house. Notwithstanding the necessity for enlarging the accommodations, every move plunged the corporation deeper and deeper in debt. There was one agency not yet mentioned that came generously to the relief, viz: The Maine Wesleyan Associa­ tion, which pledged the net profits arising from the printing of the Maine Wesleyan Journal to the funds of the school. How much was derived from this source we are unable to state, but the Journal itself was a help as the mouthpiece of the Seminary. The membership of the Maine Conference, except for the one spasmodic effort in 1830, never seemed to realize how great an obligation it was under to the school in their midst. Eventually, a feeling of distrust and indifference engendered towards it. Nevertheless, outwardly everything seemed prosperous; the shops were full of workers, the Seminary of students. No one seemed to know where the leak was financially. Their embarrassments increased. The fact was, they were employ­ ing unskilled labor. The manufactured products were not worth as much as the stock from which they had been pro­ duced. They could not be sold in the market, save at a loss, and accumulated in the shops. The same was true of the farm, and their property depreciated. These were the causes that were leading to bankruptcy, and yet the school was �30 sustained because of its popularity. Principal Larrabee maintained his supremacy, but he at length became involved in the impending ruin, and in 1840 accepted a professorship in the Asbury University, Greencastle, Ind. The funds were all gone; there was next to nothing to show for all the money that had been collected; public con­ fidence in the management was at a standstill. An agent was appointed to dispose of all the available assets,—the real estate could not be alienated—and settle claims against the Institution; but these were not sufficient; it was still in debt. In 1841, Dr. Stephen Allen, at that time Professor of Mathematics in the Troy Conference Seminary, Poultney, Vermont, was elected Principal and took charge that winter term. The situation was forlorn, indeed. The buildings were out of repair; the Seminary hardly habitable because of faulty construction, and liable to collapse at any time. These defects were overcome as well as they could be at the time, a goodly number of students gathered, and the school went on. Dr. Allen brought to his assistance an able corps of teachers, young men and women of ability, who thought more of the service rendered than of the pay received. Among them were George W. Jewett, Miss Mary Ann Moody, afterwards Mrs. G. W. Jewett, Miss C. Sturdivant, Charles F. Allen and Henry P. Torsey. The success of the school had always been due to the ability and self-sacrificing devotion of its instructors, and for three years it continued without other material support. The annuities could no longer be met; the scholarships were an incumbrance that could no longer be carried. In 1844, Dr. Allen resigned to join the Maine Conference, and Henry P. Torsey, who had been his assistant the year previous, was elected Principal upon the condition that he should furnish all the instruction, pay for all repairs, and receive all the income. The Trustees had absolutely nothing to offer save the location of the Seminary. The financial straits to which the Institution was reduced may be inferred from the statement of Mr. Torsey that after paying all bills one term he had twenty dollars left for his services. Men of i �31 affairs hardly understand the devotion and consecration of great souls to the life-work they have in hand, but out of this spirit the things that never die are born. CHAPTER XI Dr. Torsey’s Administration The ensuing Methodist Annual Conference met at Bangor (1844) and the Trustees of the Seminary arranged for a meeting at the same time and place. Its fiscal affairs were at a standstill, and they voted unanimously to surrender their interests in the Seminary to the Conference, according to the conditions of the Trust Deed, which offer was as unanimously spurned by the Conference; mitigating the refusal, however, with the proposal to still aid the Board with their influence in maintaining the school. This action of the Conference created a coldness between the Trustees and that body that was felt for years afterward. The Trustees met at Kent’s Hill soon after that and resolved to make one more effort for the relief of the school. Luther Sampson annulled all annuities and contributed fifteen hundred dollars toward needed improvements. The old Seminary building had become untenantable and a new one must be built. To this end, one fourth of an acre was secured in the northwest corner of David Wheelock’s field, the present site of Bearce Hall, and preparations made to build thereon. 'Squire Underwood, of Fayette Mills, had a kiln of pressed brick at the foot of the hill, intended for a new store, but which, instead, he sold to the Trustees, and these, together with the old brick procured from the Seminary that was being razed to prevent its tumbling down, sufficed to construct a plain, but neat and convenient school building, 40x60 feet, two stories high, at a cost of about three thousand dollars, half of which, as already noted, Mr. Sampson gave. Meantime, the school was in operation. The bell had been taken down and set up on four posts in front of the Mansion, and rooms enough for recitation purposes appropri­ ated from the boarding house. �32 Rev. D. B. Randall gave up his appointment to act as agent for the Trustees to procure the surrender of scholar­ ships and compromise or settle claims against the Institution. In this he was eminently successful, and secured funds neces­ sary for building the new Seminary. Many cancelled their claims, among them Dr. Allen, relinquishing one thousand dollars due on salary. The value of Elder Randall’s services in this year of reconstruction have never been duly recognized. He was a most successful pleader, and, though severely criticized by some, he accomplished a work that freed the Trustees from their embarrassments by scraping off the barnacles that had impeded progress. There was nothing left to them but their realty, and much of this, the farm especially, was much depreciated; but they knew just what they had in hand and what to depend upon. Debts were no longer staring them in the face; the manual labor scheme was dropped, and only the school was on their hands. This was placed on an independ­ ent basis by the arrangement with Mr. Torsey, and they began again. Looking back over the two score years, a visionary haze seems to envelope them. The convictions of a prosperous farmer that it was his duty to share his means with the com­ munity around him, the crude conception of how to do it, and the fear lest the means be misused, are by themselves a chapter in human life. Luther Sampson now practically retires from the stage of action. He has occupied the middle of the stage to the present time, but now has cancelled all obligations of the Institution he has founded to himself, and in addition has contributed nearly half of the new venture. He was of the Puritan type, brought up to the hard and fast facts of colonial times, and he looked at the world as it moved about him. He schemed for his pound of flesh, but when he had gained it he was willing to divide with the Lord. All men do not do this ’Tn SeyemiBht- Fafcher Robinson relates how at one time ..non Mr. Sampson was arranging with him for the bestowal ' three thousand dollars, he suggested that his son might not �33 be agreeable to this, Father Sampson drew back, and straight­ ening up addressed him: “Ezekiel, that money is not David’s; it is the Lord’s,” and to the Lord it went. Such men may seem hard to the world, but be it remembered that the mold they are cast in is not easily changed; it might not be bettered if attempted. That Mr. Sampson was disappointed in the business ability of some of the men he associated with himself is evident, and that he disagreed with them at times as to the methods of conducting affairs cannot be doubted; and that he early retired from the Board to avoid the vexatious dis­ cussions that men of theories without the practice were con­ stantly provoking, is still further evident. It is also apparent that his own views of what was desir­ able to accomplish changed; that it was an evolution of thought that worked out the conception of a Seminary such as would meet the wants of the common people. Mr. Sampson began by building as he knew, but ere the first plan was developed a larger structure rose up before him, and he attempted to adapt the same means to the larger end. To this end he had no experience as a guide, neither had any of those associated with him; hence the financial failure that followed. The conception was equal to anything that has been devised, but a hundred thousand has not been found equal to what ten thousand attempted. Dr. Torsey’s career as the head of Maine Wesleyan Seminary for thirty-eight years is one of the notable events of its history,—at present the most notable. With a common school education and such additions as he was able to make as a student and assistant where he was now in charge, his original research and wonderful tact soon placed him in the lead of educators in New England. The effect of such leadership was soon apparent. Students flocked to Kent’s Hill in such numbers that accom­ modations at the Seminary or on the Hill were inadequate, and the region around within a radius of two miles was taxed for board and rooms. The Trustees of to-day, in their monopoly of board, forget their appeal in the day of need and �34 how it was met. The desire for an education by those who can ill afford it is just as great as ever, but the world that has prospered has grown cold. The open door that Kent’s Hill once offered would fill its halls again. The growth of the school soon raised a clamor for more room. The confidence of the public was restored, and at the session of the Maine Conference in 1853 a convention of the friends of education in the church met to consider its interests. Much enthusiasm was manifested. Dr. Torsey advocated the broadening of the curriculum of studies to include a college for women. Generous sums were subscribed towards the erection of a new building, Dr. Eliphalet Clark, of Port­ land, heading the list with one thousand dollars, and others with smaller amounts. Rev. Stephen Allen was appointed agent to solicit funds for the object in view; and, to avoid the mistakes of former agencies, a separate Board of Trust was organized under an act of the Legislature, with the title of Maine Wesleyan Board of Education, for the safe-keeping of funds. The agency was continued year after year, part of the time in connection with a pastoral charge, Mr. Torsey and others rendering assistance, till a sufficient sum was raised to warrant the construction of a new building. Plans were obtained, and in June, 1858, ground was broken and the laying of the corner-stone observed by an address from William H. Allen, President of Girard College. Dr. Allen was himself a Readfield boy and an alumnus of Maine Wesleyan Seminary. The building now known as Sampson Hall was com­ pleted and dedicated in August, 1860. This time the address was by Rev. Charles F. Allen, of the Maine Conference. Dr. Stephen Allen, in addition to his agency, acted as Chairman and Treasurer of the Building Committee, kept all accounts, drew up all contracts, signed and endorsed personally all notes for borrowed money, till the Hall was completed and furnished at a cost of fifty thousand dollars. This was a large sum for the times, and a larger sum for a Methodist minister to be accountable for, but never a note went to protest, nor payment of a contract delayed beyond the time. �35 It was truly a monumental work, supported and carried for­ ward by the character of the man who stood for it. CHAPTER XII Woman’s College On the opening of the Fall term, 1860, a new mile-stone in the history of the Seminary was set; the curriculum was enlarged to include a college course for young ladies, the com­ pletion of which would entitle them to a degree. The faculty was increased to meet this demand, and the Principal became a President. Funds were in waiting to meet these advances, and the Institution was on a solid financial basis which it was pledged to maintain. The opening of a college for women was in itself a notable event. A Female Institute had been opened in 1856, at Carmel, N. Y. Mary Lyon’s Seminary for girls at Holyoke was in operation, and a still older one at Bradford, Massachusetts, but none of these conferred degrees. Maine Wesleyan at Kent's Hill antedates Vassar four years; Wellesley and Bryn Mawr, ten years, and Smith, fourteen years. For a time it met the purpose of its founder, viz.: to afford the girls who were in the same classes with the boys preparing for college an open opportunity to keep abreast of them, and was popular in so doing, but the shadow of the Seminary has always obscured the College. Its graduates, however, have always made good whenever tested, and are entitled to an honorary recognition by reason of their achievement with those of like educational institu­ tions in the land. J ustice required that a line of demarcation be drawn between the Seminary and the College, but this has never been accorded, and to-day it languishes because pro­ fessed friends have turned their backs to it at the last hour for the sake of a name; perhaps its light has gone out. Dr. Torsey closed his connection with the school as President of its Faculty with the Spring term of 1882, after thirty-eight years of continuous service. The latter years he had not been as efficient as formerly, by reason of impaired health, due to a reckless disregard of his physical powers, but that extreme personality was ever dominant. His aim ever �36 was to make men and women, rather than scholars, and he succeeded. Who that ever heard his impassioned address when a moment of inspiration was on him at the close of a chapel service was ever able to shake off the impression of the hour? He had his imperfections, like other great souls, but despite these he lived and will live in the larger life that his larger conception of life inspired in the life around him. All life is for eternity, and such lives lead the way up the ascending plane the generations of men are climbing, the ultimate of which is the Greater Man. CHAPTER XIII Bearce Hall One want supplied reveals another, and it was soon found that although a chapel and college recitation room had been temporarily supplied in Sampson Hall, the want of more class room was keenly felt. The teachers said: “We will not ask for a raise of salary if you will give us more room.” Planning for ways and means began anew. In 1871, Dr. Torsey’s Seminary was razed and the foundations of Bearce Hall laid, which was builded and first occupied the Fall term of 1874, at a cost of forty thousand dollars. This time a few men were prominent, and a general subscription avoided. Prominent among them were Samuel R. Bearce, of Lewiston, and William Deering, of Portland,—Mr. Bearce with twenty thousand dollars and Mr. Deering with six thousand for the chapel. Over twenty-five thousand dollars of interest-bearing funds are now in the hands of the Trustees, and twenty thousand, to which was later added fifty thousand from the estate of Dr. Eliphalet Clark, of Portland, in the keeping of the Maine Wesleyan Board of Education, the income of which was to be applied solely to instruction in the Seminary and College. Other funds had been contributed from time to time by generous friends for the benefit of students, library, etc., till the amount of investments for educational purposes exceeded one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. A Con­ servatory of Music and Art School were among the attrac­ tions of the school. �37 This was the condition of affairs when Dr. Torsey retired at the close of the Spring term, 1882, and was succeeded by Rev. Edgar M. Smith. Mr. Smith was also a Maine boy, an alumnus of the Seminary, a graduate of Wesleyan University and a popular preacher. There was now at the head of the institution a highly cultured man, who was to make himself known as a great teacher. He soon demonstrated this in his classes, and in turn gave a scholarly tone to the facul ty board that reacted on the school. Especially was this felt in the Woman’s College, and in this he was greatly aided by Mrs. Smith—herself a graduate of the College—by reason of her charming personality, felt by any circle in which she moved. President Smith was capricious in his methods of disci­ pline, and therefore was not always a success for himself or with the students. He continued in charge till the close of the Spring term, 1893,—eleven years. He had become some­ what restive under the restraints of the Trustees by their not seconding some of his plans, and in June of that year he was elected to and accepted the presidency of the Montpelier, Vermont, Seminary. CHAPTER XIV Blethen and Ricker Halls When Dr. Smith came to Kent’s Hill there was no President’s House, Dr. Torsey living in his own house, but again generous friends came to the rescue and Blethen Hall was erected, Alden J. Blethen, an old-time student, contri­ buting half the cost. A business college was instituted by President Smith, which was very successful under its first Principal, William A. Barton. The increasing wants of the Music and Art Departments necessitated the building of Ricker Hall in 1893. This enter­ prise developed another generous giver in the person of J. S. Ricker, of Deering, for whom the hall was named. Later, steam heat was introduced into all the school buildings by installing a plant in the rear of Sampson Hall. Many improvements were projected and carried out during this �38 administration, but in providing for them the Trustees departed from the rule that had prevailed up to the close of Dr. Torsey’s administration, that no expenditures be incurred before there were means to pay for them; and a debt of con­ siderable dimensions was piling up. When Dr. Smith left the State he was beginning to be appreciated as a public speaker and gaining quite a popu­ larity thereby. Let it be known that he was to preach at a given place, and there would be a congregation to hear him. He was not particularly brilliant, but attractive in his dis­ course; of the kind people liked to hear. The quest for a successor to Dr. Smith was a prolonged one. No alumnus or eastern man was available, and the choice fell ultimately on the President of a western college in the person of Rev. Charles W. Gallagher, a graduate of Wesleyan. Mr. Gallagher came to Maine Wesleyan highly recom­ mended. A fine scholar, an entertaining speaker, he entered upon his work with a large degree of promise. The broadness of the Seminary’s work surprised him. Whereas he thought he was coming to a merely preparatory school, he found courses of study equal to, as he expressed it, two years in college. His wife was a woman of culture, and the interest she took in the young ladies of the Seminary and College was not only helpful to them, but an aid to him. He was in a measure successful in the school room, but for some reason had not the tact and control necessary to be exercised in a school of such mixed character, and in the Conference embroglio over the Frank Jones affair at the annual session in Portland, 1897, he took advantage of the situation to resign. This incident in the history of the Board of Trustees deserves, perhaps, a passing notice. At a meeting of the Trustees in Portland, in 1896, there were four vacancies to be filled in the Board. Nominations and election to three of them were made without comment, but when the fourth was reached there was a halt. At length J. S. Ricker, sitting in the middle of the room with his hands on his knees in a thoughtful mood, raised his head and said: “I have a man, F t �39 but don’t know what you will think of him,—it is Frank Jones. I have known Mr. Jones a good many years and have always found him a man; his word is as good as his bond, I asked him not long since what he was going to do with his money when he was done with it. ‘Oh,’ he replied, ‘there will be uses enough to put it to.’ I said, ‘Why don’t you put it where it will be doing good after you are gone?’ He asked where. I replied, ‘There is the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Woman’s College.’ He retorted, ‘I will if you will,’ and I answered back, ‘I have been doing it for three years; come on.’ ” Mr. Ricker said no more. The propriety of such a move was up to the Trustees. The vote on the election of Mr. Jones was nearly unanimous. President Gallagher and Dr. Allen refrained from voting. The Maine Conference was at the time in session at Auburn, but failed to notice the act of the Trustees. At the session in Portland, however, the following year, the matter was violently ventilated in a heated discussion. The result of the onslaught on Mr. Jones was, whereas he had purposed to equal the bequest of Mr. Ricker,—twenty-five thousand dollars—he ultimately cut it to ten thousand. CHAPTER XV Chase and Trefethen Administrations At the annual meeting of the Trustees in June, 1897, the President of the Board was authorized to engage A. Fitzroy Chase, then Principal of Bucksport Seminary, which he did before the meeting closed. President Chase was not unknown to Kent’s Hill. He had been a successful teacher of the department of Mathe­ matics during part of Dr. Torsey’s administration and was noted for his energy and forcefulness in whatever he under­ took; so much so that he often overstepped bounds; never­ theless, he was a great teacher. He was one of those men of quick comprehension, who take in the situation at a glance and proceed to act, regardless �■ 40 of others’ opinions, and hence their collisions. They are leaders; they cannot be trusted in the rear; they will run onto you. President Chase gave to the institution two forceful years of service. During the Fall term of 1899, he was attacked by a malignant abscess on his neck, whose virus soon entered the circulation, and he died October 22nd. Too early gone! On the decease of President Chase, Professor Henry Emerson Trefethen, Dean of the Woman’s College, was appointed by the Prudential Committee, Acting President, and continued to exercise that office during the school year and until he was elected President. Professor Trefethen did not take kindly to the office; its duties were irksome to him; he much preferred the quietude of his chair in Ancient Languages at a less salary, to the responsibilities of the presidential office, and was glad to resign it at the annual meeting in 1903. His administration was characterized by judicial firmness. He could not be aggressive, but was positive. He stoutly maintained that the student had rights that were to be carefully conserved, but woe to that student that forfeited his rights,—he appealed in vain. Professor Trefethen has been a long time in the service of the Seminary and College. He came to Kent’s Hill a young man at the beginning of his professional career. He has grown grey in the service. He has always retained the respect of the student body,—the one teacher of whom they have said, “If we ask Prof. Trefethen a question we do not have to wait till to-morrow to get an answer.” He has equally the confidence of the community around him. Public men who come in contact with him are surprised at the breadth of his knowledge in civic affairs, and accord him a high place as a man of sound judgment. We wish sometimes that he was more aggressive, more ambitious of position and distinction, that the things he has learned might benefit others more. May what he has been and still is to Maine Wesleyan Seminary long be recognized. �41 CHAPTER XVI W. F. Berry’s Administration On the retirement of President Trefethen from the presidency, in 1903, the Trustees elected one of their own number to the position,—Rev. Wilbur F. Berry, of the Maine Conference. Dr. Berry came to the presidency without the previous preparation of his predecessors. The little experience he had had as a teacher was afar off; his life-work had been in the ranks of the Christian ministry, where he had gained a deserved reputation. It was no surprise, therefore, that he found himself somewhat out of place at the head of a literary institution. He was not a failure, however, for, self-con­ tained, he turned his attention to the outside interests of the Seminary and College and succeeded in building them up by personal effort, as none of his immediate predecessors had. Such work is necessary to be done by somebody, and President Berry did it well. When he came to the presidency he was Secretary of the Maine Civic League, and that body had continually clamored for his return, to which call he yielded and resigned at the close of the Spring term, 1909. He is now reinstated in his former work, where he serves without a peer. CHAPTER XVII The Newton Administration Begins At the meeting of the Trustees, June, 1909, it was a debatable question how the vacant place of President should be filled and who should fill it. The Woman’s College had practically ceased to be; no need of a President for that. At length it was suggested that the Vice-President of the faculty be elected Principal of the Seminary, leaving the presidency to be cared for hereafter. The suggestion prevailed. John Orville Newton, Professor of Natural Science, had for two or three years filled that place, and, in the absence of �42 the President, had been the head of the discipline of the school. He was elected Principal without a dissenting vote. Professor Newton was well equipped for the work. He had had experience in the best of schools for discipline,—the common school. He knew the boys, and, perhaps, the girls, and has the tact to manage them successfully. He promises to make good. Beginning with Dr. Chase, the late Presidents have been of the alumni of the Seminary and graduates of Wesleyan University. A move of far-reaching intent was begun by some of the friends of the school during the summer vacation of 1910, having in view the providing of culture with entertainment. It is sought to accomplish this in the first instance by a highly finished and well furnished recreation room on the first floor of Sampson Hall, on the boys’ side, where healthful games and pleasant sports can be enjoyed; and an equally attractive drawing room on the girls’ side, where they can turn aside for an hour from the tiresome drill of the text-book to the joy and freedom of social intercourse. This is an initial step Towards admitting the claim of most cultured men and women that something besides the letter makes for education. If this develops, as is hoped it will, then may it be demon­ strated with the opening of this twentieth century that the true object of an education, as a few choice spirits have always claimed, is the making of men and women—the development of manhood and womanhood that will always and everywhere adorn society. ��1 ■ ■- �History of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary by Hon.

Louise Greene were found in apiece of woodland iu Auburn, Me. She had left Kents Hill on the 23d of May, where she had been a student in the Maine Wesleyan Seminary from March, 1881. Sympathy for the afflicted friends of the deceased, the manner of her leaving Kents Hill, and preceding occurrences, naturally created considerable excite­ ment, which was increased by the circulation of many erroneous and unfounded stories and reports against the teachers and others connected with that Semin­ I ary. The Trustees have twice sought to have a fair and thorough investigation, in the presence and with the concurrence of Mr. Greene, for the purpose of deter­ mining, in a satisfactory manner, whether- the teachers or any other persons are culpable. But he has declined all.such proposals; and has chosen to appear before the public with his version of the affair, in a pamphlet of one hundred and sixty- two pages, recently published, entitled, “ The Crown Won but not Worn.” On the second page, Mr. Greene says it is his object “to circulate this pam­ phlet as extensively as possible”; and he has been pressing its sale in every 0 direction. The charges of prejudice, neglect, misconduct and gross cruelty, with which the pamphlet abounds, arc calculated to do the greatest injustice to the Institu­ tion and all connected with its management, and to the denomination by whose liberality it has been chiefly sustained. These charges are so presented, and so interwoven with garbled extracts from anonymous letters, asseverations of Mr. Greene and his family, and al­ leged quotations from the diary of tho.deccased, that the pamphlet is suited to mislead the casual reader, and to create a prejudice cruel and unjust against the persons assailed. c, �* 2 The Trustees, therefore, Have deemed it their duty, as public servants en­ trusted with the care of this Institution, to present a plain and full statement of the facts: and to vindicate the Seminary and its officers from undeserved censure. And they have appointed the undersigned members of the Board of Trustees, to take such measures, as might seem just and proper, to defend the Seminary against these persistent assaults. We have endeavored to present the case fairly and truthfully in the following pages, to which we invite the attention of the public. We have carefully avoided any statements injurious to the reputation of the deceased, excepting what strict justice to the living required. And we regret that the extraordinary course of Mr. Greene has imposed the painful necessity of presenting any facts unfavorable to her character. ANSON P. MORRILL, DANIEL B. RANDALL, STEPHEN ALLEN. j I ■ ■ �GREENE’S PAMPHLET Mr. Greene charges, among other things, that one of the printed rules of the Seminary, which required that all articles of clothing put in the wash should be plainly marked with the ownei s name, was not adhered to ; “that many articles sent to the wash by teachers, students and even help, were unmarked’'; that foi students to take articles from the unmarked pile, not their own, when their own were missing, was not only prac­ tised, but allowed, if not advised, by those having charge of that department”; that the articles found in his daughter’s room, “of which she had any knowledge, and which were not hers, were there by necessity, and not by theft, her own being gone”; that Miss Case and others claimed as their own and took from his daughter’s room some unmarked articles, “when the chances were equal that they were Louise’s.” lie states that a very large number of articles were lost by Louise, and insinuates, if he does not directly assert, that some of them were stolen or wrongfully detained by teachers or others em­ ployed at the Seminary. He says that the skeleton key, which it appears she had had for some years at Kents Hill, and with which she could unlock all the students’ rooms, was given to her, “and kept as a kind of keepsake; and that while having the key was charged against her as a crime, no attempt has ever been made to prove that she ever used it wrongfully.” As to the five dollars, taken by Louise, he alleges that “she did not equivocate nor deny it, but confessed and restored it without hesitation, when no evidence or proof was attempted to be brought against her”; that she was treated with great harshness, and “accused, tried, condemned and virtually ex­ pelled,” in a most reprehensible manner. !/ jt fl if I is • �r 4 lie claims that this cruel treatment was the result of preju­ dice and hatred, because she would not adopt the religious opinions of her teachers. . He asserts that his daughter "left Kents Hill in the morning in a state of extreme mental excitement, in her soiled every­ day apparel, after divesting herself of her jewelry, and taking nothing but her reticule with her; that it was known to Dr. Torsey°that she had so left, in the forenoon, and concern and fears were expressed to him that she would destroy herself be­ fore night; yet no means were taken to watch, follow, or pro­ ject her, until her sister, at six o’clock in the afternoon, was sent home,a distance of twenty-five miles in a direction opposite -0 that Louise had taken, to give him information, where she did not arrive till twelve o’clock that night.” Many other charges are scattered through the pamphlet, s:me of which will be noticed hereafter. In attempting to sustain his charges, Mr. Greene introduces, —hat he savs, are extracts from letters he has received, without ■ziving the names of the writers, statements he says he has heard from persons not named, and extracts alleged to have been taken from the diary of his daughter. He Las endeavored to create the belief that the teachers of ie Seminary should be held accountable for the death of his -laughter: and that the Institution and those connected with it instead of being sustained, should be execrated by the public. �ACTION OF THE TRUSTEES. When the remains of Miss Greene had been found, Mr. S. R. Bearce of Lewiston, one of the Trustees, took prompt measures to have au inquest held. He sent for Mr. Torsey and Mr. Daggett, and as Mr. Hamlin, the coroner, was in Bethel, he also sent notice by telegraph to him; but Mr. Greene left with the remains of his daughter before the coroner arrived. At the Methodist Conference in Bath, in May, 1867, a number of the Trustees being in town, an informal meeting was held ; and a committee was appointed to investigate the case at the annual meeting to be held about four weeks afterwards. Mr. Greene was notified of this arrangement by the Secre­ tary, and also by Anson P. Morrill, Chairman of the Committee; and he was requested to meet the Committee and present any grievances he might have. This plan was adopted by the Trustees, to allow Mr. Greene an opportunity to prepare for the investigation, and with the belief that an able and judicious committee could investigate the case conveniently and thoroughly, and without interrupting the regular' business of the annual meeting. But as the propo­ sal was declined by Mr. Greene, on the ground that the "Com­ mittee was appointed by the Trustees from their own mem­ bers,” the plan was abandoned. Copy from Secord of Trustees’ Annual Meeting, June 5, 1S67. "In accordance with a request of Dr. Torsey, it was voted, to make a thorough investigation of the administration of the Faculty in the case of Miss M. Louise Greene, now deceased (Mr. Torsey and Mr. Robinson being both excused from actiug �r 6 in this investigation at their own own request, request, and and A. A. “1P. P. Morrill Morrill appointed chairman, and J. J. Perry, secretary). To this end, witnesses were examined at length, after which the subject was quite fully discussed by different gentlemen of the Board. Rev. S. Allen then offered the following preamble and resolutions, which, after a full discussion, were unanimous­ ly adopted: Whereas certain reports have been published and industri­ ously circulated, during the past year, in which the administra­ tion of the School and particularly the conduct of the Rev. H. P. Torsey,the President, in the case of the late Miss M. Louise Greene, has been severely censured, although no complaints have been made to the Trustees, by the parties professing to have been aggrieved; and, whereas such reports are damaging in their tendency, and are calculated to mislead the public mind; therefore, Resolved, first, That, after a careful and patient hearing of the facts in the case, the Trustees find no ground for censure against H. P. Torsey or any other person concerned m the management of the Institution, in*the case of the late Miss M.

Greene; that he had been a teacher in Oxford county, and having learned that the case of Miss Greene was to be investigated, and supposing that the meeting of the Trustees would be open to the public, he had come to hear the investi­ gation. He was informed that this was the annual meeting of the Trustees, and that their regular business must first be attended to ; that it was not certain that the case of Miss Greene would be taken up. After considerable conversation, Mr. Knight retired, and the Trustees proceeded to their regular business. During the session, Mr. Torsey informed the Trustees that he desired them to investigate his administration, in the case of Miss Greene; accordingly, an evening session was agreed upon for this purpose; and Mr. Knight, who was still in the neigh­ borhood, was invited to be present. He accordingly came in, and remained till the close of the investigation, at a late hour in the night. He was then requested by the chairman, to ask the witnesses any questions he might wish, and to make any remarks he might see fit. He replied that he had no question to ask, and he could not see but the investigation had been conducted fairly and honorably; and that no blame could be attached to the teachers, so far as lie could judge, or words to this effect. From the notices of this Trustees’ meeting, by Mr. Greene in his book (page 135), it is evident that this Mr. Knight was sent by Mr. Greene, to act as a spy upon the proceedings of the Trustees; and it has been lately ascertained, that Mr.’Greene employed him to prevent fliss flira I. Heed from testifying before the meeting of the Trustees. And yet Mr. Greene repeatedly charges Mr. Torsey with employing "pimps and spies"! On the 14th of November, 1867, a meeting of the Trustees was held at Lewiston, at which a resolution was adopted, that will be found in the following letter from Mr. Deering: Letter from Hr. Deering to fir. Greene. Poutland, Nov. 15, 1867, Ilex. .Toxas Greene—Dear Sir: At a meeting of the Trustees �8 of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Female College? holden yesterday at Lewiston, a Resolve was passed, a copy of which I subjoin. The resolution was prefaced by a preamble referring to cer­ tain reports, now and heretofore circulated, in regard to the unfortunate and painful circumstances attending the death of your daughter, Miss M. Louise Greene; - and in reference to the book recently issued by you purporting to be a statement of the facts and circumstances connected with the sad affair. It is believed by the Trustees that your book is not fair and impartial, and that your inferences and insinuations are unjust and malicious. I quote from the preamble—"And we deem it but justice to Mr. Greene and to ourselves that an opportunity should be afforded Mr. Greene to prove his statements to be true, or if untrue, to correct and retract such statements, and if any parties have been blameworthy, that censure should rest where it belongs.” The Trustees desire the case shall have a full and impartial investigation by competent and disinterested men. They have, therefore, determined to ask you to consent that the whole case be submitted to, and investigated by competent men, with a vie w to having their report placed before the public. To precludethe possibility of an improper selection, they propose that either Judges Davis, Shepley or Barrows or some other man like these, of eminent standing, to be agreed upon by the par­ ties, shall be asked to appoint three suitable men, before whom Both narties may appear with witnesses, counsel and testimony. L “PPT ent to you, and I shall feel obliged, if you will inform me, without delay, by letter, if you will or will not accede to the proposition. ------- acceptance, the details in regard to the If you signify you be arranged hereafter, and should be as soon as reference can L I am, respectfully yours, .practicable. William Deering. , rm + Wrn Deering- of Portland be authorized to . �9 to nominate a reference, consisting of disinterested and honor­ able legal gentlemen, to whom the whole matter, together with, all the testimony and facts in the case may be referred, and whose decision in the case shall be final; and whose opinion, together with the testimony, shall be laid before the community in such a manner as said reference may determine. [All of the following affidavits were duly signed and sworn to. In copying, we have omitted signatures and certificates of Magistrates, for brevity.] Affidavit of Pev. II. P. Torsey. The earliest misconduct which I find charged against me in Mr. Greene’s pamphlet, is my refusal in the fall of 186-1, to permit his daughter to go to Mr. Chapman’s. At that time, Miss Greene met me on the Seminary grounds, and desired permission to leave the Hill, and spend the night and the next day with Mary Chapman. I asked her if she had a permit from her father. She said she had not. I reminded her of the rule requiring such permission, explained its neces­ sity, and assured her that the denial I was obliged to give, was given with reluctance; but that I hall neither the right nor the power to disregard the rule, or make her case an exception; but that cases must be exceptional in themselves. I have never varied from this rule knowingly. In the most friendly manner, I urged her not to ask me to do an unfair or unjust act. A short time afterward, she met me on the street, and again importuned me. I again assured her of my desire to gratifv herself and friend; and repeated my reasons for declining. Later in the evening, after I had retired, suffering severely from neuralgic pains in my eyes and head, she came with Miss Chap­ man to my house, and for the third time pressed her request. I replied as before; when she in sharp tones replied, as I under­ stood her, "I must say, you are unjust.” I told her I was not accustomed to such language from students. She asked pardon, but in a tone that seemed insincere and insulting. I then requested her to leave, telling her she could not expect further favors in that direction. This refusal of favors (as I afterwards explained to her) referred exclusively to her going to Mr. Chapman’s; and was made not on account of any diffi­ culty between Mr. Chapman and myself, for we were on the �10 • most friendly terms, but because she had been there three times without permission, once after having been refused by Prof. Robinson, and had insultingly censured me for a reluctant refusal to go a fourth time, contrary to our established rules and Another complaint made against me in the pamphlet, relates to an interview with Miss Greene in the room of Miss Robin­ son, one of our teachers, in April, 1865. Miss Robinson asked me to talk with Miss Greene concern­ ing her influence, which appeared prejudicial to good order; and her apparent hostility to the rules of the school. Miss ■ Robinson said that she had conversed with her on the subject, and thought a friendly talk by me would do her good. In the interview that followed, I made no complaint of any violation of rules; but expressed an apprehension that she was not ex­ erting so favorable an influence as would be desirable. I as­ sured her of the friendly feelings of the teachers, and besought her to abandon the course she had pursued. She at first de­ nied that her influence had been bad, or her spirit unfriendly to our discipline; and asked what evidence I had. I cited in­ stances that had been named to me ; and remarked that it must be true, to some extent, or so many different persons would not have received the same impression. On directly appealing to her if it was not so, she admitted it, and asked what could be done. I advised her to determine to conform to the rules, and to do it from the heart, or her good purposes would failthis remark, I had no reference to her religious opinions, nor was there anything said upon that subject. I spoke of the few rules we had, and of the importance of a hearty co-operation o the students with the teachers, in having them adhered to. 11 this, I pledged the teachers’ aid and sympathy. At the close of our interview, she said she should feel differently and wou change her course. The statements in Mr. Greene’s pamphlet, concerning 1S daughter’s leaving Kents Hill, are grossly false, so far as anl concerned, or have any knowledge. . The Monday evening before Louise left, Miss Case ca c. me and informed me that Miss Greene had been taking ai tic of clothing not belonging to her, and that Mrs. Daggett herself were investigating the matter. I requested her \ 1 4 �11 quietly, and to say nothing to any one about the matter. I had also learned that Miss Greene had taken some money. On Wednesday morning, at the request of the Faculty, I called to converse with her; having no authority or desire to ■ expel her from the school. No one knew of the interview ex­ cept the Faculty. Miss Case, at my request, called her into the College parlor. Miss Greene informed me what she had done; spoke of hav­ ing taken clothing before; said something about intending to return it at the close of the term. As to the money she said "a devil tempted her to take it.” On being asked what she in­ tended to do under these circumstances so afflicting to her and ' to us, she replied : “ It is known or will be ; and I cannot re­ main here, but shall leave the school.” I told her the teachers had said nothing of the matter to others, and that they would not speak of it, and had expressed no feeling but of pity and sorrow ; that I did not know whether any of the students knew, it, but it would be difficult to have it kept a secret where so many parties were concerned; that if she left then, it must be of her own choice. She expressed a desire to go to her uncle’s at Lewiston, and write her father to meet her there, as she would not then risk the refusal of a reception by her parents. I told her that parental love was stronger thau pride or passion, and they would receive her. After further conversation, she seemed convinced, and promised to go to her parents. Had she not determined to leave, the case would have been presented to the Faculty, for final settlement. In the investiga­ tion and settlement, her parents would have been allowed to take part, whether she remained Or returned with them; or as I told her, she could present statements and explanations in writing, to the teachers, trustees or school. After she determined to go home, I asked her which way she was accustomed to go. She named the usual way, but said she sometimes went by way of Lewiston. To avoid her attracting attention, and from regard to her feelings, I proposed to pro­ cure a conveyance for her; aud to speak to her sister to go with her, and to explain matters to her parents. She said she would go to her sister's room and make arrangemeuts with her. She thought she had better leave that day, I then suggested, it would be well to start soon after dinner. J �12 k After twelve o'clock, I was told that she had left for Lewiston. I supposed she had gone to her uncle’s, or had concluded to g0 home that way. Later in the day, on learning she had gone in her every-day clothing, I feared she might not stop at Lewis­ ton: but had no suspicion she would commit suicide. I had not then heard that she had ever attempted it before. I then determined to send some one to Lewiston to look after her and prevent her going further, if she had not already done so; and I spoke to Mr. Benjamin Harriman to go with his team. But after consulting with others, I concluded to ascer­ tain first, by the return train, whether she had stopped at Lew­ iston. On learning she had stopped there, I sent a student, Mr. Chandler, with her sister, to her father’s at Peru; telling her sister to explain all to her father, and Mr. Chandler to com­ municate to him my fears, and to advise him to be at Lewiston before any morning train should leave. I also wrote a brief note to Mr. Greene, assuring him of my deep sympathy in this affliction. In my interview with Miss Greene, I made no comments on the character or magnitude of her offense, nor did I censure her, in word or tone. She spoke of having drifted away from for­ mer principles; and I urged her to commit herself and her case to the Saviour, and not to allow this to ruin her future. I did not tell her that she could or could not graduate; that was a question for the Faculty to decide; nor that she would or would not receive her diploma. The diplomas were at the disposal of the Trustees, whose action I could not control or predict. But when trying to encourage her, I told her I would be her friend, and do all I consistently could for her. She exhibited no signs of insanity. She seemed calm at first, but when speaking of her reception at home, was much affected. She asked me if her going home would be expulsion. I replied) certainly not. The Faculty had taken no action in the case, except to advise me to converse with her. Many quotations, attributed to me in the pamphlet, are false, 01 are so made up of fragments of different sentences, or of sen fences out of their proper connection, as to convey false in' pressions. I have never said Miss Greene’s character was irreproacha« mid not gradle. I did not represent her as saying, “If she cot-... 1*1 �13 uate there was no future for her.” Nor, "I want this kept from the school, and stay and graduate.” Nor did I say, “If she went to Lewiston she must make arrangements with Chestina, about going.” “It would not have been best for her to have gone on the stage,” etc., was an expression of Louise’s views and feelings, not of mine. That I "told her that the school knew it,” is false. Speaking of a letter Miss Reed received from Mr. Greene, about the time of our last annual Trustee meeting, Mr. G. says: . “Mr. Torsey could watch and know that this lady student had received a letter from me, and was so impertinent as to go to this student, who was to graduate the next day, and just then would feel great hesitancy to deny his request and ask her for that letter, which he took immediately and read before this committee, as I am informed.” I had no intimation that Miss Reed bad such a letter, till she brought it or sent it to me, informing me she supposed Mr. Greene wished me to see it; and as its contents had reference to his not appearing before the committee, with the consent of Miss Reed, 1 read it to them.* I am charged in many places in the pamphlet with being habitually cruel and tyrannical as a teacher. In connection with other teachers, I have had the care of about seven thou­ sand students at Kents Hill; and I cheerfully leave my repu­ tation, in this respect, in their keeping. I send to the commit­ tee, with this, a few of the letters I have received on account of the assaults in that pamphlet. I am also charged with narrow, sectarian views in religious matters; and with treating very unfairly and unjustly all who will not agree with me. I have been openly and avowedly a Methodist, and am heartily attached to that denomination ; but I have never favored a student because he was a Methodist, nor neglected nor slighted one because he was not. Of the students and others that have been employed by me as assistant-teachers, three were Baptists, two were Episcopa­ lians, five Congregationalists, seven Universal ists, two Free Will Baptists, nineteen Methodists, and the religious sentiments of the remaining twenty, were unknown to me. •The above statement is fully confirmed by a letter from Miss Bead in our hands.—Committee. �14 About one-half of the religious students have been Method­ ists in sentiment. As a specimen of the spirit with which Mr. and Mrs. Greene have pursued me, I send to the Committee, with this, letters from Mrs. Greene to me, which I submit to their disposal. Affidavit of F. A. Robinson, J. L. Morse, D. G. Harriman and Miss Phronle B. Robinson. [The first three were Professors and the last a teacher in the Seminary in 1866 and previously,] Near the close of the Spring term, 1866, and a few days • after Miss Greene left, a meeting of the Faculty was called at the request of Mr. and Mrs. Greene, and was held at Mr. Torsey’s, and continued from about eight in the morning, till noon. Mr. and Mrs. Greene appeared greatly excited, and used violent and abusive language, towards Mr. Torsey and other members of the Faculty. They condemned us all, in the sever­ est terms; and repeatedly said that we had disgraced and destroyed, and were the murderers of their child. In reply to their criminations and misrepresentations, neither Mr. Torsey nor any other teacher uttered a harsh or unkind word. Our only feelings were those of pity for the daughter, whose fate was then unknown; and sympathy for her parents. The assertions in Mr. Greene’s pamphlet, that Mr. Torsey "stamped upon the floor, thus trying to stop us and stamp us down in that way”; that “Torsey virtually admitted that he was prejudiced against Louise”; and that “he admitted that it would disgrace his wife to take her (Louise) in, a few hours,” are utterly unb ue and unfounded; and many other statements con­ cerning that meeting, by exaggeration and misrepresentation are virtually false. In another place he says, that we (the Faculty) "have never offered to assist in the search for Louise.” This is also untrue ; lor near the close of that meeting, Mr. Torsey said to them,hat avails all this crimination? The object now should be tie finding of Louise. How can we aid you in this matter? e are ready to do anything in our power to assist you.” The charges made by Mr. Greene, in other places in his pam­ phlet, that large sums of money had been stolen from various parhes, and that we kept these matters covered up, are grossly �15 In all cases of discipline that have come before us, Mr. Torsey has always exhibited a spirit of great kindness and forbear­ ance ; and the oft-repeated charges against him, of cruelty and prejudice toward Louise, are unjust and untrue. At the Faculty meeting held the evening before she left, no other action was taken than to request Mr. Torsey to converse with her upon the subject. Affidavit of 3Ilss Frances S. Case. [Preceptress.] My suspicions in regard to Miss Greene, were first excited by the following circumstance: Miss Church told me that five dollars had been taken from her room; and that she was satis­ fied it was done by Miss Greene. Two or three days afterwards, Mrs. Daggett told me that several articles of clothing, which were known to belong to other parties, had come into ‘the wash in Miss Greene’s bundle, with her own name on some of them. The servants knew’ this before, and had reported it. An interview was had with her in my room; Mr. and Mrs. Daggett being present. Upon being questioned, she confessed she took the five dollars from Miss Church's room ; also, that she had clothing that did not belong to her. I think she said she took the clothing from necessity; as all hers had been lost, and intended to restore it at the close of the term, or something to that effect. Mrs. Daggett and I then went to her room, with her consent. She opened her drawers and the first garment I noticed,! immediately recognized as one I had made for myself; and she said it did not belong to her. Several other articles were found; but I do not now remember to whom they belong­ ed. The "box,” referred to, she unlocked herself. When I discovered its character, I at once turned away, saying, you should have told me. I said nothing harsh or unkind. I could not refrain from weeping. I communicated the facts to her sister Chestina: ■ but did not make them known to any other student ; and had no conversation with any other student, on the subject, until I talked with her classmates, the next day. The servants had discovered the missing garments in her bundle; and reported the fact. The money was returned to Miss Church. Hence i �16 . circulation before the Faculty meeting, which ^TlXth^veninn-. I was present at the meeting. No was held r the; evam ’"d aa’isod veiy ‘ U1I did Mt advise Mary Chapman not to remain with her that and did Mt know that she did not intend to remain with her ’T had a conversation with her class (already referred to) • Th»v had heard the reports and were l^atTexXd. °I had a conversation with Mr Green^ IIe asked how Louise was regarded among the students. My an­ swer was to the effect, that she was quite popular He d’d «o ask my opinion of her; and I did not give it. I know I did not use the temm irreproachable, in relation to her character. 1 asked Mr. Greene if he censured us for searching her room. He said he did not; that it was our duty. Miss Greene told me that she had had a skeleton key, but for how many terms, I do not remember. She did not say that she had used it improperly; but Miss Church told me that her door was locked, when the money was taken from her room. At the Faculty meeting, Mr. and Mrs. Greene were present. Mr. Torsey did not, to my knowledge, stamp his foot upon the floor, nor in any way treat them uncivilly. On the contrary, he was most gentlemanly, kind and forbearing, notwithstanding Mr. and Mrs. Greene’s bitter vituperations, and misrepresenta­ tions of his acts. Affidavit of Afr. and Mrs. Daggett. {Steward and .Stewardess.] The first circumstances which led us to suspect Miss Greene of taking articles of clothing, not her own, was, that one of the help missed a pair of new drawers from the wash, and in two weeks from that time, Miss Greene put them into the wash, having her own name marked upon (hem with blue ink. The Monday before she left, site brought down a fortnight’s wash, in which were a chemise belonging to Julia Sherburne; another to Amanda Herriman; a pair of drawers to Miss Bel­ cher, and a handkerchief (marked') to Miss S. J. Fuller. These articles, having been identified and claimed by the per­ sons referred to, we questioned her, in the presence of Miss i i I �17 - i Case, in relation to them. She at first said they were her own. On being asked how the handkerchief came to be marked S. J. Fuller, she said that it belonged to Jennie Fuller, and that Miss Fuller knew she had it. On being told it had been shown Miss Fuller, and that she knew nothing about her having it, after a long pause, she acknowledged that she took the other articles from the ironing-room, and that they did not belong to her; but declined telling where she got the handkerchief. As other articles of clothing had been missed, it was suggest­ ed that an examination of her room should be made, and Mrs. Daggett and Miss Case accompanied Miss Greene to her room, for that purpose. She opened her two drawers, and there were found in them, a chemise belonging to Miss Case; another be­ longing to Miss Abbie Fuller; a towel belonging to Miss Robin­ son; and one, unmarked, which she said was not her own; two collars belonging to Miss Case; a handkerchief of Miss Carrie Straw, and a pair of undersleevcs of Miss Nancy Hunton. She at first said that one of the collars was hers; but afterwards, that it was not. She acknowledged that she knew the chemise belonged to Miss Fuller, having heard her speak of losing it, and giving an exact description of it. She was asked why she had not returned it; to which she replied, she supposed she should, if she had known this would come up. A short time before it came out about the clothing, Miss Florence Church missed a five dollar bill, from her room. When we found the missing clothes in Miss Greene’s room, we sus­ pected she might have had something to do with the money. On being questioned about it, she said she had not got it. But on being further questioned; she admitted, she went into Miss Church’s room and took the money from her portmonnaie, which was in her drawer; and that she passed it to Mrs. Kent. She restored the money before she left. Between the time of this conversation and the time of her leaving, it was found that she had a skeleton key which would open all the students’ rooms, and also the store-rooms. She acknowledged it had been in her possession, about three years. We have read Mr. Greene’s pamphlet, and find many of the statements in regard to the Boarding House and ourselves, are untrue. On-the fifth page, he says “that for students to take articles 2 / �18 . I •I ! | unmarked pile, not their own, when their own were Xins »» not only prMtisrf, « »ll‘>"ed’ ir”»l »d™'d. bj ■ I ] avin"- charge of that department.” ^oL'hJetohteenth page, he undertakes to state how articles from the wa°sh were delivered; and that the unmarked articles would make a very large pile. . , We will answer these statements, by giving an account of the management in the washing department from the time we came here, until the close of the term when Miss Greene left. The first week of each term, the students boarding at the College, when altogether in the dining-room, were notified when and where to bring in their articles for the wash ; and that they must be all plainly marked; and each room was furnished w.ith the printed rules of the boarding house, one of which requires that all articles be plainly marked. We find but few unmarked articles the first part of the term; but as it progresses, the marks on some of them wash out, which gives us more trouble than the few unmarked articles put in. When ready for delivery, the ladies’ clothes were sorted, and those belonging to the occupants of each room were put into boxes numbered the same as their rooms. The unmarked arti­ cles were spread out upon the table, so they could be easily picked out. At tea, Friday evening of each week, the ladies were requested, wrhen they left the table, to repair to the iron­ ing-room and get their clothes ; and thg head wash-girl was present to see to their delivery. When any one did not find all her articles in the box, she was told to select her own from those on the table. But in no instance were they ever told or allowed to take unmarked articles, not their own, in place o like articles lost; unless after an article had been placed upon the table several weeks, and unclaimed by any one ; then, in some instances, we have told students, who said they had os such an article, and needed one of that kind, to take it for Iia week, returning it to the wash. Also at the close of each tcrnb when there were unmarked pieces not taken, we have put u’ upon the table and requested the students, when all togct'^ to examine them carefully, and select their own; and after examination, if anything was left and a student claimed to > lost alike article, and we were satisfied it was true, �19 allowed it to be taken, but to be restored if an owner was found. This is the extreme limit of any liberty ive have either directly or indirectly given any student,—to take an article of clothing not belonging to them. . That articles of clothing do occasionally get misplaced, and sometimes lost, we do not doubt. But during our stay here, of over three years, we have never known a student, excepting Miss Greene, to take a marked or an unmarked article of cloth­ ing not known to be their own, unless by an arrangement with us. The gentlemen’s clothes were delivered in about the same manner, on a long unoccupied table in the dining-room, every Friday, as they went from the dinner-table, and ini our presence. We have never had much trouble or complaint among the gentlemen about the loss of clothing ; nor indeed with the la­ dies, excepting in the latter part of the spring term referred to. And so much complaint was made to us at that time, that rye made every effort we could to find out where they went to. The result was, that we found most of the missing articles in the possession of Miss Greene. On the 83d page, Mr. Greene says: "He (Daggett) told me that some time in the day, on the 22d of May, he was called to the room where Mrs. D., Miss 0., and Louise were to assist in the examination; and, after questioning her about the clothing, —especially about two handkerchiefs she had put in the wash, he questioned her about them all he desired, then asks her about the missing five dollars. He says: 'The first word she spoke she told him where it was, not denying a word. He asked her if she would get it. She said yes, and gave it to him soon after.’ ” I (Orrin Daggett) will here give an accurate account of the matter, which I distinctly remember. After Miss Greene’s equivocation about the marked Fuller handkerchief and other articles, I felt confident she took the money. I first asked her, “Where is that five dollar bill you took from Miss Church’s portmonnaie ?” She colored, hesi­ tated and said : “I have not got it.” Feeling still more con­ firmed, by her appearance, that she took the money, I asked, "What have you done with it ?” She did not answer for some minutes, nor until I advised her to disclose the whole thing. / �20 At last she said, “I gave it to Mrs. Kent.” I asked her if she would restore it, and she said she would, and did so the next morning. These questions and answers, as given above, I told Mr. Greene in the conversation which he undertakes to give. He did not seem satisfied, and asked me several questions, among which was, “What was the first thing she said in reply to your second question, 'what have you done with it ?’ ?” I told him, she said she gave it to Mrs. Kent. I did not tell him that “she told me where it was, not denying a word.” Separate Affidavit of Mrs. Daggett. Monday, May 21st, Miss Greene brought down a bundle of clothing for the wash, rvitha list of the same, which she was not in the habit of putting- in, and is not generally practised by the students. This led the wash-girls to notice them more particu­ larly. They recognized some articles that were missing, and had been so minutely described that they brought them up to me. One chemise answered the description of the one Miss Sherborne missed. So I took it to her room, not as Mrs. Greene says, to see if she would own it, but to see if it was hers. She and her room-mate both said it was. A pair of drawers, I showed to Miss Belcher, being just such as she had described as missing, and she said they were the same. I did not know to whom the other chemise belonged, until after it was ironed and laid upon the table, where Miss Harriman found and claimed it, saying it was the one she lost two or three weeks before The handkerchief marked S. J. Fuller, was a common linen one and I should think nearly new. Mr. Greene states that I said it was an old one with holes in it, which I utterly deny Finding so many articles in addition to the garment she marked a few weeks before, led us to think there might be more brXTM-50^TuesdyTm°™^’ they were down to breakfast, Miss Case and I went into her room, and saw in her drawers, articles of clothing, which we recognized as belonging • ° tT H°ne "J bGlon-cd t0 Miss Case. Thinking Ly am! 7ishiQff t0 -Ce Bmong hol, a ™’’n “”to 1 ta .1 Here wore �21 her. She said she believed there were; and went to her drawer and took out the garment of Miss Case and handed it to. me. I then asked her if there were any more. She, after again look­ ing over her drawers and taking up articles which I knew were not her own, said there were not. This was all that was said about the clothing there. I then told her Mr. Daggett wished to see her, and we went to Miss Case’s room. Here was where we had the investigation; after which Miss Case and I went with her to her room, where we found the articles mentioned in a former statement. This was Tuesday forenoon, and I never mentioned the subject to her afterwards. Miss Greene had nice under-clothing in her trunk, for exhibi­ tion; but her common under-clothing was very much worn. She wore flannel drawers the first part of the term, and her mother carried them home before Miss Greene left, as Mr. Greene told me. I never saw in the wash such garments as Mrs. Greene de­ scribes in her statement, nor did Louise ever speak to me of losing them; and there were none such in the room when Miss Case and I were there. I had no prejudice nor ill-will towards Louise, and I never spoke unkindly to her ; and I would as willingly have tried to find missing articles for her as I did for the others, if she had told me she had lost any; and I think it is strange she did not tell me if she had lost as many articles as her folks say she had. I will note a few of the mis-statements in the pamphlet: On page 56, in the affidavit of Chestina S. Greene, she says: “Miss Case and Mrs. Daggett came up and went into Dr. Torsoy’s part of the house first, and then came into our room.” We did not go into Dr. Torsey's part of the house, nor did he have anything to do, directly or indirectly, with the investiga­ tion in regard to the clothing or money. On page 65, and following pages, is a certificate of Mr. Greene professing to give a conversation between Mrs. Greene and myself, in which he has made additions, omissions and changes. I gave him a true statement of the facts and circum­ stances in regard to finding articles of clothing in Louise’s pos­ session, not her own; and all his statements in that certificate or elsewhere, not agreeing with this and the statement made by my husband and myself, are untrue. �22 I will merely add that every place where he speaks of me or anything I had any personal knowledge of, is exaggerated or changed about the same as what I have noticed above. Statement of S. Jennie Fuller. I hereby certify, that the handkerchief, said by Mr. and Mrs. Daggett to have been found in the possession of Miss M. L. Greene the day before she left Kent’s Hill, was mine. It was nearly new, there were no holes in it, and my name ivas plainly marked upon it. How it came into Miss Greene’s pos­ session I cannot tell. The handkerchief was in use constantly for more than a year after Miss Greene left. Affidavit of Florence A. Church. I, Florence A. Church, do depose and say that I was a stu­ dent at Kents Hill during the spring term of 1866, and had some acquaintance with Miss M. Louise Greene, as we both roomed on the same floor in the College. On Thursday evening, May 17th, some time after the study­ bell rang, I was engaged in looking over my money, accounts, etc., and when I had finished, I put a five dollar bill into my portmonnaie, and all the rest of my money into a private desk. I closed the portmonnaie, put it into my table drawer and then closed the drawer itself. My sister was with me, and I think we did not leave the room that evening. After breakfast, next morning, a friend went up with me from the dining-hall to my room, and asked if I would loan her five dollars for a day. I replied that I would, and opened my drawer to get it for her; but on opening the portmonnaie, the bill, which I put in it the evening before, was missing. I was very much surprised, but said nothing about it that day to any one, except Miss Case, who told me that I ought to have re­ ported the matter at once to Mr. Daggett, the steward. The next morning I went to Miss Greene’s room and said, lt Louise, some one has taken five dollars from my portmon­ naie.” She was sewing, and when I said this, she colored very deeply, and did not look up. After a little hesitation, she an­ swered, “I guess you lost it yourself more likely.” When I saw her confusion, I felt sure that she knew where I had lost it and how; and I at once left the room. ’ �23 On the 22d of May I left for homo; and soon after Mr. Dag­ gett sent me the five dollars, writing that it was found in Miss Greene’s possession. As I put the money in my drawer late Thursday evening, and it was missing immediateljr after break­ fast the next morning, it must have been taken from my room while I was at breakfast, as we were not absent from our room before going to breakfast. I distinctly remember that Miss Greene did not come to breakfast that morning till I had fin­ ished eating; and I know that I locked my door that morning when I went to breakfast, and I also know that I found it lock­ ed when I returned, and my key was in the lock. Affidavit of Ulrs. Sarah F. Palmer. [Formerly Sarah F. Doe, a classmate.] ! ■ i I was a class-mate of Miss M. Louise Greene. I joined the College-class, during my first term at Kent’s Hill, in August, 1863. Dr. Torsey’s treatment of me was excellent. He was ever kind and sympathizing. He was like a father to me; and while there I always felt free to consult with him on any matters that were not quite clear to me. So far as I knew, he exercised a sim­ ilar treatment towards all his other students. His treatment of those students who were unmindful of the rules, was gentle and lenient until all such measures failed, and when obliged to re­ sort to severe discipline it appeared to cause him deep pain. I think his leniency towards Louise was certainly remarka­ ble. It is very unpleasant to speak thus of a classmate; but the bitter misrepresentations that have been so widely circula­ ted compel a statement that otherwise I would gladly omit. I think, however, that Louise was very careless respecting the rules, and do not think she would hesitate much about annoy­ ing the teachers, I boarded at the College building only one term, our last. While there I lost no article of clothing, and heard but very little complaint in this direction. I never understood that students were allowed to take clothes not belonging to them, under any circumstances. I never heard any complaint from Louise about losing clothes. On the morning that Louise left, I did not speak with her, but saw her at the breakfast table, when she appeared unusually �24 lively and cheerful. I knew, sometime during the forenoon, that she had left the Hill, but I did not then believe she would commit suicide. I do not remember of hearing any one, on that day, express the fear that Louise would commit suicide; and I never be­ lieved that she had done so till after the discovery of her re­ mains in October following. I heard no reference, whatever, to this affair before the school. Statement of Sarah E. TAnscott. I was a member of the school at Kents Hill, during the Spring term of 1866, and met Miss M. Louise Greene, nearly every day, in the drawing-room. On one occasion, shortly before she left, I heard her say, while in the drawing-room, “I have been telling Chestina that I want her to enter the College course at once, and not wait so long as I did before entering.” I heard much conversation, from Miss Greene, that term, but not one word against the teachers, or school. I i Affidavit of Elisabeth A. Allen. I, Elizabeth A. Allen, of Brunswick, Maine, on this 23d day of November, A. D. 1367, do depose and say, that I was a stu­ dent in the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Female College, most of the time from the summer of 1858 to the summer of 1862, when I completed the College course, and graduated. I boarded in the College Boarding House, so called, from the summer of 1860 till the summer of 1862—six terms. While boarding there, I lost no article of clothing, excepting two or three handkerchiefs, of little value. I heard but little com­ plaint from the students about articles being lost; and, so far as I could judge, all reasonable care was exercised by the Steward and Matron, in relation to all matters under their su­ pervision. Miss M. Louise Greene boarded in the College Boarding House most of the time while I was there. I was acquainted with her, and frequently conversed with her. I never heard her complain of losing clothes in the wash, nor of unkind treat­ ment from Mr. Torsey, or any of the teachers. She was fre­ quently spoken of by the young ladies of the Seminary, as �25 singular—inclined to say and do things that appeared strange and mysterious. But I knew nothing against her moral char­ acter. Statement of Louise F. Allen. I was a student in the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Female College from the summer of 1862 till I graduated in 1865. Dur­ ing the first two years, I boarded in the College Boarding House. While there, I lost no clothes in the wash, or in any other way. I heard but little complaint of such loss, by other students; and, so far as I can judge, all reasonable care was taken to return clothes to the owners by those who had charge of the laundry. I was well acquainted with Louise Greene, who boarded in the “College” most of the time when I was there. I do not remember hearing her complain of losing clothing, or of being unkindly treated by Dr. Torsey, or any other teacher. Statement of Hilary H. Fossett. [Classmate of Miss Greene.] I first joined my class, at Kents Hill, during the fall of 1863. I was present the whole course, excepting one term and a few weeks of another. Dr. Torsey treated me very kindly. His treatment of other students was kind, as far as I know. In his treatment of Lou­ ise, I think he was lenient. As to her character and deport­ ment as a student, respecting the rules, I think she was disposed to evade them, and had the ability to do so adroitly. I think her success, in this direction, was calculated to give annoyance to the Faculty. I cannot remember anything in particular she ever said of Dr. Torsey’s treatment of her, or of his character as a man; but she often referred to him in a not very complimentary man­ ner. I boarded in the College nearly six terms. I lost a few clothes—of no great value. It never entered my mind, that I was “allowed” to take things from the wash unless I was satis­ fied they were my own. I did not anticipate, when I first heard that Louise had left, that she would commit suicide. I did not hear any reference to this matter, before the school, by any of the Faculty. �26 c I had heard that she had a skeleton key, but did not know she made improper use of it. Affidavit of Sarah JE. Dow. [Classmate.] I entered upon my course of study in the Female College, at Kents Hill, in the fall term of 1864, and remained there two years, graduating in June, 1866. I was a classmate of Miss M. Louise Greene; but did not feel intimately acquainted with her till the beginning of our last year, when we roomed near together, two terms, in the house now owned by Dr. Torsey. Our whole class boarded at the College building, during our last term. My room was on the same floor with Miss Greene’s, and near hers. During my entire stay at Kents Hill, Dr. Torsey uniformly treated me well; indeed, I considered him my true friend. I have no doubt that Dr. Torsey’s treatment of his students was impartial. I am sure I never knew anything contrary to this in Miss Greene’s case; but I think he was very lenient with her. During our last year, in a conversation in my room, Miss Greene spoke of her interviews ■with Dr. Torsey with respect to her disobedience of rules. She represented Dr. Torsey as com­ ing to her in a tender, sympathizing manner, sometimes even with tears in his.eyes, and entreating her to yield a willing compliance with the rules; but she added, boastingly, "I would not be moved by any of his entreaties.” I never heard her say that Dr. Torsey spoke harshly to her at these interviews. On Tuesday afternoon, before Louise left, a classmate came to my room, weeping, and said in substance, You know, girls, that some one has been suspected of stealing; what would you think if I should tell you that it is one of our class ? We ex­ pressed great surprise, and asked which one it could be. She answered, "’Tis Louise.” I could not at the time .believe it possible, till I was at last compelled to by her (Louise’s) con­ fessions. • I did not know that she was alone on Tuesday night until the next day. I saw Louise a short time after breakfast on the morning she left; she then appeared as cheerful and social as usual. Sometime after this, Miss Bowers and I went to the �27 room in which Miss Reed was practising, but I do not recollect a single word of the conversation that took place at the time. I had no fears on that day that Louise would commit suicide: nor did I ever believe that she had, till after her remains were found. I never heard any reference to this matter, of Miss Greene, before the school by any member of the Faculty, dur­ ing that term or at any other time. While in the College building, I lost two or three small arti­ cles, but always supposed they were lost accidentally. When I did miss articles I went back to the ironing-room and inquired for them. If they were among the unmarked articles, I was permitted to take them, but was not allowed to take them un­ less I could identify them. This rule was observed by all, as far as I know. I never heard Louise complain of losing clothes, and I think it incredible that she could have lost so many clothes in eleven weeks as she is represented to have lost dur­ ing her last term. Affidavit of Eliza C. Bowers. I, Eliza C. Bowers, of Monmouth, classmate of M. Louise Greene, do depose and say, that on the morning of May 23d, 18G6,1 was in her room in the College at Kents Hill, and found her at her toilet; and saw nothing that led me to infer that she had not been in bed as usual the previous night. She told me she had slept alone; and had her bed been unoccupied during the night, I think I should have noticed it. And I further say, that I understood from her room-mate (Mary Chapman), that the reason she did not stay with Louise that night, was because she preferred to stay with Miss Hunton, and not that she was prevented from remaining with Louise by Miss Case, or any of the Faculty. I further say, that Dr. Torsey was impartial and kiud in his treatment of the students under his care. There was scarcely a student who did not think thus of him, and who did not love and respect him as a teacher and friend. I never knew him to make any distinction among the students under his care, or to show any partiality on account of any religious or sectarian views of any of the students. I have never intend­ ed, in anything I have written or said, to cast any blame upon the Faculty, in their treatment of my lamented classmate, if. Louise Greene, but sincerely believe they desired and intended �28 to exercise justice and kindness towards her, in this matter. Mr. Greene has given in his book, several extracts from my private letters to him and Mrs. Greene, and S. R. Newell, (not, however, giving my name,) in answer to letters addressed to me, proposing numerous questions about the affair connected with my unfortunate classmate; also, about the Faculty, espec­ ially Dr. Torsey, and Miss Case, the Preceptress. These ex­ tracts are published without my knowledge and consent, and in violation of the confidence which I placed in Mr. Greene. These extracts make me say what I did not intend to say, and what the letters do not say, were the whole letters published. The extract ou page 138, was in answer to a letter of Mr. Greene, dated Peru, June 22d, 1867, in which he says, “I have lately been informed that before Louise left, on that fatal 23d day of May, ’66, that Miss Case called all the class into her room, and told them all about L’s trouble. What time was this? And did she say or intimate whether she would be al­ lowed to stay and graduate, or would be expelled? What did she say about the whole matter? Did she seem to think it was an awful thing or crime?” To this, I replied, in substance: “ Immediately after breakfast, on the day Louise left, Miss Case called our class into her room, and told us the whole affair, and said one object she had iu calling us into her room, was to tell us her course in regard to the matter, from the beginning. She did not say but what she expected Louise to remain and grad­ uate. From what she said to us, I inferred that she did expect Louise to graduate; as she spoke of the course she, L., might pursue, and the whole matter would be overlooked and forgot­ ten, Miss Case spoke in the kindest terms of Louise, and seemed deeply afflicted at what had occurred.” This is the substance of what I wrote to Mr. Greene. I did not keep a copy of the letter, but the above is, as nearly as I can recollect, what I wrote. I am confirmed in this by a friend of mine, to whom I read my letter to Mr. Greene. I further say, that Miss Case called the class into her room, on that morning, in compliance with the earnest request of the class to know the facts in the case. Rumors were flying through the college building, among the lady students, and her class thought they had a right to know from the Preceptress, all the circumstances of the case. I �29 Affidavit of Emma C. Huntington. I, Emma G. Huntington, of Hallowell, upon oath state, that I attended the Seminary at Kent’s Hill during a part of the years 1864 and 1865: that I roomed on the second floor in the Sem­ inary building, in room No. 10 ; that the room of Miss Louise Greene was next to mine, and I was acquainted with her, but not on intimate terms, she not belonging to my class, but to the next class below. One day, I think in the spring term of 1865, my room-mate was absent, and being very much engaged, 1 locked myself into my room and took out the key and hung it up. My room-mate’s key was also hanging up in the room. Whilst I was studying, some one knocked on the door—then, after waiting a minute or two—knocked again. I made no answer or movement. Imme­ diately afterwards I heard a key put into the lock, and some one turning the key, apparently to open the door. I then rose and looked to see what was about to happen, and saw the door open, and Miss Louise Greene entered the room. She seemed as much astonished to see me as I was to see her. She said she found her key would fit one of the doors near by, and thought she would try it in mine. I made no other reply than an ex­ clamation of surprise, and she turned and left the room. Neither she nor'I ever afterwards alluded to the subject. Affidavit of Mira I. Heed.* I, Mira I. Reed, of Roxbury, do depose and say, that I have lately read a pamphlet entitled "The Crown Won but not Worn,” by Jonas Greene, of Peru: and that 1 find therein a statement which purports to be an affidavit, made and sworn to by myself; which affidavit contains certain statements, quite different, in expression and in fact, from what I thought and intended when I signed the affidavit. After the close of the fall term, 1866, and while at home, I receilfed a letter from Mr. Jonas Greene, asking certain ques•Mr. Greene says, on page 53 of his pamphlet:—“ I will here state, without fear of contradiction, that Miss Reed is a young lady whose standing in society, morally, intellectually, and religiously, entitles her to confidence and respect. She is a teacher of much practise, and. as a scholar and teacher, takes rank before the public where known, among the first order.” Whatever may be said of many of his statements, we cheerfully admit that the above is true and reliable. �30 tions about Louise and the manner of her leaving- the Hill. By­ advice of my friends at home, I did not answer his letter; be­ cause I did not wish him to have any writing, signed by me, I fearing that he might use it against the Institution at Kents Hill; but as my brother was soon going to carry me back to the Hill, we decided to call at Mr. Greene’s, on our way, and answer his questions in person. We did call in November at Mr. Greene’s, when he again re­ peated his questions. Noticing that Mr. Greene began to take my answers in writ­ ing, I hesitated about giving them in this form; when he said, ‘‘You need not fear; this shall not be used to injure you.” I answered, "I have nothing to say against Dr. Torsey, or the Institution, and do not wish to say anything that shall be used against them.” Mrs. Greene here replied, “It would not be best for you (I understood her to mean me as a student,) to say anything against them, for we already know enough against them back of this, without your testimony.” Mr. Greene also said, “ This is a matter of great interest to us, and we wish to know all about this, simply for our own sat­ isfaction.” After this explanation from them, I proceeded to answer their questions as well as I knew ; but they gave me no intimation that these answers would be printed or made public; nor did I ever intend or suppose that they would be, till after the publi­ cation of Greene’s pamphlet. As we were leaving Mr. Greene’s house, Mrs. Greene, appear­ ing to think that we (my brother and I) were favorable towards Dr. Torsey, remarked, “You needn’t try to shield him, for he is as guilty of murder as if he had taken a knife and cut her throat.” * I saw no more of Mr. Greene, till the last of the following January (18G7), when he called to see me at Kents Hill. lie said he wished to talk with me again about Loui^g, and asked if I would take a ride with him for that purpose. I did not wish to go, and privately asked my chum what I should do, but she could not tell me. Mr. G. appeared deeply’ affected, -wept much, and I knew not how to deny’ his request. We drove toward Readfield Corner, about half a mile, when �31 we came to a Mr. Skofield’s. lie stopped here and requested me to go in, though I was an entire stranger to this family. After we were in the house, he took a paper from his coat pocket, and said, “ I want you to give a sort of certificate to Louise’s character.” The certificate that he wished me to give was already written upon the paper, which he took from his pocket, and which he then read. He was in great haste and read the certificate very rapidly. I then took the paper and read a few lines of the beginning, but as the writing was not very legible, and as he was in great haste, I read only a few lines. I did not then realize the importance of what was read to me. Mr. Greene then proceeded with the remainder of his paper. I noticed that in different pages there were several vacant spaces. He said. "I left these spaces for the purpose of insert­ ing other things afterwards”; and added, “I will put this doc­ ument in better language.” Whether it is in better language or not, I will not say, but as it reads on the 53d and following pages of his book, it is not as I then understood it, and it greatly misrepresents my opinions. In my answers to Mr. Greene, which he claimed to have written, it was my purpose to tell the whole story as far as I knew it. I did not keep back anything favorable to Dr. Torsey, but all this is suppressed in my affidavit as given by Mr. Greene. When I first heard that Louise had left, I did fear that she would commit suicide, because I had heard that once before, on the death of a friend, she had made the attempt to commit sui­ cide. I think I expressed this fear to Miss Bowers, when first told that Louise had gone. On page 51, Mr. G. makes me say that Miss Bowers said to me, "Won’t you go and see Dr. T ? I think you will do best with him.” Miss Bowers did not ask me to go to Dr. T.’s, because I could*" do best with him,” but because I roomed in Dr. T.’s house, and could see him most conveniently, and I so repre­ sented the mat! er to Mr. Greene. On page 55, my affidavit as given by Mr. Greene, reads as follows : "Dr. T., in the first conversation in our room, told us that he had never suspected Louise of any dishonesty in that direction; said he had a long conversation with her that morn- ■J �32 ing. Louise said, “If she could not graduate, there was no future for her.” I asked her what she proposed to do. She said, “I want this kept from the school, and stay and gradu­ ate.” I said “the school knew it”; that she then broke down, crying and feeling terribly.” I did not represent Dr. Torsey as saying that Louise said to him, “I want this kept from the school, and stay and graduate,” for I do not recollect that I ever made, or heard, or read the remark till I saw it in Mr. Greene’s book. What Dr. Torsey* did say (as I recollect it,) was this: “I asked Louise what she proposed to do under these affecting circumstances.” She replied, “If the school know it, I cannot stay.” The expression, “stay and graduate,” was not used in my hearing, and I feel sure that I never repeated it as coming from him or any other person. In various places he makes me speak of a "long delay, a ter­ rible suspense,” another, “long delay, a horrible suspense,” “a terrible commotion on the Hill,” “a terrible excitement and feeling about the matter,” “all out of patience waiting for the team,” etc., etc. These expressions are not mine, and were not made by me, and must be the result, I suppose, of his at­ tempt to “put this document in better language.” There are also some other statements as given in this affida­ vit, which misrepresent me, for while I did make use of some of the expressions given, yet they were made in connection with other remarks, which he has suppressed, and which, if given, would put my whole statement in a very different light. Having made these corrections and explanations, I will re­ sume my present statement. When Mr. Greene had finished reading the paper above referred to, we left the house, and I supposed we had got through with the matter; but as we drove into the street, Mr. G. said, “I have business at Readfield Corner; you would not object to going down, I suppose?” Of course, I could not well object; and he drove on. As we neared the Corner, he said to me, “ Life is uncertain, and as you talk of going West, if you should not live, this paper will be of no service to me, unless you make oath to it.” I strongly objected to making an oath. He again assured me that nothing that I had said or assented to should be used against me, or the Institution, refer- �33 ring, as I supposed, to Dr. Torsey and the other members of the Faculty. I still objected, but he insisted so earnestly, that I at last yielded. I will here say, that I do not think Dr. Torsey was guilty of any intentional delay in sending word to Mr. Greene. I never knew that Dr. T. was unkind to Louise, in any way whatever. He certainly appeared very deeply affect­ ed, on the day Louise left. He manifested the deepest sorrow and sympathy, and Cveu shed tears while conversing with us about L. I mentioned these things in my conversation at Mr. Greene’s house, to which Mrs. Greene replied, contemptuously, “Oh, crocodile tears!” I frequently heard Louise speak favorably of Dr. Torsey, and only a few days before she left, she, in my presence, urged her sister Chestina, to enter the course of study then, and graduate. She also asked me to use my influence in persuading Chestina to this course. 1 was at Kents Hill nine terms, and Dr. Torsey’s treatment of me and other students, was never, to my knowledge, in any way unkind; on the contrary, he was ever kind and obliging; always ready to lend a helping hand; and I am very much grieved that any statements of mine have been so construed as to appear injurious to Dr. Torsey or the Institution, for I have never had any such intention. On page 113 I find the following: "Dr. Torsey tells Miss Reed, that he had no regrets when he went to Lewiston, and to the place where her remains were found.” Here again I am grossly misrepresented, for he did not say “he had no regrets.” He did say, “As I stood viewing the ground where she was found, I reviewed the whole matter in my mind, and asked myself: could I have done differently, not knowing her intentions ? and I did not feel that I could have done differently, under the circumstances. And I felt to thank God, that in my conversation with Louise, on the morning she left, I did not censure her, either in word or deed.” As frequent reference is made to the conversation of Dr. T. about Louise on the day she left, I will here add that, among other things, he said he told Louise that morning that this affair need not ruin her future; but that there was a future for her if she would lead a> virtuous life; that she said she would go to Lewiston and send for her father; that he told her if sho left 3 �34 she had better go to her parents; that she answered, “They will not receive me”; that he told her, her parents’ love would predominate over their passions; that she replied, “They will not receive me,” and gave the reason why they would not; that he again advised her to go to her parents, and also to con­ fess to her Saviour. He also repeated to us many other things which I cannot mention here. I have always thought that Dr. Torscy was the true friend of the students, and think he has, in this sad affair, been greatly misrepresented. The foregoing statements have been made of my own free will, and without solicitation, prompted simply by a sense of duty. Affidavit of Stillman A. Heed. I, Stillman A. Reed, of Roxbury, do depose and say that I was present at the conversation referred to in the foregoing affi­ davit of my sister, Mira I. Reed, in Mr. Greene’s house; and that the statements she has made of that conversation are true, according to my recollection of it, and that I believe them to be true. Affidavit of Abbie S. Fuller. [Classmate.] I first entered the school at Kents Hill, in November, 1862. I was in the same college class with Miss M. Louise Greene, having joined the Class in the spring of 1864. I cannot say too much in praise of Dr. Torsey’s treatment of me; for he did everything for me that he could do, to make my school relations happy and agreeable. I always felt that he was one that we could all go to when we wanted advice, and be sure to find a sympathizing friend. If his treatment of others differed from that toward me, I never knew or heard of it. I never knew much of the differences between Dr. Torsey and Miss Greene, but so far as I observed, she was treated as well as the rest of the class: I was not very intimate with Louise, and had no personal knowledge of her violations of school rule; but the members of the class often conversed about these violations, and regretted that Louise was not more careful of the rulcs.and of the feel­ ings of the teachers; and remarked further that she was treated �35 with great leniency by the Faculty; and that it would not be surprising if sometime she were expelled for her misconduct. While at the Hill, I boarded in the College, except one term and part of another. I may, on one or two occasions, have lost a handkerchief or some small article in the wash, but notl^ ing of any consequence. When I lost anything, I went to the Matron about it. We were never allowed to take clothes that we could not identify. I never heard Louise complain of losing things, nor can I see how it was possible for her to lose so many as she is represented to have lost during her last term. Sometime before noon on May 23d, I heard that Louise had left the Hill. I knew not where she was going, but supposed she was g-oing home. I had not the slightest fear that she would commit suicide: indeed, such a thought did not occur to me till the next day, when some one suggested it. Even then, I did not believe such a thing would happen; and did not be­ lieve it till after the announcement that her remains had been found. I never heard any reference to her leaving made by any mem­ ber of the Faculty, before the school. I will here explain the letter, an extract from which is found on page IS of Mr. Greene’s pamphlet. My home is in Augusta. Mr. Greeue was a member of the Senate last winter, and called on me several times, to talk with me about Louise. On t-wo of these occasions, Mr. G. asked me if I would not write to his wife, saying, “She is very anxious to have from you a full de­ scription of that garment of yours, found in the possession of Louise.” Thus urged, I complied with his request, and wrote a letter, apart of which is found on the page above indicated. It was a strictly private letter and never intended for publica­ tion. I had already declined Mr. Newell’s request to furnish him with a letter for publication. In addition to the explana­ tion asked for, I felt that I must add a few words of sympathy for the mother of Louise; but did not mean to say one word that could be wrested into a condemnation of Dr. Torsey or the . Faculty. In commenting upon this letter, he says: “This classmate does not think they did all that might have been done to save her,” etc. If by “they,” in this quotation, he means my class, he is correct; but if by “they,” he means the Faculty, he is ut- �36 terly wrong. In my letter I regretted that "a word in season” had not been uttered by our class; and when I wrote that, I did not have the Faculty in my mind, for I have always thought that the Faculty did everything they could have done to save leer. Again, he represents me as saying, “it appeared so large to us then.” It certainly did appear “large,”—not, however, as he insinuates, on account of any representation of the Fac­ ulty, but on its.pwn account; and if now “it looks so small,” it is not because her first error was in itself “ small,” but be­ cause it was so, in comparison with her last and greatest error, suicide. Statement' of Elisa J. Perley. [Cinssmate.] I, Eliza J. Perley, of Unity, Classmate of M. Louise Greene, whose sad death has called forth,'fvom both friends and stran­ gers, so great sympathy, do give iUas my opinion, that the charges brought against Dr. Torsey, regarding his treatment of Louise at the time of her leaving Kents Hillyare indeed ground­ less. Nor do I believe that any one in his position at the time, could have acted more judiciously than did he. \ Knowing, as I do, Louise’s great pride of character, I do not believe it would have been possible for him, by any persuasion, to have caused her to remain on Kents Hill, after knowing that her story was current among the students; nor do I believe'that the Faculty were in any way the means (as her father affirms) of rendering the matter public. Mr. Greene says, in his book, "Sarah Dow, one of L.’s class, tells me lately that Miss Case, the Preceptress, on the morning of May 23d, before Louise left, called all the class into her room in the College, and told them all about the affair.” Sarah Dow did not know, when she made that statement, that on Tuesday evening, May 22d, myself and one other of the class having heard tho sad report from one of the students, vis­ ited Miss Case’s room to know the truth. As we told our story, she expressed great surprise, and for some time refused to acknowledge that she knew anything of the affair. When we urged her still further, she says, “Do not urge me, girls, I can tell you nothing.” We told her we thought we had a right, in the name of the class, to demand an explanation. She then said, “Call your class to my room in the morning, and I �31 will try and tell you all.” Could Mr. Greene have seen the tearful eyes and trembling lips of our dear Preceptress that eve­ ning, he could not, I think, have made the cruel remark—“A more cool, unfeeling person, I never saw.” Again, Mr. Greene remarks in regard to Miss Case—"Know­ ing that Louise disliked her, for what I believed were good reasons, and believing she was prejudiced against Louise, I thought she might have assisted, under such feeling, in injur­ ing my child.” It may be consoling to Mr. Greene to know that, at the time Louise left Kents Hill, she was preparing a beautiful oil painting as a present to Miss Case, in which she was taking great pleasure, and of which her class frequently heard her speak. Does this look as if "Louise disliked her for good reasons”? As regards Dr. Torsey and his treatment of students, I can say, as for myself, (and I say it in deep gratitude to him,) that during my stay of seven terms at Kents Hill, his treatment of me was ever that of kindness. Nor had I the least reason to imagine that it was on account of any "favoritism” on his part; nor was I governed by "fear”; neither could it have been on account of "religious opinion,” for when I went to Kents Hill I had no religious opinion. As to his kind management of students generally, surely the hundreds of testimonials that could be collected from all parts of our country, ought to prove to the public that his is not a "reign of terror.” And regarding his treatment of Louise, one little event, that occurred during her last year at Kents Hill, should, I think, have some weight in the public mind. The class will remember the affair when I say that it was in the fall of 1865, when her class were invited to a supper at her room. (She was boarding herself.) While there, Dr. Torsey called, and brought her apples, grapes, and the first ripe pear from his garden. After he had gone, Louise said, "Girls, Dr. Torsey has been very kind to me this term”—and then spoke of sever­ al times when he had brought her little dainties for her table. One other matter I would mention. On the day that the remains of Louise were buried, I wrote to Mrs. Greene a letter expressive of my sympathy; but of course intended for no eye except her own. What, then, was my surprise to find it pub­ lished in full iu "The Crown Won but not Worn”! �38 One year ago I received a letter from S. R. Newell, of Peru, requesting me to send him a statement of the standing and character of Louise, so far as I knew, for the purpose of publi^ttion. I answered it,positively declining to have my testimony placed in print. Mr. Greene must have overlooked that remark in my letter; for he copied extracts from it, freely; and still he remarks, "I have not made a quotation from a single letter marked private or confidential.” As to my opinion of the character of Louise, I can truly say, I knew nothing against her. I never knew any violation of rules on her part. As to her veracity—I never questioned it. Of her possession of a skeleton key I had no knowledge. Of Louise as a classmate, I loved her truly,—and at her death I was a sincere mourner. Extracts from Affidavit of It. Ella Pike. I have been a student at Kents Hill, most of the time, for the last five years. During all this time, Dr. Torsey has been uni­ formly kind to me, in every respect; and also, as far as I could judge, to every other student. I never knew nor believed that he made any difference with students on account of their relig­ ious opinions, and do not believe he would be'influenced by any such motives. I was well acquainted with M. Louise Greene, during her last three terms, and roomed near her, one term, in Dr. Torsey’s house. For a long time before Louise left, it was a matter of common talk, among us girls, that she would evade the rules whenever she could without detection. Her general character was that of a sly, cunning person, in the evasion of the rules of tho school. During her last term, Miss Greene boarded at the Col­ lege, and Miss Mira I. Reed took her place in the room with Chestina. On tho morning Louise left, she came to Chestina’s room, where I was studying alone. On coming in, Louise asked for Chestina, aud, on being told that she had gone to the College, said, "I’m sorry, fori am going to Lewiston to make purchases for the Exhibition, and I wish to see her.” She then went to the mirror and arranged her hair, cuffs, etc.,saying, "I did not complete my toilet before starting, because, if I did, I feared the stage would go before I could see Chestina.” She also ad- �39 ded, "I will leave a note for Ches.”; which she did, writing it in my presence. Soon after, she left, saying as she went out, "Good-bye,” to which I laughingly replied, “Farewell,” supposing of course she would return that night. * She was as cheerful and social as usual; and there was noth­ ing in her appearance to excite suspicions that she meditated suicide; nor did I ever believe she had committed suicide, till after.her remains were found in Auburn. I do not remember to have heard, during that forenoon, any one, except her sister Chestina, express any fear that Louise would commit suicide. In the early part of the afternoon of that day, Dr. Torsey came up to Chestina's room, where were Chestina, Miss Reed, and myself. He told us of his interview with Louise, that morning; that he had said to her that this trouble need not de­ stroy her future, but that there might be a glorious future be­ fore her, if she would lead an upright and virtuous life; that he asked what she proposed to do; that she said she would go to her friends in Lewiston; that he then told her that if she left she had better go home to her parents, acknowledge her faults to them, and also confess to her Saviour and ask His forgive­ ness; that she then said she could not go home, because her parents would not receive her; and that she had no hope with z her Saviour, for he had cast her oif long ago; that he then told her that her father had lately experienced religion, his heart was tender, and be would receive her; and that he tried to en­ courage her faith in the Saviour, that he had not cast her off. One of us then asked Dr. Torsey if he thought Louise would commit suicide. He replied, “I have no fears of her commit­ ting violence upon herself. She may conceal herself awhile from her friends. She would be more likely to go in her ordi­ nary clothes, as in this way she would excite less attention.” Dr. Torsey then asked Chestina what she thought should be done; but I do not remember her reply, except that she referred to the proposition of Mr. Harriman, which was, I think, that he would carry her home to her parents, if she desired to go. This is the substance of what I heard at that interview, though I may not have given all the remarks in the exact order in which they occurred. During the interview, Dr. Torsey appeared deeply affected, and manifested great sympathy for Louise. I ! ! ___ �* 40 I have never boarded at the College, and, of course, have lost no clothes there; I have been very intimate with many ladies boarding there; but never heard any one of them com­ plain of losing clothes, as I now remember, and I have heard several of them say they never lost anything there. During that term, I heard no reference whatever, by any member of the Faculty, to this matter of Miss Greene’s, before the students, except that in the next class-meeting, held after she left, one of them asked the students to remember the wan­ dering one in their prayers. Affidavit of W. S. Pattee. I was a student at Kents Hill during the spring term, 1866, and had some acquaintance with Miss M. Louise Greene. On the 23d of May, in that term, I went to the depot in the stage, with several other passengers, among them Miss Greene. She was lively, cheerful and full of conversation. I asked her how far she was going, and she said, "To Lewis­ ton”;—she also spoke of Miss Case, the Preceptress, who was to leave at the end of that term; and said, “She has been a very kind and faithful teacher." Another student present said, laughingly, “ I guess you don’t mean quite that, Miss Greene,’’’ or words to that effect. She replied, "I do mean it; and I think, it will be a difficult matter to get another teacher who will fill her place." I asked her also, if she had finished her ^exhibition piece. She said, "I have not; I .have not touched it yet”; and I think she added, “I have not even chosen my subject yet.” She said further—“I have been at Kents Ilil* now fifteen terms, and I think it will seem very strange when the term begins next fall, not to come back again.” While conversing -with her at the depot, as I was not going in the train, I asked her when she was coming back. She gave me. an evasive answer, but I gathered from it, that she intended to return the next day. I did not return to the Hill till evening of the next day, when I learned, for the first time, that Miss Greene had been in trouble, and had not returned. I noticed that she was dressed rather shabbily, but there was nothing in her appearance that indicated mental derangement, and I never believed, for an instant, that she had committed suicide, until after her remains were found in Auburn. �4 41 Statement of Nancie E. Manton. I was a student at Kents Hill, eleven terms, and graduated from the Seminary there in June, 1867. Nearly all of that time I was quite intimately acquainted with Miss M. Louise Greene, till she left; and was with her a great deal during her last year there. During her last year I frequently heard her speak in praise of Dr. Torsey; and among other things she said, “I like Dr. Torsey; I like him much better than I ever did before.” I did not hear her say anything against him in this time, and do not think there was any prejudice in her mind, against him; and I did not hear her say anything that indicated unkind feel­ ing or prejudice, on her part, against any of the teachers. June 28, 1866, Mr. Greene wrote to my father, asking for a description of the undersleeves of mine, found in the possess­ ion of Louise. I replied on the sixth of February following, but Mr. Greene gives in his book only a part of my letter. I gave him a minute description of the undersleeves: not only of the manner in which they were made, the "peculiar stitches,” &c., but also of the material of which they were made, having a part of it then at home. Of the different marks by which I was able to identify them, Mr. Greene gives only one, the "peculiar stitches”—and to this he frequently alludes in a very sneering manner. I boarded in the College building the whole time I was at school, and never lost an article of clothing in the wash, except the undersleeves, referred to above. I never heard Louise complain of losing anything, though I was in her room a great deal. Neither my parents nor myself were Methodists; but I never knew any difference in treatment on account of religious views, towards myself or any other student ; and I am sure that there was no difference on this account. I never saw anything whatever, in Louise, that indicated mental derangement or insanity. Statement of Mrs. II. E. Merrill. During the fall term of the school at Kents Hill, 1865, I washed for Miss M. Louise Greene and her two sisters, Chest iUa and Estelle. A week’s washing for the three, usually cou- �♦ 42 sisted of one pair of sheets, one pair of pillow-cases, three pairs stockings, three pairs drawers, three towels, three chem­ ises and six handkerchiefs. Occasionally a night-dress was washed, but not more than three different ones were brought to be washed during the term, and these were whole and good. The sheets and pillow-cases were also in good condition. The chemises, drawers, stockings, handkerchiefs and towels, taken together, were decidedly poor. Affidavit of Alvin Packard. I, Alvin Packard, of Cambridgeport, Mass., do depose and say that in the spring of 1866, and for several years preceding, I was a resident at Kents Hill, and owned and lived in a house there, adjoining the one which Dr. H. P. Torsey occupied. Early in the spring of 1866, I determined to sell there and re­ move from the State. Mr. Jonas Greene, of Peru, learning this, came to my place to purchase it. We talked the matter all over, and I told him my terms, and he wished to consider the matter a few hours. Previous to this interview, Dr. Torsey had talked with me several times about buying my place; and before Mr. Greene returned, Dr. Torsey came in again and agreed to my terms, and as I had offered him the place before this, I felt under some obligation to close the trade with him, and did so. When Mr. Greene returned, he seemed quite disappointed that I had already sold it; and thought he (Greene) could have given me a better bargain, as he would have taken my carpets, etc. He wanted the place, as I understood the matter, for the purpose of being near a good school, so as to have good oppor­ tunities for educating his daughters. During the last two terms of school at Kents Hill, before I left, Miss M. Louise Greene roomed in my house, and I frequently heard her say, in sub­ stance, "I hope father will buy your place. It will be a good place for the girls to attend school; and when we have finished our education, we can move out West or South.” Louise frequently spoke of Dr. Torsey, in my family; but always in the most respectful terms, and she never gave any intimation of prejudice or ill-feeling on her part, against any of the Faculty, or that there was any such feeling on the part of the Faculty toward her. I never saw anything in her conduct or appearance that indicated insanity. �43 Affidavit of jilary JE. Chapman. [Room-mate.] I first came to school at Kents Hill, in the spring of 1859. I attended school here most of the time till the fall of 18G4. In August, 1864, I went to Westbrook Seminary and attended school there that fall term and the following winter term. In the spring of 1865; I returned to Kents Hill, and have siuce pursued the course in the Female College. On Friday, a few days before I left for Westbrook, I came up from Readfield Corner, where I then lived, with a carriage, for the purpose of taking Al. Louise Greene to my home, that she might spend Saturday and Sunday with me there. Having made known'my errand to Louise, she immediately went to Dr. Torsey for permission, but soon returned, saying, “He will not grant me permission to go.” She again left me, and I have since learned that she went to Miss Robinson, one of the lady teachers, and begged her to intercede with Dr. T. in her (Lou­ ise’s) behalf.. I did not go with her to Miss Robinson’s room,—did not see Miss R. at all. Louise did not tell me that she had been to see Aliss R. She soon returned and asked me if I would go with her to Dr. Torsey, while she once more requested permission of him. I did go with her to Dr. T.’s house (I did not see him on the street at all), when she again made known her request to him. Louise did not have any permit from her father with her. Dr. Torsey said, “I do not see how I can give you permis­ sion, Louise; for, if I do, others will want the same privilege of going from the Hill without permission from home.” She replied, “If your decision is final, I submit; but I must say I think it unjust.” He said that she had no right to judge his actions. After further ’conversation between them, Dr. Torsey said, "You need not expect any further favors in that direction; as you have already beeu down to the Corner several times, without our permission.” Miss Greene replied, “I have asked but few favors, and still less have I received.” Dr. Tor­ sey then said, “Aliss Greene, you may leave the house.” AA’e then said good-night to Airs. Torsey, and went back to the Col­ lege; though I did not go in again, but at once returned to Readfield Corner. �44 I will here say, that Louise had already, before this refusal, been home with me to the Corner three times,- without per­ mission from the Faculty. Once, when she thought I had asked permission for her; and another time, when I suppose she had asked for herself, though it seems she had not; and a third time, when she asked Prof. Robinson, after starting, but did not get permission. Since I have been at the Hill, I have boarded at the College building, every term except two. I have lost several articles of clothing, but no more in proportion to the number of terms, than I lost at Westbrook ; nor any more than would naturally be lost in any boarding-school. When I did lose articles of clothing, I made known the fact, at the proper place. The Matron, or some one appointed by her, was present when we selected our clothes; and this person allowed us to look over the unmarked articles, which were spread upon a long table. If I was able to identify my clothes, I took them; but was never allowed to take articles, unless I could identify them. Miss Greene and I roomed together during the last term she attended here, and I never knew that she lost any clothes; nor did I, during that term, hear her say that she had lost any. I have never received any but the kindest treatment from Dr. Torsej’; and never knew or supposed that his treatment of other students differed from that toward me. During the last year that Miss Greene was here, I frequently heard her say, "Dr. Torsey is very kind to me.”—"I like him much better than I used to, and I think he likes me better.”—“I could ask no better treatment from any person.” She also added, "I think he means to do right,”—or words to that effect. These remarks were made, not only before me, but also in the pres­ ence of others. I never knew, nor believed, that Dr. Torsey made any differ­ ence in his treatment of students on account of their religious opinions. The evening before Miss Greene left, the rumor was current, among the Indies, that she was suspected of taking the clothes that had been lost. How the rumor got out, I never knew. Upon asking the Preceptress in regard to it, she refused to converse with me on the subject. I never heard any teachers refer to the matter before Louise left, nor during that term, �45 after she left; except this. At the next class-meeting, held after she left,—one of the Professors referred to the one who had so suddenly and strangely left, and asked the students earn­ estly, to remember her in their prayers. On the morning Miss Greene left, I saw Dr. Torsey, as he came from the room, where he had been conversing with her. lie seemed deeply affected, and had been weeping. I did not see Miss Greene again, except as she passed the door of the room in which I was reciting, on her way up street. I have been told that she took the stage at Dr. Torsey’s house. Some­ time after I returned to my room from recitation, I first learned that Louise had left the Hill, and had left some of the clothes that she had worn in the morning. I then feared that she might commit suicide. This fear was caused by the fact that Louise had told me that once before she had attempted to com­ mit suicide, but failed in the attempt because she took so much that it acted as an emetic. She said she did this at the time of the death of a very dear friend. She also added, “If any great calamity ever happens to me, I think I shall commit suicide.” She told me these things confidentially, while conversing, one evening, about the above-mentioned friend who had died; and I never mentioned them to any person until after she so strange­ ly left the Hill. I do not think I heard any other student express any fear, that forenoon, that Louise would destroy herself. Most of them appeared to think that she would go out West, or to some place where she would be a stranger, and try to retrieve the past. I did not stay with Louise the night before she left; but I had no permission from any teacher to be absent from my room. On the contrary, I twice asked-Miss Case for permission to stay with Miss Hunton that night; but she positively refused to grant my request, and told me that I must stay in my room. Neither Miss Case nor any other teacher knew that I was absent from my room that night. I roomed with Louise four or five terms, and never saw any indications of insanity. Affidavit of B. IP. Harriman. The stage and express running between Kents Hill and Read­ field, is owned by me. �r it 4G I was for a long time acquainted with M. Louise Greene, and on themorningof May 23d ,1866, she rode with me to Readfield Depot, in company with several other passengers. I had heard a rumor that some student was in trouble; but did not know who it was, till after we started for the Depot. She appeared very lively and cheerful on the way down. I asked her how far she was going. She said she was going to Lewiston to buy some white kids and other things for Exhibi­ tion, and should come back that night. After the train had left, I asked the ticket agent for what place she had bought a ticket; to which he replied, “Lewiston.” I had no conversation with her at the Depot. I saw nothing whatever that indicated insanity. I got back to Kents Hill that day, sometime after twelve, noon. I soon met Dr. Torsey, who asked me if I would take a team and go in pursuit of Louise. (There was no other train for Lewiston that day.) I told him that I had no team to spare; but that if they would furnish the team, and I could get some one to take charge of mine that afternoon, I would go. Dr. Torsey appeared anxious to do promptly all that could be done for the unfortunate lady and her friends. I went to a neighbor and obtained the promise of a team; but when this was done it was past one o’clock; and it would not have been possible to get started before half past one to two o’clock. The traveling, at that time, was very bad, and I could not have driven to Lewiston in less than four hours and a half at the best; probably not in less than five hours. I met Dr. Torsey again and spoke to him of the bad going, and also of the uncertainty that she had stopped at Lewiston; and advised not to go in pursuit of her till after the train should return that afternoon, and we could learn, certainly, from the conductor, that she had stopped at Lewiston. After some conversation, this course was agreed upon; and, on the return of the train, I learned from the conductor that she had stopped at Lewiston, and so reported to Dr. Torsey. I am sure there was no unnecessary delay in the matter; and I believe that if we had sent a team directly to Lewiston, wo could not have arrived there before it would have been too late to find her or to save her. �47 Another reason why I advised to wait till the return of the train was, that she had told me and others, that she should re­ turn that night; and I saw nothing in her conduct to lead me to think that she would do otherwise. I had no fears at the time that she would commit suicide; nor ever afterwards that she had, till her remains were found. Mr. Greene reports a conversation with me, in which he says of me,— "His fears were excited for her safety,” etc. (Page 139.) This is a mere assumption of Mr. Greene, and without any foundation, in fact. On page 90 he says: “If Mr. Harri­ man had been advised, or perhaps I ought to say, permitted, to follow her at the time he said he‘would, I think she would have been saved”; and on page 139 he says, “and I have no doubt but what it” (the pursuit) “would have been, had Dr. Torsey been out of the way, where he could not have been consulted.” The falsity of these extracts will be apparent in the light of what I have said before: that I advised not to go in pursuit till the train should return. Affidavit of Perry Chandler. I entered the school at Kents Hill in the fall of 1863, and have attended here, since that time, seven terms. Was here during the spring term of 18G6. I had quite an acquaintance with M. Louise Greene, as I recited in the same class with her a part of the time. I first heard that she had left the Hill, about three o’clock, P. M., of the day she left; at which time I was requested to go with Chestina Greene (Louise’s sistter) to her father’s, in Peru. We started about six o’clock, P. M., and arrived at Mr. Greene’s house about midnight. When we arrived, none of the family were up except Mrs. Greene. Chestina went into the house, while I staid to take care of the horse. Mrs. Greene kindled a fire, and it was nearly or quite an hour before I re­ tired ; but during that time, no reference whatever was made, in my presence, to Louise, or to the affair that brought us there. I suppose Chestina told her mother the cause of our coining, before I went into the House. Mrs. Greene and Chestina went with the lantern to show me the stable, while I took care of the horse, Mrs. Greene remarking that she would rather do so than disturb Mr. Greene, if I could take care of the horse. I ■■ �1 48 ■ - '•< i I did not see Mr. Greene that night; and do not think he was informed of the affair before 1 retired. Of course I do not know how Mrs. Greene felt that night; but she manifested no outward feelings of anxiety, or even of surprise. I remember this*the more distinctly, as I had expected they would manifest deep feeling, and I had been thinking, on my way there, what I could say to them to comfort them. At my request, Mrs. Greene called me about four o’clock, next morning; as I wished to make an early start for Kents Hill, so as to be back to my recitation. I inquired in the morning for Mr. Greene, and was informed by Mrs. Greene that he and Chestina had started for Lewiston at three o’clock. While eating my breakfast, Mrs. Greene referred to the affair of Louise, for the first time, in my pres­ ence, and said, in substance, “I am sorry Louise has done as she has; but hope the matter can be so arranged that she can go back and graduate at the end of the term.” I was surprised to hear he'r speak of the affair so calmly, and remarked to her, that I was glad she took it so cool. There was no intimation of insanity on the part of Louise, and there were no fears expressed that she (Louise) would commit suicide. On page 33 of Mr. Greene’s pamphlet, he professes to quote what Chestina and I said to him, and that among other things, I said, ‘‘It was the general belief on the Hill-that she was de­ ranged,” and that 1 "expressed fears for her safety.” In reply to this, I will say that I did not see Mr. Greene at all; and fur­ ther, I have not the slightest recollection of saying that it was "the general belief on the Ilill that she was deranged.” And I know that I never told him so. Statement of Rev. Stephen Allen. [Slade 11th Dee., 1867.] I have been well acquainted with Rev. H. P. Torsey, Presi­ dent of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Female College, for the last twenty-five years, having resided on Kents Hill about six years of that time, and having had frequent occasion to visit the school and examine into its affairs. For skill in school discipline, I know of no superior to Mr. Torsey. By familiarity with the students, kindness and tact, he has secured, to an unusual extent, the confidence and esteem of his ■ I * �49 pupils; which has been shown by many substantial tokens of their regard. His success in school management has resulted largely from u ready insight, by which he has been enabled to anticipate and prevent mischief in its incipiency. Though he has had pndcr his care, probably more students than any other teacher in the State, comparatively few cases of expulsion or any other ex­ treme punishment have occurred. In case of serious misconduct, so far as I have been able to observe, he is inclined to the most lenient treatment, compati­ ble with the discipline of the school. During the twenty-four years he has been at the head of the Seminary, the school has prospered beyond all its previous his­ tory. I have heard but few complaints of his discipline; and those were mostly from students who had been guilty of misconduct. Statement of jJIrs. Patterson-. [Former Stewardess at Boarding House.] While we had charge of the Boarding House, the clothes, after being washed, were laid on a table, sorted, so that those occupying the same room were laid together.* Those that were unmarked were placed together at the end of the table, and all could have access to them, if anything was missed from theirs. Sometimes there was some complaint on account of missing articles. Sonic that were with us three years did not lose an. article. I do not recollect of hearing complaint from Miss M. Louise Greene, about losing many clothes, and feel quite sure that Mrs. Greene’s statement of her daughter’s losses, is not correct; as her wardrobe, sonic of the first terms she was at school, was not abundant. i it f 1 [The following letters are mostly from persons not connected with the Meth­ odist church, and most of them voluntarily furnished.] Letter from G. T. Fletcher. [Prut. State Normal School.] Castine, Me., Nov. 14, 1867. Rev. Dr. Tobsey—Dear Sir: I learn with regret that Mr. •The arrangement of “boxes” of which Mr. Daggett speaks, was not then adopted. Mrs. Patterson’s statement should follow Mr. and Mrs. Daggett's. 4 i ■/ ■ �50 Greene has published a book in which he reflects upon your severity towards his daughter, and accuses you of being guilty of cruelty and partiality to many students. I know very little in regard to the accusations preferred by Mr. Greene in relation so his daughter; but from what I know of your character as a gentleman and a teacher, I feel the ut- . most confidence in the ground of my belief that no just reproach can rest upon you in the matter. I have no fear- that your rep­ utation will suffer before the tribunal of thinking men. During the three terms it was my privilege to be under your instruction, your relation to the students seemed to be, to an uncommon degree, that of a kind and faithful parent, a true, teacher, and a Christian man. It has been my privilege to receive instruction from some of the best teachers in Maine and in Massachusetts; and to enjoy the acquaintance of many others who stand high upon the pub­ lic record; but in no instance have I met one who has seemed to me to combine, in himself, more of the requisite qualities of a true teacher, than yourself. That you are ever "cruel” or "partial,” is entirety at variance' with the testimony of my experience, and that of all the stu­ dents of the Seminary, with whom I have conversed. Permit me to render this expression of my regard for one whom I so highly esteem as a teacher and friend. j Statement of Miss Nellie M. Cox. [Teacher in Jamaica, N. Y.] I have known Dr. Torsey for over eight years. For four years I was a student under his instructions, and I consider him thefresi teacher I ever knew, and a most perfect disciplinarian, lie evinces such a kind interest for the welfare of his pupils, and is so mild and gentle in his administration, that he always obtains their love. Statement of Aurilla Springer. During the three years that I have been under the instruction of Dr. Torsey, never, to my knowledge, has he used undue severity. He is kind, firm and conscientious as a disciplinari­ an; confided in and loved as a teacher;—and justly so, for he is ever mindful of the best interests of the students. I I �51 Statement of Hon. JI. T. Ludden. Whilst a pupil at the Maine Wesleyan Seminary, I never dis­ covered the slightest tendency to arbitrary or harsh rule on the part of Dr. Torsey. Nor did I ever discover any favoritism or harshness on the part of Mr. Torsey towards any studeht. I have always found him a kind, noble-hearted gentleman. Jlrs. C. JI. JUUs, Langor. In a letter from Mrs. Mills, dated Dec. 21, 1867, she says:— I was a student and a member of your family more than a year; and your uniform kindness to me and interest for me, merited and ever has had my earnest gratitude; and this feeling toward you seemed almost universal. As to religious matters, I could not have been treated by my own peculiar sect (New Jerusalem) with more thoughtfulness and consideration, and have said it many times. I was left in perfect freedom, and know others felt so too. JIr. A”. O Fletcher, Augusta. Mr. F. is a teacher in the Dirigo Business College, and is a Baptist. He says:— Students iu sickness and in trouble knew Dr. Torsey was their friend, and were treated as sons and daughters. No dif­ ference could be detected between my treatment and privileges and those who belonged to the Methodist church. Letter of Jfr. John Ayer. West Waterville, Nov. 23, 1867. Mr. Torsey—Dear Sir: I am glad of tins opportunity to bear witness to your faithful instruction and proverbial impartiality, during the three years I attended school at Kents Hill. Then, as now, I was in no way connected with your church; and it has never occurred to me that I was not used as well, in every respect, as those who were. Statement of Jliss F. Augusta Dreft. [Teacher of Music.] I have been connected with the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Female College about two years, as student and teacher; �52 and as far as I have known, Dr. Torsey, in his intercourse with students and in the discipline of the school, has ever shown much kindness. I am a member of the Congregational church, and I most cheerfully assert that in no instance have I ever known Dr. Torsey to exhibit any difference in his treatment of teacficrs or students on account of their religious principles. I? Statement of lieu. Tt. H. Howard. [Pastor of Cong. Church. Farmington.] : I I i ■ ■ i Hi I have none but the pleasantest recollections of my school life at Kents Hill in 184-8—9. I was young,—a mere boy,—my religious opinions and character quite unfounded—and naturally averse to religious duties. The influence of the school and teachers, particularly Rev. Mr. Torsey’s, was such as to commend itself to my conscience in the sight of God. That influence was always gentle and kindly—never arbitrary or sectarian. It was religious in the best sense, holding forth Christ and pressing motives to a Christian life. The discipline of the school was thorough and impartial, and, concerning myself, from a family of another re­ ligious persuasion, I never had the slightest reason to complain of distinctly Methodist influence, but always have been grateful for the decided and positive Christian atmosphere that then and there surrounded the student. Statement of Gen. C. H. Harvard. It gives me pleasure to say I have never known a teacher of youth more universally respected and beloved by his pupils than Dr. Torsey. He possessed the rare faculty of combining strict and wholesome discipline with harmless indulgence. I am surprised that any person should attempt to maintain a charge of any sectarian bias in his administration of the affairs of the school. Being myself a Congregationalist, I can testify unreservedly upon this point; and I remember no individual, in public position, who has left upon my mind au impression of a deeper and broader charity than he. Statement of M. Ellen JBrooklngs. Among the many kind teachers, whose instruction I have enI L. �53 joyed, none were ever kinder than those whom I was permitted to call such on Kents Hill. Far above all others I consider Dr. Torsey. In instruction, he not only could listen to a pu­ pil’s explanation, but with few words he often made an other­ wise perplexing lesson interesting. In discipline, he always made me wonder how he could be so just and kind, with so much to perplex him. During all the months of my stay there, I never knew anything but kindness atifhe hands of Dr. Torsey. I wish all who may misjudge him by reading Mr. Greene’s pamphlet, could know him as I have known him—one of the kindest and best of teachers. i I Statement of Iter. Janies J3. Crawford. [Principal of East Maine Conference Seminary.] I was a student at Kents Hill for five years; a part of the time a member of Dr. Torsey’s family; and I do most cheerfully testify to his uniform kindness to all his pupils. I have known personally, I think, more than a thousand stu­ dents from Kents Hill; and I never heard the charge of cruelty or tyranny made against Dr. Torsey by one of them. I never knew of any difference in the bearing of the Faculty towards boarders and self-boarders. A distinction inight have existed among the students, but I think it was never countenanced by the teachers. r Statement of A. Fltzroy Chase. Middletown, Ct., Jan. 3, 1868. My connection with the Maine Wesleyan Seminary as a stu­ dent began in the Spring of 1862, and closed in the Winter of 1865. In view of the slanders that have been published by Mr. Jonas Greene, of Peru, Me., reflecting upon the management of that Institution by Rev. H. P. Torsey, and upon his person­ al character, I desire to express my confidence in him as the best disciplinarian I have ever known—a confidence established by a knowledge of the judicious, impartial and paternal treat­ ment, which, in my judgment, he has ever exercised toward the pupils placed under his control. 1 1 �54 Statement of Charles HI. Parker. Middletown, Ct., Dec. 17, 1867. Statements having recently been made public, in a pamphlet entitled “The Croion Won but not Worn,” which reflect upon the personal character of Rev. H. P. Torsey, and also attack the system of discipline practised at the Institution of which he is President, justice demands that their falsity be exposed. During eight terms extending from March, 1861, to June, 1865, which I passed at the Hill, as a student, I had opportun­ ities to learn something of the general system of discipline, and also to observe Dr. Torsey’s conduct and bearing toward students. So far was he from being harsh or unfeeling, that no parent could have granted a request with more evident pleasure, or refused it with more considerate kindness than Dr. Torsey habitually used. The candor and frankness he displayed in his dealings with students always commanded their respect, even if he caused them disappointment. From personal recollection and observation of Dr. Torsey as an instructor, disciplinarian and friend, I have the fullest confi­ dence that he would in no degree intentionally wrong a student, but that the highest welfare of all is made his constant care. Statement of Prof. J. Perley. I have been a teacher at the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Female College for twenty-one years. Am a member of the Baptist church. Have never known Dr. Torsey in public or private to exert any sectarian influence over his scholars. I think the teachers and scholars of other societies have always been received with unbounded charity, and never made to feel that there were any denominational lines drawn. I have been intiihately acquainted with Dr. Torsey in all his relations to the school. As teacher, guardian and friend, I know he has exercised a great amount of leniency and forbear­ ance, both in Faculty meetings and the discipline of the schol­ ars ; and though his treatment of the erring has been firm, it has been kind and considerate. I was not present at the time of the sad aflair connected with Miss M. Louise Greene; but if the charge of “cruelty” to her, in the terrible hour of trial, is just, it must have been at vari­ ance with his former treatment of her and other students. �55 Statement of Hon. Joseph T. Woodward. I was for several terms a student at the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Female College. Neither myself nor family were Methodists. During this period I recited in the same classes with a large number of students of various religious denomina­ tions, and a considerable number connected with none; and participated in the public exercises of the school with many students who were active Methodists, many of them already clergymen of that church. Nearly all the time I was in Rev. Dr. Torsey’s classes, and intimately acquainted with him. Had favoritism existed in any degree, I believe I must have felt and detected it. Yet I have never known, either in cases of disci­ pline at recitation or in the more public exercises of the school, a single instance of partiality. Every avenue of progress was equally open to us all; and the ability of each promptly and cheerfully recognized by the Faculty. In Dr. Torsey we ever found a kind and true friend, as well as an efficient teacher; strict in the observance of necessary rules, .but courteous and kind. In public and in private he frequently urged upon the students the paramount importance of Christian character, and a true, moral and religious life; yet I have never known him to impress the necessity of adopting a special system of belief upon any. In all cases of discipline his sympathy was confidently trust­ ed; and if in error, students received at his hands not a harsh and vindictive punishment, but the kind treatment of a gener­ ous friend and judicious instructor. Statement of S. It. Bearce, Esq., Lewiston. Mr. Greene, in his book, makes allusion to me in several places, in a disrespectful manner. I have only to say in all these allusions he makes use of such language as to convey a wrong idea, and misrepresents me in the whole affair. i �66 LETTER OF MISS GREENE. [To her sister Chestina, published in Mr. Greene’s book, page 3O.J “In the cars, Wednesday, A. II. “My much loved bet deeply -wronged Sister,—In leaving you, as I have, I am sensible that there is in store for you mor­ tification and a share of my disgrace. “Dr. Torsey informed me this morning that I had better leave to-day; ‘not expulsion,’ he said, ‘we won’t call it that, but I advise you to go home.’ Practically, it amounts to the same thing, however. How I feel, God only knows; you never can; and wy bitterest agony is for the dear ones at home, on whom must fall some share in this disgrace. Satan, or some evil spirit, must have led me into this. If I know myself, it was not the true, real Louise Greene, that did this. She was trying to live an honest, womanly life; or, if she was, indeed, drifting into disgrace, she never realized it. I can feel myself guilty of but one crime,—the taking of five dollars from Miss Church. No other was alleged against me, but the having of those un­ marked articles of clothing; and, as I live, I had no intention of stealing them. For every article I took, I had lost one in the wash, and put these on in their stead, expecting, before the term was done, to find my own. There was, in some sort, a necessity for this; for instance:—I came to the college with three or four good, whole drawers,—two pairs of which were new ones,—and to-day, as I ride away, I have none. They were lost in the wash because unmarked. Was it so strange that I should put on others, also unmarked, in their stead ? I tell you this, that you may know what I have done and why" I did it. That five dollars is a mystery to me. I went on an errand into Miss Church’s room; in her stand drawer laid a partly open portmonnaie. What possessed me to take the �57 money I do not know; but I took it out. The moment they asked me about it, I confessed it. You know the skeleton key I have long had. That told against mo; but, after all, I do not think they believed I opened rooms with it, for the purpose of taking out things. I certainly never did. Now you know the whole story. It is probably traveling the Hill at this moment, with a thousand exaggerations. God pity me: I never thought to come to this. Do not tell any one anything in this. It will be useless to try to stem the tide; bend beneath it, or it will break you down. Say nothing of excuse or palliation. In my heart I feel that you will not say aught of condemnation. It is a great deal to ask; perhaps you cannot do it now; but some time will you not try to forgive me? Live down all this. It is no real disgrace to you, though it may seem so. Make friends with the teachers, and with the people of God; they will strengthen you. Here, I think, was my fault; I tried to stand on the Hill alone, and I fell. “Lqvise.” �58 EXTRACTS FROM MRS. GREENE’S LETTERS. [We give only brief extracts from two of these letters; the substance of these letters being mostly given in Mr. Greene’s book.] "Peru, Oct. 14, 1866. " Mr. Torsey—Sir: The victim of your revenge, persecution and tyranny was found dead in Auburn, yesterday.” * * "Our opinion of you is that you are a base scoundrel and a black-hearted murderer, and we, every one of us, not only con­ sider you so, but others look upon you in the same light.” * “Louise M. Greene.” "Peru, Me., May 23, 1867. "Mr. Torsey—Sir: One year ago to-day, Louise received her death-blow from you, fleeiug from your presence as from a tiger.” * * * * “While God spares your life and mine, as often as the anni­ versary of poor Louise’s death returns, I shall write to those who we honestly and firmly believe were the cause of her death. “ We still think you are a base scoundrel and black-hearted murderer; we think you willfully and purposely neglected sending to us, so that the poor distracted creature might got beyond our reach. Nothing but the influence of a rich, power­ ful and corrupt denomination can save you and those connected with you, in this inhuman tragedy, from universal condemna­ tion.” * * * * "Louise M. Greene.” �REVIEW. ■ We have now completed our presentation of proofs, in rela­ tion to matters to be considered. We have purposely omitted all comments; and in our intro­ duction, we avoided everything which might seem like prejudg­ ing the case, or prejudicing our readers in advance. If they have read Greene’s pamphlet, we think they will agree with the Counsel whom we consulted, that the pamphlet and Mrs. Greene’s letters are atrocious libels; and that Mr. and Mrs. Greene, and other persons who knowingly and "with like malice aided in preparing, publishing or circulating the pam­ phlet, ought to be indicted and punished as other criminals; and also to be compelled, in civil actions, to pay such compen­ satory and punitive damages, as the law justly imposes upon such traducers of character. But our object is not to deprive Mr. Greene of any portion of his wealth; but to furnish for the public mind an antidote to the poison he has endeavored to infuse; to expose the artifices, fraud, falsehood and malignity, with which his pamphlet has been gotten up and circulated; to show that its authors must have known perfectly well that there was no foundation what­ ever in truth for the charges made by them, and to vindicate the Seminary and those connected with it from their, assaults. It remains, carefully to consider and review the pamphlet, and the facts and proofs we have presented, bearing upon it. Who are its authors? It is put forth as the production of “Jonas Greene”; and with affected modesty, he bespeaks his “kind readers” to “overlook his awkward style and want of literature.” On comparing the style of the pamphlet with letters of Mr. �60 I ■: and Mrs. Greene, and examining other facts which have come to light, we have come to the conclusion, that, in the main, it is the joint production of Mr. and Mrs. Greene and another person whose name we omit. We do not question the right of Mr. Greene to claim its paternity; but, before the public, it is right that those who shared with him the work, should also share the glory or the shame. Where was it printed ? On each of the title pages is, "Boston”; but the name of the printer does not appear. Why not ? The omission is unusual. Was he ashamed to have his name appear as the publisher of such a production? Was he unwilling to incur the responsibil­ ity of a libeller? Or was it, in fact, printed much nearer to Peru than Bostou? and the practise of deception commenced even on the title page? CREDIBILITY OF THE PAMPHLET. But it is of little consequence, where it was printed. The proper inquiries are—Is it true? Are there any reasonable grounds for believing any of the charges contained in it? Gan any confidence be reposed in the trullfulness, honesty and integrity of the authors of this production? The spirit and temper exhibited by persons, constitute one test, commonly regarded as quite reliable, to determine whether they are candid, fair and truthful. Now, with what motives and spirit were the authors of this pamphlet evidently actuated? Mr. Greene makes no small parade of his religion; and says his "wife has belonged to that denomination” (Methodist) "about thirty years.” On page 7, ho says—"We took her, hesitatingly, to that religious institution.” Italicizing religious is a covert, mean way of insinuating and charging, that the teachers in that Seminary were irreligious and hypocritical. Page 25—"Nor will I now say that hidden motives of ven­ geance, after slumbering for months, sprang to life and exercise, to accelerate for this freedom, a joint penalty, at the first favor­ able opportunity, on her and me.” �61 !■ Here is another mean attempt to make a charge, and endeav­ or to escape the responsibility of it, by saying, he does not make it. The charge, nevertheless, is made in that sentence; and its falsity and meanness are not diminished by the mode in which it is made. “I charged him,” (Dr. Torsey ) "in the Faculty meeting, with trying to make a hypocrite of her. lie showed temper, and said, ‘Do you say we tried to influence her in religious matters?’ I told him, in substance, that I could not say, by direct language, he did so, but the old proverb said, ‘Actions speak louder than words.’” [page- 30.] "If she is now dis­ honest, you have made her so.” [p. 9.] "Dr. Torsey has a great faculty to say or write in a way that he can put any construction he chooses to the same. He well understands the art of intrigue and double-dealing.” [p. 47.] "Clothing of all description was allowed in the wash, pro­ miscuously and unmarked, from the teacher (down, or up, as you please,) to the kitchen-girls or help.” [p. 81.] "Can you think of any sect of people anywhere, civil or otherwise, where she would have fared any worse than she did at this religious institution?” [p. 93.] "She flees from this man” (Mr. Torsey) “as from a tiger.” [p. 113.] "Do the public believe their bold assertions? If so, God pity them! and parents should be cautious how they trust their children in their hands.” [p. 114.] "I do not know about such persons having any conscience.” [p. 114.] " God and those who hold the skeleton keys only know—I do not—how much their skeleton keys had to do about their finding out her real sentiments or feelings towards them, by examining her private correspondence, in her room, in her absence!” [p. 115.] "Do the teachings of Christ appear in those professed followers?” [p. 121.] “In God's name, were they not doing all they could to cha­ grin and mortify her sister in the house of the principal of this school,—to disappoint, distract and break the heart of L.?” [p. 122.] "Dr. Torsey is as liable to dissemble and deny what, he did do, as others have done to screen themselves from blame.” [p. 140.] "God being my judge, I believe he is attempting to palm oft upon me an absolute falsehood.” [p. 142.] / ■L �62 S " He discloses to «s his wicked deception most when he tries to make students and others believe he loved her, was tender of her feelings, and felt bad about her misfortunes.” [p. 143.] "The reader can never realize our abhorrence and contempt for this modern Nero.” [p. 144.] "Torscy and her other accusers on the Hill may have religion, but I pray God to give me a different kind of religion.” [p:145.] "I loathe and detest this miserable compound of intrigue and deception, and desire him to be kept out of my sight and mind, if possible. I will not attempt to call him deserved names, as I can find no terms in the English language, that will do him justice.” [p.162.] The extractsfrom Airs. Greene's letters, (page 58,) are here given to show the bitter spirit of malignity with which Mr. Greene and his wife have pursued Mr. Torsey and the Seminary. It is not to be presumed that these letters were written by Mrs. G. jvithout the knowledge and approval of her husband. If the reader will examine the dates of these letters of Mrs. G.,and bear in mind her threat of an annual outpouring of such venom upon Mr. Torsey, and consider also the malignant spirit which pervades Mr. Greene’s pamphlet, he will have no diffi­ culty in deciding as to the credibility of this strange produc­ tion. Is it not in accordance with our experience, and knowledge of human nature, that no reliance whatever can be placed in per­ sons under the influence of such a spirit? Might we not reasonably expect from such sources, just such fraud in the procurement and use of affidavits and letters, and just such perversions of statements, and direct falsehoods, as we shall recall to your notice ? WHAT WAS MR. GREENE’S REAL OBJECT ? Was it to vindicate his daughter’s reputation ? Does he show much regard for her memory in publishing her letter to her sister, in which she says, “Do not tell any one anything in this”? Can it be believed that the statements in that letter, and the letter to her class, and certain extracts from her diary, are cal­ culated and were really expected to be of any benefit to her memory ? I �G3 Do parents, whether Christian or not, when a daughter admits such facts as are admitted in those letters and extracts, and then commits suicide, seek to give publicity to the matter, out of any regard to her reputation ? Is it in accordance with our experience, that parents suffering such an affliction would have requested an interview with her teachers, and then made such an exhibition of temper as Mr. G. describes on pages 43—15, and in other parts of his pamphlet? Do persons possessing proper parental feelings, after a lapse of sufficient time for internal fires, kindled by wrath, ordinarily to burn out, publish to the world such an exhibition of bad temper as pervades that book? On the page preceding the Preface, he says his object is to circulate the pamphlet as extensively as possible; and on the last page he asks the journalists of the State “to notice the same in their journals”; and he has been pressing its sale at prices which must be highly remunerative. And also, in strange disregard of all ordinary parental instincts, he has pul the pho­ tographs of his deceased daughter into the market; and caused them to be exposedfor sale, and hawked about in railroad cars and elsewhere! Have not vindictive passion, revenge, ambition for notoriety and the lust of gain extinguished or covered up all proper re­ gard for his daughter? What are the materials (by him called “evidence”) intro­ duced? Were they honestly obtained? and have they been HONESTLY USED? On page T9, Mr. Greene gives an extract from a letter of Miss Hunton, and comments upon it, at considerable length. In her statement to us, (page 29,) she says, “Mr. Greene gives only a part of my letter. I gave him a minute descrip­ tion, not only of the manner in which they were made, the ‘peculiar stitches,’ &c., but also of the •material, having a part of it then at home. Of the different marks by which I was able to identify them, ho gives only one,—the ‘peculiar stitches’—and to this he frequently alludes in a very sneering manner.” This letter was written in reply to one from Mr. Greene to her fath­ er, asking for a description of the underslceves. I �? 64 Giving but a part of the description, suppressing the rest, and adding such comments as he did, must strike any unpreju­ diced mind as being a dishonest use of the letter, not less rep­ rehensible than direct falsehood. 11 I L On pages 63 and 61, Mr. Greene publishes a letter from Miss Perley. By referring to Miss Perley’s statement, (page 36,) it appears that the letter was not written for publication, and that she was surprised to find it published. Would a person having any proper regard for what is just and honorable, have published a letter received under such circumstances, without permission? It also appears, in the statement of Miss Perley, that Mr. Newell, who, it is believed, aided Mr. Greene in pre­ paring materials for his pamphlet, wrote to her, requesting her to send him a statement of the standing and character of Lou­ ise, so far as she knew, for the purpose of publication. She says: “I answered it, positively declining to have my testimony placed in print.” If Mr. Greene or Mr. Newell could have had any doubt about the impropriety of publishing Miss Perley’s first letter, without her permission, her letter to Mr. Newell should have dispelled any such doubt. But not only was her first letter published, but extracts from her last were published ‘ freely. ” Also, on page 62 Mr. Greene publishes two extracts of letters professing to come from members of her class. These he pre­ faces with this remark, “I have also before me a few other letters from her classmates, handed to me by the same friend.” (page 61.)—The first extract is from a letter from Miss Bowers. In this she says, “When trying to write for publication, I could not do it, and for several reasons think it not best to publish anything.” And yet, in violation of this expressed wish and purpose of the writer, he not only publishes this, but several extracts from her private letters to Mr. and Mrs. Greene—mere letters of sympathy, nbver designed for publication. Let the reader now turn to Miss Bowers’ affidavit, page 28, and read what she says upon this point. And still Mr. Greene remarks (page 119), “I have not made a quotation from a single letter marked private or confidential.” A letter which the writer positively declines to have published, �I 65 is, so far as its publication is concerned, “private and confiden­ tial.” And if a man publishes extracts from such a letter, and says, “I have not made a quotation, from a single Idler marked private or confidential,” he is not only guilty of a dishonorable act in its publication, but of falsehood. The case of Miss Abbie S. Fuller resembles that of Miss Perley and Miss Bowers. Mr. Newell had written to her, requesting a letter for publi­ cation, and she had declined. She resides in Augusta. It appears from her affidavit (page 3-1) that Mr. Greene called on her several times, to talk with her about Louise. On two of these occasions, he asked her to write to his wife, saying she was very anxious to have from her a full description of that garment of hers found in the possession of Louise. Thus urged, she complied with his request, and wrote to Mrs. Greene “a strictly private letter, never intended for publication.” She added, as would be expected, “a few words of sympathy for the mother of Louise.” And yet Mr. Greene publishes extracts from that letter (page 78), and portions of her conversation with him; and in such manner, and with such comments, as are calculated to deceive the public, and do great injustice to Miss Fuller. We will allude to but one other case, that of Miss Mira I. Reed. Iler affidavit, on pages 29-34, will be carefully read ; and in connection with pages 53-55 in Mr. Greene’s pamphlet, by those who have it. The deception practised upon that estimable young lady, as described in her affidavit, is astounding. At Mr. Greene’s house she told him she had nothing to say against Dr. Torsey or the Institution ; and did not wish to say anything which should be used against them. Mr. Greene said, “We wish to know about this simply for our own satisfaction.” There was no intimation given that her statements were to be printed. In January following (1867) he called to see her at Kents Hill; and persuaded her to take a ride with him, wishing, as he said, to talk with her about Louise. After riding about half 5 �I 66 a mile, he called at Mr. Skolfield’s and requested her to go in, though a stranger to the family. lie then took a paper from his pocket, saying he wanted her to give a sort of certificate to Louise’s character. He was in great haste and read it very rapidly. Miss Reed took the paper, but read only a few lines, the writing not being very legible, and Mr. Greene being in great haste; and without time for examination or reflection, she signed it. She, however, noticed that on different pages there were several vacant spaces, which Mr. Greene said he left for the purpose of inserting other things afterwards; and he added, “he should put the document in better language.” It seemed needful to Mr. Greene that her statement should he sworn to. He pretended he had business at Readfield Corner (where he could find a Justice of the Peace). Of course she could not well object to going. As he approached the Corner, he told her, life was uncertain, and as she was going AVest, if she should not live, the paper would be of no service to him unless she should make oath to it. She strongly objected. But on being assured by Mr. Greene that it should not be used against her, nor against the Institution, she was persuaded to make oath to it. At this very time, he and his confederates had commenced collecting materials for the pamphlet, and the assurances he gave Miss Reed were an outrageous imposition. He took all this pains, and used these deceptive artifices and assurances, for the very purpose of having her affidavit printed in his book! And what was more infamous than all else, it appears, from the account of Miss Reed, that it had been changed, when pub­ lished, so that she is made to say, in print, many things she never did say, and never would have said, because they are untrue! AATe have known of persons having been convicted and sen­ tenced to the State Prison for the crime of perjury. But we have never known any such convicted felon, whoso crime in­ volved such depth of depravity, as these transactions described by Miss Reed. AAre think that no reader can avoid the conclusion that a man who can be guilty of such transactions is utterly undeserving of belief, whether under oath or not under oath. AVe find, scattered through the pamphlet, between twenty �67 and thirty extracts from letters which Mr. Greene says he has; but he does not give the names of the writers of any of them. How many different letters there are, by how many different persons written, and by what means they were obtained, we • have no information. Nor do we know whether the extracts have been correctly made, or are altered to suit the wishes of Mr. Greene. A man who could alter the affidavit of Miss Reed, in the manner she describes, is certainly capable of alter­ ing or fabricating extracts from letters. It could be done with much less danger of detection, if the names of the writers of the real or pretended letters were not given. If the letters are genuine, and the extracts also, we do not know whether the other suppressed parts of the letters wouldnot qualify or entirely change the effect of the parts published. We see what he has doue in the case of Miss Bowers. On page 138 of his book, Mr. Greene reflects with great severity upon the course of Miss Case. lie says, “It is clear to my mind th<d this one of the leading spirits of the Faculty then knew as well as Torsey that she would be expelled.” He then says, “One other member of her class writes me June, 1867, that Miss Case,” etc. Now turn to Miss Bowers’ affidavit, page 28, and you will see what she says with reference to this extract. Mr. Greene suppresses the whole of that letter, except that short extract (and this he garbles), and then launches his in­ vectives against Miss Case in the following language: “Then her first object was to explain and clear herself. The next ob­ ject was to publish her private confession to all the class,” etc. Was ever deception more apparent ? With Miss Bowers’ letter before him, he knew he was suppressing the truth, and thereby uttering a falsehood. The suppression of truth is sometimes the most effectual way of promulgating falsehood. He who did in the case of Miss Hunton and Miss Perley, is capable of doing it in other cases, where detection would be nearly impracticable. We think there is no occasion to give any further attention to these real or pretended extracts. Besides the four persons named (Miss Hunton, Miss Perley, Miss Bowers, and Miss Fuller), Mr. Greene has introduced the names of five others. �68 On page 80 and 81, he gives the statement of D. F. Ilougliton, to show, as he says, that Mr. and Mrs. Daggett were cog­ nizant of and allowed in the gentlemen’s department, “this • loose practise." It appears from his statement that while he attended school at Kents Hill, which was in the winter and spring of 1864 and 1865, he lost in the wash, two articles of clothing which were marked with the initials of his name. A few days afterward he made it known to a fellow-student, who told him he had taken from the table, where the clothes were laid, after being washed, an article of the same kind, if not the one lost, and that H. might have it. But he found it was not his and would not take it. He adds, “But after some hesitation, I took it and went to the steward, and told him the circumstances, asked him if I should keep them until I found mine. He told me I might, and if I did not find what I had lost, or an owner to what I had, I might keep it; which I did, and wore it away." In a letter furnished us, he says he did not intend to coffvey the idea that any loose practise was approved of; that further than the fact he named, he did not know what was approved of. Mr. Houghton’s statement is not in conflict with the state­ ment of Mr. and Mrs. Daggett, and does not sustain Mr. Greene’s proposition. Mr. Greene gives, what he says, are extracts from letters of two other young ladies, on pages 75 and 76. These extracts do not help Mr. Greene, in his attack upon the Seminary. The suppressed parts, of course, would not aid him. On page 75 he quotes and italicises seven lines from a letter of Miss Sherburne. We do not know under what circumstances the letter was obtained, whether it was intended for publication, nor whether Mr. Greene has taken the same deceptive and dishonorable ad­ vantage of her as he did of Miss Perley, Miss Hunton, Miss ' Fuller and Miss Bowers; and we do not deem it of any impor­ tance to comment upon this extract. On page 61 Mr. Greene publishes in full a letter from Miss Adelaide Webb, to Mr. S. R. Newell, dated December 16th, 1866. This letter is highly creditable to the feelings and judgment �69 of an intimate friend of Louise. We think it exhibits a much better spirit, and clearer evidence of a good heart, and of sincere attachment and regard for Louise, than either of her parent’s has shown in any part of Air. Greene’s pamphlet. In that letter there is no bitterness—no calling upon God, in a light, irreverent way—no sneering at religion or religious peo­ ple—no scurility—no false charges against others—not one ivord of censure against any connected with the Seminary al Kents Hill. As Air. Greene commends this letter so highly, and publishes it entire, it is to be regretted, that he and his wife had not imbibed somewhat of its spirit. It will be noticed that this letter was in reply to one from Hr. Newell, who, it would seem, had then commenced gathering­ materials for the pamphlet. We have intended to allude at least, to all of the written evidence or statements which Air. Greene introduces into his boSk, excepting statements from his family. Does it not seem remarkable that so little occasion for censure of the teachers at Kents Hill should appear? Consider the unwearied efforts of Mr. Greene and his associates to find every disaffected person they could; the artifices he has resorted to; the fraud he has practised; the direct falsehoods inserted in Hiss Reed’s affidavit by him or by his procurement; the garbled extracts from letters, with such omissions that the writers were made by him to pro­ mulgate falsehoods; and then look it all over, and you will be surprised to find how little there is, and of how little worth. GJl OSS MISREPKESENTA. TION. The reader will doubtless remember that during the spring and summer of 1867, there appeared in a number of the papers of the State what purports to be an account of “a meeting of the citizens of the town of Peru” to take measures to “erect a monument” to perpetuate the memory of Aliss Al. Louise Greeue, on the spot where her remains were found. This was also published in the form of a circular and widely scattered through the State. The article was accompanied iu the paper from which it was taken, with editorial remarks, from which we extract the following :— �I 70 "Conceiving that the reports to which the affair gave rise in the newspapers are calculated to do injustice to the memory of Miss Greene, her friends have taken steps to establish her character, up to the time of the charges against her, by the testimony of those who had the best opportunity of observing her conduct. We subjoin a certificate prepared by the Town Clerk of Peru.” Then follows the certificate found in Greene’s book, pages 14 and 15. Also immediately preceding the circular, the editor says :— "By the following circular it will be seen that the citizens of Peru have taken steps to raise a monument to the memory of the unfortunate girl, who could die rather than sutler disgrace.” The reader, we think, will find no difficulty in arriving at the conclusion that this circular was the production of Mr. Greene, or of some one with his knowledge and consent. He is, there­ fore, responsible for it. It is obvious that the reported chair­ man of the meeting, and the first named on the "committed,” knew nothing of the circular until it appeared in print. How many of the others named were alike ignorant, is left for the reader to conjecture. To show the method to which Mr. Greene resorts to influence the public upon the subject, and to show his claim upon the confidence of the tribunal to which he appeals in his book, page 4, we present the following correspondence :— Monmouth, January 25, 1868. Capt. Samuel Holmes—Dear Sir: The following, which is taken from the Portland Transcript of March 23, 1867, will ex­ plain itself:— "At a meeting of the citizens of the town of Peru, Capt. Samuel Holmes being called to the chair, S. R. Newell, Esq., was chosen Secretary. It was voted to raise a Committee of six, whose duty shall be to solicit funds by contribution from the public, for the purpose of erecting a monument on the spot where M. Louise Greene so terribly perished, as a mark of re­ spect to her memory for her womanly accomplishments, virtues, natural as well as great acquired abilities. It is believed that the,public desire to contribute something to rear a respectable monument to mark the spot where one of their brightest orna­ ments perished. �i 71 “Rev. S. S. Wyman and Rev. Wm. Woodman, of Peru, Rev. A. Maxwell, of Sumner, Rev. R. B. Andrews, of Mechanic Falls, Rev. 0. H. Johnson, of Jay, and Rev. P. Hopkins, of Woodstock, were chosen said Committee, who are to receive the funds and direct the expenditure. “The undersigned accept the position assigned us, and will aid the enterprise. We believe the public desire to give ex­ pression to their feelings and sympathy in some way, and we would suggest that each community interested appoint a suita­ ble person, male or female, as sub-committee, to present the subject to their citizens; we would further advise that each sub-committee simply state the object for which the fund is to be raised, and receive what is voluntarily given. Let the stone be reared just in proportion as the public shall contribute. “Sub-committees will attend to their duty, and when they have closed their labors, they will forward the amount in their hands to either of the undersigned. Also, all private contribu­ tors will do the same, and, if desired, their names will be regis­ tered in a book kept for that purpose. “When the monument is completed, the public will be noti­ fied, when religious services will be held on that sacred spot, which gvill be suitably dedicated. “Classmates, students, teachers, scholars, acquaintances, strangers, one and all, are respectfully invited to send in their free offerings. Any neighborhood, school, or association can adopt their own way to collect and forward what they choose. Any sum, be it small or otherwise, will be very acceptable. S. S. Wyman, Wm. Woodsum, A. Maxwell, - Committee. . R. B. Andrews, O. H. Johnson, P. Hopkins,' Peru, January 1st, ISC1!.” Will you have the kindness to answer the following ques­ tions ? 1. Was there to your knowledge, “a meeting of the citizens of the town of Peru,” held as the extract which I send you states ? 2. If so, were you present and were you “called to the chair,” as stated in the extract ? �72 3. Did you ever know or hear of such a meeting as this ac­ count specifies, and for the purpose therein stated, until you learned it through the public press ? 4. Will you please state, as nearly as you can recollect, the conversation you held with the Rev. S. S. Wyman upon the subject ? Please answer by return mail, and grant me the privilege, if deemed necessary, to make your answer public. Truly yours, D. B. Randall. Reply. Peru, Jan. 29, 1868. Rev. D. B. Randall—Dear Sir: Yours of the 25th instant is received, and in answer to your first question, “Was there, to your knowledge, a meeting of the citizens of the town of Peru, held as the extract which I send you states?” Answer, I have no knowledge of any such meeting. Second;“If so, were you present, and were you called to the chair?” Answer, I was not present, and was not called to the chair of any such meeting. Third, “Did you ever know or hear of such a meeting as this account specifies, and for the purpose herein stated, until you learned it through the public press?” Answer, No, I do not. You wish me to state a conversation I held with Rev. Samu­ el S. Wyman, on the subject. The Rev. S. S'. Wyman called on me I think in the month of May or June last, and inquired if there had been a meeting held in which he and others had been appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions to procure a monument for Miss M. Louise Greene. I told him I knew of no such meeting. He told me he had seen an account of such meeting in the papers, and that he had had papers sent to him to circulate to obtain subscriptions for a monument. He mani­ fested a good deal of surprise at the whole proceeding. Said he had not circulated the papers, and that he should not do so. You are at liberty to make the answers herewith submitted, public if deemed best.* , Very respectfully yours, Samuel Holmes. •We respectfully commend the above to the notice of the editor of the Port­ land Transcript. �73 The public may be curious to know how much has been con­ tributed for that purpose, and what disposition has been made of it. How soon the monument is to be completed, and “when the religious services will be held on that sacred spot.” We are sorry to be unable to give any information upon these points. A. Few of the many Errors and Falsehoods in the Pam­ phlet, Exposed. Mr. Greene says on page 50 that Roscoe Smith told him that Dr. T. told him that in answer to Louise’s request to have the affair kept from the school and she stay and graduate, he told her “the school knew it, or most of them.” We have the letter of Mt. Smith to Mr. Torsey, dated Dec. 30, 1867, in which he says that Dr. Torsey did not tell him that he said this to Louise; and that he, Smith, did not so tell Greene. It also appears from Mr. Torsey’s affidavit that he did not tell her so. On page 118, Mr. Greene states he has just received a let­ ter, dated July 22d, 1867, in which the writer says he lost his wallet, containing about $700 in money; and that he had heard of a number of students who lost money and other articles; and thereupon Mr. Greene makes his characteristic comments. We have the affidavit of Mr. Chas. P. Gower, (the person alluded to,) in which he says he received in the summer of 1867, “three letters from Mr. Greene, asking many questions about losing money; whether he had lost any clothes, or knew of others who had lost money or clothes; also, whether he had had any clothes exchanged there, or knew of any one who was ill-treated by the teachers or Torsey,” &c., &c. We have two of these letters. We see here what persever­ ing efforts M"r. Greene has made to find out every one who bad be.en displeased at Kents Hill, and to ascertain everything that could be used against the Seminary. Mr. Gower “was very busy and answered the letters hurried­ ly, not supposing they would be printed or made public in any way.” He says “he did not lose about seven hundred dollars, but about seven dollars, and is quite sure he wrote Mr. Greene so.” �74 L ■ »< t \ t. 1 i L (■ i ■. Mr. Greene complains that Mr. Torsey did not permit his daughter to go home with Miss Chapman in 1864. He says they both went to Dr. T. together, to get permission for L. to go, "she carrying my general permit in her hand.” "They saw Dr. Torsey on the street, L. made known her request, and he refused to grant it,” &c. [p. 22.] Mr. Greene materially misrepresents the facts in this case. It appears from the affidavits of Mr. Torsey (page 9), and of Miss Chapman (page 43), that Miss Greene was alone when she met Mr. Torsey, once on the Seminary grounds, and soon after, on the street; and asked permission to go home with Miss Chapman; and that she had no permit from her parents, to make such a visit. In both instances, her request was denied, and the reason was given;—that the rules of the school did not allow students to ride away from the Hill without permission from parents. Later, in the evening of the same day, Miss Greene, accom­ panied by Miss Chapman, pursues Mr. Torsey to his room, after he had retired, sick and suffering from neuralgic pain, and im­ portunes him,for the third time; and replies to his refusal,with impertinence. Mr. Greene says (page 24 of his book), "No valid reason existed or was given why her request could not be granted. Was it just to deny her?” Miss Greene had no permit from her parents to make this visit, and there teas no necessity for it. There was then a valid reason for the refusal, and it was given. Even if Miss Greene had had a permit from her parents; in view of her repeated violations of rule, in this particular, she might justly have been refused at this time. The Rules of the school are mostly published in the Cata­ logue. The following additional Rules are repeated from time to time to the students: 1. Students must not visit each others rOoms, or'in any way disturb each other, in study hours. 2. Those under age must not leave the Hill to visitfriends, with­ out perniiis from Parents or Guardians. 3. Students wishing to spend money in riding or in pleasure excursions, must have permits from Parents or Guardians. The reasons for these rules are obvious. No judicious parent �75 would place a daughter at a seminary where such regulations are not enforced. Mr. Greene says : "On Wednesday morning she was told by Dr. Torsey that the school knew it.” [p. 50.] "Her confession was made Tuesday afternoon, and early next morning Dr. Torsey tells her,—‘The school knew it.’ Was it true that this matter had been published to the school of over two hundred students in so brief a time?” [p. 51.] Dr. Torsey did not tell her the school knew it. lie told her he did not know "whether any of the students knew it, but it would be difficult to have it kept a secret.” [p. 11.] Mr. Greene says that Dr. Torsey and Miss Case told him the character of Louise was "irreproachable.” Dr. Torsey states, under oath, that he never did; and so does Miss Case. Mr. Greene says that at the meeting of the Faculty, called at his request in 1866.—"Once in the course of the conversation he” (Dr. Torsey) "stamped upon the floor, thus trying to stop us and stamp us down in that way.” [p. 45.] And again, on page 114,—"Torsey, when we were accusing him of prejudice and injustice, stamped his foot on the floor, and tried to stop us with this show of authority, or to stamp us down.” Professors Robinson, Morse and Harriman, aud Miss Robin­ son, on oath, say that the statement of Mr. Greene is “utterly untrue and unfounded.” [p. 14.] And Miss Case, who was also at that meeting, testifies, "Mr. Torsey did not, to my knowledge, stamp his foot upon the floor, or in any way treat them (Mr. and Mrs. Greene) uncivilly. On the contrary, he was most gentlemanly, kind and forbearing.” [p. 16.] It appears that at that meeting Mr. and Mrs. Greene were mad; and it is not uncommon for persons in such condition to think that others are mad. Mr. Greene states, on page 33, that Mr. Chandler, the stu­ dent who went to Peru with his daughter Chestina, told him certain things; among others, that “it was the general belief on the Hill that she was deranged.” Mr. Chandler, under oath, says, "I know I never told him so. I did not see Mr. Greene at all.” [p. 48.] The statements made by Mr. aud Mrs. Greene as to the arti- �76 i I. ■ = II cles of wearing apparel lost by Louise, in the wash, we consider unworthy of credit. We refer to pages 16, 17, 19, 72 and 73 of his pamphlet, and other places, in which he claims that his daughter lost, the first term she was at the Hill, five articles, all plainly marked; also one pair of rubbers, a good umbrel­ la, $3.00, and a dollar’s worth of postage stamps;—the second term, some small articles, such as handkerchiefs and towels, and one plainly marked chemise;—third term, .one pair lace undersleeves, one flannel underskirt, marked, and two marked night-caps;—fourth term, one pair sandal rubbers;—fifth term, one pair marked ruffled drawers, some napkins and a handker­ chief;—sixth term, one pair spotted muslin undprsleeves, three pairs white woolen stockings, all she had, and all plainly marked;—seventh term, one veil, ode napkin, and other small articles;—eighth term, one new cotton skirt, and one wide silk scarf.” In fact, in every term when she boarded in the College Building, she is said to have “lost more or less of such articles as napkins, towels, veils, gloves, handkerchiefs, drawers, stock­ ings, &c., &c.” And the last term, ‘‘60 articles or more lost or missing, this term only!” Miss Greene commenced at Kents Hill, March, 1861. There are three terms a year. The sixth term commenced in Novem­ ber, 1862, the winter term, when Mr. Greene says she lost “three pairs of white woolen stockings, all she had/ She had not then commenced taking things which did not belong to her; and we find no suggestion in the pamphlet, as to what was done when her stockings were all gone. If we had not shown that the statements of Mr. and Mrs. Greene are undeserving of any credit, whether made under oath or not, the proofs that we have offered, as to the supply she had when she boarded herself, and Mrs. Merrill did her washing, the mode in which the laundry was managed, and the fact that not one word of complaint of any such losses, was made by Louise to Mrs. Daggett, nor to any one of her school­ mates, so far as we can learn, would render the above account of pretended losses, utterly incredible.* It will not be forgotten that Mr. and Mrs. Greene, according to their account, must have known of their alleged losses, as •See statement of Mrs. Patterson, page 19. �1 77 they were occurring, and yet not a word of complaint from either of them during fifteen terms 1 Another ground of complaint by Mr. Greene is that the teachers at Kents Hill, especially Dr. Torsey, were prejudiced against his daughter, and that she was ill-treated and annoyed by them. If she had lost clothes and other things, and had been treated as he pretends, he would not have kept her at the Sem­ inary; he would not have sent his other two daughters to the same school, and would not have been so desirous in the spring of 18G6, to purchase Mr. Packard’s house and become the near­ est neighbor of Dr. Torsey; and that, too, for the purpose of continuing his other daughters at that Seminary, especially in view of the unpleasant presentiments of his daughter, of which he speaks repeatedly in his book. In order to' harrow up and exasperate the feelings of his readers against the teachers at Kents Hill, he asserts that Lou­ ise, with, "as it.were, her brain on fire, walks her lonely room through that night.” (Tuesday night, 22d May.) [p. 122.] That Miss Case did all she could to accuse and convict her, and left her alone the night before she left. [p. 88.] And he at­ tempts to make his readers believe that it was known to the teachers, and especially to Miss Case, that she was alone and in great distress that night; and was designedly left alone, that she might be driven to self destruction. At that time, her intimate friend, Mary E. Chapman, was her room-mate. She asked Miss Case twice for permission to stay with Miss Hunton that night; the request was positively re­ fused, and she was directed to stay in her room. Neither Miss Case nor any other teacher knew that she was absent from her room that night, [pages 16 and 45.] Of course Miss Chapman would not have left Louise alone, if she had been in such condi­ tion as to make the act unkind. Miss Bowers testifies that she was in Louise’s room the next morning (May 23), and found her at her toilet; and saw noth­ ing that led her to infer that she had not been in bed as usual. "She told me she had slept alone during the night; and if her bed had not been occupied, I think I should have noticed it.” [p. 27.] ■ i ! �78 Miss Pike testifies that Louise, the same morning, came to Chestina’s room and went to the mirror and arranged her hair, cuffs, etc., saying, “I did not complete my toilet before start­ ing.” [p- 38.] The reader can judge from such fabrications what respect the author’s statements are entitled to. i 8 i i Skeleton Key. It appears from the pamphlet that Miss Greene had had a skeleton key about three years, with which she could open all or nearly all of the students’ rooms in the College Building. But Mr. Greene says that "it was given her years before, by a student, as a sort of keepsake; and that while having the key was charged against her as a crime, no attempt has ever been made to prove that she ever used it wrongfully.” [p. 6.] We do not find any evidence that it was so given or kept. And it is somewhat remarkable that a young 'lady, so nearly perfect as Mr. Greene represents her, should keep in a Sem­ inary of learning, as a keepsake, a skeleton key, that would open all the students’ rooms and certain other rooms in the College Building. Especially in view of the fact that the students of the Seminary are frequently and faithfully warned against ‘ keeping such keys in their possession ; and they are often told the possession of a skeleton key could be considered as reasonable evi­ dence of intended wrong doing. We do not find, however, that her having it was charged as a crime against her. Whether she was accustomed to use it wrongfully, we do not certainly know. We do know that such locks and keys were procured for the College Building, that it was believed and intended that the key of any one room should not open the lock on any other room. After keys have been used awhile, it will sometimes happen that a key somewhat worn will open another lock. But we find that the key of the room occupied by Miss Greene at the time she unlocked Miss Huntington's room, as described in her affidavit, (p. 29,) will not open the lock of No. 10. Mr. Daggett, in a letter in our possession, states that "the locks and keys of rooms Nos. 8 and 10 are the same now that they were at the time referred to by Emma Huntington in her affidavit; and No. 10 cannot be unlocked by the key of No. 8.” I �79 We do not know of any way in which Miss Greene could have opened that lock, except with her skeleton key,—which would certainly be a wrongful use of it. And we do not well see how she could have obtained certain articles belonging to other students, which were plainly marked, except from their rooms, and by the same means. The possession of such a key in spite of frequent warnings, would certainly be a constant temptation to wrong doing, and it may have been one of the principal causes that led to the sad catastrophe in the history of the young lady. It is claimed by Mr. Greene that the five dollars admitted to have been taken by Louise from Miss Church’s room, was taken under some mysterious, unaccountable influence, not amounting to theft; that she made no attempt to conceal the act; that she promptly confessed it, when, if there had been any 'real guilt, she would have refrained from confessing, and would have escaped detection. The facts in this case (as seems to be Mr. Greene’s usual course,) are, in part, suppressed, and, in part, misrepresented. Miss Church testifies (pages 22 and 23,) that she put the five dollar bill into her portmonnaie, and this into her table drawer, and then closed the drawer. It was left in that condi­ tion. She locked her door the next morning, when she went to breakfast, and found it locked when she returned. She dis­ tinctly remembers that Miss Greene did not come to breakfast that morning till after she had finished eating. She ascertained, immediately after breakfast, that the money was gone. She says it must have been taken while she was at breakfast. She informed Miss Case of the loss, and the next morning told Miss Greene. She was sewing, “and colored very deeply,— did not look up,”—was confused,—and left the conviction on Miss Church’s mind that she knew about it. Mr. Daggett testifies (pages 19 and 20),—“After Miss Greene’s equivocation about the handkerchief and other arti­ cles, I felt confident that she took the money. I first asked her, ‘Whereis that five dollar bill you took from Miss Church’s port­ monnaie ?’ She colored, hesitated and said, ‘ I have not got it.’ Feeling still more confirmed, by her appearance, that she took the money, I asked, ‘What have you done with it?’ She did not i ! �80 answer for some minutes; nor until I advised her to disclose the whole thing. At last she said, ‘I gave it to Mrs. Kent.’ I asked her if she would restore it, and she said she would, and did so the next morning.” i I Mr. Greene, in various parts of his pamphlet, asserts and charges, in effect, that early in the day of the 23d of May, and before noon, Dr. Torsey was informed that Louise had left, and must have known that she left in such condition and under such circumstances, as to have created the belief in his mind that she would probably commit suicide; and that the general belief, on the Hill, was that she would. He more than intimates that Mr. Torsey purposely drove her to distraction by his cruelty. He says that there was ample time to send to Lewiston in sea­ son to save his daughter, and endeavors to make his readers believe that a messenger would have been sent, and his daugh­ ter would have been saved, but for Mr. Torsey’s management in preventing it. On examining the affidavits of Dr. Torsey and Mr. Harriman, and other proofs we have presented, it will be found that Dr. Torsey did not know she had left until afternoon; and was not informed till a later hour, that she had gone in her poorest ap­ parel. He was told that she said she should return that day. He had no suspicion that she would commit suicide. Mr. Har­ riman advised to defer sending in any direction till it should be .seen whether she should return that afternoon in the train from Lewiston. But if Dr. Torsey had sent a team immediately upon learning she had left, it would have reached Lewiston too late. The team could not have started from the Hill earlier than one or two o’clock P. M., [See Mr. Harriman’s affidavit, page 45.] and would not have reached Lewiston earlier than seven o’clock, the distance being twenty-seven miles, and the traveling very bad. Louise left the Elm House, in Auburn, a little after four o’clock, P. M., perhaps as late as twenty minutes past four, and was not seen afterwards,—as is stated in Greene’s pam­ phlet, page 34. It thus appears that if Dr. Torsey had dispatched a team, it would have arrived at Lewiston at least two hours too late. �81 If any further proof should seem needful to show that we have not allowed too much time for the messenger to go to Lewiston, we would refer to the affidavit of Air. Chandler (p. 47), who says : “We started about six o’clock, and arrived at Air. Greene’s house about midnight.” Air. Greene says “that the distance is twenty-live miles,”—about the same as from Kents Hill to Lewiston. Air. Greene says (p. 34 of pamphlet,) “that on receiving notice from Air. Chandler and Chestina, he was terribly alarmed as to her fate,—made all haste to proceed to Lewiston, and soon was ready to start.” But he did not arrive at Lewiston, the distance being thirty-five miles, till about ten o’clock the next morning; having been, according to his account, nearly ten hours traveling thirty-five miles. And yet, page 139 of his pamphlet, he allows but “about three hours” to drive a team from Kents Hill to Lewiston, a distance of twenty-seven miles I The parents undoubtedly believed that Louise had gone to her uncle’s at Auburn, where he would naturally call on his way to Lewiston. Hence the perfect coolness with which they received the news of her departure, and hence the reason that Air. Greene made no haste to pursue his erring and “distracted” daughter. It is claimed, by Air. Greene, that there was a gross violation of propriety and of law, in going into his daughter’s room, and examining the articles which had been taken by her; that she was accused, tried, condemned and virtually expelled, in a most cruel and outrageous manner; that there should have been a regular trial, with counsel, etc. The Building in which her room was, did not belong to her, any more than a man’s house belongs to a child who occupies . one of its rooms. And the teachers had the same moral and legal right to enter her room, without legal process—even if she had objected—as a parent would have to enter a room in his own house, occupied by a child. But Louise made no objection. Her room was visited by her express consent; and every article that was examined, was, on request, produced by her; and not one was taken, excepting those she admitted were not hers. She was not expelled—and was treated with a degree of leu6 �82 iency which, we think, has rarely, if ever, been surpassed in such cases. Here was a young lady, about twenty-two years old, in whose possession a large number of articles were found, belonging to other students, which had mysteriously disappeared. Some of them were plainly marked. One article had been marked, by Louise, with her own name. A skeleton key was found in her possession,—which she admitted she had had for some two or three years—that would unlock all the students’ rooms in the College Building, and some other rooms. She admitted she had taken five dollars from Miss Church’s room, and no excuse or palliation whatever was made or pretended for this act. No intimation had been given by her parents, or by any other per­ son, that there was any tendency, in Louise, to mental or moral insanity. • Now, in determining whether the teachers conducted mildly and with great forbearance, or rashly and with great cruelty,— we are to consider the facts as they then existed, and the knowl­ edge and information the teachers then possessed. Suppose the Faculty had done just as Mr. Greene appears to think they ought to have done. If they had smoothed the matter over— justified or excused her taking so many articles of clothing, and having the skeleton key—if they had assured her that stealthily • going into another’s room and taking money—was a trivial matter, which could be hushed up and kept secret—and that she could stay and graduate with the highest honors—-just as though her conduct had been irreproachable—and if it had been possible to keep the matter secret, and such a reprehensible course bad been pursued,—who in the community, that has the slightest regard to the distinction between virtue and vice, or to truth, honesty arid uprightness, would not have despised the teachers in that Seminary, and‘have ceased to have any respect for their impartiality or integrity. Subsequent events, unusual, unexpected, and which the teachers had no ground for anticipating, are not to be regarded, in determining whether they acted properly. There are many wise "prophets of the past.” Suppose Louise had not committed suicide—and other acts of misconduct had subsequently come to light, how many would have condemned the teachers for not having expelled her at once? �83 Yet Mr. Greene declares that his daughter fled from Dr. Torsey "as from a tiger.” Could a charge be more unfounded and wicked? Contradicted as the father is, by the dying testimony of his child, for whose memory he professes much love, he nev­ ertheless insists on spreading the defamation, with the most untiring persistency. He can see and understand why this daughter should flee from her teachers, as from persons intent on her ruin! Can he see as clearly, and explain to the public, why in her flight she did not seek a father's protection against these wicked people, who he contends were pursuing her? In many parts of his pamphlet, Mr. Greene endeavors to cre­ ate, in the public mind, the belief that the funds given by the State to this Seminary, have been perverted from their legiti­ mate use—that the expenses of students there arc exhorbitantly high—and that the teachers and other officials connected with the Seminary must have become enriched, and are bigoted and tyrannical. The proofs we have presented conclusively show that Miss Greene—(as well as other students)—was treated with great kindness; .and that every one of Mr. Greene's chargesis utterly without the least foundation in truth—and that the exact opposite of such charges is the real truth. The expenses of students at Kents Hill are considerably less than at most other institutions of similar grade. The highest price ever charged for board, in the winter term, including use of furnished room, washing, fuel and lights, is $4.00 per week. The price is usually much lower, the price varying from term to term, according to the cost of materials and labor. The profits of the Boarding House have been only sufficient to make the needful repairs, and make good the waste. The price of tuition in the College course is $7.00 per term* of thirteen weeks; in the Seminary course, $6.00 per term. Tuition in Music, Penmanship, Book-keeping and ornamental branches, is extra, and as low as at any other similar institution. A majority of the students board themselves, and thereby considerably reduce their expenses. It will be seen that the advantages of this Institution, like *Thc tuition in the College course while Miss Greene was in the Institution was $6.00 per term. �84 n most colleges and seminaries, are afforded to students at a price much less than the cost. Every student is, in part, a beneficiary. Mr. Greene speaks of the large amount he has paid to the Seminary, “ in former times, when my purse was open to the claims of that Institution” (page 99 of his pamphlet); intima­ ting that he has contributed liberally to its funds,—but if he has ever contributed a dollar to the Institution as a donation, the fact has not come to our knowledge. The compensation paid to the teachers has always been mod­ erate—the aggregate amount of salaries last year was $4455.06, divided among eight teachers,—the salary of Mr. Torsey, the President, being $941.76. This is largely in advance from for­ mer years. Some of the teachers have families, and find their salaries hardly sufficient to meet the demands of a very frugal living. They remain at the Institution at a pecuniary sacrifice, from their regard for the Institution, and for the cause of learn­ ing. There are many charges and insinuations scattered through Mr. Greene’s pamphlet, which we have not noticed in this Re­ view. We deem it unnecessary. They are all answered in the proofs presented. Alleged Insanity of Miss Greene. In many parts of the pamphlet, Mr. Greene makes statements, and introduces the statements of others, as to the state of her health and of her mind at different periods of her life. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Notwithstanding the many books that have been written upon mental and moral philosophy, very little is really known in regard to the opera­ tions of the mind. There are often hereditary or other tenden­ cies to suicide or other crimes, so strong as nearly or quite to take away moral accountability. And there is often such method in insanity as to make it very difficult to determine whether one is really sane or not. It appears that before Louise came to Kents Hill she lost a very dear friend. Who that fi-iend was is not stated by Mr. Greene, nor does it appear what was the actual or expected relationship between them. It does appear that her mind then received a severe shock; and that she made an ineffectual at­ tempt to commit suicide. We think there can be no reasonable | �85 doubt that Mr. and Mrs. Greene knew this fact—as they did other facts, transpiring from time to time, which they now ad­ duce as proofs of her tendency to insanity. It was plainly their duty to communicate to her teachers these facts, or, at least, some of them, that they might be ena­ bled to treat so delicate a case with especial care. But no such intimation was given to the teachers by either of them;—and if there is any occasion to regret that a different course was not taken with Louise (regarding her liability to suicide), her pa­ rents alone are blameworthy. 3Iiss Greene’s Letter. Mr. Greene has seen fit to publish two letters written by his daughter, one to the class, the other to her sister Chestina, the day she left, and after she had taken the cars; probably writ­ ten at Auburn, at the hotel where she spent several hours. They are the last letters, and the only ones, it is believed, she wrote after leaving the school. On the closest examination of those letters—which are substantially the same—giving the cause of her trouble and of her leaving, the impartial reader will fail to perceive that she charges the slightest blame on her teachers, or gives an intimation that she had been wronged or injured by any one connected with the Seminary. But, on the contrary, it is most apparent that she viewed the teachers as kind, Christian people, on whom she could and did recom­ mend her young sister, left at Kents Hill, to rely for protection and “strength.” The letter to her sister is found in Mr. Greene’s pamphlet, page 39. (See, also, page 56 of this Reply.) No one can read this letter without feeling the deepest sym­ pathy for its unhappy author. But it can impart no lustre to her memory, or give consolation to afflicted friends, to charge innocent persons with the great crime of maliciously conspiring to ruin her. With what heart could a father give publicity to this letter which was written only for the eye of the sister to whom it was addressed, and by the grossest perversion of its contents, make his deceased daughter bear false and damaging testimony against her teachers, on whom he wishes to fasten the responsibility of her tragical death. “My much loved but deeply wronged sister.” Who had wronged her sister? To whom did she refer when she addressed �86 those words to Chcstina ? Had she allusion to Dr. Torsey or any of her teachers whom she had just left ? Remember, this was a private letter, intended to be seen only by her sister. She could speak plainly, without restraint. If she had been wronged by the teachers, would she not noiv declare it to Chestiria, in justice to herself and in justice to this confiding sister, who was still under the charge of these people ? Surely she would; she could not have failed to do so. But not an intimation escapes her in either letter published, that she held the teachers, or any one connected with the Seminary, responsible in any degree, for the unfortunate position in which she views herself. She sought, as was natural, to palliate her offences to her sister by giving the most favorable construction to her own unfortunate acts; yet she held herself alone responsible for the consequences to herself, and to her "deeply wronged sister.” Hence, hav­ ing related to her sister in this private letter “the whole story,” she appeals to Chestina to forgive her, in the following touch­ ing language : “It is a great deal to ask ; perhaps you cannot do it now; but some time will you not try to forgive me ?” “Dr. Torsey informed me this morning that I had better leave to-day; 'not expulsion,’he said, ‘we won’t call it that, but I advise you to go home.”’ This extract agrees materially with Dr. Torsey’s statement of what transpired at the interview he had with Miss Greene the morning she left. By request, she met Dr. Torsey in the parlor at the College. Both were deeply troubled by what had transpired, and the anxious in­ quiry was, “What can be done?” Miss Greene said if the matter was known to the school, she could not stay. Knowing, as Dr. Torsey did, the impracticability of keeping it secret, he dare not assure her it would not be known to the school. Find­ ing her determined to leave, he agreed to arrange for her to go home that day. He’kindly assured her, “We won’t call it ex­ pulsion,” and that he would be her friend in the matter. Miss Chapman, the room-mate of Louise, testifies that she saw Dr. Torsey when he left the parlor, at the close of this interview; that he appeared deeply affected—had been weeping. Do these facts justify the oft-repeated charge made by Mr. Greene, that Louise was driven from the school, the victim of Dr. Torsey’s prejudice and malice? Could a father have done more, or ad­ vised differently under the circumstances? Hud Miss Greene �87 followed the advice of Mr. Torsey, and returned home to her parents, and been received by them as Christian parents would receive an erring child, there “would have been a future” for her. How sad the reflection, that a child, in the hour of deepest affliction, dare not approach her parents and open her heart to thepi I How terrible that lack of confidence in paternal kind­ ness and love, that should determine her to disregard the advice of her teacher and true friend, and seek death, solitary, in that dark forest, rather than meet her parents and tell them all that had transpired; invoke their counsel and aid, and, if need be, their pardon. This is a painfully suggestive lesson to parents,—so to train and educate their children, by precept and by example, that in their severest trials they may, with unbounded confidence, seek a parent’s advice, a father’s home and protection. "To me it appears that some party or parties other than her­ self are culpable and responsible before God, if not before human laws, for this sad and afflicting occurrence.” (Mr. Greene’s pamphlet, page 4.) Could the father pen those words, and make them public? Could he arraign those teachers—whose Christian character had stood the test of long years of toil and public scrutiny—upon the charge of the murder of his daughter, and not feel the question pressed upon him—Are you sure that you are not of the “party or parties, who' are culpable and re­ sponsible before God, if not before human laws, for this sad and afflicting occurrence” ? The subject is too painful to pursue ; but the father, who is charging this great crime on others, in the spirit which pervades his pamphlet, cannot reasonably feel that this important question of self-examination is unkindly sug­ gested. “ Make friends with the teachers and with the people of God; they will strengthen.you. Here I think was my fault: I tried to stand alone on the Hill, and I fell.” We ask the reader to give this closing paragraph a careful consideration, and decide to whom she referred as “ the people of God.” Were they her teachers, or did she refer to persons not connected with the Seminary ? We are examining the last written words of this, young lady. Whatever liberty the father of the deceased may have taken with this testimony in pervert- t �3 88 ii ■ ! ing its plainest meaning, we have no purpose to accomplish that would justify our following such example. When these words were written, Louise evidently believed that her sister would continue a student at the Hill. Hence, in her letter to her class, she asks them to be kind to that sis­ ter; and hence her advice to Chestina, to "make friends with the teachers and the people of God ; they will strengthen you.” Louise had been a professor of religion ; she knew that her teachers, Dr. Torsey, Prof. Robinson, Miss Case, Miss Robin­ son, Profs. Morse and Harriman, and the steward and matron, Mr. an,d Mrs. Daggett, were the leading members of the little church at Kents Hill. She had listened to Dr. Torsey and Profs. Robinson and Morse, in church and in chapel, as minis­ ters of the gospel, and had been accustomed to meet them all as "the people of God.” Can the candid reader doubt that she referred her sister to the same individuals when she used.the terms "teachers,” and “people of God,” “they will strengthen you” ? Who will strengthen yon ? Mr. Greene says, page 40 : “She does not say she believed her teachers—her accusers and judges—to be such people. She did not mean to say that of Dr. T., I do not believe.” Mr. Greene has an undoubted right to his own opinion of the teachers, and in a proper manner to express that opinion. But it is very objectionable, it is wicked, it is cruelty to the memory of his daughter to pervert and fal­ sify her last words, written to a sister she tenderly loved, and ardently desired to direct aright, and make those words bear false testimony against persons who had never, so far as the evi­ dence in this case discloses, done an intentional wrong to the deceased young lady, uiio, in her last hours, spoke of them as “thepeople of God.” If Miss Greene viewed her teachers, especially Dr. Torsey, in the light her father would have the public view them, on what hypothesis can we account for the fact that she was will­ ing to leave a young sister in the charge of such wicked men and women, and not warn that sister of her danger ? Would she in that, her last letter, have used other than the plainest language of condemnation and warning? Could she die, and not write her father, and tell him how she had been wronged and persecuted by those people, and implore that father to hasten al once to the rescue of that young and “much loved sister,” before �89 she, too, should fall a victim to their cruelty and malice? She wrote no word of the kind, she gave no intimation of danger, she expressed no want of confidence in the motives and the in­ tegrity of her teachers. But, on the contrary, she did show that her confidence was strong and unabated, by urging her sister to go to these teachers as “ God’s peoplefor strength and protec­ tion. i I r i Z �The .Maine Wesleyan Seminary. Its Character, Administration and Success. This is an Institution of a grade intermediate between an academy and a college; its course of study embracing most of the studies in the usual college course.. It is a Methodist Insti­ tution, as its name imports; having been endowed and cared for mostly by persons connected with that denomination. The whole amount thus far received by this Institution from the State, not including the balance of timber on one-half town­ ship of land, is less than $12,000. The unsold timber above referred to is estimated by the late land agent to be worth from $2000 to $3000 ; while the donations by individuals, mostly Methodists, including recent subscriptions towards a new building,'amount, at least, to $80,000 1 The school has been conducted upon the broadest principles of Christian liberality. Other religious denominations are rep­ resented in the Board of Trustees, and in the Board of Instruc­ tion. Mr. Perley, the teacher of penmanship and book-keeping for the past twenty-three years, is a worthy member of the Baptist church. Most of the ladies employed as teachers of instrumental mu­ sic have not been Methodists,—having been employed, in sev­ eral instances, in preference to Methodist ladies who applied for the place, because their qualifications were considered superior. The students are treated with strict impartiality; all receiv­ ing equal privileges. Seldom in the history of the Institution, have any complaints of denominational favoritism been heard; and then, as the Trustees believe, without foundation. From its commencement the Seminary has been regarded with great popular' favor; and by general consent has been t �[T 91 considered one of the most useful institutions of learning in the country. Its number of students has been largely in excess of any other school in the State—some terms reaching to nearly three hundred. Its numerous alumni are scattered throughout the country; many of them occupying positions of distinguished usefulness; and, so far as we know, with but few exceptions, cherishing kind feelings towards their alma mater. In the year 1859, a college course for young ladies was estab­ lished, which has become a useful aud interesting feature of the school. In the year 1860, a large and elegant building was erected and furnished, at a cost of about forty thousand dollars. This building was designed principally as a Boarding House. In its appointments and management, the Trustees believe it to be unsurpassed by any other establishment of the kind in the country. The following' extract from an account of this Institution, published in the Maine Farmer, by Walter Wells, Esq., who delivered a course of normal lectures before the school in the fall of 1860, and was a boarder in the College Boarding House, is but one of many favorable notices of this establishment that might be given. “The buildings are ample in proportions, simple in style, compact in finish, elegant in appearance and perfectly adapted to the end for which they were built.” “The boarding arrangements are excellent ; the table neatly and tastefully laid, the food simple, substantial, abundant, well prepared and properly served.” “One half of the pupils in this school are religious persons: the atmosphere of the whole place breathes with religious influ­ ences. The like of it I have uever seen before. This condition is sedulously sustained; the culture of the heart goes hand in hand with the culture of the head. I hesitate not to say that not a single Institution in the land is or can be more thoroughly deserving of the patronage, the best wishes and the friendly and substantial oflices of every friend of education and relig­ ion.” The great success of this Institution has been mainly owing to its thorough instruction and discipline,—the jileasitiil relations �92 of the students with their teachers,—its strong moral and Christian influence,—and more recently to the admirable accommodations of the Boarding House. In these respects we believe the school has no superior. It is very seldom that complaints against the management of the school have reached the Trustees from any source. Cases of discipline requiring expulsion or other extreme measures, (which have but rarely occurred,) so far as we have been able to judge, have been managed with great prudence and lenity. In so large a school, offenses against order will occur, of a nature often difficult to correct. Should mistakes in adminis­ tration be sometimes committed, it should not be deemed a matter of surprise. In this respect, however, we challenge a comparison between the management of this Institution, and that of any other of similar grade in the country. t> ’ During the twenty-four years that Mr. Torsey has been at the head of the school, no serious outbreak of insubordination has occurred. By vigilance and skill on the part of the teachers—the grand secret of successful school discipline—mischief has usually been foreseen and prevented. Disorderly and vicious students have but little love for disci­ pline, nor for those whose duty it is to enforce it; and the exercise of discipline often rankles in the heart of the offender for years, and in most cases gives serious offense to parents. It would be strange if some of the seven thousand students who have been under the care of Mr. Torsey, should not carry with them ill-will and resentment; and strange if a person intent upon revenge, could not, by industrious search, gather up plen­ ty of anonymous censures, from disorderly and disaffected stu­ dents. If the Trustees of the Seminary believed Mr. Torsey and others concerned in the management of the school to be guilty of the wicked prejudice, neglect and cruelly charged against them by Mr. Greene, it would be their duty immediately to dismiss them from their office. But in their opinion his charges against them are wholly unfounded. They are fully convinced that the unfortunate young lady was treated with great forbearance and lenity, and that her sad fate was brought upon herself by her i �r 93 own act; and we think these views are in harmony with the general verdict of the public. The Boarding House for the last three years has been under the care of Orrin Daggett, Esq., Steward, and bis wife as Mat­ ron. Mr. Daggett was formerly sheriff of Franklin County, and is well known as a correct, thorough business man. So far as we can judge, the business of this establishment has been managed in a correct and satisfactory manner. We believe Mr. Daggett and wife to be persons of unques­ tionable integrity; aud that their statements in this case are entitled to the utmost confidence. Notwithstanding the persistent efforts of Mr. Greene and his confederates to damage the reputation of the school, it has con­ tinued to prosper beyond any former period of its history. Its friends are now contemplating the erection of a new and elegant building, to accommodate the increasing number of students; and they trust that this Institution will continue for ages to dispense its benefits to the youth of our State and country, and to offer a “safe and pleasant home” to all who may wish to enjoy its privileges. �1 • t 94 KO T E. ■ i u i Since page 69, etc., of this book went to press, we have re­ ceived a letter from Rev. S. S. Wyman, of Peru. Wishing to publish nothing but what is strictly true, we insert the follow­ ing. Under date of February 1st, 1868, a letter was addressed to Rev. S. S. Wyman, containing an extract from the circular on the above page, accompanied by the following : "Will you have the kindness to answer the following ques­ tions 1 1. Was there not, to your knowledge, such ‘a meeting of the citizens of the town of Peru heldand, if so, were you present ? 2. Did you or not communicate for publication, or issue in circular form, the document, the extracts from which I herewith send you ? Or, did you or not authorize any one to attach your name to such a document and publish it, or cause it to be published ? 3. Did you or not ever know or hear of such a meeting and document, until you saw it in print ? If so, please state the circumstances and facts in the case. Will you have the kindness to answer the above questions by return mail?” The above was directed to’Peru, Me. Receiving no reply, a similar letter, under date of February 13th or 14th, was ad­ dressed to him at "West Peru.” The following is the reply : "Peru, Feb. 20th, 1868. Dear Sir: I received your letter requesting me to answer the questions concerning the meeting in Peru. I was consulted about the propriety of such a committee, and consented to be one. I did not know when the meeting was. Yours, in haste, S. S. Wyman.” �I 95 Will the reader carefully compare the above with Capt. Holmes’ letter, and also the circular ? We do not understand why -Mr. Wyman did not see fit to answer the questions proposed to him more fully, and also state when "he was consulted about the propriety of such a commit­ tee, and consented to be one.” We have learned that some'others, whose names are attached to that circular, were asked if they were willing to serve on such a committee; but they knew nothing of the "meeting” or circular until it appeared injprint. 4 �a I ft ERRATA.

Founded. The Maine Wesleyan Seminary, now entering upon its eighty-fourth year, was opened to students in February, 1824. Character of the School. The Maine Wesleyan Seminary is a school for both sexes. It aims to cultivate high scholarship and to develop high moral character. The close association and fellowship of teachers and students make the school a large family in which a kindly spirit directs a firm, loving discipline to further a manly self­ control and a true self-development. It is a religious school, but is not sectarian. Location. The school is located on Kent’s Hill, four miles from Read­ field Depot, its railroad station, fourteen miles from Augusta and sixty miles north of Portland. It is reached over the Lew­ iston and Skowhegan line of the Maine Central Railroad. Faculty. Its corps of fourteen teachers are specialists in their several departments and instructors of acknowledged skill and ability. Home. This school is a home. Its separate dormitories have light, airy, well-furnished, steam-heated rooms, modern bath and toilet rooms supplied with hot and cold water, and a large dining room where teachers and students eat together. 2 IBS �F D O < UJ I �'__________ __ ___ _ ■ An abundant supply of pure water, pure food much of which is produced on the large farm of the school, pure, bracing air, good drainage and regular hours for meals, work and sleep, all contribute to the remarkable healthfulness of the student body. Added to this the constant and wise supervision of the students by the teachers makes this school an ideal home. Furnishings. The students’ rooms are provided with necessary and com­ fortable furniture. Students will, however, provide their own sheets, pillow cases, towels, toilet soap, napkins and napkin rings, also a lamp. Carpets, pictures and other ornaments if desired are provided by the students. The Seminary. College Preparatory. Students are here prepared for any college, also for profes­ sional, scientific and technical schools. . Certificate. This is an approved school of the New England Entrance Certificate Board, and its certificates admit students to any col­ lege accepting students on certificates. Seminary. ■ ’ " Two high grade Seminary Courses are offered to those who desire to extend their studies beyond the high school, but do not intend to take a full college course. These courses offer studies which broaden the outlook on life and specially fit for intelligent citizenship. ■ Elementary. An Elementary Course is offered for students not prepared to commence a College Preparatory or Seminary Course, and yet would feel out of place in a grammar school. 4 �_ _____ .Art. A three years’ course in Art under a competent teacher is provided, which fits for teaching or lays the foundation of Art as a profession. Freehand Drawing is a part of each literary course. Business College. The well-equipped Business College occupies four large rooms in Bearce Hall. It offers a one and a two years’ Busi­ ness Course and a Shorthand and Typewriting Course. As good instruction and facilities for a practical business education are here provided as can be found elsewhere, at much less expense both for tuition and board. The quiet of the school’s location and its freedom from temptations and allure­ ments insure a much closer application to study than can be expected in a crowded center with its many inviting amusement attractions and temptations and consequent waste of money and time. Students in the Business College have all the privileges of the school, access to the library, the reading rooms, the literary societies; they can take studies in Art, Music or such literary branches as they may desire, and live in the school with its many advantages under the constant care of the teachers. Music. The school offers excellent musical advantages. The building housing the music department is the finest and best appointed to be found east of Boston. It was planned and built for this department. It is supplied with eleven new high grade pianos and one large concert grand. The musical directors have had many years’ experience as teachers, and are this summer studying at the Summer School of the Institute of Musical Art, New York City. The piano­ forte teacher is a recent graduate of the New England Conser­ vatory, and is a fine performer and an up-to-date instructor. Instruction is given in voice, harmony, pianoforte, violin, organ, cornet and other orchestral instruments. 5 X �Ii I The Woman’s College. The Woman’s College was chartered in i860, and confers the degrees of A. B. and A. M. in course upon its graduates. The College Courses are as broad as those of any college in Maine admitting women, and opportunity is furnished not pro­ vided in other Maine colleges to take Art and Music as studies in the course. The past effectiveness of the Woman’s College is attested by the successful work of the several hundred graduates now at work. Last year a College Literary Society was organized, and Campaspe, a play written by John Lyly, was successfully given commencement week. The colleges in Maine now admitting women limit the number they will accept. It is now fully determined to develop rapidly the Woman’s College, and so give the many young women in Maine who desire and need a college course the needed opportunity. Seventy-five young women can be accom­ modated in the Freshman class this fall, and efforts are being made to secure that number. The college is well equipped with teachers, laboratories, library, gymnasium, has a physical director, a graduate of Posse Gymnasium, and needed appli­ ances for college work. Its thorough College Course is fur­ nished at small cost and under the most healthful surroundings. The expense a year for tuition, board, room rent, steam heat, lights and incidentals is about $200. r 'j Physical Training. s fee A healthy mind needs a healthy body. A healthy body necessitates systematic exercise that should be taken as far as possible in the open air. Ample opportunity for such exercise is here provided. The campus is large and beautiful. There are five tennis courts and an athletic field. 6 �s u m Ld (/) CD J �■ i I I ■ The Gymnasium. i A good gymnasium, well supplied with suitable apparatus, provides opportunity for indoor exercise. A competent physical director is provided for the boys in the winter, and a graduate of Posse Gymnasium will direct the physical exercises of the girls throughout the year. I I Laboratories. Large and well-equipped Biological, Chemical and Physical Laboratories make possible most efficient experimental and testing work in these branches and add greatly to the value of these studies. Buildings. The buildings are among the finest school buildings in New England. The grounds are extensive and beautiful. Sampson Hall, the dormitory and boarding house, is a substan­ tial brick building, with large, well-ventilated, steam-heated rooms, and contains the well-appointed dining room, modern bath and toilet rooms, and the ladies’ literary society halls. Bearce Hall is a fine brick structure which contains the recita­ tion rooms, chapel, museum, chemical and physical laborato­ ries, the reading room and the literary halls of the gentlemen. Ricker Hall is a modern building containing the gymnasium, art rooms, library and superb accommodations for the music department. Library and Reading Rooms. The large and growing library now has ten thousand volumes. The books were selected with a special view to the needs of students and are readily accessible for reading and reference. The reading rooms are well supplied with daily and weekly papers and the best of the magazines. Literary Societies. There are four literary societies, the Calliopean and Lit­ erati, for gentlemen, and the Adelphian and Eromathean, for ladies. Each society holds a private meeting on Friday even­ ing and one public meeting a term. Each society occupies an elegantly furnished hall of which it has exclusive possession. 8 I 4 �■ Q a: o m er o H D UJ U) s UJ a: m UJ x _ l_ r— 4« fa AJL I �No feature of student life has more important relation to the responsibility of after years than the drill in these society gatherings, whereby are acquired parliamentary skill, inde­ pendence of thought and readiness in expression. Superior .Advantages. i ] The superior advantages of such a school are seen in the above enumeration. The students are under the care of Chris­ tian teachers twenty-four hours a day for seven days in each week. Not only are they given brain training in the recitation room, but they are also taught good manners in the dining hall, a proper respect for each other’s rights and a proper regard for property. In the social life of the school they become acquainted with the usages of good society. In the literary societies, practice in debate, in recitation, in presiding over assemblies, in public work, all unite to bring out the possibili­ ties in youth that otherwise might not be discovered. Wise examiners of these phases of this school’s life have affirmed that these alone are worth more than the cost of the school to a student. Expenses. Table board is $3.00 a week. All students except self-boarders, those living with rela­ tives and those working their board will board in the Seminary boarding hall. No deduction in board will be made for absence the first or last week. Room Rent. Rooms in Sampson Hall are for each occupant from $3.00 to $7.50 a term. Steam Heat.

Louise Greene ■ An Alleged “Martyr to the Prejudice and Caprice of Man,” or “ The Crown Won, but Not Worn.” By George C. Wing, Jr. (Excerpt from Sprague’s Journal of Maine History Vol. 13, No. 1) ��THE LUGUBRIOUS TALE AND DOLEFUL DEATH OF M. LOUISE GREENE, AN ALLEGED “MARTYR TO THE PREJUDICE AND CAPRICE OF MAN,” OR “THE CROWN WON, BUT NOT WORN” On the westerly slope of Mount Gile, formerly more sweetly called'“White Oak Hill” in Auburn, Maine, stands a granite monument which bears the following inscriptions: jmOUISf QRIEME.1 ' dE.2 2 yrs.

Louise Greene died to a point one-half rod beyond said rock; Thence at a right angle in a northerly direction two rods; Thence at a right angle in an easterly direction to the road; Thence down said road two rods to the bounds first men­ tioned, containing about ten square rods, be the same more or less.” The old County Road mentioned in the description of the Beale to Greene deed is now no longer traveled, the woodland yet exists, the monument stands alone, unkept and a bit grue­ some in the forest. The rambler in the woods may stumble upon the site of the monument but its melancholy inscriptions will have no meaning to the casual visitor, beyond, the mere chiseled record of a tragedy of long ago. A reading of the 4 �inscriptions thereon may challenge a lover of the recondite to ascertain whether M. Louise Greene was “A Martyr to the Prejudice and Caprice of Man.” The story of M. Louise Greene involves the honor of a recognized institution of learning, the passionate love of a father for a daughter, his equally passionate hatred of a school and its head, and the lamentable fact that the daughter by herself admitted conduct and guilt? became amenable to the discipline of the school and its head, neither of which would put the stamp of approval on such conduct as M. Louise Greene admitted to be hers. The history of the death of M. Louise Greene is found in two pamphlets: (1) “The Crown Won but Not Worn” or “M. Louise Greene, a Student of Five Years at Kents Hill, Maine,” by Jonas Greene, Bos­ ton, 1867. “Libel Refuted and Reply to Greene’s Pam­ phlet, by the Trustees of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary, Kents Hill.” Lewiston Journal, 1868. The files of the Lewiston Journal show under date of May 29, 1866, a “local” as to a missing young woman. An edi­ torial under date of June 2, 1866, was entitled “Missing, a Sad Case.” June 9, 1866, appeared a “local” as to the pur­ chase of poison by the missing woman* June 10, 1866, ap­ peared a “local” on a general search. June 11, 1866, appeared a “local” that nothing had been discovered as a result of the search. June 13, 1866, appeared a card of thanks to citizens for assistance in the search. Such was the hue and cry to find M. Louise Greene. Her body was found at the spot where the monument was after­ ward erected, October 13, 1866, and she is buried in East Peru Cemetery and her headstone bears the inscription “A Martyr to the Prejudice and Caprice of Man,” “In Our Father’s House the Wicked Cease from Troubling and the Weary are at Rest.” In the Greene pamphlet, “The Crown Won, but Not Worn,” Jonas Greene states briefly the history of the tragedy. “The reading portion of the community, generally, in Maine, and thousands out of this State, have heard of the sad tragedy which tran­ spired at Auburn, near Lewiston, not long since: how M. Louise Greene, a student at the Female College at Kents Hill, Me., left that institution in a wretched state of mind, on the 23rd day of May, 18G6, travelled to Lewiston, was seen weeping in Auburn, purchased poison, and mys­ teriously disappeared; how her father, for many weary and anxious 5 �days and weeks, searched in and around Lewiston, for his lost child; how he employed detectives, circulated handbills and photographs all over the State; while the kind and sympathizing people of Lewiston, Auburn, Lisbon and other places generously assisted him in many ways, and by hundreds, in searching the wood, the canals, and river to no purpose; and how her bleached remains were accidentally discovered in a lonely spot in the forest, in Auburn, in October- following.” What was the cause of the wretched state of mind of M. Louise Greene, May 23, 1866? It seems that M. Louise Greene entered the Maine Wes­ leyan Seminary at Kents Hill in March 1861. After a pre­ paratory course of two years she entered the Female College Department of that institution and continued a student until May 23, 1866. During the latter part of her course she had been the source of annoyance to the faculty of the institution in that she had frequently broken the rule about leaving “the Hill” without permission. Assuming M. Louise Greene was a woman of proud and high spirit, there is nothing to criticise overmuch on such conduct except that she did not conform to the rules of the institution in which she was a student. In April 1865 Dr. H. ''?? Torsey, the head of the school, had an interview with her in which he remonstrated with her about her attitude towards the rules of the school and its discipline. So matters passed until May 1866. Miss Greene left the school a Wednesday, May 23, 1866. Monday evening previous Dr. Torsey was informed that M. Louise Greene had been taking articles of clothing not belonging to her and the Doctor also learned that Miss Greene had taken some money. On the Wednesday Miss Greene left the school Dr. Torsey had an interview with her. She spoke of having taken clothing before, and said some­ thing about intending to return it at the close of the term. As to the money she said, “a devil tempted me to take it.” As a result of the interview Miss Greene said she would leave the school. She was twenty-two years of age. It was sug­ gested by Miss Greene that she would go to her uncle’s home in Lewiston and write her father to meet her there. Dr. Torsey urged her to go to her parents and she promised to go to them. Dr. Torsey suggested that she start soon after dinner. Learning that Miss Greene had made her departure in her everyday clothing and had gone to Lewiston instead of to her parents in Peru, Dr. Torsey sent a student with Miss Greene’s sister to the father at Peru and charged the sister to explain all. The preceptress of the school, Miss Frances S. Case, made 6 �:/ v' ■ . ' ' - 1 ■ ■’v\ '* - 1 L- .- • ■. <?■ r?i' L- Ki i -:■ ■ . MH ■■ '"-V 7 ■ • ■ ' ■ ' �an affidavit printed in the reply to the Greene pamphlet, in which she stated in an interview with Miss Greene at which a Mr. and Mrs. Daggett, the steward and stewardess of the institution, were present, that Miss Greene confessed she took $5 from a Miss Church’s room, that she had taken clothing which did not belong to her and that she intended to return the clothing at the end of the term. It also appeared from this affidavit that Miss Greene possessed a skeleton key. As to the skeleton key it appears from the Greene pamphlet that Miss Greene had possessed this key for about three years. That Miss Greene used the key is evident from the affidavit of Miss Emma C. Huntington printed in the trustees’ pam­ phlet, who says that while sitting locked in her room in the spring of 1865 a knock was heard at her door. She made no answer or movement. Immediately she heard a key put into the lock and someone turning the key. She arose, looked to see what was about to happen, saw the door open and Miss M. Louise Greene entered the room. “She said her key would fit one of the doors nearby and thought she would try it in mine.” The state of mind of this unfortunate woman then on the morning of Wednesday, May 23, 1866, was that she was charged by the authorities of the school with theft, that she confessed to the theft, that she had to meet her parents with this accusation, that she was of age, that she was to leave the school of her own accord and unhonored with its certifi­ cate of graduation. The case against M. Louise Greene con­ sists of three charges: (1) The possession of a skeleton key. As to this no great wrong can be ascribed. (2) The posses­ sion of clothing not hers, but this can be explained by a lax method of sorting clothing in the wash. (3) The theft of five dollars in money which Miss Greene confessed she took. The unfortunate woman wrote in her unhappy state, two letters, one to her sister and one to her classmates, and these letters are here printed.

M. “MY MUCH LOVED BUT DEEPLY WRONGED SISTER,—In leav­ ing you, as I have, I am sensible that there is in store for you morti­ fication and a share of my disgrace. “Dr. Torsey informed me this morning that I had better leave to-day; ‘not expulsion,’ he said, ‘we won’t call it that, but I advise you to go home.’ Practically, it amounts to the same thing, however. How I feel, God only knows; you never can; and my bitterest agony is for the dear ones at home, on whom must fall some share in this disgrace. 8 �Satan, or some evil spirit, must have led me into this. If I know my­ self, it was not the true, real Louise Greene, that did this. She was trying to live an honest, womanly life; or, if she was, indeed, drifting into disgrace, she never realized it. I can feel myself guilty of but one crime,—the taking of five dollars from Miss Church. No other was alleged against me, but the having of those unmarked articles of cloth­ ing; and, as I live, I had no intention of stealing them. For- every article I took, I had lost one in the wash, and put these on in their stead, expecting, before the term was done, to find my own. There was, in some sort, a necessity for this; for instance:—I came to college with three or four good, whole drawers,—two pairs of which were new ones, —and to-day, as I ride away, I have none. They were lost in the wash because unmarked. Was it so strange that I should put on others, also unmarked, in their stead? I tell you this, that you may know what I have done, and why I did it. That five dollars is a mystery to me. I went on an errand into Miss Church’s room; in her stand drawer laid a partly open porte-monnaie. What possessed me to take the money I do not know; but I took it out. The moment they asked me about it I confessed it. You know the skeleton key I have long had. That told against me; but, after all, I do not think they believed I open rooms with it, for the purpose of taking out things. I certainly never did. Now you know the whole story. It is probably travelling the Hill at this moment with a thousand exaggerations. God pity me! I never thought to come to this. Do not tell any one anything in this. It will be use­ less to try to stem the tide; bend beneath it, or it will break you down. Say nothing of excuse or palliation. In my heart I feel that you will not say aught of condemnation. It is a great deal to ask; perhaps you cannot do it now; but some time will you not try to forgive me? Live down all this. It is no real disgrace to you, though it may seem so. Make friends with the teachers, and with the people of God; they will strengthen you. Here I think was my fault; I tried to stand on the Hill alone, and I fell. “LOUISE.” The letter of Miss Greene to her class, printed in the Greene pamphlet, page 35, and not printed in the Trustees’ pamphlet. “At a Way Station, in the cars. “FOR THE CLASS—SCHOOLMATES—Once my own darlings (for I have no right to claim you now), I would rathei- die by slow torture than write you this letter. But I feel it a duty. Who wrongs himself, wrongs his friends. God forgive me! but I believe there is no soul on earth that stands nearer the gates of utter despair than mine does at this moment. I have always said, ‘A man who will steal will lie, will do anything bad.’ “Perhaps you will feel so; but, oh! do hear my story. Do not believe that through all these past years spent with you I have been acting a lie. As I live, I never touched a cent of money that was not my own, except this once. They tried to make me account for all the little things that have been missed through the term; but I could not. I have not had them. A skeleton key, given me years ago, I had, that looked as though I might have used it wrongfully. God knows my heart! I never did. One other thing I did,—I have been in the habit of doing. When I came to the college I brought many unmarked clothes, some of them new ones. When I missed things from the wash, I took others (un­ marked ones) from the table, and used them. They put this with that, 9 �I and altogether it did look bad. But if my own garments had not come by the close of the term, I should have left these where I got them,— in the wash. Now you know all. My distress is bitter enough; but the shame that I bring upon you,—upon the home friends,—I cannot express it. O my darlings! my darlings! I thought the parting would be hard enough two weeks from now; but this—I cannot even call you mine now! The greatest favor I can ask is, drop me from your remem­ brance and some time—you cannot do it now, I know; but do, won’t you some time forgive me? Forgive me; forget me; pray do! I ask it in the name of all who have sinned and suffered,—in the name of my own bitter anguish,-—in the name of all that I have been, or hoped to be TO you and WITH you. I do not know what tempted me. I went out to Miss Church’s room one evening, without any such thought in my heart. She was gone. Her table-drawer was open; her porte-monnaie, open too. Some satan, hidden in my heart, said, Take it; and before I could think, I stood again in 27. When it was done, I would fain have replaced it; but could not without discovery. The only thing I have to be glad of is, that I did not deny when asked. Everything that was asked me I told the truth about, as near as I could in my distracted state of mind. This storm has only been gathering since yesterday. I tried to read my Bible last night, but could not. I don’t believe I shall ever pray again, except to say, Father, forgive me. And He will not hear. How, then, can I expect your pardon! If I could have had an opportunity to retrieve the past at the Hill,—if this thing had not been made public property and common talk,—maybe there might have been a future for me; but now—I think maybe I am not exactly as I used to be while I write this; for my head whirls, and I cannot seem to think,—to say what I am trying to say. Did you love me any? Do you love me any now? It seems as though my heart must have some assurance of this, or it will burst; and yet I know it cannot be. I could not go to see you this morning; I did not dare; and yet I could have died for one friendly hand-grasp, and thought it happiness to die. Will some of you call Mary Chapman into your room and read her this? that is, if you think best. What I write here I put into your hands. I am not capable of saying what should be done with it. Decide for me. Act as you would have others do, if it were possible for you to be in this place. I can hear even now the thousand buzzing rumors flying over the Hill. 0 my God! what am I that I should have been left to do this thing? Dear girls, it may seem presumptuous in me now to ask a favor; but if you could only find it in your hearts to be kind to my sister,—my poor sister Ches.;—oh! if I could only prevent her from being punished for my sins, I would bear my own bitterness alone. “I do not know what will become of me. If I get home, do not do anything with this letter; if not, will you please send it to my mother before term closes? O mother! my mother! If it were your mother, girls, what should you say? what would you do? “Mr. Schwagerl said to me this morning, one sentence, ‘Remember your Saviour.’ I have been saying it over all the way here. I thank him for saying that always. Mary Chapman, you tell him so; but I don’t know. The Saviour is an iron door, I think, to me—shut, bolted.. I never realised before that my life was drifting into this downward current. I cannot think it was. I came to the top of a great precipice,, did I not? and because I had been trying to walk alone on Kent’s Hill,. I fell. Well if it had destroyed life with character; but it did not. “I keep writing and writing because I can’t say the last word; but I must. * I 10 ■ �“I have read this over, or tried to, and it is not what I would say. I cannot write more; I cannot write again. I cannot even ask you to write to me. What could you say? I don’t want you to. “My darlings! my darlings! this good-by is a thousand times more bitter than was the laying away of my dead. “Addies, Lydias, Sarahs, Mary and Abby,—how good your names look to me! You have all been good to me. “Good-by. “LOUISE.” Out of it all comes the bald truth, that M. Louise Greene was a self-confessed pilferer of money, that she was of age, that she left Kents Hill of her own accord, that she agreed to return to her parents, that she went to Lewiston, instead of to Peru where her parents lived. Immediately on learning of the departure of his daughter M. Louise Greene from the school at Kents Hill, Jonas Greene sought to find her. He became embroiled in a bitter contro­ versy with the institution and its head, Dr. H. P. Torsey. He charged Dr. Torsey with cruelty, with responsibility for the death of his daughter, with belittling her piety and refusing his help in the difficulties in which she found herself. In his pamphlet, “The Crown Won but Not Worn,” he sets forth in language at times scurrilous his version of the sad affair. This pamphlet is a statement of the life of M. Louise Greene and her accomplishments. It contains certificates of her character and her worth by her neighbors and friends. It argues the loss of clothing was a responsibility of the school. It describes the relations of M. Louise Greene as to the dis­ cipline of the school. It impugns the methods of those having in charge the school. It sets forth the last letters of his daughter. It quotes affidavits of her classmates as to her amiable qualities. It quotes her accomplishments in literary subjects. The pamphlet is replete with invective charging prejudice, misunderstanding and gross cruelty toward M. Louise Greene on the part of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and its officers and teachers. It is particularly bitter in its arraignment of Dr. Torsey, and closes with these words: . “In view of all that has transpired on the Hill, and the course Torsey has pursued towards Louise while under his care and since she died, his disposition shown to, and the treatment of her friends, I must say, I loathe and detest this miserable compound of intrigue and deception, and desire him to be kept out of my sight and mind if possible. I will not attempt to call him deserved names, as I can And no terms in the English language that will do him justice.” To this pamphlet the Maine Wesleyan Seminary made reply in the pamphlet “Libel Refuted: A Reply to Greene’s Pam11 �phlet.” This reply is a dignified statement of the connection of M. Louise Greene with Kents Hill. It bears resolutions of confidence on the part of the trustees in Dr. Torsey. It contains affidavits as to the treatment of Miss Greene in her last days at the school by the authorities. It shows conclu­ sively that Miss Greene left the school of her own accord, that pilfering was proved against her, that no prejudice or ill will was shown towards her. There are various affidavits which show Dr. Torsey was an impartial disciplinarian and an ex­ cellent teacher. It takes up each complaint of Mr. Greene and makes fair and candid answer to them. It bears two extracts from letters of Mrs. Greene to Dr. Torsey which show the temper of the Greene family. These extracts are printed on page 58 of the pamphlet and are here set forth: “Peru, Oct. 14, 1866. “Mr. Torsey—Sir: The victim of your revenge, persecution and tyranny was found dead in Auburn, yesterday, . . . “Our opinion of you is that you are a base scoundrel and a black­ hearted murderer, and we, every one of us, not only consider you so, but others look upon you in the same light. ... “LOUISE M. GREENE.” I “Peru, Me., May 23, 1867. “Mr. Torsey—Sir: One year ago to-day, Louise received her death­ blow from you, fleeing from your presence as from a tiger. . . . “While God spares your life and mine, as often as the anniversary of poor Louise’s death returns, I shall write to those who we honestly and firmly believe were the cause of her death. “We still think you are a base scoundrel and black-hearted murderer; we think you willfully and purposely neglected sending to us, so that the poor distracted creature might get beyond our reach. Nothing but the influence of a rich, powerful and corrupt denomination can save you and those connected with you, in this inhuman tragedy, from universal condemnation. . . . “LOUISE M. GREENE.” The inscription on the granite monument on an Auburn hillside states that M. Louise Greene was “A Martyr to the Prejudice and Caprice of Man.” The same sentiment is cut in the monument which marks her last resting place in Peru. More than half a century has passed since this controversy arose which blackened the memory of an unfortunate woman and injured the reputation of an institution of learning for youth. Time is a great healer. The controversy is all but forgot­ ten. The parties who participated therein are for the most part dead and the bitterness of the attack of Jonas Greene on the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and its trustees and its teachers is all but lost in the years, but the monument and 12 �the two pamphlets remain; the one with its assertions as to the prejudice and caprice of man, the other with its written records of the sad affair. A perusal of the pamphlets may lead one to think Miss Greene’s offenses might have been condoned and her face saved, but the fact stands forth that she admitted her guilt and the conclusion must obtain if she was the victim of the prejudice and caprice of man, that preju­ dice and caprice is best expressed in the passionate and vin­ dictive conduct of her father and can not be found in the officers and teachers of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary. If her father was the passionate, vindictive man his pamphlet shows him to be, M. Louise Greene knew she had to meet that condition when she went forth from Maine Wesleyan Semi­ nary in disgrace May 23, 1866, and fear of her father and consciousness of her guilt led her to commit the lamentable act of suicide rather than to face her parent. In that sense alone was she “A Martyr to the Prejudice and Caprice of Man.” The effort of Jonas Greene to injure and defame the reputation of a school and its head by cutting in enduring granite an assertion of the martyrdom of his daughter finds no justification other than in his own prejudiced and capri­ cious spirit, which warped his judgment and embittered his heart.

William Wood, Kents Hill Class of 1892 By Charlotte Killam, Class of 1963 The Rev. William Wood was my great-uncle. He died before I was born but this information comes from my mother, (Mary Wood Killam, KH Class of 1936) and family documents. William Wood was born in Ryegate, Kent County, England in the fall of 1863. He was the second oldest of what would eventually be a total of 9 siblings. His parents, John and Mary Couchman Wood had lived in various small hamlets in Kent County when John's work as a shepherd and husbandman compelled him to find new work. Lured by the promise of land he could own, he came to Canada in 1871 to investigate farming property. He went back to England in 1872 and prepared to take the family to this new land they would call home. George (1861), William (1863), Fred (1865), Horace (1867), Lucy (1869) and twins Thomas and Edith (1872) comprised the family at the time. Sadly, the young Thomas died just as the family as about to embark on their journey and his sister Edith died just after they reached Ontario. Joining them was Mary's mother, Elizabeth Couchman, or "Grandma Couchman" as she is referred to in existing records. My mother recalls her father, Horace, remembering chasing lambs in Kent and being awed by the White Cliffs of Dover. The journey by ship in the fall of 1873 lasted more than five weeks. The family landed in a tiny town near Toronto that fall and stayed there for the first six years. John worked on various farms in that area and about 1880 he was able to buy land about 30 miles west of Toronto in a place called Luther, near the town of Grand Valley. �nd harvest crops, and split There the family worked hard to clear fields, plant a years on the rails for fences. Two more children were born during t ese farm; Charles in 1874 and John Wesley In 1876. The boys worked long their father on the farm and there are no educational recor s them going beyond Grade 6. The family had converted from Church of England to Wesleyan Methodis leaving England. The Wood family was instrumental in building a Wes ey Chapel in Luther and Rev. William Wood prided himself that he had preache there several times. Eventually the children grew and chose occupations. George became a celebrated apiarist in Grand Valley; Fred and Charles stayed in the farming business in Manitoba and Ontario; Lucy married John Henry Pearce and in the 1890's became some of the first settlers in Regina, Saskatchawan. It is the story of the three brothers who came to the States, William, Horace and John Wesley, that is of most interest to me. Before they left England, the Woods were good friends with a family by the name of A. W. Shaw. The Shaws left England about the same time as did the Woods and chose to settle in Lisbon, Maine. Mr. Shaw opened a cobblers business that was quite successful and eventually provided more work than he could handle by himself. According to family anecdotes, he wrote to John Wood in Ontario and asked if there was a son who would be willing to come to the States and work for him. George declined the offer but William snapped it up. He HATED farm work and apparently determined that anything would be an improvement. So he came to Lisbon, Maine sometime in the early 1880's. But, alas, he found that he equally detested the cobbler business! My mother, Mary Wood Killam, said "So he decided that being a minister would be much easier and started on the road to becoming a Methodist preacher." He had work in Vassalboro and Cornish ME before coming to Kents Hill in the Class of 1892. We have no records of how many years he was a student or how he compensated for the lack of previous education. But when he graduated he had his religious degree from Maine /' , I �___________ Wesleyan Seminary and Female College (aka Kents Hill). His obituary states that he attended Boston University but there are no family records indicating that. Again needing help in the shop, Mr. Shaw wrote to John Wood and asked if he had another son who would be willing to undertake the same kind of employment. Fred, the next in line, declined and my grandfather, Horace, set out for the States. He worked in the shop for several years before marrying and moving to Readfield, ME to take up farming. By 1890 John Wood had died and Mary Couchman Wood did not have the means to adequately support the two boys still at home, Charles and John Wesley. So when Mr. Shaw offered to take another boy on as an apprentice, John Wesley was sent to Maine in the care of the two brothers who were already here and the Shaw family. John Wesley "took to the shoe business like a duck to water"' (family quote!) and when, a few years later, Mr. Shaw died, he left him the business. John Wesley ran that business for a few years and eventually entered into a partnership in Auburn, ME with a Guy Smith to manufacture shoes for children. The company was very successful and John Wesley became quite wealthy. The family always maintained that Rev. William Wood was "wild with jealousy and regretted that he had passed up the best chance of his life"! Rev. Wood married Helena Sterling Snellgrove of Berlin, NH in 1895. They had one child, Paul, born in 1901, who died the same day he was born. As is the custom with the Methodist Church, clergy are frequently moved. Rev. Wood served in many pastorates in Maine and New Hampshire; Colebrook, NH in 1893, Boothbay Harbor in 1899, Berlin, NY 1900-02, Bridgton, ME 1906, Cape Porpoise, ME 1908-10, Kents Hill, ME 1910-15, Madison, ME 1918, Kennebunk, ME 1922-26, Bath, ME 1926-28, Wilton, ME 1928-30. He retired to Bath, ME where he served that church for two years. Rev. Wood was known as "The Poet of Maine Methodism" and his poems appeared frequently in Maine and Boston newspapers. He published one volume of verse, "Kennebunk and Vicinity in Poetry and Pictures", in 1927. �Itimes The most memorable was in He went back to his childhood home several times. Qod Ki||am/ he, 1936 when, as a graduation present for my mother, a week trjp tQ brother John Wesley Wood and wife Eula, and my mot er place" she Ontario. My mother said that although she enjoyed seeing home to see was much more interested in the stop that they made on the way the Dionne Quintuplets who had been born the previous year. It was while he was serving as pastor at Kents Hill that he introduced his brother Horace to my grandmother, Bertha Symmes, of Billerica, MA. Rev. Wood performed their wedding in the Kents Hill parsonage on November 9,1911. My mother graduated from Kents Hill in 1936. My father, Robert Killam, had lived in Readfield but his family had moved to Danvers, MA by the time he started high school. My parents were married in 1940 and lived in Readfield for the next 30 years. I graduated from Kents Hill in 1963. Rev. Wood died in Bath Maine, in 1937 and is buried in Berlin, NH. The Kents Hill Hymn has always been special to me I I am giving the Kents Hill archives two notebooks of unpublished poems and a notebook of poems published in various newspapers, plates that were owned by Rev. Wood, his pocket watch that was a gift from Dr. Torsey, a pen knife that he always carried and a spoon owned by his wife Lena. �SK lj,i[l6m hJc(,l sn kiiii t "in mn LS—□UL_J .I— ^E~3!ZZj _JOC~3' ‘I 1?^1A :rrxzaq I*V1 »iK!

"When I took over in thirty-three Anation* s fate was mine," said he. "I promised this and I promised that, And I calmed them down with a fireside chat. I spent their money on fishing trips And fished from the decks of their battleships. I gave them jobs on the W.P.A. Then raised their taxes and took it away. I raised their wages and closed their shops. I killed their pigs and burned their crops. . I double-crossed both old and young And still the fools my praises sung. I brought back beer, and what do you thinfe I taxed it so high they couldn’t drink. I furnished money with government loans, When they missed a payment I took their homes. If I wanted to punish the folks, you know I’d put my wife on the radio. I paid them to let their farms lie still And—imported-£oods±u£fs jfrom Brazil. I curtained crops, when I felt real mean, I shipped in wheat from the Argentine. When they’d start to wori*y stew and fret, I’d get them to chanting the alphabet. With the A.A.A. and the N.L. B. The p.W.A. and the C.C.C. With these units I’d get their goats And still I’d cram it down their throats. My workers worked with the speed of snails While the tax— payers chewed their fingernails. When the organizers needed dough I closed up their plants with the C.I.O. I ruined their jobs and I ruined their health I put the screws on the rich man’s wealth. And some, who couldn’t stand the gaff, Would come to me, and how I’d laugh. Whem they chased me up on certain things, I’d pack and leave for old Warm Spring. I ruined all they had and them I placed the blame on nine old men." Now Franklin talked both long and loud As the devil listened with his head bowed. At last he said, "Let’s make it clear, You’ll have to move, you can’t stay here. For once you mingled with this mob, I’d have to hunt another job." lcqn ! 1 �P5V sawd » Yests “ <3JSents &Mymn Tune: “Matema” The fathers name and viewed this land, These hills and valleys fain Its lakes, like precious gems, adorn The landscape rich and rare: Kents Hill, Kents Hill, the beautiful, Long may this vision stay, Of hills and dales and fertile fields To cheer us on our way.

You are, therefore, a select group who, when added to our distinctive list of alumni, will long be remembered as the Sesquicentennial Class. As great as this honor is, there are more basic reasons to rec­ ognize your individual and collective talents. During the years of your attendance at Kents Hill School, you have lived through four of the more ex­ plosive years in the history of our nature. Your coun­ try was tom by the emotionally distrustful armed con­ flict in Southeast Asia; your immediate predecessors in institutions of higher education initiated confronta­ tions which shook the very foundations of even the most formidable bastions of traditional academicia; you witnessed rapidly rising inflation, recessions, changing moral codes, Watergate, extraordinary space travel and many other events and philosophical dif­ ferences. Even the energy crisis crashed down at a time when you believed things were finally on the way to an improved society. Throughout this extraordinary period, you have re­ mained loyal to basic concepts of decency and com­ munity pride. Your desire for independence has taken you to the edges of temptations but you responded fa­ vorably and used the lessons to strengthen your personality. It has been a great privilege to be associated with the Class of 1974. I shall expect of you more than you presently expect of yourselves. I know you to be capable and I am confident your abilities will stand you well in the future. Best wishes and success to each.

All students are required to take two years of a fairly structured skills-oriented curriculum that provides initial acquaintance with a wide variety of the major liter- Mr. Reilly Department Chairman English ary genres. In the two-year elec­ tive program that follows, there is considerable effort to provide instruction and to encourage learning in a wide variety of subjects that have been selected by a joint student-faculty committee whose concerns include student interests as well as faculty abilities and knowledge of student needs. Throughout the four-year course of instruction, primary emphasis is placed on encouraging each student to pro- gress as far as is possible in the improvement of all communication skills as well as gaining an ever increasing knowledge of a broad spectrum of the field of literature and ideas. AN OVERVIEW: KENTS HILL SCHOOL READING PROGRAM The Reading Program at Kents Hill School provides reading instruction at two levels: the first is potentially school-wide and includes all students who are motivated to take instruction which is aimed at improving their read­ ing comprehension skills at whatever level of proficiency they are at; the second is essentially an individual, cor- rective program specifically constructed to assist students critically deficient in reading skills in becoming more proficient in the basic reading areas of competency. 13 �MATH ' ■ •A? WllJB M i Mr. Martin t 1 Mr. Hansen Pl [g-ik L'fl I Miss Kelly Mr. Waller .1 » �"Mathematics" is a "group" experience that can be enjoyed by a "number" of students, including those who "commute", at Kents Hill. The student "associates" closely with a small "set" of the faculty in arriving at "solutions" to his "problems." The "principal" reason for the increased interest in mathema- tics may be the "rate" of increase of "income" in the "field." The department hopes that "continuous" study of mathematics will "add" to the students skills without "subtracting" from his free time so that new "limits" can be reached. t i I / 5 I A ■ ' Mr. Waller Department Chairman Math �SCIENCE 1 Mr. Meekins Mr. Crane Mr. Minton �The Science Department at Kents Hill School has the philosophy that the principles of science are best learned through student preformed experiments, not by the memorization of large quantities of material. The philosophy is implemented by having all classes in the laboratory and by reserving four of the seven weekly meetings for experimental work by students. The Science Department requires that a student have taken at least three of the following courses. Intro­ ductory Physical Science for all freshmen; Biology, either the traditional or the biochemical version; Chemistry; Physics; Advanced Placement Chemistry; and Independent Study. Mr. Pollock Department Chairman Science �HISTORY a LW W( \ <11 B Miss Stranges 1 Mr. Westlake I I i i A J I ! i 18 Mr. Ellis �Mr. Kilgore Department Chairman History The Social Science Department at Kents Hill with its five instructors and extensive use of the audio visual equipment, including closed circuit television and extensive field trips, comprise one of the most dynamic and meaningful academic departments in the East. With relatively small classes held in­ formally thus permitting the exchange of ideas opposed to factual data, students are offered a better understanding of tire inter­ actions of past history and the events that we are a part of now. Frequent use of debates, field trips to the United Nations, extensive involvement in the Maine State Legislature and nearby historical sites are all a part of the program. All classrooms in the department are open to visitation by anybody at any time. �M r s. n d e • Li — - I s c h a a f f * "One picture is worth a thousand words." �ART Kents Hill offers the maximum number of art classes among pri­ vate schools in the state, with two full time instructors. Because we realize that art develops self-confidence, emotional release, commu­ nication, individuality, use of leisure hours, observation, sensitivity, creativity, appreciation, open-mindedness, flexibility, and divergent thinking; our program is based on a permissive attitude toward thought and feelings expressed in art work, which opens up the av­ enue of original thought. To accomplish these goals, Kents Hill offers the following se­ quence in curriculum planning: Studio Art, Painting, Silk Screening, Art History, Sculpture, Ceramics, Advanced Pottery, Found Mate­ rials, Silver, Macrame, Wall Hangings, Plastics, and Metals. In addition to these classes, Kents Hill offers an informal work­ ing activity period during which any student may feel free to work in any of the above areas as well as special projects. f * ■ ’ �r j ! LANGUAGE i I* FTP T7 y ,r pF Mr. Saunders i ft Mr. Reutershan J �Our Foreign Language Department offers students a choice of French, German, or Spanish—and some take more than one! While many are content to terminate their studies after two years, a better-than-average number go on to third and fourth levels. A language laboratory provides an oppor- tunity to individualize instruction at the beginning levels, for in it students hear--and learn to res­ pond to --the voices of native speakers of the language they study, at the same time as they are practicing the mechanics of speaking. For those who do venture into the more advanced courses, a whole new world of literature is their reward. But the implications of this study go far beyond the classroom. The peoples of the world no longer live in isolation, and the person who never has the chance to use his foreign language is becoming the exception, rather than the rule. The job market in all fields in crying for personnel trained in a second language. We're doing our part.

How difficult it is to eulogize Wendy when we have a sinking feeling when we think of her. Usually, after a time, the thought of your dead leaves you with a warm feeling, as their virtues stand out and their failings recede to unimportance. Wendy's life ended so abruptly, that we have not had sufficient time to pass through the shock and come to the warm-feeling point. We will remember Wendy for some time to come, as she has achieved true immortality by living on in our hearts. We remember Wendy for her bright cheerfulness and smile, for she was happy at Kents Hill. She was a very open person, ready to share her joys and sorrows with you. She was excited about life and its possibilities, and was straight-forward enough to admitthatlife was exciting to her. She found excitement not in grandiose things, but rather in the normal things that fail to move those who have lost their simplicity, such as: the first snow fall, a trip to the coast, or a game of Monopoly.

Read it carefully for it pro­ vides the framework for all school activity. All that a school is and what is expected of its students can certainly not be placed in a directory. Ours is a democratic society that demands a great deal of the individual. Your school, much like your society, is what you make it. We encourage individual thought and initiative, but feel you must learn to play an active and re­ sponsible role in the community. You will work, think and play together — this is simply an outline of campus life which requires your par­ ticipation to make it purposeful and meaning­ ful. Bring to it your spirit, your thoughts and your heart and its continued success is assured. Robert A. Chumbook, Headmaster Kents Hill School LIFE AT KENTS HILL Welcome to Kents Hill! May both you and the school be better for your having been here. As a student at Kents Hill, you become a member of a large group of people who have shared the experience of life at the school. They have made and lived by its traditions, and those traditions have been a molding in­ fluence in their lives. Chartered in 1824, Kents Hill has made her way known through the lives of many genera­ tions of her sons and daughters. As one of the 6 �first coeducational schools in the country, Kents Hill admitted girls in 1824, and in 1860 established the first college course in the coun­ try to grant degrees to women. Experience has justified the school’s belief in coeducation as the most natural preparation for normal, hap­ py adult living. Every possible effort has been made to pro­ vide an excellent physical plant, a challenging class program, and encouraging guidance for the student at Kents Hill. It is the student’s privilege to take advantage of all the school offers. Many an alumnus looks back at his days at Kents Hill as the happiest of his life. Whether your time spent here will be as happy and pro­ ductive as possible will depend greatly on the associations you form with other students, with the faculty, with all the people with whom you live and work and play at Kents Hill. In order that those associations may be estab­ lished as quickly and lastingly as possible, this handbook is created. A careful study of it will indicate what the school offers the student and what the student’s obligations are in return. A thorough familiarity with the traditions and regulations is expected of every student, and he is held responsible for carrying them out in good faith. 7 �SOME KENTS HILL TRADITIONS The keynote at Kents Hill is one of courtesy and consideration for each other at all times. Students are en­ couraged to attend all athletic con­ tests, plays, enter­ tainments, and so­ cial occasions unless regular school appoint­ ments prevent. Happy Birthday! On each student’s birthday he is serenaded by the entire dining hall and is entertained with his corridor members at a birthday party at the Headmaster’s home. Each athletic season ends with a sports ban­ quet when awards are made by the coaches. Rousing rallies before games get teams and student body in a winning mood. The tower bell is rung with enthusiasm by members of a winning team. Homecoming Day is an annual fall event when the welcome mat is out for the alumni, parents and friends. Sporting events, a buffet luncheon at the dorm and an evening enter­ tainment round out a full day for our guests. 8 �During each school season the Headmaster may declare a surprise school holiday at chapel time. A cook-out is usually enjoyed at the Outing Club cabin on Lovejoy Pond. In fine spring and fall weather, Saturday noon lunch and Sunday supper are enjoyed about the fireplace at the picnic ground on the back of the campus. A program of Christmas music by the school choir features the Christmas Vesper Service which is held at the village church. During the Christmas season and on Sunday music from the Bearce Hall tower music sys­ tem is enjoyed by the school and community. Formal dances held during the year are the Christmas Ball, the Snow Ball at which the Winter* Carnival King and Queen reign, and the Commencement Ball. Each spring certain senior privileges are granted to the outgoing class. A tradition of hospitality is fostered at Kents Hill. Each person on campus considers himself a host, friendly and helpful to visitors. 9 �THE PHYSICAL PLANT I I I I The campus buildings include Bearce Hall, which houses classrooms and laboratories, the school offices, bookstore; Sampson Hall, which includes the girls’ and boys’ dormitories and dining room; Wesleyan Hall, the younger boys’ dormitory, erected in 1960; new girls’ dormitory, erected in 1964; Ricker Hall, which houses the library, theater, crafts room, study hall, music studio, class rooms, the historical room and the alumni office; the Newton Gym­ nasium, used for boys’ and girls’ athletics and as an auditorium; Jollity Manse is used for in­ firmary, faculty and staff apartments; Chase Hall, which includes faculty apartments; Farwell Field House, completed in 1959, which provides a ski room and facilities for ice hockey, soccer, track and tennis; Blethen Hall, the residence of the headmaster; 1821 House, old original school building, now a faculty residence; girls’ field house, completed in 1963, which provides a ski room and facilities for all girls’ athletics.

If he is not 14 �going to his home, he must also have permission from the host or hostess of the home where he plans to visit. DORMITORY REGULATIONS The purpose of dormitory regulations is to maintain the comfort, safety, and efficiency of the occupants. Cooperation in carrying out all of them is essential to the well-being of the individual and of the whole group. Complete quiet is in effect during study pe­ riods, quiet hours, and from lights out at night until the rising bell in the morning. Students are to remain in their own rooms all night un­ less they have permission to sleep elsewhere. A warning bell is rung before meals, before study hours, activity period, and before lights out.

See that mops and brooms are cleaned and hung where they belong, and assume re­ sponsibility for the area assigned you for the entire day. Books should be taken at chapel time to the next classroom. They are not to be left on the stairs, in any corridors, on the front steps, or bn the grounds at any time. 16 �DORMITORY FIRE DRILL REGULATIONS The Dean of Boys and the Dean of Girls will act as Chiefs of their groups, as­ sisted by the other floor teachers who will take charge of their corridors.

If their effort honor roll rating or study habits are unsatisfactory, attendance in a supervised study hall is required. 18 �During study hours in the dormitory abso­ lute quiet is maintained, and studying is the only activity per­ mitted. All occu­ pants are asked to wear soft - soled slippers and avoid movement and noise in the rooms and corridors. TO Appointments for conferences with teachers during study hours should be made before the beginning of the period. o During quiet hours on Friday evening students may write letters, listen to the radio or play records quietly, and have other students visit with faculty permission. Students stay in their rooms at this time un­ less they have permission to leave. Study is optional. During morning class hours and activities period no radios or record players are to be used. Honor Roll privileges do not include the freedom of the dormitory, Students should study in their own rooms. 19 �DINING ROOM SERVICE Meals are served in the dining room as indi­ cated in the schedule. Tables usually comprise two faculty members and six boys and girls. Students are assigned regular seats, which they should use at all meals except Saturday breakfast, Sunday breakfast and Sunday supper. Seating plans change every two weeks, and are posted in advance. Students serve as waiters in the dining room according to a rotating schedule by which every student takes his turn. Waiters change each week. The new Waiters’ List is posted in advance. Student waiters are responsible for the tables to which they are assigned and are required to secure a substitute and report in advance any anticipated absences from their duty. A faculty manager and two student headwaiters are in charge of the dining room. Promptness at meals is obligatory. Grace is said before each meal, and everyone remains standing at his table until this prayer has been offered. 20 �Good table manners and proper conduct in the dining room are required.

Ask the teacher to be excused from class. 2. Go to the office for a slip to take to the nurse. 3. Go to the infirmary. Give the slip to the nurse who will note on it the time of arrival and departure from the infir­ mary. If the student is not to return to class, any special instructions should be noted on the slip. 4. When released by the nurse, return the slip to the office and obtain a written permission to return to class. Excuses from gym must be written and se­ cured not later than 1:45 P. M. from either the Headmaster or the nurse and from no one else. They should be given to the coach before practice time. Students who have excuses from gym or class are expected to notify the teacher on duty and stay in their own rooms, unless ad­ mitted to the infirmary. The school nurse must sign all off-campus permissions for students to keep medical ap­ pointments. Procedure otherwise is the same as for other occasions of leaving the campus. SMOKING REGULATIONS Because of the danger of fire, no smoking is allowed in the students’ rooms. Boys use the smoker on the first floor and the outside smok22 �er at the back of Sampson Hall. The girls’ smoker is on the fifth floor of the dormitory. There is no smoking at any other place on the campus or at the store or Post Office. Smoking is not permitted in school cars or on buses chartered for school use, on the street, in pub­ lic places such as hotel lobbies, or in any place where the student represents the school. Stu­ dents who do not have smoking permission slips signed by their parents and filed in the office should stay away from the smoker at all times. Smoking permission is available only to students above the sophomore class. Time schedules are posted in the smoker. Students who have permission to smoke at school are allowed to smoke at the Torsey View House. Smoking by guests in student rooms is pro­ hibited. TELEPHONING Telephoning may be done at any time outside of study hours until warning bell at night. Calls are not to be received during study hours, and friends should be so notified. Telephoning by students between the dorms is not per­ mitted as it ties up the lines needed for outside calls. USE OF RADIOS AND PHONOGRAPHS Radios and phonographs are not to be oper­ ated during study hours, class hours, activity period, nor at any time loudly enough to be heard outside the room where located. Out of courtesy, they should be turned down promptly when a faculty member enters the room. 23 �CAR REGULATIONS No dormitory student is to keep a car at school or near school for his use. No dormitory student is to ride or sit in any car on or off the campus without permission from the Headmaster or Dean. No day student may take a dormitory stu­ dent to sit or ride in his car at any time. Day students who drive to school are to take their cars directly to the designated area and leave them there until they are ready to leave the campus by the same route. Unnecessary driving about the campus is forbidden. Return to the parked car for possessions may be made, but sitting in it or moving it before departure time is prohibited. Cars are not to be brought onto the campus during the day or evening except for school appointments. Speed on the campus should not exceed 15 miles per hour and the utmost driving caution should be used. Violation of any rule will result in loss of permission to use a car for transportation to and from school. SUN BATHING Sun bathing is permitted for girls behind Bearce Hall and for boys behind the gym. Sun bathing apparel is not to be worn else­ where on or off campus. 24 �PUBLIC AND SOCIAL OCCASIONS Attendance at church on Sunday is compul­ sory for all students. Roman Catholic students are transported to services in Winthrop on Sunday only; all others attend services at school. Students are requested to be in their places five minutes in advance of the opening of the service, and to maintain quiet and respectful decorum at all times. Every student is required to attend Sunday Vesper Services held at the school. Lectures and mu­ sical programs are presented at intervals throughout the school year. The attendance of all students is re­ quired, and their quiet, dignified, and interested behavior is requested throughout the program. All special speakers and entertainers at Kents Hill are greeted at the close of their introduc­ tion by the applause of the student body stand­ ing. Various formal and informal dances, teas, and other social occasions are sponsored by school organizations. All students are urged to participate in the enjoyment of these social 25 �events. At evening affairs, students remain until closing time, unless they obtain special permission to return to the dormitory from faculty members in charge. No drinking of alcoholic beverages is per­ mitted at any time on campus, or from the time a student leaves school until he returns home, or from the time he leaves home until he arrives at school. Gum chewing in class or at social occasions is not permitted. COMMENCEMENT At Commencement time all students are ex­ pected to remain until the close of graduation exercises and be checked out of the dormitory after graduation. Each student who is not a senior is given a definite assignment over the week end. HOW TO STUDY Take an interest in your work because it is your work. Consider that all instruc­ tion that goes on in class is your business and should receive your full attention. 2. Pay attention to your instructor’s re­ marks. They are to explain or supple­ ment material in the course. Take notes and keep them, both on what the teacher says, and on approved remarks of the students. 3. Take part in the discussion, not only orally, but silently. That is, formulate an answer to every question asked, whether 26 �you are called on or not, and note how near you came to a correct and complete answer in terms of the discussion. ___ If there is some­ thing to add, take the trouble to volun­ teer your informa­ tion or idea. If you Ol disagree or misunderstand, ask courteously for explanation or proof. 4. Take down all assignments exactly, keep­ ing all those for a given course together in a notebook so they will be available for review. Keep all written material. 5. Prepare homework as assigned. Pass it in on time. Be thorough, be businesslike, study with method, make your effort the best. Outlining, summarizing, marking important passages in your text all help you to master material thoroughly and review it readily. 6. If you have missed an assignment be­ cause of absence, on the day of your re­ turn inquire of your teacher the earliest time when it may be made up. 7. Do extra work besides your assignment, either to help you understand the funda­ mentals of the subject or to broaden your acquaintance with it. Make use of the library. 27 �8. 9. 10. Ask extra help of your instructor, or dis­ cuss points of interest about which you have a question to ask or a contribution to make. Review the previous work before going on with the advanced assignment. Find time to put first things first. There are frequently occasions when other in­ terests should be sacrificed for extra study. CLASS ATTENDANCE Attendance at all classes is compulsory. Late students should obtain a class admission slip from the office. Grades should be obtained from the office only during study periods by permission of the study hall teacher. PERMISSION TO ENTER CLASS AFTER ABSENCE An absence excuse and make-up slip should be obtained from the office and taken to the at­ tendance officer to be signed. On re-entering class the slip should be taken to each subject teacher to be signed and then returned to the office. CHAPEL Attendance at chapel each school day at 10:06 A.M. is compulsory. The type of pro­ gram varies. Prompt attendance and quiet, dignified behavior are requested at chapel exercises. 28 �LIBRARY The library is open on school days gtu_ to 12:36 P.M.; and from 1:45 to 2:45 P. • dents should go to the library at t e s ai the period and remain until the end. A peimi sion slip for use of the library during c ass hours should be obtained from subject teacheis and taken to the study hall teacher who signs it. The slip is then taken to the library by the student and given to the librarian. Students an the Effort Honor Roll, or on the Scholastic Honor Roll may go to the library during free periods without permission. Day students with honor roll privileges should use the study hall or library during the free periods. 1:45-2:45 Use of the library for the full hour is permitted to all students. They should check out of the dormitory, go to the library at the beginning of the period, and remain until the end. The library is also open evenings through the week from 7:00-9:30; on Saturday morning during the 8:30-9:30 study hour; and on Sunday afternoon between 2:00 and 4:00 without special permission required. BOOKSTORE REGULATIONS The bookstore opens each morning before classes start. Books, writing implements, school paper, athletic equipment, toilet articles and miscellaneous objects are for sale at the store. Snacks are sold at chapel break. Bills on the 29 I- i II’ �bookstore accounts are sent home the first of October, January, April and May. No charges are accepted after May 1st. SCHOOL BANK For the convenience of students the school offers banking facilities. It is highly recom­ mended that the school bank be used as it is not advisable to carry much money around or to leave it in the rooms. Checkbooks are is­ sued (75c each) and the students draw money as they need it, unless they are on a definite allowance. Students may cash checks drawn on either the school bank or outside banks through the student bank on Tuesdays and Fridays ONLY after classes at 12:36 P.M. ■ It is suggested that students budget their money. Having an amount which is to last un­ til a certain date, with the understanding that no more will be available until that time comes, is helpful in learning the value of money. 30 �I !

KENTS HILL ATHLETIC PROGRAM In the belief that a healthy mind in a healthy body is important to a good life, Kents Hill has established an athletic program designed to meet the needs of every individual. All boarding students are required to par­ ticipate in some form of athletics each season. Regardless of size, strength, or experience, each student has a place in the athletic pro­ gram. Athletics are elective for day students by arrangement with the school office. The athletic plant is adequate for the use of all, consisting of the gymnasium, two field 37 �houses, excellent baseball and softball dia­ monds, hockey rink, football gridiron, soccer field, cinder track, eight tennis courts, and ski facilities which consist of two 800-foot elec­ trically operated ski tows sei-vicing a 30-meter jump, racing trail and slalom slope. Should an injury occur to a player, a school doctor on call, a well-supplied training room in the gymnasium, and a resident school nurse are available to answer his needs. Each sports season is closed with a school banquet at which awards are made. Although academic credit for sports is not given, each student receives a rating each term on the effort grading sheet according to his spirit, attitude, and contribution. Emphasis is not placed upon ability, but rather on the man­ ner in which the student participates in his chosen activity. BOYS’ ATHLETIC PROGRAM In season each of the following sports is ofered to boys on both a varsity and junior 'arsity level, under competent, friendly, and enthusiastic coaches: Sports offered by seasons to boys are: FALL WINTER SPRING Football Baseball Basketball Outing Club Skiing Track Cross Hockey Tennis Country Lacrosse Soccer Individual lockers are available for storage of athletic togs.

With parental permission these may be pur­ chased at the school under the instructors’ supervision. All other needed equipment is supplied by the school except shoes and skates. Indi­ viduals who wish to purchase extras may do so. Each boy is provided with clean socks, T-shirts and towels, owned and laundered by the school. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC PROGRAM All resident girl students are required to participate in some athletic activity each sea­ son. The girls’ sports program is offered each afternoon from Monday through Saturday. Both team and individual or dual sports are offered each season. The only requirement in choice is that the girls attending Kents Hill for two or more years must participate, during at least two seasons, in an individual or dual sport. This policy is enforced to insure that each girl has a sport from which she can de­ rive pleasure and healthful exercise after leaving school. 89 �! Sports offered to girls by seasons are: SPRING WINTER FALL Softball Basketball Field Hockey Tennis Skiing Tennis Archery Archery I Equipment, shower, treatment, ski room, and dressing rooms for girls are located in the Girls’ Field House.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES With the exception of athletics, which are compulsory, participation in extracurricular activities is on a voluntary basis. Students who elect to take part in group projects should make certain their scholastic standing war­ rants the expenditure of time necessary for other activities, and should plan to participate in them faithfully until completion for the benefit of themselves and the school. Meetings and rehearsals are held generally during the activity period according to schedule. PUBLICATIONS The Kents Hill Breeze is the school news41 �ij paper, published periodically by an all-student staff under the direction of faculty advisers, and sold at a small fee to cover operating costs. The Breeze is printed, containing edi­ torials by students and faculty members plus student - written articles on feature news, campus doings, dorm activities, numerous anecdotes, and sports reviews, as well as a number of cartoons and other artistic “fillers.” Membership on the newspaper staff is elective as an extracurricular activity by students with journalistic interests. Polaris is the senior yearbook. Application for a staff position may be made to the faculty committee by any senior. Appointments are made with respect to individual qualifications. Besides being a permanent record of the activi­ ties of the seniors, the Polaris also contains a summary of the sports and other* extracur­ ricular activities of the whole school. The Newsletter is a bulletin issued period­ ically by the office, distributed to the stu­ dent body, and sent to parents, friends, and prospective students. The school takes this means of acquainting others with its activities and customs, of announcing honors in effort and scholarship, of reporting sports results, and generally presenting a clear picture of life at Kents Hill. Schedules for each following month are presented, including announcements of the time of departure and arrival for vacations. The Alumnus is an illustrated publication of the Alumni Association which is published three times a year. It includes messages from the 42 ! Ii t �Headmaster, feature articles, school notes, re­ views of athletics, activities of the Alumni organizations and class news. The Kents Hill Handbook is published to acquaint students and friends of the school with its functions. MUSIC Membership in the Kents Hill Choir, which sings at church and vesper services, affords boys and girls training in choral music. Re­ hearsals are held twice a week. The Christ­ mas Vesper Service and participation in the Commencement Exercises are high points of interest in the year’s program. The choir takes part in joint concerts with other inde­ pendent schools and in the Maine Independent School Music Festival. Popular music is fea­ tured in a variety of entertainments and shows. Programs are provided occasionally for several nearby service clubs. DRAMATICS Acting and stagecraft afford students valu­ able experience in producing plays in the at43 i i �h I; i 11 tractive Ricker Hall theater which is equipped with a spacious stage, costume and property rooms, lighting and scenic effects. Any student with satisfactory scholastic standing is eligible to volunteer to take part in individual productions. There is no club organization. The program is varied according to current interest. It may include full-length or one-act plays, excerpts from great dramas, or original shows which give students a chance to use their talents as actors, singers, musi­ cians, or dancers. Faculty members are in charge of dramatics activities. Rehearsals are held daily on school days, and on Saturdays as needed during pro­ duction. DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN “Der Deutsche Verein,” (The German So­ ciety) open to all students of German, meets bi-weekly for meetings both of a cultural and social nature. Dues are assessed. The society sponsors a scholarship citation and award each year at Commencement. CRAFTS Crafts instruction is available to approved students during class hours for scholastic credit. The crafts rooms are open during the activ­ ity period daily for extra-curricular work un­ der the guidance of faculty members. Equip­ ment is available for work in ceramics, metal enameling, leather carving, weaving, stenciling, 44 �i fabric painting, silk-screen printing, sewing and a variety of other crafts. Students purchase their own materials which are usually ordered through the school. An attempt is made to develop handicraft and artistic skills, to stimulate the student’s pride in his work, and to encourage the constructive use of leisure time. A contest in ceramics is held annually. OUTING CLUB The location of the school among lakes and hills, its nearness to mountains and coast make it an ideal situation for outing club activities at all seasons. A school-owned cabin on Love­ 45 �joy Pond is a site for swimming, picnicking, and overnight camping. Spring provides an opportunity for white water canoeing and over­ night trips. In fall and spring, members enjoy hiking trips to nearby mountains and State parks. In winter, ski trips are taken to various ski slopes in this area. The Outing Club sponsors such activities as the Homecoming Dance, Winter Carnival and Snow Ball and the annual Outing Club Picnic. Meetings are held on occasional Friday eve­ nings. The fee for new members is $2.00 and for old members, $1.00.

The Kents Hill Alumni Association provides a link be­ tween your undergraduate days and the days when school life is just a memory. The Alumnus, news magazine of the Associa­ tion, published four times a year, goes to each former student, graduate or not, free of charge, as long as the address is up to date.

I Kents Hill, Kents Hill, the masterful To all who come and go Implant thy spirit in our hearts For conquests here below: To thee, Kents Hill, we will be true, Enchanted by thy lure, Make good thy confidence in us While fellowships endure. —WILLIAM WOOD, ’92 62 j �OUR ALMA MATER (Tune: PALISADES) Come gather ’round the halls of Kents Hill So filled with mem’ry’s golden store; You’ve nurtured loyal sons and daughters E’en for a hundred years and more. There ’mid the lakes and hills and pine trees, We pledged devotion staunch and true; That bond so firm will hold for ever, We bare our heads to you. ’Twas there we made our closest friendships, On that old campus up in Maine; Though years have passed and we are severed, Our hearts will always be the same. With Gray and Crimson proudly waving, In twilight’s shades or morning dew, We’ll always love our Alma Mater, Kents Hill, we sing to you. And over all our mighty nation, Proud sons and daughters praise thy name, With loyal hearts and fond affection, As some have soared to heights of fame. Now with the future still before us, What though the days be bright or blue, From “Oldest Grad” to “Youngest Freshman,” Kents Hill, we’re all for you. —Adapted by Hannah Kimball, ’06 63 �I ;! THE KENTS HILL SCHOOL SEAL Kents Hill School was founded in 1824 under the corporate name of Maine Wesleyan Semi­ nary. A few years before that time the foun­ der, Luther Sampson, travelled by horseback from Massachusetts into the wilderness of Maine to claim his due in a land grant as a veteran of the Revolution. He had planned to journey to the western part of the state, but became inexplicably drawn to turn east. Finally he dismounted and dropped to his knees in prayer. Asking God to guide his path, he remounted and continued his journey toward the rising sun and eventually settled at Kents Hill. Here he and his family lived for many prosperous years. In gratitude to God he opened a school in what is now the 1821 House to give opportunities in education to the young people of the community. It was called the Readfield Religious and Charitable Society and in 1824 became Kents Hill School. The seal depicts Luther Sampson travelling east toward the rising sun. The translation of the Latin motto is “God has shown the Way." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Well, today we are going to take in a movie. Let's take a seat in the balcony and watch the screen carefully. The lights are dimmed and it's time for the show to begin. Across the screen flashes the title, "The History of the Class of 1947." The scene opens and we see before us a mass of students who seem to have the same destination. The door opens and they enter Bearce Hall. Mixed among these students there are some who do not seem as familiar with the build­ ing as others. It is easy to see that they are freshmen because of the bewilder­ ment in their faces. In one room we see twenty-two of them searching frantically for a seat. From far away can be heard the notes of "Oh, Master, Let Me Walk With Thee". The scene changes and it is a day later, and the same faces are seen again. This time there is with them a man who points his finger and says in a stern voice, "Everybody is expected to be in chapel and ON TIME." Their faces show that they realize that "chapel" was the place the singing had come from. Our scene shifts and branches out to the gymnasium and athletic field. As freshmen, the boys are not playing a very important part in football; but in another part of that field the freshmen are considered the same as seniors, — as far as harvesting potatoes is concerned. Even in field hockey practice, the sen­ iors have no mercy for the freshmen. Here is seen one of our freshmen, Joyce Haslam, better known as "Hezzy", trying to keep out of the way of the ball. But, no, she is hit in the teeth! A dusk scene now falls across the screen and worn-out boys and girls are seen hastily walking toward the dormitory. Leisure is found at last; and here, after eating as much as they dare to, a social hour appears to be the time for bashful freshmen to prove they can dance, too. Thus, the fall wears on until, after a few victories in the way of sports, our ■winter program begins. Everyone seems to be moving toward the gym. In the gym are many de­ corated booths with games and fortune telling. Our newly-formed Girl's Athletic Association is sponsoring this, the Country Fair, the first one in the his­ tory of Kents Hill. Now, it is some time later, and we see men in uniform and girls in evening gowns. Everything has the air of Christmas. We distinguish it as the Christmas Formal. Everyone seems to be having a delightful time. That seems to be a new student entering the gym. She is an addition to our class. This is our well-known "Skippy" Stairs. Now, in the gym, we see "Skippy" and "Hezzy" in a game of basketball. Our team doesn't seem to be getting many baskets. Oh! wait, "Skippy" puts one in, and there is another. Ah ha! Sweet revenge on our opposing team, which is our confident faculty. In still another part of the gym, Gordon Fenton is waxing his skis. Then he stands still a moment trying to decide whether or not it would be safe to try them on the ski hill. Why the worried look? It couldn't be time for midyear exams, yet! But it is! Priscilla Ladd is faking a last look at her General Science book before entering �1 the classroom. The freshmen are struggling through their first sample of twohour exams. Another flash shows the dining room again being decorated, this time for the Winter Carnival dance. We see the beginning of a busy weekend, with skiers preparing for the events that are about to start. Winners of Carnival events receive awards at our first Snow Ball on this evening. The dining room is filled with dancers. Freshmen pause to see Janet Northrop and Ernie Pentheny crowned as Carnival King and Queen. Time marches on, and with the coming of spring and new things, our fresh­ men seem to find dirt for their column in the "Maroon and Gray” much easier to get. Walking across the same campus, lately shown under a fall sky, we can now see baseball and softball practice in full swing. Maybe you think you're not going to see freshmen counting much in this part of school life, but once again we'll correct you and show you a very promising baseball player. Yes, that's right, he's just made a home run. This is "Bob" Stevens. This next scene may seem unbelievable to you, but what you see is right, the school group having breakfast at the outdoor fireplace. This is just the begin­ ning of a big "Spring Day.” Notice they are eating well, for still ahead of them are softball games and a ten-mile hike to Brown's Point before dinner. Then, if anyone can stand up after returning and eating still another meal outside, there will be a dance in the dining room — the May Formal, sponsored by the Girls' Athletic Association. Determined to go through with all these activities, it is no wonder that we now see them with a few blisters and half-closed eyes! Perhaps many of you have already seen our last scene of the freshman year, in which we see Marie Bean rewarded for all her hard scholastic work. The murmuring of classmates signify that they, too, agree that she does deserve it. Is everyone comfortable? Can you see quite well? That's fine, because if you're watching carefully you'll notice that, as the movie continues, the scene is the same as at the very beginning. Only, the students you see there are different. There are a few you know; but — my, how much older they look! They're sophomores! The first few days of school the old gang is seen showing the new students the tricks of Kents Hill, and just who's who! Yes, everything has changed, some­ what Our Miss Rice has now changed her name to Mrs. Gordon. Now, by the looks of things, everyone knows what's what! There are the girls harvesting the potatoes; while farther away the boys nin around the field, knocking each other down in the game well known as football. Oh, yes there's someone I want to point out to you. He's a new boy. His name is Merrill Cowperthwaite. Juts watch him in football! He's really displaying what a sophomore can do. Do you know this is the first year in a long time that we have had a complete eleven-man team? Now, we see the boys of the "Outing Club" as busy as bees, under the super­ vision of Mr. Goldthawit, clearing the hill down to Torsey for a ski hill which will be complete after the first few snow falls. Oh yes, here we are now at the second production of our annual Country Fair. How nice the gym looks! Everyone is running thither and yon. Here is a barker shouting “Beano" — another "Hot dogs, punch, apples!" This all looks so good, but it can't last. I2 I �Say there, don't look so sad! Here comes something else as interesting and exciting. It is the traditional Christmas Vesper service presented by Mr. Hadley. The church is beautifully decorated with fir boughs and lighted by candles. The melodic voices of the choir float sweetly through the church and all is in the spirit of good will. Then comes the long Christmas vacation, which is followed by the production of three plays: "Right About Face," "Message From Khufu," and "Antic Spring" under the direction of Miss Russell. As you have probably guessed, there is snow on the ground; and Kents Hill students always take advantage of things. So we see Ginni Roberts on her first trip down the ski hill — and we do mean down! Oh, and another one we forgot to point out to you is Joan Harrison, who at the moment was hiding in a snowball which she began at the top of the ski slope! These skiers! And now we see the students carrying more books than usual and lights blazing far into the night. That's right! It's midyears! Now the ski hill we saw in the making a short while ago is being put to good use. It is the Winter Carnival of 1945, and several students from Kents Hill and various other schools are competing in a ski meet. Kents Hill comes through with a victory. Following the events comes the coronation dance — better known as the Snow Ball — at which Lew Mason and Jean Bunten are crowned king and queen of the Carnival. Now the students seem to be getting back into the swing of things. The basketball teams have come through with remarkable success. What, another play? Yes, it is "Second Fiddle" in the process of being pro­ duced on May eleventh. However, when the morning of May tenth arrives, it looks as if it had snowed in the night — that's impossible — but, no, nothing is impossible! It did snow and the play must be cancelled. In chapel, Mr. Dunn is announcing that the students really must return to their homes to heat and electricity, of which the school has none because of the storm. It seems seconds before the students have packed their clothes and are on the way to the trains on foot. We now see "Second Fiddle" being produced at a later date and proving to be very successful! With the coming of spring we see boys and girls swinging bats in preparation for the baseball and softball seasons. Also, can be seen a few girls batting a ball across the net on the tennis court; but mostly they misjudge their power and spend the rest of the afternoon hunting for lost balls. Notice the days going by! That is, the days are speeding by for those who wish to play baseball or softball; for every day that a game is scheduled is a rainy one! However, they oftentimes play anyway. I guess they live by the proverb, "It's always darkest before the dawn!" It is now nearing the end of the school year, and it is time for banquets. The Boys' Athletic Association is having a banquet at Mrs. Cates', who prepares a wonderful meal for all of them regardless of the meat and sugar shortage. The Girls' Athletic Association holds its banquet at the Augusta House. The girls seem to be enjoying themselves immensely. A gift is presented to the coach for her everlasting efforts, and our president receives a corsage. And now we see the students, sad at the prospect of leaving old friends, but happy to know that they'll be returning next year to acquire new ones. �On this day we see the campus crowded with automobiles. At the Bacca­ laureate Service, Reverend Barr delivers a farewell address which is followed by the planting of the ivy. After the seniors remove their robes, everyone goes to the dining room for a buffet lunch. After lunch, we all go to the church, and the strains of the "Priest's March" lead the seniors and faculty to their places. The long-awaited diplomas are given and awards are given to our deserving classmates, Marie Bean and Robert Stevens, for their scholastic attainments. "Land of Hope and Glory” now resounds, and they march out looking sadder than before. Everyone returns to the dormitory to bid last farewells and to leave school — but wait, they can't go yet! Sweetly floats the voice of our faculty, "Your room hasn't been inspected!" Oh well, we'll be back! Time has passed quickly and as our movie continues, the scene changes and we find ourselves entering our third year here on the Hill. We see students register for the year 1946; and among this group there are> seme who rush forward to greet old friends, while in the background are seen some who are new and bewildered. As the camera takes in the first social event of the season; we find everyone enjoying a typical fall day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Cushman, who have offered us their cordial hospitality. Here new friendships are being formed; and hiking, swimming, games, and a delicious lunch cooked on the open fire, by the lake, make the day a well-remembered one. Now, as we stroll along the campus, we look across to the athletic field where our football team engages in a rough scrimmage. AH we can see is a mass of maroon-and-gray uniforms. Suddenly the situation clears, and out of nowhere appears "Jerry" French, ball in hand, sneaking through the lines toward our goal to make that much-needed touchdown. In another section of the field we see our girls fighting vigorously for the ball. Hockey sticks are everywhere! This spirit continues; and as the bell peals from the tower we again remain undefeated, and we add another victorious season to our credit. Strolling further on, we come to the tennis court and encounter some new excitement. Here we find Allan Wilson and Evelyn Bisbee engaged in a struggle for rights. Who will use our one tennis court? As the weather becomes colder, we decide to look over the dormitory. As we enter, we hear the serious voices of the girls. We look in the living room and notice they are all congregated, gathering new ideas and planning the Country Fair, sponsored by the Girls' Athletic Association. The night arrives, with its food, dancing, and games which make up the good time which is had by all. We notice among us, now, a newcomer — Rena Romano. It is not long before Rena is known by all for her sunny disposition and keen sense of humor. We enter the Christmas season with a spirit of festivity. The church is dec­ orated with sweet-smelling evergreens for our Christmas Candlelight service. We see Madeline Girard donating her musical talents to the choir, and Dr. Drumm delivers an inspiring message. Our formal dance, put on by the Boys' Athletic Association, is a success; and we notice everyone is enjoying the attractive decorations, to which Paul Wright contributed generously, and the music provided by Ralph Lane's orchestra. �Walking along the campus now, the music of the South drifts to us. We follow this to the gym, where we find Miss Russell and Mrs. Gray coaching the minstrel show. As we stop to watch a minute, we notice that two of our juniors have taken the lead. ''Skippy,, Stairs, as an ebony girl is singing and entrancing all, while "Jerry" French, the outstanding endman, steals the show by his wit. Now the weeks really fly by, and we see al] the students settling down to the difficult task of studying for midyear exams. Friday does finally arrive, and books are discarded and exams forgotten. Now all is in full swing for our Winter Carnival. Our basketball teams bring us a double victory over Wilton; our hockey teams win over Dixfield; and the ski team brings us another victory under the able guidance of Mr. "G." That night, at the Snow Ball, "Pat" Lucas brings honor to our class by her coronation as Winter Carnival Queen, accompanied by Burton Finigan as King. In spite of the cold biting winds, we see a crowd of eager spectators waiting for the hockey game to begin. We see the Kents Hill crowd screaming with joy as Herbie Phillips seizes the puck and whizzes it to Paul Wright; Bill Post picks it up; and as quick as a flash a score is made for Kents Hill! The scene changes and it takes us to the gym where spectators are tensely awaiting the signal announcing the start of the girls' basketball game. As the game starts, we hear "Luke" shout to Rena, "We just gotta beat 'em! We gotta make a killing!" We thrill to see Kents Hill come through with a victory of 27 to 15 over Jay. Without great delay we see before us the boys' basketball team ready for action. Of course, they must not be outdone by the girls. We see Roger Lake and Charlie Flight doing a fine piece of work helping Kents Hill to score another victory. All too soon, we see the landscape changing. The once-white driven snow, now not-so-white, is fast melting and disappearing. Intramural basketball games have come and gone. Now, before we realize it, the green grass is evident; and here and there the first flowers of spring are coming into bloom. Immediately this picture is complete; because down the road we can see a spritely figure practicing with aspirations to rate at the track meet with Gould Academy. This, of course, we discern as being none other than the great champ of track, Tom Burgess. The days are fleeting, and once again we come to the time for the senior class to prepare for graduation day. They are ready for greater fields, and we stand in awe and admiration, one minute wishing that this might be our day, the next feeling glad to think that we can return to the Hill for another year. Before us we see our Headmaster, Mr. Dunn, in his impressive black robo announcing the Commencement Prizes. As he calls her name, Dorrice Stairs, our thrush, skips toward him to receive her musical award. Marie Bean, with Highest Honors, is also awarded the Kreger Prize. Paul Edwin Wright is seen mounting the platform, not once, but twice! One award was given him for being meticulous, the other for his fine citizenship and cooperativeness in the dorm and on the campus. The award for the neatest room for the girls was given to none other than our own Virginia Roberts. Much bewildered, Annie Marjorie Frost, is seen walking toward Mr. Dunn to receive a special award for her conscientious effort while attending Kents Hill. As we file out, we are all solemnly thinking that our day is near at hand. �( i And now, as the Senior Class of 1947, we see ourselves returning to Kents Hill to find old faces of last year — as well as many new ones — giving the dormitory a “full to capacity" sign on the door. A scene in Bearce Hall, shows us that all the classrooms, as well as the halls, were repainted in light colors to send us off with bright hopes of receiving pleasing marks for Mr. Dunn's "good book." Since it is our last year at the Hill, we see ourselves looking ahead to many events which are going to be memories all too soon. The scene changes to the fall sports program which shows signs of being a very full affair. On September 28, the football team is opening its schedule, with a game at Gould Academy with the score of 45 for Gould and 0 for Kents Hill. Our other games show improvement, but we lose to Hebron and Liver­ more Falls in later games; although by the end of the season Kents Hill, you might say, is improving continually under the perfect coaching of Mr. Vellante, which gives several wins. The girls' hockey team, on the other part of the field, does a fine job of winning four games and losing one. They just miss a championship season by one goal. The games are well played, and that spirit with which they had played their winning games continues. Look who's coming toward us, covered with mud from top to toe. It's our captain, Phyl Winde, who has once again played a hard game! The fall season comes to a close on Saturday, November 23, when the Sports Banquet is held in the dining room and Letter awards are presented to those who did outstanding work on both Varsity and Junior Varsity football and field hockey teams. The twenty-seventh of November is a glorious event, for Thanksgiving recess starts at noon with shouts of glee. No one is to return until December 2, when classes will resume until December 20. During this short term of school, a lot is being done in the way of activities. Several basketball games are played, including a wonderful game at Lawrence High in Fairfield, where our boys are passing into the winning column with excellent playing. Our girls' team shows much improvement over previous games, too. With Christmas approaching, the Christmas Formal was sponsored by the dormitory boys and was held on December 14. The following day, Sunday, December 15, the Candlelight Service is held at Torsey Memorial Church at 7:30, giving us a Yuletide spirit to return home for a long vacation before re­ turning with the thought of midyear exams in just two weeks. What's this . . . . ? It's around 10 o'clock, the very dark and chilly night of January 21, with everyone, both boys and girls, streaming out of the front doors in pajamas. There is a lot of commotion outside, and they say this is a real fire, not a drill. But it is a false alarm! We finally go back to our rooms, but we are told to be ready to go out again in case something does happen. Shortly after we get to our rooms, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon tell us the whole story of the trouble. Someone smelled smoke of some ashes being removed from the furnace and turned in the alarm! Friday, January 31, is the last day of exams, and what a day to remember! It is now that we see Bearce Hall with a flood of students pouring out of the door, books thrown aside, and smiles upon everybody's face for an exciting weekend �is ahead. We first see the hockey team getting ready for a game with Liver­ more Falls. The next scene is the following day, where we see the skiers get­ ting ready for the ski meet, and — what's this? A whole crowd of girls headed for the gym with arms loaded with all sorts of things. This is the Girls' Athletic Association making ready for the dance. Inside the gym we see people moving about in all directions. 'Way above everybody, on the back of a basket, where she has been tacking up streamers, is Mary Philbrick. This is the night we see a large snow man in the middle of the gym and colorful streamers coming from all sides. The stage is decorated with green boughs and three large posters of brightly-colored winter scenes. Snowshoes, skates, and skis decorate the walls. The throne, where the King and Queen are to sit, is draped in white with green boughs around it. Eva Scott and Jim Sterling are crowned as our Snow Ball royalty. The scene changes again, and it is now after the busy Carnival weekend, and everyone has again resumed studies. Here we see Joanne Hart, loaded with books, trudging over to Bearce Hall for her first class of the day. Right after Joanne comes Ken Home, making his daily visit to the library to see if there are any more books that he can read. The talk now is all about the long weekend that will be coming soon, Feb­ ruary 20, to be exact. We overhear Walter Stanley, as he comes out of the store, talking about how nice it will be when he won't have to get his goingaway slip signed before going to Winthrop. Lou Flowers is also commenting on what he'll be doing on his long weekend. It is now Thursday noon, February 20. There is all kinds of talk and excite­ ment, for this is the beginning of our long weekend. Here we see another new senior, Ruth West, getting on the bus that takes us to Augusta where we get the trains to all destinations. Monday, February 24, the long weekend is over and once again we're back at Kents Hill. Here's Marion Davis, back again after taking in the sights of New York. On March 21, the Winter Sports banquet has finished off that period of our last year here very nicely. There follows a very busy time this spring. After our full basketball apd ice hockey schedules, there comes intramural basketball; and then spring sports put in an appearance. Baseball and softabll enthusiasts can hardly wait for that. The Outing Club has made many plans, of a winter evening, for more improvements on our Indian Trail ski hills. Now the time has come to make these dreams the real thing. Time has gone fast, and it is now the Senior Prom. Here we see the gym once again decorated in beautiful colors. The evening goes by almost too fast for the departing seniors, who have just begun to realize that their school days are now just a memory! Our last day here at Kents Hill has come, and with it the time to say good-bye. This is a day of both gladness and tears; but, nevertheless, the class of 1947 has made its record and now it goes down in history. �Biographies EVELYN ELIZABETH BISBEE — ”Biz' ‘Red" Junior College Waitsfield, Vermont Entered K.

During the buffet lunch given at the home of Mr. Dunn, our headmaster, who is now retired, our classmates were discussed. As Pat Lucas was absent, we inquired about her. Mandy Girard says that she had a letter from Pat saying that Don, Jr., has the measles and that, if pos­ sible, could Mandy get time off from the hospital to help her with the children? We hear that Willie Wilson can be seen nightly at "Elmer Blurtt's" Night Club in the now-famous city of Nahant. His main feature is Miss Dorrice Stairs singing "Lump Lump," his famous theme song. While Skippy sings this, Mary Philbrick goes through the suggested actions in comic acrobatics. Miss Philbrick lately appeared at the "Old Globe" where she kicked her dancing slippers over the front-row balcony. Many of Red Burgess' admirers have read of his record in the 440-yard run, which still remains unbeaten. Rena Romano has just returned from Paris where she attended the Spring Fashion Show. We understand that Rena has established an exclusive Design­ ing Center for New York's socialites. At the luncheon, Marion Davis and Ginny Roberts were overheard discussing the possibilities of a trip to Vermont, but we all know that Donn would disapprove and that Ginny's boss, Gordon Fenton, had an important business meeting necessitating her presence. The most changeable in our class was Phyl Winde. She couldn t decide which man she loved most, so she is now single and is well known for her column in "The Boston Herald," TELL AUNT PHYL YOUR TROUBLES. Her assistant is Ruth West, who is just the opposite. Ruthie could never get a man, so she tries to console others with her HOW NOT TO DO ITs. �One of the most efficient medical centers in the East is run by Annie Frost and Priscilla Ladd. Annie is the surgeon who cuts up the patients; and Priscilla is the dentist whom they all love because of her new painless drill. Hezzy Haslam says that photographing the athletic teams keeps her very busy — especially the outstanding ski team of Kents Hill which is coached by Joan Harrison. George's Restaurant, in the metropolis of Winthrop, is doing a wonderful business. George Jones, the proprietor, is famous for his meals which his trained dietitian, Marie Bean, plans. His favorite side-line is the garage bus­ iness. Merrill Cowperthwaite wrecks the cars and George's best mechanic, Bob Stevens, repairs them. (Or, with the help of Charlie flight, sells him a new one. Charlie obtained his selling ability in the senior English class, trying to convince Miss Choate he deserved an "A" instead of a ”B.") Our class has a great variety, it seems. "Bizz" Bisbee and Joanne Hart have gone into the insurance business. Joanne takes care of the business part; and “Bizz," the nurse, sells the customers more insurance by giving them a pink pill and telling them they'll die in six months. "Bizz" had a lot of practice selling tickets and such at Kents Hill. During the conversation, Mrs. Dunn mentioned that she had heard on the radio last night that Coach "Dumbo" Lake's trophy-winning swimming team of Vassar College had won the Olympics title. Congratulations, Coach Lake. One member of our class, Ken Horne, has received recognition from a foreign country. His appointment, by the King of England, as honorary Poet Laureate was made official last week. Brockton, Mass., celebrated the election of its new mayor, Bill Post, by having one of the largest parades in the city's history. Mayor Post was driven through the city streets in a green "Mercury," chauffered by Paul Wright who received his early training for this position at Kents Hill. We all were greatly upset to learn that Herbie Phillips and Gerry French were seriously injured while attempting to bum water in Mr. Gordon's private laboratory. This was their second accident, the first having occurred when they tried to put the water in the dish. We hope that they will recover soon and will be able to continue their experiment. Walter Stanley has finally fulfilled his life's ambition of seeing the country (by means of punching tickets on a train). One of his most frequent passengers is Lu Flowers who very often sleeps through his stop. The last time Walt saw Lu was last week in California — headed west. Having discussed the results of Kents Hill's training, we cordially thanked Mr. and Mrs. Dunn for the enjoyable afternoon spent in their home. Each of us parted with a happy look on his face and with plans for a future reunion.

Of the eleven men who started in that first game at Gould Academy, only four had previous football experience. Many times the team was forced to bear defeat, but at all times the opposition was forced to fight a spirited Kents Hill team. The season may be classed as successful in light of the progress that the team showed throughout the year. The high spots of the season were the tie with Wilton and the win over Farm­ ington High School. The Farmington victory was accomplished by two for­ ward passes caught by Captain Rider. �? l KENTS T-TTT.T. JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM : H. Seaman, C. Flight, B. Lent, M. Killam, R. Fellows, A.

In our game at Hebron, which was a see-saw affair, Charley Frank ran eighty yards around right end, in the second period, for the only score of the game. At Farmington, in our second game with them, Dick Flood scored on a pass from Charley Frank. Charley then made the conversion. Our last game of the season was with Livermore Falls. Dick Flood scored on a pass from Charley Frank. Later on in the game, Flood intercepted a Liver­ more pass and set up the other touchdown. Charley Frank kicked the extra points. i �I S, I .__ Hr’* V ' << \ V 1 zl ;) /\ ■A • 1 ■. ’ Vi '■ j- ! r KENTS HILL FIELD HOCKEY TEAM Second row: Miss Given, A. Wilkinson, A. Gleason, F. Hill, P.

None of the girls had held a hockey stick before. However, Coaches Parker and Given took these girls and soon taught them the way of field hockey. With this new knowledge well in hand, the girls played two games with Cony's J. V. field hockey team. Both were exciting games and the girls proved that they had learned and mastered their new knowledge. The captain of the hockey team was Connie Barr. Ruth West and Audrey Wilkinson proved their ability as managers. �— —• •;••••r- — 11■ i •_ J iTb | i I ' '■ ^1 a - I ■ t-y. KENTS HILL BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM Second row: Mr. Vellante, R. Rider, J.

At the start of the season, the outlook for a prosperous team was good; and, at the conclusion of the first game, it was evident that this group would go a long way in athletic competition. The first game was a thrilling affair with a strong Lawrence team, and the Maroon and Gray came out victorious after trailing most of the three periods. �All through the year the team was sparked by Captain Dick Hartman, whose steady play made our team a dangerous one throughout the season. Hartman teamed well with Thompson and Lake at the beginning of the year, and the three worked beautifully with their passing skill. Kents Hill played Hebron Academy at Hebron and took a thrashing, but it did them no harm for it developed a combination in Springer, Hartman, and Thompson. This trio lasted throughout the season and lost but one game, and that to the same Hebron team, by one point, 31-30. Keith Springer used his height to great advantage under the basket and scored as many as 25 points in more than three important games. Thompson's passing was something to look forward to in our games. With deadly accuracy, he would feed passes to Hartman and Springer, and although his scoring was not as high as the other two, boys', it was his fine passing that enabled Hartman and Springer to rack up their total points. Rider and Buswell were the unsung heroes of the team. Without these two men, we might not have won more than a half dozen of our games. Their height was by far a most vital asset to our team, and after getting the ball from our own backboards, they would set up the plays for the three forward men. A salute to "Reg'' and "Paul''!!!!!! A team is as strong as its substitutes, and the personnel of Lake, Deininger. Stivers, Frank, and Gould did much to aid in the success of the team. Roger Lake was an extremely valuable man as his total number of 102 points will indicate, being third highest on the team. Frank Deininger was an asset with his stellar defensive play; as well as Tom Stivers, and Charlie Frank, who were used sparingly in more than half the games. John Gould provided the crowd with ah's and oh's with his spectacular one-handed shots. �« r, i KENTS HILL JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Second row: Mr. Doherty, K. Daniels, H. Seaman, T.

Gardiner Richardson was high scorer for the game. After this first game, Mr. Wiggin was forced to drop coaching because of illness at home; and Mr. Doherty kindly coached. In our game with Hebron we were hopelessly outclassed, but we played hard and gained much valuable experience from this game. During the game with Kingfield, we really started playing ball. Trading atthe half by nine points, we won the game in the last minute on a basket by Gardiner Richardson. Our passing, which was very good, brought us the victory. The second game with Gardiner was our peak performance. Behind at the half by two points, we went on to win a well-deserved victory by dint of good defense and excellent passing. This was very pleasing to us, as they had won by a considerable margin in our previous game. �£13 j| % ■/ lJ* li I ii® A ’' Second row: First row : I KENTS HILL GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM Miss Given, E.

After suffering a defeat at the hands of the Wilton Veterans, in the next game, we quickly recovered and went on to make a good showing. We finished the season by winning five more games and losing two of the re­ maining seven. High scorer was Hugo Cross with 177 points for the season. Our most exciting game was against our bitter rival, Winthrop. They led us during the whole game; but with only two minutes to play the score was tied, 38-38. In those last two minutes Kents Hill managed to get two quick baskets, and we won the game, 42-38. �- -r — ESS—sorh Do q □opr Sa# S- ku ■'--Il'lT'?/’ I ■ r .1 Li KENTS HILL OUTING CLUB Second row: G.

Burtt Review of Outing Club Season Each year the boys that are not interested in throwing a dead pigskin around the field, and want to accomplish something, go down to the ski trail to work. The slope, this year, was widened twenty feet and a fast new trail was added. At three o'clock each afternoon, from September to December, you would see eight or ten handsome brutes with axes, shovels, picks, saws, scythes, knives, and a chain, head for the slope for an hour's work. Some of the boys would be chopping down trees, others moving rocks, while the rest listened to Red Daniels' jokes. As was stated before, we would start for work at three o'clock, but every day there were some who would be late. This had to be stopped, so a new rule was enforced. Every time someone came down late and did not have a written excuse, he would have to drag a small fir tree up and down the slope. Mr. Laite and Mr. Daniels were experts at this job. Soon our afternoon's work became a routine, and the weeks slipped swiftly by. Trees, rocks, and stumps disappeared; and the hill began to represent a good ski slope. On the whole, it seems that the boys did a fine job, considering the fact that they lacked the proper tools with which to do the work. Many times we made improvised tools to do the job. Without Mr Goldthwait's brain, Red Daniels' jokes, and Willie Wilson's puns, I don't think we would have been successful. Maybe the boys next year will have dynamite and a bulldozer to help them!!! �rife A? Lj-.. t ’A n Tfis \ A -A KENTS HILL HOCKEY TEAM Second row: L. McSorley, G. Atkinson, H. Phillips, M. Killam, J.

They played touch football for conditioning purposes. This was supplemented with practice on the tennis court, to develop shooting characteristics, under the direction of Mr. Swett. After the Thanksgiving recess, Mr. Swett took the squad down to the lake to develop their skating ability. During the Christmas recess Mr. Dunn, Mr. Chase, and Mr. Bowen worked hard to get the rink in playing condition by the end of the recess. They battled the weather and time in producing ice sufficient to skate on. The squad returned from the Christmas vacation with a high spirit and sharp skates. Under the supervision of Mr. Swett the hockey squad im­ proved as it gained experience and turned in a succesful season. One of the most satisfying scores made by the hockey team this season was that of 7-1 against the crack Dixfield club. This vzas the game played during the Winter Carnival weekend, here at Kents Hill. Our team was in excellent condition and so was the rink, which was just what we wanted when playing Dixneld who trimmed us twice last year. The continual improvement of the hockey team was evidenced by the scores on the second games. Real progress developed under Mr. Swett's able coach­ ing, and over a majority of the games were won by the boys. �to \ w z<*“; - - T'r y • '— X / (■■■ if \ \\ I . I ■ !

Hamilton Review of The Skiing Season of 1947 Bob Burtt, Jim Sterling — Co-Captains Mr. Goldthwait — Coach As the ski hill was slowly covered with snow so that skiing was possible, the enthusiastic ski group started its practicing for the season ahead. By February 1, the day of our carnival, there was no doubt of our taking the meet, although one factor stood in the way. Our icy slope was not the best for skiing. To the surprise of many, Alistair MacKinnon took first place in cross country, with a Jay man for second and Wilton for third. On downhill, our first man was Bob Burtt who scored fourth, but was followed up by Jim Sterling and Roy Chapman. On slalom, Gordon Fenton took first, with Jim Sterling coming in for a second, and Dexter Blackadar close behind for third. As a team we won, but not by a large margin. Our score was 286, Jay 208, Wilton 176, and Livermore 164. Since we had won our Carnival three times in succession the Kents Hill Ski Cup became the property of the school. On February 8, the team went over to the Wilton Carnival. We won, due to a first and a tie for second in downhill; and in slalom, a second and fourth. The bell was given a good ring when the team arrived back at the Hill. A meet scheduled with Bowdoin's Junior Varsity was canceled, due to snow conditions. We traveled to Hebron for a meet, which they won by 2.4 points. I i �I -- LJfcjl i'E -A i- . ■■ — -4 w KENTS HILL GIRLS' SKI TEAM Third row: G. Mitchell, J. Hart, S. Warren, E. Scott, R.

In our initial meet Beverly Latham placed first; Francina Hill, second; Joan Harrison, third; Joan Shackford, fourth; and Eva Scott, fifth. The meet was between Livermore Falls and Kents Hill. Intramural races were held on the last day of skiing, March 7. Joan Harrison came in first in slalom and downhill. �\/ fv 11 -’<IX r' r0IS fib i] s KENTS HILL BASEBALL TEAM Mr. Vellante, C.

On May 3 our victorious softball team won over Farmington to the score of eighteen to nothing On the ninth of May another victory was won from Hallowell, the score being twenty-six to one. At Rumford, on the thirteenth, we lost our first and only game with the score twenty to twelve. Despite this loss, the softball players won another victory when they played Jay High School for the second time, with a score of twelve to thirteen. With one rather successful season behind us, we are looking forward to next year when we will be able to put a more experienced team on the field. r �•303X3 LU J ~r-’r—sb— . xu c'" ■ wo '• A.)

Waterville. <Coach -------- Swett's excellent coaching in the field ©vents; and Coach Fiorillo's work in the running department showed well. Next on the schedule was a quadruple meet with Farmington, Phillips, and Wilton. It woo easily noted in the first of the meet that the laurels were going to bo Very evenly divided between Kents Hill and Farmington. The point margin swayed first one way, then the other. Finally, because of the lack of a pole vaulter, it settled on our opponent's side. Th© following Saturday they again journeyed to Waterville, this time to compet© in a triangular meet with Cony and Coburn. The boys topped Cobum and made an exceedingly better showing against Cony. The season ended with a meet at Gould, one of the strongest teams m the fjlnte. Even though they lost, the boys showed1 excellent spirit and gave Gould good competition. r �A ■ J AM Kfi i*-; ® < ■. w Mil \ F «" a i i It > 1f . ■’• k '< i < J / '° I ...,-'■ a’ w / r- \ . ~*^ : A Oj ' ’4 s _’K -- :- V- •• k ; '■■ -3 A P n-;H :: j’-- S . j .'L>' lr i__ !v J 1H 1 1X' I ■ I T 4'B Igf? b.l n I 11 X< * i MHMR r> a’___'"• 41 A 4 rss I b- < !

Harris, late President of the University of Maine. Dr. Harris was determined that scholastic achievement should be accorded at least as much recognition in schools as was given to all other activities; and he en­ visioned a Society on the secondary school level, modeled on Phi Beta Kappa, which should encourage and reward the scholar. Accordingly, he organized an Interscholastic Scholarship Fraternity in the Tome School. The name given to the new society was Alpha Delta Tau Frater­ nity. This was changed to Cum Laude Society in 1916. Much caution was used in the selection of the first chapters, which included Tome School, Phillips Andover, and Phillips Exeter. The only chapters in Maine are Kents Hill and Hebron. Cum Laude is an honor society, and only students who stand in the first fifth of the class are eligible if they have an honor record. To make election to Cum Laude is one of the chief honors by our standard, and we have had about two hundred students elected members of Cum Laude. Students elected to Cum Laude in 1947 are Marie Bean and Marion Davis. Faculty members who belong to Cum Laude are Mr. and Mrs. John O. Newton, Headmaster, and Mrs. William Dunn, Mr. Lawrence Goldthwait, Mr. and Mrs. John Gordon, Miss Sylvia Capone, and Miss Vivian Russell. i �HONOR PARTS, 1946 y1~ k 5*^4 i a ■! -'A j l* Left to right: Virginia McMichael, Eleanor Megert, Russell Walters, Salutatorians, Preparatory School; Carol Graham, Valedictorian, Preparatory School; and Violet Peterson, Valedictorian, Junior College i I Prizes Awarded at Commencement, !

Rehearsals started and programs were produced and received in the Kents Hill tradition. The first program by the Glee Club was given in the dining room of Sampson Hall during the evening of November 25. It consisted of the old favorites by Stephen Foster, with special numbers. Highlights of the program were the opening solo by Constance Barr; male solos by Richard Fellows, Kenneth Sprague, and Mallory Killam; the lovely "Come Where My Love Lies Dream­ ing" by Noralee Hudson; a duet by Madeline Girard and Constance Barr; and a quartet arrangement of "The Bells of Saint Mary's" by Noralee Hudson, Madeline Girard, Marion Davis, and Cynthia Cleveland. A candlelight vesper service at the Torsey Memorial Church was presented during the Christmas season. Noralee Hudson gave a very effective rendition of ”Gesu Bambino"; and Constance Barr, accompanied by the choir, sang "Mary's Song." Christmas carols were sung by the congregation and choir. After the holiday season, the Glee Club started its annual minstrel show re­ hearsals. Our minstrel show was presented at the Newton Gymnasium on March 1, and on March 7 at Kents Hill night at the Readfield Grange. The Choir and Glee Club has had a successful year under the competent direction and tireless effort of Mrs. Audrey Gray. �Kents Hill Maroon and Gray Key Society The Maroon and Gray Key Society has a membership of ten boys and ten girls selected by student vote. Basic qualities of society members are leader­ ship, personality, courtesy, and school spirit; and it is a high honor and priv­ ilege to be elected. A Key member will help to greet visiting teams, act as visitors' guide on campus, serve as usher at various school activities. The Society also helps to formulate policies of the school and to plan school activities. Members elected for 1947 are: Robert Burtt Merrill Bartlett Roger Lake Richard Hartman Frank Deininger Kenneth Sprague Gerald French James Sterling Rosemary Fettinger Barbara Brandt Mary Philbrick Patricia Lucas Marion Davis Mozelle Rumery Francina Hill Eva Scott 9W c - �* I ' : w i ' V ’ ’*** 1 ■ ? ----Li*. - ' ’ ‘ ■- ■’ ■KWr \> ■K~==^~- -1 ^-7-. •■'•• t- .

Polio, for instance. Soon, it appears, there will be no need to fear this disease, but back during the Scare of 1953 quite a few of us bore temporary scars. We remember how we laughed when the football team came down to sup­ per carrying pillows after a visit to the doctor, and we remember how they laughed, too, joking about the size of the needle and the toughness of their hides. When the excitement was over and the quarantine was lifted we resumed our football season, but Charley Doyle and Paul Ryan were no longer with us, and Eddie Dodge had had a brush with polio. But the team played as though they had never missed a practice session, running rampant over Rockland, and losing to St. Dorn's by only one point in a thrilling wind-up for the season. And if you happen to mention socks, we remember a certain Sock Hop sponsored by the Outing Club in the gym, when Roger and Sue won a prize for the most unusual socks -- they wore identical argyles. Just a coin­ cidence, of course. And speaking of dances, who can forget the wonder­ ful Hallowe'en affair put on by the G. A. A., when a strange couple in rubber masks, he in outdated evening dress, she in a well-padded oldfashioned bathing suit, looked like anything but a headmaster and his wife -- which they were! There was the annual lobster feed at Rockland, on a windy gray day, and we noticed that Miss Russell and Miss Choate had trouble getting down that sixth lobster apiece. And Miss Russell's seniors put on sev­ eral plays before the movies on Saturday nights -- we remember "The Mystery of Mouldy Manor," with Lois Master man as a frightened Swe­ dish maid, and "Thank You, Doctor," with Don Kellett as a convincing lunatic. And there were lunches at the Outing Club cabin, with a few hardy souls braving the chilly waters of Lovejoy Pond, and the glee club sang for the Maine Women's Club District Meeting at Oakland, and Mol­ lie Nolen captained the girls' hockey team, which made up in fun and spirit what it was not quite able to achieve in goals. «1,, 2 - Z -• « 4* �X.V KH . < —____ * ■■ 1 y J 4 • L And there was the fall sports banquet, beginning with an especially fine meal and ending with a rousing chorus of "Chase’s Chain Gang," complete with grunts. In between there were letters and awards given, and Dave Dutton and Don Crowley received jointly the Richlin Trophy for sportsmanship on and off the field. Of course there were classes, too, but we don’t seem to remember much about them. We must have been thinking of other things, perhaps of how the girls worked in the kitchen on weekends and seemed to make the chores almost fun to do. Besides, Thanksgiving was coming on, bringing our autumn to an end. �WHAT’S NEW AT KENTS HILL? CRAFTS CLASSES When school resumed last September several new classes were of­ fered in the curriculum, and among these was a whole new department of industrial arts and crafts--an altogether new departure from the re­ cent offering of studies at Kents Hill. But the courses in shop and crafts were in keeping with the oldest of Kents Hill traditions: in the early days of the school a show was operated in which students were able to manufacture such articles as chairs, benches, and trunks, the sale of which contributed to school finances and to the payment of student ex­ penses. Today’s courses are of course not intended to profit the school or the students directly, but rather to develop in interested and talented students skills that may be sources of pleasure in later years. Now in its seventh year, the Crafts department is by no means an innovation to Kents Hill, but for the first time students can this year take regular morning classes in crafts that contribute to diploma credit. Under Miss Choate's guidance the crafts room has been enlarged and new projects have been added, so that at the present time more students than ever--about sixty of them--participate in constructive activities in a broad variety of handiworks. The present crafts room is a large, unusually pleasant room in Ricker Hall where some thirty different projects can be learned and practiced. Newest in the crafts offerings is weaving, thanks to the pur­ chase of two aluminum looms, but leathercraft remains the most popu­ lar attraction, and a large number of decorated wallets, belts, mocas­ sins, and pocketbooks have been created this year. Tray-painting, bronze powder stencilling, and shell jewelry-making are among other popular activities. r Below left: Leather-pounders Hutch Bearce, Randy Brown, Jean Wood, Lunnie Clark, Roy Waitt, P. J. Stevens, and Joan Currier. Right: Miss Choate helps Hutch, Randy, and P. J. In rear: jew­ elers Jean Bannarn and Carol Hodgkins, weavers Lunnie Clark and Paul Gray. �WHAT'S NEW AT KENTS HILL? CERAMICS Strictly speaking, the ceramics classes and activity are part of the crafts set-up, but interest in it and the amount of work that has been done in ceramics since last September is extensive enough so that it might almost be considered a separate activity. The ceramics room is new this year; some equipment was available last spring, but illness at school prevented Miss Stevens, who divides her time between the Infir­ mary and the crafts room, from directing as much work with clay as she would have liked. This fall, however, with the acquisition of an electric kiln and a station wagon full of good Maine clay from Fayette and Livermore Falls, everything was ready for major operations in the ceramics department. At first the attention of the students was directed toward simple forms and objects of some utility--ash trays and shallow bowls pre­ dominating. With the arrival of Hallowe'en came an outburst of inspir ation that resulted in a number of unusual and grotesque figures - -witches, pumpkins, and the like. Still later the interest of students turned to the animal kingdom, and Miss Stevens, encouraged by the enthusiasm in modeling animals, proposes to make a collection of the birds and beasts native to Maine, and to keep it on permanent display in the ceramics room. After Christmas Miss Stevens was on hand to advise students who wanted to try their hands at modeling heads, and the ceramics room looks like a small art museum, with a dozen different busts decorating the shelves. The most recent addition to the ceramics room is a small metal enamel kiln, which promises a great deal of pleasure to those who are interested in creating trays, jewelry, or plaques in colored enamel on copper or aluminum. Below, left: Carol Hodgkins signs her name to a masterpiece. Right: Caroline Dunn, Mary Pettingill, and Carol Hodgkins, and some of the finished products of the ceramics department. , 1VLL, JLgjUJ U ...... �WHAT'S NEW AT KENTS HILL? SHOP In the basement of Ricker Hall an odor of sawdust and paint lingers in the air. There the study hall of previous years has been converted to a fully-equipped workroom containing lathes, saws, vises, a grooving machine, a hemming machine, a drill press, drawing boards, paints, easels, and other tools too numerous to mention. All morning long and for a portion of the afternoon regular credit courses are held, during which are taught sheet metal work, cabinet making, mechanical draw­ ing, blue print reading, fine arts, and refinishing antiques. Mr. Bow­ den presides over this realm of constructive activity, bringing to the students a background of practical experience and a wealth of patience that have made him one of our most popular instructors. The shop is not a retreat for students who are uninterested in scholastic courses, but rather a classroom for those genuinely skilled in manual arts. Each student is, in the early part of the year, given the Cuda Preference Test to measure his particular mechanical ability, and projects are chosen for him in accordance with the results of that test. Faculty as well as students have found pleasure in working on tables, chairs, bookends, cabinets, models, oil paintings, and other useful and decorative objects. A drop forge is contemplated for the future to ex­ tend still further the field of instruction and experience, and Kents Hill is able to provide useful and profitable areas of learning to an even wid­ er group of students than ever.

The Outing Club Work Group is largely responsible for laying the groundwork for improved skiing facilities this year. Through the autumn season members of the group, led by the indefatiguable Mr. Van, mowed grass, cleared underbrush, cut down small bushes, and removed stones in a project to widen the cross-country trail and smooth the down-hill slope. A new jump was prepared, and the cross­ country trail was extended considerably. At other times the group distinguished themselves by lining the football field and doing other jobs of general usefulness. 28 �CHEERLEADERS I K» £ b KB KB KP Left to right: Jane Chapman, Frances Buxton, Nancy Holden, Head Cheerleader Jean Chapman, Martha Bradford, Jane Aldrich, Jeanne Brown.

Most of the skiers thought that there wasn't enough snow,and hockey practice simply wasn'tfor quite awhile, because the ice wasn’t. But there were other things to remember: The confusion, for instance, about who was taking whom to the Christmas Ball. For a while everybody was dating nobody, but by the night of the shindig most of the boys had been talked in to asking. The Candlelight Carol service, just before vacation, for another thing, when everything went smoothly until a voice in the congregation (we thinkit was a freshman) said, "Mommy, why don't they turn the lights on?" And after we came back, the basketball games showed us how fragile Dick Berry's ankles were, how persistently Mr. Hilton and Miss Butler could argue a fine point in rules, how efficient Jane Brown was on the court (one of the best guards in the state, Miss Butler said). Sandra Belton discovered the joys of skiing, and Teddy Bear helped sweep the ice, sometimes using a broom. After mid-years, Winter Carnival. We crowned Nancy Holden and Roger Luce as the Royal Pair, and elected Bobbie White, Marty Bradford, Polly Pettipgill, Saney Buxton, Dave Dutton, Wayne Fish, John Rogers, and Pete Hay as the Court. After dancing ourselves dizzy we took two or three days off and rested up for the next round. The rest of the winter seems a white blur in our minds. We have an impres­ sion of night basketball practice, scratchy dance music in the clubroom, frozen orange soda on the window sill, huge icicles on the water tower, Scotch auctions in chapel for the March of Dimes; of Mr. Van leaving his mark on the ski hill, of Mr. Dunn's devotion to the hockey rink, of Mrs. Cullen sitting on the radiator, of Miss Stevens' fascination in the Scrabble board; of Sue and Roger's unique style of dancing, of Marty and Elissa having a powder fight, of Brenda and Paul having a snowball fight, of Mike and Joan having any kind of a fight . . . Late in February we came of age. On the 27th of the month we were 130 years old, and we had a party to celebrate it. Millie outdid herself, making a cake for every table, and J. O. Newton, ninety years old, told us about the school in its early days. Mis s Rus sell directed more plays, and we remember one called "New Fountains," in which Bobbie White was a polio victim, and another one, "No, not the Russians," full of eccentric geniuses such as Bob Orcutt, Ray Demers, Joan Currier, and "Half-sheet" Wood. The glee club made like gypsies for the Grange, the history classes visited the Town Meeting, and we finished off with a sports banquet, in which Artie Clark got the Mike Ursin trophy for scoring the most points in two years of ski competition, John Ebelhare got the Alan Nightingale award for greatest contribution to the ski team, and Sheila Mahoney and Dave Davis took cups for the foul-shooting contest. The cold weather lingered on, but not us. We took off the next day for spring vacation, which meant that winter was officially over. 34 �Happy birthday to us!

Back in the '90’s, Kents Hill was the second largest music school in New England. Making music was then what waiting-on is today; everybody did it. Times change, and people move faster and faster, but the urge to make music per­ sists from age to age. Last fall some of the very songs that had provided entertainment back in the '90's were cutting their way through the atmosphere of the boys' smoker: "Lindy," "Old Blackjoe," and that immortal, "My Coney Island Babe." The Anonymous Four were on their way. Surely they could not have foreseen, when they began singing, the geographical extent of their audience. Between November and June the quartet filled some thirtyfive singing engagements, performing for clubs and meetings from Bangor to Boston. Three alumni banquets heard them; four television programs included them; the Metho­ dists, the Maine School Principals, the Shriners and the students at Morse High in Bath applauded them. They brought down the house at Edward Little and captivated the Au­ gusta University Club ladies and sang in chapel and at church on Sunday and for Com­ mencement. From the first moment when the quartet bowled over the entire school with their precision and enthusiasm -- one morning in chapel --it was clear that in them we had something worth listening to, born right here in our midst. When in Class Day four mo­ notonous seniors did a take-off of the quartet, that was merely an indication of their success and renown. The Kents Hill Quartet -- the name came by association, not by choice -- had turned out to be far more than just a smoker group; it was one of the most effective spokesmen for the school. Perhaps their highest achievement came early in May, when they won the Parade of Quartets contest at Bangor, which they entered in the "under 25 years" class. In addition to establishing a reputation for fine singing, they had the opportunity to listen to other we 11-disciplined and enthusiastic quartets from Maine and elsewhere. Fortunately, the quartet’s audience is no longer limited. Late in May a record was cut in Bostonof several of the songs that the still Anonymous Four had made familiar to all of us and to many more. Their harmony thus lingers on, though they themselves -- two of them being seniors -- may have drifted apart. 49 i �TENNIS Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill 5-0 4-2 4- 4 5- 2 2-6 8 - 1 5 - 1 6 - 1 6 - 1 5 - 1 St. Dorns Portland Holderness Brunswick Colby Frosh Hebron JV Lewiston St. Doms Hebron JV Brunswick First row: No. 6, Bert Peary; Jerry Hinds; No. 5, Bill Dunn; Harry Knight; Coach Currier.

This spring, after a lapse of several years, Archery was revived as a girls' spring sport under the guidance of Mrs. Cullen. Enthusiasm ran high, and the budding Cupids attracted lots of attention for their form as well as their aim. Mr. Meyers coached fall tennis for girls, and Miss Butler was in charge of the spring net activities. It is hoped that in the future competitve events may be arranged with nearby schools in both Archery and tennis.

Helen calls me up on her wrist phone to tell me some friend of hers is tryin out a new contraption that tunes in on anybody anywheres, and I suggests that we turn it on our old pals back at KH to see what they're up to. We sits down in front of this fancy gajet, and after a buzz and a blur and a jolt or two, off we goes. Helen yells the same time I do to see FRANK STROZIER kneading bread in the window of an old bakery shop. Seems kinda funny that he should end up like that. Next scene flashes to some lab where we sees FROGGY ROBBINS. He's a tear-jerker in an onion factory. Across the street JACK FOWLER is a taster in a baked bean cannery. Now the machine goes wild and I gets a few impressions flashin by -of TED YEATON paintin kewpie dolls, HAR­ OLD BEAN cuttin out animal crackers, FLASH CROWLEY runnin out in front in a dog race in Siberia, BOB ORCUTT decoratin an angel food cake with uncanny skill, and RAY DEMERS swimmin in an underwater cafe singin an accom­ paniment to the sign he's holdin: "Pepo! Puts Pep in your Pantaloons." Well, the pictures slow down again and I gets a short glimpse of EVA BOILEY and DOTTIE PEACHEY cookin port fer a bunch of archeologists up on the moon. Yep, an there’s EMERY NASON up there too, totin H20 to the diggers. Seems like some of the old gang stuck together anyways. My heavens above! There's NANCY HOLDEN, up in some forsaken place chasin Injuns through the woods with a tomahawk. My, she's sure givin it to them. --Well, where’d CHARLIE TURCOTTE drift in from? There he is now, up on that cloud. Made a slight error in a chemistry experiment. --Here's one guy who made good. RANDY BROWN has finally achieved the enviable position of chief pipe at the Bangor Bubble Factory. And who'se that washin winders at the Whoopsey Doopsey Diaper Corporation? LORAINE HALL -- our valedictorian. Now I've seen it all. --Here’s one that don't shock me much: DON KELLETT'S crackin rocks in a penitentiary on Mars. Got sent up fer stealin a little girl's candy cane. An here's another that looks natrul: it's JUSTIN TRUE. He's set up in business now. By the way, Paul Revere's goin to win the second race today -- Justin's got good info. Just gettin used to this now. I sits calm while JOAN CURRIER dances by in a purple hula skirt, DON CARTER ac­ cepts his PhD in counterfeiting, and ARTIE CLARK paints "Quiet” signs on Rice Krispies boxes. Here's a situation to write a book on: TREVA LARLEE has cracked under the strain of being a world-famous actress and is now engaged in cuttin out paper dolls in SILVERMAN'S Sunset Home for the Happily Unhinged. I knowed some of em would git hitched. The class sweethearts, SUE and ROG, is married and lives in a dog kennel in Bavaria. Lotta cute little pups runnin round. --And here's out veepee, EB, now a sidewalk artist in Death Valley. Who'd have thunk that? An way out inspace I sees Senator BOYLE, on die third ring of Saturn, writin a book on butter­ flies. Got kicked out of the World Senate for contempt and went a little bats. DAVE DUTTON'S made a big hit in the movies. We ran into a Mercurian science-fiction show that's starrin Dave as the Earthling Monster. And ARLENE SYLVESTER! Thought she was kinda quiet, but I knows that's her on that bar­ stool chugaluggin zombies. There's NORMA STEVENS too, right acrost the bar, sippin martinis. This guy's machine is twisted up -- those gals wouldn't do anythin like that. --Now we're goin real haywire. 1 gets a bit dizzy and looks at SMITTY runnin round the Eiffel Tower in pink bloomers, BOBBY WHITE walkin a tightrope in Tokyo on her hands and sharpenin pencils with her toe-nails, and none other thanDAVE DAVIS knittenbaby booties in a pool room. NANCY WHITCOMB waltzes by holdin a foot-long cigaret holder with which she directs a small band of monkeys play in bag­ pipes. Guess that's JOAN WHITE paintin purple stripes and orange zigzags on the Great Wall of China. --JOAN MELTZER has taken Mike to Egypt and I sees her trainin dogs under the pyramids. Her former roommate, JANE BROWN, is makin hand-carved caskets in Alaska for the huskies and eatin whale blubber. HALF-SHEET is leadin safaris through South Africa carry in a jug of lemonade on her head, while BOB PINKHAM'S splittin toothpicks with a steam shovel. Hear it takes a lot of skill — I knowed he was talented somehow. --And, joltin’ acrost the sands of Araby, it'sBOB LIENAU on his favorite camel. He's a travellin salesman for Jello. Here's DICK BERRY'S grinnin face. Graduated from college with a degree in domestic science and is teachin bedmakin at Oak Grove. --MARTY BRADFORD can't be seen, but the machine focuses on a pig-pen at Stone's farm in Arizona, so Marty can't be far away. JEANNE BROWN flits by in a black lace gown on her way to play the piccolo at the Green Fedora. She's eclipsed by a switch to a business office and what I thinks is at last a successful member of our class: it's JERRY, president of the LESS and LESS Money Corporation. —An there’s CHAPMAN wearin aluminum overalls, testin cowcatchers for the International Railroad. Seems pretty good at it, too. Helen an I gets to laughin so hard at all these sights that the matron pokes her head in to say that we'll have to be quiet or she’ll put us back in our strait jackets. We decides we've exhausted our imagination and I goes back to my jackstraws while Helen begins a tirin game of tiddley-winks with one of the other inmates. Well, it was fun while it lasted. --Lois Masterman 56 �I I * Si FOR L.I.M. JUNE 8, 1954 The angels sigh relievedly: their secrets Are safe again, at least for a while. Just when the stars, quaking with fear, Are threatened with extinction, when the tomb Is preparing to yield its blackest wisdom up To innocence, to boldness, and to the light Of fierce despairing inquiry -- just then The fuse is blown, the Power fails, the light goes out, And stars and tomb, ascendant once again, Recall their endless conundrums, and pose Their maddening queries that begin with "why". A few days more, and summer would have flung About her neck its magic talisman, against whose charm No paltry mishap could have profited. It might not be. For her, midsummer is no due season. She Is the cherished prize of eternal, antic spring. -- bet 57 �AWARDS The Readers' Digest Prize, awarded to the Valedictorian of the class: LORAINE HALL.

Those few days in June that we spent at Kents Hill passed so swiftly that they blurred the whole spring term, and before we had a chance to disentangle our memories, the car was packed, the goodbys said, and Bearce and Sampson and the gym were fading in the distance. We thought with an effort of the last weeks of school: of the monotonous rain, rain, rain during May; of the unusually good track and tennis seasons; of Spring Cleaning and what it brought to light; of Zeta on crutches and Mr. Meyers with a cane; of Mr. Van and his new buggy and its daily bath; of Senior Vespers when Lois and Randy read so well; of "Antic Spring" and "The Valiant" and "A Message from Khufu"; of senior priv­ ileges and senior tables and outdoor club-room; of Class Day and the Kents Hill Cuties -- Strozier, Turcotte, and Crowley; of the spectacular fire one Tuesday night and the smell of burning potatoes for weeks afterwards; of Mollie's poems and Lissa's covers for the BREEZE issues; of final exams. . . And then the last weekend: the spring sports banquet and the movie and the senior prom on Saturday night, and in between, the feverish packing and cleaning and exchanging of addresses and pictures, so that when Sunday arrived, the last Sunday, we were almost too exhausted to enjoy it. And that too passed, with the accompaniment of graduation dresses and caps and gowns and Pomp and Cir­ cumstance. One hour after Commencement was finished, the campus was all but deserted. That's all there is, there ain't no more -- but we shall not forget the year at Kents Hill. rr V £3 I F ' J ( �a.

DEDICATION We dedicate this book to all the students and teachers especially of the Outing Club Work Groups, who with their own hands built the Kents Hill Goldthwaite Ski Tow. 4 ■ □0 �- L? -4 Davis, Silverman, D. Hinds, Ebelhare, Robertson. Brown and Cannon GOLDTHWAIT SKI TOW Kents Hill School has become the first school in the state of Maine to build a ski tow on its campus. The new rope tow is about seven hundred and fifty feet long and is powered by a ten horsepower electric motor. The erection of this tow marks the final step in the development of skiing as a major sport with us. Interest in skiing goes back to the early thirties when Ted Johnson of Portland, now Submaster at Portland High School came to Kents Hill as an instructor fresh out of Dartmouth College. Ted worked with skiers for the three years he was at Kents Hill, but interest declined with his leaving until skiing became little more than weekend recreation. In the fall of 1942 Kents Hill opened with a new Headmaster, William W. Dunn, whose previous experience as As­ sistant Headmaster at Vermont Academy led him to believe that Kents Hill's location was ideal for die development of skiing as a major sport. So, Lawrence "Pug" Goldthwait, a Dartmouth graduate, Olympic speedskater and a skier of note, was hired to teach science and develop the ski program. For two years Goldthwait's program was carried out on the Outing Club trail, a gentle slope leading to Lovejoy Pond a mile from the campus. Jumping, what there was of it, was conducted from banked snow. The trail was not wide enough to do much with slalom. In the fall of 1944 Goldthwait took a group from the Outing Club and worked with them in clearing the old Indian trail, located east of the campus. The hill sloped gradually then fell away sharply to Torsey Pond tor a natural ski area. The boys cleared the trail wide enough for a good slalom area, a jumping space, and a downhill trail almost a quarter of a mile long west of the salom area. At the same time other members of the Work Group were busy re­ vamping the old ski hill, connecting it with other existing trails for a three and one-half cross-country course. Goldthwait left in 1947 to teach at the University of Maine, and another Dartmouth man, Allan E. Boerker, took over and continued his work. That fall, the Work Group erected a twenty meter jump east of the slalom hill, and at the dedication ceremonies named it "Goldthwait Jump" in honor of the man who had worked so hard in behalf of Kents Hill skiing. SiDunklec,nationally known jumper and cross-country skier joined the Kents Hill staff in 1950 and was instrumen­ tal in the development of cross-country and jumping skiers. Si was given leave of aosence in 1951 to train with the U.S. Olympic ski team at Sun Valley and, although he did not go abroad with the team, he distinguished himself in national meets.

Mr. Broomhall, Mr. Goldthwait, Mr. Dunn, Mr. Boyden. Here goes! After Dunklee resigned in the spring of 1952 to enter private business, Charlie Broomhall of the skiing Broomhalls of Rumford, Maine, took over the Kents Hill ski program in the fall of 1952. Slim Broomhall is a nationally known skier, was a member of the Tenth Mountain Ski Troops during World War II, and for three years captained the Uni­ versity of Maine ski team. Mr. Broomhall found that the momentum necessary for a ski tow was already under way and with the assistance of Leigh Van Etten of the Faculty and a willing group of boys proceeded to construct the tow. Fund raising had been carried out by a student committee. Parents, friends, alumni, and students themselves con­ tributed. The Outing Club itself gave up their 1952 annual banquet and appropriated $100 toward the ski tow. One group of workers did the annual job of clearing the trails of underbrush; another group started on the tow. Twenty-five foot cedar poles were stripped. Holes four feet deep were dug by hand for the solid anchorage of the poles. A foundation for the motor's housing was dug and poured. A bulldozer cleared an area and poles were put m place. The house went up. The wheels were put up, me rope strung, and snow was the only commodity lacking. Kents Hill has produced some fine skiers. In recent years Ernie "Tin" Pentheny has become a professional and is now at Sun Valley. Dee Caldwell and Charlie Barrbecame members of ski teams at Bowdoin and Maine. Keith Brown, now a student, is a very promising skier. The girls, too, have a well-developed ski program. Miss Virginia Parker, a University of New Hampshire graduate, was girls'ski coach from 1946 to 1950, and Richard H. Leavitt, son of Vermont Academy Headmaster, Laurence G. Leavitt, headed the girls' program in 1951 and provided the initiative necessary to get the tow project underway. This year Mrs. Charles Broomhall, the former Ruth Hansen of Auburn, Maine, an accomplished skier in her own right, has taken over the girls' program. Skiing is now a major sport at Kents Hill. Of one hundred and fifty-five students enrolled this year, twenty-nve boys and twenty-three girls are skiers and others joined the group for recreational skiing. Kents Hill will continue to play host to the Maine Preparatory School Winter Carnival, and the Girls' School Winter Carnival but from this year on with the assurance that the Carnivals will be held on one of the finest ski facilities in Maine.

"Have you heard anything from our old classmates?" "Yes, I was watching television one night and saw the nation's Number One comedienne, Alice Trefethen." "Did you know Peggy Reeder flunked out of college?" "I have read where Dave Cadarett has taken over Dick Button's place in the Ice Follies."

Carole Cooper was playing the piano for them." "I was in Maine last summer and passed Norm Davis and his wife, the former Elaine Leighton, driv­ ing their custom-built Cadillac along the multi-million dollar Monhegan bridge Norm donated out of profits from one of his more prosperous fishing years with his boat, the Nyanza."

"That'sGrandpa whenhewasat KentsHill," you say. Rocking slowly, you begin to look through the pages, reminiscing as you go. "lean remember when I first went to Kents Hill," you say laughingly, "with the first few confusing days of classes, the football games in the crisp fall, the hard-fought field hockey games, the day we trekked across the leaf-covered fields and through the woods for our first glimpse of the Outing Club cabin, the glorious setting of Kents Hill and beau­ tiful lakes mirroring the bright colors of the foliage. And so the fall went. Then it was winter -- winter withits Christmas decorations and chimes pealing the familiar carols over the new-fallen snow. Our first mid-years we ap­ proached with nervousness mingled with curiosity as to how any teacher could make, or how we could take a test two hours long, and then the ordeal was over. The Winter Carnival came, the ski meets, hockey and basketball games, and the Snow Ball to which we went unsure and nervous. Before we realized it, spring had come. The campus maples were tapped, and the sound of a baseball hitting a mitt could be heard. Softball, baseball, tennis, and track were played. The spring went fast and commencement came. Nancy Nichols and Rachel Fogg were tied for highest aver­ age in our class for the whole year. We said 'goodby' to friends we had made and to those who would return next year. "We returned as sophomores. We could show around our new classmates, Pat King, skillful in athletics and choir, and Irene Adell, a regular member of the honor rolls and to become co-editor of the KENTS HILL BREEZE and business editor of the yearbook in her senior year. The life this year was familiar. The Winter Carnival was a great success with perfect snow conditions. We were old hands at exams by now. At the Winter Banquet, varsity hockey letters were awarded to Don Gatti and Dave Cadarett. Several of us went to the March Readfield town meeting and saw democracy and our politician storekeeper at work. The days passed swiftly. Kiki Kneeland won the Faculty prize for the neatest room. Marjorie Wight had the highest average for our class this year. "The next September found us greeting our old classmates and welcoming the new. Those who joined us were Connie Mitchell, Carol Westervelt, Peggy Reeder, Muriel Eldridge, Bill Cannon, and Brian Moore. This year brought the establishment of School Government. Don Lenfest and Marjorie Wight were elected to the council; Don Gatti and Muriel Eldridge to the supreme court. I can remember that trip to Rockland where we stuffed ourselves with all the clams and lobsters we could eat. Pat King and Muriel Eldridge excelled in "Icebound," and Nancy Nichols painted scenery and brought antiques. The choir gave a beautiful Christmas candlelight service and concerts for the Augusta Kiwanis and the Winthrop Rotary. Pat King produced the first carved leather handbag in the craft room. The fall banquet saw Dave Cadarett, Bill Cannon, Don Lenfest, Brian Moore and Pat King get their letters; Kiki Kneeland, her first stripe; Rachel Fogg and Nancy Nichols second stripes. After the inevitable mid-year exams came the Winter Carnival dance with its trading-post decorations and bear rug used to scare unsuspecting victims. And did we have a storm that winter! The day students, those who came, had to tramp to classes on skis or snowshoes, and the rest of us plowed from the dormitory through man-high snow drifts. And the shoveling! We got the parking lot finished just as the state snowplow came in to turn around. I can remember jumping off the gym roof into a snowbank and getting completely stuck. At the Winter Banquet many of us juniors were awarded prizes: hockey letters went to Dave Cadar­ ett and Don Gatti, ski letters to Bill Cannon, pins to Rachel Fogg, Elaine Leighton, and Nancy Nichols. Muriel Eld­ ridge received the Allan Nightingale trophy for the most improved skier. Spring in all its beauty was upon us again. Don Lenfest won third place in the state track meet. Peggy Reeder was elected president of the government; Don Lenfest and Pat King were house leaders; Bill Cannon, Don Gatti, Carol Westervelt, Muriel Eldridge, and Dave Cadar­ ett were council members. Norm Davis's father invited us on a boat trip to Monhegan Island, ten miles off the Maine coast, that spring. It was a stormy day, the boat rocked, and many of us were seasick. The visit to this lovely island wasworth it, though. The annual school song-writing contest revealed another talent of Nancy Nichols, who won first prize. Then, before we knew it, it was graduation at which Peggy Reeder had the highest average and received the Kreger prize. "Then we were seniors! We were occupying the places of those to whom we had looked up, admired, and imitated. What a gang we had! Judy Lincoln with loads of pep and an ability to draw, Dona Macaulay’s cheerful grin, Ginny Winslow's humor, and Carol Tasker's shy smile and quiet ways. Many boys joined us. too; Burrows Dolbeare from Florida who was in for quite a change of climate, Fred Buckley with his pitching ability, Arnie Buckley and his fine football playing, Keith Brown who entered the National, the Eastern, and United States Eastern Amateur Ski Associa­ tion meets, Dick Berry and his good nature, Ray Dube who won the center hockey trophy for the state of Maine, Doug Hinds who showed up at a formal dance in a butler's costume left over from a recent play. Bill Lynch and his faithful work on the publications and as co-editor of the successful KENTS HILL BREEZE, friendly Dick Pollard, Jack Warren's skill with a comb, Mel Tukey's horn, Nye Benis's cheerful spirit. Norm Schneider’s "Capture the flag" games, Gene Stone from West Paris, Frank Stone’s management of the dingingroom, and our authority on diamonds, Mai Stone. The long-awaited ski tow was completed and brightened our winter skiing. Our dramatists starred in a very wonderful "January Thaw." In the October elections Peggy Reeder was re-elected president, Muriel Eldridge and Keith Brown, houseleaders, and Pat King on the council. Keith Brown was king of the Winter Carnival with Bill Lynch, Don Gatti, Ray Dube, Peggy Reeder, and Pat King as seniors on his court. Carole Cooper was editor of the yearbook. The choir again gave a lovely candlelight service and a program to the Winthrop Rotary. The girls had an undefeated basketball team. Judy Lincoln and Brian Moore won foul-shooting contests. Nancy Nichols won the BREEZE essay contest on school life. After spring vacation the year really bolted for us seniors. There were our senior picnic, breakfast, ban­ quet, class meetings, and senior prom that led to our own graduation. I can remember that lump in my throat when we marched to "Pomp and Circumstance" in grey caps and gown—in with the tassles on one side and out with them on the other, for we had graduated! Yes, the time we had waited for so long was finally here. All the good times remain with me even now. Kents Hill will be with me as one of the most pleasant memories of all my days."

The curtain rises and discloses The stage on which we'll act our lives. The footlights seem to blind our sight. But .... a moment more .... We are accustomed to the light. We look beyond them now to see Our audience, our responsibility, That must not slip into obscurity. State fright? Perhaps we have. But we shall overcome it. We know our lines and here's our chance To show that we have done it. We'll live our parts, not merely say them As if they were just empty words. We may forget a line or two; We may ad lib a bit, And if we miss our cue. We have the stuff to make a hit. The smallest role may be the one That really makes the play. Each actor in this one great plot Has his own lines to say. And what reward do we gain then At the end of all successful scenes? Applause, perhaps, but most of all, The joy to us it means! 33 �■ * ■ I ir \ 2‘ < ■ k i �AWARDS The Readers Digest Prize awarded to Valedictorian Margaret R. Reeder.

As we walked for the last time under the pin trees and gazed into the eyes of our friends, we heard the Tower Bell. It had become a part of us, the link between the children that entered and the adults that emerged. In its tones we found the heri tage that was past and the promises that were to be. We listened and we understood. �DEDICATION I* ‘ ‘ Arthur A. Dexter We entered into his world as unthinking individuals; we emerged as beings of contemplation, capable of facing new horizons. He taught us the value of thought, symbolic of the medium of knowl­ edge, the way to understanding. By his examples we have grasped not the cold facts of academic learning, but the genuine knowl edge of life. He has inspired us to reason, to hope, to dream and to strive. Those in his classes have been privileged to glimpse a singular truth, that a duality of logic governs every issue. In teaching us to examine every aspect of a situation, we have become more conscious of formulating unbiased opinions. Both in the class­ room and on the athletic field we have felt him urging us on to more worthy accomplishments. We have discovered more than a teacher; we have left more than a friend. For his success in these endeavors: to teach, to advise and to inspire, we, the Class of 1963, take great pleasure in dedicating this yearbook to Mr. Arthur A. Dexter. 4 �‘‘ .* r Vi �FACULTY i *'? J u To the faculty the bell rang out a challenge to teach, to inspire, and to guide. They would not see the results of their labors nor would they be rewarded for their efforts to show us the magic of learning. Yet the knowledge they imparted to us would hence forth be a part of our destinies. And for them this would suffice. �It lit) C.U iOD* �WILLIAM WARREN DUNN HEADMASTER OF KENTS HILL SCHOOL Instructor of Psychology. A.B., Wes­ leyan Univ.; A.M., Brown Univ.; A.M. (Honorary), Colby College. The Class of 1963 owes immeasurable gratitude to our Headmaster, Mr. Dunn, for his guidance and sincere efforts which have enriched our lives here at Kents Hill. The challenge of his words in Chapel, "Never sell yourselves cheap, " will forever ring in our ears, and the example he has set by more than twenty years of service at Kents Hill will ever be a reminder that we must strive to repay his efforts with a part of our present and future.

It seemed to assure us that around the bend in the road was a future. The truths that had been instilled in our minds were to be used in the next chapter of our lives. Years in the past had simply been a prepara­ tion and suddenly it was time to use the knowledge that we had gleaned. With hope, with visions, with promise, the bell rang for the final time.

The Editorial Board POLARIS 1963 marks the twenty-fifth year of publication for POLARIS. Under the guidance of Mr. Edward H. Shuster, Editor-in-Chief, Ian Todhunter and a fine Editorial Board, varied innovations have been incorporated into the 1963 edition not only to improve the yearbook, but also to give a more complete representa­ tion of life at Kents Hill. From the first senior write-up to the final graduation picture, POLARIS '63 serves as a pictorial reminder of our final year at Kents Hill. The 1963 Staff Mr. Shuster stresses to editors that deadlines must be met at all costs. 42 �The 1963 School Newspaper Staff THE BREEZE The Kents Hill Breeze, now in its sixty-ninth year of publication, has con­ tinued its face-lifting job, which began in the Fall of 1961. Two of the editions in this second volume of the new Breeze have increased in the number of pages. Through the competence and relentless effort of Mr. Robert E. Browne, Faculty Advisor and Co-Editors, Joellen Knight and Charlotte Killam, the events of 1962-63, which have played an important part in our lives here, have found utterance on the printed page. THE EDITORS Left to Right: Gail Towner (News), Kevin Rooney (Copy), Anne Mil­ ler (Sports), Peggy Ellis (Features), Charlotte Killam (Co-Editor), Mr. Robert E. Browne (Faculty Advisor), Joellen Knight (CoEditor), Paul McLauchlan (Sports), Charles Parsons (Business), Ian Todhunter (Photography). I i! i i h Mr. Browne discusses galley proofs with Charlotte Killam and Joellen Knight prior to the final ship­ ment to the printer. 43 J �G.A.A. With a special goal in sight, the Girls' Athletic Association has had a most suc­ cessful year. A challenge to raise twenty­ thousand dollars for a girls' field house has been met by Alumni and friends, and the G.A.A. has played a major-role in raising the money. Under the guidance of Mrs. Jean Sickels, the officers spear-headed many functions to bring in more pennies. Events ranged from cake sales to jazz concerts. Two dances, including the exciting Christ­ mas Formal, highlighted the year's activi­ ties. B.E.R.P. Weekend, with the girls squiring the boys, furthered the cause of both boys and field house. A Spring Banquet saluting the Senior members culminated a fine year. I G.A.A. OFFICERS SEATED: Catherine Clark (Treasurer), Roberta Albree (President), Sandra Joseph (Secretary). STANDING: Mrs. Porter Sickels (Girls* Athletic Director). OUTING CLUB With the large membership of the Outing Club, all hard work soon paved the way to much fun. Under the direction of Mr. Gil­ bert Starks, the Executive Board organized the annual Boothbay Harbor trip in September. Trips to the Outing Club Cabin on Love­ joy Pond, cookouts, a ski outing in March to the Sunday River Ski Area in March and a trip to Reid State Park in May highlighted the year's activities. I J > I . / ,7 THE EXECUTIVE BOARD SEATED: Peter Zimmerman, Peggy Ellis, Benjie Grant, Dick Schlosser, Jo Wilson, Sue Dyer. STANDING: Will Wright, Dave Faile, Mr. Gil Starks, Cathy Clark. 44 �MAROON AND GRAY I "Reason is God's gift to man." The Maroon and Gray Key Society embodies this Greek principle ex­ pressed by Sophocles. As the Student Council of the school, it strives for better understanding between faculty mem­ bers and students. Rules, citizenship and over-all functioning of the school are their fore­ most considerations. The successful Com­ munity Chest Drive was a project of the Maroon and Gray. SEATED: David Faile, Roberta Albree, Benjamin Grant, Margaret Ellis. STANDING: Susan Dyer, David Irwin, Richard Schlosser, Theodore Alfond, Catherine Clark, Barbara Rumsey.

M yrr!' �FALL nt I �FOOTBALL I SI fif With a mere six returning lettermen from last year's undefeated team, hopes for another successful season were far from high. The 1963 team was confident that it could win and its 4-2 record, although not spectacular, reflected good team work and able guidance from the coaches. From last year's team there was Ted Alfond at quarterback who had the difficult task of directing this inexperienced squad; he is to be praised for the way he master-minded the offensive attack. John Walker, at left end, turned in an outstanding job. "Hawkeye" will be remembered for his timely brutal blocks and as an excellent pass receiver. Buster Pupkis added another fine year as tackle, coming on strong when the team needed him most. Dick O'Connor was the iron man of the line, playing at center. He could always be depended on for his usual good performance. Newcomers to the squad were "Big" Tom Davis at fullback who was always able to grind valuable yardage. Dick Sproul, left halfback, had admirable running ability and speed. Dick averaged 6 yards per carry. Woody Porter, right halfback, was an excellent receiver and when in the open could run like a deer. A wel­ come sight to the line was hard-hitting Herb White who was a dread to any opposing team. As guards were Buzz Cushing and Peter Dore, both of whom made outstanding contributions to the team. At right end were Charlie Walker and Skip Fucillo. Substitutions were John Sex­ ton, at tackle, and Charlie Walker, Cole Kelly, Vi pl rd 6* 42 �and Dunham Rowley in the backfield. Getting into the season, Dore, Cushing, and White led the team in tackles. Sproul, Porter, and Walker controlled the end sweeps. This contingent held the opposition to ten touch­ downs and displayed a rough and aggressive brand of football. The 1963 grid team opened its season with a thriller, defeating St. Johnsbury in the final moments 13-7. Without the services of three post-grads who were unable to play, Kents Hill showed a desire to win. A "Ted Alfond to John Walker" pass, with eight seconds remaining, covered the final 26 yards of the 60 drive to victory. The victory showed a splendid team effort. Alfond scored the other T-D on a quarter­ back sneak, and Dick Sproul went over for the extra point. Alfond completed 12 out of 20 passes with Walker gaining 109 yards on pass plays. At Brunswick, the next week, the Hilltoppers showed poorly on the wind-swept field. Kents Hill suffered a 20-6 defeat. Due to a large number of penalties and sloppy plays, Kents Hill never could get its offensive machine rolling. Dick Sproul went over for the T-D late in the fourth quarter. The next game was the Hilltoppers1 Homecoming game against Tilton School. In the 80degree heat, against the heavily manned Tilton team, they went all out for a 18-12 victory. Dick Sproul started the Hilltoppers rolling with 4L, FIRST ROW: W. Pupkis, C. Kelly, T. Alfond, T. Davis, H. White, R. O'Connor, L. Porter, D. Rowley, J. Walker, C. Walker, R. Sproul. SECOND ROW: J.

Tom Davis scored the third and final one from three yards out. This game was won by sheer hustle and guts; it will be remembered for its rough­ ness and hard-hitting. Although a triumph, the game proved costly because Ted Alfond was lost for the season with a broken collar bone. Charlie Walker was given the duty. The next game was at Brewster. Kents Hill's varsity eleven reached its offensive peak against Brewster, 32-16. The Hilltoppers wasted no time in scoring ■with end Fucillo combining with Sproul from 45 yards out, and then Sproul pitched to Fucillo for the 2 points making it 8-0. Sproul sprinted 40 yards down the sidelines for the second T-D. Porter added the third from 4 yards out. The next time it was a 20 yard pass from Charlie Walker to Herb White, with Dun­ ham Rowley closing out the scoring by sweeping around end from 20 yards out. The Hilltoppers next journeyed to Hebron Academy where they were defeated 22-6. Playing on a wet field, the Hilltoppers never could get a drive going. Hebron, fired up for the game, won it quite easily. In the closing minutes of the game, Dick Sproul hit John Walker with a 35 yard pass play for Kents Hill's only score. Kents Hill closed out its season by defeating previously unbeaten Berwick Academy 8-0. The Hilltoppers lost its second string quarter­ back Charlie Walker during the week, and Cole Kelly took over this duty. Cole played an outstanding game. The Hilltoppers scored early in the first period and then dug in to keep its goal lines uncrossed. Dick Sproul scored on a 40 yard run. Woody Porter and Dick Sproul did most of the running the second half, eating up valuable time. Again a great team effort was shown. During the season, the team displayed a keen determination to win, as shown by the two upsets over Tilton and Berwick. Dick O'Connor and Ted Alfond were elected co­ captains and Ted Alfond was the recipient of the football plaque. 44 �Season Record Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill 1 f r I lb _ -_T7si. _ 45 13 6 18 32 6 8 St. Johnsbury Brunswick Tilton Brewster Hebron Berwick 7 20 12 16 22 0 �i o MH . -■ • • >v'.'

Junior Varsity Football The first few days of the football season were days of confusion and awkwardness. The backfield, not knowing how to receive handoffs, fumbled habitually, and the line threw ineffec­ tive blocks. Football, too, had its language barrier. "Banana Right" or "T-44" meant noth­ ing to many of the inexperienced players on the squad. However, with the assistance of our com­ petent coaches, Mr. Stowell and Mr. Russell, the team quickly overcame these obstacles and mastered the fundamentals of football — block­ ing and tackling. We were then taught the plays with their running patterns and blocking assign­ ments. After a week and a half of hard work, the team began functioning as a unit. The debut for the J. V. squad was against Dixfield and it was a bad start. Dixfield won, 24-0. During this game, we seemed to be fight­ ing a rash of injuries. Tom Daggett was put out for the season with a cracked rib and various other players were in and out of the game with other minor injuries. Jim Smart played an out­ standing game. If he was not cracking through the line on offensive, he was firing up the de­ fense. Our next game was a return against Dixfield. This time we were determined to win, and win we did, 25-17. John Chute was benched for the remaining season with a damaged kneecap. Cole Kelly was our star this game. His line bucks were always good for yardage, and he was usually behind those long passes. Our third game, against Hall-Dale, was a tense 20-20 tie. We entered the fourth quarter, score 20-20 and tension multiplied right up to the gun. Tom Milliken starred defensively, being in on most of the tackles. Wayne Gifford played his best game offensively, opening the scoring with a 15 yard T-D. During our fourth and final game of the season, against Jay, Jim Punderson and Dunham Rowley led us to victory, with two scores over their one, 14-7. 46 �As one can see by the numerous names men­ tioned above, there was no particular star on the J. V. team. Our season record of 2-1-1 was obviously due to a team effort. With only six starters returning, and a squad composed mainly of underclassmen, this year's soccer team could not rely on individual stars. The players resolved at the season's outset that, lacking exceptional skill, they would depend upon "guts" — a worn-out term that represents nonetheless the most effective weapon in sports. At first, the situation looked somewhat doubtful. Although the front line was strong, we needed a fullback and two halfbacks. Some ex-football boys, who decided to give soccer a try, proved very cap­ able in filling these defensive positions. 5/ n~ rfrfcl■*" ■ ~ �F - » J •' r4 —SOCCER ■ c ■ • M LX. The team traveled to Waterville for its first game with Cobum and came back with a 4-1 victory. Al­ though we got off to a poor start, Peter Weeks came through with three goals to spark the team to vic­ tory. Buoyed up by its victory against Coburn, the team traveled to MCI for its second game of the season. K. H. won the hard-fought game by a score of 5-4. George Colburn, as well as Bob Bob­ skill, scored two goals each, and Winky Andresen scored one. At Hebron, Kents Hill won 2-0. Giff Ewing scored one goal and the other, credited to Captain Paul McLauchlan, was actually scored by the cap­ tain of the Hebron team. In trying to save a goal, he accidentally kicked it into his own goal. 48 ‘ �Much to everyone's surprise, Kents Hill defeated Colby Frosh in a very close and tense game. The goals were scored by Colburn and McLauchlan. Hinckley fell under the charge of our now ex­ perienced soccer team, 2-1. Andresen and Bobskill scored. Kents Hill downed NYA 5-0 with goals scored by Andresen, Weeks, Bobskill, Dade, and Biggs on a penalty kick. When the team met MCI for the second time, it was on our own soil. Cheered on by students and team members, Kents Hill scored three times in the second quarter and once in the fourth. Weeks, Mc­ Lauchlan, Filson, and Weeks again, in that order, scored for Kents Hill. McLauchlan, Weeks, and Colburn booted the goals for Kents Hill, as Hinckley was defeated, 3-1. With a record of eight wins and no losses, the team then lost two in a row to St. Doms, 0-1 and 1-2. Andresen scored the only K. H. goal. Kents Hill met a superior Bowdoin Frosh. The team once again was defeated 2-5. The team was behind 0-5 at one point but McLauchlan and Andresen came back to score one goal apiece. The Kents Hill soccermen defeated their arch­ rival, Hebron, 3-0. After the Hilltoppers scored on the field in the first 36 seconds of the game, Weeks scored twice and Bob Bobskill once in the game that saw K. H. end its season with a 9-3 record. The 1963 achievement just about places Kents Hill in the Number One position among the state prep schools. The team's 9-3 record puts it in second place in the league, just tenths of a point behind the leader. The team came through with several firsts — for the first time, it overcame Colby, for the first time, it defeated Hebron twice in a season, and it compiled one of the most im­ pressive records the school had ever had in soccer.

Junior Varsity Soccer On Homecoming, Hebron came to Kents Hill. The Hilltoppers won this one 4-2. Charles BeVier scored twice; Jeff Coan and Bill Paton scored the other goals for Kents Hill. Others doing a good job were Jeff Goodhue, Eliot Bridge, and Dick Clark. Next, K. H. took on a weak Hinckley team, trouncing them 6-1. Ted Steiger, Charlie Clement, Charles BeVier (twice), and Coan scored for us. Once more at Hinckley, K. H. sneaked by with a 2-0 win. Ted Steiger and Tom Hall scored. John Miller returned and did another fine job in the nets. Thus, an undefeated season came to a close — proving what can be done in limited time by a lot of purposeful effort. This year’s J. V. soccer team did not begin the season with much anticipation of success. Built around a small nucleus of returning lettermen and a large group of inexperienced boys, the first weeks of practice threw an ominous shadow on the forthcoming season. Our coaches, Mr. Dorsey and Mr. Gowen, worked hard to develop a strong line and backfield. After countless hours of drilling and scrimmages, the team was somewhat prepared to meet Hebron. Kents Hill took the first game 3-0 with Ted Steiger, Marshall Lamb, and Bill Paton scoring for the victors. John Miller played an excellent game in the goal, making some brilliant saves. Ted Steiger and Marshall Lamb scored in our 3-0 win over MCI. Eliot Bridge, substituting for John Miller, did a commendable job. 51 �Season Record Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill 3 3 0 10 2 8 0 2 3 3 2 0 Dixfield MCI Wilton Gould F armington Hinckley Cony Dixfield MCI Wilton F armington Cony 2 0 0 1 0 0 2 2 2 2 0 0 Flkl D HOCKFY With many promising underclassmen and ex­ perienced seniors, the varsity field hockey team had a successful season. Sue Jordan and Kathy Gorham covered the alleys for us, scoring 4 1/2 goals between them. They both assisted the other forwards many times. Although she did switch to wing occasionally, Cilla Powers was our regular right inner, scoring 2 1/2 goals. Sue Dyer started out as the center, switching off to right inner from time to time. She did well in the scoring line-up, poking in 7. Connie Elvin tied for high scorer with 10 goals. She was an all-star candidate. As she played well all season, only missing one game, Connie made the all-star first team. Sue Wells, starting as a utility forward, showed her strength from the very beginning and became a member of the starting line-up in any forward posi­ tion. With 10 goals to her credit, she tied with Connie Elvin for high scorer. Our captain was Anne Miller. In every game, her voice could be heard, always leading the team on. She had several assists and scored the only half­ back goal. Brenda Potter, center half, was the most im­ proved player, picking up several traits from the International Game. Although she developed a good' drive, she was especially outstanding in ball-control. Joanne Bass, starting left half, had a very power­ ful drive. At half time, Judi Howe took over the position, showing a lot of spirit. Terry Saunders was a varsity player in September; however, due to injuries, she could no longer play. She cheered us with enthusiasm. Our two fullbacks, Polly Farnham and Paula Murphy, protected our goalie many times. Aggres­ sive and capable players, they both succeeded in keeping the ball on the other end more than half the time. 40 52 �During our twelve-game season, Goalie Arlene Killam, the plaque winner, was scored on only eleven times in sixty-eight attempts. Some of her saves were at times incredible. As the seniors move on, we lose our veteran players. Yet, next year looks promising; seven underclassmen remain and several outstanding J. V. 's will vie for varsity positions. J. Bass, S. Wells, P. Powers, S. Jordan, B. Potter, A. Miller, P. Murphy, K. Gorham, A. Killam, C. Elvin, M. Farnham, J. Howe, T. Saunders, S.

"Sticks, Pec Wee" still rings in the ears of all the J.V. players. Deidre, one of our center for­ wards, was always barging through our opponent's defense and "Kids, let's get some team work" was heard in the forward and halfback lines. Until she was disabled, Mary' Kidney was our goalie during the first part of the season. Ever since Miss Ramsdell tied her feet, she has kept them together. We had two members who played with die varsity — Joanne Wilson and Daryle Shaw. Joanne was always ready to play any position assigned and, when we lost Mary, Joanne readily switched from fullback to goalie. Daryle was always in fighting and her opponent rarely got die ball past her. Elizabedi Shepard, who joined us in die middle of the season, showed ability as a fullback. The J.V. squad of 1963 elected Deidre Beedy and Hope Jahn as co-captains. Although J.V. field hockey did not have a vic­ torious season, the team improved a good deal through the excellent instruction of Miss Ramsdell and Miss Adams. Our record of 3 wins, 2 ties, and 6 losses speaks for itself. 55 �FALL TENN8S < a KNEELING: R. Cook, D. Dunlap, P. Cole, N. Hill, T. Morse, J. Stanchfield, S. Alfond, S. Wil­ bur, D. Lairton, V.

The hill was all in a flurry, as we dashed around making new ac­ quaintances and greeting our old ones; it was not until the very next day — as classes actually began — that we could believe our summer vacation was really over. Raining weather prevailed throughout our first weekend and our traditional lobster feed on the coast had to be cancelled. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our lobsters at the Outing Club cabin and worked off the big meal in spirited sports contests. The call to the mountains did not go long un­ heeded, and without a second thought, the Outing Club found itself thirty minutes out on the sevenmile trail over Balpate Mountain. Finally most of us made it, and (they said) the view from the top was terrific. In this rarefied world, couples spent carefree hours searching for big game and making leaf collections. k L L' fc • Homecoming weekend, October 18 and 19, came before we knew it. We all welcomed and enjoyed visits from our families, friends, and alumni. Highlighted by an 18-12 football victory over Tilton Academy and a 2-0 win over Hebron, this eventful weekend ended in a dance put on by the Outing Club, "Hunters1 Holliday. " Newton Gym was decorated with cattails, decoys, and wild animal skins. The couples shuffled to the tunes of the latest recordings, slow ones at the request of weary but victorious athletes. A variety of delicious pies were served from the "Hunters' Shack. " ytk P L. I -q �The new Folk Singing Society, under the direction of Mr. Russel Higgins, punctuated our fall season with good entertainment. On November 1, a hoote­ nanny was held in Newton Gym — a hooting success — vastly appreciated by the student body. An ex­ clusive group of traveling folk singers was later formed, singing for their supper at churches and like get-togethers off campus. The G. A. A.-sponsored "girl ask boy" dance, "Banana Wipeout, " transformed our gym into an exotic land, complete with palm trees, monkeys, and colorful murals. Hawaiian girls in grass skirts graciously put leis on each couple as they entered. Banana splits added the finishing touch to a pleasur­ able evening. V" . I! / Ad '-a ’ ._______ r___ — The annual Community Chest Drive, November 18-22, brought in the lucrative Slave Days. The fund raising directors catered to our vigorous appetite which helped, in no small measure, to meet our goal. Cakes and Italian sandwiches were snatched at auctions; students, struggling with a heavier homework load, stumbled out of study hall to be hypnotized into buying food and more food.

The first, SORRY, WRONG NUMBER, portrayed the futile life of a neurotic invalid. This demanding role was fulfilled by Sue Neal. The second was A CHRISTMAS CAROL, with Tom Sparks playing Ebenezer Scrooge, the old miser who at last under­ stood the message of faith and charity. President Kennedy's death darkened the Kents Hill scene. A great gap was left in our hearts. His unrelenting energy and incessantly inquiring mind had made him a friend of youth. Left alone, we wondered . . . Could we live up to his legacy — the challenge of ever redefining our ideas and be in meaningful harmony with the needs of our age? 61 �*'v' * ■ ,.

With only two regulars returning from last year's undefeated squad, this year's basketball team was handicapped by lack of experience. Newcomer Doug Filson, 6'5" center, was dependable off the boards and a consistent scorer. John Walker, a three-year veteran on the hill, gained his fame with an accurate shot and good all-around play. Tiny Tom Davis, 235 pounds of muscles, made his way in for many a rebound; he also contribu­ ted a good deal to team spirit. By putting out a steady effort through­ out the season, Woody Porter proved worthy of his promotion to the starting five. Ted Alfond, varsity guard for four years, sparked the team with his unyield­ ing drive. The season opened with a game against Hebron. Although we trailed by as much as 17 points, we rallied to within 2 points. However, Hebron held on to its slim lead and won, 59-55. Ted Alfond and John Walker led the scoring with 14 and 12 points respectively. 64 �f I The team journeyed to Bangor for its first victory against Husson College J.V. 's, 77-65. Doug Filson, who played an outstanding game and pulled down numerous rebounds, led the scoring with 25 points. Ted Alfond and Tom Davis followed with 14.

Thomas College provided the opposition in our next game which we lost, 95-65. Doug Filson and Tom Davis led the scoring. In our next game, Hinckley proved to be an easy victim. We won, 120-51. We had six boys in the "double figures" with Charlie Walker and Doug Fil­ son scoring 28 and 20 respectively. Then came the second game with Berwick. After leading throughout the first three periods, we bowed to a fourth period onslaught by Berwick and lost, 74-67. High scorers were Ted Alfond and John Walker with 17 and 16 points respectively. Our second game against North Yarmouth Academy was an 84-65 victory. Kents Hill showed a well-balanced attack with Filson and Charlie Walker scoring 19 and 18 points in that order and two others in double figures. A revitalized Husson J. V. team defeated Kents Hill by a score of 76-74. This game was won in the last ten seconds by a long punt shot which was un­ believable.

After opening fast, we steadily fell behind and could not catch up. The home cause was weak and hampered by the loss of Ted Alfond earlier in tire game. Those graduating this year will be Ted Alfond, John Walker, Woody Porter, and Dick O'Connor, valuable defensive specialist. However, next season's team should put on a good show. Charlie Walker returns with a fine out­ side shot and two years of experience. "Rabbit" Sproul and Doug Biggs have also gained experience this year; sophomore Cole Kelly is a good prospect for next year's starting line-up and with Filson and Davis, the outlook is good. The team elected John Walker as captain, and Ted Alfond as the recipient of the plaque. 'WJflltr ^15 fij J_J Junior Varsity Basketball / Mr. Wilson, D. Kenley, D. Dillon, J. Smart, H. Turner, J.

Gerry Murphy added scoring punch to David Irwin and Peter Weeks on the first line while Skip Fucillo gave experience to underclassmen, Jeff Coan and George Pratt, on the second line. The defense was bolstered by the hard-hitting of Herb White and Peter Dore, and Jon Holmes gave solid backstopping to a well-balanced team. Unluckily, soft ice hampered the team through­ out the season. Only by a continual display of en­ thusiasm and hustle was the squad able to hold up so well. The Hilltoppers dropped their first game by a 2-1 count at Dixfield. St. Dorns handed the home forces a 3-1 defeat, but not without being repeat­ edly put down by Herb White and Pete Dore.

Two quick goals gave Colby College a hard fought win over Kents Hill, with Jon Holmes mak­ ing 31 stops in the nets. Hebron beat Kents Hill 2-1 in a game slowed by ice conditions and blanketed with penalties. The Hilltoppers gave it their all and the game was not decided until the final minutes, as Hebron scored when Kents Hill was short two men. Jeff Coan scored the lone Kents Hill goal, In Lewiston, Kents Hill played Edward Little. In a fast moving game, Kents Hill came home with a 4-1 defeat. Skip Fucillo scored the only goal, with Jon Holmes making 28 saves in the net. With no ice for three days, Kents Hill was up-ended by Lewiston, 6-2, and Dave Irwin did all the scoring for the team.

The first period was scoreless, but Kents Hill broke loose in the second and third periods with scores coming from Skip Fucillo, Peter Dore, and Gerry Murphy. The North Yarmouth goalie had to scramble for 36 minutes under the constant bombardment of 45 shots while Holmes needed to turn back only 10 in recording his second shut-out. Edward Little traveled to the Hill only to be turned back by a 2-1 score at the hands of Dave Irwin and company. Dave scored both goals, one in each of the final two periods. Kents Hill's icemen provided the home fans with the offensive output of the season against North Yar­ mouth in the season's finale. The Blue Devils of North Yarmouth were crushed 15-0. Skip Fucillo led the cause with four goals while Gerry Murphy and Herb White both registered hut tricks; Jon Holmes chalked up his third shut-out and assisted Skip in one of his 4 goals. Against stiff competition, Kents Hill finished the season with a 5-6 record. The defensive unit of Herb White and Pete Dore and Jon Holmes in nets must be commended. This trio held the opposition to a 1.9 goal average. The two offensive units, averag­ ing 3 goals a game, were led by Gerry Murphy who scored 18 points. The team awarded the plaque to Gerry Murphy who inspired the team with his good sportsmanship r and fine play throughout the season. Dave Irwin and Gerry Murphy were elected to represent the team as co-captains. Coaches Stowell and Neary did a fine job and received the respect and admira­ tion of the entire team. At graduation, the team loses regulars Dave Irwin, Skip Fucillo, and Herb White, along with the services of hardened veterans Fred Spencer, Sandy "Harvard's next captain" Dwinell, and John McCarty. However, good men are returning next year. Forwards Murphy, Weeks, Coan, Colhoun, and Pratt, defenseman Dore, and goalie Holmes should provide the balance and depth needed for a strong club. ■ BE er ■■ 70 �£ Season Record Kents HUI Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents HiU Kents Hill Kents Hill 1 1 1 4 0 1 1 2 3 2 15. 2 3 0 2 2 2 4 6 0 1 0 Dixfield St. Donis Waterville Hebron Colby Frosh Hebron Edward Little Lewiston North Yarmouth Edward Little North Yarmouth — 71 �KNEELING: L.

GIRLS’ SKIING Even with a limited amount of snow at their disposal, the girls' ski team set up practice courses and conscien­ tiously began to work. During Christmas vacation, many skied, in an effort to prepare for the first meet with Gould and Farmington, on January 11th. Considering the scantiness of the snow, the Farmington slope was in a fair state. Unfortunately, for the first time in seven years, Kents Hill was defeated by Gould. In the slalom and for Kents Hill, Judi Howe placed first, Joanne Bass, second, and Jo Wilson, third. We won the giant slalom, Judi Howe placing first, Joanne Bass, second, Deidre Beedy, third, and Martha White, fourth for us. The results were very close, and as disappointed as we were, we were all eager to win the next time. The snow refused to fall and many of our scheduled meets had to be cancelled. The next meet, which we were able to attend, was with Gould at Sunday River, on January 18th. Although the slalom course was long and tiresome, Joanne Bass came in first for us, followed by Susan Dyer, Dee Beedy, and Judi Howe. Gould beat us in the slalom, but we pulled through with a victory in the giant slalom, Joanne Bass coming in first for us, followed by Judi, Dee, and Jo. However, Gould was far enough ahead in the slalom to defeat us. Our next meet was with Wilton, Auburn, and Bridgton at Lost Valley. Kents Hill was victorious. In the giant slalom, Dee Beedy came in first for us, and overall; Joanne Bass placed second for us, Sue Dyer, third, Jo 76 �Wilson, fourth, and Martha White, fifth. The slalom was just as successful. Dec placed first for us and second overall, Joanne second for us and third overall, Sue Dyer third for us, and Martha White fourth for us. Wilton Academy sent Dee a trophy for her lead in the giant slalom. February 19th was D-Day. We had a title to defend at the annual Girls' State Meet at Sunday River. Anx­ iety was everywhere, everyone was tense . . . The rugged course became rutted when over forty girls raced it. Joanne Bass did considerably well in the slalom. She placed first for us and sixth overall. Dee Beedy came in second for us and eighth overall. Judi Howe came in third for us, Martha White, fourth, and Sue Dyer, fifth. We lost the slalom by quite a margin. Now, we all knew that it was "win the G. S. or bust!" The giant slalom was a long course, and a fast one, but it HAD to be won. The results were promising. Joaiuie Bass placed first for us and fourth overall, Judi Howe placed second for us and fiftli overall, Dee Beedy placed third for us and sixth overall, Martha White placed fourth for us, and Sue Dyer, fiftli. W'e won the G. S., but it was not enough to offset the deficit in the slalom. We lost our title, and placed fourth. The new champion was Rumford. Hurt, we resolved to try harder next year.

Although the team opened the season with a disappointing loss, 32-29 to MCI, it made a strong comeback in the following game with Jay, winning by a substantial margin, 44-17. In these first two games, Sue Wells led with 14 points against MCI and 17 points against Jay. With Wilton, the team suffered its second defeat, 36-25. Cathy Lancaster scored 15 points. Kents Hill continued with its losing streak, as the next two games were lost to the talented teams of Winthrop and Cony -- 47-31 and 35-33 respectively. Cathy Lancaster and Sue Wells led tire scoring. At last, the team proved what it could do, with a stunning victory against Farmington, 53-14. Cathy Lancaster scored 18 points and Sue Jordan 13 points. One of the highlights of the season was the win over MCI during Winter Carnival, with a score of 26-22. In this exciting game, Cathy was again the high scorer. For the second time in the season, Winthrop sent Kents Hill down to defeat, 42-35. Cathy scored 15 points. I j 78 �Hence forward, the team began to roll. It out­ scored Wilton, 47-28. Especially outstanding in this victory was Cathy who scored 30 points. Cony was the next victim. The game was close and hard-fought throughout, but the Kents Hill girls managed to defeat a hot-shooting opponent to the tune of 35-34. Sue Wells who displayed her talent at setting up plays, scored 13 points. The last season cncoiuiter with Jay was Kents Hill's best game statistically, 67-14. The team got' up tire re and put on a show and more. When the final buzzer sounded, even’ girl had broken into the scoring column. Cathy, once again, led with 17 points. With 161 points to her credit, Cathy had a re­ markable season. Sue Wells followed with 89 points and Sue Jordan with 73 points. In tire forward position, Anne Miller and Ar­ lene Killam showed their capabilities by scoring several points each. A very fine job was done by Guards Betty Shepard, Luella Carter, and Connie Elvin. Sue Wells was elected captain and Connie El­ vin -was the recipient of the plaque. 1 79 �Season Record — Varsity Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill Kents Hill 29 44 25 31 33 53 26 35 47 35 67 MCI Jay Wilton Winthrop Cony Farmington MCI Winthrop Wilton Cony Jay 32 17 36 47 35 14 22 42 28 34 14 �J.V.

" For the occasion, the gym acquired a low balsam ceiling, lighted trees, a jack-in-the-box, a "Night before Christmas" scene, and a gift-laden sleigh. And so it was that our first trimester came to a close on December 18th amid cheerful wishes for the Holiday Season — and sighs of relief from many. Due to traffic jams, car trouble, missed connections, and the usual family emergencies, January 6th found the Kents Hill School population slowly returning from the New Year's festivities. In spite of these delays and a transient-snow season, the winter term finally got under swing. Our Winter Carnival took place on the January 31-February 1 week end. On the first evening, Thursday, our cheerleaders held a sports rally which was followed by a movie. Then, on Friday, after rising at the unheard-of hour of 9 A.M. , we had a busy day of sports events, a picnic, the crowning of Queen Anne Miller and King Edward Andresen. To the dismay of the campus con­ servatives, we tripped gaily into darkness, across the woods to whiz about on skates at Lovejoy Pond. Frost-bitten, we trod back to safety and warmth, to cocoa and dancing in the dining room. Saturday's activities included more sports and the judging of the snow sculptures. The Carnival dance, "Bobsled Bonanza, " took place in a landscape glittering with myriads of snowflakes. Royalty and aristocracy made their grand entrance, at which time Queen Anne announced that "Marlboro Man" — Wesleyan Style -- was the winner. With eggnog and cake, another fun-filled Carnival week end became history. 82 �' t ■ • b now A - TIL ;2.;J THEATPi SHPtl.'' ''' /-r’l'V: --W ■ ■i “S' J Sponsored by tire G. A.

For a brief instant, anarchy became die keynote, as "The Bugs" were mobbed. Later, a movie was shown in the sanctity of Ricker Hall. The following evening, in a rock garden, amid butterflies, birds, and bees, merry couples, dressed in bright spring clodies, enjoyed anodier dance at Newton Gym. Our tummies, being sacred, we downed Italian sandwiches and drank lemonade by die gallon. L h. �As the opening melodies of KISS ME, KATE burst forth into the audience, on that first big night, it was apparent that the group, which had survived tryouts and four weeks of rehearsals, had been transformed into a remarkably entertaining talent. There had been long afternoons of trials and errors, all tire striving to portray a world which had 'WO p\( to live through songs and movements. There had been many Sundays of pounding, painting scenery, making posters, and setting lights. Then, mi­ raculously, on opening night, green players were performing with the quality of a theatrical troupe. KISS ME, KATE enjoyed three successful pre­ sentations — in spite of some technical difficulties. Twice, curtains fell on tire heads of overly hasty actors. The little bird, which had been shot at each performance, finally succumbed. 84 �TH£ W Each night ended with a surprise. Before the townspeople, our leading lady, Dcidre Beedy, was presented a bouquet of long-stemmed roses. On the day-student night, the birthday of oiir leading man, Tom Sparks, was celebrated with a lighted cake and a song. The third performance was dedi­ cated to the Higgins' last year at Kents Hill. A gift was presented to them as the audience and cast sang "Auld Lang Sync. " Like a firework display, KISS ME, KATE had exploded in three nights of brilliance, leaving us filled with wonder. 4 85 �bJ f '' L .

Tire nucleus of the team was built around returning lettermen: Pete Weeks, Dave Irwin, Woody Porter, Tom Sparks, Cole Kelly, Charlie Walker, and Buzz Cush­ ing. Geny Murphy ably filled tire backstop spot while Skip Fucillo took over in the right field area. The team rolled over its first opponents, Water­ ville, 10-4. Then the hard-hitting Cony team came to town and handed Kents Hill its first defeat, 3-1. Despite a good pitching effort from left-hander Doug Biggs, the Kennebec champions' strength could not be offset. Next, the team traveled to Hebron. Charlie Walker turned in a shut-out performance on the mound while the bats of Charlie Clements and Buzz Cushing cracked circuit clouts for an 8-0 decision. Hinckley and NYA were the next victims, 12-5 and 10-0 respectively. Kents Hill also out­ lasted a strong MCI team, 6-5. The second encounter with a much improved Hebron team yielded a close score. By the 13th inning, the score was 1-1. Then, Charlie Walker, the winning pitcher, nailed the game down and the Big Green boys left with a 2-1 setback. Again, Cony went home with a 5-4 final-inning victory. Next, tire Hilltoppers slipped past HallDale, 9-8. Hinckley was crushed, 28-1. Skip Fucillo and Cole Kelly led the attack, each hitting a home run and two doubles. In the last two encounters, K. H. bowed to Waterville, 3-1, and to NYA, 3-2. r -- -I V . • - ■ ■ At the sports banquet, Captain Charlie Walker received the plaque while the team presented several gifts to Coach Meyers and "Pop" Sickels to express its thanks for their patience and guidance. „ *_____ SEATED: G.

Baseball I Our pre-season activities consisted of infield and batting practice in the gym, where we became accustomed to our positions and started to develop our batting eye. From the gym, we moved to the diamond as the weather improved. We soon found that tire ball bounces differently on the soft turf than on the asphalt tile of tire gym. This problem, however, was soon overcome. We had daily batting and fielding practice and as die season progressed we practiced hitting curve balls, which proved to be more difficult dian it looked. Our first game, an 11-2 defeat against Gardiner, was lost mainly due to inexperience. However, it was not lost in vain for it showed us and our coach, Mr. Stowell, die points on which we needed practice. After having improved those faults, evident in die previous game, we were victorious, 18-5, over die Cony ball team. We played well at Waterville, al­ though we lost 5-3. Our next game, die first of an eight game winning streak, was a 6-1 victory over Winthrop. From Winthrop we traveled to Leavitt, where we were victorious, 7-3. This win came mainly from a tight infield and good pitching by John Chute. Then we went to Cony, where Chic I 4 K* 1 'V't Cl SEATED: J. Smart, W. Schultze, D. Dillon, D. Read, R. Gcrace, K.

John Chute pitched an excellent game and our team had another good day at bat. The next games of importance were against Gardiner and Waterville, both victorious earlier against us. At Gardiner, the score was 9-7, our favor, in the bottom of the last inning. Gardiner had, one man out and a man on third; however, tire next two batters popped and grounded out. Against Water­ ville, BeVier pitched a good game and we were leading 4-2 in die top of die scvendi inning. They scored a run on an error, but die infield tightened up and held diem for a 4-3 victory. We finished die season widi a 9-2 record, which can be attributed to team effort. .

The record, 1 v.in and 5 losses, was poor. In spite of tliis losing record, the squad had a good component of hard-hitting individuals who gained experience and made some personal achievements. Doug Filson, plaque winner and top point man, steadily improved in the pole vault, high jump, shot put, and hurdles. Captain Dick Sproul obtained many points in the 100 and 220. He also competed in the discus and broad jump. Charles Crocker took several places in the mile. Bill Paton, only a sophomore, improved amazingly in the 440 and took second in tire State Meet at Hebron with a time of 54.2. Herb White, a lacrosse boy, came to the State Meet without any practice to heave the shot put 50' 7" for a first; he also took a second in the discus and a fourth in the javelin. ■ 1 ' KNEELING: R.

The first game was lost gallantly to Hinckley, 3-2. After a hard-pitched battle, the second encounter of the season was lost to Hebron, 1-0. In the third game, the strong "Bowdoin boys" outran, outscored, and crushed Kents Hill, 11-1. Larry Orr scored the lone goal. After a bone-jarring ride, Kents Hill fought Hinckley and lost again, 4-1. Now with some experience under their belts, the Kents Hill boys attacked and squelched Hebron, 4-1, with Larry Orr, John Walker, Jim Punderson, and Bill Moody in the scoring column. In this final game, Kents Hill's first lacrosse team had lost much of its initial clumsiness. The boys began to display fancy stickwork and make effective clears; more important, they showed that repeated defeats had not diminished their stamina and drive. The crowd was treated to a fast, rough, and exciting game. Herb White, plaque winner, was also elected captain of the team. % '' i I * i ■ !_____ «**a-rt* Kjl Ur L rA* I? KNEELING: J. Foster, R.

Varsity players from last year's team were Ted Alfond, plaque winner "Spider" Andresen, Paul McLauchlan, and "Winkie" Andresen. In addition to this strong nucleus, Randy Gardner and "Pee Wee" Smith helped a good deal in making this season a success. It wasn't all work, however; tire boys indulged in quite a bit of clowning. Co-captains Teddy and "Spider" spent much time in determining who was the better player; Paul became erratic whenever a pert chick walked near the court; "Pee Wee" had some wild doubles, and "Winkie" was con­ stantly looking for "swift" cars. Fortunately, the team could count on Randy Gardner, a calm and stable player, who was the biggest winner of the season. Cheers, of course, go to Coach DeArmott who, in spite of the boys' idiosyncrasies, was able to pilot them to many victories. " Mm P. McLauchlan, A. Smith, R. Gardner, T. Alfond, E. Andresen, J.

Bridgit Mahoney, the only freshman on the squad, pitched K. H. to victory. In their first home game, Kents Hill defeated Hinckley, 67-2. The second home game, against Dixfield, was tire team's first defeat, 23-12, followed by another loss at the hands of Farmington, 14-9. When bulldozers, steamshovels, cranes, and trucks drove the girls away to tire regular field, the team turned a new leaf and won the next three games. Tire team's last defeat came again from Farmington, in the last inning. K. H. was ahead by 2 points; there were 2 outs against the Farmington team and tire bases were loaded. Then, a player hit a triple and the scoring runs finished the game, 14-2. The last two games were close wins, calling for tire full capabilities of both Coach Sickels and tire team members. The season came to a perfect close with a victory' over Cony, 18-8. Joanne Bass, a four-year veteran varsity player, was elected captain. As a tribute to her contribution to team effort, Joanne also received the plaque. Jr/ J I , I ' ir*-* ■ jfr* ’ ;i K, f ■" >'■ £' A-'.. SEATED: E. Shepard, L. Carter, J. Wilson, A. Killam, B.

" Eventually, we moved onto the diamond; the new locale made us revise our approach to the game. Without a roof over our heads, there was no limit to the height a ball could travel. Therefore, we began to learn the art of "fielding" ground and fly balls. On May 5th, we lost our first game to Farmington. However, as the season progressed, we began to show improvement, not only in individual skills but in our teamwork. Experience paid off when we won the next-to-the-last game, beating Gould Academy. . Although our season record is not impressive, our next year's prospects are brighter. V»c shall make good use of what we learned this spring. Billie Lee Williams was elected captain.

John­ son. • V �VARSITY TENNIS Although the girls on the varsity tennis team had a losing season, 2-7, they played as well as predicted. Playing "number one" position all sea­ son, Freshman Debbie Lawton proved to be an asset to tire team. She was followed by Sue Alfond, Claris Wulfing, and Sue Dyer. The line-up was changed from time to time at the discretion of Coach Starks. After two days of practice on the courts, the team gained its first victory against Westbrook Jr. College. The triumph, a match of close individual plays, surprised everyone. High spirit and strong determination might have brought victory against Stevens High School; however, Sue Alfond was absent and Debbie Lawton met difficulties when her opponent in tire singles was injured. Later, in the season, after a series of losses, K. H. managed to defeat Stevens High. Captain and plaque winner Debbie Law­ ton, Chris Wulfing, and Jane Stinchfield have developed into competent players; it is hope that with their skillful help, next year's team will have a better spring. < V' - EM a '2- V: ohs&K'-.

These personalities when combined with others, determine the character of a school. It is this factor which makes a school something more than an in animate structure. Instead, it becomes; a living institution endowed with real people and lasting memories. 7 ■™a7 Lw j" • ■ 7 . > .. .. ^7 ■■■ ■ 7'.- ft h-W.-'W;-'-- ;,W ■-■■-■y - ■ ■ x • : ' 1 �C' J For a member of the school community who, in the opinion of those who know him, has employed his cheerfulness, and force of character to the greatest advantage, Steve Saunders deserves recognition. Through simple understanding of student sentiments, he has provided encouragement. A history teacher by nature and training, r.nrrbp Kilcore has insnired manv students to go on in the field he loves. He is quick to make a decision and strong in his convictions. This, along with his overpowering personality and sense of human understanding make Gordie leader at Kents Hill. The contagious interest gleaned by a question­ ing mind, coupled with tacit wisdom and un­ derstanding, marks a man respected both with­ in class and without. More than a teacher, Fran Reilly has served the student body as a reliable friend, and the school as an innovator of academic progress. He has given us the de­ sire to question, the incentive to pursue, and an example to follow.

JACOBS! safe fl �You are the first class in eight years to leave Kents Hill School without the horrible specter of personal involvement in an armed conflict. Not even the compulsory military draft is a compelling obligation for young men with the subsequent interruption of continuing formal education. You now have a freer opportunity to exercise choice in the full range of professional and vocation­ al preferences. You are a part of a generation of active people. You do not treat lightly the imperfections of your society. You have witnessed destruction and you have anguished with peers over an undesirable conflict stretched to seeming etern­ ity. With the removal of this great block to a better future, your energies can now be more forcefully directed to other concerns. Whether these be social injustices, poverty, pollution, environmental control, equal rights or one of any number of contemporary issues, I urge you to become an inform­ ed, committed person, prepared to accept a new challenge. Although the innate qualities of your personal character may often be ob­ scured from public display, each of you has the capacity for greatness. You have in your possession the tools and the skills. Your greatness will not be measured by title, monetary worth or even by the number of times you appear in print. It will, however, become evident. Only one course of action will deny success---- "escapism". Be it through thought, chemicals or behavior, only through this approach to life will you fail to reach your full potential. I wish each member of the class of 1973 a rich, fillfilling life of service and pray that you may never fail in your search for success. Donald M. Jacobs �■ W' I‘I . A • 1||• i iW?

To do this, the School Council attempts to provide leadership and make changes essential to the progress of the school while also overseeing and communicating with the important sub-committees. This year's Council was dedicated in its attempt for positive change. From lengthy meetings came proposals concerned with athletics, social and academic affairs. All changes kept in mind that students deserve a large degree of freedom and opportunity to develop responsibility as long as the seriousness of aca­ demics is first and foremost. The School Council devoted close to seven hours one day trying to instill more uniformity 1., in 1„ school1 rules and punishments and specifically state that more leadership from faculty and students alike is seriously needed. The Council also worked extensively ’/ona comprehensive plan to raise the academic standards while improving classroom participation. 2?.SZSS SS5S3.SJS5SSSSK-d “ The Judicial Committee, two faculty “ and some of the most difficult decisions y five students, was consistently faced with wild some oi rne most diiiicult decisions on campus. These carefully thought-out decisions were instrumental i—‘--------- ’-------------’ ... recommendations - . m providing fair and consistent tailored to the individual involved and his situation.

As a chronicle of campus t e portrays in text and pictures the achievements and joys of the year and becomes for all Kents Hill people a cherished book of memories. The 1973 POLARIS will occupy an important place in my personal library as an achievement not by one person but as a group project. This POLARIS is the result of the highest degree of unselfishness and cooperation by the fol lowing people. It was hours and hours of lay-outs, photography, and organization. You have gained a publication from their efforts and they have gained a total admiration, respect, and dedication from me.

You have worked hard. You have mastered a course of study. You have attained a level of competency. And, you have enjoyed the experience of competing with peers. Now, it is time for you to take this new found knowledge and seek new challenges. The future is what you shall make it. Although affected by uncertainties in foreign lands, puzzled that answers are often clouded in the rhetoric of others, you share an optimism that can lead to solutions. Your commitment to a better world must remain. You have each been endowed with talents to initiate action which, in turn, will cause others to follow. Use those talents. Further develop those skills. Don’t be satisfied. Seek solutions. We depend on you. Congratulations on this recent achievement. Kents Hill School became a better place because you were here. Sincerely, Donald M.

This place has made me a person that I never would have had the chance to become. I want to be the best alumnus this school ever had. THE FACULTY! The Lindsays I love you both. Mr. Rand, great man, great LAX. Elbs, you’re quite a man. GWK, you’re a good man. Jake, you’re Jake in my book; Mr. Crane, you’re the closest to heaven on earth. Hobie, Mr. Waller, you’re all great and I have learned a lot from you. Poz, Bird — where’s my $$? Zeber, I sleep in closets. Psycho. Viet Nam man. Be involved with activities, be involved and you will love school. Fill every free moment doing a positive thing. Be hungry and have desire. Any chance you get you should tell your parents you love them. You are the people who carry their name on. Be proud. Mike Leland, you have come a long way at KH. I respect you! Stop smoking. I will miss you. 2 LAX Championships. 2 Football — Get ’em up, good job Chuckie. 4th 'A. David Mars, Good luck. You are already a success. Prez, I caught a lot of crap. Proctor. Captain. Go ahead. I will be a better person for it. Mickey, Good luck. Things will go your way. Good luck, Mr. Roden, you coffee achiever. Mr. Rost, I’m St. Lawrence bound, I’ll be seeing you. If you’re look­ ing for a good auctioneer give me a ring. Have gavel will travel! Yes, Wild is my middle name. Mom and Dad, I don’t know how you put up with me. I love you both. Kari, our love can only prosper. I love you. You mean the world to me! I’ve only spent two years on the Hill but in those two years I’ve grown a lot in almost every aspect. Prior to Kents Hill I attended Portsmouth High (a lot of good memories there with Beth, Amy and Linda). Then I spent a year at Berwick Academy. Then “The Scrod”. I must admit I’ve enjoyed this one the most. Thank you to all those who have touched my life positively: my parents (both sets!), Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay, Ms. Duffy, Mr. Waller, Mr. Rost, Ms. Smith, Big JR, Ms. Kling, Pete “Wear a Helmet” Roberts, and the Rands. Also, Catmando, Duaner, Helen, Keither, Tanya, Chestless, Monique, Rita Rabbit, Racer, Amy, Tracy H., Mel and Vai, Savoy Boy, Wendell, the Hansens, the Stinsons, and a lot from last year. Well, Cat, can you believe it? 2 years and we are still friends! Where do you hide your potato salad? Under your cottage cheese perhaps? Duane would never find it there. Say Cat, why do you smoke? “Well, ever since Duane broke his leg there’s nothing else to do.” Racer’s sweater factory. Tracy and her “flying heads”. Flemistry Flux. Auburn Mall. “Have you had your shower-toshower today?” We came close a few times! Playing Boy’s LAX. Some threat! I think it backfired. 412. Bowtie Man. LA Man. Andy and Lynn in the kitchen, you guys are the greatest! Boogs, Sluggo, Herman, Viet Nam Man, Mad Dog, Tankie — You’re just plain old Doug to me! Douglas, (I’ve saved the best for last). I will always love and cherish you. A love like ours can endure anything that may cross our paths along the ways of life, for ours is one that will only get stronger! 46 Kari Hunt Rasmussen �“Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it’s been.” G.

Education is man’s skeletal system. It gives man support, strength and an individual form. Without education, as without his skeleton, man is forced to conform to those shapes, thoughts or ideas that will support him. Failure in education does not cripple man, rather it injures him. From these in­ juries, man learns right from wrong. In this there can never really be failure in education. David E. Mars A Chris Weeks 53 .L �“Peace, Love, G.

I am an empty vessel filled only with miracles, But I am not long of this earth. I leave it soon And if no one will partake of the empty vessel, If no one is willing to appear the fool, I will be here no longer, And I will have been a waste of time. Please, do not be afraid. Let not the others stop you from being the fool — If not for an instant, (though an hour is better). The path of the fool is fraught with danger, And to follow the fool is to be one yourself. But no matter. I am here. I will listen to you, And perhaps, if you let a poor fool speak to you, Perhaps if you step for an hour Into the fool’s world of fantasy And partake of the empty vessel, You will learn what a fool really is.

At public school you could always count on fast days and a slow year, and here it’s just the opposite. In this short time I’ve met Indians, idiots, madmen, cowboys and three geniuses. I met an old man out in the woods who thought he was from the planet Mars. The old man, whose name was “Nameless” once said to me, “lx nobliar pindus. Because on Mars everything is red.” And once there was the Golden Dawn, and once there was Zamahna. And who’s counting? We’re ending with a quote today, this one from the great Indian wise man Donda Cov Saar.

Scott Schirmeier taught history, coached soccer, basketball and tennis; and helped run the largest dorm on campus. Students did not always know what to make of this new teacher. He spoke out for unpopular minorities, recited poetry and danced at morning meeting, and gave his students reading assignments they were not supposed to see until college. His apartment became a gather­ ing place for the dorm. He let too many people raid his refrigerator and call their girlfriends and family on his phone. Mr. Schirmeier gave so much to his students, never expecting anything back, but he was rewarded. Wary at first, as teens often are, they soon let down their guard and could not help but find themselves drawn to this teacher. And they listened when he told them to trust others, to open themselves to new ideas and experiences. His classes became unusually popular for a novice teacher. His expertise was rewarded when he soon became department chairperson. Part of his skill and zest for the classroom comes from hard work. Last summer he studied in Hew York at Teachers College of the Klingenstein Foundation and Columbia University. This summer he has received a national Endowment for the Humanities grant for study. For 1993-94 he will teach in Hungary under a Fulbright Scholarship. So it is with pleasure and pride we, the Class of 1993, dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Scott Schirmeier. We thank him for challenging us, listening to us, and caring so much for each one of us. 2 �i < 1 r0 /jj Or ■ I 'A' > '•" I <' J "X .. 7 4. lC I • 1 ' s ** i 3 �___ — .■' ,7 / zW-/ """AZ J // / ;' \ ■ l / rj/■' .

A 2 and 5 record was not indica­ tive of the hard work, solid play and sportsmanship shown by this squad. Several long road trips during mid­ season and a rash of injuries to key players left the huskies a little short in several contests. Our first victory was a real bam burner, with a half time lead evaporating in the third quarter to a pair of Vermont TDs. The best offensive drive of the season led by back-up QB Pat Sheehan and the run­ ning of Chris Paquette and Jose Del Pozo led to a go ahead TD in the fourth quarter, which was cemented by a brilliant goal line stand in the final minute, led by Yuri Richards, Mike Polky and Andy Ferran. A 95 yard TD run by Paquette ended our first victory. Beating traditional rival Hebron in the season finale, in front of the home crowd, was our first in four years and highlighted our improve­ ment. Among the game highlights were Brandon playing FB and scoring his first TD, Scott Klapik and Shane Layng making nifty pass receptions for TDs and Coach Hamovit's post game shower. Team awards included all Evergreen Conference selections of Andy Ferran at DT, Scott Klapik at DB, Kash Haley at OT, Brandon at LB and Chris Paquette at second team RB.

Because of wins over Waynfiete, Gould and He­ bron, Kents Hills ended up second in the MAISAD league at the end of sea­ son play. Games played against larger public school teams reflected a signif­ icant improvement over the previous year's games. One key to this successful season was the number of returning players, especially seniors, who had played to­ gether last year. Captains Erica Swift, Karen Engleman and Jessica Heath led their team well and engendered enthusiasm and good sportsman­ ship. Goaltending by Amanda Garcia, forward line play by Amy Kelleher and Kathi Langelier backed up by links Jill Bromley and Katie Pow added to strong play each game. The returning players did a fine job as a strong core of the team; however, they were backed up by new players to the team who improved quickly. In all, the team worked hard, played well and demonstrated excellent sportsman­ ship throughout a successful season. ■/ j < ' “ . -XL/ V t BiBB©" 111 .3 Standing: Coach Heath, Julie Shuman, Lara Gorsky, Kriya Davis, Erin Locke, Hatasha Holmes, Melissa Templet, Eri­ ca Swift, Karen Engleman, Ines Zarauz, Amanda Garcia, Coach Shultz.

With talent springing from ev­ ery position dreams of champion­ ships floated around in coach Schirmeier’s head, but those dreams came up short with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to CVA in the semi-finals of the MAISAD tournament. The highlight of the season was the 1-0 win at Waynflete, wearing new uniforms, when Kishio Iwasaki scored from the top of the 18. Led by future captain Casey Piche, captains Hoah Shepard and Mark Bourne, Colin Coan, Justin Kittredge, Nathan Browne, Kishio Iwasaki and Hideaki Suzuki the team beat every team in the league except Gould.

We started the year with a lot of enthusiasm and discovered that we could play competitive soccer with the other MAISAD schools. Our re­ cord after the opening jamboree was 1-1-2; however, we were not able to sustain our initial level of play during much of the season. Almost every game we played we had an excellent first or second half, but not both. Fi­ nally, during our last game of the sea­ son we pulled two impressive halves together to finish the season with a 10 win over Hebron Academy. Our team was probably the youn­ gest in the league, and that will cer­ tainly be to our advantage next year. We have a number of outstanding un­ derclass women who are now sea­ soned veterans and, luckily, we will have to say goodbye to only three se­ niors - Svea Robinson, Karen Welsh and Sandra Marron. Congratulations to award recipients Annie St. JohnRheault (M1P), Sachi Tanaka (MVP) and Sandra Marron (Plaque).

When push comes to shove 45 �f .IL Boys' Junior Varsity Soccer ' oys’ JV Soccer enjoyed a very successful 1—2 season, finishing with a respectable 6-5-1 Lz regular season record.! The 1992 Huskies jumped out to an impres­ sive 5-1-1 record, before cooling off to the real strength of the league. Two losses to a very fast CVA team and one to perennial power Gould dipped the record. Final victories against MYA and arch-rival Hebron finished the upbeat fall of '92. The defense was ably anchored by the stal­ wart play of Ben Adams and Raymond Bonnefond. They were joined by the MVP winner, Ja­ son Chan and an incredibly enthusiastic Masa Ikeda. Hick Asselin's prowess in the goal proved instrumental in the team's success. Pat Mackenzie, Greg Flagg and Mike Vanderharten all made contributions to the team effort. At the midfield positions the team relied heavily on the efforts of Stacy Lloyd, Tim riovembrino, Kornwell Chan, Tom Riley and Dar­ ren MacPhee. Hovembrino had never played organized soccer before, but his excellent phys­ ical fitness and general athleticism made him one of the team's most explosive players. Lloyd, also new to the game, made incredible strides in his basic skills. K. Chan's nifty ball­ handlingskills were fun to watch, and his foot.. . neophytes Riley and MacPhee showed a great willingness to play hard. Up front, the Huskies' offensive engine was driven by the seasoned ballhandling skills of Dan "Barky" Barkoff. Rob Waters, on the left wing, also displayed considerable ballhandling ability. These two were joined by a variety of players, including Joel Hurlburt and Tim Hovembrino. AJ Wall missed most of the season due to injury. Coaches Stuckey and Hansen were gratified by the teamwork and sportsmanship displayed. While we will happily lose several players to the varsity, there should be a good nucleus return­ ing to help make 1993 another successful year. * 4 >. ■ ■" ■ ft / I I J k* I -.•• »(.. xx.-" '»’ / • / ■ -- J- - U ■ I 46 : * & Standing: Coach Hansen.

II ' -! - i The pause that refreshed �Outing Club p "On Belay!" ith the return of Tim Wood, Ai Sato and Jon Warren, the Outing Club initiated a deluge of rock climbing trips during the fall. These able veterans were joined by an impressive cast: Galen Ricci. Jamie Clark, Iris Ullrich and Todd Rich. Regardless of the terrain or type of climbing, this group proved their desire to become masters of stone". Wednesdays were spent regularly at Camden, where increasingly demanding routes were test­ ed and overcome. Walker and Clark were often heard muttering, "Don't look back, they're gaining on us.” The group's trip to the climbing mecca of the Otter Cliffs at Acadia national Park was a great success: beautiful weather, lots of laughs and a ton of great climbs right over the ocean. In a break from rock climbing, the Outing Club headed up to Baxter State Park to hike Katahdin. Although cold and rainy, the day proved very successful, as the entire group summitted and enjoyed the airy walk along the famed Knife Edge. Perhaps most amuzing was the sight of Tim Wood being chased by a moose on the way up to Chimney Pond. Although the Outing Club learned many tech­ nical skills this fall, the true strength of the group lay in their character; cooperative, deter­ mined, helpful, and ready for a good laugh. Many thanks to everyone including Mr. Clark and Dr. Ricci for making the fall season a very memorable one. IW !

Season highlights include two big wins over long-time prep rival He­ bron Academy by a score of 8-3 in each game and another set of wins in a doubleheader over Bishops College School of Canada. Also, the Huskies beat all of the Maine public high schools we played except a close loss to local, Class A powerhouse Cony High School. The team was led in scoring by co­ captains Scott Klapik and Pat Shee­ han, who each averaged over two points per game. Brian Mollica tallied a pair of hat tricks in games against Proctor and B.C.S. Defensively, Tim riovembrino and Colin Coan provided the needed support. In net, Josh Cole and Pat McKenzie came up big on nu­ merous occasions to keep Kents Hill in the close games. Despite losing most of the key play­ ers to graduation last year, the Hus­ kies rallied around a small nucleus of experienced players and had a suc­ cessful season. This year's team will lose only six players, which leads one to believe next year's squad will be even more successful. & w I 11 ! ll Z7 ■ Z7 : ■■ f /!

It started at Thanksgiving with a training camp at Sugarloaf and ended four and a half months later at the Junior Olympics. In be­ tween were many highs, lows, hard work and a lot of fun. The most outstanding attribute of this team was their cohesiveness and support for one another. We ventured into the land of Gould, our arch rival, to defend our MA1SAD championship on their home slope. After the GS it was a dead heat. With the afternoon came the slalom and after the first run all was even. When the 2nd run was over it was Gould on top by 4. Hamed to the all-conference team this year were Ken­ dra Emery, Christian Hickerson and Winston Hickerson. The following week at the Hew England Championship the Huskies found themselves in a similar situation, this time against Williston Horth Hampton. When the snow settled at Pats Peak, it was Williston on top by 7. Hamed to the all Hew England team were Kendra Emery, Christian Hickerson and Casey Piche.

Other girls contribut­ ing were Trisha Abramson and Amy Kelleher, both of whom had two top ten finishes in indi­ vidual races. The girls finished in second place at the MAISAD championship races. The boys’ team also demonstrated excellent depth and had a successful season. In the year long MAISAD league three KH boys were in the top ten. Jamie Clark was 5th, Christoph Schmidt was 7th and Sam Bridge was 10th. Raymond Bonnefond also was a strong JV com­ petitor early in the season (he won a slalom in January), but finished the season racing for the varsity. Senior Bryan Harrison also had two top ten finishes. The highlight of the boys' season was at the MAISAD championships where the boys took first place by beating rival Gould Academy by just two points. Coaches O'Connor, McInerney and Walker were delighted by the progress that the teams demonstrated over the season. It is clear that the successes of our varsity teams will continue with such talented skiers at the JV level. ■ ■ • i Kneeling: Alex Wall.

However, the one race that Kate Dunn, Becky Ward and Trisha Abramson did go to turned out well, even though the racers were in for a sur­ prise. They traveled to Hebron expecting a 2.5K race against about twenty girls; however, the race was 5K with forty girls.

By the end of the season all seven novice board­ ers reached at least an intermediate level of performance. Some even performed ad­ vanced techniques on a variety of terrain. Hext season our KH boarders look for­ ward to interscholastic competition. Our only USSA competitor this winter was Jon Warren who earned two 5th and two 4th placements in races around Hew England. Ranked 5th overall among the snowboarders in his age group, Jon merit­ ed invitation to nationals held in Vail, Colorado. According to Coach Shultz and the twelve KH boarders, snowboarding is a welcome addition to our winter athletic program. Enthusiasm and dedication to personal skill improvement were the greatest assets to the 1993 snowboarding program. rront: Yong-Wook Shin. Coach Shultz, Ai Sato. Yong-Jun Son. HacA. Tom Riley.

The matches, scrimmages, traveling and practices were fun for all of us. Some of the season's high points were Lara and Melissa reaching the semifinals at MAISAD Championships, Iris beating Hebron's number one player, and learning about DQ blizzards. Iris Ullrich and Jordon Denis alternated first and second singles. Both made pro­ gress all year and offered a stiff challenge to nearly all their opponents, beating three of them. Ines Zarauz was a steady addition at third singles and had the long­ est points of the season, many exceeding thirty shots. Karen Engleman and Shayna Eigen played well together and ended the sea­ son 5-3. They were seeded second at MAI­ SAD Championships but were unable to get by a touch first round draw. Lara Gorske and Melissa Templet were an ex­ cellent pair at second doubles with a win­ ning record and outstanding play at the championships. Lara's court coverage, both physical and mental, plus her great service return earned her MVP. Depend­ able Masumi Miura played every match, thanks to chicken pox, and more than ad­ equately filled each position. Iris, Jordan, Ines, Karen and Lara will all be missed next year.

To make matters even closer, all three matches had at least one Kents Hill player going to three sets to win.

The team had a season of bad luck and were up against other clubs they could keep up with but not beat. Sam Bridge, Casey Piche, Matt nel­ son, Tim Wood, and Justin Kittredge were the only players on the team to have played together. To them were added the skills of Kash Haley, Pat Sheehan, Qreg Shelton, Colin Coan, Josh Cole, Andy Barbaro and Brian Mollica, but all came from different teams, novices Andy Ferran, Jose Del Pozo, Steve Butters, Brian Logue, Phil Boulton and Pat McKenzie played well, but the season did not come to­ gether for them quickly enough for the Huskies to win in their competitive upper flight division. Coaches Steinert and Hamovit al­ ways kept the team from giving up. They, and the players, deserve com­ mendation for their work to create a strong team. In no way did the team warrant the bad luck they received. S’ I ’■ .Tr. i $ I I Kneeling: Josh Cole, Tim Novembrino, Brian Mollica, Greg Shelton, Steve Butters, Andy Barbara, Colin Coan, Kat Sheehan.

That is what this year's junior varsity lacrosse team was all about, making the foundation for strong var­ sity teams in the years to come. This year the team improved from the word go. The increase in skills and knowledge was the most evident when the Huskies had a tournament victory over Oak Hill, who had beaten our guys in gray during the regular season. Each team member will carry away his own memories of the 1993 sea­ son, but there are also the memories the team will share: over-time victory vs. Hyde, knocking Oak Hill out of the tournament, McKenzie out one win­ dow and in the next, breakfast all over the back of the bus. Many important lessons were learned in this lacrosse season. Of all those lessons, the team will remem­ ber four extremely important ones. First, you can't score if you don't shoot on net. Second, stay out of the penalty box, avoid the "wicked slash". Hext, play as a team. Last, never give up. Finally, farewell to Coach Cartmeil, who is going into the bed and break­ fast business. Best of luck in the fu­ ture. Standing: Coach Steinert, Derek States, Josh Wood, Stacy Lloyd, Bret Newbury, Andrew Bridge, Tom Riley, Coach Cartmeil.

Head coach Walker, along with Mr. Clark, taught many basic but very im­ portant skills. The members trained by doing a lot of running and other aerobic exercises along with practic­ ing on the climbing wall. The group made a few enjoyable off-campus trips to climb or canoe. On rainy days they worked on their rock climbing and repelling skills on the climbing wall in the gym. With all the competitive team sports at Kents Hill, it is great that students have the outing club as an option. The outing club provides its partici­ pants with lifelong skills, an under­ standing and appreciation for the out­ doors. ftjLh B hi Award winner Ai Sato, Coach Walker li I?"

I[ 7• “i-p 1 5^ 91 �I »l i 4 A Message To My Students by Rist Bonnefond I have three things to say to you today. They are three simple things, but I believe they are profound. Profound not because 1 have thought of them but because, 1 believe, they are the verities of life, at once the reason we are here and the things that we must strive to do. They are difficult things, perhaps the most difficult things in all the universe, and no one can do them perfectly. But they are possible things, and though we may never attain them wholly, we must try. The first is, to love yourself. This may seem the easiest of the three, but in fact it is the hardest. It is hard be­ cause to love yourself you must, in whatever part ofyour existence it is that you face the truth, accept not the im­ age of yourself that you project to yourself and others, but rather the true reality of who you are, with all your strengths and all your weaknesses. And you must accept and value both: what makes you beautiful, and what makes you ugly; that you are kind, and that you are cruel; that you are part of something that encompasses all life and may never end, yet that you will live on this earth a few decades, the mere blink of God's eye, and then you shall pass away. // / / // But you can learn to accept and value all these things, to yield to the idea that you possess them in equal measure, then, and only then, will you find peace. If you can learn to love yourself, you will be ready to begin trying to follow the second guideline: to love each other, now at some fundamental level this sounds absurd. All of us are different from each other, and for each of us there will be those who rub us the wrong way, whose appearance or speech or habits or dress offend us. You will find people in your life whom for these and other reasons you come to dislike intensely. Yet even these, in one sense especially these, you must learn to love. For just as you have faced and accepted the reality of your own strengths and weaknesses, your own state of grace and your own inevitable sinfulness, so too must you ac­ cept them in others. This is very hard, so hard that no one here will ever be able to do it completely. But you must try, every day, because in the doing is the end, in the path is the journey, and the only way to peace in your heart is to be con­ sumed by this love for one another as you learn to love your own "other”. The last thing I would say to you is love the earth. In an inescapable way we are indeed children of the planet Earth: the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and the beauty we see all are created or formed or sustained by this earthly environment. Without this Earth, we should be condemned to lives of perpetual wandering in an outcast state, living in pathetic imitations of our planet in colonies in space or on other, less hospitable planets. This may seem far-fetched, but if we continue to foul our waters and destroy our forests and pollute our air the way we have done for the past 100 years or more, then your grandchildren, quite possibly your children, will not be able to call this planet home. So walk out into the fields and woods, hike up a mountain or paddle down a river, sit on a rock and let the peace and serenity of the forest descend upon you. Then, as you leave your natural surroundings and return to the more artificial ones of suburb and city, carry the memory of those experiences with you to sustain you and give you direction. Love yourself, love each other, love the Earth. If you can do these things, you will find that your life will have purpose and meaning and joyfulness. The hard times in life will still be there: a loved one will die, a marriage will dissolve, illness or poverty, or the unpopularity that often follows a courageous act— all these and more may be your lot. But if you allow what is truly good in you, that which compels you to tell the truth, to help a friend, to be loyal to someone even if he or she is not there— if you allow all these good things in you the chance to in­ habit every comer of your being, then you will find peace in your heart, and the world will be a better place for your presence. �<• ii SENIORS �L L « A Message To My Students by Rist Bonnefond I have three things to say to you today.

A 7-2 record over all. Evergreen League championship, play in the New England Prep School Class B championship, beating Hebron in the Centennial game at Bates, made 1993 a great season. Led by head coach Lloyd "Hamo" Hamovit, offen­ sive coordinator Mike "Doc" Jamieson and defen­ sive coordinator Tom "Shep" Shepard, the Huskies w ere respected by all their opponents for both their power and sportsmanship. The offense was led by league leading QB Chris Angelosante, league MVP Lateef O'Connor, and all league running backs Brian Mollica and captain Jay Shanahan. The Husky "O" scored 169 points, while giving up only 73. The highlight of the season was the Centennial Football Game and Banquet at season's end against Hebron on the Bates College field. It was disappointing to end the season with a loss in the Division B game at Williston, but we were champions already, and one loss does not make a season! HIGHLIGHTS: Pre-season camp, Davis- "Good Morning Campers!" Snacks, "I felt that moth all the way downl" Shaved heads and the Gut Club for Men; Scrimmage ag't Exeter; Running the ski hill; Iron Man earns his name; Home opener New Hampton, tough start, Noah goes down.

Sec­ ond game with Hyde, a long, hard, sad game week, game dedicated to Coach Hamovit's brother. Wrong way Shanahan, Mollica's 45 yd field goal ce­ ments victory 9-0. Hebron and Centennial game, television interviews, bonfire, pep rally and banquet make for exciting week. We win 100th game, McGorty plays fullback, roar of the crowd, cheer­ leaders, Iron Man gets a TD to ice victory, 40-7. Road trip to Williston, lots of fun until game started. We gave it our best; above all the rest, we are the championsl Worm eating Mollica dominates. Step back; here 1 come.

Of the 18 players, nine were returning players while 8 of the 9 new players had no experi­ ence. Under the leadership of re­ turning captain Jessica Heath, a four-year KH player, and Amanda Winters, a new junior with six year's experience, the new players im­ proved quickly and moved into their positions ready and able to score and defend. The highlights of the season were a 3-3 overtime tie against Gould on Parents' Weekend and finishing the season so well with a young team. Veteran players Crys­ tal Reeve (I. inner) and Melissa Tem­ plet (I. wing) joined co-captain Amanda Winters as high scorers while co-captain Jessica Heath (I. half), Danielle Dutilly (I. half) and Amy Drake (I. link) led the defense. With only three players graduating, the KH 1994 field hockey team will have a strong, experienced core of players for another successful sea­ son. Crystal takes charge. Shuman stays close. Go, Petra.

The season opener against Bridgton Acadery was won with a late goal by Ben Peasley. Little did we know that that would be the way all the games would go: close all the way through and usually de­ cided by late goals. We followed that game with a heartbreaking 3-2 loss to Hyde in dou­ ble overtime but rebounded with another 2-1 victory over Bridgton and a double overtime tie with Waynflete, who went on to be the Maine State Class D champions. The rest of our goals were all as close as the first four. The fantastic leadership of our tri­ captains Casey Piche (an all MAISAD goalie), Midfielder Nathan Browne (an all MAISAD selection) and forward Philip Boulton was what kept the team focused and excited game in and game out. The strength was clearly our defense, as we allowed only 1.6 goals against per game. The mainstays of the defense were Casey, Javier Ruiz and sopho­ more Luis Madrazo. Javier and Luiz, both from Mexico, were also selected to the league all star team. Offensively, the team depended on Nathan Browne. He had 14 points on the season, goals and assists and was clearly one of the premier players in the league. As we look to the future, we are sorry to see Nathan, Casey, Philipe, Javier, Ben and Kishio Iwasaki gradu­ ating, but we are very encouraged by the tal­ ent of underclassmen like Tommy LaVeen, Luis Madrazo, Yuichi Takahira, Danny Barkoff, Andy Rose, Matt Seney and many others. All in all, it was a very exciting year in which we were proud of our five victories but equally proud that we were competitive in all of the other games as well.

Af­ ter an impressive 3-0 beginning (in­ cluding an exciting 3-2 overtime win against powerhouse Hyde), the Huskies came up short on some very close games, but regrouped and with determination and hus­ tle, finished the regular season by earning a spot in the post-season tournament. As the fourth-ranked team going into the tournament, the Huskies were prepared for the superb competition they would face. A 2-0 win over Hebron (powered by Kendra Emery's two goals and Heather Whittier's shut-out in net) put the team into the finals against Hyde, a game which would go into two overtimes and an eventual penalty kick­ off. Whittier's quick reactions in net and pen­ alty shot goals by Amy Bonnefond, Sarah Hor­ ton, and Nancy Godfrey helped the team be­ come MAISAD champions. Throughout the season, tri-captains Kendra Emery, Heather Whittier and Keeneya Wil­ liams helped coaches Mrs. Turner and Ms. Hall keep enthusiasm and excitement at high levels. Seniors Nancy Godfrey, Deanne Fonvielle, Shayna Eigen, Sachi Tanaka and Keeneya Williams performed impressively in their final soccer season on the Hill. Next year's returning squad will certainly look to continue the fine play of the '93 sea­ son with a number of talented returning play­ ers. The girls' junior varsity team, a branch of the varsity squad, was equally successful. The playing time and experience gained from the JV matches were keys to the success of the varsity team. The athletes were in top physical condition after a very busy and active season. L Do what? Go, Nancy go! Dot shows off.

In many games we were simply out­ gunned by older more experienced players. While our record was well below the .500 mark, our team never gave up, and we never lost a game we should have won. Highlights included our very close second game with a strong Hyde team. In our first outing they beat us decisively, 7-1. But in the second game, we stayed with them the en­ tire contest, losing by one goal, scored at the very end of the game. The team played two great games against NYA. The second, a decisive victory, was most impressive, com­ ing toward the end of a long and po- L \ tentially demoralizing string of losses. Finally, the JV's finished their sea­ son with a creditable showing in the League's season-ending tournament at Gould. While we lost both games, the team kept both much closer than our regular season experience would have predicted. The 1993 Boy's JV Soccer team demonstrated a perseverance of which they should be extremely proud. BUH ........... > 1 Determination Here we go.

While runners improved their individual race times over the season, the team gained the reputa­ tion of being a legitimate sport at Kents Hill once again. The Gould coaches commented at the first meet that they had not seen such a quality group of runners in both performance and attitude from Kents Hill in many years. Freshman Elijah Plante led the team in many ways. Plante was the only runner to race in all five meets and achieve varsity status. Plante placed 10th at the MAISAD championships, a ter­ rific finish. Leander Hasty constantly bettered his times over the season and earned the MVP award. His pace improved by one minute per mile over the course of the season. Meghan Smith raced to an amazing 4th place finish in the first meet, but was plagued by injuries in the sec­ ond half of the season. Wait up Danielle. Resting before the run.

Opponents ranged from Canadian teams to Massachusetts preps. The tough schedule seemed appropriate for a strong Kents Hill team, but injuries and illness kept the squad from playing at full strength for most of the year. The overall record for wins was 7-15-1, while the J.V. went 5-6 en-route to a third place finish in a separate league. Senior captain Natan Obed led the Huskies in goals scored and min­ utes played. Supporting him on the blue line were postgraduate Erik Hehl and freshman Josh Engle. Up I front, postgraduate Brian Mollica and senior Steve Butters provided offensive punch.

The team battled through a 7-8 year which included several key wins over some tough opponents. Post grad and team MVP Lateef O'Connor led the Huskies in scoring and was the team's captain as well. He fulfilled Coach Steinert's fantasy of seeing a player dunk in a game against Waynflete at home. Nathan Brown, team MIP, and Chris Adams were the other two seniors on this year's squad.

The team's freshman fireball, Omar Crawford, stepped into the shoes of point guard and played admirably. The season's biggest win came against Gould Academy here on the Hili.

Offensively, Clara Howe led the team in scoring with Charity Mal­ one, Emily Girvin, Liz Eisele and Dot Howe rounding out the top five scoring slots. Also making scoring contributions were Crystal Reeve, Erin Locke, Jenny Pearce and Keeneya Williams. The entire team worked to develop an aggressive defensive zone and a player full court press that forced multiple turnovers in the Husky's favor.

The girls' team led by sophomore Kendra Emery also had a terrific year. At the New England Champi­ onships they were third. Then the following week Kendra, Melissa Templet, Jenny Rogers, Danielle Dutilly and Trisha Abramson won their first-ever MA1SAD champion­ ship.

Both the boys' and girls' teams had strong team results and strong individual results all season long. They both were 2nd, as teams, in the MAISAD JV championships, and were in contention to win right down to the last run. On the women's side, Annie St. JohnRheault was a standout in every race. She won two races, came in second in three oth­ ers, won the MAISAD Slalom championship and was second in the Giant Slalom. She was supported by a host of other girls, 5 of whom were ranked in the top 10 finishers for the season. Nancy Godfrey was 3rd, Amy Drake was 4th, Trisha Abramson was 7th, Angela Drake was 9th and Heather Whittier was 10th. Placing 6 racers in the top 10 for the season is an amazing accomplishment. The boys' team also had a standout, Ian Garrison, who improved so much that he was bumped up to the varsity and ended the sea­ son racing in the varsity MAISAD Champion­ ship and placing 10th! Ian had four top 5 fin­ ishes while racing JV. Beyond Ian four other racers made up the nucleus of the JV team. Tuck Meyer won one race and ended up 7th for the season, Joel Hurlburt placed 6th for the season, while Mike Wilson finished 10th, and Galen Ricci had 2 top 10 finishes in the championship to be a major contributor to the team. Sam Bridge, Tom LaVeen, Alex Wall, Toby Burdet and Rob Waters also con­ tributed greatly to the season's success. It is clear that most of these boys will be racing varsity next season!

Nearly 20 students participated in either the racing or recreational programs. Some recreational skiers quickly re­ alized how exciting nordic competi­ tion can be and jumped into races in the latter part of the season. Others were content to glide at a leisurely pace on our beautiful trails. After weeks of training on our new outer trail ("Canta-Loop") our skiers competed at Hebron Acad­ emy, Oxford Hills, Gould Academy and here at home. Freshman Emily Chaisson captured first place overall in both home races and finished first for Kents Hill at every other meet. Freshmen Elijah Plante and David Shortlidge traded the top position on the men's side over the course of the season.

Kents Hill racers challenged themselves to race gates and show off their freestyle tricks against Gould and CVA, the two only other schools in Maine with snowboarding programs. Melanie Norman, a junior, and Jon Warren, a senior, expanded the program into Vermont where they competed at Mt. Snow, Mt. Bromley and Stratton Mt. in the USSA Green Mt. series. Both qualified for Nation­ als and traveled to California this spring. Jon's and Melanie's dedica­ tion and enthusiasm toward the pro­ gram earned them the Coaches' Awards.

Angelosante, Hehl, O'Connor and sophomore Tucker Harding were the workhorses on the mound. Junior Ben Adams had a strong spring playing third and catching and found support from in­ fielders O'Connor, Harding, Jack and freshman second baseman Omar Crawford (MIP). When not pitching, Hehl mobilized the group from behind the plate. The outfield was led by the mighty bat of con­ verted lacrossman Pat McKenzie. He anchored. Other anchors included junior Wil Bacot, freshman Dan Matson and sophomores Nick Asselin and Joe Giardello.

Every position won at least one match at the varsity level, and Petra Kruzela made it to the semifinals in the MA1SAD Championships. She was named MVP for that success as well as her example in sportsmanship for all the MA1SAD league. Shayna Eigen received the plaque award for her leadership and her ex­ ample of time spent practicing during all her three years on Kents Hill’s varsity. Every member of the team improved in many ways. Ayumi, Melissa and Jen Ballard all became proficient at placing the ball away from the opponent and in thinking and strat­ egy. Shayna's improvement in consistency led her to some of the longest rallies of the sea­ son. Petra and Amy developed very effective serves that made huge differences in their matches. Jenn Bailey and our captain, Masumi, mastered very strong service returns that caught their opponents flat-footed time and time again. Amy Drake received MIP for overall improvement in all her strokes both in singles and in doubles. JV tennis saw ten girls who had never played tennis before on sign-up day. By the end of the season, everyone had played some matches with success and confidence in scor­ ing. The progress from nothing to consistent forehands, backhands, volleys and serves was phenomenal. The coaches loved the enthusiasm and progress of all the players and want to thank everyone for learning to enjoy the life sport of tennis. It's a great sport and you were a great team!

Snow covered the courts until sev­ eral weeks after spring break and, consequently, the team was ill-pre­ pared for its first couple of matches against Hyde and Gould. Those early season, lopsided defeats made it clear that there would be tough competition throughout the MAISAD league. The Huskies hung in tough though and played some league foes, before ending the sea­ son with hard-fought rematches with Hyde and Gould in which the Huskies lost 3-2. In the MAISAD tournament, first singles' player, Na- tan Obed lost a close match in the first round to the eventual winner of the tournament.

While our record did not make us champions, (3 wins, 6 losses, with an additional JV victory over Gould), many other factors made us winners. The team played with determination and fine sportsmanship. Each player gave her all without complaining during practices and games. Our skills continued to improve throughout the season. New players gained confidence and finesse with the encouragement of their fellow experienced players, and especially under the leadership of our two captains Jessica Heath and Trisha Abramson. We are lucky to be losing only two players this year, Jessica Heath and Nancy Godfrey. While we will miss their talents, strength, and enthusi­ asm next season, we are lucky to have a strong backbone of returning starting players in Elizabeth Eisele, Kendra Emery, Trisha Abramson, Annie St. John-Rheault, Danielle Dutilly, Jenny Pearce, Eliza Collins, Heather Whittier, Emily Girvin, and Clara Howe.

In developing sportsmanship and team pride the '94 lacrosse team were real champions. Led by six seniors, in­ cluding captains Casey Piche, Sam Bridge and Andy Barbaro, along with Steve Butters, Brian Logue and Jay Shanahan, the varsity worked hard to lead a very young team to a competitive level of play. Highlights of the season included our victory over Gould Academy, Casey's selec­ tion to the all-state team, Sam and Jay playing in the all-star game, opening the season in the rain at Cape, running the ski hill and facul­ ty/student lax scrimmages. An inter­ national flavor and lots of hard work came from Luis Madrazo and Sascha Bruss. The JV lacrosse program showed great promise with under­ classmen developing into a talented squad. Victories over Hyde, Hebron, Gould and a third place finish in the JV Lax tournament showed great promise for future varsity success. Led by swing players Matt Seney and Tuck Meyer on attack, scoring was frequent. Captain Joel Hurlburt along with midfielders Stacy Lloyd, Galen Ricci, Rob Waters and Tom LaVeen jelled into a strong team.

I promise to keep them brief. As you leave Kents Hill, and as you come back to it in years ahead, I hope you will keep these thoughts in mind. Be honest. It is sometimes easier in the short run to tell a lie, but the price you pay will be both your reputation and your self-respect, two priceless gifts that only you can give yourself. Care about your world. Make a difference in it. Don't be content to let others solve society's problems; go out and do it yourself. Be patient with your parents. I know that for the past four years or so they have seemed to be insensitive, rigid, and demanding. You will be surprised by how reasonable they will seem in ten year's time. Don't use drugs. If you drink, after attaining majority, don't drive. Provide yourself with intellectual nourishment. Remember that the brain is like a muscle; if it is not exercised, it becomes flabby. Vote, and know whom you're voting for. Practice safe sex. For every hour of MTV that you watch, balance it with an hour of PBS. When you shake hands, use a firm grip and look the person in the eye. Care about those less fortunate than you. Never forget that rich or poor, black or white, male or female, we are all equally God's children and all deserve a chance to be respected and loved. Don't litter. Keep your shoes shined and your room neat. Try to learn to love yourself, not for your accomplishments or talent or beauty, but because of your innate capac­ ity for good, and love your neighbor for that same capacity. Finally, seize an ideal, fix upon it, and never let is fade from your sight. It is in the pursuit of such an ideal, sus­ tained throughout your life, that you will find happiness. 92 �I A IL •# ■' ife&C' r I 1 '■’ \ f g & 4 4^ ‘ t MJ -- t ... • SENIORS �I Logue: Atomic, I'm glad we ended up roommates in room 411; so what if you couldn't see the floor. There are many memories, Random things falling in room 411, Silent Riaja's and opener weekend at the Loaf and how can I forget New Year's Eve and Logue, we are good like that! Mollica: Everyday we help each other survive the full 24 hours. You, Lango and myself were a dangerous threesome. The good times are uncount­ able, we were bad influences on each other but I will miss it. Casey: Grateful Dead concert weekend was the best memory with you. You always stuck by me and were there for me when I needed someone to fall back on. I will never forget both years on the ski team with you and being NEPSAC champions. Winston: I'm impressed with how you have turned your life around. You were heading nowhere, but now you're going to college. It has not been easy, the fights we've had and the beatings you gave me brought us closer together. I realize that this is the last year we will be near each other and hope that we both will stay in close contact forever no matter how far apart we are. Sendog: I have had more good times with you than anyone else this year. Practically every free day was spent skiing and raging up at Sugarloaf. Then, there was the Christmas Roadtrip. I did not enjoy the way you effectively used all four lanes on the way to Loon Mt. Good luck being at #1 on the ski team. Darren: You are a cool, down-to-earth person who I owe for always being there. Our junior year at Lake Winnepesauke is one of the best memories I have, but everyday was always a good one when you were around. Cape Cod in the fall was a blast. I'll never forget when you told me your favorite part of the weekend. Tuck: I can hardly remember the times we were together, even though they were all pretty exciting. I can't believe our hell ride in Loguester's Porche, also later on that night just having a good time. Last but not least, spring weekend at Sugarloaf. Butters: You're a person whom I will never forget. Since the first day I met you in Beall's room, things have been cool between us, at least most of the time. I can't help but remember all the good times we've had though, rather than the bad. "Two sodas and we have to put Butters to bed." Sam: It's really great you got into Hobart. I'm expecting to see you play Lacrosse for them on T.V. next year. Barbs: Look at you! Green Mountain is perfect for you, and since it's only 1 hour away I'm expecting a visit from you, it will be good, we won't have to use towels. Mom and John: I'm sure I did not meet up to what your expectations were, but 1 did get into a good college, thanks mainly for the support of you two. There is no way I can ex­ press how grateful I am to both of you. Thanks for everything, I love both of you. Dad: I know you have sacrificed a lot for me over the last four years. It has been a weird year, with you getting married again. I owe you a lot, thanks. ChUttcM Ntekefto*, iViialbtc NidcvUoK Trish-They were the best of times; they were the worst of times.

Once upon a time, a child of the woods came to Kents Hill. She was darkeyed, and her path was vivid. She dreamed in red, with fierce sparks ofgold. Like a moonstone, the light of a dream infused her days, and she ran faster - past doubt, past breathing, past the dark brooding earth. She cast a star back into the void of the universe, and words fell, sparkling like a blessing. She stood, in a red flowered dress, laughing and alive^flying into the future with joy and wonder, Mom and Dad: “home is where, when you go there, they have to take you in.” for reviving me, sweating and struggling, for Mercer, horses, the woods, my words and my dream, thank you. I love you both. Be honest, be just and fear not Brad: I learned many things from you this year, like - “don’t mess with trees or elves!” I love you, and I know you will let your light shine for your future. Sara Jane: thank you the most. I know you have the other half of my mind.. .you, most of all, know who I am.. .in some immutable, inexplicable way, you are my hidden sister, my twin soul, and it helped me survive, when you’re down in mass, you’d better come visit me at college! Ben: L®SER! elan is coming to get you! I’m gonna fail! I love you, I love you, and thank you for all the hugs, the music, the poetry, tears, running, starbursts and smiles especially the smiles. Adrienne: foster! did you finish your MA? thank you for being a sweet and loyal friend for all these years, and stay outta trouble! henna and oatmeal. Canaan: you’re WRONG! I just thought you’d need that...honestly, I needed you. thank you for the fights and the inspiration. I hope some of my hippie liberal rhetoric has seeped into you, and some of you into me. truce? Qiang: “it’s the end of . the world!” my dear Fu...thank you for helping me through physics, chem, and the newspaper, thank you n* for understanding a girl from the trees. Lena: WORD to the policy! from the pitfalls of rollerskating and projects week to the perils of jazz band and bad productions, we’ve done it, so keep singing/dancing/ laughing/ screaming...Jamal: it’s me, the Kindersurprise Invisible Daemon! stay 20% female V, PEACE/SHALOM/SALAAM. Mercy: what’s up, dude? I am so, so happy that I got to live with you this ~ year! you are the bravest, smartest girl in this school and I am proud to be your room mate, remember late lights, my phone calls, ‘it’s getting hot in here,’ and your love of physics, “you have a warning, no, really.” I will miss you so, so much. My hall: you are a unique, smart and funny bunch of women. A few words of advice: ramen is NOT a food group, do NOT cut your fish with the strainer, and always take good phone messages.

Then again, four years ago I could barely get into PG-13 movies by myself. I can’t say that in four years I’ve accrued vast amounts of high school wisdom...at least nothing I understand in the least. The only concrete thing I’ve learned is, As long as you keep your head clear, you’ll be all right. Yep. I realize that’s much easier said than done; I suppose the first step is some measure of self-control, but that’s just a guess. Kents Hill was more fun than I could ever have expected; I wouldn’t do another four years, but I’m glad for the ones I did. Oliver: Hard to pick a word to describe it—to describe the hundreds of touchdown passes on the empty field, hundreds of hours of perseverance in the weight room, hundreds of paralyzing jokes...Can’t exactly call you Duke anymore, what about Davey? Snowmobiling (branch to the face), Mission Impossible up in the rafters, two tom ACL’s. I could go on forever, and we both know it. Lajoie&Gaudet The Gruesome St. Fairy’s Twosome.

That goes for Joe Durham too, though he’ll never read this. Naif No I will NOT play your Survivor game!!! Coaches Smucker, Moore, and Dunphy There are certain things that distinguish men from boys, and they have to do with Coach Smucker’s triangle, which I believe in. Other people think I’m kidding. Thank you. G&Angel I’m taking bets on the first time I see you both on ESPN. Esse My dear chap, your procrastination is palpable. Yet, so is your insight. You possess an aptitude for the humanities which defies description, it is so multi-faceted. Also, there are few people in the world whom I know I could travel with to Sacramento and back, and enjoy every minute of it. You have no idea how great it is to have someone to talk to about everything from Chinese history to Tolkien to Chicago. Buena suerte, y vaya con Dios (o el demonio...chevere). Lena Well, I’ll say more than Oiy. Your talent is incredible. Your friendship is invaluable, and your disposition(though you may not agree) is truly sweet. Sara Jane Look! J.Crew!! Brilliant Redhead #1. “What a complete waste of entirely virgin thought.” One in a world, from the frohawk to the deviantly tied, flower-print boots. I’m still trying to figure out how you can make me see sense, yet throw sensibility screaming out the window. I love it. Ben Brilliant Redhead #2. As far as I can remember, you have always been the one to open my mind to other ways, other styles of life. And in college we’ll be, at the most, about 150 miles away.

Liam Did we really stay up until four in the frickin’ MORNING? Come to me if you ever need an incorrigible opponent. Rachel Saved you for last, because you’ve always been there until the last. We need to have one more blistering, apocalyptic battle before the year is over (God have mercy on Ms. Tumbull*snort*). Ali and Lewis? Probably. But if you toss the classes, the grades, and the heaven-and-hell viewpoints:-) aside, you have a rapport that, I’m convinced, is impossible to break.

You helped me out by letting me go to private school and making me work harder for my education and for that I am so grateful. It has been a rough few years but I made it and I give you all the credit. I know you wanted me to say something nice in here! I love you guys. Haney - you’re my best friend and I know you wont be able to read this and all but you helped me out my sophomore year and kept me in line. I know ill see you around cause I’m always fixing that damn jeep of yours. You need to get a wrangler cause the Cherokee is hurting. Ill never forget those talks we had in Wesleyan, NFL Blitz, and the time the tank was over. Tell Tara I said hi. Jen -1 know you won’t be able to read this too much either because you live in Florida now but when you come visit I will show it to you. You’re my other best friend. Ill never forget that first time we met at a Bourne hockey game. To bad I never scored or else I would be hearing that stupid cheer with my last name in it. You know that we will always keep in touch through the years and how much I’m going to miss you when we go separate ways to college. Never forget those emails you sent me! I will miss you! Cronin - you left me hanging here for another year. There are just way to many slugs around. Ill never forget the balcony, late nights on the fourth floor, and hockey season with Mr. Clean if only he could wake up on time for the games. Keep it real and ill see you around when we chill over the summer. Murphy - where are you? March break my sophomore year was the best time. Rory’s car rides sitting in the back seat and chilling with Dumas and Cronin at the beach late nights. Good times my friend. Liz -1 really don’t know what to say to you.

You’re a great girl and i’ll miss you a lot when I leave. Never forget those things you wrote in my yearbook last year. I’ll come visit you anytime. Jackson - JACKIE!! You are the chillest person I know. You don’t care what anybody says or thinks about you and that’s cool. I hope we stay in touch when I leave cause your definitely one of my best friends. Katharine - what can I say? We have our ups and downs but we always seem to come around! You are the most confusing person on the planet that I know, but I love it. Good luck in college next year wherever you go. Remember that bus ride back from Wal-Mart, and 10 minutes. I will always luvike you! I’m going to miss you.

You will make it somewhere. Meatloaf, Gonzo, and Danny boy - the other quad was better. Ha yeah right. Keep playing the guitar meathead. You’re not bad. You could be the nicest kid I know.

They’ve been some of the two best years of life mainly because that’s what the people around me have made it to be. It’s been very hard for me being away from my family and friends back m Palestine and Israel during these hard times of war and suffering in the region for two years straight. But because of the support from the people I met here I was able to manage. So I guess I have a lot of thank yous” to give out. First of all to the person who is the main reason for me coming here in the first place, Bobbie Gottschalk, executive vise-president of Seeds of Peace, who has basically become my second mother. If it weren’t for her strong lobbying, wonderful recs, generosity and incredible kindheartedness would never have been able to come here. I still would have been dodging bullets and ducking under the table while taking exams in my old school in Palestine during shellings and air strikes. Thank you, Bobbie! And of course to the Richardson’s who took me into their home when I had no where to go during the summer and Christmas. And for their wonderful support since the first time I met them. Also Mr. & Mrs. Parker for their wonderful hospitality, especially when they let me stay at their camp during the summer. And of course Mrs. Parker’s great cookies!! Oh, and again, sorry for running over you chain saw Pappy! And of course, Mr. & Mrs. B for their continuous generosity and kindness. For always having their door open and their candy basket full. And mainly for putting up with me all year long! On that note I can’t go on without mentioning my roommate, Qiang Fu. The BEST roommate any one could have. I only wish we were going to the same college. Well, maybe grad school. i! 9 And my right hand man Yves Dunnebeil who was a great friend throughout my time in KH and always 'i will be. Yo Yves you’re the coolest! As well as Ms. Peggy for helping me out with all my stuff whenever I needed and just for being there. And everyone else in the office that made my day every time I walked in. And Mr. Crane, my advisor, for his great generosity and support and all his help. I’d also like to thank everyone on second floor Sampson for making dorm life the best it could be, and for just being who you are and making 2nd floor the best dorm on campus. And of course I can’t forget my neighbor, the best neighbor any one could have, Mr. Hodgin! It wouldn’t have been the same you guys and gals I must say to include Mrs. B and our honorary member Layla. Thanks to everyone whom I’ve known and haven’t had the chance to get to know who made every day a lot easier buy a simple “hey wazzup?!” or asking how I was doing or any kind of greeting as they walk by. Thank you. Last, but not least, I would like to thank my parents for their tremendous support. I owe everything t° them. I will tiy my very best to live up to their expectations of me, as well as everyone else who invested in me. 54 f �Chris Nichols ii i' l-: !j:' i Being a Senior isn't what it’s cracked up to be I would like to thank all of those who have helped me through school, especially my dad, and grandmother.

Students had an idea that it would be Moun­ tain Day, but no one new for sure. Once they got to the Union, however, there was no doubt in anyone's mind. Mr. Bonnefond was dressed in his hiking gear - ready to challenge the mountain. Students got a bit of a sleep in, then took off in the vans and buses to Camden to climb Mt. Batty or Mt. Megunticook. They picked up their bag lunches in the parking lot and then headed up the mountains. From either peak there was a gorgeous view of the bright blue ocean and Camden Harbor. What a great way to spend a day off from classes! I j! r .Jl I ■ 1n �HALLOWEEN i ) k 103 �1 FALL PLAYS ( This year's fall plays consisted of four one-acts, giving the audience a taste of the talent that surrounds us on campus. The Concert Choir began the evening by entertaining the crowd with two musical pieces. Then the laughter began. In the first play, "The League of Semi-Super Heroes," a group of five "semi" super heroes use their useless skills to try to save their failing business. In "The Guest of Honor," Karen finds her foot in her mouth as she unknowingly offends the guest of honor. The third play, "Slop-Culture" has four thirty­ somethings pondering their options for life after college by relying on their pop culture childhoods. In "The Philadelphia,' Marcy learns that in this special restau­ rant she must order the opposite of what she wants in order to be understood! A visit from our British theatre friends also showcased the talents of four of our young men in a hilarious performance of "Hay Fever." Devan Picard and Sara Hussey in "The Philadelphia." The cast of "The Guest of Honor" take their bows. F C I. I Kyle makes a point. J Ben, Eric & Kamran in "Hay Fever" Devan looking confused. The cast of "Slop Culture" - Kyle, John, Courtney & Bethany. �HOLIDAY PLAY ■. 0 8 The Concert Choir sings "Frosty the Snowman." This year's show was titled "The Last Straw: A Christmas Fable" where a lonely, tall Ice-Elf is laughed at by the selfish Short Squat Trolls because the Ice-Elf doesn't have "short squat legs.. .his arms do not drag on the ground.. .he doesn't have short, squat, very low voice," like all the trolls. Mrs. 'Sandy' Claus visits and considers moving with Santa to the South Pole because "Santa would love the ice cream and snow cones." To promote harmony the Queen of the Ice-Elves decides the Ice-Elves will leave the enchanted city so they do not upset the trolls. But in the end, the trolls, who have had their way, become sad and see that they like the Ice-Elve's long skinny legs, and short arms that flap in the sky and high voice. And so all ends joyfully as the trolls happily learn to accept the tall Ice-Elf. The trolls check out the Ice Elf, played by John Tewksbury'. 4 * The Queen speaks to the crowd. �VESPERS !

There were many exciting moments fueled by great enthusiasm and support from KH's awesome fans. The mild fall weather added to their enjoyment. Women's Varsity Soccer had such a successful season that they went on to play in the MAISAD championship game. Although they lost, they went on to eam a spot in the New England Championships for the second year in a row. Men's Varsity Soccer just missed a bid to the NEPSAC's and the JV Soccer team made it to the playoffs. Varsity Field Hockey also had a winning season and were the MAISAD champs for the second year in a row. The Kents Hill Golf team also captured the MAISAD championship title.

'J How can we describe what happened? The season began in sweltering heat, was punctuated by torrents of rain, and prolonged by snow. We inherited a championship to defend and eleven new members of the team, four who had never before played our sport. We hoped a loss to New Hampton by the same score as last year's game augured well for us. Parents' Weekend we defeated Portsmouth Abbey in a game that taught us the only way we would win this season - by making personal sacrifices for the team's success and "playing our hearts out”. A loss to NYA nearly demoralized us, and we had to remind ourselves that "perseverance" requires "courage” and that in all "honesty" we had a "responsibility" to practice more effectively in order to play better. In our next game we defeated Hebron decisively 4 to 1. We found truth in our core values. None of us present will ever forget the remarkable games against Brewster. We played varsity and junior varsity games simultaneously because of the end of daylight savings time. We only had 21 players that day. Varsity played with 11 and junior varsity played with 10. Both teams earned the respect of the girls in Wolfeboro forcing them to play overtimes before we lost to them with identical scores 3 to 2. One of us remarked, "Now I know how a loss can feel like a win!" We would forever remember that the only thing that matters is our effort. Then came the MA1SAD championship games. At Hebron in light rain the game was scoreless at the half. Our defense was holding fast. With 12 minutes remaining we scored what proved to be the winning goal, and we were off to the championship game against Gould again! We honed ourselves razor sharp practicing to employ the lessons we had learned throughout the season when snow forced us to wait and see when and where we would play. Bethel was under a blanket of five inches. Back to Hebron to play Gould it was decided! On the second Friday of November we played the last high school varsity game in the state under slate-gray skies. Our worthy opponents expected to win. We could hear it in their cheers when they scored to tie the game before half time and when their goalie deflected our penalty’ stroke early in the second half. But we looked at each other and remembered that in every close game there comes a point when one team collectively exerts its will upon the other. We pressed our attack into their circle repeatedly trying for shot after shot. With 4:12 left to play on a comer play we had practiced all season, we scored! It worked! All that we had taught ourselves and learned worked! We brought home another trophy! We rang the bell!! >--< '. c Sam gives the ball a good hit.

On the second Friday of November we played the last high school varsity game in the state under slate-gray skies. Our worthy opponents expected to win. We could hear it in their cheers when they scored to tie the game before half time and when their goalie deflected our penalty stroke early in the second half. But we looked at each other and remembered that in every close game there comes a point when one team collectively exerts its will upon the other. We pressed our attack into their circle repeatedly trying for shot after shot. With 4:12 left to play on a comer play we had practiced all season, we scored! It worked! All that we had taught ourselves and learned worked! We Good form, Johanna! Sam gives the ball a good hit. brought home another trophy! We rang the bell!! Front: A. Davis, A. Hord, C. Hammond.

They ended their season with a final record of 7 wins and 7 losses. This put them in second place upon entering the MAISAD Tournament. They beat Gould Academy in the first round of the tournament 2-1. In the MAISAD championship the Huskies faced the Lumber­ jacks from Hebron Academy to defend their 2001 title as MAISAD champions. The game was an even match of talent, but unfortunately Hebron came out on top with a final score of 2-1. Another highlight of the season came after the disappointing loss to Hebron when they thought the season was all over: The KHS Women's Soccer team was selected to compete in the New England Prep School Soccer Tournament. As the eighth seeded team, they traveled to Governor Dummer Academy where they faced the reigning New England Champions, Falmouth Academy, in the first round. They played a hard fought game in the muddy conditions but lost 4-1. Unfortunately, we are graduating eight starters this spring. Yet the talent is deep and we look forward to our underclassmen turning it on next fall! These young women came a long way this season and we commend them for their sportsmanship and athleticism. It was a great season and we look forward to winning back the MAISAD title in 2003. B r Layla controls the game. Mackenzie takes off FJ L ” 'v v. - a. st I W. Jr / nJ u .’A- .

We ended the season with a 75-1 record, which at first may not appear that impres­ sive, but when you consider that 4 of our 5 were very close losses to teams that went on and competed in class "A" NEPSAC tournament - Bridgton Academy (10-0-1 record), we really were a team that could beat any opponent on any given day. With a distinct international flavor - we had 7 different countries represented from Spain, Germany, Korea, Japan, Canada, and Slovakia, we had a very skillful and deep team. Americans made up about half the team but oddly enough they made up for over half the scoring with MAISAD all-star Alex Shuptar being the top scorer, Brendan McInerney being the third, and tri-captain Ethan Clime being the forth. The fact that these three players were midfielders demonstrated their ability to play well both on offense and defense. The top forward, and second MAISAD all-star, was Brano Smka from Slovenia and he was our second highest scorer and will be a force again on next year's team. Other standouts from this year's squad included honorable mention all-star Daisuke Ishizu at midfield, Chris Robbins in goal and Felix Walkembach at sweeperback. As we look to the fall of 2003, we have much to look forward to. We are only graduating 6 seniors/PG's and we will be returning 12 players who started at some point this past season. Our entire forward line will be back as will two of our strongest midfielders, and three of our 4 starting backs.

The team did not have an overall winning record, but it definitely was an improvement over the 2001 season. Once again the boys showed tremendous character and sportsmanship and to their enduring credit, they never gave up trying to improve during practice and always played hard to the very last minute of every single game. Overall, they won four games and lost four games. This record did enable them to make the MAISAD playoffs where, after perhaps the hardest fought and best game of the season, they eventually lost to Gould Academy 3-1. Coach David Pearson said, "I can honestly say that this was the best group of JV soccer players I have ever had the pleasure to coach in terms of positive attitude, atten­ dance, and team spirit.

There were several injuries, without which the team may have won the series as it did last year. Everyone improved their riding this season, however. The overall attitude of the team was excellent; many in the group could make a living as stand-up comedians, especially Coach Wheelden. The boys trained at home on our many challenging trails and roads. They also trained away at Sugarloaf, Sunday River and the Snow Bowl. We had low numbers this year, and we will be graduating all but three of the athletes, so we really need a good turn­ out for the 2003 season. Special thanks go to the kitchen for great lunches, Mr. Parker and his crew for keeping our trails looking sharp, parents Mr. and Mrs.Evans, Mr. McLeod and Mrs. Toothaker for showing up at our races. Thank you especially to the Freyes for not only attending our races but also for feeding the troops. Our captain and MVP Andrew Freye deserves a special thanks as well for working hours on our bikes to keep them in good shape and for being a great captain. v. . - .V- i Bennett on the trail.

Although the team did not place first in any of the meets during the season, there were several strong individual performances, and each member of the varsity team was able to improve his or her own individual times throughout the season. The team consisted of fourteen members during the season, with nine of the runners competing at the Varsity level. A few runners were forced out of competition early in the season due to injuries, but many of them were able to work on individual programs to overcome the injuries. Our goal for the season was for each runner to improve his or her own personal times, while developing a healthy conditioning and running program that would ensure they would be able to run throughout their careers. Avoiding or repairing injuries was a key component to this goal. This year's co-captains were Ben Westlake and Rachel Culley. They led the team through warm ups and practices. We competed in four races this year. The Elan Invitational at UMA, the Hyde Invitational at Hyde School in Bath, the Kents Hill Invitational at home, and the MAISAD Champion­ ships at UMA. Our one-woman team of Rachel Culley capitalized on last year's successes and placed first in two of our races, second in one, and third in the MAISAD champi­ onship. Rachel is a strong runner who looks forward to continuing her racing career in college. Ben Westlake was the strong finisher for the men's team, generally placing in the top ten in regular season racing and improving his times greatly from last year. A strong group of runners consisting of Ted Jose, David Munson, Shoichi Toba, Ben Young, and Qiang Fu rounded out the team through the regular season. Eric Chaisson and Dan Tuttle also raced once each and had good showings. The team was generally stronger this year, and we are looking forward to bringing back three of our rising seniors next year for an even stronger season in 2003. ■■<■■■ b >■ •X.

The Huskies finished the season with a 5 - 3 overall record and 5 - 2 in conference play. Two of the team's losses were against New England champions, New Hampton and Holderness. Led by co-captains Warren Reid and Oliver Pettengill, Kents Hill had one of the most successful seasons in recent history. While the players focused on developing as a team and staying focused on the moment, the Huskies played each game with a high level of confidence. Garland Webb and Jason Williams were the key players on the offense. Thanks to a physical offensive line, they averaged roughly 200 yards a game combined rushing. James Bridges and Warren Reid led the defense in tackles and were by far the most significant part in stopping the run. Each day the players learned how to compete in a stage of “relaxed-intensity” and learned how to be physical on every play. A season to remember! i JI Garland going for a touchdown.

Third year riders and co-captains Samantha Buck and Bethany Darling have set a standard for good horse­ manship as well as excellent riding skills. Samantha has turned it up a level with her wonderful, 7 year old, Appendix gelding "American Express". The duo jumps a solid 3 foot course and is looking to go bigger - hopefully, this winter in Ocala, FL. Joe Huvelle definitely gets the "Rookie Rider of the Year" award. Joe came to Kents Hill as a junior from CT and proved he had eleven years riding experience. He is looking forward to jumping big 4'+ fences. Second year rider Allison Kendall is the proud owner of her new mount, "Ransom", a 4 year old Paint/Hanoverian gelding. He's green, but with Bethany's help, Allison is looking forward to training him. Jackie Pierce-Moran was a terrific addition to the team. Jackie has a few years of eventing experience under her belt. New riders Ted, Ji-Eun, Yesran, Pascale and Liz Richards were the most eager students Coach Hart has ever had the pleasure of teaching. All of them could successfully walk, trot and canter. They learned to tack and untack their mounts, help with bam chores, clean their tack, and most importantly do it without assistance! The team participated in jumper shows at Dog Day Farm in Freeport, Northwood Farm in Belgrade, and at Great Meadows. Samantha, Bethany and Joe were consistently in the ribbons. The team also participated in two riding clinics with grand prix rider Ken Edwards, and took a memorable field trip to Dover Saddlery. All in all, it was a great fall season!

KH won by earning the low score of 20 place points, followed by Bridgton Academy with 23, Gould Academy's 33, and Elan with 79. KH golfers Gerry Moffett and DJ Jennings were medalists for the Huskies. Moffett finished #1 overall by shooting a one over par 36 for his nine hole score. Jennings tied for fourth with a 43. The other two top scorers for KH were junior Michael Wynott with 44 and senior Yves Dunnebeil who shot a 46. Other players that day were Chris Nichols with a 47 and Jim Chapman with a 49. Having qualified, the team wants to play at the NEPSAC championships in the spring. Two days later the team revenged an earlier regular season defeat - their only one for the past two years - by beating Gould Academy 4-0. Michael Whynott, DJ Jennings, Chris Nichols and Yves Dunnebeil all won their matches. The Huskies finished their regular season at 5 -1, with home and away wins over both Bridgton Academy and the Elan School. The players worked hard again this year, with practice sessions four days per week, generally running from right after classes into the dinner hour. We were fortunate to have Belgrade Lakes Golf Course as our home course and wish to thank Harold Alfond. We also want to thank Joe Russano for being a great assistant coach! ■ Jim - It's not baseball! Open your eyes, Ben! it DJ putts his way to victory.

Many warm days in the early fall allowed us to take advantage of water activities on Echo Lake. Canoeing, tubing, and water skiing allowed the students to develop new skills as well as perfecting the perfect rooster tail. As the weather turned cooler, the club headed to the local favorites of Mt. Pisgah, Monument Hill, as well as the trails around Kents Hill. An overnight trip to Joe Dodge Lodge in Pinkham Notch, with an exciting trek to the summit high­ lighted the early part of the fall. The trek through Tuckerman's and then over the rock pile to the summit of Mt. Washington was made ever more exciting by the high winds, gusting to over 74 mph, and limited visibility due to the inclement weather. Later in the fall, a trip to Ogden Petri's ('78) camp allowed the club to see a remote part of Maine. Propane and kerosene lamps, along with wood fires for heat, added to the rustic nature of Syssladobsis Lake. I i Coaches Chick & Turnbull 3 Time to do the dishes!

I I • i I t i ! ?‘ i i ' i ■ i i ft ! i : | Peter Hodgin arrived at Kents Hill two years ago and he hasn't stopped smiling since. Petey is a credit to his profession. He is as equally brilliant as he is determined. Most nights while other teachers are asleep, Mr. Hodgin can be seen burning the midnight oil in his classroom in Bearce. We may not like doing his papers each week, but we all respect him for his dedication to our education. This is all true but what we will remember most about Mr. Hodgin is the things that people take for granted. We'll remember coming in for a 20 minute study session and staying all night talking about the most random subjects anyone could imagine. We will remember the bottomless pots of coffee. We'll remember that even when he was giving us a dean's warning it felt like he was giving us a present. The senior class dedicates this yearbook to Peter Hodgin, a teacher and a friend. I ■: d I ; i I i i ; -J ! ! -i ! i ! u» <7 "A �A Tribute to Dr. Richard Davidson VS ' • It is not often a member of the Kents Hill community makes such an impact in so brief a time as Dr. Davidson has. When 'Dr. D.' first walked onto campus in 2000 some did not know what to make of this newest member of the faculty. Ask him a question and he was some time in replying. As he tilted his head to one side, one could almost see him digesting, tossing around ideas. His reply came out in wellmeasured responses though, kindly challenging us to see the many sides of what we'd thought were the simplest of issues. Dr. D. taught us life is not only worth looking at carefully, but deserving of our careful examination. We learned that anyone who does not take the time, or make the effort, to reflect on one's words and intentions was missing out on what mattered. Dr. D. showed us that life holds too much to be taken casually, that something can be good even if you don't like it, or bad even if you do. He had us check our egos at the classroom door, and we soon appreciated his innate humanity, his basic decency, and his involvement with our ideas on a human level. No matter how unsure in our presentations, puzzled by a text's meaning, or challenged by writing those ideas clearly, Dr. Davidson assisted his students in their search for meaning. He kindled in us a respect for knowledge and an understanding in the worth of honest communication. Dr. Davidson, thank you for coming to Kents Hill and showing us how important it is to search for, and to live, the ethical life. 5 �■ y Our Headmaster ’’Z y Rist Bonnefond 6 �Richard Crane Science; B.A. St. Michael's College George Dunn Performing .Arts Chair; English, Drama; Learning Ctr.; B.A.University of Rhode Island; M.A. Middlebury Janet Dunn Dir. of Learning Ctr.

Your class has distinguished itself for its commitment to the values of community that guide our daily life, and it has been a pleasure and privilege for all of us on the faculty to work with you. ! I Now you are ready for the next stages in life: to pursue your interests in higher education and in time to choose your life's work. I am confident that each of you, whatever your field of endeavor, will make a lasting mark as a leader by example. Today, as you approach graduation, you are perhaps eager for your secondary school career to come to a close, to be able to move on to the greater freedoms and wider opportunities of adult life. I would encourage you, however, to take time to savor your final experiences here and especially to treasure your friendships.

I must say truthful I did like David Copperfield if you were at all curious. To Faculty and Staff thank you very much for your contributions and efforts of making it possible to be where I am today. And thanks for your understanding on those crazy days where it didn’t seem possible to pull through. Now to the students who I leave behind - and y ou know who you are.

I want to say thanks to you guys for everything you guys have ever done, and that I love you guys. Paige- You’re growing up too fast. You need to slow down and enjoy the next three years of junior high cause once you hit high-school its gonna be totally different. You’re turning into a real good kid don’t change your ways you don’t need to. Love you kiddo. Nana and GrampyThanks for all the help and support over the past 17 years. The best feeling is looking into the stands at a hockey game or on the bleachers at a baseball game and seeing you guys there. I love you guys. Kelli- Well the last couple years have been great. I haven’t had as much fun in my life as I have the last couple of years. I can remember going to your practices and just waiting for them to get over so I could walk you to your dorm or wherever. Staying at school until 10 just so I could hang out with you. If I was to do it all over again I don’t think I’d do one thing differently because through all of the ups and downs we’ve become stronger. I’ve never really been in a relationship where I’ve put in so much effort or even wanted to for that matter. You made the last two years more enjoyable than anyone else could have made them. We’ve had so many great memories and I know we have more to come.

I hope my life portrays the same values I see in yours. -Sarah your strength has helped me overcome huge obstacles and 1 thank you for all your inspiration and advice. -I've never really had true friends who have stood by me in good times but most importantly in the bad ones. But you Liz and Portia, you have been there thanks. I love you both and will always remember the fun times we had. Portia never forget our long runs through the woods with all the helpful talks, hehe. And Liz we had a few walks through the woods of our own, lol.

Elin Munson and Alden Winder performed a thoughtful "The Yellow Line", followed by Scott Thompson and John Tewksbury in the bizarre "Brain Sucking". Sarah Jane Follett, Oliver Grinda, Brianna Lewis, Jamie Nichols, and Danny Englehardt presented "Duet for Bear and Dog", while Scott Thompson, Liz Mehr, and first time waiter John Fox were even more existential in "Man and God". In a tribute to those touched by the 9/11 tragedy Spencer Cook, Mackenzie Gibson, Duncan McKenna, Amy Cummings, Caitlin Merrill, and Aleigh Mills were jaded urban dwellers in "Nine Ten". =1 ! 5 i iI Newlyweds Alden Winder & Elin Munson down "The Yellow Lir.

The Varsity Field Hockey team won the MAISAD Champi­ onship for the third year in a row, evidence of skill and hard work that came together. Men's Varsity Soccer was seeded #1 in the MAISAD tournament, which was quite an accomplishment, as was their participation in the New England's. Although they were not victorious, they proved that a little talent and a lot of teamwork goes a long way. Women's Soccer also battled their way to the MAISAD's, only to lose in an overtime goal. Golf went into the MAISAD's with little expectation of placing 3rd. To their surprise they just missed winning the championship! Varsity Football finished 3rd in the Evergreen League, Mountain Biking had a building year, but veteran rider Ross Dunham emerged victorious in several races. The Cross Country team persevered through injuries and wild weather to have several runners earn medals in the MAISAD championship race. Altogether, Kents Hill athletes should be proud of their many accomplishments and the good sportsmanship that dominated all their games. I ■ ■ c FALL SPORTS 121 ; �VARSITY FIELD HOCKEY i i We ended the MAISAD season with a record of 6-0 and a third consecutive MAISAD Championship! This year the overall season for Kents Hill Varsity Field Hockey team was a good one. The team and the program continue to grow with successes and new experiences on and off the field. Included in our NEPSAC games were two weekend trips out of state; first to Portsmouth Abbey (Rhode Island) and Pomfret (Connecticut) with an overnight stay at senior captain Kelli Doolin's house in Dorchester, Massachusetts. We made another overnight trip to Hopkins (Connecticut) and Tilton (New Hampshire) including dinner at junior Katie Bunten-Wren's house in Lee, New Hampshire. Both Hopkins and Pomfret are Class B schools and therefore among the better competi­ tors we played this year, in a continuing effort to strengthen our schedule. We also scored 3 second-half goals to tie the Maine western region semifinalist, Jay High School, in a game here on "the Hill" near the end of public school season. All together our record for this year was 6-6-1. We hope to continue our success next year and retain the MAISAD championship for a fourth year in a row in 2004! ♦ L Carolyn gets ready to take the ball the to net!

For the majority of the team, 9 of 14, this was the first year playing field hockey. The season started off as a shaky one with little communication and barely any team work. At even' practice we slowly progressed as a team and figured out that the only way we could play against other teams was if we went on the field as a team and communicated. The girls worked very hard, and we had fun. Our most successful game was during Parents Weekend; we played against Cony and made our only goals of the season at that game, tying 2-2, even though they had twice as many players as our team. The girls played a great season and next year we'll bring it on again for our field hockey competitors. Thanks for the awesome season girls!

With a final record of 7-5-2 you may wonder how such a statement could be made. The reason, however, is that 4 of our 5 losses were on goal games and they came at the hands of three teams who were ranked #1 in New England, #3 in New England and #6 in New England. With those kind of results, it is clear we could play with any high school team. At the end of the regular season we were seeded 5th in the NEPSAC tournament, and making the New England's for the first time that anyone at the school can recall, was one of the ultimate goals for our program. Tire team was built around a nucleus of seniors who have played varsity soccer for our team for three or four years. Included in this group were Matt Picard at stopper, Matt Sowles at sweeper, Anthony Fessenden, Jae Joo, Sang Tae Kim, and two of the three tri-captains Daisuke Ishizu and Brendan McInerney. Add to this our star striker, Brano Smka, as well as new players Drew Witherspoon, Lars Okot and Steve Belle-Isle and it was a recipe for success. Seeded #1 in the MAISAD tournament was quite an accomplishment for the team but a 2-1 loss to Hyde in a very evenly played championship game was a bit of a let down. Equally close, and equally frustrating was a 1-0 loss to the same Hyde team a week later in the first round of the New England's. The highlights of the season were three strong wins over Gould Academy and two over Richmond High School, along with a win and a tie with our rivals, Hebron. With 18 seniors graduating, it will be a "re-building year" in the fall of 2004. We do, however, have returning strength at striker with Lars and Fahed, at midfield with Drew, Folia and Ji Ho and at defense Sung Lee. A wonderfully fitting end to the season was when Brendan and Brano played in the New England all-star game with the best players from all the prep schools in New England. They played on the East team and Mr. Mac got to coach the team. The East team won the game by a score of 1-0 on a goal by, yes - Brano! - ffi. Nobody steals from Jae. Ji Ho blows by another defender.

This tends to be characteristic at the JV level, with many of the boys never having played soccer prior to their arrival at Kents Hill School. Add to this the international flavor of the team with students from America, Palestine, Korea, Japan, Germany, Austria, and Spain and you get some indication of the challenge in bringing them all together to play an English game! True, the team did not have an overall winning record. In fact, they only came out on top in 2 games against Hyde and Jay High School. Perhaps more important than simple goal statistics, they continually demon­ strated tremendous character and sportsmanship and to their credit, never gave up trying to improve during practice. They always played hard to the very last minute of every single game. Indeed, one of the most exciting matches of the season - played in snow flurries and waning light - saw a heartbreaking goal from Hebron in the last few seconds of the game which knocked us out of the MAISAD playoffs. The closeness of this game characterized the later part of the season and to the team's enduring credit did little to diminish either spirit or enthusiasm for the game. It was a great season played by a great bunch of student athletes and while it is an old cliche that winning is not everything, the JV soccer team is proof of it.

This year's team, at first glance, appeared to be in a rebuilding situation after the graduation of 10 players from last season. However, after a very slow 1-4 start the team quickly came together and went 6-2-1 for the rest of the season and earned their third straight trip to the MAISAD championship game. The championship game against Gould was one of the best soccer games ever played by a KH squad. The team fought the wind, cold and a strong team for 96 minutes only to lose 0-1 in double overtime. The team will miss the graduation of its 5 senior athletes (Stephanie Tewksbury, Kate Webb, Shannon Murphy, Jennifer Corson, and Verissa Montalbano), but we return a very strong group of players for next season and hope to return for another try at the championship trophy.

BIKING The 2003 Kents Hill Mountain Biking team was made up of 2 returning riders and twelve new riders. Regardless of each individual’s experience, each rider displayed a lot of hard work and determination in a sport where those ideals are paramount to success. Mountain biking is a grueling sport for both the body and mind and it took most of us a while to adjust. Coach Wheelden even warned our riders on the first day, "This is not fun." But, as time rolled on and practices came and went, our riders began to push themselves more and more and by the first race of the year, we were ready for anything - except multiple hospital visits! Charlie Mele fell and needed fifteen stitches in the first race, forcing him to sit out a few races. He's got a nice scar to show for it though! Injuries and foul, rainy weather aside, the team persevered and with Ross Dunham placing 2nd overall individually, we earned a 2nd place finish out of three teams. At our own homecoming race here at Kents Hill we worked very hard during the race and earned every point that we scored. This is a theme that occurred often throughout our season. We placed third overall but we had some strong performances from our two varsity riders, Ross Dunham who won the race, and also Bennett Guerrette who placed ninth. Our next race was sabotaged by horrible weather, the flu that was enveloping campus and some plain bad luck. But by the fourth race which was held at Sugarloaf, our team began to form a cohesive unit and we took a third place out of four schools. Ross Dunham again won the varsity race, and Petr Bouchal placed second in the JV race followed closely by Tom Ziegler. Chris Blois and Cameron Stalnaker had strong showings and scored points, and Andrew Toig ran the last 2 miles after sustaining a flat tire, demonstrating to his teammates and coaches the meaning of determination. The final race of the regular season series was at Gould. While the varsity performed solidly, the JV team placed second for the first time during the season. For the season series Kents Hill placed third as a <51;. - '.r\' / /T'McrX/ ; Jared waits... Ross gets ready for the race. team. Ross Dunham won the individual championship for the series. The last race of the year, the championship race, took place at cold and snowy Sunday River. Our riders, though stunned by the biting cold temperatures, displayed a vast amount of heart and determination throughout the race. Ross Dunham took home the individual championship race with a well-deserved win in his final competition. As a team we finished second in the championship race, an improvement from our team series standings. This was a team that discovered itself throughout a long and grueling season. Every rider contributed to the group and should be proud of the effort they gave. J Jared and Andrew get ready.

Although the team did not place first in any of the meets during the season, there were several strong individual performances, and each member of the team was able to improve his or her own individual times throughout the season. Nineteen students showed up for the first day of practice, and after our first 3 miles, we were down to the nine students who eventually completed the year. Our team goal was for each runner to improve his or her own personal times, while developing a healthy condi­ tioning and running regimen that would ensure they would be able to run throughout their careers. Avoid­ ing or repairing injuries remained a key component to this goal. This year's Co-captains were Ben Young and David Munson. We competed in six races this year against Richmond, Hebron, and Elan, and participated in the MAISAD Championships at UMA. Liz and Ali ran great races each week for the women, generally finish­ ing near the middle of the pack. Portia had two strong races, earning medals in both the Elan Invitational and the MAISAD championship. Jacob Preble was the strong finisher for the men's team, generally placing in the top ten in regular season racing and also receiving medals at the Elan and MAISAD races. A strong group of runners consisting of Travis Johnson, David Munson, Casey Tuttle, Ben Young, and Steven Murray rounded out the team through the regular season. What does 2004 hold in store? Steve Murray was the lone freshman in a group of seniors this year and he will be our only returning runner, so recruiting and building the team will be the focus of the fall.

The Huskies finished the season in third place in tire ten-team league by defeating Portsmouth Abbey 27 - 15 in the consolation game. A week prior to the Abbey game, the Huskies outperformed their rival, Hebron Academy, under the lights at home to record a 7-6 win. Throughout the season the players learned many valuable lessons. They realized the value of teamwork and they found ways to successfully handle and battle through adverse situations. Steven Trombly, Marcus Shell, Adam Buckingham, and Garland Webb all received All - League Awards in their respective positions, while sophomore Zac Wilson was voted Honorable Mention as a linebacker.

The 2003 season kicked off at Belgrade GC on Monday, September 22nd when the Huskies tied a home match vs. Gould. Gould then beat us by one at their home course. We swept Elan here and there, and lost twice to a strong Bridgton team. Our regular season record was 2-4-1. Going into the MAISAD's, we weren't even sure if the team could earn second place, let alone win. The players brought their best games that day though and with all but one of the six foursomes finished, KH had the trophy, but the last BA golfer came in with a unexpectedly low score and BA suddenly had the win. KH golfers Tim Revell and Mike Whynott were med­ allists for the Huskies that day. Other KH Golf team members include: Zack Dick, Ben Krall, Rich Bosari, Jarrett Paul, Ross James, Harrison Wolfington, and mid­ season arrival Tyler Evans. The 2003 team was lead by captains DJ Jennings and Mike Whynott. Asst. Coach Joe Russano and Coach George Dunn were pleased with an overall positive season. Jarrett putts his way to victory.

Season highlights: ’Taking out the docks was a fun and speedy process. ’Then there was the time we moved furniture and were told we wouldn’t need shoes, so one girl didn't put any on, but it turned out she did need them. ’Playing horse at Ms. Chick's camp was fun. Dave is the Master. ’Who better to cheer on the Field Hockey team than the Outing Club! ’Louise's grave was a force to be reckoned with! ’A visit to the Freyeburg Fair was filled with education of all kinds. We couldn't get back on the bus until we told something we learned. What did you leam? "How to get taken." "How many times I can ride the zipper before throwing up." "Something or other about pigs." ’Watching "Never Cry Wolf" was a turning point in the season. Everyone should leam to mark their territory the way he did. ’It's the last canoe trip of the season. A bunch of students decide to take a trip to one of the islands in the lake. Against her friends' better judgement, one girl jumps into the 30F water. Screams and shouts come from the water, maybe even a squeal or two. Then she rushes out and says, "It wasn't that bad!" Another girl goes in to check it out - she screams to those on shore in a way that makes it seem as though it is "that bad". Now they both deny it - although they lost color and feeling in their feet! i i ■ i' Front: Spencer Cook, Kate Aldrich, Liz Mehr, Barbara Samuels, Pippin Frisbee-Calder. 2nd row: Coach Shauna Turnbull, Cameron Ainsworth, Barrett Littlefield, David Hamaim, Adam McConney, John Geist, Scott Thompson, Coach Diane Chick. 140 Hr H. 4% L’ ‘ IL .. f > K -*1"* -Ur ", �EQUESTRIAN v'' F •■■ -t gfe 5 * <• ■ - 1 / J j- i • r ■ ■-. -1 ____ I I i \\ x\ W A i J /; I 11 \ ( £«autruai initc J 1 I ■i ;•.. t • ’■ !■' . ■=r-= ! �Right: Women's Basketball player Jackie Gershman-Mannocchi sets up the play.
