Since the first day we walked onto the hill in 2009, Mr. Moore has been an influential member of our class. As our class advisor, Mr. Moore has guided and assisted each one of us as we've gone through our journey at Kents Hill. As well as being our class advisor, Mr. Moore plays a vital role in our community's environment. His love for the outdoors is evident through his creation of our community's garden. Mr. Moore's care and compassion for the earth is comparable to the care he has given to us over the past four years. Just as he has watched the garden grow, he has watched our class grow from awkward freshman into confident, mature individuals. He has been nothing but a caring figure during our time at Kents Hill and an inspiration for our class. Mr. Moore's efforts have impacted each one of us greatly and they will not soon be forgotten. For everything you have done and continue to do, we thank you.

KR: I remember freshman year, when we were sitting in the Jacobs lounge eating ghetto Oreos and talking about how different Kents Hill was from NYC. We have come so far from this point. From Mississippi and New York City you have become easily one of my closest friends. You are easily one of my favorite people to vent and gossip with, and I don't know what I am going to do without your advice and wisdom next year. I’ll miss you so much! You know you love me, xoxo Gossip Girl SP: I can remember our first interaction: you were sitting in my seat in Pearson, and I kicked you out of it. Since then, we have become very good friends. From third wheeling in Myrtle Beach to going way too hard on our econ project, you have always been there to hear my issues and make fun of me. Also, if you ask me to tell you what happened to Harry Potter I might punch you in the face. I’m going to miss you so much, best of luck at St. A’s. SM: I’ve known you for three years now, and we just became friends this year, which was long overdue. I love you so much, even when you force me to take selfies with you. You are so good to talk to and always have very level headed advice, which I’m really going to miss having next year. Also, who is going to be around to eat my purple SweetTarts? Love you Dophus, I’m going to miss you. AD: Where to begin. You’re my little laxitute, and I have no doubt you are going to be a great collegiate lacrosse player. Not to mention playing sports without you is going to be weird. I’m going to miss mooching food off of you, swimming in the lake and watching questionable TV on Netflix. Love you a ton! Swaby, Nel, George, Trevor stay elite and always represent Swaby Nation. #top5 KHFH: You guys couldn’t have made my senior season any better. From crushing Hebron in the MAISAD championship to upsetting Brewster at the beginning of the season, we became so close and I’ll miss you guys a ton. McMahon, thanks for being a great role model and coach! KKB: Even though I went into the season with dread, I can honestly say that I loved every second of it. It was always funny and always an adventure. I’ll never forget the traumatic lobster boat ride back from Isleboro or eating obscene amounts of food at Subway. Mr. Smucker, being on duty with you and being coached by you has been interesting to say the least. You never fail to put a smile on everyones faces, and I’m going to miss you next year. Mom: Ah, Martha. You have been one of the best friend/role mode/ parent a girl could ever hope for. I’m going to miss you more than you think I will, and I know you are going to be constantly harassing me via FaceTime. Love you lots, thanks for everything, I couldn’t have done it without you.

I Babs has been our class advisor for four years. She has helped us with countless fundraisers for our class - bake sales, dress down days, wreath sales at Christmas to name a few. She has always been there to support our efforts to raise funds for our class trip and gift to the school. Babs has also been consistently involved with prom, helping others to ensure that the students will have fun and attend an event they will remember for years to come. She brings excitement and enthusiam to everything she does and the senior class wants her to know they appreciate her efforts on their behalf. Thank you, Babs! Mr. McInerney, the class of 2014 wants to thank you for bringing back the positive atmosphere to the KH community. Your respect for the traditions of our school is appreciated. You know all of us by name, keep track of what we are doing in school and on the playing fields and cheer our successes in every way. We see you teaching in your classroom and out on the tennis courts - your love for Kents Hill and its' students is evident. We are happy that you will be leading Kents Hill School for many years to come. 4 �The Kents Hill School Community wishes to express their gratitude to these members of our community... :Mr. Richard Crane has been on the faculty of Kents Hill School for 42 years, starting in 1971. Although he has been in semi: retirement for the last few years he is regularly sighted in and around the dark room of the art studio. Over the years Mr. Crane lhas taught hundreds of students physics, astronomy, mineralogy, and many other classes. Since his semi-retirement he has immersed himself in his passion for photography. We have been privileged to see some of his work displayed around the : school. Mrs. Janet Crane began her teaching career at Kents Hill in 1988, although she lived on campus with the Crane's two children, Matthew and Meredith. In her time on the Hill, with her patient manner, she has helped many students through the mysteries of 'chemistry. She is currently the Science Dept. Chair and has been a positive role model for many new teachers. Mrs. Crane also worked with students in Rec. Tennis teaching them the basic skills of the game. Mrs. Deidre Wheelock comes from a long line of Kents Hill alum. She brought her children Cheryl, Mike and Geoff to Kents Hill School in 1987. During her tenure here she has taught psychology and health. She also created a highly popular choral program that performed for many years. Mrs. Wheelock was a skier and she coached Rec. cross country skiing for many years. For years she organized the two community service days per year that we continue to do. Mr. Thomas Kozub, affectionately known as "Knuckle", came to Kents Hill School in 2000. He taught history and coached football and JV basketball for many years. Currently the History Dept. Chair, he has brought his enthusiasm for history to countless numbers of students with good humor and fairness. He cheerfully oversaw the Work Projects assignments, a herculean and thankless task, for which the entire school benefits. Mrs. Barbara Kozub also began her teaching career at Kents Hill School in 2000. Working in the Akin Learning Center, her patience and dedication to her students has been greatly appreciated by numerous students and parents over the years. Her cheerful smile and sense of humor will be missed by the students and LC faculty alike. Mrs. Kozub also was the editor of the school magazine, Kents Hill Today. Mr. Randy Richardson came to Kents Hill School in 1998 as a teacher in the English Department. He also coached field hockey for many years as well as skiing and softball. If one goes over to the ski hill in the winter, they most probably will run into Mr. Richardson - it is his home away from home. He has taught many students to ski and enjoy the abundant snow that is on the hill. When he talks about skiing, one can see it is one of his passions in life. Our best wishes to all of you in your retirement from Kents Hill School. Your dedication to your students is admired immensely - please come back and visit us often! �i: ■ Richard Crane Art i George Dunn Performing Arts Chair English, Drama ! ! i Janet Dunn Director, Akin Learning Center Deidre Wheelock Psychology Janet Crane Science Dept.

I �Slidell Mission Trip In March, 17 students and 8 adults returned to Slidell, LA for the ninth annual mission trip to the Gulf Region for hurricane recovery. This year, the team was hosted at the Epworth Project, the single remaining recovery center in the region. This was a homecoming of sorts as previous teams from Kents Hill School and the Readfield UMC have been working with this group since its inception following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Nine years after Katrina, the need remains great. The team worked on several different houses performing construction, roofing, drywall finishing and trash removal and demolition. The work was both important and rewarding, but it's the people we meet and the stories we hear that make this trip really memorable. Reluctantly, we returned to Maine at the end of our week but we will be back in 2015 for the tenth anniversary trip! V* ■ ivjt �I .!

Jacob Daniel Sclar Over the years at Kents Hill I have really found who I am. I have made many friends, and I know many of those friendships will last forever. I’m a little nervous to go to college without this community. It has truly been some incredible years. The memories from the thirds field to running for class president will be with me always. On top of having some of the greatest friends I feel the relationships I have made with my teachers have been just as strong. There are some faculty members that truly make the campus what it is, and it’s been humbling to be taught by them. I don’t want to be mushy because it would recognize that my time here is coming to end, but, Thank you to the community, Kents Hill School will always be my home. th! __J____ �r Harry Adams Class of 2014 *■ .

Read it carefully for it pro&shy; 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&shy; sponsible role in the community. You will work, think and play together — this is simply an outline of campus life which requires your par&shy; ticipation to make it purposeful and meaning&shy; 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&shy; fluence in their lives. Chartered in 1824, Kents Hill has made her way known through the lives of many genera&shy; 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&shy; try to grant degrees to women. Experience has justified the school’s belief in coeducation as the most natural preparation for normal, hap&shy; py adult living. Every possible effort has been made to pro&shy; 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. I * 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&shy; 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&shy; 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&shy; couraged to attend all athletic con&shy; tests, plays, enter&shy; tainments, and so&shy; cial occasions unless regular school appoint&shy; ments prevent. Birthday parties are held in the Headmaster’s home once a month. This is a long standing Kents Hill tradition. Each athletic season ends with a sports ban&shy; 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&shy; 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 music from the Bearce Hall tower music system 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. &lt; Each spring certain senior privileges are granted to the outgoing class. &lt; 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 The campus buildings include Bearce F “ 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, study hall, music studio, class rooms, the historical room and the alumni office; the Newton Gymnasium, used for boys’ and girls’ athletics and as an audi&shy; torium; Jollity Manse is used for infirmary, 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’ ath&shy; letics. The 50-acre campus provides ample space for an eight-lap cinder track, football field, baseball field, softball and field hockey field, ice hockey rink, eight all-weather tennis courts, soccer and lacrosse fields and a picnic area with fireplace. The school property also includes the Outing Club Cabin on Lovejoy Pond and the ski area on Torsey Pond with ski jumps, downhill and slalom slopes, and two ski tows. 10 �to □ gB jar ::s.i Ina III n 0 9 L_ CAMPUS BOUNDS Life at Kents Hill is centered in our own campus activities, and students do not leave the campus without special permission except to go to the Post Office or Torsey View House at specified times. Boys and girls may walk together on the front campus as far as the Post Office. When leaving the campus or attending some function on campus at which universal attendance is not required, students should sign out or check out according to the dormitory regulations (see page 13). The time for girls to be in the dormitory changes seasonally and is posted. Students should not be in Bearce or Ricker Halls except for class, extracurricular or other regularly approved appointments. Students should not visit other dormitories than their own without permission from those in charge of both. 11 �POST OFFICE AND BOOKSTORE Students may go to the Post Office during morning break or after classes and at any time during the day when they have free time. See special privileges of Effort and Scholastic Honor Roll students on pp. 31-32. Snacks may be purchased and eaten at the bookstore in Bearce Hall basement. Students who have earned the privilege may visit campus bookstore during free periods. HOURS FOR TORSEY VIEW HOUSE The Torsey View House- in the village, run by Mrs. Mary Schultze, serves refreshment^ Students may go there at the following times: zSunday from 9:30 to 10:45 A.AL and from 2:00 to 4:30 P.M. when no school appointments prevent... / / / / / Only senior students with permission to smbkc at school will be allowed to smoke at Torsey Vi^v House. &lt; 12 5 �DORMITORY CHECK-OUT SYSTEM Students are required to sign out in the book placed on the desk in the first floor corridor when leaving the campus. In signing out, the student should give exact destination, time of leaving the dormitory, and time of return. Stu&shy; dents should sign out for themselves only, using their last name and first initial if necessary for identification. When leaving the dormitory during activity period or at other times to attend a function on campus, students will sign out in their cor&shy; ridor book. It is not necessary to sign out for any func&shy; tion at which attendance by all students is required. PERMISSION TO LEAVE BOUNDS AND WEEKEND PERMISSIONS One automatic weekend is allowed each stu&shy; dent each trimester. No weekend is permitted for students on teams when games are scheduled, but two short weekends may be taken after games to substitute for a long weekend. Exception from this rule requires a student to gain per&shy; mission from both his coach and the director of athletics. The first weekend privilege available to stu&shy; dents is the fourth weekend after the Septem&shy; ber opening of school. 13 �No weekend privileges are allowed the weekend preceding or the weekend following vacations. One extra weekend may be taken during each of the winter and spring trimesters by obtain&shy; ing honors on either the scholastic or effort honor roll of the preceding trimester. The earned weekend privilege depends on the student’s citizenship record as well as the grades he has received.

They are to explain or supple&shy; ment material in the course. Take notes and keep them, both on what the teacher says, and on approved remarks of the students. Take part in the discussion, not only orally, but silently. That is, formulate an answer to every question asked, whethei 3. 26 4 1 �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&shy; thing to add, take the trouble to volun&shy; teer your informa&shy; tion or idea. If you disagree or misun&shy; derstand, ask courteously for explana&shy; tion or proof. 4. Take down all assignments exactly, keep&shy; 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. G. If you have missed an assignment be&shy; cause of absence, on the day of your re&shy; 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&shy; mentals of the subject or to broaden your acquaintance with it. Make use of the library. 27 3® I 7 �8. 9. 10. Ask extra help of your instructor, or dis&shy; cuss points of interest about which you have a question to ask or a contribution to make.

A few years before that time the foun&shy; 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. �KOTS HILL SCHOOL r. 5 rr rr acont Handbook 18664967 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

School Catalogs and the author. Robert E. Warrington. Foreword This is the story of the school called Kents Hill. It is the story of the Founder, who was not vision­ ary but who had a vision. It is the story of the men and women, boys and girls, who helped the vision of the Founder come true. It is the story of sacrifice, work, and victory. A great light shone in the distance, and men and women marched toward it, often over rough and stony paths. They laughed as they toiled toward the light. It was a great adventure. It is the story of the boy who boarded himself, and often wondered what the next meal would be, and laughed as he wondered. It is the story of boys who worked on farm or in the shops five hours a day for their board; who played their jokes and sang at the bench. The story of boys who made furniture and shoes, and studied, and later became congressmen, lawyers, doctors, divines, teachers, college presidents. The story of other boys and girls who here prepared to go back to their com­ munities to fill less prominent, but no less impor­ tant, places in the everyday life of their towns and state. It is the story of boys who played the game of life; the story of games lost and won; a story of cooperation in the making of men and women; a story of emphasis on right living. It is the story of a beacon light on a high hill, where beacon lights are always placed. FRONT COVER: The Campus at the turn of the century. Blethan Hall. Bearce Hall, a bam, Sampson Hall. �One Hundred and Fifty Years Ago, and Since In 1820 Luther Sampson, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, organized, endowed and incorporated the “Readfield Religious and Charit­ able Society.” Shrewd, devout, and purposeful, he had built up a competence from the small grant of land which the government had made him in return for his military service; he was concerned over the poor quality of preaching in the churches, the inadequacy of ministerial support, and the lack of educational opportunities for youth of limited means and this organization was the result of his thought and generosity. It’s incorporation was one of the first acts of the first legislature of the new State of Maine. The same year Elihu Robinson, a carpenter of Augusta, likewise moved by the inadequate edu­ cational facilities of the day, particularly for pro­ spective clergymen, opened a school in his own house, his wife taking some of the students to board in their own home. Friends of the two men brought them together, and they decided to combine their efforts and resources. As a result, on February 27, 1824, a school was formally opened in a small wooden building owned b'y Mr. Sampson on the northwest slope of Kent’s Hill in the town of Readfield; and in 1825 the Maine Wesleyan Seminary was incorporated as the successor of the Readfield Charitable and Religious Society. This first build­ ing, with one hundred and forty acres of land, some livestock and farm equipment, and about four thousand dollars in money and securities, were presented to the school by Mr. Sampson, and constituted its original endowment. The building still stands, and across the road is the old Sampson Homestead, still occupied by his descendants. The watchword of the school has been Christian Education where Christian Education was needed. When no education beyond the rudiments was available for youth of limited means, it supplied that need, and has done so ever since. When training for shop work or for agriculture was needed but scarcely considered a function of a school, this school was a pioneer in those lines, and maintained them until other agencies took them over. When college training became rec­ ognized as desirable for women, Maine Wesleyan organized a woman’s college and supported it until sufficient opportunities opened for women in institutions exclusively of college grade, making it no longer necessary for a secondary school to maintain such an adjunct. When the churches were in critical need of educational opportunities for their prospective leaders, Maine Wesleyan was organized, and training such men has always been its purpose and its privilege. When demands arose for musical and commercial training, departments were or­ ganized. And when public high schools began to come into their own, making so many academies unnecessary except as they became high schools in all but name, the old Seminary on Kent's Hill survived; and it survived because there still has been and always will be a need for the kind of service which it and other strong schools of its type can render. Struggles, discouragement, and threats of dis­ aster marked the early years of the school, but the high purpose of its founders and the devotion of its leaders would admit of no defeat. Forming no organic connection with any other organization and recognizing no sectarian limitations, it has been strengthened by the mutual benefit and inspiration of an alliance with a church noted for its spirituality and its interest in youth. Or­ ganized to put the best type of Christian Education within the reach of youth of limited means, it owes its existence and growth to its adherence to that ideal; and to-day the school, with several hundred-fold its original means, is still straining every resource to accomplish its purpose. Its success is measured in the lives of the 15 thousand students who have come under the influence of its spirit. i �Z5 q ■ '■ .<v 3 pl 7^13 J. :n...u- ?; £ ' , fii iii ..Si a SUL ■;-! ? y when it was razed and its brick were used in building “Dr. Torsey’s Seminary” which stood on the site of the present Bearce Hall.

The New School 1824 On February 27, 1824, Mr. Robinson formally opened his school in the “New House,” (commonly known as the 1821 House) which was later en­ larged and named “Wesleyan Mansion.” School was probably carried on for the first year with only Mr. and Mrs. Robinson as instructors, al­ though there is some evidence that Henry Cush­ man assisted. On March 22, 1824 within a month of the formal opening, a committee was chosen to pro­ vide a schoolhouse, with the result that the “Old House” was purchased of Mr. Sampson. It was located a little to the south and west of the “New House” until it became too small for its original role and was moved to perform the humbler ser­ vice of a woodshed for the “New House.” The second story of the “old house” was used by self boarders and was dubbed “Oregon.” Less than two months after the purchase of the “Old. House” for a recitation building, plans were being laid which resulted in the erection of a two thousand dollar “Seminary Building” of brick, much more adequate to the needs of the popular young school. The new building, Wesleyan Semin­ ary, stood to the west of the present 1821 House, somewhat nearer the street, “between the elms.” In 1837, the New House was enlarged and be­ came Wesleyan Mansion, the first dormitory for girls, with accommodations for thirty-five students. “Wesleyan Seminary” served its purpose as a recitation building and dormitory until 1844 Department of Industry None were admitted into this department under 14 years of age, and none but regular mechanics were received into the Machine Shop for a less term of time than three years. The means of labor, sufficient to defray the expense of board, was furnished for about 45, who received a compensa­ tion according to their disposition and ability to labor. George Hinmans Reminiscences The old Seminary as I remembered it was a three story brick building, I should say about 100 feet front by 60 feet deep. It was cheaply construc­ ted, and there were fears of its safety in the minds of some of the more timid. If I remember correct­ ly, it was entirely unfinished as to paint, paper, or plastering. The flooring overhead was exposed. 2 i �the advantage. The health of the students seemed to have been perfect. I do not remember a single death, or any case of severe illness among the students during the time I was there; and as to a physician being called, such a thing was unheard of. I had at one time a very painful felon on one of my thumbs, but dear old Master Burnham opened it at the proper time with his jack-knife which he had sharpened for the purpose, and applied a poultice made from the inner bark of the bass­ wood tree, and I was soon relieved from suffering. Notwithstanding the felon, I look back upon my three years at Kents Hill with pleasant memories, and as an oasis that will always remain green, fresh, and fragrant in the retrospection. though I think the timbers were planed. The stairs were in the center, one flight above the other from basement to attic. The first floor on the right was the dining room, with about ten feet partitioned off from the end in two parts for servant girls’ rooms. The room on the left of the hall was the female department, with the exception of a room six or eight feet wide that was taken from one end of a storeroom, mostly for hardware, paints, oils, etc., used in the factory. The room on the second floor on the left was used for recitations and study. On the right of the hall was the room for recitations in Latin and Greek, for declamations and lectures. The third floor was a dormitory the whole size of the building, with the exception of about fifteen or twenty feet taken from one end and divided into two rooms of equal size; one was the officers’ room, the other was used for the storage of books and stationery of which the faculty kept a full supply for the accommodation of the students. The dormitory was supplied with cross-legged canvas covered cots and straw beds, which were arranged against the walls on the sides, with two boys to each. We were subjected to dis­ comfort and inconvenience, being huddled to­ gether in this great bare room, with only straw for our beds, and no possible means of heating. It was cold as the Arctic regions in winter, and intensely hot in summer, yet no word of complaint was ever made, or even thought of by one of us, as at that time it was supposed to be the customary usage — a case where ignorance is bliss. The fourth floor was the attic and was always called “purgatory”. One of the first things for every new scholar to provide himself with was an oil lamp suited to burning whale or sperm oil, as that was the only thing used for light. He must also have his gallon or half-gallon can for oil, and it became a daily duty to trim his lamp. He must also have his goose-quills and make and mend his own pens, as metal pens had not come into use. The flint steel and tinder had just been relegated to the shades of oblivion, as lucifer matches had been invented, and as a matter of necessity were to be prudently used at twenty-five cents per hundred. The “purgatory” chaps reveled in the luxury of air-tight stoves in their rooms, much to the envy of the dormitory boys; but, as to the question of good health and clear heads, the latter probably had GEORGE HINMAN. Boston, Mass., May 8, 1893. Early Principals Because of the short tenure of the men first in charge of the new school, Zenas Caldwell is often called our first principal; on his election he was made a trustee and became chairman of the superintending committee. As such, he had much to do with carrying out the provisions of Mr. Sampson’s latest agreement by framing a code of rules and regulations for the government of the school after the manner of Bowdoin College. The men in charge were apparently trying to lay a broad foundation for the school. Remember, this was in 1825. Mr. Robinson’s little private school was developing into a larger institution. It is of interest to note that one of Zenas’ in­ timate friends in college was Franklin Pierce, later President of the United States. They were room mates. It was while Zenas was principal that Mr. Samp­ son retired from the board of trustees. The Sampson family was represented by David F. Sampson (1822), an appointee of Luther, as per act of incorporation. It will be recalled that anyone giving the school five thousand dollars, or more, had the privilege of appointing an “additional trustee.” 3 �I not be abandoned because of the service they rendered. While Principal Larrabee still maintained his position and his personal popularity, he was un­ avoidably becoming involved in the institution’s impending ruin. Its resources were exhausted, and it was bankrupt; there was very little to show for the large sums that had been collected — and spent. Debts had accumulated, and public con­ fidence in the school and its management was suffering in consequence. An agent had to be appointed to sell all the available property of the institution, in order to pay its debts. Its real estate was inalienable. The sum realized by the sales made was not sufficient to balance the ledger. Mr. Larrabee’s popular administration thus closed with the shadow of financial doom enveloping the school. The hope for continued service lay now in the un­ vanquished spirit of the trustees, teachers, and friends; in their devotion to a cause; in their faith that “right makes might.” It is difficult for us to understand fully why this condition came about at a period when the school had more students enrolled than it ever had before Dr. Larrabee’s time. One term Larrabee reported 302 students enrolled. For the year 1839 the cat­ alogue names 313 students. The larger the school, the greater the deficit. Tuition at Kents Hill has always been too low. By previous arrangement the trustees were meet­ ing in Bangor at the time of the Methodist Con­ ference in that city. Unanimously, the trustees voted to surrender the institution to the Confer­ ence with the understanding that it should carry on the school. The Conference listened to the trustees’ statement of their difficulties and of their decision to act in accordance with Mr. Sampson’s provision. Unanimously and bluntly, it seemed to the trustees, the conference voted not to assume the responsibilities of the proposal. This turn of affairs left the trustees not a little disillusioned. But “where there is a will, there is a way;" and a little later the trustees convened again, this time at Kents Hill, and resolved to make one more desperate effort to relieve the financial situation, that the doors of the school might be kept open. By common consent with Mr. Sampson they finally abandoned the mechanical department which had brought on financial problems while aiding in- Catalogue Notes Principal Larrabee (1835-40) early classified the courses of study and introduced “Departments” — English, Mathematics, Natural Science, Moral Science, Belles Letters, and Languages, of which Latin, Greek, French, Spanish and Italian were taught. The Department of Industry was con­ tinued. Expenses were still kept low, $17.00 a quarter or $34.00 per term of twenty or twenty-two weeks. Mr. Larrabee continues Mr. Caldwell’s caution about finances of students; “spending money, except for postage, etc. is totally unnecessary and exceedingly injurious. ” During Larrabee’s administration the school won great popularity. So large was the attendance, upwards of 300, its facilities for student accommo­ dations had to be much enlarged. One of the outstanding accomplishments of Mr. Larrabee’s administration was the enlargement of “The Mansion” in 1837, to accommodate the increasing numbers of girls. The enlarged building became “Wesleyan Mansion”, which housed thirty-five young ladies. In spite of favorable conditions, the institution’s debts were steadily increasing. It became clear that much of the deficit came from the manual training department. We wonder, therefore, why it was not immediately abandoned. The Financial Crisis of 1844 Mr. Sampson, when planning for his school, had incorporated in his instrument the stipulation that the school should offer instruction in agriculture and in the mechanic crafts. These courses had the advantage of allowing poor boys to work their way in the shops or on the farm. Thus Mr. Sampson made the crafts a lever for accomplishing his edu­ cational purposes. As each of the young men worked five hours a day in return for board and lodging at the Seminary, the poorest boy was given opportunity for arr education, provided he was willing to work. The shops, then, were the answer to an ever-present, and growing need, and could 4 �I A load of pumpkins at Kents Hill in 1913.

It was a measure which seemed to strike at the heart ofthe school, but it was necessary. Stephen Allen relinquished SI,000, salary which the school owed him; and Luther Sampson once more came to the rescue with a generous annul­ ment of all annuities and an additional contri­ bution of SI,500 towards a new building. In addition to these reconstructive measures, the trustees were inspired to elect to the principal­ ship, Henry P. Torsey, Vice-Principal the previous year. By faith, hope, and courage, Henry P. Tor­ sey, understanding the difficulties which faced the new administration, resolved to give his resources of mind and heart to the work of educating youth, regardless of his personal financial remuneration. Like all great men, his reward would be assured by the service which he might render. In Henry P. Torsey, a man had arrived. The old building, erected in 1824 “between the elms” had become untenable. The site of the new building was on a lot purchased of David Wheelock where Bearce Hall now stands. Brick were purchased from Squire Underwood of Fay­ ette, and these, with old brick from the razed Seminary, sufficed to construct a new building 40 x 60 feet, two stories high, at a cost of three thousand dollars. Mr. Sampson had retired from active participation in the affairs of the school, but he was still deeply interested as is evidenced ■-y j ■ I Sampson Hall I Henry P. Torsey 1844-1882 The Arnold of Kents Hill Henry P. Torsey, President of Kents Hill for thirty-eight years, was born in the neighboring town of Monmouth, Maine. He early attended Monmouth Academy, later entered our school where he spent several terms, but never attended college. During his later terms he did some teach­ ing. The election of Torsey was probably the most notable event in the history of the school. by his gift of fifteen hundred dollars toward the new building. He apparently had faith in the young principal; if so, his faith was justified, for Torsey rose rapidly to be numbered among the first of New England’s educators. The effect of his leadership soon became ap­ parent. In the fall term of '44 Torsey enrolled only 82 students; 48 boys, 34 girls. Ten years after Torsey took control, he had a faculty of ten and an average enrollment of 187. Accommo­ dations for room and board were taxed within a radius of two miles. By 1853, Torsey was advocating a broader curriculum to include a college for women. The understanding with Mr. Torsey on the part of the trustees was a bit canny. He 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 little to offer save the location of the Seminary. The financial straits to which the school was reduced may be inferred from the statement of Mr. Torsey that, after paying all bills for one term, he had twenty dollars left for his services. One of the first acts of the new administration was the erection of a new seminary building, always referred to as Dr. Torsey’s Seminary. Panoramic view looking toward the north.

Affairs were moving at Kents Hill. There was need of a new dormitory. Our old friend Dr. Stephen Allen was the man of the hour. Under his hand the present Sampson Hall was erected. Ground was broken in June 1858, with the address delivered by William H. Allen, a former student and first president of Girard College. The building was dedicated in August, 1860, with an address by Dr. Charles F. Allen, a brother of Dr. Stephen, an alumnus of the school, a teacher at Kents Hill, and first president of the University of Maine. A copy of his address has been preserved. The building is a monument to the founder. Originally called “The College.” in 1872 the trustees voted that it should be named Sampson Hall. �was enlarged to embrace a course, the completion of which would entitle the young women to a degree. Kents Hill was one of the very first schools to grant degrees to women. It antedates Wellesley, Vassar, Bryn Mawr and Smith. In the 70’s several boys took their freshman college year at Kents Hill. Kents Hill has been primarily a secondary school. The College was small and graduated only about 160 young women. In 1909, the College was closed. The trustees felt that the higher education of women was taken care of by the Maine colleges which had come to admit women and which had far more to offer than Kents Hill could afford in instruction and equipment. Another addition which came in Dr. Torsey’s administration was the building of Bearce Hall. Dr. Torsey’s Seminary had become inadequate in its service for the growing school, and in 1871 it was razed and the foundations of Bearce Hall were laid. Prominent among the contributors for the new building were two trustees, Samuel R. Bearce of Lewiston and William Deering of Port­ land. Bearce Hall, with its Deering Chapel, was first occupied in the fall of 1873, at a cost of forty thousand dollars. Torsey was also interested in politics and served two terms in the state senate where, incidentally, he became intimate with James G. Blaine who gave the school bell. The Doctor spent one year in the South in the interests of the Federal Treasury Department. President Lincoln tendered him the appointment as Governor of one of the territories, but the offer was declined. Torsey apparently had qualities which would have made him successful in whatever field he might have chosen. The Torsey administration is also credited with the opening of a real music department under the direction of Professor and Mrs. Wilson F. Morse who first came to the school in 1871, and who remained as directors for a lifetime. Following his retirement as principal in 1882, Dr. Torsey was made general agent of the school, and largely through his efforts, funds were raised for a home for the President, Blethen Hall, built in 1883. The Doctor never lost his interest in the School. By his will the school received $10,000. '' .-J This bell was presented to the school by the Hon. James G. Blaine. The School Bell The school bell shown above was cast in Boston in 1871 and presented to the school when Bearce Hall was built in 1873-4 by the Honorable James G. Blaine, three times U.S. Secretary of State and a close contender for the presidency in 1884. The bell has been in constant use for some 100 years, — calling students to classes, and announc­ ing school victories. The bell has become a part of the community life around Kents Hill. So many of the towns­ people had learned to rely upon the bell to regulate their lives that at one time the bell was rung at high noon during the summer months to remind the workers in the fields that it was time for the noonday repast. May our bell long continue to send its tones over the surrounding countryside. Woman's College The year 1860 is further memorable in the an­ nals of Kents Hill, for in this year the curriculum 8 �Dr. Torsey's Last Chapel Service Rev. William Wood (’92) who lived in Doctor Torsey’s family during his four years as a student has left an account of the last chapel service of the Doctor, from which we quote: “Dr. Torsey rose, his form bent, his legs bowed, and for a moment pulled his head down between his shoulders, turtle-fashion, peculiar to him, and waited, evidently overcome, with emotion. The room was hushed. He leaned and swayed, his left hand on the desk, and his right on his trusty cane. “He turned aside from his main address for a moment to express the hope that the infrequency with which he visited the school would not be con­ sidered by anyone as lack of interest, but due to his many and aggravating infirmities; he said quietly, but dramatically, ‘If I were this moment dead and some skillful surgeon should dissect my lifeless remains, he would find at the core of my heart the interests of Kents Hill and especially my love for the Seminary crystallized.' “Three months later his eloquent tongue was hushed and his earthly career closed.” Edgar M. Smith, President, 1882-1893 The year Dr. Smith came, Dr. Torsey projected a home for the principal. One morning he came to chapel and announced that Alden J. Blethen, of Seattle, Washington, for many years the editor and proprietor of the Seattle Times, had made a liberal contribution for the new building, con­ ditioned on ground being broken in May. It was during Dr. Smith’s administration that steam heat was installed in Sampson Hall, replac­ ing the old barrel stoves of blessed memory. The long needed fine arts building, Ricker Hall, was projected and built during the first year of the following administration.

Princi­ pal Edgar Smith, Henry Trefethen, later became principal in 1829. Standing behind Mr. Smith are Dr. & Mrs. Morse who founded the Conservatory of Music. 9 I i i �The Morses and the Conservatory of Music In tracing the development of the Music Depart­ ment at Kents Hill, we find the real beginning in 1847, early in the administration of Dr. Torsey. Instruction in piano music from that time on was a regular feature of the school program and was usually under the direction of one teacher, al­ though an assistant was employed during some of those early years. Vocal instruction received some attention, and at one time, guitar music was introduced. While music had been receiving considerable emphasis in the school during these earlier years, it was not until 1870, upon the arrival of Wilson Fay and Ella Deuel Morse, that the Music Depart­ ment became outstanding in the instruction it offered. With characteristic zeal the Morses planned systematic courses to include piano and voice culture, as well as orchestral and band music. Thus the department grew and flourished. The energetic head of the department soon accomplished what may be considered his greatest work for the school, the founding of the Seminary Conservatory of Music which conferred the degree Ricker Hall — built in 1893 sociation of boys and girls, Dr. Smith exhibited equally good sense. Not that he swung too far to the left, but he saw no crime in the boys and girls walking together as they went to and from classes. In these days we smile at the suggestion; but at one time it was no smiling matter. The Doctor permitted the couples to “walk the tri” following lunch, but we didn’t go arm in arm, and we couldn’t perch on the fence. He even permitted a gentleman to call on his lady friends, in the old parlors — another unheard of innovation. It was still wicked to waltz, but we played the royal game of “tucker” which was not regarded for­ bidden by the Discipline. A reunion gathering in 1900. - ' IP 10 •; �his B.A. degree in 1893. (This same college in later years conferred upon him the degree of M.A.) The long and somewhat unusual career at Kents Hill began that fall when Mr. Newton was chosen as teacher of natural science by the trustees on the nomination of his former principal, Dr. Edgar M. Smith. In 1905, under President Berry’, he became vice­ principal and in this capacity he assumed most of the immediate responsibility for the conduct of the school, while Dr. Berry devoted his time to field work, raising money to pay school debts and en­ rolling new students. Thus, upon the resignation of Dr. Berry, Mr. Newton was well equipped to succeed him as principal; to this position he was elected and he remained head of the school for fourteen years, a term of service exceeded only by that of Dr. Torsey and William Dunn. Mr. Newton resigned in 1923 and he and Mrs. Newton spent the following year in California. The school was celebrating its centenary in June of 1924 arid Mr. Newton returned for the annual trustees meeting and the celebration. While at Kents Hill he was persuaded to accept his old position in the science department and he returned to fill it when the school opened in the fall under his successor, Principal Watkins. He remained as head of the science department for sixteen years, resigning in 1940, thus serving on the faculty for forty-six years, a record of actual classroom teaching. The Morse String Quartet. Dr. & Mrs. W. F. Morse, founders of the Seminary Conservatory, with their son Louis, instructor of voice, violin and mandolin: and their daughter Theo (Mrs. A. I. Oliver) instructor of violin, piano, and banjo. The conservatory was a pioneer in its curriculum: piano, organ, violin, band and orches­ tral instruments, with special attention to voice culture; a normal course for music teachers which included harmony, theory, music history and music appreciation. of B.M. on its graduates, and was successful from the first. A building for the growing department had long been needed and to this end the Morses had worked. Finally, in the fall of 1893 the cherished dream was nearing realization, for at that time the corner stone of Ricker Hall was laid. A year later this building, finely equipped with a Music and Art department, was dedicated; it also provided for the library on the second floor with a gym­ nasium in the basement. John O. Newton 18th Principal of Kents Hill When John Newton came to Kents Hill in the spring of 1882, he planned to remain in school but one term; however, seeing what other boys were doing he caught an inspiration from them and re­ mained for ten terms until his graduation in ’88. As was the custom in those days, he stayed out several terms during his course to meet his school expenses through teaching and other employment, making up the school work thus lost by taking examinations. After his graduation he quite naturally turned to teaching as a means of securing funds to start bis course at Wesleyan University where he received - ji .

The continual cooperation of the alumni was a matter of gratification to Mr. Newton, for he always maintained that they were the greatest asset of the school. In closing the chapter on the Newton Adminis­ tration, it may not be out of place to say that the term of Mr. Newton closed the period of the first hundred years of the school. From the election of Torsey in 1844 till the close of the Newton admin­ istration in 1923, a period of about eighty years, the leadership of the school was under Torsey or his former students, with the exception of a short period. Mr. Newton was ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees for fourteen years as principal, and was elected a regular member of this board in 1923, a total of thirty-seven years. He was presi­ dent of the board, 1933-’37; secretary 1943-’47. Such are the few facts of Mr. Newton’s life at Kents Hill. His early ambition was to study medi­ cine; but his life work has been in the field of education. He called himself a conservative and was regarded as safe and sane in his administra­ tion of the school. He also appreciated the loyalty The Alhambra Although long since razed, one other building should be mentioned, the old “Alhambra.” This was a long set of connected buildings, formerly the home of the Eaton School which eventually was located at Norridgewock. The boys’ D.O.E. (Don’t Over Eat) eating club was first started in this building and many self-boarding students found rooms in the rambling structure. The trustees purchased this old house because of its proximity to the campus, and on its site the gymnasium was erected. Girls' Parlors — 1912 12 �When the Roof was Blown Off fires quick. There isn’t a chimney standing on Sampson Hall!” In those days our rooms were heated by cast iron barrel stoves. We burned wood and learned to keep our stoves half filled with ashes, regulating the draft from the cover in the top, which we closed at night to keep the fire. When I heard the call I immediately poured the contents of my water pitcher into the top of the stove. Imagine it! How the ashes flew! On the night of November 12th, 1883, a group of students were gathered in Sampson Hall Chapel. With President Smith’s permission, Wallace Perry, Levi Powers and Edgar Fernaid had invited Clara Lunt, Ada Fernaid and myself to “an S.P.D.” (Social Peanut Drunk). Four set­ tees arranged in a hollow square, in the center a rug, some chairs, a table with a sturdy lamp, lemonade and peanuts, furnished the setting for a jolly evening. The wind shrieked and howled and rocked the building, but what did we care! At ten o’clock Mr. French popped his head in, somewhat displeased because he had been absent from the Hill and not consulted. While the boys hastened to mollify him with offers of peanuts and lemonade, we girls said a hasty goodnight and hurried to our rooms. Still the wind blew, almost a hurricane, but we were used to “breezes” on the Hill and were soon asleep. About midnight I awoke feeling somewhat nervous. Looking out, nothing seemed unusual except the swaying of the trees and I was soon asleep again. At two o’clock a crash awoke us. My roommate, Mamie Cushing, and I were on our feet in an in­ stant and at the window. We saw sparks flying and heard the crash of a falling chimney. Fire was our first thought, but the sparks immediately dis­ appeared. Then we looked out of the other window toward Bearce Hall. Such a sight as met our eyes! I shall never forget how it looked in the moonlight. Great sheets of tin roofing, crumpled like tin foil, were rolling about the yard and the air seemed filled with broken rafters and flying bricks. The tops of the little trees were broken off and a ghostly curtain flapped in the wind from a broken window in Bearce Hall. In a moment all was quiet except the wind. Then the hubbub began inside. Professor Mc­ Intire ran down the halls, calling, “Put out your Soon the halls were thronged with hastily dressed, frightened students. What had happened? We soon learned that the entire roof of the west wing of Sampson Hall had been blown off, carry­ ing in its wake all the chimneys on the front side of the east wing. After a little we found that there was no further danger, but in the excitement all rules were forgotten and the opportunity for “socializing” was too good to miss. Levi Powers told me with a chuckle of the funny sights he saw. I went back to bed and Ethel Bailey went with me. Every one else stayed up the rest of the night. The next day we looked things over. Some of the rafters were driven into the frozen ground so firmly that the workmen cut off the protruding ends and left the rest till spring. I went with Mr. French to a trap door in the roof and looked down upon the unroofed portion — entirely open to the sky, the rooms partly filled with bricks and plaster. In one of the fourth floor rooms two boys had been sleeping. When the roof went, some of the lathing held over their heads but their bed was covered with debris and bricks were piled so deep on the floor that the door could not be opened and had to be lifted off its hinges from the outside. Fortunately it was near the close of the term, so we took our examinations in a hurry and went home. When we returned from vacation there was a new roof more securely fastened, but the stu­ dents of 1883 will never forget the night when a “Kent's Hill breeze” blew the roof from Sampson Hall. WINIFRED WARE BODFISH, College, 1884 Palmer, Mass. 13 �Contemporary Events, 1824-1844 Looking back one hundred and fifty years and trying to visualize how life existed is very difficult unless the reader is aware of contemporary events. Modern conveniences were unheard of and life was much more strenuous. Kents Hill and Its Makers During the period 1824-’44, the slavery question was a living issue: it was the period which led up to the Lincoln-Douglas debate, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Garrison, Phillips, Lovejoy, and John Brown. It was the period of Andrew Jackson who was dominant 1829-’41; when Webster was one of the giants in the senate. (Reply to Hayne 1830) This was also a period of invention; the reaper came in 1831 and grain was on the way to become King, instead of cotton. Colts revolver came in ’35; friction matches and steel pens came about this time but had not reached Kents Hill in the early days when the boys made their own quill pens. The invention of the stereoscope, long since relegated to the attic, came in 1838; the Morse telegraph in 1844. The first railroad, the Baltimore and Ohio, with its wooden rails, was born July 11, 1828. Iron stoves became common about this time. Locomotives were first used in 1829. The early students at Kents Hill used whale oil lamps for kerosine was not used for lighting purposes until 1826. Much exploration of the far West was going on in this period; Dr. Marcus Whitman took his train of covered wagons across the country to Oregon; Sam Houston was freeing Texas from Mexico; the famous scouts, Jim Bridger and Kit Carson were active. We think of this era as the birth date of Ameri­ can literature. Cooper was writing his Leather­ stocking Tales, and Longfellow, Whittier, Holmes, Lowell and Poe were rising young writers. Victoria became queen in 1837. Massachusetts did not create a State Board of Education until 1837, and her first Normal School came in 1839 under the famous Horace Mann. The first Normal School in Maine, Farmington, was established in 1863, 35 years after Father Sampson started his school at Kents Hill. stiff. is The Torsey Memorial Church. Torsey Memorial Church Dedicated to Dr. Henry P. Torsey, who for thirty-eight years had been the head of the Sem­ inary and a loyal supporter of the church. The beautiful stained-glass window in front of the building is in memory of Dr. and Mrs. Wilson F. Morse, long in charge of the Conservatory of Music. General John J. Perry’s Reminiscences “Sampson Hall rooms were heated by little barrel stoves with wood for fuel, and lighted by kerosene lamps. Those stoves were often trials. When first kindled they had a sportive way of blowing the covers around the room. The boys made bets as to whose stove could blow the cover the highest. Two hundred cords of wood kept the home fires burning, and the boys got exercise by carrying the wood from the rear of the building to their rooms. To inject a little ginger into life, 14 �William W. Dunn 1942-1965 the bad boys frequently dropped a stick of wood down the well late at night. This interested the teachers! Electric lights, steam heat, and tele­ phones were far in the future. The good Lord took care of Sampson Hall or it would have burned to the ground, with all those stoves and kerosene lamps.” General John J. Perry was a student in the 1830’s; later for many years a member of the Board of Trustees. 21st Principal of Kents Hill ! Newton Gymnasium constructed in 1931. The Gymnasium The basement of Ricker Hall with its double row of posts served as gymnasium for many years, but later wras far from adequate for our needs, es­ pecially as basketball became such a prominent sport. Visiting teams were at such a disadvantage that finally our leading rivals refused to play the scheduled games on the Hill. This added to the demand for a building worthy of the school. School was his whole life. His grandfather, William Fairfield Warren, was the founder and first president of Boston University. Bill Dunn, born in Boston, attended Gardner, Mass, public schools and Wilbraham Academy. He was grad­ uated with an A.B. degree from Wesleyan Uni­ versity in 1926 and earned a Master of Arts degree from Brown University in 1934. He started teach­ ing school immediately after college, as athletic director in Pomfret, Conn. From 1934-1942, he was assistant headmaster at Vermont Academy. And in 1942 he became headmaster at Kents Hill. During his first year’s at the Hill, Mr. Dunn had to move quickly to build up the enrollment after a post depression slump. That Bill Dunn was blessed with those definite qualities of being able to per­ sonally attract students cannot be questioned. Through his individual efforts the enrollment increased from 118 when he came to Kents Hill to 173 students five years later. Sampson Hall was filled and the future of Kents Hill suddenly ap­ peared much more promising. His concept of education was not narrow or stilt­ ed. His philosophy could be summarized in the following paragraph. “There are not enough of the extraordinarily gifted students, those who will make a basic con­ tribution to life, to fill even one sizeable school or college. We have no infallible wisdom in identi­ fying such gifted persons or in developing them. It is not enough to teach only the students who have gifts that are strong and apparent. The real job of education is to recognize the potential in human beings, and to bring forth and nourish their particular individualities and their latent gifts to the fullness of strength. No more and no less can we do.” Scholastic attainment was emphasized by Mr. Dunn as was evidenced by the college reports of the standing of our graduates. The students who entered college in 1946 had made a fine record. In 1946-47, of about sixty-six grades sent to the school office by the various colleges, forty-two 15 �have been in the honor classification. In Bill Dunn’s 23 years at Kents Hill, both the faculty and student body increased threefold. During his last five years in charge, the school acquired two new dormitories; Wesleyan Hall and Davis Hall, two athletic field houses, two new faculty residences and three new playing fields. Any Headmaster can build a school’s physical plant but Bill Dunn did much more than that. He taught kids to love sports for sports sake. He taught them to love learning for learnings sake. Old grads who hadn’t seen him for years would drop in at Kents Hill and delight in the discovery that Bill not only remembered their names but their school-boy foibles as well. And Bill did remember. Which is to say, he not only knew his boys and girls; he understood them, as well, and he did his best to steer them straight. No one knows how many lives were touched by the teaching of Bill Dunn or how far down through the years the influence of his teaching will be felt. America is fortunate in having had a dedi­ cated teacher like him. In 1966, a bronze plaque honoring Mr. Dunn was placed in the entrance of Bearce Hall. The inscription reads: Robert A. Chumbook Headmaster 1965-1970 With a predecessor as renowned as Bill Dunn, Mr. Chumbook naturally found a school that was more willing to follow the old way of doing things rather than look toward new horizons. Mr. Chum­ book had definite ideas of Kents Hill’s place and he constantly desired the school to lift its head a little higher and blossom into a very prestigious preparatory school. These were the prosperous years of the late six­ ties and Kents Hill had little difficulty keeping the boarding department full. The sputnik era was launched and there grew a national concern among youngsters that it was essential they attend college. With dormitories overflowing and classroom space limited, Kents Hill, like many other institu­ tions, greatly increased their building program. Three faculty homes were purchased, the Maxim House, Nason House and Nett House (later sold) and many thousands of dollars expended to re­ condition their ancient interiors. Additions were made to Davis and Wesleyan Dormitories in 1969 to help ease the housing shortage. In 1967 the Dunn Science Building was built at a cost of $220,000. This beautifully equipped building provided greatly needed facilities and was a wonderful addition to the campus. Prior to that time the science department was located in Bearce Hall. The new vacancy in Bearce was soon filled by the Mallett Learning Center which houses the school library. It is beautifully arranged and is a tribute to its donor, Ida Hodgkins Mallett, ’ 04. In 1970, there existed a great need for a student center that would serve as a dining hall thereby replacing the dungeon-like facilities in the base­ ment of Sampson Hall. The result was the con­ struction of a $450,000 facility that still is the envy of other private schools in Maine. Its spacious lounges and TV room as well as its diningroom provide a touch of the new among some of the grand old buildings on campus. It was dedicated to Ralph C. Masterman, ’15, who has devoted most of his life toward serving Kents Hill as trustee and friend.

They played a large part in student life. Older alumni have frequently been heard to say that the benefits they received in their society halls followed them through life and were of more practical use than any of the formal courses taken. There were four of the societies of which we write. The oldest was the Calliopean, founded in 1829 by the early principal, Merrit Caldwell, who was its first president. Its centenary in 1929 was a great occasion and brought back to the campus hundreds of its former members. One of its first efforts was to found a library and furnish a read­ ing room. These remained in the hands of the society until in the early 1880’s when the school took them over. The questions debated by those early boys con­ cerned the live issues of the day. When the fortyniner’s were treking their way to California, the Calliopeans discussed whether the discovery of gold would prove of benefit to the country. In 1859 they debated whether dissolution of the Union would be preferable to the extension of slavery. The Adelphian Society (for girls) was organized during the winter term of 1863-64 and had a life of three-quarters of a century. The Calliopean was so large that it seemed to some of its members that a second society would be an advantage to all concerned, so the Literati was organized in 1876. Possibly the founders of the new society might give other reasons but space limits the story. The first president was our former principal and trustee, Rev. Dr. Wilbur F. Berry, ’76, of Vassalboro. The fourth organization, the Eromathean, was started in 1892 by girls from the Adelphian Soci­ ety who, like the founders of the Literati, felt it would be an advantage to have a second girls’ group. 18 J �In addition to these four societies which survived the years there were the Cliomean founded in 1834, and the Alpha Alpha organized in 1907 by the college girls. When the college department was discontinued in 1909, the Alpha Alpha Society ceased to exist. So far as I can determine, no records of the Cliomean have been preserved, but a copy of the constitution remains. About twice a term, joint public meetings were held, (the Adelphians uniting with the Calliopeans and the Sister Eromatheans joining with the Literati). Every effort was made to excel. As in­ dicated, the public was invited and the chapel was always crowded. The years following the first World War brought many changes to us all. About that time, the auto­ mobile came into common use when students from far and near found it easy to spend weekends at home, and so they began to lose interest in their societies. When they spent the weekends on Literati Society — 1901 19 Literati Society — 1910. Located on the fourth floor of Bearce Hall. the campus, the societies furnished an outlet for their interests. Today the old literary societies are only a fond memory of the past. �n ■ I I Hr p 1. Caliopean Society — 1901.

In content and makeup it was excellent, often containing apt illustrations by the students, Joseph Cummings Chase and others. The initial number of the “Breeze” appeared Nov. 11, 1882. It had only eight pages, approx­ imately nine by twelve inches, with two wide columns to the page. It was printed in clear, clean type, and on excellent stock. The paper was issued twice each term, or six times a year. Again and again it had to be enlarged. Even­ tually each issue required from fifty to seventyfive pages. The “Kents Hill Breeze” should have survived indefinitely. For forty years it flourished, after that it began losing its former “punch,” though it still was issued some seven years more, rather irregularly. Finally it folded its literary wings and publication ceased; its last issue appeared in the spring of 1930. The passing of so excellent a publication is greatly to be regretted. For about a half century it had nobly filled its niche in Kents Hill school life and had given its editors and young contrib­ utors a training they would never have obtained in any other way. The chroniclers feel greatly indebted to the Kents Hill Breeze, so appropriately named by Dr. A. Fitzroy Chase. Its issues which have been preserved have furnished a wealth of information through its biographical sketches and alumni notes. DECEMBER, 1922 1 f - ft The Alumnus -------- Our present Alumnus, Number 1, Volume 1, was issued January 1, 1918. The idea and general plan of the paper had been thought out by Prin­ cipal Newton who became its first editor; its pur­ pose was to keep alumni in touch with the school and with each other through articles and personal items of interest. It made the same appeal as Walter Weld’s publication a few years before and it was quite natural to appropriate the name of that earlier paper; thus it became The Alumnus. Benjamin Harriman's family (he was the Stage Driver from Kents Hill to Readfield Depot) 21 �Kents Hill Sports Kents Hill made her own stars. He feels that the present practice of participation in sports by all students is a long step in the right direction. When Mr. Newton came to teach in the fall of ’93, he was approached by some of the boys to help in forming a team. Mr. Newton coached, — if his efforts can be called coaching, — and acted as referee for the home games. No other form of recreation compared with athletics, tho’ no special inducements were offered to bring in star athletes. To such a policy the administration was definitely opposed, since it places over-emphasis on the winning of scores and on champion teams as a means of gaining public acclaim. Principal Newton favored teams made up only of regular students, and with such material r*£orflo» 22 fl �' -.r o o o a C- . _a Football Team of 1913. Football Team of 1923.

Baseball From one of the old Alumnus’ we find that often times the climax of a Kents Hill game came when some of the boys pounded the pill over the 1882 barn for home runs. We will remember this feat turned in by Alton Swett, “Dave” Masterman, and others. Basketball Basketball was also a very popular sport. Pic­ tured are the teams of 1911 and 1912, one ready for a game and the other for what could be a Sunday sermon. (Note the rolled-up cuffs.) Hockey Under the wonderful guidance of Bill Dunn, Kents Hill’s hockey teams earned the respect of the opposition. 24 �I -•Vz I a . ■ The Basketball Team of 1912. - -- * The first Hockey Team of 1945-46.

In 1928 a statue was dedicated in his memory in Bangor, Maine. The lettering on the marble base of the bronze statue is simple: on one side it reads ‘Hannibal Hamlin Statesman-Diplomat Citizen of Bangor’ On the other side are the words: ‘August 27, 1809-July 3, 1891 Speaker of the Maine House Member of Congress United States Senator Governor of Maine Vice-President with Lincoln Minister to Spain’ Hudson Maxim, inventor of smokeless gunpowder. Appropriately painted by Joseph Cummings Chase, another notable Kents Hill graduate. Our Artist, Joseph Cummings Chase Among our students who have achieved dis­ tinction we read with pride the name of Joseph Cummings Chase. Quoting from an old Lewiston Journal: ‘‘Portrait illustrator; painter; writer; teacher. Born at Kents Hill, May 5, 1878. Pupil of Jean Paul Laurens. Member of Artist Guild of Authors League of America. Awards, first and second prizes, Grunwald Poster Competition, Paris, 1904. Examples of work: Portraits of Gener­ al Pershing, Marshal Foch and one hundred and forty generals and other officers of the American Legionary forces in France; forty portraits Nation­ al Gallery, Washington, D. C. Author ‘Decorative Design,’ ‘Soldiers All.’ His father, Dr. A. F. Chase, was widely known as a teacher at Bucksport and Kents Hill. Mr. Chase early showed an aptitude for drawing. He began his art studies at Pratt Institute and from the beginning was successful in disposing of his work. His first order for illustrations was for a new edition of ‘ ’Twas the Night Before Christmas.’ While in Paris he studied portraiture principally, but worked for both New York and Paris publish­ ers and his work appeared regularly in the Brook­ lyn Eagle. Mr. Chase’s first published work appeared in the Lewiston Journal sketches of characters seen at the county fairs. He continued his work in illustrating, together with his portraiture, contributing to well-known magazines and to books for Brentanos, Mac­ Millan, American Book Co., etc.” Hudson Maxim Famous Inventor of Smokeless Gun Powder Maine Grit We have seen many a story of the fame of Hud­ son Maxim, one of that distinguished family known internationally because of their inventions in the military world. 27 �His story is chock full of Maine pioneer exper­ ience. centering around the old Maxim home in Wayne and around Kents Hill Seminary where he went to school under the old time principal, Mr. Torsey. Grit! Here it was in unadulterated form. For he never went to school until he was nine years old, tho by no fault of his own; he grew strong on corn-bread, mush and molasses — the last stinted in quantity — and on work; he probably took his cue for his life work from his father, who had inspired in him at an early age a great admiration for Napoleon; and he raked and trampled hay, barefoot with thistles punishing him at every step, in order to earn five cents a day that he might obtain money enough to buy a 30 - cent geography in a neighboring village store. The reason he wanted that geography was because he wanted to find out something about Napoleon’s France. Sample of the Maine grit of this lad was his experience in attending Kents Hill. He earned his tuition and books by working at odd jobs on railroads, in brickyards and stone-quarries; and he lived on a supply of baked beans and brown bread which he cooked for himself on his week­ end trips back to Wayne. It was a seven-mile hike and there were no flivvers to carry him back and forth in a half hour’s run; not even a spare Dobbin to turn the trick for him. Blizzards had to be negotiated on foot, one of the most memorable having required 15 hours for the seven-mile trip from Wayne to Kents Hill. Hudson Maxim finished his studies at that institution at 25 years; but not his education, which has been a life-long task. It was grit that kept him hammering away at the problem of an education, at which he had such a late start. It was grit that overcame such stalwart obstacles. Then the habit established, he kept right on over­ coming them in business all the rest of his life. So much for Maine grit, in the old days. It is still to be found here, operating to the same pur­ pose, the upbuilding of strong character. The only difference, nowadays, is that life has become easier, all around, and the obstacles to the am­ bitious boy and girl are not what they once were. 28 Frances A. Davis The Grand Old Lady of Kents Hill Miss Davis was born in Indiana, September 8, 1848. She entered our school in 1866 and grad­ uated from the college course in 1868. She taught at Oak Grove Seminary and at Talladega College, a Freedman’s School in Alabama, five years after the Civil War. Later she taught in Indiana, Illinois, and in the public schools of Maine. In the fall of 1882, Dr. Edgar M. Smith persuaded her to come to Kents Hill as teacher of modern languages, and here she labored until the time of her death, with the exception of a year of travel and study in Europe — forty years of teaching plus three years of retirement. To most of her students Miss Davis was “Aunt Fanny”, behind her back, but always in terms of endearment. To those faculty members who were most intimately associated with her, her dignity always called for “Miss Davis”. Miss Davis, for twenty years preceptress, was one of the teachers in the forty-year class. One of the things which served to knit Kents Hill students together in the proverbial school spirit is the fact that several teachers remained on the Hill for a long time. Dr. Torsey, the Morses in the Music Department, Prof. Joseph L. Morse, Dr. Chase, Miss Robinson, Prof. Trefethen, Prof. Oliver and others; great teachers because they were men and women of great character, with a deep interest in the individual student. Alumni returning like to find someone they know; Miss Davis received them with open arms. The returning student may have had some black marks, but she never remembered them. In her great loving heart she had room for all Kents Hill boys and girls. She had no children of her own, but all alumni were her children. It was her wish to be laid to rest in the little local cemetery. Her grave is marked by a modest stone, erected by the alumni, and on the plaque is inscribed, “Christian, Teacher, Friend”. Her picture can be found in some of the early faculty group pictures. �L. L. Bean 93 The Happy Hunter Reuben B. Dunn Trustee 1830-1889 “Bean’s success tale begins on the day he came home from a hunting trip with feet so sore he could hardly walk. Woodsmen’s shoes were never meant for men who spent 50 weeks a year on floors and pavements. They were heavy and stiff; dried into torturing shapes when wet, frozen hard as iron when cold — and murdered unaccus­ tomed feet. Bean sought a solution, and from his solution sprang a very large factory in Freeport, Maine that is well known for its quality merchandise. His Maine Hunting Shoe is worn by hundreds of thousands as well as many armed forces personnel. Part of Bean’s success has been due to his recep­ tiveness to ideas from others — customers, em­ ployees, his own family. Perhaps he learned that valuable lesson while at Kents Hill. Mr. Dunn has the distinction of serving on the Board of Trustees the longest of them all. 59 years. His interest never flagged and his counsel was valued highly by his associates on the Board. He established the largest manufactory of scythes in the world, with plants at North Wayne. Fayette, and Oakland where the Dunn Edge Tool Company was located. His lumber interests were extensive. At one time he owned the control­ ling interest in the Maine Central Railroad. Later he formed the Lockwood Manufacturing Company, which built one of New England s largest cotton mills, in Waterville. He was one of the outstanding businessmen of the state. Benefactors It is impossible to list all the men and women who have made their contribution to Kents Hill: gifts of time, thought, and material contributions, in periods of success and in times ot stress. It will suffice to say that without their loyal support and generosity, Kents Hill’s students would not have enjoyed the reputation of having graduated from one of the best preparatory schools in the East. 29 �Presidents and Preceptresses Presidents of the Board of Trustees John Hubbbard Abraham Morrill Eleazer Wills Moses Springer Stephen Lovell Moses Springer John Reed Gershom Cox Philip Munger John Baxter George Webber Henry P.

Where there exists a group of active youngsters, there are bound to be stories told of their boyhood days and mischievous pranks. These stories rep- Dr. Torsey and the One-Horse Shay Have you ever heard of the one-horse shay Owned on Kents Hill for many a day? I mean the old shay the boys took for fun And hauled down the hill one night on the run. Sure enough, about ten, the boys came along. Five lusty good fellows, healthy and strong; And harnessed themselves to this wonderful shay, And toward Torsey Pond they hurried away. It seems that the boys had planned for a ride. And some of them having a big bump of pride. Went up to the owner who lived o'er the way And asked if he'd loan them his beautiful shay. The doctor grew nervous, he knew not his fate. As the boys dashed along at a furious gait. And talked of the pond where the water was deep As being the place, this carriage to keep. The old man replied in a thundering tone: "No boys. I don't keep that-ere carriage to loan, I bought it for cash and paid for it, too. And it never'll be used by either ofyou." They soon reach the shore, and back down the shay The wheels touch the water — hold! the d------ I s to pay! The doctor sang out in a voice loud and shrill, "Boys, you can now haul me back to the top of the hill." Now boys will be boys where'er they may be. Before I get through, this fact you will see; For when it was dark and everything quiet. They said to themselves, "We guess we will try it." Each came to the scratch and pulled with a will. Not stopping for breath as they tugged up the hill; The doctor enjoying his fine little trip As he urged them along by the use of the whip. The doctor got wind of what had been said. And thought to himself, "I'll not go to bed. But get in that shay — it's a good place to hide — And maybe the boys will give me a ride." The carriage now home and safe in the shed, Each boy makes quick time to his own little bed. Resolving that never by night or by day Will he harness himself to this wonderful shay. R. VK Soule On this occasion the two men met on the meadow. Although the Doctor had never met the owner, the old chap knew very well who the fisher­ man was. “Are there any fish in this brook?” asked the the Doctor. “No,” snarled the other, “not a fish. There would be plenty of ’em as there used to be, if that old skunk of a Dr. Torsey would stay where he belongs. He’s caught ’em all out. If I ever ketch’im here in my medder, trampin’ down my Another Joke on the Doctor Another joke in which the Doctor was on the re­ ceiving end is well authenticated: the Doctor was an inveterate fisherman and one day went to fish in a stream well known by him, in the neighboring town of Chesterville. The old farmer who owned the meadow through which the brook flowed was at that time troubled by a condition sometimes termed, “bats in the belfry.” 31 �flirt THE SEMINARY BUILDINGS, KENTS HIL.L, MAINE grass I’ll------ ” Then he poured out the direst threats as to what he would do to that “old skunk” in case he did catch him. He went on to give the trespasser a tongue-lashing, affecting ignorance of the fisherman’s identity. Ignorant of his accuser’s name, as well as of his mental condition, the Doctor decided that dis­ cretion was the better part of valor, and beat a retreat as dignified as circumstances would per­ mit; while the old man laughed with unholy glee over the way he had worsted that “old skunk of a Doctor.” the discovery is hardly printable, for he hadn’t recognized his guest of the night and was hardly expecting the principal. The boy was an honest soul and allowed he had had a fine time, “up to the present.” Mr. McKenney's Old White Horse Our steward, the popular Mr. McKenney, had an old white horse whose barrel showed pretty clearly the number of ribs. The steward’s ire was roused one morning when he found that the boys had painted in big red letters on the horse’s sides, “Oats wanted within/’ We recall the sympathy of some of the boys who were watching Mr. McKenney as he applied erasers to the notice, and how concerned some of them were that anyone should cut such a mean trick. The chief sym­ pathizer was a lad with evidence of red paint on his coat sleeve. He could scarcely restrain his tears. An Unbidden Guest One night one of the boys was found missing at retiring time. Feeling sure that he would eventually return to his nest, the principal crawled into the truant’s bed and waited results. The boy returned at an unseasonable hour and was much surprised to find that his bed was occupied. What he said on 32 I �Kents Hill In More Recent Times Space does not permit so thorough an account of history as found in the previous sections.

Jacobs Headmaster 1970 Mr. Jacobs attended public schools in Gardiner, Maine and received his A.B. degree from Colby College followed by a master’s degree from Colum­ bia University. Since 1950 Mr. Jacobs was at St. Johnsbury Academy in Vermont where he served as Headmaster for five years prior to coming to Kents Hill. The popularity of preparatory schools was changing rapidly toward the end of the previous administration. Suddenly the dormitories were only half full and the school was fiscally extended beyond its means in the anticipation of continued prosperity. These were the conditions when Mr. Jacobs assumed the role of headmaster. A man of action, he quickly consolidated debt and began the uphill climb to encourage students to attend Kents Hill. A warm and understanding person, many say that Mr. Jacobs has many of those qualities that made Bill Dunn such a great person. The effect of his leadership is very apparent over the last few years for the quality of life and education at Kents Hill has never been better. A dramatic turnaround in admissions has taken place and once again full dormitories are predicted in the next year or two. Financial limitations kindled a greater appeal to alumni for support of the institution. As a result, the Annual Giving Fund was established in 1971 and its success is a tribute to the generosity of all Kents Hill alumni. Backed by the able leadership of Mr. Jacobs and the board of trustees, Kents Hill has reasserted herself and turns toward the future intent on success. Kents Hill, since 1824. It's an incomplete sentence, but it means quite a bit. It means 150 years of existence and an abun­ dance of tradition. It's old, it's established, and it's worthwhile. It has a feeling to it quite unlike that of any other school. To be unique in itself does not command any deep respect, but to show strength through such unique­ ness, as this school has done, merits much admira­ tion. And this seems to be very much a traditional part of Kents Hill — displaying strength through excellence. It’s not the excellence in location, ski hill, telescope, school government, sports, or curriculum that makes tradition — these merely add to it. It is the spirit in which things are executed that is true tradition. Tradition is a spirit, a feeling; a feeling tndy basic to Kents Hill. 36 �■ LIMITED EDITION Sesquicentennial Plate A strikingly beautiful yet very practical solid pewter plate is being offered on a limited basis to mark Kents Hill’s Sesquicentennial year. Created by Towle Silversmith’s, this seven and one half inch pewter plate has been selected from their distinctive Newburyport collection. It is per­ manently etched with the school seal as illustrated and serves to show the school’s one hundred and fifty years of dedicated service. Surely it will lend beauty to any wall, hutch or table. To obtain this very special plate, the school would appreciate a contribu­ tion of one hundred and fifty dollars to the Sesquicentennial Giving Cam­ paign currently underway. �£M1 MA I rtaii p s A 'J ■ ' '-■y *®®W 0 i?i ■?;.:’* feZ -y A ^'’'SSSs^Z^fcftiSZ AVW. ■ - ,|r . -5^ ' I V'l . 40. ^4 ■ " MJ 3 "li ,?7! >0 'H /•..-I - - i 0. { VIL *>' ■ fefe t . ° V &W a 'Mv?: n0 !Vi ''A ■V .■ A. •> J �18244974 Sesquicentennial II aP.: f> * � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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 cal­ culated to mislead the public mind ; therefore, “ Resolved—First: That after a careful and patient hearing of the facts of the case, the Trustees find no ground for censure against II. P. Torsey, or any other person concerned in the management of the Institution, in the case of the late Miss M.

In their Reply they go on to say that, “ During the session Mr. Torsey informed the Trustees that he desired them to investigate his administration, in the ease of Miss Greene. Accordingly, an even­ ing session was agreed upon for this purpose; aud Mr. Knight, who was still in the neighborhood, was invited to bo present. lie accord­ ingly came in, and remained till the close of the investigation, at a h on the rent’s hill tragedy. 5 late hour of See on page 135, “ Crown Won,” more ■auu uuur or the rue night. night."” See . about this investigation. Mr. Knight now tells me that it was about seven o’clock when the Trustees went into session, aud that an hour, at least, was spent in attending to other business—about the pur­ chase or sale of real estate connected with the Institution, and the taxes on some wood land which they thought they ought not to pay. Between ten and eleven, Mr. K. says, this “ careful and patient hearing of the facts in the case”—the words in their preamble — this investigation closed, which was about an hour before the exer­ cises in the chapel broke up—two and a-half or three liour^ given to this investigation, from which they made the aforesaid record, in which they say the Trustees find no ground for censure against H.

Reed stated to me that Dr. Torsey having ascertained that she had received a letter from Mr. Greene, came to her boarding place aud desired to see it; and then with her consent carried it away. And I positively deny that I was in any way employed to prevent Miss Reed from testifying in the ease of Miss Greene, in the hearing before the Trustees; aud I also stated that no blame could be attached to the teachers, according to the testimony then and there given. Peru, March 21, 186S. A. M. Knight. VI - i They suppress, in the Reply, the last eight words of Mr. Knight as above, which greatly misrepresents him aud deceives the public. Sec at the bottom of page 131. “Crown Won,” what was pub­ lished in the papers in regard to this pretended thorough investiga­ tion, in June, 1866, in several journals of this State. The reader -V II can now see where these published accounts came from, aud the way Dr. T. and the Faculty were cleared- from all blame. The careful aud patient investigation, of oue whole short evening in June — a wonderful length of time to hear the evidence, discuss this sad case, aud make out the preamble and the resolves 1 — to make up their deliberate, sound judgment, and put on record, there to remain for all time, this wonderful decision and wicked statement, that no complaint had been made to the Trustees by the parties professing to have been aggrieved 1 (See preamble before the resolves.) Why ■I A •J �I A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. this bitter complaint of Torscy, and my letter to Robinson, two of the Trustees, if no complaint had been made by us to them ? M ith the publication of that pretended investigation of that committee of students, May 6,1867 (see “ Crown Won,” pages 127-8-9, for full explanations, — with this record, published to the world, exoner­ ating the faculty from all blame, and the difficulty I encountered to get my statements before the public, as explained on page 144, “ Crown Won ”— with all their efforts to blame Louise, and to clear all those who dealt with her from blame — I would ask any parent, What less would you have doue under like circumstances than to publish such a book ? Please answer this question satisfactorily to yourselves before you condemn ine. When all this had gone before the public — the result of those ex-partc investigations — and I had replied through my book, then they show for the first time some signs of fairness, when on the 14th of November, 1867, the trustees at a meeting held at Lewiston authorize William Deering, of Port­ land, one of the trustees, to write me to join them in a reference, who wrote me, Nov. 15, 1867, and appended the following resolve, case, your child, how much less would you have been likely to have said than I have, in a case so sad, if it was clear to your mind that it was prejudice that destroyed your child. Your proposition is respectfully declined. Yours, respectfully, fl 7 Jonas Greene.” The public may judge how I must feel about this show of fairness at this late day, after all I have showed had been done to try to clear this Faculty, and to disgrace the memory of Louise. See what has been attempted and done, as shown on pages 88-94, “ Crown Won.” It did seem to me to be too late, and they had gone too far in spread­ ing their misrepresentations over the State against the deceased. I and the good people of the State may judge what is meant in that resolve by “ honorable legal gentlemen, to whom the whole matter may be referred.” The public will, with all the twisting, turn­ ing and maneuvering of this Faculty, and some of the Trustees, in pursuing me at Lewiston, while there for the remains of my child —see pages 130—31, “Crown Won”—and their persistent efforts to circumscribe my influence, to annoy and perplex me. What satis­ faction I should have received from such a reference I am unable to judge. Have all the claims of justice aud humanity, the moral and religious obligations, fled from the managers of this Institution ? Are there no responsibilities resting upon them but legal ones in this sad case 1 Now comes in the Reply, the affidavit of Torsey; aud if I had nothing but the conversation we had with him, aud others of the Faculty, and those who surround him, to rely upon in my defence, against him whom I believe to be unscrupulous, I should despair of getting him to admit one single thing which he said or did with Louise, or said to us, which makes against him. But, thanks to an over-ruling Providence, who in a measure holds the destinies of us all in his hands, I have enough of his aud her written statements, which I think will satisfy the public that all of his sworn statements in the Reply cannot be true. The reader can see in the “ Crown Won,” pp. 22-27, the whole explanation of his denial to let her go home with Mary Chapman, in August, 1864. See all of the correspondence between her and myself, between myself and Torsey; and when I wrote him she would leave his school unless some recon­ ciliation could be had, he was in a place where, if he had any good . reason for refusing her, and he had anything against her for viola- passed at the said trustees’ meeting: “Resolved—~That William Deering, of Portland, be authorized to present to Mr. Greene the following proposition, viz; that Hons. W. Davis, E. Shepley, W. G. Barrows, or such other disinterested persons as may be agreed upon, be requested to nominate a reference, con­ sisting of disinterested and honorable 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.” To this I replied. November 20, 1867, as follows: “ Mr. Deering,—Dear Sir,—Yours of the 15th inst. came to hand last evening, and in reply permit me to say that as you (the trustees) have put on record in the book containing the records of the Institution, what purports to be a thorough investigation of the circumstances and death of my daughter, the substance of the same having been published to the world, from which decision I have appealed to the public and to the Ruler of the Universe for the just........................... ice of my course, by the decision of an intelligent public and the Judge of All I am ’willing _ to stand or fall. And, sir, were this your 1 ft �8 A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. tions of rules or any bad conduct, he would have made use of it and given it to me in excuse for his rude conduct to her. In that long letter of Louise in August, 1864, giving a particular account of this affair, she says, “ Preserve this letter, and if you doubt any part of it I am willing to read it myself before you to Dr. Torsey. It is only to-night that I saw him, and I’ve taken particular pains to write down what was said, as near as possible, word for word.” And now when I give quotations from Dr. Torsey’s sworn statement in the Reply, which contradict Louise’s statements in this letter, which I shall give word for word in quotations to disprove his statement, the public may judge, under all the circumstances, whether his recollection, after the lapse of four and a-half years, is more reliable as to what was said and done, when it is for his selfish interest to tell it as he chooses, than her’s, which was written in the very hour in which it transpired, to her parents, with the assurance that she would read it to them in the presence of Torsey. From Torsey’s affidavit—“At the 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.” From Louise’s letter—“ So when she came I went to Dr. Torsey for leave to go home with her, carrying the general permission you had given me, and on the strength of which he had heretofore granted my request.” He (Torsey) says—“A short time afterwards she met me again on the street, and again importuned me.” She (Louise) gives a minute and particular history of her asking him, when, where, and all about it, and says, all this occupied about three miuutes; we were talking on the sidewalk.” Here is the'length and only time she importuned him (as shown by this letter written at the time), except the second time, at his house. She says she made the request to him once on the sidewalk, and stopped about three minutes, and then went to Miss Robinson, and in about a half-hour again went to his house. Torsey says in his affidavit—“ This refusal of favors referred exclusively to her going to Mr. Chapman’s, and was not on account of any difficulty between Mr. C. and myself, for we were on the most friendly terms, but because she had been there three times without permission.” August 29,1864, Dr. T. wrote me and said, “ Once I gave per­ mission to Louise to go to the Corner to visit, and once she went without permission. Last Friday she asked to go again and spend the night. I told her we should give fewer leaves of absence this term; and after I had retired for the night she came again. I answered her in the same manner and in the same words as before.” Now I submit those two statements to the public—one written to me at the time, when he would have availed himself of any excuse or reason possible against Louise. He then put her offence, only once of going to the Corner without leave. (See on page 26, “ Crown Won,” how this is explained.) Now he swears it was three times. He then says nothing about his neuralgic pain in his eyes and head; now he would seem to make that as an excuse. If all was so smooth and pleasant with Mr. Chapman, then why did Mary leave his school ? Mr. Chapman has once given me a different version of this affair. She says in this long letter, “ I was advised to go home with Mary C., but thought it not best.” For the truth of this statement I will say that on the 7th of November, 1866, Mary Chapman told me and my wife that she advised her to go, and said she ought to have gone. I am willing to put Louise’s record, made the very day of the conversation in Miss Robinson’s room, April 11, 1865 (see pp. 28-9 of “Crown Won”), against Torsey’s statement, made from recollec­ tion, in 1868, in the Reply. Read both, and judge which is true. Again Torsey says—“ The Monday evening before Louise left. Miss Case called on me and informed me that Miss Greene had been taking articles of clothing not belonging to her, and that Mrs. Dag­ gett and herself were investigating the matter. I requested her to do it quietly, and to say nothing to any one about the matter. I had also learned Miss Greene had taken money.” Mark well, that Torsey has here sworn that on Monday evening, which was the 21st of May, before any investigation was had, and before Miss Case and Mrs. Daggett had been into Louisa’s room at all, to see what they could fiud,,and before any one had accused Louise of taking the money, —for it is known to everybody there and elsewhere who knows any­ thing about her confession, which was on Tuesday, the 22d, that she made that confession, not to Dr. Torsey, but to Mr. Daggett and his wife and Miss Case, and Torsey could not have known anything about her taking the money,—yet he on oath has certified that he had also learned that Miss Greene had taken money. i j 9 �■■ J i I! 10 A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY on the rent’s hill tragedy. His admission here that he knew all about her being accused, and that the investigation was to go on, and he taking no measures to notify her parents, makes his case look worse and worse. And can I believe him when he says, “ Had she not determined to leave, the ease would have been presented to the Faculty for final settlement. In the investigation and settlement her parents would have been allowed to take a part” ? He says, On Wednesday morning, at the request of the Faculty, I called to converse with her.’’ Who believes that they had any intention of notifying; me of her trouble? that they It does not appear, by the course they were pursuing, ]_ intended any such thing. In the Reply, Torsey says, referring to his conversation with Louise‘the morning she left, “After she determined to go home, she said she would go to her sister’s room and make arrangements with her.” Again he says, in another paragraph, “Nor did I say, if she went to Lewiston she must make arrangements with Chestina.” See. how he contradicts the last two assertions, in a letter written to me May 27, 1866, four days after Louise left, when all was fresh in his mind: “ She named going by the way of Lewiston, or writing you to meet her there, but did not insist upon it any further than merely mentioning it; finally agreeing, as I understood her, to make no arrangements herself, but allow Chestina to make them.” As I have said in the “ Crown Won,” does this not look as if he knew she was not capable of taking care of herself?” Again he says, “She thought she had better leave that day.” Hoar her, in that letter to her sister, written the day she left, contradict this last statement of his: “ Dr. Torsey informed me this morning that I had better leave to-day.” See this letter in full, p. 39, “ Crown Won.” She does not say she thought she had better leave, but soon adds, “ How I feel, God only knows.” See on page 117 of “ Crown Won,” about his kind treatment of students. In view of the foregoing statements and contradictions of Torsey, and all of his twisting and turning, as shown in my pamphlet of ’ 162 pages, I am not at all surprised that he should deny the truth of my book, and declare it grossly false under oath—that is but a small offence compared to what I believe him guilty of. He has a right to his opinions, and I to mine, but the public will judge im­ partially. One other point. If Mr. and Mrs. Daggett and Miss Case said nothing to Louise about the school knowing it, and as they say the 11 class knew nothing about it until the morning she left, and the stu­ dents none of them knew it, how did she know the school knew it, and it was common talk and public property on the Hill, before she left? If Dr. Torsey did not tell her, for no one else talked with her, as she writes in her class letter, who did inform her? If I could have had an opportunity to retrieve the past at the Hill, who did prevent her from having a chance to retrieve the past at the Hill? Who had a long talk with her just before she left, and just before she wrote that letter? Will the public believe Torsey did not tell her the school knew it, and that she had better leave that day ? See pp. 37-8, “ Crown Won,” for further explanations. Torsey, in the Reply, testifies—“ I then determined to send some one to Lewiston to look after her. I spoke to B. Harriman to go with his team; but after consulting with others I concluded to ascertain first by the return train whether she had stopped at Lew­ iston.” Miss M. I. Reed says, p. 54, “ Crown Won,” that Mr. Harriman agreed to go to Lewiston after Louise with Chestina, and she told him she would get Chestina ready in fifteen minutes. Miss Reed, in her recantation affidavit does not deny this, nor does Mr. Harriman. With those statements of Torsey’s, as above, aud the positive agree­ ment of Mr. Harriman to go to Lewiston after her, who will doubt the truth of my logic on pages 90, 138-9, “ Crown Won” ? I will leave the public to judge of the truth of Torsey’s state­ ments—he being the implicated party, aud testifying in his own defence—and his denial “ That I told her that the school kuew it ” ; and R. Smith’s denial that he told me that Torsey told him so is shown to be false by the following affidavit: “ In the month of August or September, 1866, I heard Roscoe Smith tell Jonas Greene, of Peru, that Dr. Torsey told him (Smith) that in answer to Louise’s request to have this affair kept from the school, and she be permitted to stay and graduate, ho told her that it would be impossible, for the school knew it. “ Wm.

Robinson, and notwithstanding their accu­ sations against Miss Greene and myself, and their denials of the facts as stated in the “ Crown Won,” in regard to that conversation in the Faculty meeting, I affirm it to be true, as stated by us. Why it escaped their notice that Torsey stamped his right foot upon the floor so hard as to jar the room, is more than I can tell—unless they were so accustomed to his outbursts of passion and show of authority as not to notice it. Torsey does not deny it; Miss Case says, “ he did not, to my knowledge.” II "Hnrly deuv. pronounce---as false, O.euy, and auu pronounce utterlyjr deny, and this crimination ?

I went down to the college to practice. There Mira told me that Miss Case, and Mrs. Daggett had gone up to my room and wished to see me alone. I immediately started back to my room and overtook them. They said they were going up to my room to see me. We walked along till we got to the house. They opened the front gate and went into the front door. I went into the side gate and hur­ ried into my room, picked up some things laying about the room, and changed mg dress before they eame in. I was just fastening my dress, with trembling fingers, when I heard them coming. I remem­ ber this distinctly, and what dress I put on—it was that slate-colored one, -like Estella’s gymnastic dress.” Yet Mrs. Daggett has on oath denied this fact. Chestiua further writes me that she had heard Louise speak against Torsey several times. “ Louise did advise me to enter the Seminary Course, as I should be put forward more, and be required to read before the school; and in many ways it would be better for me. ‘ And you will not be obliged to stay; you can leave any time.’ ” Then was it true, what Mrs. Daggett declares on oath? Mrs. Daggett is quite ready in her sworn statement to charge me with making “ additions, omissions, changes and exaggerations, in my book, which are untrue.” as to herself and Mr. Daggett. She further says, “ I never saw in the wash sueh garments as Mrs. Greene describes in her statement.” I wish to ask her if she does the washing, or has personal knowledge of every article those sixty girls put into the wash ? And is she trying to dispute Mrs. Greene in regard to the articles Louise had at that term ? It may be as well for Mrs. Daggett to explain to me, and perhaps the public would like to know, how she camp in possession of Louise’s Adclphiun pin, plainly marked with Louise’s name, which she kept, with several other articles of Louise’s, for more than four months—after we had written them that various articles of Louise’s were missing. See “ Crown Won,” pp. 112-13, when and how they were obtained. I here re-assert, and will say I do positively know, that the only article named by Mrs. Daggett, in her statement of May 30, 18G6, as found in Louise’s possession, which was marked, was an old linen handkerchief with holes iu it. Sarah E. Dow says—“I think it incredible that she could have lost so many clothes iu eleven weeks as she is represented to have lost during her last term.” I do not know how Miss Dow should I i ing closed ? Miss Case admits much in her affidavit which others have denied, which goes to show what Louise said—“ I think she said she took the clothing from necessity, as all her’s had been lost, and intended to restore them at the close of the term.” She further says, “ Upon being questioned she confessed she took the five dollars.” And I here again say Mr. Daggett did tell me she (Louise) confessed she took the five dollars, not denying a word. Mrs. Daggett states under oath that, “ We did not go into Dr. Torsey's part of the house; nor did he have anything to do, directly or indirectly, with the investigation in regard to the clothing or money.” Now hear what Mr. Torsey says on oath—“ The Mondayevening before Louise left Miss Case called on me and informed me that Miss Greene had been taking articles of clothing not belonging, to her; and that Mrs. Daggett and herself were investigating the matter. I requested her to do it quietly, and to say nothing to any­ one about the matter. I had also learned that Miss Greene had taken some money.” Chestina writes from Virginia, March 31, 1868, and says—“ Miss Case and Mrs. Daggett did go into Dr. Tor- & & i Ar-/.'.. I �REJOINDER TO THE REPLY ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. know anything about Louise’s under-clothes, except such as she bor­ she did write me. And further, she has given, in her affidavit, for what she wrote me what another student did write me in June, 1867, and from which I did make the extract on page 138, “ Crown Won”—from which Miss Bowers, in her zeal to implicate me and clear them, has mistaken this for her own language. I have both letters before me, and know what I write. rowed of her to wear. In answer to Eliza C. Bowers’s very singular affidavit, I feel com­ pelled to make a thorough rejoinder, and will ask the careful perusal by the public of all the facts here produced. Miss Bowers says “ I further say that Dr. Torsey was impartial and kind in his treat­ ment 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 dis­ tinction among the students under his care, or to show any partiality on account of any religious or sectarian views of any student. I have never intended, in anything I have written or said, to cast any blame upon the Faculty, in their treatment of my lamented ciassnlate, M. Louise Greene; but sincerely believe they desired and intended 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 Sirs. Greene, and S. R. Newell (not, however, giving my name), in answer to letters addressed to mo, proposing numerous questions about the affair connected with my unfortunate classmate; also about the Faculty, especially Dr. Torsey, and Miss Case, the Preceptress. These extracts 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 ? ” These charges against me compel me in self-defence to publish six of her letters, four to Mrs. Greene and two to Mr. Newell, in full, as they arc all bearing upon this sad ease; and more than all from which I have made a single quotation in my book ; and the public will see that none of them are marked “ private” or “confidential.” And all can judge with what truthfulness these charges are made against me. Miss Bowers further says—“ The extract on page 138 was in answer to a letter of Mr. Greene, dated June 22, 1867.” Then she quotes from what I wrote her. Then she gives what sho says is the substance of her reply to me; and further says, “ I am confirmed in this by a friend of mine, to whom I read my letter to Mr. Greene.” I will inform Miss Bowers, her friend and the public, that I did not in my book quote a single extract or word from this letter of Miss Bowers. Thus she and her friend are very much mistaken in what 15 MISS BOWERS’S LETTERS. I j I ! Belgrade, Sept. 24, 1866. My dear Mrs. Greene,—I was very glad to receive a letter from you, setting my fears at rest in regard to your feelings toward us. I did not believe you thought hardly of us, but I wanted to know from your own lips. We all truly sympathised and suffered with you. I never felt so badly in my life, except when my mother died, and that was a very different grief. I am just now excited by the rumor that Louise is at her uncle’s, in Petersburg, Va. I cannot believe it, it is such good news. The way the story goes is this: A gentleman travelling South met a Miss Greene, from Maine, at your husband’s brother's, and conversed with her. He described her, and the description agreed with dear Louise’s appearance. Knowing you would know if it is true, by this time, as Ches, was gone there. I write you immediately—hoping, yet scarcely daring to hope, it may prove true. If you have heard from Ches., if you will, please write me immediately, I am so anxious to know. I can think of nothing else than perhaps Louise is alive, well, and with friends. So will you please take for an excuse for my not writing you a letter; but be assured, I feel the deepest sympathy and regard for you. and wish to be numbered among your friends for Louise’s sake. If this rumor should prove true. I shall write her a sisterly letter, as of old. Nothing that has occurred will malm the slightest difference in my feelings. But I dare not think of this ; I dare not hope the rumor is true. Write me soon, and believe me, with love, Truly your friend, Eliza Bowers. Belgrade, Oct. 14, 1866. Mr Dear Mrs. Greene,—I received your letter containing the sad news to-night. I’ve never ceased to hope till to-night that Lou­ ise was still living. I knew not till now how strong those hopes were. How terrible ! that her poor body has lain there all this time. I am so glad sho is found; yet the uncertainty, with hope, was �r\ li A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY almost better. I wish I could be with you, to pay my last tribute of love and respect to dear Louise’s body, even. But 1 fear it is not possible, though I thought at first I must and would be there. I think, if I remember, there is no way to go in one day, by cars or stage; and I am much too far away to come with a team. I can say truly I shall be there in spirit, as will all the class. I’ve written them all this eve., except Miss Forsett; and I judged you had writ­ ten her, or would before this, and I’d just sent a letter to her this morn. I am very glad to say that none of the class, to my know­ ledge, said they would not graduate with Louise. I think I should have known it if they had. Truly, I never said or thought so. The rumor must be classed with a thousand others, false like that one, with no foundation whatever, saving the imagination of some gossip­ ping persons. I have not words to express my sympathy with you, or my own sorrow, which is very deep; but I Scarcely dare speak of it when I think of your deeper grief. We can only pray, knowing Jesus suffered too, and can and does pity our suffering. Louise is at rest now. I can only hope she is better off than she would be if tossed on the billows of this troubled life. If you can, I wish you would write me all about how you found her, and how long you think she had lain there. It seems as if I must see her, even as she must be. 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 until she was gone. So we talked to her until she went away, as if our hearts were not full of bitter anguish. When we knew the truth, we believed her good and true, but only suddenly tempted. No ope of the class but feels so, and would have then received her with open arms if we only could have had the opportunity. If -Louise could only have known how we suffered that she left us so. Addie Webb and I called for her Wednesday morning, to go to breakfast. We went down to the hall together, and that was the last time I saw her. I was longing then to throw my arms about her and tell her of my love, but could not • —how could we then? We were almost crazy ourselves.

I can speak no words of consolation to you; yet I feel, 0! so much, for you—and my own grief is not light. I began a letter for Ches.; but I could not write what I wished, so I threw it aside. I suppose she is in Virginia. Is she not? I regret so much now that I did not go to your place; but I did not know how you would feel about it. It is so dreadful that Louise should die so 1 It is su mysterious ! Did you ever see the poem Louise wrote for the public Adelphian last spring ? It now seems prophetic of her fate. I ask myself every day, Why is it so? I dare not judge the teachers of intentional wrong—though that some great wrong has been done I think none can deny. In regard to what you ask me, if the others you named would have been treated so, I know not what to say. There certainly ought to have been no difference. There seems to mo a fatality about it—about everything connected with that last term. We can never understand with mortal powers; but I trust sometime all things will be clear, and we shall sec all things in their true light. I would like some of Louise’s hair very much. I have a picture of her which I would not part with for money. It is very, strange where so many of Louise’s things are. Louise’s room was open after she went away till you came for her things ; yet it scarcely seems that any of the girls would go there and take anything; though there are things taken as supposed every term by the help, and were last term at the close of the term. I have in my possession two napkins which belong to Louise. I forgot them when you came for her things, and they’ve lain in my trunk ever since. I’ve intended to send them to you, but have neglected, or waited for an opportunity. I see you arc to erect a monument over Louise’s place of death. I shall visit the spot, I hope, but only with such bitter feelings of distress for her fate. Louise teas very much loved by the students, and 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 sympathising heart of any S*11,,1 kne"; We llor wlilcu/u ! or sorrow. I shall never forget the last time I was sick there. She sat up with me. I was so nervous I was almost crazy. She bathed my head and petted me till I was perfectly calm. I should always remember B �18 ■ Before I give her letters to Mr. Newell, perhaps I should explain why her class was written to for such a statement of her character, as they understood it, prior to the accusations against her. It was because Mrs. Daggett had, in November, 1866, admitted to us that she did accuse Louise in that investigation of being an “ habitual thief”; and gave us to understand that the students did not think well of Louise; and very unfavorable reports were continually reaching us, as coming from the Faculty, against Louise’s previous character. i • ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. her with the kindest gratitude for that alone, if for no other cause. Her life was full of sympathy and care for those around her. Write me again, if you consider this worthy your time. I shall ever be happy to hear from you for Louise’s sake, and hope some time to see you. Remember me in love and sympathy to your family. E. 0. Bowers. Affectionately, . b A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY Belgrade, Dec. 17, 1866. Mr. Newell,—Your communication is just received. I shall be most happy to do as you wish, for Miss Greene was a very dear friend, and one highly esteemed by me. I wish time to consult other members of the class. How soon do you wish to publish this ? It will be a week or more before I can hear from the mem­ bers of the class, as we are widely separated. If you will wait this time you ’ll oblige, Very respectfully, Eliza C. Bowres. ■ II V L . Belgrade, Dec. 28, 1866. Mr. Newell,—I scarcely know what to say to you after writing my former letter. I was unable to consult the class, we were so far separated, so we might act together. I thought then 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 anything. I regarded her character as above reproach until this last act; this I 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 para­ lyzed with grief, and did not act, as we now regret so much. 1 have written Mrs. Greene more fully. Very respectfully, E. C. Bowers. ! 1 ij 1; I i 19 Belgrade, Dec. 28,1866. Mr Dear Mrs. Greene,—You probably know of the letter we as members of dear Louise’s class have received from Mr. Newell, of your town. I thought immediately it would be a pleasant task, and wrote Mr. Newell that I could and would do so most gladly, but wished to consult the class. I have been unable to consult the class so we can act together. I have tried to write; and I could write of Louise’s character with much pleasure; but when I came to say, until this last act, I could not write it for the public to criticise. I know Louise took that money from her letter; but I believe that for a moment she was under an influence she could not resist, and therefore not guilty of an intentional error. The cold eyes of indif­ ferent people cannot feel thus. I think of Louise’s last request, to forget her; and cannot feel to bring her before the public again, which were she living she would shrink from, most of anything. Her letter I prize highly. I believe every word of it, and have not the slightest feeling but love and kindness for her memory. If it would do Louise any good I would do anything right. I cannot think you will misunderstand my motives in thinking it not best for me to publish a statement of this. I do not know where you were intending to have this published, or in what form, but suppose in the State papers. Please let me hear from you again soon; and believe me truly your friend, E. 0. Bowers. These letters show her to have the best opinion of Louise, and her desire to have the class consulted and act together. But there must have been some power behind this naturally truthful and kindhearted young lady to have prevented her, as her letters show, from giving Mr. Newell a first-rate statement of Louise’s standing up to the time of her trouble. None of her class were requested to say a word about that last act, or to blame anybody therefor. Who has advised, assisted, and obtained from her the very flattering state­ ments in her affidavit, as to Torsey’s love for and justice to his students, his impartiality and kindness to theifi, and how she knows that, is more than I know. And as to her belief that the Faculty ■desired and intended to exercise justice and kindness towards Louise, seems to be somewhat doubted by her letters. And what has led her to make such statements as to what she wrote me, and the unfair extracts she accuses me of making from her letters, I do not know. But one thing I do know, that Miss Bowers’s home is in ♦ \ �I r r I ' li". 20 A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY ON THE KENT'S HILL TRAGEDY. Monmouth, the present residence of Rev. D. B. Randall, who is one of the authors of the Reply to my book, and he is also one of the Trustees of that Seminary and College. il In regard to Miss A. S. Fuller’s affidavit: I did not call several times in the winter of 1867, to talk with her about Louise. Only once I called and' talked with het. She then told me what I state in my pamphlet, on page 78. The second time I called I met her and another lady just out on the sidewalk. She stepped into the entry. I then told her I only called to say that Mrs. Greene desired to have her write and give her a descrip­ tion of the garment, as it was said it was plainly marked. (Mrs. F. had told me that it was not-.) She agreed to do so. We went immediately out. The lady waited outside for her. I called again for this letter; am confident I did not stop at all then These are the only times I called on her. There was no urging at all about getting that letter; and why she should so-state I cannot tell, nor why she says that was a strictly private letter. There is no-, such request or intimation in the same. If this classmate regrets that a “ word in season was not uttered byour class to save her,” or to go to her the night before she left and utter words of sympathy and consolation, how can she say that 111 have always thought that the Faculty did everything they could have done to- save her” 2 If a word from her class would have saved her, would not tho same from the Faculty have been as likely to*have accomplished the. same ? There is not a person living who shall read all the facts in this sadcase but who would see and believe that if the female portion of that Faculty had gone to Louise in a kind and friendly way, that night or the morning she left, and spoken words in kindness and sympathy, they would have saved her. Why is it that this class­ mate shows so ■willing a disposition to clear the Faculty’from al! blame, and then represents the largeness of Louise's faults, and closes with the assertion that she committed “ suicide ” 2 That is unknown to any person. As this assertion is made by other parties, I will here state that when her remains were found, though very much decayed, they were in no way disturbed. She lay' nearly straight, with her right foot crossed and resting on the lelt, with her shawl on, close up around her neck; the left hand laying on her breast, close up to the crossing of the shawl. It had the appearance of holding the shawl close together under her neck in her last . i) j H li i ■i 21 moments. This hand was not gloved. The other hand was thrown back under her head,. as persons are accustomed to do in such position, to rest the head upon, especially if they have no pillow, •or to ease the head from a hard substance. Her hat and reticule ■were set close up under the large projecting rock under which she partly lay, she laying her head a little from the rock, on a small mossy knoll, thus giving room for her hat and reticule between her head and the rock. Her feet and legs lay closer to the rock. Her •water-proof had been taken off, and appeared to have been spread over her when she lay down. The wind had blown or slipped it over towards the rock. It there lay nearly the whole length of her; near the top a handkerchief had gone into the fold with it. Her head and shoulders had slipped off this mossy knoll further from the rock, which caused the head and shoulders to turn on to the right side. Her hand was under her cheek, where it was so much decayed that some of her teeth and finger nails were left in the decayed matter when her remains were removed. Three weeks after, Mrs. Greene and I found several teeth, and a finger ring, with some finger bones, in the space of the size of a hand, covered with •a putrid mass and leaves. This hand had a kid glove on, mostly decayed. The other glove was in her reticule. In her reticule were found a common ink-bottle, pen, pencil, note paper, a few envelopes, some other small articles, and a small memoranda. There was not a word written or anything there found to give any explana­ tion of her fate. Dr. Harris, who assisted in removing her remains, says there was no evidence how or from what cause she died. He thinks she did not take the poison, which it is believed she purchased at a shop in Lewiston. He gave me several good reasons why he thought so. If she died from the effects of poison, how could she lay so apparently quiet, straight, smooth, with her hands and feet in thqt position, just as calm to all appearance as if she had lain down to sleep. So all testify who saw her. I have thought that she lay­ down tired, exhausted, broken-hearted and ehilled to death. How long she was there before she died, no one knows. That she did commit suicide, no person is authorised to say. Aud whoever says that shows a disposition and would, in my opinion, exaggerate every circumstance possible against her. In 11. Ella Pike’s affidavit— I find her very ready to say that “ Louise would evade the rules whenever she could without detection. Her general character was �22 A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY that of a sly, cunning person.” These are bold assertions, for one who had roomed near her but a portion of one term. She never boarded in the College, while Louise was there thirteen terms. She was not in her class, and had but a slight acquaintance with Louise. While in the “ Reply,” Miss Perley, who Was one of her class, and had known her intimately for three years, says : “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.” Feeling compelled to publish Miss Bowers’s letters (another classmate of Louise), which brings out a strong re-endorsement of Louise’s good character, her great love for her, and fear of the sad results which followed—and no doubt but what at the time that feeling was largely shared by all of her class, as well as all others on tho Hill—with the long personal knowledge and intimate acquaintance that ’ Misses Perley, Bowers and Webb (three of her classmates) had with Louise, and their endorsement of her general good character, the public cannot fail to see why students of slight acquaintance should show such dispo­ sition to defame her “ general character.” Let those who wish to know what those students who knew her intimately for the three years say of Louise’s character, turn to and read, pp. 61-3, “ Crown Won,” what there is said of our departed child. Miss Pike says—“ On the morning Louise left she came to Chestina’s room, where I was studying alone.” (How came she in other girls’ rooms in their absence ?) She goes on to tell such inconsist­ encies, and what all the subsequent acts of Louise do not sustain, and shows such a disposition to make out so bad a string of state­ ments against her, and make so favorable a case for Torsey, and so conflicting with Chestina’s and Miss Reed’s sworn statements, in this long extract of what she has chosen to get up against the dead to please the living, that I put but little confidence in anything she has stated. I shall let her pass by, reminding her that she could find some violations of rules nearer home, if she should try. Does, she remember, in the absence of Dr. Torsey. in May, 1866, of any riding, hunting and fishing excursions made by students, in which her brother took a part, with my team, in the absence of MrsGreene and Louise, May 12, 1866, and the threat she made to tell Dr. Torsey if they did not catch her any fish, and other small acts- of disobedience? ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. 23 In Miss N. E. Hunton’s statement she says— “ I gave him a minute description of the undersleeves, not onljof the manner in which they were made, the peculiar stitches, etc., but also of the material of which they were made, and of the differ­ ent marks by which I was able to identify them.” What a charge this student brings against me, and what is the offense ? What are the different marks she gave me, by which she could identify them ? Let her letter answer. “ The above mentioned articles were of my own make, and consequently the stitches were somewhat peculiar; moreover, the garment consisted of a part of a dress I had worn in my younger days.” This is every word of description given me in that letter, which I now have before me. And no other mark was given me in that letter but the peculiar stitches, and no description as to how they were made is given whatever. The reader sees how false are her accusation and statement of what she wrote me. There was no other mark whatever given me but what appeared in the “Crown Won.” A person who will make such a false statement about what she had written me, I will not believe a word she says about Louise speaking in Torsey’s praise, or anything else of what she pretends to know of Louise’s feelings. I In regard to Mrs. H. E. Merrill’s statement of the amount of washing done for my girls in the fall term of 1865, it is false, so far as Estelle is named. She was not there that term. And as to the amount of clothing washed by her, if she means the public to understand that was all the clothing the girls had washed while there, she is much mistaken. The girls used to do more or less of their washing each week; and while Mrs. Greene was there, about four weeks, while two of them were sick with fever, she washed some things every day; and several times bundles were sent home to wash, and other articles taken back. As we had to make three trips home during those four weeks, she could not know much about their clothing. This shows a foolish yet labored effort to make out something in their favor. The statements of other persons and stu­ dents as to the amount of clothing she had. and not hearing her complain of losing clothing, etc., and Mrs. Patterson’s statement from recollection after the lapse of six or seven years, about what Louise lost or how abundant her wardrobe was, and the assurance that “ Mrs. Greene’s statement of her daughters’ losses is not cor­ rect,”—this attempt to contradict Mrs. Greene, the mother of Louise, �24 A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY in regard to her statement about the loss of clothing, the mother who furnished all, who knew all about the making, marking, wash­ ing, ironing, packing and unpacking, six times a year, to take to and. from that school for five years,—yes, I repeat, those students, stewardess, and others, who could know but little about her under­ garments, to attempt to contradict the statement of the mother’s own positive knowledge of facts that must be fully known in such a case to every mother sending a daughter far away into a college to board, among so many students—and no person who knows Mrs. Greene and the fact that she had free access, year in and year out, to my store of goods of almost every description, but knows that she would not send her eldest daughter to such a place without ample under­ garments. Mrs. Greene says such garments of Louise were abundant at every term she was there. Such attempts by this Faculty to work up something to offset our statement of her losses, our positive knowledge of the facts we state, may satisfy their friends; but the public at large will see through their labored efforts—their access to and the favorites by whom they are surrounded, and the motives of the members of this denomination and those whom they can influ­ ence, to over-state every little thing in favor of them and against Louise and her friends—to put much confidence in this effort, and thousand other things worked up and stated in the Reply. ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. is Mr. Packard’s affidavit— In regard to my going to his place to purchase his house, I can inform him that he is entirely mistaken. I did not go there to pur­ chase it. I went to carry articles to my girls who were occupying a room in his house. He then for the first time told me he was about to leave the State, and should sell his stand if he Could. I had learned that Torsey had made him a standing offer of 82500 before I talked with Mr. Packard. I knew this was said to be a good house, and desired to look it all over, thinking some day I might want to purchase or build a like one. He showed me the same, stated his price, which was 82700, and his reason for selling, etc. I made him no offer whatever. But I then thought he would make use of the circumstance of my being there and looking it over, to help him sell it to Torsey. He (Torsey) would not like to have me so near to him. perhaps remembering my plain letter to him a year and a-half before. And I havo good reason to believe (as Torsey was seen talk­ ing with Mr. Packard that morning, before this looking over the house y $ I 25 took place) that he (Packard) made the most out of it, to make Torsey believe I was there to purchase, and help him get his price, the other 8200. While I was gone two or three hours to the Corner on business. Torsey closed the bargain at 82700. And the representations of Mr. Packard to Torsey at that time may have something to do with the production of this affidavit, which bears evidence of haste or carelessness. One gross mistake for a man of his business capacities to state under oath—“ Early in the spring of 1866 I determined to sell there and remove from the State.” Now I would like to have Dr. Torsey, from the date of his deed from Mr. Packard to him of the sale of this stand, inform Mr. Packard that in the spring of 1866, he (Packard) had no such property to sell on Kent’s Hill; that his deed of the same was given on or about 24th of January, 1866; and that Mr. Packard had, long before the spring of 1866, ceased to be a resident of this State. I will inform Mr. Packard that I was not disappointed when in a few hours I returned and found the bargain closed and the deed made to Torsey. It is easily seen that there was no necessity for such haste if Packard believed I would purchase the same. If not, Torsey would take it, why this haste ? Was it not, when he got Dr. Torsey up to his price, that he feared, when I returned, Torsey would find out that I did not want to purchase, and had made him no offer whatever, and then Torsey would back out from his offer. He (Packard) understood what he was about. Dr. Torsey’s fear that I should live too near him, or his desire to get the stand, prompted him to give the other §200. I was pleased to think how my presence there at that time had helped Mr. Packard to sell his stand at his own price, and to see the maneouvering of Torsey. My silence is grossly misconstrued in Mr. Packard’s affidavit. It is very strange that while Mary E. Chapman could not remem­ ber to tell us, in November, 1866, scarcely a thing about what was or was not in their room when Louise left, or but little about the whole affair, that more than a year later she makes so long and minute a statement as appears in her affidavit. And her Statement that she had “ never received any but the kindest treatment from Dr. Torsey,’’ is so much at variance with what she has heretofore told and written, that I can but remind her how and why it was that she left that school, close at. home, and went miles away, to Westbrook, two terms, and with what she said to induce Louise to �26 PI i i h i i ’ Si A BEJOINDER TO THE REPLY ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. go with her, and afterwards wrote her, makes her present state­ ment look incredible to us, especially when again she says, “ I never knew nor believed that Dr. Torsey made any difference in his treatment of students on account of their religious opinions.” This does not agree with what her father told us in Nov., 1866, and why she went to Westbrook.. He also told me, at his barn, this same time, that he felt bad to think Mary left her alone that night, and it was because Mary and some other girl, or girls, were talking about Lou­ ise, and how bad she would feel. Some of them said they should be afraid she would do some act of violence to herself or room-mate; and he said as Mary was of a nervous temperament, she was afraid to go back to her that night (which was the night before she left). Mary says in her affidavit, after telling how she had gone, “ 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. She also added, ‘ If any great calamity ever happens to me, I think I shall commit suicide.’ She told me these things confidentially.” And again this room-mate of Louise says, “ I did not stay with Louise the night before she left, but 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.” Miss Case swears, “ I did not advise Mary Chapman not to remain with her that night, and did not know that she did not intend to remain with her.” How are these state­ ments reconciled ? And how does it look for the room-mate, after what she has stated about Louise telling of intentional suicide, and against express orders to leave her alone, after the talk with other girls about her doing acts of violence, and remain away from her and give no warning to others to look after her ?—their “ dear sister,” as she afterwards wrote me, and one that had been a sister to her, as she said of Louise. And why this long statement, so favorable to them and against her ? With her own admission of breaking the express orders of the Preceptress, she seems to be in good standing with this Faculty. She may have learnt that “ acquiescence in the opinions and decisions of the Faculty would cover a multitude of sins. On the other hand, Louise had learned that they would notice little things done by her that they would not in others. While Miss Case refused her reasonable request to go up to see her mother see p. 90, “ Crown Won”—she obeyed. As to Miss Chap- man, she has betrayed the confidence of her departed friend, and as it looks to us, to gratify the malice of Louise’s enemies. We feel justified in quoting from a letter of her’s, written to Louise from Westbrook, Sept. 30th, 1864, in which she describes an offence com­ mitted by her and other students, for which they were summoned before the Faculty: “They talked, but not as they do at Kent’s Hill, far different. Their talk did not consist in threats, but he talked to us as well as a parent could have done. They spoke to us very kindly and dismissed us. They talked spendidly. I wish you could have heard them.” I ft 8 1 27 Notwithstanding all that B. W. Harriman has stated in his affida­ vit, and “ the falsity of these extracts,” pp. 90, 133-9, of my pamphlet, as he says, yet I affirm they are true; and he not only said that, but another time, as I met him on the street, I said, “ I am sorry that you did not go to Lewiston after her; I think if you had you would have found her at the Elm House and saved her.” He said, “ I think so.” Why, if he remembers all about Torsey’s asking him “ if he would take a team and go in pursuit of Louise,” as stated in his affidavit, did he not tell us that on the night of the 29th of May, 1S66, when Mrs. Greene and I stopped over night at his house, when he appeared to be willing to give us all the informa­ tion he could ? He told us no such thing. And when I asked him, on the 26th day of January, 1867, why he did not go to Lewiston after her, he did not then say a word about Torsey’s request, as above, or name Dr. Torsey at all, until I asked him how soon he saw Torsey after he returned from the depot. And when he said some one suggested waiting until the return train, to ascertain if she stopped at Lewiston, I asked him if it was Torsey, or what he did say. He said he “ did not remember who it was or what Torsey did say.” Yet when called upon by this Faculty or their friends, he, like many others, can remember everything desired so minutely that it is surprising to all who read their Reply. His statement that the “ travelling at that time was very bad,” is not true, as I positively know by going to Lewiston the next morning. And the reason that Mr. Chandler was so long coming here that night was because he lost his way after dark. I know it was first-rate travelling for that season of the year. And those over-strained statements are seen in this affidavit all through. If, as he says, she told him she was going to Lewiston, and the reason for going, and would return that night, an �r on the rent’s hill tragedy. A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY 28 said page, the reader will see I there state no such thing. I do not connect Mr. Chandler with what I say Chestina told me. Then I say, :1 Mr. Chandler said,” &c. An attempt of this commitme to falsify facts through Mr. Chandler. she appeared all right, why did, he “ ask the ticket agent for what place she had bought a ticket”? And why did he tell me, six days after that, “he thought he ought to get on to the train and go to see what became of her”? Torsey had written me, May 27, 1866, that he thought our fears were groundless as to the course Louise had pursued. He tells Chestina and Miss Reed he has no fears of her, etc., the day she left. With all this from Torsey, Mr. Harriman testifies in the hearing before the Trustees, June 5, 186/, “ After he (Torsey) found she had left under such circumstances, he urged that we had better start immediately after her.” In the Reply he says, “ I soon met Dr. Torsey, who asked me if I would take a team and go in pursuit of- Louise.” A wonderful fact and strong state­ ment!—enough to spoil the whole, in view of Torsey’s own state­ ments to us, and what he had written. I know he is wickedly trying to deceive the public; and if others could know as well as I do the influences by which he is surrounded, they could better judge why it is done. I't / I, Louisa M. Greene, hereby testify and declare on oath that I did not tell Mr. Chandler on the morning of May 24th, 1866, at my house, that ‘ 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.’ [Go back in twelve days and graduate, how improbable.] I further say that this statement is false, as I do • know from the fact that Chestina had already told me that Torsey had told her it would not be best for her to go on to the stage and graduate; and against his wish I knew it would be impossible for her to do so. But this I did say, I hoped it would come out right. He remarked he hoped so, but feared it would not; said it was the general belief bn the Hill, if she had taken money and clothing as represented, that she was crazy and she would make way with her­ self. As soon as he retired Mr. Greene was called, and our worst fears were excited he and Chestina was off as soon as possible. “ Louisa M.

In their Reply they com­ mence by charging me with making “garbled extracts from anonymous letters.” I brand this charge as false, and defy then to produce the proof. And I will here repeat what I have said in my book, that I have not in the same made a single extract from anv letter marked private or confidential, notwithstanding the commit­ tee’s charge of “ falsehood " against me. Yet with this charge of “ garbled extracts ’’ scarcely dry from their pen they do the same thing, by publishing extracts of Mrs. Greene’s letters to Dr. Torsey. Why did they not publish the whole of those letters, which would have put a very different phase on them ? Why follow (as they would say) this wicked practice which they denounce in me ? They say, “ Mr. Greene makes no small parade of his religion." I brand this charge as false, and will appeal to every reader of the “ Crown Won ” for the truth of the same. I have not set myself up as a pattern of piety, or attempted to force my opinions upon the public ; but did say (see preface of “ Crown "Won ’’) : “ :To err is human.’ If I am in error, after giving the facts aud circumstances on which I base my opinion,—if the public shall decide that I have no cause,—I stand corrected.” (See the whole of said preface.) They find fault with the “spirit aud temper exhibited” in my book, If true, how much worse spirit and vindictiveness have their committee exhibited all through their Reply. Think of the loss of our child, and look at their special pleadings against me, judge and say, ye parents of Maine, who has the greatest cause to complain. I will quote from the editorial of a city paper: “ The spirit of Mr. Greene’s pamphlet we could not endorse, though the natural feelings of a parent afford some palliation and excuse. The spirit of this reply finds no sympathy with us, in so far as it attempts to put the worst construction upon every act of the unfortunate girl. Her dying confession to her sister, published in both pamphlets, tells the truth, we have no doubt. By �J 1 ii 30* A REJOINDER TO THE' REPLY ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. that let her be judged. Those who have not sinned more may con­ demn; but how few the number.” From an editorial of another paper, when speaking of those letters written by Dr. Torsey to Mr. Greene, after his daughter left, I make the following extract: “ These letters are in terms so insulting to Mr. Greene, so destitute of common courtesy and wanting in dignity, and so deficient of every lineament of Christian charity and forbearance, that all we wish to know of a man in order to form an estimate of his true character is to know that he wrote those letters.” I think they will be ashamed of their charge of falsehood against me in Miss Bowers’s, Reed and Hunton cases. Also they state and put forth as a fact that “ the tuition in the College course, while Miss Greene was in the Institution, was $6 per term.” The following copy from her bills, as paid by me, will nail this falsehood right here : Kent’s Hill, Nov. 4, 1864.

I I 31 This Committee speak sneeringly of the amount I have paid to this Seminary. If such bills are computed three times per annum, for five years, and a part of that time for two other girls, it will amount to more than they can wink out of sight. Add to this their begging bills for meeting house purposes, and presents to teachers, and various projects to coax and draw money out of those 100 to 250 students, with incidentals, amount to a large sum yearly, which goes to build up that Institution, and fill the pockets of those who run it. Those little pickings are by the force of circumstances wrung out of many a student who cannot well afford to contribute, and would not if they could well avoid it. They are shrewd beg­ gars and ten cent figurers up there. (See catalogue price of board.) Those who are there less than eleven weeks per term, ten cents addi­ tional will be charged per week. (See tuition and incidental fees per term.) “ Students who remain less than six weeks will be charged ten cents per week additional tuition.” “No deduction for the first or last week of the term.” “ Books and stationery are kept at the Seminary, and will be sold at reasonable prices.” Those rea­ sonable terms I found to be from twenty to forty per cent, profit on books, stationery, slates, pencils, pens, diaries, and a hundred little notions which they furnish students. On those sales the profit amounts to no small sum yearly, which comes out of those 200 or more students, or thdse who send them there. I had in the fall of 1865 three daughters boarding themselves; and while the two youngest were sick with a fever, Mrs. Greene went there to take care of them, and stopped about four weeks. Being crowded for room, Louise watched part of the nights with the sick, and part of the time she took her meals and lodging at the College, for about two weeks, for which she paid her board while there, the usual price. It is known to all how inconvenient it is to take care of tho sick away from home; and many little extras can be procured at home that cannot conveniently be obtained elsewhere; and neigh-" borly assistance relieves much at such times. Mrs. Greene tells me that during the whole sickness, not one of that Faculty ever called to offer or know if she desired any assistance whatever, or sent the least thing (except a bunch of grapes), and from no source was there anything sent them. Whether this was because they were self-boarders, or their prejudice against Louise, I do not know. Al­ though I had paid them for Louise’s board about five hundred dollars, and had received no deduction for her absence on business, �- V 32 A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY I to visit, or at camp-meetings, during this five years, they did not from the college send in a single article ’ to those sick ‘ 1 girls;■ and —J some broth, and Mrs. Greene could not once, when the girl desired just then get it elsewhere, she sent to the College for a pound or two of fresh beef, which they took pay for. Whether they will deny this, as they have other facts which were said to us and transpired before us, at the College, anl in that Faculty meeting, is yet to be seen. They are truths. ■ In 1863, when Widow Knight, of our town, went there to see about sending her daughter to that Institution (the daughter after­ ward did go awhile), Louise invited her to stop over night. They charged Louise seventy-five cents for Mrs. Knight’s horse-keeping that night. Mrs. Knight on finding it out refunded it. This I know by reference to her receipted bill for that term. And these are what she meant in her letter to us in 1861—“ All he has done is to drain father’s pockets, and give me what justice demands he should give the meanest student”—see p. 26, “ Crown Won.” Mrs. Greene had no one to call on to assist her through this sick­ ness but Louise; and she, with all her studies and sohool duties to perform, had to run round for and get the necessary things for their wants, assist her mother, and watch with the sick ones a part of the time. The whole tenor of this Reply, and those of this Faculty, and other fear or favor seeking witnesses who testify to her appearance and actions before she left the Hill and on her way to the depot, are so over-stated, and show her to be, if true, so hard and unfeeling, ' beyond all precedent, that it looks so barefaced and bad, that no rea­ sonable person can believe them,—when those words, “ Heart break­ ing; .dearly beloved, adieu!” were written just as she left the College—and all sho wrote in those two letters—and her weeping appearance at the Elm House, and on the road to her couch of dehth,—are in and of themselves a complete refutation of this wicked, damnable testimony against her,—and with all the evidence given to the public of her previous good character, honesty and truthfulness from a child, as known to all. We, her parents, are not bound to believe all that her accusers say they said and did with her, and what she first admitted and requested and shew them, and what they say she afterward and immediately denied or equivocated about. By her whole life we have a right to judge what she would be likely to say and do in that hour of trial—especially when it is 1 u i i s I p on the rent’s hill tragedy. 33 for the selfish interest of this whole pack to say what they do to attempt to clear themselves from blame. This may go down some people’s throats; but I will not and am not bound to take the dose. Torsey does not deny his stamping, his prejudice, and many other things. I charge him with wrong doing. He does make a sort of sweeping denial of the statements, and says they are “grossly false,” as made up in my pamphlet, of fragments of different sen­ tences as to convey false impressions. He dare not particularize what wrong I had done in quoting from his letters, as I have them to produce. He chooses to get others to testify for him, and not to burn his own fingers. And as it is attempted and labored hard in the Reply to show that she thought well of Torsey, and would have the public infer from it that he (Torsey) was particularly kind to her for a long time before she left, I feel compelled to state that I have positive proof from her writing, and other evidence, that she had good reason to and did dislike Torsey continually the whole of the last year and a-half she was under him; and that about one year before her departure she wrote a long letter to us, explaining anew all the annoyances she was receiving at his hands, her wish and desire to leave that school and go elsewhere, where she could be treated fairly. She makes mention of the fact of writing the letter, and what it was-about, and on the whole she concluded not to send it to us; so we never saw the same. Torsey’s dislike of Louise and prejudice against her are so well known, and are so clearly shown in my pamphlet, that he dare not, ■and it would be useless for him, to deny it. He said, when I charged him in that Faculty meeting with prejudice against her, that he and Louise had made up. Now I appeal to any candid mind, was not that virtually admitting his prejudice. Hr. Torsey does not deny his lecture, as described in Louise’s diary—see “ Crown Won,” p. 28. The admission of this one fact should con* vince all that the other circumstances as described in her diary and •other writings were enacted there as described by her. It is not strange to me that such numbers of certificates so favor­ able to Dr. Torsey and his associates have been worked up through the influence of this denomination, which I am told by one of their ministers is so large and powerful, reaching all over the State, that it would be useless for* mo or oue family to contend with it. I ■believe that I know something about their crushing process, as felt C �■ 34 A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. jh and described by my poor dying girl to her sister in that letter where she says, “ It will be useless to try to stem the tide; bend beneath it or it will break you down; say nothing of excuse or pallia­ tion.” I am aware that this breaking-down process is going on to crush and break down me and my family. And for what? Because I dare say what I know and believe. But I will charge Dr. Torsey and his associates, while on earth I stay, and if need be at Jehovah’s Bar, with dealing under prejudice, which sent our child from their presence broken-hearted to an untimely death, when they could have saved her. This Committee speak of consulting counsel in regard to my book. If I am rightly informed, they have had an attorney employed for a long time in getting’ up the Reply. This mountain of influence has labored long and hard to produce the same. And the public may think that some of their language and phrases are more suitable for pothouse politicians than for a choice committee, the majority of which is composed of minis­ ters. Covert accusations against me and family, such as “ libel,” « falsehoods,” “ sentenced to the State Prison for the crime of per­ jury,” “depth of depravity,” “such convicted felon,” “utterly undeserving of belief, whether under oath or not under oath,” “promulgating falsehood”! All choice language, coming from those who profess to love God and man! But this is not the first time in the history of this denomination that such a crushing process has been carried on. And, as it were, heaven and earth were moved to clear a big villain who was proved to have been seen going to and from a haystack in a field where the remains of Miss Sarah M. Cornell were found the next morning hung to a stake, in 1832, in the town of Tiverton, near Pall River, Mass. I have the pamphlet of 191 pages beside me, of that trial, in which can be seen the mighty effort made to break down the deceased's written testimony against that Rev. E. K. Avery, who was one of the leading clergymen of the Methodist’ denomination. Not only to destroy her written testimony, and the influence of her friends. The whole New England States were ransacked to obtain funds and witnesses, who, it was believed, were suborned, to testify against her previous character, and to clear him. No time or money were spared to disgrace her memory and acquit him, whom the public more generally believed guilty after his acquittal than before. We know something about this wicked affair, as Mrs. Greene lived at that time in the vicinity, with a leading Methodist family, where I I I I 35 she heard and saw much of their plots and schemes to clear him and of their own private opinion of his guilt. Yet publicly they would loudly proclaim their opinion of his innocence. The most cruel acts on record have been committed in the name and under the garb of religion. And ’the most wiexed, cruel and bloody wars recorded in ancient and modern history have been pros­ ecuted under the same name and for the same purpose. The most cruel tyrants and despots of the Old World shield themselves under the same garb. And a man, sect, or government which fight under that cloak are the most to be dreaded and feared. I think Dr. Torsey’s prejudice is so clearly shown in my pamphlet, and his dis­ position to annoy students who doubt the justice of his decisions mid do not acquiesce in his opinions, it is not necessary to pursue it here; but will mention that on one occasion this desire to control did find vent, and was brought to bear upon one Andrew Walsh, a teacher in that school (a gentleman of splendid educational acquire­ ments), for voting in 1855, as he was of different polities from the managers of that school. Yet he chose to exercise his right of suf• frage, and did go to the polls and vote, which brought down the displeasure of the refined and over-wise would-be rulers and judges of what a student or teacher on Kent’s Hill should think, say or do while under their supervision and instruction, at this fountain of all morals, as' they would have you understand. At early dawn, Sep­ tember 11, 1855, near the church on Kent’s Hill, on a tree, hung the form in effigy of this learned teacher, Andrew Walsh, who could fluently speak a dozen or more different languages. To show their malignity and disgrace Mr. Walsh, there were about a half-dozen different devices, written placards, attached to his arms, feet and body, a mean and contemptible affair, all of which was published at that time. I have the evidence and published account, establish­ ing all I have said in relation to this disgraceful affair, and know whereof I speak. For days after this act took place, no signs of disapprobation were seen or any means taken by Dr. Torsey to disap­ prove or condemn the act. Not until some of the oldest students had drawn up a paper and were circulating it for signatures, to con­ demn this transaction, and an account for publication had been sent off, did Torsey move to ferret out the actor or condemn the act. His forbearance and kindness to students might uot be much helped by consulting some students—the one who said all the notice he had of his expulsion was just ten minutes to pick up his things �36 A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY ON TEE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. and leave the Hill. And a young man by the name of Lord might think when he claimed to be sick that pulling him out of bed and jerking him about his room, by Dr. Torsey, was no very kind act to I him. spent much argument, under a mistake, or This Committee have to what room I claim the wrong of entering without design, as authority—see “Crown Won,” p. 121, all about it. They had better pick their flint and try again before they make so long an> argument on false premises. Yet they claim her (Louise’s} room was at their disposal the same, and “did not belong to her any more than a man’s house belongs to a child who occupies one of its rooms ; and the teacher has the same moral and legal right to enter her room as a parent would have to enter a room in his own house occupied by a child.” If this logic# is true, how can they escape universal condemnation for not eaercising parental care and protec­ tion over those who occupy such rooms ? They find fault and would have the public blame me for publishing Louise’s letter to her sister, when the class letter (which is about the same} which this commit­ tee know that letter was written to her class, with a request for them to do with it as they would like for others to do in like circumstances to them. “ Decide for me," she says. That letter was copied and. sent in many directions. And that committee of students did copy the worst sentence, “ garbled extract,” from the same, in their whitewashing report, and ask all the newspapers of the State to pub­ lish it to the world. And when in my pamphlet I give a fair aecount of both sides, all they charge her with and their excuses for so deal­ ing with her, and with her. own written statement, which was givento the public by her class, through that letter. And to free myself from the liability of any unlairness, so that the public should have all the facts before them, I publish both letters, while they in their Reply publish only one—an unfair attempt by this Committee to mystify the fair course I have pursued in this heart-rending affair. Another charge they bring against me is the sale of my book at highly remunerating prices.” A grave charge, in the face of the fact that they are selling their book for as high if not higher price, according to the amount of reading which it contains ; while they have the advantage in selling theirs, through their circuit preachers all over the State, as has been the case with such reports as they choose to send out from Kent’s Hill, instead of paid agents, as in my case, to sell my book. ■ 37 11 Who are its authors ?” “ And where was it printed ? These are the slurs thrown out against me, which I care but little about. But so far as its author is concerned, I will say that no attorney or .clergyman prepared or saw a single sentence of the “ Crown Won " before it was published. And the same is true of this Rejoinder. As to where it was printed, I will say it was printed at a responsible house, who when properly called upon will state all the facts desired, and where I thought the office would not be besieged by Methodist ministers. They try to make a false impression upon the reader where they refer to where I say she lost at the sixth term three pairs of white woolen stockings—oil she had. Just add, of woolen stockings. I did not say but what she had cotton ones, which she always had, and there was not a term when she did not have more than three pairs of stockings with her. It may answer this Committee’s purpose to try to satisfy their special friends, to say that “ the statements of Mr. o-and Mrs. Greene are undeserving of any credit, whether made under oath or not,” in relation to the amount of clothing our daughter had when she went to the College to board; but it will not go down with the mass of thinking people. They will believe that her mother did know what her daughter took with her, eleven weeks -before she was sent away. She does know that, and also what she carried to her during those eleven weeks. And we do know that from Louise’s ample stock of common under-clothing, which has been returned to us or accounted for, there was but one pair of drawers so old and worn out that they could not be worn. The .remaining articles are so few that it is a heart-sickening sight to look al. 1 wish my readers could see them, so that they could ■appreciate what a miserable and wicked attempt there has been made, by drumming up outside testimony, to discredit our positive knowledge of what we state. In addition to ell that Louise has written us, and what she told her mother in October, 1865, about her fears that she would not be .allowed to graduate, Miss Reed says that Louise came up to where she and Ches, boarded, about two weeks before she left,'and said (while speaking of the short time before the term would close, and of the end of her school life), u Do you see anything now that will prevent me from graduating?” She (Miss Reed) replied, “No, unless you are sick; and then you can substitute painting." Thus showing a fear up to .the last that she would not be permitted to graduate. �38 f A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. The careful reader of the “Crown Won” will see that many of the complaints and points I make against the whole management of this sad ease are not answered in the Reply. And one great fact the public must see. That they pursued in accusing, searching (even to her body) and lecturing, until they broke her down, and sent her heart-broken away, which caused her death, without noti­ fying her parents. He failed to fulfil his moral obligation, and to extend to her parental care and protection. And, without cause, his writing those insulting letters to me in June and July, 1866. The haughty, overbearing manner in which he met me in Lewiston (the first time I saw him after it was known Louise was dead), while I, with a sad and aching heart, was there for her remains. Again, the Sth of November, soon after her burial, when Mrs. Greene and I were on the Hill to see if we could get any satisfaction in regard to their treatment of her who they then knew was lost to us forever. Before this, as many know, various slanderous reports had gone from the Hill, as to the cause,* and where she had gone—all false, as the sad result proved. After passing Dr. Torsey’s house and going towards the College, and as I was putting up my horse at Mr. Adams’, which was near the College, where we were going, and as Mrs. Greene stood waiting on the side of the street, Mr. Torsey came down in a lordly manner—he was talking to a young lady in a lively tone—and just as he passed Mrs. Greene, and as I was approaching her, he, as it appeared to us, to show his disposition, and careless indifference for our presence and feeling, gave a loud laugh. His whole appearance and bearing was haughty, and as much as to say, “ I care not for your presence, your sorrow or disappointment—it does not affect me. I am lord of all I survey; from the centre all over Kent’s Hill there’s none my right to dispute. You may stop or pass along.” In view of all that has transpired on Kent’s Hill, and this won­ derful Reply, I am constrained to exclaim, “ How fearfully and won­ derfully (self-righteous some people are) made. People often become so self-righteous, so tenacious of power, of denominational pride and self-will, as nearly or quite to take away moral accountability: and it is often very difficult to determine whether their ravings and maledmtmns proceed from a sane or an insane mind,-therefore their sayings should be received with great caution. “Whether those who claim the right and do use skeleton keys, use them wrongfully we do not certainly know.” We do not .know of any way how such articles as laelts, buckles, bosom-pins, napkins, and many other articles could disappear from Louise’s trunk, We do not see how certain articles belonging to Louise, which were plainly marked, came into the possession, and why they were retained months by one of her accusers. The public will see what any one may expect from the managers of this “safe and pleasant home,” if they dare say that they do'not believe them perfect in ail things. The covert and mean insinua­ tions against their old student, now she cannot answer for herself, their great effort to put the worst possible construction upon every act of her’s, getting positive affirmations from those who once were in doubt about things—even the rattling of a door, the late appear­ ance at the breakfast table, are set down to Louise as vicious acts, while it is well known that it is an act of everyday occurrence for students to come to breakfast late in the College. Also their labored attempt to make the public believe that we are perjurers, liars, devoid of parental affections, mad, crazy, unfeeling, and proper sub­ jects for the State Prison. Parents cannot fail to see the safety of that “ pleasant home.” I think'every intelligent reader will agree with me when I say that I would as soon trust myself or property in the hands of high­ way robbers as with a set of men who will tell me “ it is not their object to deprive me of any portion of my wealth,” and then go on to stigmatise my character and that of my family. I would not believe them if they said that “ under oath or not under oath.” It may answer the purpose of this Committee to try to put a gag into our mouths, and to stop us from expressing our opinion of Dr. Toraey, or any one who dealt with our girl, aud call these opinions (as in the case of Mrs- Greene’s letters to Dr. Torsey) atrocious libels. The public will see by dates that Dr. Torsey’s insulting let­ ters to me were written a long time before Mrs. Greene wrote him. And her letters .were written him on account of his insinuations against her and her dead girl, which if this Committee and the pub­ lic understood as well as Dr. Torsey must, they would better account for some things therein written. If this Committee will publish the whole of Mrs. Greene’s letters to Dr. Torsey, they will brand their own assertion as false, “ that the substance of these letters are given io Mr. Green.’. book," K“"™« I the illtao.. of h-’ <“>«'«■ 39 ,1“. c“‘ "‘d'fre""c0 ”,h which many look upon the. wrong. eomm.tiod upon others, they �40 A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. counsel patience and forbearance. Yet those same persons, when a like wrong is committed upon them, no matter who are the perpetra­ tors, will show the greatest resentment, and will not care who is hit. Those pious savans are hard to please. They ridicule me in their characteristic style as representing my daughter “so nearly perfect,” and again in mock solemnity bewail my lack of “ paternal kindness and love.” For the perfectness of Louise’s character I respectfully refer them to the letters of her classmates, the numerous letters I have from other students, and her townsme:',. Contradictcry testimony of Kent’s Hill witnesses— Mrs. Daggett on oath says—“ We did not go into Dr. Torsey’s part of the house, nor did he have anything to do, directly or indi­ rectly, with the investigation in regard to the clothing or money.” Dr. Torsey declares on oath—“The Monday evening before Louise left Miss Case called on me and informed me that Miss Greene had been taking articles of clothing not belonging to her, and that Mrs. Daggett and herself were investigating the matter. I requested her to do it quietly, and to say nothing to any one about the matter. . I had also learned that Miss Greene had taken some mohey.” Dr. Torsey swears that he knew about the matter and gave directions, ’ while Mrs. Daggett swears that he did not. Which swears false is more than I can tell. And how Torsey knew about her taking money Monday evening, before her confession on Tuesday, is passing strange, if there was not preconcerted action among her accusers. See also Mrs. Daggett’s denial of going into Dr. Torsey’s part of the house before entering Chestina and Miss Reed’s room. See Chestina s sworn statement, p. 56, “ Crown Won,” and her letter to me of March 31, 1868, where she explains how she knows she went into, and when they came to her room. Again, look at the inconsistency of B. W. Harriman’s sworn states ment and what Dr. Torsey wrote me. Harriman says, “When I got back from the depot I soon met Dr. Torsey, who asked me if I would take a team and go in pursuit of Louise.” The day after Chestina and I had been on the Hill, the 26th, and found those two letters, which, with all other circumstances, had caused me to express great fears on the Hill of her destruction, and I then believed that most of hei class and other students had the same fears, or they would not have shown by their tears and anxious looks, such signs of grief as they did. My fears must have reached Torsey’s ears, as I did not / 41 see him. Torsey writes me, May 27, 1.866, “I do not think your fears of the course Louise has taken can be well founded.” s * He three days later tells us in that Faculty meeting he had no such fears. He tells Miss Reed the day she left, “ he had no fears of that.” He also tells Chestina, “ Oh, no; I do not fear that.” * See her affidavit on page 57, “ Crown Won.” Now with all these asser­ tions of Dr. Torsey, and the fact that no team was sent after Louise, who will believe that he asked Harriman as soon as he saw him, “ if he would take a team and go in pursuit of Louise”?—especially when I have this same Harriman’s testimony before the Trustees. June 5, 1867, wherein he says of Dr. Torsey, “ After he found she had left under such circumstances, he urged that we had better start immediately after her.” Which is true—Dr. Torsey asking him to take a team and go, or his urging him to start immediately? Who believes all this, if Dr. Torsey had asked and urged, but what he would have gone ?—if he had been so anxious, but what some one would have been started immediately ? If this is not overstrained testimony, then I am no judge. I think they can prove most any­ thing they choose. I have all the testimony before the Trustees’ meeting of June 5, which is very positive, and is worth preserving. Our assertion of favoritism is proved true by this Committee in their seeming approval of Mary Chapman’s disobedience of the pos­ itive orders of the preceptress. The labored exertions of this Rev.’ J. W. Hathaway, to back Mr. Houghton down in a simple statement of facts, must be convincing to all what they have done to get others to do. Having obtained from a student a copy of one of Louise’s exhibi­ tion pieces, the one mentioned as lost in the “ Crown M on,” I will give it to the public, and ask my readers to judge of this, and with all of her other productions, as published in the “ Crown M on, whether Louise’s opinions were well founded that Torsey s prejudice had and would prevent her from receiving any prize or reward for the best composition, book-keeping, painting, or anything else, while she remained a student under him. She had striven hard to excel in some of these branches. She had been a student there longer than most of the others. She bad, long before she left, become satisfied that it was useless for her to try, after she had so well learned Ins prejudice. She has a record in her diary, saying (after her attemp to obtain it in book-keeping), “It is no use for me to try. I shall never obtain a prize here. Oh, dear! how hard I have tried. But �A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY on the Kent’s hill tragedy. I did not care so much on my own account as on father s, as I think it would have pleased him.” She was generally acknowledged to be as good a writer as there was on the Hill; and it was believed by many that justice would have given her the prize in composition, painting and book-keeping, during her stay there. If the prize pieces, etc., could be placed beside her’s, the public could better judge whether justice was done her in those cases. I believe that they have a way to manage so as to have their rewards turn up where it will best gratify their wishes, or make to their pecuniary advantage — a sort of project to increase the number of students there. life. Let the boy well win his spurs, for please God, the day shall be his, and the honor shall rest with him.” Who that has perused the pages which recall those deeds of valor, those romantic adven­ tures, those tournaments, where all brave knights might try their prowess, and where glove, ribbon or jewel from the hand of lady love was the chief incentive to exertion and reward of success,— who, I repeat, has not regretted their departure, and mourned in his heart that the days of chivalry were past. Bold baron and belted knight have vanished from the scene of action, and their deeds are as the recollection of an half-forgotten dream. Yet who shall dare to say that the Spirit of Chivalry is not living, moving, breathing among us at the present time. Better than lady fair is love of coun­ try, purer than ambition’s fire is the hope of a nation’s freedom. Nay, we do wrong to compare the two; for the first wild flashing-up of a rude spirit of honor, in those dark ages, was to the present lifeor-death struggle for freedom what the lurid glare of a meteor is to the calm, steady light of the sun. Our heroes are everywhere. 42 r ANCIENT AND MODERN CHIVALRY. i How often have I longed to welcome back the days of ancient chivalry. How often through the long vista of departed years have I gazed back upon the first faint gleam of that chivalric spirit which broadened and brightened till its enthusiastic spirit lit up all Europe and the Holy Land I Peter the Hermit, poor and untitled, who, moved almost to mad­ ness by the injuries of his brethren at Jerusalem, raised to frenzy the hearts of nearly six millions of his people, and hurled them like the surging waves of ocean upon the shores of Palestine. Boemond, Prince of Tarendum, who, at the first unfurling of the red-cross banner dashed his armor in pieces with his battle-axe. and from it made crosses for his soldiery; and with him Tancred, called noblest of the Christian chivalry, of whom historians have dis­ coursed and poets sung. These are but few of the many who left home and heritage to die in a foreign land. Even the children, with scrip and staff, prepared to journey eastward. Like all other human institutions, chivalry presents a new aspect in every page of tho book of history. Sometimes it is severe and stern, sometimes light and gay; but the qualities of valor, courtesy and enthusiasm shine out at every period of its existence. At the battle of Cressy, where Edward tho Black Prince fought for his knightly spurs, word was brought to his father, Edward III., that his son, then a boy of fourteen, was surrounded on all sides by the enemy and needed succor. “Is ho dead, or overthrown, or so wounded that ho cannot continue to fight ?” asked the king When told that his son still lived, he added, “ Go back to those who sent you, and tell them to ask no aid from me, so long as my son be in 43 By the widening Mississippi, On the prairies of the West, Where the broad Potomac rushes, Union troops for battle thirst. They fight not for a shadow, the gay phantasm of ambition has not lured them from the quiet of home pleasures, but wives and mothers have said to them, “ Go I for our country needs you more than I.” God bless them 1 With the echo of ringing bells and booming can­ non, proclaiming the glad news of victory for truth and right against treason and rebellion, still sounding in our ears, who will not with me say, All hail to Modern Chivalry! Who will believe, if she had been fairly dealt with, she would not have received some reward of merit during those five years ? Her writing brings to light some things which were unknown to us while she was living. . ’ Persons invested with much power become tyranical and capri­ cious, almost of necessity, and the self-dependence of those under them is much impaired by relying on'favor, hypocrisy and fawning, playing on the weaknesses of those autocrats, and not studying, by patient diligence and integrity, to deserve and reap their due reward. However strange it may appear, yet it is a self-evident truth, that disobedience thrives on severe examples. A elose observer cannot Z �44 ON THE EENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY fail to see that an aspect of external obedience is maintained by severe discipline, which veils much of the real effect from superfi­ cial observation. The good conduct which insures the granting of ’favors, may consist in betraying a friend, or in some other way crushing out or blunting that nice sense of honor which is so desira­ ble in every person, and which should be the part of education to cultivate and strengthen. It might be as interesting to some portion of the reading public, who know the limited education of this H. P. Torsey, for this Com­ mittee to explain how, where, and by what means he has received some of his titles, as it is for them to ridicule me for the want of a better education. They perhaps might be as profitably employed to sustain the reputation and credit of this Institution, by explaining some things which have transpired on the Hill before Louise went there, as they are in stigmatising her character and abusing her friends. If the veil could be lifted, perhaps the public might see that some of their managers have not made a very nice “ distinction between vice and virtue.” How far that veil will yet be attempted to be lifted, depends upon the action of others. Tell me, ye wise Committee, is there no deception, or false pretenses, for the Trustees, of whom you are a part, to proclaim to the world by titles that your Principal is possessed of every literary qualification desired, and ask the parents of this State to send their sons and daughters to an Institution whose head teacher and president is so.deficient in the languages. This Committee have the unblushing effrontery to accuse us of a lack of love and care for our child. They had better cast the beam out of their own eye, etc. They speak of love and care. What love was shown Louise, and what care for her? I refer them to her class letter. That letter ought to'be engraved with a pen of steel upon their hardened hearts—" I could have died for one friendly hand grasp, and thought it happiness to die.” Think of this, kind reader how came she to pen these, her dying words, if there was any friendly hand offered, kindness or sympathy shown her; neg­ lected and cruelly deserted by those “ people of God, the leading members of the little church at Kent’s Hill.” It is not surprising that they feel compelled to publish to the world that they are the “people of God.” This Committee s unfeeling and,contemptible slur about the spot where Louise’s remains were found, is no more than we ought to < 45 expect. Her life and character seemed to be invested with no sacredness in their estimation ; therefore it is not strange that they appear to be divested of the common feelings of humanity. This is in keeping with the whole treatment we have received from those managers of that Institution. Yet there is to be a monument erected, and the spot suitably dedicated, of which the public will have due notice, and no favors will be asked of this Committee. They also have spun out (in their closing special pleading) a long argument to try to create the belief that we are hard with and unfeeling towards our children. This will not take with our child­ ren, or with those who know us. And to show the love, confidence and respect Louise had in and for her mother, I will quote a little from her diary : “ January 20, 1866—Such a nice old day with my mother ; had her all to myself this P. M., only the girls kept run­ ning in.” “21st—Mother was quite sick all last night. ' My precious mother 1 All that I have aud all that I am, under God, I owe to my mother. Even Sarah spoke of the great change in her since G. H”. died. And I am powerless to help.” “ March 27,1866 —Coming up from the College, found Ches, and mother had come.” “ 28th—I have devoted this day to my mother—a pleasant duty.” “ 29th—Came from the Packard house by seven, just before mother started for home. The day began with wind and snow, but ended in a drenching rain. Did I do wrong to detain her yesterday • M ill the public believe that she in her right mind would have feared to have gone to that mother whom she always spoke so kindly of and loved so dearly. That mother who Louise knew loved her most ten­ derly, and would have done anything in her power to have assisted her under any and all circumstances. This Committee, in the Reply, have endeavored to create the belief that Louise had not lost articles of clothing; that she had not complained of losing any. Yet they are contradicted by thenown witnesses. Miss Case says, “I think she said she took the clothin" from necessity, as all hen’s had been lost, and intended to restore°t at the close of the term ” None who should see what was left aud returned to us, would doubt the “ necessity. Mr.. Dagge testifies before the Trustees, June 5, 1867 (I have a copy dt all that testimony), and among other things says, “She said she had also lost articles of clothing, and had endeavored to keep her clothing ood - Then is it true, as stated in the Reply, that Louise made no Lplainl of losing clothing ! !•«> ““ �A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY, ing members of the little church at Kent’s Hill,” tell me who took the money, the postage stamps, books and clothing, from Louise, before they further pursue and testify to disgrace her memory, and In reply to Mira I.

In the fall of I860 I learned by reports that Miss Reed had made some statements in regard to Louise leav­ ing, and particularly in regard to Torsey’s admissions as to that conversation he had with Louise, and being desirous to get the facts in this sad case, I wrote her at Roxbury. She soon after called at my house and explained, and said, “As she was coming down so soon, she thought she would call and tell me, as she had not time to answer my letter (or words to that effect). When she, her brother, my wife and other members of my family, were seated, I asked her to tell me all about what Torsey said and did on the day Louise left. Seating myself at a table, with pencil and paper, I carefully took down her statement, which was nearly verbatim as it appeared in my pamphlet. She gave the statement freely, without hesitation, in full, and did not appear as though she desired to hold back any­ thing, and she never asked a single question what I intended to do with it. I had no occasion to repeat my questions or to urge her in the least. And it is very remarkable, if as she says in the Reply, <• I did not answer his letter, because I did not wish him to have any writing signed by me, I fearing that he might use it against the Institution at Kent’s Hill,” that she of her own accord should call here and tell us so freely what she did. Had she written she need have stated only the /acts. And here is where the trouble is, the facts are against Torsey, hence their great efforts to suppress or break them. down. She gave me no occasion for, nor did I tell her, “You need not fear; this will not be used to injure you. She again says I said, “ This is a matter of great interest to us, and we wish to know all about this, swyffy for our otrn satisfaction.” The former part of this sentence is correct (and who would not want to ?) ; but I positively deny saying the latter, “ Simply for our own satisfaction” When she got through, I said, “ If you could stop I should hke to rewrite this with pen.and ink, and get you to sign it But knowing they were in a hurry, and they could not well do so, 46 ’ try to break down all who dare to defend her, I think it very strange that Miss Huntington should, as she states in her affidavit, after locking herself into her room, take out her key and hang it up in her room. Now for what reason would she do that, if she desired to be alone and quiet while, as she says, she was studying ? She would simply take they key inside, turn it, and let it remain in the door, as it would not be but a short time before she would want to open it again; and it looks very strange when any one knocked at her dpor that she should not answer or go to the door. How did she know but it was some of the teachers ? And who, if knocking at a door in that manner, would stand a minute or two before they would knock again ? The most usual course would o be timmediately repeat the raps, and the occupant would reply in some way. It is also strange that she makes no allusion to this to Louise, until she is dead and could make no answer for herself. And it is still more strange that at this late day she can so distinctly • remember, in the absence of her room-mate, what she had done with her key. “ My room-mate’s key was also hanging up in my room.” A little too positive, I should think. As I have shown, p. 83, “ Crown Won,” that Miss Church was not accusing any one, I will give here an extract from a letter of her’s to me of August, 1867, in which she says : “ I communicated my suspicion to none but my sister and one other, till requested to do so by my superiors.’' She also says in this letter she lost the money “ Thursday evening or Friday morning.” Here is another strong proof that some of her superiors (she docs not say who) were seeking, requesting some, to implicate this old student, who'had but a few more days to remain with them; and as Miss Church writes me she went home Tuesday morning, this request of her superiors must have been made before the investigation and the searching of Louise things, as her confession was that day after Miss Church had gone. In most all of the statements and affidavits of students, Mr. and Mrs. Daggett, in the “ Reply,” there are admissions of mixim>- and losing of more or less articles of clothing, and that Louise said she took them from necessity, and intended to return them when she found her’s, or leave them at the end of the term. ‘t 1 7 47 �48 A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY only mentioned it. They said they could not stop any longer, as they intended to go through that night. Having received several letters from Miss Reed, speaking well of Louise's character and standing on the Hill, I wrote in the first part of her affidavit a short recommendation and explanation. And then from the minutes I had taken at my house, wrote out the affidavit, leaving several blank spaces where I thought she might wish to explain further, or where I thought I might not fully understand how she meaut to state .or explain. Soon after she was at our house, when I took those min­ utes, it came to us that she had told other persons in our town, where she had visited, about the same she had told us. I remarked to Mrs. Greene that if sho had told others what she had us, it would in some way reach Torsey’s ears at Kent’s Hill, and Miss Reed would have to suffer for it. He would in some way annoy her, or would get her to recant her statements about his admissions to her, what he said to Louise, and she (Louise) desired to have done. He would get her pledged by words or by writing so that we could not obtain the facts. I knew this man so. well that it would not do to have him know that Miss Reed had informed or given me the facts as she did at my house. This is why and the only reason that I was so cautious about having it known in Readfield, what my business ’ was when I went there and obtained that affidavit. And why I did not have that writing finished and read in the presence of the Skolfield family, in the kitchen, was for fear that some neighbor or , student from the Hill would drop in upon us, and report to Torsey, or to some of the parties interested on the Hill. For the same reason I did not request the Justice before whom she appeared to make oath, to read it, or to inform him of its contents, was because he was a stranger to me, and might disclose the same, as I then thought it would be to her great injury to have it known while she was a student there. tin Saturday, January 26th, 186", I-went to Kent’s Hill with my team, and called on Miss Reed and asked her if she would like to take a ride with me, as I desired to talk with her. And as she, her brother, and Miss Springer, were boarding themselves, it brought the matter so fresh to my mind, when I used to go there when my girls were there, with the long struggle-Louise had with books and tutors there, and the wicked management with her, without notice to me, and her final destruction. And those students, referring to those things, and of my coming with and after her during those “five ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. 49 years. It was not strange that I did at the mention of those things shed tears. Those tears ought not to make against me. nor be con­ strued as an effort to induce her to go with me (if she so intended it), in the Reply; it is wicked beyond measure. She showed no signs of holding back and not going. I said, as it was Saturday (no school) and work-day with them, “ Perhaps you have so much work to do you cannot go.’ She said, “ We have not much to do.” Miss Springer gave her to understand she could do the work, and in a very short time she was ready to go. As we left I said to Miss Springer, “ We shall not return till after dinner.” I had told Mr. Skoficld that if she came with me, to give us the sitting-room, with a fire in it, for the reason before explained. I had informed him for what I was going after her, and said she might not come. I think there was something said to her by me when I asked her to take a ride, about going as far as the Corner. After arriving at Mr. Skofield’s and having the horse put into the barn, as I intended to stop there until after dinner, and after getting seated I told her what I wanted, and went on to read what I had written, and said, “ If I have not got it written as you understand it you will tell me. and I will make it as it should be.” Part of those blank spaces was filled and part was not. Some of them were crowded and some partly filled, just as her statement and explanations required. They remain so to-day. The filling, out was done with very pale, poor,— what I call frozen ink. It bothered mo to write with it very much; before 1 finished I warmed it quite warm and shook it up, and it did a little better toward the last. When 1 had finished reading and filling it I re-read it through; then gave it to her to read, and told her I wanted her to sign it, and go before a Justice and make oath to it. As she was reading it to herself, and when I thought she had got to those largest filled-up places, and thinking the pale ink and some close filling up would bother her to read it, I asked her if she could read it all, and said, •' If you cannot make it all out I will assist you.” She said she could read it all; and when she had finished reading it she went to the table and signed it, with the same ink and pen that 1 had filled it out. I did not hurry her. We took dinner there, and talked some time with the family; then took her to the Corner, before Justice Bean, who asked her some questions, administered the oath and made the affidavit. As we left the office, Miss Reed said to me, if I was not in a hurry, or could wait, she would like to see her friend (aunt, I think she said), a D �50 A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY on the rent’s hill tragedy. while.- I told her I could wait, and would take her there. She said, “ It is but a little distance, and I will walk.” I said, “ Very well,” and unhitched my horse, led him to her friend’s house, hitched him, and went in; stopped as long as she seemed desirous to stop—about half an hour, I should judge. I then took her back to the Hill. She did not, at my house or at Readfield, ask me what I wanted this for, or what I was going to do with it, or in any way during the whole transaction ask a single favor or assurance from me as to keeping it from the parties interested or the public. I thought very strange of it at the time. I did once, and only once, of my own accord, say to her that, “Nothing you have said or done shall be known while you are a student there.” I was not in great haste while at Mr. Skofield’s, and did not read the certificate rapidly. She did have time to read it as long and as thoroughly as she chose, and the writing is a plain hand, except some of the filling, which was there done with that pale ink, as the original will show. The vacant spaces she speaks of can now be seen on the same. I did not tell her “ I left these spaces for the purpose of inserting other things afterwards.” If I had inserted other things, as she insinuates, those blank spaces would be filled, as also the bottom line, above her sig­ nature, would be filled, where there is more than one whole line above her signature now blank. I never told her, “ I will put this document in better language.” But I did say to her, about the time she was to sign it, I wished I had time to re-write it and put it in better shape (meaning, of course, before it was signed and sworn to, it should be done, if at all). She must have so understood it at that time. She did tell us at our house that Miss Bowers said, •‘Won’t you go and see Dr. Torsey; I think you will do best with him.” Could not Miss Bowers have gone to Dr. Torsey as well as Miss Reed. There was some reason why she did not besides that given by Miss Reed. She did say, and I took down at our house her exact words, that Dr. Torsey, “ in that first conversation in our room told us that he had never suspected Louise of any dishonesty in that direction.” Alb the main points in her affidavit, in “Crown Won,” were taken down by me at our house, as she admits in the Reply; and the public will judge whether I, from my notes taken down at tlie time, have not the means of knowing what she did tell us better than she and her brother have from recollection one year afterwards, as stated in said Reply. I did not ask her to say anything against 51 __ , or seho°l- I only asked her to state what she knew ie facts without any reference as to who it would hurt or I e She gaye me what I then and do now believe was true. , e<^/>re SOme ^ings Miss Reed did state at our house not given in he “Crown Won,” which I will here state. Mrs. Greene and I recollect them well. One was when T— told Ches, and I, and when I cited her going in her poorest clothing. He said that looked like going into the factory to work, or running away. She (Miss Reed) said that made her mad clear through.” She said two students went into Louise’s room the night before she left, after Mary Chap­ man had left her. and stopped awhile; and when they were about to leave, Louise said, “ Girls, do n’t leave me alone.” Mira said that seemed the hardest of ail. She said she ought not to have been left alone, and if she had known it she should have gone to her if it had been in the middle of the night. She also spoke of the carelessness of students about clothing, and related incidents. Said one time Mary Chapman went down to a party, or public gathering, at the Corner. She by mistake wore another student's cloak. It was there lost, and Mary’s father had to pay for it. Also, she said a lady stu­ dent, told Miss Robinson that she had found a handherebief in her possession with another student’s name marked on it, and they might accuse her of stealing it, as they did Louise. She said she lost, after Louise had left, a large music book in the College building, from the room where she practised. Mrs. Greene did not say in that conver­ sation at our house, when I took Miss Reed’s testimony down — and she utterly denies of saying, “ For we already know enough against them back of this, without your testimony.” The absurdity of this statement is seen at once, as we were then trying to get more inform­ ation. Sho also denies saying “ You need n’t try to shield him,” for we did not think they were trying to, and she had no occasion to say that. Miss Reed did say, after all she had told us, and as she was about leaving the house, “ I do not wish to say anything that will hurt Dr. Torsey or the Institution.” This was in the fall of 1866, and in January, 1867. She gave me her affidavit (after she had graduated from the Seminary, and was no longer a student there). I received in reply to one I had written her, a letter from which I make the following extracts: “ Belgrade, July 4,1867. “ I do not know as Dr. Torsey knew that you wrote me before, but i �■■■■ V 52 1. ii A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY some were condemning me, thinking I was coming out against the Institution, and I had not said anything against it. You know that I never did to you. Ben. Harriman said he thought I was in league with you, informing you of all their proceedings, and injuring the Institution all I could. I have always been a friend to Louise, but I am not to judge those who dealt with her, and never have. There were some girls in my room when I received your letter, and I spoke of it to them. Your letter proved that I was not doing more than I pretended. I have been in a bad place, and have kept as quiet as possible; but I did not escape the tongues of slanderers. My neu­ trality only excited suspicion. That letter you wrote me made my case clear, and of course could not injure you. I do not wish to say or do anything to injure the Institution, and do not think you wish me to. Those questions you asked me, and answers you have written down are only the plain facts.” The reader will see although Torsey did not know of her affidavit, yet a suspicion had sprung up against her (hence hiswatching for and obtaining my letter), and she felt a pressure or prejudice before she graduated. What she “was pretending” to do I do not know, when she says, “I have been in a bad place,” etc., “I did not escape the tongues of slanderers.” Who they were shedoes not fully say, but clearly indicates one of them. One question —What were their “proceedings” on the Hill,for which they would be justified, or choose, to annoy or slander any student for informing, any person they chose. (Kent’s Hill fear, favoritism or mental insubordination, I would call it.) Her “neutrality” would not answer their purpose; they were not willing for her to state facts of what she knew. “ I do not wish to say or do anything to injure the Institution, and do not think you wish me to.” Then she assured me long before I published my book, “ Those questions asked mo and answers you have written down are only the facts." After this, what was my surprise to see in the Reply her affidavit. The public can judge when the evidence is before them : “This is to certify that on the 28th of November, 1866, at our house in Peru, Mira I. Reed, of Roxbury, in couversing about the sad affair—of what she knew about M.

This is all Mr. Newell has in any way to do with this Rejoinder: Paris, April 20,1868. Friend Greene, —Your request was duly received, but such ' has been the press of business that I have been unable to live it that thought and attention which I desired before answering you. In the present condition and aspect of the case I feel extremely reluctant at giving any affidavit to be connected with the matter as proposed. When honorable senators come before the public with statements under oath concerning what their own eyes have seen and • what their eats have heard, and learned and reverend D. D.s step forward and swear as plumply that such statements are false; when reverend gentlemen and learned professors write private letters, and then in affidavits before the public swear to the reverse of statements therein made; when intelligent and fair-famed deponents make oath to statements one day and the next swear that their testimony was false, or was never made; when deponents complain to the public that they have been duped or tearfully persuaded to swear to what is false; — there is reason to fear that the public will withhold all con­ fidence in affidavits connected with any matter that seemingly has sueh a tendency to demoralize and corrupt the morals of the parties interested therein. The public perhaps, to-day, would award me a fair reputation for truth and veracity, but should I volunteer an affi­ davit, the ‘pros’ or ‘cons' might reasonably raise a question, after the adverse statements that have appeared, which I have uo disposi- �54 x ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. 55 wishing for affidavits to prove that she had uttered the same things in A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY tion to discuss nor the folly to covet. As to what Miss Reed said at my house in the fall of 1866,1 do not think I could from memory give her statement with accuracy, in her language, as she expressed herself at the time. We had at that time quite a conversation­ respecting the case of Louise, all my family taking part in the talk. Many of the statements made by Miss Reed were in sub­ stance, though perhaps not in the same language, as they appear in your book. I recollect of her mentioning her conversation with Mr. Harriman relative to going after Louise, and of her wishes and anxi­ ety in that matter — of the expressed fears and feelings of Mr. Harriman — of the excitement on the Hill—of the delay—and her own feelings of-impatience, etc.; but what language she used to express these ideas I cannot remember to quote. I do not think, she did use the terms 1 terrible suspense,’ ‘ terrible commotion,’ ‘ terri­ ble excitement,’ etc., etc. These expressions, I presume, were the language of whoever wrote out the affidavit for her to sign. It is not often that deponents write their own depositions. Hence it it the case that illiterate people and extremely broken in language are made the authors of flowing words, elegant expressions, of which in ordinary communications they might well deny the paternity. I noticedin the ‘Reply’ that the affidavits, as they purport to be, have the stamp of the same hand on most of them p but this does not justify’ those who signed them in denying the paternity, because their own language is not used, after they have signed them and made oath to their truth. I do not recollect that Miss Reed censured . Dr. Torsey in the conversation alluded to, but rather seemed to regret that the condition of the case and facts were such as to make him unavoidably subject to censure. When speaking.pf the preju­ dice against Louise, I asked her if it was known on the Hill that Dr. Torsey was prejudiced, to which she replied in the affirmative, -and said it was unfortunate for him that it was known. I came to theconclusion, after the conversation with Miss Reed, that she did not hold that the Faculty or Dr. Torsey were culpable, for or guilty of an intentional wrong, but for an unfortunate mistake, which resulted in a fatal wrong to Louise. When I remarked in substance that a seri­ ous or cruel wrong had been done . Louise, Mr. Stillman A. Reed replied, ‘ That is what we think.’ I inferred by that we he meant to include his sister, whose views, I suppose,, he understood. If Miss Reed on reflection wishes to say that her first affidavit was false, and. that she there uttered untruths, I canuot see the utility of your t private conversation. 21s to her making the statement in the affidavit in your book, you need go no further than to her last affidavit in the ‘ Reply’ for testimony to prove that she did make them. She says Mr. Greene said, ‘ This is a matter of great interest to us, and we wish to know all about this simply for our own satisfaction,’ ‘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 publication of Greene’s pamphlet ’ (P- 30 of Reply). It seems after the publication of your pamphlet She knew 'they’ had been printed and made public. They—what? Why the very answers that she gave you, as she says, she supposed, for your ‘own’ personal and private ‘satisfaction.’ She saw them in print, and knew them; and th^y were answers made ‘as well as she knew.’ From what she says about noticing that you were taking her answer in writing, and her hesitating about giving them in ‘this form,’ till after your explanation, I infer that these answers formed the basis of her affidavit, which, being arranged in form, she signed, and to which she made oath. I think this must be so, for these answers to which she alludes I believe appear in no other place in your pamphlet, except in her affidavit. She says you wrote her a letter asking questions about Louise and the manner of her leaving the Hill; but she says, ‘ By the advice of my friends at home I did not answer his letter, because I did not wish him to have any writ­ ing signed by me, I fearing that he might use it against the Institu­ tion at Kent’s Hill.’ Why did she hesitate to write, and give you simple and truthful answers? If she thought the truth was not against tho Institution, why did she fear you would use her answers against it ? She could scarcely use plainer language than she has in this part of her affidavit, to say or impress the idea that if she wrote you the truth it would be against the Institution, and you might thus use it. I am sorry that Miss Reed, by her attempt to retract from her former statement, finds herself placed before the public in so unenviable a position. It is true, both yourself and the authors of the ‘ Reply ’ have endorsed her moral worth, high standing, and veracity; but she can scarcely afford to be made the recipient of such puffs and fawning at tho risk of public ridicule. _ “After respectfully declining putting forth an affidavit in this matter, I will close this communication by saying that if you hav �a 57 A REJOINDER TO THE REPLY ON THE KENT’S HILL TRAGEDY. been guilty of using undue influence and tearful entreaties, as she represents, to induce Miss Reed to swear to a falsehood, or if the parties interested at Kent’s Hill have, by letters of persuasion, emis­ saries or attorneys sent to her, exercised a similar influence over her feelings, to obtain a retraction of her former statement, at the expense of her truthfulness and reputation, the guilty party ought to share the larger portion of public condemnation, rather than this unwary young lady, who doubtless would gladly have avoided any recollect that she repeated or said anything about the conversation she had with Dr. Torsey; but I do remember that she said in sub­ stance that it was known on the Hill that he was prejudiced against Louise, and that it was unfortunate for him that it was known.

Newell.” ' “Paris, April 20, 1868. “Jonas Greene, Esq.,— Dear Sir, — After the exhibition of the extreme uncertainty of the truth of affidavits, as recently made in certain pamphlets now in circulation, I feel that public confidence must be shaken, and not much reliance placed on such productions. I must therefore decline making an affidavit of what I heard Miss M. I. Reed say, in the fall of 1866, concerning your daughter Lou­ ise leaving Kent’s Hill, as you have requested. It would be difficult for me, after the time that has elapsed, to quote from recollection many of her expressions, or much of the language made use of at that time. I find by recent observation that when people undertake to give the statements of others, it is very safe to accuse them of. falsehood, if they fail in giving the same language, although they convey the same idea. I well recollect that Miss Reed — in the fall of 1866, I think it was November — gave me, and others at the same time, a partial history of that affair. I do not think she went minutely into the matter, to tell all she knew about it; but talked freely, and answered all inquiries freely— not censuring or blaming any one. I have read her affidavit in your pamphlet, and I find many of the ideas therein were the same she advanced iu the con­ versation to which I allude. I think she did not go into all the details in the matter at that time, as she did in her affidavit. She related the conversation with the stage-driver, Mr. H., very much as it appears in her affidavit; and she also spoke of her feelings, fears and wishes, and of her impatience at the delay, of the excitement on the Hill; and giving or conveying the same idea as one might gather by reading her affidavit; but I caunot say what the phraseology of her language was in giving expression to those ideas. I do not S. P. Gammon.

Reed, of Roxbury, came to my house at Kent’s Hill. Mr. Greene came there from Augusta on the evening of the 25th, and stopped during the night On the morning of the 26th he asked myself and wife if he could have a room, as he wished to have some conversa­ tion with Miss Reed in relation to his daughter Louise. We told him he could have a room as he desired; and about half past nine o’clock in the morning he went with his team to the Eaton House, near the College buildings, and about ten o’clock returned with Miss Reed. They stopped at my house to dinner, and were there some three hours or more. While there I heard no expression nor did I see any iudication of haste on the part of either of them. They were in conversation together some two hours before dinner; but what their conversation was I do not know, as I was not in the room with them. They dined with myself and family, and remained some half an hour at my house after dinner. Mr. Greene informed me at this time that Miss Reed was going to the Corner with him, to make oath to a statement made by her iu relation to his daughter Louise, and when they left they went iu that direetiou.

That on the morning of the 26th of January he asked if he could have a room for the purpose of having some con­ versation with Miss Mira I. Reed, of Roxbury. Myself and husband. Robert G. Skofield, told him he could; and about half past nine o’clock that morning he went with his horse and sleigh to the Eaton House, about one half-mile from our place, and immediately returned with Miss Reed. He came into the house with her and introduced her to me. They remained until after dinner, and were there three hours or more. After they had been in the house a short time, Mr. Greene asked me for pen and ink. • I told him the ink had been frozen, and was rather pale. He replied that it would answer his purpose. They occupied a room adjoining and opening into the one where I was, and I heard Mr. Greene and Miss Reed in conversa­ tion. I saw Mr. Greene writing at the table where he and Miss Reed sat, and he was reading from a written paper and asking her questions. When I went into the room to ask them to dinner, they were near the table where he had been writing, and Miss Reed had a written paper in her hand which she appeared to be reading. Im­ mediately after this Mr. Greene came into the room where the dinner table Was set, and said we need not delay dinner for them ; but we did wait some half an hour, and they then dined with myself and family. After dinner Mr. Greene went out of the house, and Miss Reed and myself went into the room adjoining the dining-room, where they had been before dinner. On the table was a written paper, Which Miss Reed took and began to read. Soon after this, Mr. Greene came into the room and said to Miss Reed. ‘ Can you read it?’ She replied, ‘Yes; I thought I would look it over.’ or ‘ read it over again.’ I will not be positive whether she said ‘ look it over again,’ or ‘read it over it again.’ It was one of these two expressions. I left the room soon after this, and when I left she was still reading this paper. They went from our house about half-anhour after dinner. While Miss Reed was putting on her clothing to leave, I said to her I wished to send some apples to a friend of mine rooming at the same house with her. She replied that she was not then going back to the house, but was going to the Corner. Before dinner I heard Mr. Greene reading to Miss Reed from a written paper. This reading and the conversation between them I could have heard had I chosen to listen. His reading was not rapid, nor • was the conversation between them in a low tone of voice. There were no expressions or acts on the part of Mr. Greene or Miss Reed I 'W- » 1 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

D. 32,000 !<OVT A New England Newsslip pACT Workers Uncover Gravestone Mystery I By SCOTTL.PARKIN Ten young people from the Lewiston Auburn area were working on a cemetery restoration this fall, when they stumbled upon a lone monument on Mount Gile in Auburn. Inscribed on one side was the inscription “A Martyr to the Prejudice and Caprice of Man.” The name M. Louise Greene was etched above. With that information in hand, and their curiosities aroused, the teen agers, all participants in the Androscoggin Comprehensive Training Program (ACT), began to in­ vestigate the mystery of Miss Greene. With some help from counselors, they dug for clues at local libraries and in the newspaper, and a few even went to talk to the West Peru town manager, who knew about the Greene family history. They uncovered a tale of suicide and grief. Martha Louis Greene was a student at Kents Hill Seminary in 186G. but was suspended for allegedly^stealing a fellow student’s clothes. Apparently fearing what her father would say about her suspension. Martha took a stage to Lewiston. At a city pharmacy, she bought poisonand walked into the Mount Gile woods. Her corpse was found by a hunter on Oct. 13,1866. The ACT group found out that her father, Jonas Greene, decided to inscribe Martha’s monument with the above in­ scription. It was meant to remind the seminary of the suicide for all time. He also published a pamphlet denouncing the seminary. According to ACT Outreach Worker Marie Stevens, the 10 participants in the project were proud of what they had ac­ complished "They really learned from the experience,” she said. “These are kids who dropped out of high school They really enjoyed it.” Ms. Stevens pointed out that most young people in ACT’S Training Readiness lor Youth have been disillisioned with with education. TRY programs attempt to rekindle interest in learning. “The kids have to really want something from our program. We try to teach them basic skills.” she noted. "A lot of young people think their situation is hopeless. By coming here, they do have something positive going for them." Ms. Stevens believes that education does not seen very importamt to parents in the area, and that effects the young people. "Dropouts seem to be on the rise.” Ms. Stevens said. According to Ms. Stevens, the typical participant in the TRY program is from an economically disadvantaged home. All young people have to meet Comprehensive Employment Training Act 'CET V guidelines, be unemployed and be a resident of Androscoggin County. ' W-' I : M1 ’ I / .I /YGr 11 ■'; i -r:~. “i'.

Many, many years ago, while hunting in East Auburn on Mt. Gile, I came across a small stone marker erected in the mem­ ory of a young girl. The marker was aged at that time. I asked around town and was told by a resi­ dent that he knew of the stone and that the young girl had been a stu­ dent at Kents Hill and due to some misunderstanding in her grades had become distressed and walked from Readfield to where she had collapsed. Does Sunspots know the true story? Willard Grover, Sabattus This is a true and tragic story of the young girl for whom the marker was erected. On top of the crest at Mt. Gile is the marker which is inscribed with the girls name, “M. Louise Greene, age 22, daughter of Jonah and L.M. Greene of Peru. Student for five years of Kents Hill, 1868 graduate, perished in May within two weeks of graduation, a victim of the prej­ udices and caprice of man”. On the north side of the marker is in­ scribed “I could have lived for one friendly hand grasp and thought it happiest to die”. On the south side, is the inscription “Heartbreaking, dearly beloved, adieu.” This mon­ ument was placed by the parents of M. Louise Greene, whose father could not overcome his grief and bitterness at the death of his daughter, who was a kleptoma­ niac. She had been accused of stealing and other misdemeanors (which her father refused to be­ lieve) by the administrators of the school at Kents'Hill. She had been expelled,.and rather than go home, Greene boarded the train to Au­ burn where she bought poison in a pharmacy, wandered out to Mt. Gile at East Auburn and drank the poison (said to be iodine) and died on the spot where the monument was erected in her memory. She was found by a hunter after an ex­ tensive search. There are three sizeable pamphlets written about this tragedy. One is by her father entitled “Crown Won but Not Worn,” another by the trustees of the Maine Wesleyan Seminar and Female College at Kents Hill enti­ tled “Libel Refuted: A Reply to Greene”; and the third entitled “ A Lugubrious, Doleful Tale and Death of Louise Greene”, by Judge George C. Wing. For many years, the Bowdoin College graduating class was brought on a field trip to Mt. Gile to visit the marker, just prior to graduation exercises. The pamphlets are in the Maine Collec­ tion at the Auburn Public Library under Kents Hill Tragedy and are for in-library reading only. l\ J � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Some day -- not this year, nor even next, but some day -the sports program will function far more smoothly and ef­ ficiently at Kents Hill, thanks to the existence of a versatile Field House behind the tennis courts, on the site of the present hockey rink. Throughout the country this sort of construc­ tion is proving invaluable in giving to all students more extensive athletic opportunities, summer and winter alike. The Kents Hill field house, which has by now moved out of the planning stage, will provide more field hockey practice room, better ice hockey conditions, more tennis courts, and a chance for baseball practice to get under way earlier and continue more regularly than the whims of Mother Nature usually make possible. Our field house will be of steel, artificially lighted and provided with dressing rooms. The gymnasium, now overworked especially in the winter, will be relieved of much of its congestion, and team performance will improve with the assurance of regular practices. Thus both student and school will profit by the new facilities of Kents Hill's sixth campus building. I ° £ A.; "tr- - . jft- i �A.

You rember how bad I usta talk and wright, well you oughter see me now youd never would beleive your eyes or eres neither. This here Kents Hill is wonderfull even for educiation. Miss Chote she told me wen I first came here thet she new they would be abel to de alot for me and they shur have. Starting rite in the first day wen we had meetins to get to no each other everyone with a nametag on him, and soon afterwerds dances up to the jim. One feller I think his name is Bert he ast me to dance but I didn’t dare to cuz my shoos werent broke in yit. The next Sun. we went to the coast to et lobster and I et seven, one more then at the Forth July Social last year. Youd have dyed to see me at the Saddie Hawkings dance, I wore a Buck Rogers soot that I borrowed from one of the senyers. Miss Butler was drest like a little girl she was very cute and Mis Mitchel was her mother, and the Galligans were in native costyune, Jermin I think. It was shur fun. Theres to much to rite I cant even rember half the things like the football games they wuz fun axept pore Larry Davy got hisself nocked rite out at Rockland, and the girls hocky was gud to. Ill allways rember Mr. Tilatson on his Back in the middle of the socker game becuz Kris Godsey tripped him up wuz he muddy. Then Mrs. Chase come and did she talk funny shes from Viginiar or somewheres. I went to Mount Blue and watched the crost-country fellers runnin in the rain they wuz good and tired to after it. O yes I saw some Plays, reel live playacters to I guess anyone can do it would you beleive it. The roommate of the best freind of the girl next to me wuz one of the playacters and wuz she gud Ill say. There wuz a western Play with Jimmy Cuzens and Bill Done and Bert Perry and it sur wuz a riott. And one called Chimbley Corner that was just beautifull with Polly Pet some­ thing and Karol Posick and other peepul, and one called the Twelve Lb. Look that wuz nice, onely I didnt understand it much. I think it wuz Englesh or some­ thing. Also there wuz a weekend called Home Coming onely nobody goes Home insted peepul come here old grads and such and we had a lekture by Docter Pettingill called Wildlife Mischif all about anumuls and birds werent they funny though and we also had a football game with a school called Holdurness and we wun. Just latelly we had a bankwet and et stake and ice cream and got Letters and Awardes and two boys Bill Heselton and Fred Stone got a big Cup for Good Sports and Sansy Buxton got a pin for GAA you no what that is. Thats the news sofar Ill write more later. Say hy to Jodey and keep the tracter oiled good and tell Mrs. Piggley she should send Elmer here its great well solong now. 28 �•r r » kO'Cs J5/ * G vi) r > r> -Ye- '; ' ■ / RTH3"' t )' r" ■ ? e^y ,_^ RS MH Dip/ -V®J V > * , (.2^ V jh.DEPT. -■ ==.

Take several underdressed youths, several large sheets of paper with num­ bers on them, a three-mile course through underbrush and swamp and muddy incline, a raw autumn wind, (a few rather puzzled but well-wishing spectators will help too) and a vague homing-pigeon instinct; bring to a boil with a fiveminute pep-talk and set in motion with the report of a .22-calibre pistol. That is the approximate recipe for Cross-country. This fall, after an absence of five years, X-country returned to the sports program at Kents Hill. The results of our meets with other schools, who have been at it steadily for years, were only mildly gratifying to coach Dunklee, but Don Taylor, running against marathoners from all over Maine, finished third in the state meet, with Arad Philpott and Link Turner carrying our colors over the finish-line just behind him. Alto­ gether, the prospects for the future are encouraging, and we hope that Xcountry will attract an even larger field of enthusiasts next year.

About twenty figures composed this Nativity scene: shepherds, Wise Men, Mary, Joseph, the Infant Je sus, the angels, plus the attendant animals -- camels and sheep and donkeys and chicken. The creche was placed on display in the ceramics room, appropriately housed in a stall-like box lined with straw, and many admiring visitors were attracted by the novelty and the excellence of the project. Elsewhere in the crafts room, the leather-pounders continued their Anvil Chorus all year long, and the looms were busier than ever. Even Miss Choate herself succombed to the lure of the warp and woof and turn­ ed out tweed material for a suit. Meanwhile, belowstairs, Mr. Bowden and his crew had a sizable pro­ ject under way: the construction of the Kents Hill First Fleet which, it was hoped, would invade Lovejoy Pond in the spring, converting it into a minor "mare nostrum." Below, master-builders Cadaret, Harmon, Rourke, Bowden (father and son), Harriman and Dunn are shown hard at work in the shipyards.

She says that a) that makes her feel better, and b) if she uses up all her Kleenex she won't have to take it home with her. We're all set to leave, just awaiting for our folks to arrive. I've just said goodby to Miss Choate, who says that I am without a doubt the most changed person here at school a) in charact­ er, b) in talking, c) and in looks. I hardly ever braid my hair anymore. Just when I am getting used to these civilized habits I am going to leave. You should be honored that I am spending these last few minutes writing you a summery of the spring term so that 1) you can see what it was like, 2) you can keep it and give it back to me so I'll remember too, 3) since I am likely to forget in time. These are the things I can remember from the spring: I. the last plays, called a) "The Neighbors" and b) "Suitable for Charity," with 1) Dotty Sylvester, 2) Lillian Gilman, 3) George Withee, 4) Joanne Goucher, and 5) lots of others; II. the track team—1) Don Taylor and Link Turner running, 2) John Nichols pole-vaulting, 3) Pete Hay shot-putting, 4) Hutch hurdling, and 5) Paul Grey keeping score; III. the picnics for a) sports and b) seniors and c) undergradu­ ates, and the IV. banquets at the Wooster House for both the a) boys and the b) girls. Lunnie Clark, they tell me, had such a big seegar that the teachers were a little worried for his health, and there was nearly a riott when the girls got back from their banquet and wanted to seethe movie, which the boys didn't want them to do. I remember also V. Bowlby at first bass and Mollie behind the plate and Mr. Dexter making himself unpopular calling the balls and the strikes; also VI. Pete Hay and Mr. Galligan at the last chapel, giving their best wishes to the seniors; also VII. all those a) chorus rehearsals that took presidents, as Mr. Dunn would always say, whatever that means, and all the b) will and professy committee meetings; and I remember VIII. that Mr. Currier was without one of his teeth, lower and IX. spring-cleaning, and cleaning up after it, what a mess; also X. Betsy Roberts who got very sunburned and XI. Fred Stone who got a scholarship and XII. the many June bugs that came into the dorm while we tried to study; and also the XIII. graduation ball, with its a) wonderful murales that Faith did, sort of Chinees and b) its wonderful orchestra that everybody liked; and of course XIV. the a) Baccalaureate and the b) Commencement and the 1) music and 2) prizes and the 3) caps and 4) gowns. There's a lot more, but I'm getting tired of these Roman numerals. We studied outlining last of all in English and I try to keep in practice. I'll see you all sometime soon. Probably I'll be on the farm this summer, but come next fall I'll be back here, you can bet. It's just great, it's a) one of the prettiest places and b) the kids and the c) teachers are swell and d) besides, look what it has did for me already!

They were discovered in September, 1944, in Bearce Hall a trembling, lost, odd assortment of characters, come from who knows where? The faculty of Kents Hill first noticed them and after some consideration and consultation among themselves deemed them worthy of examination. The newcomers, now thoroughly frightened by these strange and august personages, offered no resistance but fol­ lowed silently and submissively where they were led to Mr. Dunn’s office. After examining their certificates of entrance papers with strange signs intended to denote the mental alertness, if any, possessed by the owners, Mr. Dunn more or less reluctantly accepted them as a part of the school. The first weeks were exacting. The young strangers, unused to the ways of intellectual refinement, made many serious blunders before they learned to follow in the well-ordered purposeful life of the experienced students. Gradually their barbarian ways became less prominent and were superseded by the polished Kents Hill manner. It was in social activities in particular that these strangers evidenced the greatest agony that first fall with difficulty they restrained themselves at such informal occasions as the Cushman picnic and the Country Fair. The formal dances at Christmas and the Winter Carnival were sheer torture to them. Suffer, persevere, and triumph they did, however, so that today they are immoderately proud of their record and wish to proclaim it here. So great has been their pro­ gress that after only three years of the influence of the school their savage natures became so mellowed that they captured many of the prizes offered at the 1947 Commencement. Merrill Bartlett had manifested so great an aptitude for social living that he was awarded the Kreger Prize; Anne Gleason had learned to write as well as speak the English language and earned the Colonial Daughters’ Essay Prize; Sallie Jane Hamilton had proved that she w.s capable of assimilating the little refinements of gracious living and won the Faculty Prize for the most orderly room in the dormitory. Jean Wills took the prize for the highest class average showing that those early certificates of entrance were not entirely false. Others in the class were recognized for native talent and constructive work were Noralee Hudson in music, Constance Barr in music and dramatics, and Lillian Thomas in cooperative spirit. Socially, too, these at-first-frightened foreigners had made an incredible advance at the Snow Ball the king and queen were James Sterling and Eva Scott. When the Maroon and Gray Key Society was formed ip the spring of 1947, nine of this band were elected to membership, a high honor, since they were charter members of an organization designed to play a large part in school life. The nine so dignified were Patricia Bailey, Constance Barr, Barbara Brandt, Rosemary Fettinger, Francina Hill, Eva Scott, Merrill Bartlett, James Sterling, and Donn Worth. In the fall of 1947 this group, somewhat altered from its original membership in size, entered the portals of the school for their last year of training. How changed they were! No longer awkward and wild but now graceful and gracious, they were �ready for the dignity and distinction of their senior year, a model of excellence for the underclassmen. True enough, at the fall picnic at the Cushman’s delightful home and waterfront they reverted to their early ways, being unable to resist the temptation of the prize pear tree. Since such relapses were rare by now, they were cordially forgiven. True it is that a savage can never be completely tamed. In October the entire school, emitting native war cries, journeyed to Hebron where they watched the Kents Hill football team brutally attack the Hebron gentlemen. After a long battle the Kents Hillers made a concerted and merciless assault on their enemies and forced a victory from them. Such rejoicing as resulted is unique in the annals of mankind. It continued, with the full ceremonies of the conquerors until Lewiston was reached, where consumption of a strange food, called the Italian Sandwich, effectively stilled all other noise. A little later the animal spirits broke out again, but since there was no enemy to conquer this time, the students exhausted themselves by climbing Mount Blue. Late October brought a sobering condition almost to the very campus of Kents Hill. Forest fires surrounded the school enveloping the whole area in their smoky haze. Then it was that the true generosity of the class of ’48 asserted itself. Boys climbed into trucks to be taken to the fires for active fighting; girls anxiously watched and waited and made sandwiches. School was finally closed for the duration of the emergency. A memorable occasion was that of the Armistice Day exercises. Deering Chapel was the scene of a stirring address by Mr. Cymbrid Hughes of Augusta honoring the men and women who had served in the past war. A plaque com­ memorating their service was placed in the vestibule of Bearce Hall and the Tower Music System, a constant reminder of their sacrifice and devotion, was installed in the tower of Bearce, from which float hymns, chimes, and carols throughout the year. The Maroon and Gray Key Society needed new members by this time to fill the vacancies left by last year’s graduates. The class of ’48 contributed Joan Drew, Charles Armstrong, John Boutilier, and Charles Cook. The members of the class, wanting to leave no stone unturned in this process of getting an education, participated in dramatic productions. In the fall they romped through the absurdities of the one-act play “Scrambled Eggs” and made their audience tense with the supernatural horror of the offering “The Opening of the Door.” Proud of its accomplishments in the social world, the class determined to make the Christmas formal the best yet. Laid aside was any suggestion of irregular behaviour. Beautiful gowns and decorous manners graced the Christmas-tree atmosphere of the Newton Gymnasium. Immediately following was the yearly observance which proves inspiring to all in spite of themselves the Christmas Candlelight Service at Torsey Memorial Church. Highlighting these impressive vespers was Noralee’s singing of “O, Holy Night.” Following the winter’s mental gymnastics in the form of mid-year exams, native spirits were again given free play at the Winter Carnival — hockey, basketball, ski meets, and the anticipated Snow Ball. Here was joy, indeed! At the Snow Ball, Rosemary Fettinger and John Boutilier were crowned king and queen. �Hockey, and basketball, and skiing vied with lessons for supreme interest of the students, but never did any member of the class of ’48 falter in complete devotion to his studies. Only one outside topic was allowed to interrupt the usual flow of academic conversation the weather. The questions “How cold was it this morning?” and “How much snow fell last night?” began to pall by the middle of March, and they settled into a dumb resignation to the possibility of another ice age. An unexpected interruption to the routine program came in a much enjoyed trip to the movie “Great Expectations.” At last arrived the round of activities which brought these seniors to the reali­ zation that their school days were almost over, and oh! how much they had learned! No longer, as in their early unenlightened days, did they grab food as soon as they sat down at the table; no more did they run up and down the dormitory corridors; almost forgotten were the days when they had yelled from the first floor to the fifth. Now they were the charming, gracious personalities they had dreamed of becoming. At the three banquets, held by seniors, dormitory boys, and Girls’ Athletic As­ sociation at the Worster House, each individual was a standard of courtesy and charm. The Class Day banquet and program was observed in the Sampson Hall dining room. In spite of the hilarity there was an undertone of sadness this was almost the end. The round of senior functions approached, was here final senior meeting at Blethen Hall, while the dorm boys made merry at the school cabin and the girls celebrated in the recreation room; final baseball game; the tea given by the hos­ pitable headmaster and Mrs. Dunn; and the Senior Prom mingling of sadness and joy, of laughter and tears. This is the history of a people and their amazing progress in four years they became worthy and honored citizens of Kents Hill School. Four years ago they closed these doors behind them. Then they were on the inside, uncertain of the future, confused as to purpose, doubtful of the wisdom of this step they had taken. Now they close the doors again behind them. This time they are on the outside: they have charted their course; they have determined their purpose. They face the future with courage. They take with them a storehouse of memories and the confidence of those who remain behind.

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 envisioned a society on the secondary school level, modeled on Phi Beta Kappa, which should encourage and reward the scholar. The only chapters of the Cum Laude Society in Maine are at Hebron Academy and Kents Hill. 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 standards, and we have had about two hun­ dred students elected members of Cum Laude. Every four years there is a Cum Laude meeting of all the schools in New Eng­ land. Kents Hill sent Mrs. William Dunn, Mr. Goldthwait, Marie Bean and Marion Davis to attend this meeting last spring. Students elected to Cum 'Laude in 1948 are: Merrill Bartlett, Frederick Mansfield, Jr., Beverly Wight, and Jean Wills. Faculty members who belong to Cum Laude are Mr. and Mrs. John O. Newton, Headmaster and Mrs. William Dunn, Mr. and Mrs. John Gordon, Miss Sylvia Capone, Miss Vivian Russell, Miss Mona Ingraham, and Mr. Malcolm Swett.

The Society upholds leadership, personality, courtesy, and school spirit, which enables all to contribute to school life at Kents Hill in a worth-while and wholesome manner. The functions of the Society are to act as visitors’ guide on campus, to sponsor each season’s sports banquet, to help greet visiting teams, and to meet and discuss student policies on various student activities. Of the twenty members from last year, eleven returned to Kents Hill last fall. At once the members began thinking about filling the ranks to capacity again. In December Joan Drew, Muriel Sprague, Charles Armstrong, John Atwood, John Boutilier, Charles Cook, Augustus Gregory, and John Harunk were elected by student vote. The Society sponsored the Fall Sports Banquet at which Patricia Bailey was toastmistress and Donn Worth toastmaster. During the evening the newlyelected were declared neophyte members. Sunday evening the neophyte members were initiated at Headmaster and Mrs. Dunn’s home. During the school years the members of the Society have been busy greeting visiting teams. In the spring the main function will be to act as visitors’ guides on the campus. Charles Cook James Sterling �i Third Row: Second Row: First Row. i KENTS HILL CRAFT CLUB L. Paul, S. Hamilton, N.

The members worked with few tools, trying to become true craftsmen, not tool-handlers. Metal tooling was the first undertaking. The completed designs were made into decorative plaques. Since confidence was weak and hands were shaky, the students attacked the less ambitious projects of braided leather belts, cigarette cases, and small purses. Lanyard making occupied some as did linoleum block cutting. A few launched out into glass etching and metal etching. Attractive painted-mirror coasters resulted from the diligent efforts of some of the Wednesday afternoon devotees. By far the most popular project was the making of moccasins from a commercially prepared kit. With the coming of spring, fabric painting appealed to many. Craft Club has been a source of enjoyment, but more important, it has pro­ vided the group with new interests for leisure time.

The Spanish Club meetings have been very ed­ ucational and recreational with the singing of Spanish songs and the playing of Spanish games. Here and there through the year the members have put on skits, exclusively for other members, which were meant to be comedies but were some­ times tragedies. Much of the conversation and recreation was carried on in our own Spanish lingo, by the fine example of our student-Spaniard president, Connie Barr. AH of us enjoyed the Spanish wit of Pattangall Nicolet even though some gi it was not humorous. Throughout the gatherings various members have given interesting reports on different Spanish-speaking South American countries. We duly appreciated Ann Graves’ talks on Mexico and her contribution of data for reports of other members. We have carried on correspondence with persons in South America, thus getting incentive for learning more about their countries and language. A moving picture with a Spanish background, too, added to the pleasure of our work. Ivan Witham �Third Row: Second Row: First Row: KENTS HILL DRAMATIC CLUB N. Arnold, R. Stephens, J. Aspden, M.

Palmer DRAMATIC CLUB ACTIVITIES Miss Russell While the entertainment value of dramatic productions makes their inclusion in the school program worthwhile for the school as a whole, their greatest value lies in the experience gained by actors and stage technicians in the use of their talents and in the cooperative effort which is necessary for a successful production. The fall program consisted of two one-act plays presented at the Newton Gym­ nasium, December 6, 1947. The first was “The Opening of a Door,” a play of the supernatural, which successfully communicated an effect of suspense and horror to the audience. Constance Barr, who appeared last year in “The Professor Roars” and “Our Town” played the meek and loyal wife to a husband plagued by guilty fear, a role well interpreted by James Aspden. Others in the cast were Marcia Corliss in effective characterization of the elderly mother whose murdered son returns for revenge; Mima Gilpatric and Bradford Ames as the young couple who help interpret the plot; and Lucille Roberts, who was comical and convincing as the terrified hired girl. The second play was a new farce comedy, “Scrambled Eggs.” At a lonely mountain cabin an odd assortment of characters arrive. They are the owner and his guest, played by Pattangall Nicolet and Herbert Seaman, and their unexpected and amazing visitors — a haughty movie star, Reno-bound, Margaret Wood; her husband, disguised as a Russian chauffeur, Raymond Stephens, Jr.; a middleaged woman aptly characterized as a “fluffy-headed idiot,” who adored her two �goldfish, Natalie Arnold; and her level-headed step-daughter, Marion Davis. The character conflicts which inevitably rose, augmented by isolation and a food shortage, furnished a mirthful ending to the evening’s program. Credits should be given to the production staff, as follows: sound effects and lighting, Frederick Worster, Dexter Blackadar, and MacDougall Palmer; properties lighting, Frederick Worster, Dexter Blackadar, and MacDougall Palmer; pro­ perties, Carollyn Flagg, Joyce Wheeler, and Joan Fairbank; prompter, Joanne Hart; posters, Margaret Choate, faculty; director, Vivian Russell, faculty. Members of the preparatory school and junior college senior classes who took part in plays last year are listed after the title of the play in which they appeared: “Thank You, Dr.” Patricia Bailey; “The Professor Roars” Constance Barr, Margaret Wood, and Marion Davis; “Our Town” Constance Barr, Noralee Hudson, Roy Chapamn, Sallie Hamilton, Robert Rooney, and Charles Armstrong. At the time of the yearbook’s going to press, plans have not been completed for the presentation of a three-act comedy in May. �Third Row: Second Row: First Row: KENTS HILL INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB P.

Feingold INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB RECORD Mr. Currier Realizing the importance of international affairs in the world in which we are living, a great number of students have shown great enthusiasm and interest in matters pertaining to the international field. Many of these students are those who do not have the opportunity of such discussion as they are not members of the social studies classes. The meetings of the club have been held every other Thursday in the activ­ ities room at Ricker Halt Here the grroup gathers to discuss world affairs and decide for themselves what steps they think should be taken to solve these problems. Mr. Currier, a member of the faculty and history department, is the leader of the group. Through him the members receive a clear picture of the subject under discussion and, with his help, begin to analyze the problem and give their opinions. The many topics discussed this year included the Marshall Plan, Communism, the fate of Czechoslavakia and Finland, presidential candidates from the different parties for the forthcoming elections, and the Palestine problem as it stands today. Many of the members have benefited by these discussions, and all have gained considerable knowledge of world affairs. The season has been a source of pleasure and profit for the entire group.

Feingold FRENCH CLUB RECORD Miss Capone Marion Davis President Rosemary Fettinger Vice-President Robert Rooney Secretary Charles Armstrong Treasurer The French Club under the capable leadership of Miss Capone has had a very successful and enjoyable year. The club met once a week to discuss current events in France, to put on French skits, to participate in French games and to talk over the various ways that they could help the school they adopted in France. This school, like Kents Hill, inasmuch as it, too, is a four-year preparatory school and two-year junior college, is situated in a town called Le Chambon-sur-Lignon in the Haute-Loire region. The name of the school is College Cevenol, and it now has enrolled some 250 pupils. Up-to-date Kents Hill (the New Look!) has sent its sister school eleven packages composed of clothing donated by all the students. Each package has been gratefully acknowledged by friendly letters written by teachers and officials of the school, some of whom are Americans, by the way. The letters have been read in chapel and have helped to develop a real, feeling of friend­ ship between the French school and the students of Kents Hill. The officers of the club, Marion Davis, Rosemary Fettinger, Robert Rooney and Charles Armstrong have, in no small way, helped to make the club the huge success that it has been. The patience and hard work of Miss Capone, the officers, and the members of the organization, it has become one of the most popular groups the Hilltoppers have. It can truly be said that all members have benefited from being a part of such an organization. Joanne Drew I �Second Row: First Row: KENTS HILL CHOIR L. Roberts, E. Heald, J. Hart, J. Aspden, C.

Others, new at Kents Hill, gave additional talent to the group. Their faithful attendance at rehearsals and their cooperation in the programs gave a pleasant musical innovation that was enjoyed by all the students and visitors. The seasonable programs offered an opportunity for specialty numbers by Noralee Hudson, Constance Barr, Cynthia Cleveland, Sallie Hamilton, Kenneth Sprague and Gus Gregory. The latter, a newcomer this year, proved to be a great asset to the original group. There has been a variety of group numbers, solos, and duets sung at programs given during the school year. Mrs. Audrey Gray, director of the group, made this activity a pleasant and successful one through her persistent efforts and untiring guidance.

At the first meeting, the members decided to have no officers and they decided upon some of the subjects to be discussed, learned, or studied at their Thursday meetings. Since that time, we of the club have studied navigational charts their reading and course plotting with compass and ruler meteorology, map symbols, the reading of government weather bureau maps and airport weather reports with their special symbols, astronomy,the variable factors in dead reckoning, and Civil Aeronautics Administration rules and regulations. We have built, flown, and studied model planes in learning Elementary Aero­ dynamics. Several members have purchased CAA approved technical books through the club. In addition, members may be instructed in actual flying by Miss Wiggins. This club has given a great deal of fun as well as education to us all. James Aspden I ! !

Awaiting my arrival was to be the famous Merrill Bartlett, Esquire, who has been trying since my senior year at Kents Hill to convince me to accept the leading role in one of his first musical productions. A= I boarded my plane in Italy headed for London, who do you suppose should check my passport? It was none other than Lillian Thomas. We fell into deep conversation, and it was she who related to me the fact that Crosby Keay was to pilot me safely over the Swiss Alps. I had a very pleasant trip, but nevertheless I was glad to arrive in London even though we made our three-point landing in a deep blanket of fog. I had an hour to wait before my ship weighed anchor, so I went immediately to my stateroom and assembled my belongings. Knowing this was to be a fiveday trip, I thought I would look for some familiar faces as soon as we were under way. However, being tired from my plane trip, I fell on my bed for a short nap. It seemed only seconds later that a loud rapping disturbed my slumber. Opening the door, I looked straight into the eyes of the popular stewardess, Virginia Truche, who handed me the luncheon menu. We conversed for a short time and I dis­ covered that there were a number of our acquaintances aboard the ship. As I sat in the dining room having lunch, I was amazed to look at the head table and see that Dwight Chapman was the Captain of the ship! This brought forth memories of Sallie Hamilton. So, inquiring about her, I was told that she was on board, taking excellent care, as usual. Strolling along deck, I saw two playboys loafing in the sun, playing shuffle­ board. Ah-h-h-h, yes!!! I always knew that Charles Cook and Charles Armstrong would be bachelors. I wandered over to the swimming pool to see if I might catch sight of a familiar figure. There was much commotion at the far end of the pool; who should be completely surrounded by admirers but the former Miss Trinidad Eva Scott. Among her associates were the glamorous Barbara Brandt, Con­ stance Barr, and Margaret W’ood all soaking up the glorious sunshine in bathing suits of the latest style. It was five days later that I sighted the lightship off Sandy Hook. The man at my elbow informed me that Martin Johnson was now in charge of its upkeep. I exclaimed, “Why, I went to school with him!” We were now approaching the Statue of Liberty. As we lifted our eyes to the world-famous monument, who should we see but Joanne Drew brushing the statue’s teeth. Ah, good old “Drewsie” still joking around. Fascinated by the ease with which our pilot brought the big ship into the harbor, we simply stared when we recognized his face. It was no less than Gardner Richardson! As I walked down the gangplank, I was thankful to see Mr. Bartlett. Some­ what surprised, however, I saw he had a lady with him. It was his private secre­ tary, Elzina Cates. My, what a small world! The three of us hastily hailed a cab and directed our driver to the Biltmore. Hearing a familiar voice, we closely scrutinized his face Richard Berry! It was also very surprising to see Jackie Cadaret behind the clerk’s desk in the hotel lobby. �Rehearsals were soon booming along. It was then that I found that Donn Worth was to be my leading man; and Andi Gleason would be the costume de­ signer. Besides all this;, Nancy Gardiner would provide the piano accompaniment. After an extremely late rehearsal, it seemed good to breathe the fresh air (what there was of it!) and especially good to bump into Marian Luce, Jean Rolfe and Barbara Wyman. I was very interested to learn that they are now employed by three prominent brokers that were now financial wizards: John Boutilier, majority stockholder of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company; Russell Shepherd, President of the International Telephone and Telegraph Company; Frederick Mansfield, Jr., a powerful influence in the E. I. Dupont Company. Opening night finally arrived. Among the celebrities to attend were Jean Wills, owner of the Greater New York and New Jersey Cleaning Company; and accompanying her was a former classmate, Beverly Wight. A private box was occupied by Harry Thompson, escorting Francina Hill who is now the star model for the Neiman-Marcus Store, and Rosemary Fcttinger with her world-famous husband, James Sterling, the first American member of the Olympics to bring home the gold medal for downhill- Rosemary’s guest for the evening was Victoria Samaha who returned home with Jim after winning great fame as a lady member of Olympics. In the lobby, taking pictures of these world-famous people, were Mr. Robert Rooney, star reporter of the New York Herald Tribune and Jean Penta, progressive reporter for the New York Times. As the audience filed out after the final curtain call, I kept my eyes open for any familiar faces. Who should I see but three former classmates from Maine who were visiting the big city. They were Anne Allen, Marilyn Owen, and Vir­ ginia Welch all of them now teachers at dear old Kents Hill. Suffering from an infection of the larynx, after two months of acting, a rest in Maine seemed to offer the best opportunity for recuperating. Taking the State-of-Maine Express from New York, I began my journey to Augusta. I heard a man shout, “Have your tickets ready, please.” When I looked up, a beaming countenance shone down on me; it was Turner Perkins, the con­ ductor for the New Haven! Hearing a friendly voice, I looked about. “Beverly Latham,” I cried, “Where are you going?” “O Patricia Wyatt and I are returning for the annual August reunion,” she replied. After an unpleasant, tiring journey, I was more than happy to have my dear roommate, Patricia Bailey meet me at the Augusta station. It was relaxing to sit back in Pat’s ’5 4Buick and dream of the pleasant days to come in her Mount Vernon home. I was also very desirous of seeing her new museum of fine rocks and fossils which she has been collecting ever since her days at Kents Hill.

But, on the other hand, if spirit, the will to win, and hard work mean anything at all, the season was a success. Coach Swett was given a squad of fifteen boys from which to pick his first team. Most of these boys were in the light-weight class and had little or no ex­ perience. The team respected their coach and played to win every game, and even though their only win was with the help of the varsity reserves, they were never badly beaten. The team was always able to play an even game with their op­ ponents during the first half, but the second session always found them outscored. Had the team had ample reserves, so that the first team would not have had to play the entire game, many of the games could have been won. The team’s heavy-weight and easily their most outstanding lineman was Gene McCarthy. Much credit goes to the team’s coach for this, for Gene disliked football at the beginning of the season. But under Coach Swett’s guidance he found football his favorite sport. He has three more years on the Kents Hill gridiron.

After Kents Hill and Hebron pushed each other up and down the field for three quarters, John Harunk returned a punt to the two-yard line. Two downs later he pushed it over for the only touchdown of the game. The next game was the Livermore Falls game which'we lost. The following week the team came back to win a close game with Wilton, 7-6. The team came out on top again with an 18-0 win over M. C. I. John Harunk sparked the team, as usual, to a fine victory. The team traveled to Farmington the next week to trounce them, 20-12. This was the hardest fought, roughest game of all the season. A powerful Maine Frosh team walloped us, 34-0. The last game was a heartbreaker which we lost 18-7 to St. Dominic’s. The season was one to be proud of and one which most of us will never forget.

As it was the last year for all the varsity team member’s participation in hockey, we wanted to make it a good season. We succeeded in doing this in spite of all the casualties, resulting in many black-and-blue shins, twisted ankles, and broken hockey sticks. Each day some progress was made under the able direction of Coach Parker. Our first game was away with Wilton. Andi Gleason, dodging the opposing team’s defense, quickly scored our first goal. The game was a victory for Kents Hill. Two weeks later the old, faithful orange-colored bus was waiting to take us to Cony. We weren’t victorious in this game, though we were not defeated. We tied, the credit going to Jimmy Owen, our center forward, for scoring our three goals. �We followed the newspapers anxiously every day to note the triumphant results of Cony High. We played our return game at Cony. Much to our dis­ appointment the tower bell did not ring that day. This game showed two evenlymatched teams fighting with much spirit.

Miss Wiggins. Although most of the Jayvees were inexperienced, we profited by the coach’s careful guidance. Our game at Cony High, in Augusta, was played under unusual conditions as the field resembled a dust bowl! Blown about by a strong wind, the dust made it rather difficult for the players to locate the ball. Nevertheless, it proved to be an interesting, if not victorious, game. We also lost our game with Cony that was played at Kents Hill, but from experience gained in these two games, the returning members are bound to be Varsity material. Even this year we had two members, Constance Barr and Janet Caldwell, who were able to advance into varsity field hockey! Virginia Truche was a returning member to the squad, and that she had ability and popularity was proved by the fact that she was elected captain. The managers, Virginia Truche and Cynthia Cleveland, backed the team with their cooperative spirit.

Whether the weather was fair or foul, every afternoon at three o’clock ten or twelve strong-looking men could be seen making their way to the ski slope to ready it for the winter season. Armed with shovels, picks, saws, knives and fortitude, they were out for an hour of developing their muscles. These fair lads were never discouraged, for at the end of the trail a bulldozer was always waiting. Wonders were accomplished to the sound of dynamite, trees crashing to the ground not to mention “Red” Daniels’ jokes! The great opportunity arrived when Stephens, Holmes, and Stenger offered to clear the girls’ slope only to find the gals were missing but they did a great job! So hats off to the Outing Club for its efficiency and effort! Eva Scott Elzina Cates �18 Second Row: First Row: KENTS HILL BOYS' JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Mr. Currier, G. Gregory, H. Seaman, R.

Mr. Currier came to the rescue to show the boys the techniques and rules and to give us his able leadership. He was more of friend giving help where it was needed than coach. The season began well with a victory after a very short period of practice. There were defeats when we became over-confident, but on the whole the season was a sficcess. On looking at the scores we might find that the team was weak on the court, but the scores will not show all the fun that everyone had- at the practice sessions, in the gym and the bus. The books do not show the times before practice when everyone fooled around and joked nor the serious feeling that each one of us had after practice. It was then that we would feel that “tomorrow” we should try harder and that we would try this, or that, play again. The time was well spent in the building of character and in keeping physically trim. None of us realized that we were in good condition until we had missed the game for a while. Our season was a success as it helped to round personalities and kept our minds busy with a good clean sport.

A large group of able men reported for the first practice. Soon after we started, Gilbert Philbrick, our center, had to leave school be­ cause of basketball injuries. This was a serious blow to the team. Within a few­ weeks w’e were fortunate in the arrival of a new student, Russell Shepherd. He was a basketball player, and tall enough to take Philbrick’s place. Again our hopes began to rise. Our team began to shape up for the big test before us in com­ peting with the best of Maine preparatory schools. As the season progressed we won and lost our share of games. Our most exciting and heartbreaking game was a loss to M. C. I. by a score of 57-51. Then we began to profit by our errors and went on to win our last four games. The highlight of the season was Kents Hill’s beating Hebron in the last game of the season. “Red” Kimball wTas the spark of the team with a total of 178 points for the season. Ed Perkins was also a serious threat from the corners of the floor. John Atwood was a help to the team by taking rebounds off the opposing team's board. Marshall Sawyer was a key man with his pivot shot from the bucket.

With the exception of our last game, which was a tie, we now stand the “Undefeated Kents Hill Jayvees”! Although many of the games were very close, we usually came through a few points ahead, thanks to Miss Wiggins’ constant coaching and enduring patience. Outstanding forwards on this years’ team were Barbara Purssell, Carol Flagg, and Joan Weinfeld. Guards were Jean Rolfe, Carol Fogg, and Betty Shillaber. These six were usually on the starting line-up. Our best and most exciting game of the season was our next-to-last game which was with Cony. The score was very close all through the game and many times a tie. At the close of the last quarter, the score was tied, 16-16, when Barbie Purssell saved the day with a foul shot and won the game. This has been a happy and enjoyable season for all members of the Jayvee team, and we hope that next year’s Jayvees will be equally successful.

The most exciting game of the year was the Winter Carnival game with Lawrence High.

Under the excellent coaching of Mr. Swett, the team came a long way as can be seen by the steady improvement in the scores. Favored by good ice and plenty of cold weather, a stiff twenty-game schedule was played with much action and excitement provided for the onlookers who braved the cold. A good first line with Norm Higgins in the center and Herb Phillips and “Pinhead” Perkins on the wings accounted for most of our goals. Backed by a good defense and goalie, points were precious and many low-scoring games were played. Typical of these was the Lewiston game in which we played to a 1-1 tie after suffering an 8-2 defeat on their home ice. We all agree that it was a successful season with plenty of spirit and action, a good advertisement of the school, and a tribute to Mr. Swett. —Robert Rooney Turner Perkins �Third Row: Second Row: First Row: KENTS HILL BOYS’ SKI TEAM G.

Kents Hill had a stiff schedule planned which made practice very spiritied. The Rumford ski team came to Kents Hill on January 17. Rumford took an early lead and stayed out in front to the end. Charlie Armstrong and Gordon Fenton were Kents Hill’s only men to place. On January 24 the Hebron ski team came to Kents Hill. The Kents Hill team did better in scoring high in each event, but Hebron took most of the im­ portant first four places. �< I I I > I ■J____ 1 Our Winter Carnival came January 31, and with it came our first victory It was the fourth consecutive year that Kents Hill had won its own Winter Car­ nival. In the slalom Dexter Blackadar took first, Jim Sterling second, and Charlie Armstrong took third place. Ivan Witham placed third in cross country. In jumping Charlie Armstrong placed first this made the third time Charlie placed for the day. Winter Carnival ended with a “Snow Ball” at which King John Boutilier and Queen Rosemary Fettinger were crowned and the skiing awards for the day were given. Kents Hill traveled to the Wilton Carnival on February 7. In the field events of the morning Kents Hill was tied for last place. In the slalom and downhill events of the afternoon Kents Hill led the field which pushed the team into third place in final scoring. On February 17, Kents Hill traveled to Hebron for a return meet. There Kents Hill received its worst trouncing of the season. Eva Scott James Sterling �KENTS HILL GIRLS’ SKI TEAM Mi»s Parker, J. Wheeler, B. Latham, F. Hill, R. Fettinger, M. Davis, P.

This year’s ski team is the first official Girls’ Ski Team that Kents Hill has ever had, and the impressive record the team has made has done honor to Coach Virginia Parker and her' assistant, Vicki Samaha. Outstanding characteristics of our team members are below. Frannie Hill Captain Frannie a translation of music into motion, or smooth and easy grace on any slope. Pat Bailey showed such enthusiasm in one of our meets that on the way through a flush she decided to straddle a flag and went zooming down the hill with it! Rosebud Fettinger lost her ski in one of the races and she finished gallantly on one ski, hobbling to the finish line. Joyce Wheeler surprised us all when she took first place in downhill at Jay, and as a result she became an official member of the team. Bev Latham quiet, reserved, Bev has the right technique on the ski hill! Davie Davis certainly got in her share of sitzmarks at the beginning of the year, but she has shown us all that where there’s a will there’s a way.

All in all, the boys had a good season, the highlights being the two wins over Hebron. Even though the team got off to a poor start, they improved steadily to finish with a six won-five lost record under Coach Vellante’s able guidance.

Many of the group had never played tennis before, but with the help of Miss Fairbank they all began to learn rapidly. Vicki Samaha was elected captain of the group. A very few of the players had had previous experience, and these people spent their time trying to improve their techniques. This section included Vicki Samaha, Joanne Weinfield and Joyce Wheeler. Among those who had not played much before but who improved the most were “Dusty” Paul, Barbie Purssell, Nancy Lord, Polly Lewis; Marcia Cor­ liss and Nancy Jackson. Several exciting matches were played with Mr. Dunn and Miss Fairbank playing against Joanne Weinfeld and Joyce Wheeler. The outcome was the same each time a victory for Mr. Dunn and Miss Fairbank. The experience gained from these matches was good for the girls and all enjoyed them. There were no outside games with other schools this fall, but we took ad­ vantage of the gorgeous fall weather to get a firm hold on the fundamentals.

Jimmie Owen, our veteran catcher from the previous season, proved her ability behind the plate on many occasions. First base and second base, Vicki Samaha and Joanne Drew respectively, would have been a boon to any team. We were lucky we had them, not only as good ballplayers, but also for their never­ ending supply of humor on the field. Pat Bailey, home-run queen, provided many thrills with her excellent playing not only as a pitcher but as a shortstop, too.

The first of these contests was “rained out” as Hebron’s clay courts were not in condition. Practice continued with an inspiration of Mr. Goldthwait’s a ladder com­ petition. The ladder is a form of intramural matches. Late in the season the meet with Hebron materialized as the Maroon-andGray and the Green teams met on Kents Hill’s courts. We won all but one match.

From that time on rousing cheers might be heard on campus and, without doubt, for quite some distance beyond the bounds of campus as the girls practiced cheering and put that practice into effect at the many athletic contests. The cheering sections at this year’s football and basketball games were led by this group of all-girl cheerleaders whose captain was Jean Penta. The girls gave untiringly of their time and abilities —cheering loyally through the blazing sun of the Hebron game and the blasting wind of the game with St. Dominic School. Whether their enthusiasm came from school spirit, or from a personal interest in the team, the girls certainly deserve praise for their hard work this year.

We balance on the brink of fears Trembling, with the knowledge of our power; And Time, driven by the spheres A vast shadow moves, a year an hour! Forget the old, the stale, the dead, With singing souls rise and amend! On this proud world our minds are fed; Youth flames within us, a helper, and a friend. Who knows what honours wait him on the morrow? Who knows how much his life doth hold? This is no time for fool’s grief or sorrow Come swagger! Come laughter! Come youth! Make us bold! The downhill road of life will tempt us — So easy to travel, yet stumble we may; For that gained with ease soon becomes worthless. Go forward with courage and take the hard way. There’s not a joy the world can measure Like that so soon it steals The joy of youth, our prize! our treasure! Given to us, with its utmost appeal. Oh Memory, write your praise Of ancient glory and decay; ■Your image soon will have no phase To torture us, when past we cast away. Have faith in Life, in Self, in God; Faith soon your trembling fears will soothe. The past is dead Hearken to this word, Come, take this step thou sacred, glorious, Youth!

Here saints and seers and hopeful youth Commingle in the quest For life abundant and the power To be and do our best: Kents Hill, Kents Hill, the wonderful, What charm thy name recalls In vanished personalities Amid these stately halls. Here scholars breathed ambrosial air And tasted hallowed sweets While learning in these halls of light And mingling on these streets: Kents Hill, Kents Hill, though beautiful, A hidden power is thine By God’s good grace above all else, A spirit all divine. The fathers saw beyond The Hill, And we that vision share: To Heights Beyond they led the way With faith and courage rare: Kents Hill, Kents Hill, we will pursue That star in Yonder Sky That leads to service here below And honors God on High. 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 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Sawyer �CLASS HISTORY This item on our program is called the history, but it also has aspects al­ lied with other subjects in our curriculum. For instance, consider biology. All of you recall that certain lower forms of life multiply by division. Note here that this class, which in the fall of 1942 numbered fourteen, now graduates thirtythree strong. There are respects in which the history of every class is the same. Those obvious features I shall pass over and rather point out the various ways in which our little group is unique among Kents Hill classes. For instance, we are the first class to have entered under Mr. Dunn’s administration, and we can give to him whatever glory is due the one who has been our sole guide through the past four years. To continue speaking of statistics, m our first year the war manpower shortage cut down the football eleven to six men, whose strength was as the strength of ten at least. We cut a fine figure tiptoeing through the beets and turnips on Harvest Day. Two members were subtracted from the faculty in April, when Mr. Swett, our dean of boys, and Mr. Dennis were called by Uncle Sam to take orders instead of giving them at Kents Hill as they had done so well. By Commencement Day, 1943, some of our members had begun to stand out from the group by reason of individual achievement. On that occasion the award for the highest scholastic standing in the freshman class for the year was won by Russell Walters. An innovation in the school program in the fall of our sophomore year was the annual fall banquet in honor of all the workers connected in any way with the school. If all the guests of honor do as well as Ralph Lane does in preparing the banquet supper they receive their just desserts. borne of the highlights of the year were the publication of five issues of the revived Maroon and Gray, and the second annual trip of a group of boys to Mount Washington under the guidance of Mr, Goldthwait, our faculty geologist and outdoorsman extraordinary. Of all things the boys beat Winthrop at bas­ ketball! The girls so distinguished themselves that they made a trip all the way to the University of Maine to exhibit their hoop marksmanship. The fact that such a sport may be a game of chance as well as skill, however, is pro­ ved by the fact that in the faculty-student basketball game the faculty won. The Winter Carnival Ball climaxed a day of ski events and sleigh-riding, with Ernie Pentheny and Jay Northrup crowned rulers of all they surveyed. Twice during the winter season the young men from Camp Keyes were guests at school parties to the delight of the girls at least. In May our <annua] Spring Day found us hiking to Brown’s Point on Echo Lake, where we arrived . _ with -----1 no lack of appetite for a picnic supper. Some of us were still able to dance that evening in the dining> room. Once again June came in with Commencement exercises, during which the Reverend Cymbrid Hughes of Augusta delivered a memorable baccalaureate ser? mon. History and Russell Walters repeated themselves at Commencement when the latter won the highest award for scholarship in the class for the year. �In the fall of 1944 we returned to school as upperclassmen and Miss Rice returned as Mrs. Gordon. The girls opened the athletic season by picking po­ tatoes - training which enabled them to come through the field hockey season undefeated. The boys started out enthusiastically to form the first eleven-man football squad in three j ears. The practices became rock-slinging duels with manager Sid Kramer taking all honors. All the boys lacked to win games was an occas­ ional touchdown. The season should not be regarded as a total loss because of this deficiency, for, on account of the weather, the boys had lots of swimming practice on the field. In October the students enjoyed the second annual Country Fair sponsored by the Girls’ Athletic Association. The busy Christmas season was memorable for two events. One was the beautiful and inspiring Christmas Vesper Service in Torsey Memorial Church at which Dr. Drumm preached the sermon and the girls’ choir sang Christmas carols. The other was a program of three plays, ‘Right About Face’,*A Mess­ age from Khufu’, and ‘Antic Spring’, presented in the Newton Gymnasium under the direction of Miss Vivian Russell. During the snow season the ski team enjoyed speeding down the hill to Torsey Pond on the fine trail that the Outing Club had cleared in the fall. In the Winter Carnival held January 27 the Kents Hill boys won the ski meet. At the ball that evening Lew Mason and Jean Bunten were chosen king and queen. The boys’ ski team also won ski meets at Jay and Wilton, with Chuck Barr as the outstanding skier. Both boys and girls enjoyed an active basketball season. The boys played a thirteen game schedule - a fact that might seem significant to the super­ stitious. Their feelings were salved by a double victory over Richmond, which pleased everyone but Larry Bond. The spring dramatic production, ‘Second Fiddle', found Sidney Kramer playing second to none as the silent (!) butler. The great May blizzard failed to cool the enthusiasm of the cast, although it did postpone their rollicking performance for a week. The baseball season was somewhat dampened by the weather, with the boys playing seven out of eleven scheduled games and winning four. The girls’ softball team was undefeated, rain or no rain. The two athletic associations closed the season with a banquet apiece - the boys at Cates’ and the girls at the Augusta House. On June third we heard Dr. Drumm deliver the baccalaureate sermon, realiz­ ing wistfully that next year it would be delivered for us. At the graduation ex­ ercises, Charles Barr was awarded the Kreuger prize as the most all-around ju­ nior, and Sidney Kramer received highest scholastic honors for the junior year. �We started our senior year with six returning reacners and seven new ones whose acquaintance we were glad to make. The social season started on a perfect full day with a picnic for all the stu­ dents and faculty at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Cushman. Sports and a picnic lunch on the shore of Parker Pond made an enjoyable program for every­ one. The fall athletic program for the girls included, as usual, potato-picking and field hockey, both activities designed for the discovery of new muscles. The field hockey team, coached by Miss Barbara. Hall, came through its second sea­ son without a defeat. Seniors playing on the team were Mary Balestri, Dorothy Young, Daisy Welch, Carol Graham, Mary Johnson, Stevie Sawyer, Violet Peter­ son, and Elizabeth Giles. The Girls’ Athletic Association elected as officers Violet Peterson, Stevie Sawyer, and Mary Balestri. Two new football coaches, Mr. Vellante and Mr. Fiorillo, drilled the boys so effectively that they broke their record of tOo long standing and won a game. Senior members of the team were Charles Barr, Richard Elias, Charles Trueman, Russell Walters, Sanford Trefethen, Harry Richardson, Dermott McSorley, Har­ lan Luce, Philip Black, Randall Whitten. The Outing Club spent the beautiful autumn afternoons clearing the ski slope. The new International Relations Club was formed under the direction of Mr. Fiorillo, the history instructor. Officers of the organization were Dermott McSorley, Sidney Kramer, Carol Graham, and Charles Barr. Programs de­ signed to stimulate interest in current world affairs featured talks by guest speakers followed by general discussion. Those whom the club had the pri­ vilege of hearing were Mr. O’Flaherty, on the subject of Nazism, Dr. Raymond E. Blois, on the possibility of conflict between Russia and the United States, Mr. Richard Elias, on the effect of Nazism on European youth, and Dr. Maloof, on the Arab side of the Palestine question. I i I In October the Country Fair provided a colorful evening with the usual offer­ ing of games of skill to which was added the greatest possible attraction - facul­ ty members (Blois, Vellante, Fiorillo, and Dunn) who exposed themselves at in­ tervals as targets for beanbag-throwing students. Every flunky had his day. For several weeks in the fall feminine voices raised in chorus and masculine voices drawling southern dialogue were heard in rehearsal for the minstrel show which was presented December first. The directors were Miss Russell and Mr. Blois, the latter also serving as interlocutor. The black-faced boys were Char­ les Barr, Sidney Kramer, Gerald French, Weston Dow, Richard Elias, and Cur­ tis Dalton, with two ebony gals, Dorrice Stairs and Sallie Hamilton. On December 8 the girls had a chance to model their evening finery at the Christmas formal dance at which Ralph Lane's Crusaders furnished the music. The Boys Athletic Association sponsored the affair for which the decorations were in charge of Sidney Kramer, Charles Trueman, Donn Worth, and Paul W right. �The The Torsey Torsey Memorial Church was decorated with Christmas greens and can­ dles for the annual Christmas Vesper Service, which was presided over by Dr. dies J Drumm, with the choir, under the direction of Mrs. Audrey Gray, furnishing the musical program. The winter sports program included basketball, skiing, and, for the first time in several years, ice hockey on a fine new rink, with coaching by Mr. Dunn, This group of necessity made a slow start, but showed constant improvement - achievement than any number of easy victories. The and enthusiasm - a bettei 1 girls’ ski group practised on the slope near the Outing Club cabin under the of Miss Gilbert. The girls’ basketball was coached by Miss Hall SUjjpervision _____ _________ with four seniors, Mary Balestri, Dorothy Young, Carol Felch, and Ruth Addi­ son on the team. For the first time in three years, the boys’ basketball sea­ son included moTA more wins wins than than losses, losses, eight eight victories victories and and seven seven defeats. defeats, The team was ably coached by Mr. Vellante and Mr. Fiorillo. The Winter Carnival opened February first with a hockey game with Dixfield in the afternoon, and a double victory over Wilton in basketball in the evening. Saturday morning the ski team defeated Wilton. A hockey game in the afternoon and the Snow Ball in the evening completed the program. By student vote Patricia Lucas and Burton Finigan were proclaimed visiting royalty. Kents Hill Night at Readfield Grange featured the Girls' Glee Club, specialty, numbers, and a contredanse demonstration. In April senior class officers were elected as follows: Clement Narcisse, president; Medb McSorley, vice-president; Elizabeth Giles, secretary; Russell Wal­ ters, treasurer. The spring sports were just getting underway as we went to press. Baseball, coached by Mr. Vellante, found the following recruits among the seni­ ors: Charles Barr, Philip Black, Sidney Kramer, Harry Richardson, Charles Tru­ eman, Harlan Luce, David Turner. Track, coached by Mr. Fiorillo and Mr. Swett, attracted Dermott McSorley, Clemente Narcisse, Randall Whitten. Tennis, directed by Mr. Blois, was played by Phyllis Colbath, Carol Graham, Virginia McMichael, Medb McSorley. The usual senior activities were planned for Commencement Week, and now the picnic, the ball, the baccalaureate address, and the class of 1946 belong to history. �SENIOR CLASS Backrow: Charles Barr, Harlan Luce, Clement Narcisse, David Turner, Russell Walters, Harry Richardson, Randall Whitten, Richard Elias, Charles Trueman, Philip Black, Sidney Kramer, Dermott McSorley.

I, Mary Balestri, do leave my flirtatious abilities to Alice Quinn. I, Carol Graham, do bequeath my indecision about who-shall-be-the-Light-ofmy-Life-tomorrow to Marcia Fyfe.

I, Dottie Young, do leave my explosive temper to the nearest atomic bomb. I, Randall Whitten, do leave my big beak to my kid brother so that it will no longer get in the way of my love-life. We, Betty Giles and Daisy Welch, do leave our ability < ' " „ to split dates _ to_ Ginger 2__o_. Welch and Marian Luce, hoping that their boy friends will not always run out of gas as ours did. I, Russell Walters, do bequeath my ability to coin new phrases to Bob Stevens. I» Huck Luce, do leave my job as ftaxi driver for Readfield day-hops to my sister, who I hope will keep between the telephone poles. I, Dick Elias, do leave my profound knowledge of all subjects to the freshman whiz-kid, Leer-oy Flagg. I, Helen Louise Wright, leave my startled hair-do to Charlotte Parks, together with three hundred and sixty-six bottles of Slickum, which should, if used ec­ onomically, last her for a year and a day. �I, Elinor Megert, do bequeath my acquaintance witn every minister within a fifty-one mile radius of Portland to Charlie Flight in case he wants to get mar­ ried some day. We, the third floor senior boys, leave to our successors rubber-soled shoes so that they can tiptoe past Mr. Gordon’s door on Sunday morning in silence and safety. I, Stevie Sawyer, do leave my near-sightedness to the next girl who will occu­ py my seat in the front row of the movies every Saturday night; as for the boy who sits beside me, I won’t leave him for a minute longer than I have to. I, Alice Card, do leave my Maine accent to some good Mainiac, if any. I, Dermott McSorley, do leave my love-me-or-leave-me technique with the women to me encantas Cano, the Cubano. I, Medb McSorley, (the other one), do leave some of me, of whom there is too much, to my room-mate, Joy Cohen, of whom there is too little. I, Burton Galouch, do leave my quiet mien to Gaylord Boutilier, because you can’t have too much of a good thing. I, Ruth Addison, do bequeath my ability to go along with the gag to Shirley Pebbles who after dishing it out, I hope will be able to take it. I, Carol Felch, do leave my hours spent in solitary, that is, room detention, to the instigator of it all, Ray Van Tassel. I, Phil Black, do leave my seat in the back row of our ‘local Bijou’ to the next far-sighted couple fore-sighted enough to get there early. I, Dave Turner, do bequeath my pet hobby to Dick Murch who also likes to tease the girls. I, Doc Narcisse, do leave to Bill Post and Paul Wright permission to look for the weekends I lost in Lewiston, together with one stretcher and a box of aspirin. I, Barbara Wyman, leave the overland stage from Mount Vernon, daily, to our mutual relief. I, Virginia McMichael, do leave my room-mate, Joan Harrison, to Senorita Gilbert, who understands a Pennsylvanian in Dutch. I, Charles Trueman, bequeath my zip to the Talon Fastener Company, and to some tired turtle tottering toward the tape. I, Gundy Richardson, do leave my chapel racket-rousing job with three cheers, and bequeath my tomato-red face, reserved for such occasions, to the Camp­ bell soup ads. I �I, Violet Peterson, do leave my best skirt to someone who realizes that both in women's wear and wit brevity is the soul of It. This will, having been signed, sealed, and recorded this first day of June, in the year one thousand nine hundred and forty-six, we offer our names in testimony: I OUR SEal I �CLASS PROPHECY This gay little scene occurs approximately one quarter of a century from now .n the smoker at Kents Hill School, Kents Hill, Maine, One of the occupants of the room is deeply engrossed in the contents of a newspaper, From her concenttration comes the following conversation about the recent events as offered by the paper: I see here that Mary Hathaway, who is an instructor in the Readfield Primary School, has been committed to a neighboring house of correction on the charge of mistreating one of her pupils. And also have you heard some more astounding news? Stevie Sawyer, who, as you probably know, soon after her graduation assumed responsibility for the fin­ ancial success of Sawyer, Barker, and Company, has accepted a new position at Frank Allen’s place of business, and is selling Worcester-made suspenders. And did you know that the reason behind Stevie’s transferring to another company is that she was instrumental in causing the tragic bankruptcy which resulted in the dissolution of her entire company soon after she took charge of the business? ;■ ■ ■ And more scandal about Stevie I You remember, of course, the fellow she married? He went to Kents Hill, too, you remember. Well, up to a very short time ago he was a very good doctor with a fine reputation, but now it seems that he is serving a prison sentence as the result of a lawsuit pressed by a certain Mr. Fiorillo, once a member of the Kents Hill faculty. The doctor mistreated the Signor for an injury of long standing or - well - to his back with the result that he is listing severely to starboard. Other practitioners have since tried in vain to shift his cargo. Incidentally, there is more to this story than at first meets the eye. This damage dates back to the college days of Mary Balestri at Illinois, where Mary, the first female left tackle ever to play for Illinois, on a crowded field mistook Signor Fiorillo for one of her opponents, and in her usual enthusiastic manner, violently tackled him-, putting a permanent warp in his personality. For old times sake, the Signor preferred not to prefer charges. Encouraged by this success, Mary has entered the professional wrestling field with Dottie Young as her sparring partner. While we are on the subject of the world of sports you would no doubt be in­ terested in Sid Kramer’s thriving business. It seems that Sidney is racing mid­ get arttos up and down the grass plot in the middle of the Newburyport Turnpike and none other than good ole Ede Addison is the very competent manager of this enterprise. A short time ago a tight situation was created when Barbara Wyman and David Turner eloped in one of Sid's midget cars. In their swift take-off they were inter­ cepted by Charlie Trueman, the traffic cop, who overtook them. . .well, he was riding a motorcycle. . . well, they were not going so very fast . . . well, may­ be the car broke down. A slight difficulty arose, however, when it was dis­ covered that it was impossible to remove the happy couple from the car. This I �was finally done by the Walters, Barr, and Luce Manufacturing Company by means of an atomic device which they created for this emergency. I Another former Kents Hill student who has gone into show business is Elinor Megert. She is presenting the second public performance of her gala new pro­ duction, including the famous tattooed ladies, ‘Black Jack’ Card and ‘Wiggie’ Colbath. A short time ago Miss Megert presented the world premiere of her performance at Ma McSorley’s exclusive Musical Mousetrap. Medb has a rush­ ing business, with the bouncer, Doormat, the star of thw whole show, acting as the bum-rusher. I heard also that that lover of everything Irish, “Green Tie’ Galouch, had a bit of trouble there when the bouncer exercised his office. . and Galouch. Incidentally, the other day when I was in Melrose, Massachusetts, I saw a pair of very familiar and very vivid green trousers trudging along the street, together with someone with a very familiar walk. Do we have to tell them whom you were with, ‘Felchie’? Speaking of romance (and what else is there to talk about?), our eminent Fuller Brush salesman, Richard Elias, has shown the value of his training in that business by literally sweeping Virginia McMichael off her feet, thus demon­ strating the high quality of his product. Ah, Love! Ah love in broom! A local visitor to Boston Common reports having seen a bevy of southern gals weathering the northern gales on the swan boats. You-all should have heard their Maryland accents and seen the cute bows in their hair! The pompous captain of the fleet was none other than our old friend, Phil Black We know now that it was no hornpipe-dream that led us to think the Castine boy would some day become an admirable admiral. Phil may never get to salt water but he can enjoy being a big frog in a small pond. 4 I see here that Chester Gould has resigned as the creator of that comic strip character, Dick Tracey, who is now being made by Violet Peterson, otherwise known as ‘Gravel Gertie*. She has added a new character to the already colossal list of personalities of that strip in a certain sleek sheik, Narcisse, who in the last installment was riding a camel a mile for a smile from a harcm-scarum Syrian. Our absent-minded friend, Deacon Charles Trueman, stood before the mirror the other day for nearly three hours wondering where he had seen that face be­ fore, and then it all came back to him . . . Sanky Trefethen, who is now driving the most valuable car in town, most valuable since it is the oldest, says the antique will now run without a speedometer. He has his own methods for determining the rate of speed, At eleven miles an hour the headlights fall off; at seventeen miles an hour the windows fall out; at twenty-six miles an hour the doors fall in; if it goes thirty miles an hour - he’s dreaming; if it goes forty miles an hour- he wakes up. Randy vVhitten, First Class Technique-al Sergeant, while with the occupation forces in Japan chose his own occupation collecting souvenirs that would be attractive to himself and Wendy. He finally located twin geisha girls. With that the speaker folded the paper, saying, The Kents Hill boys always did have a line, but it takes the class of ‘46 to make the headlines. ■I I ■ �CLASS 0 ODE Now I must leave thee, Now I must from thee part; Always within my heart Memory will cling. I Campus so dear to me, Bell that rang merrily, All joys elude me now Since I must go. To him who wishes work No task will be too small, Our best we’ll give to all, No task too great. Dear school, we’ll honor thee, As to new lives we bow Sadly we look back now Though this we hail. Four years once seemed so long In scenes we loved so well, Now no return we’ll tell New paths to come. No time will ever change Friendships these years we knew; Loyalty each year grew. Bless dear Kents Hill!!
