THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE la publiahed at Kent’a Hill, Maii\c, oi\ tl\e firat of each month during the achool year, by the atudetyta of the ?lai(\e Wealeyan Seminary and Female College, under the aupetviaion of the Faculty. The aubacription price ia fifty cciyta a year, ten centa a copy. Entered at The Kent’a Hill Poat-officc .secor\4-cla.3-3 (natter. A class consisting of the editors of the Breeze, and of all others interested, has been formed for the purpose of conducting the paper along the lines explained in the preceding issue. This class meets every Monday evening at seven o'clock for discussion of all parts of the editorial work, from the writing of the articles to the corx rection of the proof. The method is to take up a single phase 25 �of the work at each meeting, to discuss types illustrative of what is required, and to draw from them the principles to be followed. Work of the kind discussed is then assigned to each member of the class to prepare and pass in for the inspection of the Editor-in-Chief before the next meeting, It is hoped in this way to make the Breeze-work of material value to the students generally, by giving them full opportunity to develop their ability as writers and to receive practice in all branches of magazine work. —E, M, A., '02, The Breeze has received with much regret the resignation of the Assistant Business Manager, Mr, William Loren Libby, '03, who is prevented by illness from returning to the Hill, To the assistant managership thus made vacant, and to the additional assistant managership not before filled, appointments are announced herewith: Mr, Roscoe Hiram Remick of the class of 1903, and Mr, Benjamin Wellington Bryant of the class of 1905, ■^'V The Breeze takes this opportunity to acknowledge the art contributions in this number s the cover-design by Miss Jessie E, Baker, *02, the initial “A" by Miss Lois Trefethen, the head-piece for Athletics by Mr, Willard J, Rand, the head-piece for Music Notes by Mr, Russell F, Conklin, '05, all of whom are taking work in the Art School; and the sketches of Yoshizawa O Toku San by Mr, Joseph C, Chase, '98, now an art student in Brooklyn, N, Y, —A. H, N, 26 f ■ �"CaleS Of SOWOohl. Like a breath from the Whispers ing Pines comes the new cook or Bowcoin tales. The covers design, a glimpse through the pines with the twin towers of old King's chapel in the distance, outlined in bold relief against the background of a crimson sunset's glow, cannot but awaken a thousand memories in the mind of every Bowdoin man. If the book's exterior promises good things within, a casual glance at its mechanically perfect pages gives intimation, and a perusal of its contents, confirmation, of the abundant fulfillment of the promise. The stories are written for the most part by men who have achieved success in the world of letters and political life, and their narrations are of more than passing interest to the general reader. To the Bowdoin alunv nus, their interest must be absorbing, so faithfully and so well do the Tales reflect the Bowdoin life and the Bowdoin spirit, —F. A. S., '03. 27 ��UJosbigawa ® Uoku San. TOKU SAN, a young Japanese girl, spent the summer on the Hill with Miss Mattie Russell, who is well known in our school. Yoshizawa O Toku San, for that is her full name, was for eight years in the Aoyama Girls' School in Aoyama, Japan. After her course there, she came to Herkimer, N. Y„ for the kindergarten training which she expects to use in missionary work on her return to Japan. Though she has been in this country only a few months, she is well able to converse in our language and has made a good beginning in the study of music. One evening in August, she, with her teacher, Miss Russell, gave some interesting scenes from Japanese life and showed us a large number of curios. No one who met her could fail to be impressed by her marked intelligence and sweet courtesy i and she has aroused in us all a deeper interest in her country and her people. We hope her life may be full of happiness and success. —Louise Sturdivant Chase, '02. 29 �1 IM i "Si WJR.^S^ The foot/ball season is now fairly under way. There is great enthusiasm, and the season bids fair to be successful in every respect, A number of games have already been ar/ ranged, with the prospect that several more will be added to the list in the near future. Notable among these is the game with E, M, C, S„ October 12, An indication of the general interest felt in contests between these two schools is shown by the fact that one of the city dailies recently devoted considera/ ble space to a review of past contests and the prospects in the one about to take place, With this and the other games to be played, the enthusiasm should be kept at white heat, Carl Roberson Green has been elected Captain of the team and will undoubtedly prove the right man in the right place. He is well known in foot/ball circles, having been captain of the Coburn team of last year, which was probably the strong/ est team Coburn has had in years, Here's success to MrGreen and his team. —E.

Immediately after the election of society officers, the students of the Seminary and College assembled in the gymnasium to welcome those for the first time in their midst and to enjoy a general good time. The four newly elected presidents received informally, and an order of five marches was then carried out. The new students were each in the care of some older student, and all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Music of the usual high standard was furnished by Professor Morse, Mr. Pettingill, and the Misses Chase, Baker, and Reed, —S. W. R., '04.

In his very first year at Cambridge he became very prominent in the life of the college. He was elected to office in the debating club of the freshman class, and was a member of his class base-ball team. His prestige secured for him a place as a member of Kappa Gamma Chi, In the succeeding years of his college course, Mr. Stickney devoted less time to athletics, but sports did not lose his active interest and aid. He was a member of the Harvard second nine. During his college course he gave the romance languages special attention, and was able to render valuable service to the authorities of the college when, in the summer of 1900, the Cuban teachers attended the Harvard Summer SchooL Now his special advanced studies will be of great value in his new field of labor, Mr, Stickney was business manager of the Harvard Illus^ trated Magazine, and made a complete success of that publican tion, Mr, Stickney's many friends congratulate him on his apx pointment and wish him the highest success in his work, —E A.

But as prose is not easilyquoted in this department, the space will be devoted to poetic selections, * I In the Wesleyan Lit. is found the following poem, entitled XTbe IPopagers. The waves roll long on the beach, And the foam leaps high on the shoal; The pines bend low and sigh Like the wail of a murdered soul. Now out through the surf runs the boat; Trim in on the sheet I make fasti Hark, how the wild gulls scream. We’re back to free life at last. Out through the white-capped waves, Scorning the danger there, With a shout of the wild, the free, Away from the land we bear. A crash—a leap of the foam, The good boat shivered, and we Go down to the soft white death, Still, still in the arms of the sea. s t I I 38 —Loren Palmer. * �I Here is a poem from the Harvard Illustrated Magazine that is very daintily conceivedi Gbe Sanbs of tbe Sea. The sands of the sea are many, love, And the waves of the sea are deep, And they toss the sand of the sea about, Hither and yon, and in and out, And they cut in twain the sedges stout That up through the waters creep. The sands of the sea are many, love, And the waves of the sea are deep, And I think with grief on the Now and Then, For never shall I come back again To peaceful lands and the towns of men, Though ever my sweet-heart weep. The sands of the sea are many, love, And a shroud for my last long sleep, For the doom of the ocean sweeps o’er me at last, And the clutch of the sea it hath caught me fast, But never my love for thee hath passed, Though the waves of the sea be deep. —R.

Buildings and Grounds.—The buildings are among the finest, and the grounds extensive and attractive. Sampson Hall is a well-ap­ pointed boarding-house, with rooms light and pleasant, and accom­ modating one hundred and twenty-five boarders. Bearce Hall is a large ana elegant seminary, containing recitation rooms, laboratories, reading-room, chapel, society halls, etc. Ricker Hall is an elegantly equipped structure, containing the gymnasium, library, art rooms, and the conservatory of music. Blethen Hall, which also stands upon the campus, is a beautiful home for the President. The value of the buildings and grounds is about §107,000. Endowment.—The invested funds of the institution amount to about 8120,000 and more will soon become available. The income from this source is about six thousand dollars annually. That is to say, students have given them each year, in the way of instruction, about six thousand dollars, besides the use of buildings, grounds, and equipments. Library and Reading Room.—The library contains over eight thousand bound volumes, and is sufficiently endowed to insure a uni­ form and healthy growth. Its contents are selected and arranged with a special view to the needs of students and teachers. The read­ ing-room is well-appointed and supplies the papers and periodicals of the day. Societies.—There are four literary societies, the Calliopean and Literati for gentlemen and the Adelphian and Eromathean for Ladies. Each society holds a private meeting on Friday evenings, and one public meeting each term. Each occupies a beautiful and elegantly furnished hall, of which it has exclusive possession and control. Variety of Work.—It will be noticed, from the preceding page that a great variety of work is done. This affords wide opportunity for selection, while at the same time contact with those of different tastes and pursuits is favorable to symmetry of development. EXPENSES. The Institution was founded by benevolent mon, to enablo young people of small means to obtain an education; and It has never lost sight of that object. Its extensive appliances and large endowments enable It to furnish a high grade of Instruction at a comparatively low cost. While students of means And oppor­ tunity to expend more liberally, those of limited resources are able to live eco­ nomically. Boarding In clubs, self boarding, and self-help make It possible to re­ duce expenses to tho lowest reasonable figure. No young person of tact and en. crgy,'t may be safely said, need fail of an education through lack of means.

On the other hand is the humble student, endowed with an imagination in the opposite direction. Imag­ ining that all eyes are upon him, and that all minds are ready to criticise any flaw in his work, he hesitates in all that he undertakes. Often little things which come in his way, and which, if seized with the determination of making the most of them would be of great profit, are allowed to slip away. The person whose imagi­ nation is not concentrated upon himself, but who bends it in the direction of great thoughts, may well be admired by all. Hobbs has studied for some time under the best artists of Boston, and comes to us well fitted for her work. We feel fortunate in securing such a teacher. We are indeed proud of our teachers and only regret that they do not receive the recom­ pense due their labors We would not neglect to mention the change in stewards. Mr. Pierce, who was here for three years, has left us and Mr. Norcross takes his place. While we were sorry to lose our former steward we welcome the new one. WHERE IS THE STEAM HEATING? O INCE the last Breeze was issued there have been many changes here. The class of ’91, with whom we associated, have left us for the stern realities of life, and many new students have come in to take their places. We notice quite a change in the Faculty. We regret deeply to lose Professor Strong, who has labored so long for us, but wish him success in his new field, and congratulate the high school at Westfield, Mass., in securing such a teacher for its Scientific Department. We also miss Miss Meyers, whom duty called to her parents. She will ever be remembered as a friend to those who knew her. Although Miss Beede was here but one term, she gained many friends aud was much liked by those who became acquainted with her. She has been traveling in Europe for the last three months, and as she returns to this country we wish her only the best of success in whatever work she undertakes. While feeling the loss of our teachers who have left us, we are glad to welcome the new members of the Faculty, and hope to do this not only in words but in actions. Professor Taylor, who takes Professor Strong’s place, is a graduate of Wesleyan and has been in the electric light business for several years. We find him very pleasant and all wish him success. Professor Caldwell, Colby, ’91, is a descend­ ant of the first principal at Kent’s Hill, and takes the place vacated by Professor Tasker. He has already’ won many friends and we predict the best of success for him. The Art Department is under the direction of Miss M. L. Hobbs, of Salem, Mass. Miss HIS is a very pertinent question, and one which the students and friends of the school have a right to ask. Last June the trustees decided that steam heating for Sampson Hall had become a necessity. Accordingly a commit­ tee of their number was appointed to take the matter in charge aud report at the adjourned meeting of the trustees in July, with a view to putting in the plant during the summer vaca­ tion. As a considerable part of the cost of this enterprise must be met by subscriptions, the alumni, at their annual meeting on Commence­ ment week, voted to co-operate with the trustees, and raise §1,000 from their number. For this purpose a committee of the alumni was appointed ; and this committee set about the business of col­ lecting funds in real earnest. Their plan was essentially this: to ask the alumni to furnish the radiators necessary for the heating in Sampson Hall. The matter was presented at the alumni dinner, and the responsibility of collecting money for sixteen radiators was assumed. When the trustees met in July, however, it seemed necessary for several reasons, but es­ pecially on account of the short time before the opening of the fall term, to postpone the heating by steam till next year. So the whole matter was re-committed to the committee of the trustees, with the understanding that this commit­ tee employ an architect and secure plans for the building and also obtain bids for the work of putting in the steam plant. The report of the committee will be presented either at a special meeting of the trustees, called for that purpose, or at the annual meeting in June. The intention is to have all the necessary arrangements com­ pleted before the next Commencement, in order �THE KENT'S HILL BREEZE. i II ...

The programme was as follows : “The neighing steed, the trumpet’s blast, The din and strife are o’er.” While the rest of the party were strolling through the cemetery, Davies and the writer hastened to the Home to hear the noon concert by the National Home Military Band. This band, under the instruction of Prof. B. W. Thieme, is probably the best in the State. Join­ ing our party after the concert, we strolled out past Governor Stevenson’s fine residence to the deer park. The two bear cubs attract our atten­ tion for a moment, and theu with one accord we pay the monkey a visit. We have no sweet­ meats, so Wood pulls out a piece of chewingwax and gives a piece to his monkeyship. The monkey chews and the Seniors laugh. The efforts that monkey made to sufficiently masti­ cate that chewing-gum would have brought tears from the Goddess of Liberty. There were thirty deer in the park, and, after admiring them for several minutes, we prepare to leave. As we go out the gatekeeper says, “ This is the prettiest party of ladies that has visited us during the summer.” That man not only displayed good judgment and an eye for beauty, but he got tipped by Woodman, Foster, and other wealthy Seniors. The boys were afterward told that this was the best-behaved party that had been to the Home for two years.

At 5 o’clock the party starts for home, arriving at Augusta at G.30. A few moments later we were on the big cart, checked for Kent’s Hill. We stopped munching sandwiches long enough to salute with our yell Hon. J. Manchester Haynes’s fine residence on Western Avenue.

Bat by the next afternoon she had not only her dislike of the work to contend with, but that most hope­ withering of all ailments — homesickness — had taken complete possession of her and she was no longer her own master. What was to be done? She declared she was going home, yet there was not enough ready money among us to purchase a ticket. There was a check in reserve, but we had no one to identify us. Surelj’ there was no alternative but to pawn her watch. This we intended to do, but in the meantime we secured, otherwise, a few dollars, so that we were euabled to procure the ticket. She left us at 9 r.M. A little later you might have seen two rather quiet girls walk­ ing to Drummond Street, for they had not quite enough money to ride. Leaving you to surmise what may have been our fate, during the remain­ der of our stay (nine weeks), we will proceed to tell you what we sawr and learned of Montreal. It is situated on a triangular shaped island, of the same name, surrounded by the St. Law­ rence and Ottawa rivers. The two rivers unite at the eastern point of the triangle, and flow through the same channel. The waters, how­ ever, do not intermingle, but remain visibly separate. The city has a population of more than 186,000. Over one-half arc of French de­ scent, and about two-thirds are Roman Catholics. The principal attraction of Montreal is its churches, which number about seventy-seven. St. Peter’s cathedral demands first attention. It is patterned after St. Peter’s at Rome, of which it is about half the dimensions. The church has been building since 1868, and it will require about a quarter of a century longer to complete it. The cathedral of Notre Dame, patterned after that renowned edifice in Paris, is the most beau­ tiful church in the city. It is said the church cost over §6,000,000. Much of the ornament is of gold. There are many of those dark, life-like, sacred paintings, which appeal so strongly to the emotions, also a number of beautiful and valuable pieces of statuary. One piece particu­ larly attracted our attention : our Lord on the cross, the wounds in his body, and the blood oozing from them, the expression of agony de­ picted on his whole countenance, enhanced by the dim cathedral light, faces one almost as real. There are two towers on the church, 227 feet high. In one are ten large bells, chimes ; in the other is the Bourbon bell, the largest in America. It weighs 24,000 lbs. It requires eighteen men to ring these bells at once. A small party of us went up in the tower one day. We ascended in the elevator and received no little attention from the one in charge. One of the girls remarked, “He wants to be tipped;” another, “ Let him want.” When we stepped on the landing below he remarked, “Twenty-five apiece, please.” Another notable attraction is Mount Royal Park, on the top of Mount Royal. The ascent is made by an inclined plane. There is an observatoiy in the park, from which, it is said, one can see one hundred and twenty miles down the river. The cemeteries also are on Mount Royal. Victoria bridge is a curiosity. It is made of twenty-five iron tubes. An interesting fact regarding it is that thirty thousand tons of nails were used in its construction. There are several libraries in the city, an art museum, and an extensive museum connected with McGill College. A large portion of the population of the city are of English origin and maintain English cus­ toms. There is very little association between the French and English, the former being too liberal for English conservatism. The French have intermingled somewhat with the Indians, and the language they speak is a confusion of French and Indian dialects. We might continue to tell you much about the habits and customs of the people, but our Breeze will not waft too much chaff. One of the Adventurers. WHAT WE DID AT OUR REUNION. NE who knows anything of Kent’s Hill students would never have mistaken the company hurrying along Commercial Street, Port­ land, Tuesday morning, July 21st, dodging the drops of rain, laughing merrily, and keeping up a lively conversation. The occasion was the first annual reunion of the class of ’89. As one of that favored number I will try to give the readers of the Breeze some idea of how we passed the time. Amid talking, jesting, and story-telling, we soon came in sight of the �THE KENT'S HILL BREEZE. i 7 steamboat landing where South Freeport’s beau- ' society, were some of the items filling out our tiful little steamer, the Phantom, was already bill of happiness.

Professor Caldwell (to student in analysis) — “ What will you be when you graduate from this school?” Mr. D.—“I shall be an alumna." Professor (to Miss L.)—“Is that correct?” Miss L.—“No; he will be an alumni." Evi­ dently she would have him be a host in himself. The position our best business colleges are tak­ ing against the old method of increasing their attendance by agreeing to find places for all their graduates is indeed praiseworthy. No school can honestly do this, and business men in want of help are slow to apply to a school that has entered into such a compact with its stu­ dents. The annual report made to- the trustees last Commencement showed a gain over the previous year of 33} per cent, in the number of different students. This is very gratifying from the fact that students are beginning to see that not only business men but everybody ought to know how to write a plain hand, to open and close a set of books, to reckon accurately and rapidly, to avoid litigation through a thorough knowledge of commercial law. We have been pleased to receive visits, although brief, from the following former stu­ dents : Messrs. L. R. Gibbs, F. E. Russel, C. H. Tilton, A. E. Nickerson, J. H. Underwood, Dutton, J. O. Newton, W. C. Akers, W. C. �THE KENT'S HILL BREEZE. Perry, A. H.

Lyford, who formerly had charge of the Commercial Department. It was in the Anabasis class. Professor Trefethen closed his lecture with these words: “Now, boys, if you ever find the article with the word Raurdeus 1 will treat.” In the Anabasis class, a few days later, Puffer’s hand went up and Professor said, “Well, Mr. Puffer.” Mr. Puffer said, “Didn’t you say that you would treat us if we ever found the article with “ Well, here it is,” said Rankin;?” “ Yes.” Puffer, and sure enough he had found it and Professor Trefethen was sold for the first time. He treatedffj. The sociable given by the Ladies’ Circle and Missionary Society, September 16th, was a very pleasant affair. Miss Vail gave a solo, with guitar accompaniment by Misses Eastman, A. and L,, which was pleasing to all. Later Miss Stone presented familiar volumes from the library. The titles of the books were personified by students and were guessed by representatives from the Senior, Junior, and under classes. Some of the volumes presented showed ingenuity on the part of the one who thought of them, and true Yankee spirit in the one guessing. When accounts were balanced it was found that Mr. Swett, one of the Senior representatives, had won. His prize, “Paradise Lost,” (pair of dice lost), will be a very suggestive souvenir. The Seniors then took the opportunity of introducing their new yell: Willi-ga Walla-ga Wolla-ga Woo, Willi-ga Walla-ga Wolla-ga Woo, ’Rah! ’Rah! Kent’s Hill, Kent’s Hill, ’Ninety-two. When so much is being said about souvenir spoons, one would naturally ask where they were first seen. The idea originated in Europe, but to an unknown jeweler in Salem, Mass., belongs the credit of having made the first one iu this country. Knowing that his town and witchcraft were closely linked together in Puritanic days, he stamped a witch, broom, high hat, and all, upon the handle of his spoon; and just below the figure of the witch were three crossed pins, the “ pins of torment.” Shortly after this a New York jeweler got out a spoon with a little 9 statuette of Peter Stuyvesant, wooden leg and all, upon the handle. This idea spread to other towns and now there are over 500 different designs sold, and new ones coming out every week. Kent’s Hill is not without her souvenir spoon, for Mr. McNear has made a very unique little spoon, with Bearce Hall engraved on the handle. Those wishing a souvenir of Kent’s Hill will find this just the thing. See advertise­ ment for particulars. At chapel, September 21st, President made a speech that would have done credit to TFe&ster. The subject was: What day should be Holden as a holiday? At once motions were given at Goodspeed and Wednesday afternoon decided upon. In the morning Fogg gave signs of a Poor day, but the Keen sun soon Pierced the mist. Mr. Cunningham was obliged to Cram, as Jfoor room was wanted in his team. All went well and the students arrived at the fair ground without Hastings, where the Kent’s Hill yell was given. Then they proceed to enjoy themselves. At one of the stalls was a fine Flora of wax flowers, some Ruby ones placed LuceXy among Green leaves, looked fine. Many students availed themselves of so fine an opportunity for purchasing. Next they Dodged into the grand stand and beheld the horses fastened into all sorts of Crafts. Belles were numerous, since it was hard Pullen under the wire at the same time. As the shades of twilight gathered, they started for the Hill, the least 117u’t tired, where they arrived before the doors were Locked without the aid of a Smith. It is quite a common occurrence for members of our Faculty to spend vacation time in doing special work in their departments. This summer Miss Davis and Miss Stone attended the Martha’s Vineyard Summer Institute, the oldest and largest of the numerous summer schools now in existence. Miss Davis took not only the advanced class work but private lessons also in both French and German. She speaks in highest terms of her teachers, who were from the Berlitz School; and Miss Stone says that the professors used just the same terms in speaking of Miss Davis’s work. Miss Stone took the course in Methods. She says that she was pleasantly dis­ appointed with the work and that it was thoroughly enjoyable and of much practical value. Ou leaving the summer school, Miss Stone went directly to Fryeburg, Me., where she �10 THE KENT'S HILL BREEZE. had an opportunity to put many of her new ideas into practice, as she had charge of the Sunday-School Department at the Chautauqua Assembly held there.

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

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

I had no notice of her being in any trouble at school untu the evening of May 23, at twelve o’clock. At midnight my third daughter, Chestina, arrived home in a state of extreme excitement, and informed me of the case, and that L. had left the Hill, in an awful state of mind, and gone towards Lewiston. I was informed that she was accused of taking things not belonging to her. Subsequently I had a specification of these charges from the pen of Dr. T. himself. In a letter to me dated June 30, 1866, he says : “ The facts, I believe, are these: Louise sent, at different times, bundles of clothing to the wash, from which were taken by the wash-girl five articles of clothing not hers. . In her room were found nine or ten articles, some of them marked, and some of them not having been sent to the wash, — some of them belonging out of the building. Before they were shown her, she denied she bad such articles in her room. The money she took and put out of her hands at once. For three years she had kept a skeleton key opening all of the students’ rooms.” Prof. Robinson, in a letter dated November 12, 1866, makes the follow­ ing statement: “ The facts in the case are these : after as private an inves­ tigation as possible, Miss Greene acknowledged that she had taken several articles that did not belong to her ; also, that she had taken money from one of the young ladies; also, that she had had in her possession, for two years, a false key, which would open most all the students’ rooms in the college.” The public now have before them all the charges made against my •daughter by the authorities of the institution at Kent’s Hill, in the lan­ guage of the president, and one other member of the faculty. It will be noticed that the first was written to me, at a time when it seemed possible that my daughter was yet alive, while the latter was written to another person, after it was known that L.’s tongue was forever silent. It is a bold and positive statement, not qualified by an “ I believe,” of which, in its proper place, I will take further notice before I have done. These charges have been reiterated and circulated, and, in their circula­ tion, have been magnified and put in their worst possible fornj, until a por­ tion of the community have been led to the conclusion that her character was truly so infamous, that her friends’ mouths were so completely closed, that they dare not appear before the public in her defence. Certain talka­ tive persons have said: “Mi’. Greene dare not make a statement of her k �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. & case to the public.” Even certain Methodist clergymen, as I am informed, have alluded to this matter in their churches, reiterating Dr T.’s fourteen or fifteen counts.against L., evidently with prejudice against the deceased, or to clear Dr. T. and the faculty from censure. The misconstruction put upon the language of L.’s letter to her class, — brief extracts only being given to the public, — the misquotation of her let­ ter, and other damaging insinuations and acts, have determined me to lay that letter, and some others, before the public, tLat public opinion may have some more reliable base than incorrect rumors, or pretended and prejudiced quotations. It is not that I seek controversy, or would willingly enter the arena be­ fore the public uncalled by duty; but that I seek at the tribunal of public opinion that justice to my loved, lost, and unfortunate child which was de­ nied her elsewhere; and I feel confident that, before this Superior Bench, though the heavens fall, it will be awarded her, however high in community may stand those who would deny her it. You will bear with me patiently, kind readers, when you consider that almost all the direct and important testimony in this sad case is in the pos­ session of those whose fame and interest might require that its dark feat­ ures should be withheld from public gaze; and that she who was the re­ cipient of the wrong — if wrong was done her — now sleeps in death. Iler silent tongue can make no reply, nor testify as to what grating or burning words crushed her hopes, broke her heart, distracted her brain, and severed her ties to life forever. You will be aware that I shall be under the necessity of going over much ground to get at the circumstances and facts bearing on this case, in order to give the public a proper understanding of the whole affair. As to the character of Louise, I cannot, perhaps, better express my views, knowledge, and opinion, than to repeat what we said to Dr. T. at a faculty meeting, at which myself .and wife were present, one week after L. left the Hill. In answer to the charges there brought against her we said: “ We do knoto that a more honest, upright, and truthful girl than was L., when she came here, never came under your care. She was strictly honest from a child ; aud if she is now dishonest you have made her so. She has been under your eare and control three-fourths of the time for five years past, and you are, in a great measure, responsible for her character.” Dr. T., in the course of the conversation that day, told us that hitherto our daughter’s character had been irreproachable. Miss Case, the precep­ tress, told me, in substance, the same, on the second day’ after L. left. She said, in substance, that no suspicion had ever rested on L., and that J �r: 10 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. she would as soon have thought of any one of the teachers being suspected as she. Mr. and Mrs. Daggett, each, distinctly, made similar statements as to her good character and standing up to Monday night,. May 21st, two days only before she left. I have noticed that, while none of those who first accused L, of misdeeds, and examined into the matter, have ever de­ nied the truth of the statement made to me respecting her former good character, the “ facts ” of her misdeeds are brought prominently before the public on every opportune occasion ; and this other important fact, to the benefit of which she was and her memory is entitled, is not even alluded to To show the truthfulness of the statements just alluded to, respecting her good character, I will lay before the reader a few certificates from those with whom she boarded while teaching five terms of school, one yearly, at each vacation while attending college. It will be readily seen that few, ex­ cept her parents, could have a better opportunity than they of ascertaining her true character.

I will here state that in the year 1849 I became a resident, and went into trade in the town of Peru, my place being central in the town, and but a few rods from the house where the town meetings are holden. I have kept the central post-office of Peru all of the time since I moved into tliis town. Having no boys to assist me, and L. being naturally active and expert with the pen, when at home, was much in the store, assisting me in the post-office, and in waiting on customers, frequently having the whole care and charge in my absence,— thereby becoming acquainted with a great portion of the citizens of the town. To show the tone of public opinion in her own town, where she has been known from her childhood, I will introduce to the public a certificate of promiuent citizens of Peru, who, from the circumstances just named, have had good opportunities of knowing the character of Louise, and they well understand the sentiments and feelings of the people generally in this vicinity concerning her. These are citizens who have held places of honor and trust in tliis town, within a few years past, and many of them are well known to the public. CERTIFICATE OF PROMINENT CITIZENS OF PERU. “We, the undersigned, citizens of Peru, hereby certify that Miss M.

From personal acquaintance and public report, we knew her to be a girl of irreproachable and unblemished character, and of unsullied reputation. Her amiable disposition and affability of manners won for her general respect and esteem. She had the reputation of being an excellent and accomplished scholar, and a competent and successful teacher. Her truth­ fulness, honesty, integrity, virtue, and fidelity were never subjects of doubt or suspicion in this community. “Being naturally kind-hearted, and of a very sensitive temperament, she was generous and charitable, and a ready sympathizer with suffering humanity. “ While we freely and unhesitatingly bear’ testimony to the virtue and good character of this lamented young lady, justice to her memory impels us to say, that in our opinion, whatever unfortunate circumstance or occur­ rence might have operated, directly or indirectly, as the primary cause of her untimely end, it was not her fault or crime, but her misfortune. 1 �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 15 “ Town Officer for 1866.

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

I am glad you speak freely your opinions. This afternoon 1 attended a prayer-meeting, but, very different from yours at Kent’s Hill. A holy feeling seemed to pervade all. Such mild, sweet expressions’ These are meetings one cares to attend voluntarily. Ao one c’unitbn? my motives! Many of those who were friends of the institution mill not be so now.” In a letter to me, of a later date, this same student says: -The govern­ ment at Kent’s Hill is different from that of any school I ever attended or visited. I understand, from several persons who have been teachers for years, that the government is as was practised years ago. It resembles an absolute monarchy, the president being the sovereign. What respect I had for Dr. Torsey vanished at the cruel treatment of your daughter. Ever.' person to whom I have spoken of the unhappy occnrre-ee considl-rs treatment unjust and inhuman, in not keeping it among the teachers, tut spreading it immediately among the scholars. You h-re all car sym­ pathy in your terrible loss. Even strangers shed, tears f r you. A retfsssor in one of our schools told me he did not believe there was such mt re-count on record. Words fail to tell you how I feel for yen. But remember God has said, ‘-Vengeance is mine.’ ” Several other letters from students to L. are in the sums tone, and express the same opinions as above. From facts and ct-rw—srar. res that ht~e been shown, I leave the public to judge whether there had not existed, between L. and Dr. T.. a prejudice, some years refers, if not cherished up to the time she left. When I charged him with sueh prejudice at the faculty meeting, he did not deny it, but virtually admitted it by say­ ing that '••he and L. had ‘made up’ about a year before.’' Seme of the students cn the Hill knew that such prejudice existed, and ems cf them, -hr was there in May. ISre. said, not long since. “It was unforttmxte, in this anair. for Dr. Torsey that it was known ho was prejudtredk* As to the - making up ” of which he spoke, 1 cun find no intimation, ef it in her —-'-—ys. er anything she has ever told her fr'etuis. The history of the interview at Miss H.’s room, which I have egtoted entire, appears under date of April 11. ISwhich was a little mere than a y ear before the time p-. T. made the statement just alluded t.\ As vreblrg else, in her Letters er writings, appears, relative to any renversatien they be.d with eaeb ether t •.reh't r the ttt.'.tter of variance between there, this i tte..-le- smd lecture �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 33 must, I think, be the “malting up” referred to. I leave for the reader to say how far such insinuations, such opening of old wounds, such renewal of threats as were exhibited at this interview, could be understood to mean reconciliation of differences, dropping old prejudices, and “ making up.” It is evident from what she said and left in writing that she did not so understand it, but rather as a new attack, a fresh display of active hostility. I have given my readers a brief view of some of the occurrences that took place, — a few specimens of the treatment L. received, and the dispo­ sition manifested towards her prior to the distressing events of May, I860, in order that they may better understand the condition of things at that time, and the reason of my views and feelings. I will now pursue the sad rehearsal of what afterwards transpired. On the 23d day of May, at ten o’clock in the forenoon, Louise took the stage for East Readfield ; thence the cars to Lewiston. At twelve o’clock, the same night, my daughter, Chestina, and a young man, Mr. Chandler, arrived at my house, and told us the heart-rending story, — how and why L. left, as told them by Dr. T., Miss Case, and Mrs. Daggett. Miss Case and Mrs. Daggett, the “matron,” or steward’s wife, were the two persons who went into the first investigation ; Mr. Daggett being called in to assist at a later period in the affair. After examination, all was reported to Dr. T. But it is reasonable to presume, he directed the whole movement; or, at least, that he did know, or ought to have knowu, all about it. Now, as to the result of that investigation, what was the report which these pro­ fessed lovers of truth, mercy, and Christianity made such haste to publish to the students, to the whole school and community, against one they had known so long? against one they had never suspected before, and whose character hitherto had been irreproachable, and stood as high and fair as their own ? What was this report against one who had made a profession of religion, — a sister in Christ, or at least a sister in the common family of mankind? Why were what they discovered as faults or misdeeds exaggerated and spread, as it were, broadcast over the Hill, in less than twenty-four hours after the discovery, and she denied the least mercy or forbearance, or the most flimsy mantle of charity? Chestina said to me : “ They say Louise had her trunk and drawers full of marked and unmarked clothing, not her own.” Mr. Chandler, the student who came home with her, said, “ That is the report on the Hill; also, that she had taken five dollars, and had confessed it.” “ It was the general belief on the Hill,” he added, “ that she was deranged.” He also expressed his fears for her safety. Before I close, I ■will give the reader 3 �La r 34 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. some more means of judging whether or not this report was fully true; but, whether true or false, what was the necessity of this haste, and what was the disposition and feeling manifested in making it public property so soon? On receiving notice of these reports, and that L. had so suddenly left the Hill, in her every-day clothing, — not taking her trunk with her, or any clothes, except what she wore; and that she had removed from her person her class ring and all other valuable things, — we felt terribly alarmed as to her fate. Mrs. Greene and I both expressed our fears, and said that the chance was more than even, that she would be dead before I could reach Lewiston. I made all haste to proceed there; and soon Chestina and I were ready to start. She, poor girl, all in tears, solicited .the privi­ lege of accompanying me on this sad and afflicting occasion, and sharing with me the grief and anxiety of this undertaking. She had come by team from Kent’s Hill to her home, a distance of twenty-five miles, after six o’clock in the evening, and had slept none that night. We arrived at Lewiston, by team, a distance of thirty-five miles, before ten o’clock next morning. There I made diligent search and extraordinary exertions to .find or trace my lost daughter, being assisted very kindly by the city marshal of Lewis­ ton, who promptly sent his deputy with his team; who drove hurriedly from one public place to another, to endeavor, if possible, to get some trace of her. Being unsuccessful in Lewiston, we passed over to the Elm House in Auburn, where we found she had been the day before ; and where she had there engaged a private room for two hours, which she occupied alone for about four hours. She said nothing to any one, asked for nothing, and kept her face closely veiled when she a ne in, while coming down from her room, and when she went out. She stopped about ten minutes in the parlor; sitting down, and looking out of the window, keeping her face veiled. The lady of the house, who came into the parlor about the same time, noticed that she bad been weeping, that her eyes were red, and that she appeared to be in great trouble. Not a word was spoken by either, and L. soon went slowly out; and was last seen going towards the Lewis­ ton bridge, a little after four o’clock p. ir. [My informant thinks about twenty minutes past four.] No persons have ever fully satisfied me that they saw her afterwards. As there were two letters written by her, evidently commenced in the ears while coming from Readfield, — one to her Sister Chestina, the other to her class, — I have no doubt that they were ' finished in that private room at the Elm House. Finding she could not write intelligibly in the cars, no doubt she sought this private room in which to write out her last communication to earthly friends. Theso �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 35 letters were postmarked, “ Lewiston, May 2-lth,” as they would have been if put in on the 23d. They would bear the date they left the office. Be­ lieving she did go to that office on Lisbon Street, I thought, if she had not left in the cars, it was very likely she was drowned in the canal or river below that office. When the next trains left, both that day and the next, I stationed Chestina at one depot, while I went to Lewiston depot, and rode over to Auburn at every train, to see if L. took any train from thence. Not finding any further'satisfactory trace of her, after riding and walking in all directions, we started out to Sabattisville factory, making diligent inquiry all the way to Webster, Wales, Monmouth, and Winthrop, arriving at Kent’s Hill on Saturday afternoon, May 25th. We went thither to see if any information respecting L. had reached the Hill; and also for the purpose of getting C.’s trunk of clothing, as she had no change of raiment, all having been left there. We there found the two letters to which I have alluded. As much has been said about these letters, both in private and in public, and as many have manifested a desire to know the exact and whole contents of her class letter, I will now lay before the public an exact transcript of that letter, word for word, and letter for letter. LETTER TO HER CLASS. “ At a Way Station, in the cars. “For the Class.— Schoolmates, — Once my own darlings (for I have no right to claim yon now), I wonld rather die by slow torture than write you this letter. But I feel it a duty. Who wrongs himself, wrongs his friends. God forgive me I but I believe there is no soul on earth that stands nearer the gates of utter despair than mine does at this moment. I have always said, ‘ A. man who will steal will lie, will do anything bad.’ “ Perhaps you will feel-so ; but, oh 1 do hear my story. Do not believe that through all these past years spent with you I have been acting a lie. As I live, I never touched a cent of money that was not my own, except this once. They tried to make mo account for all the little things that have been missed through the term; but I could not. I have not had them. A skeleton key, given me years ago, I had, that looked as though I might have used it wrongfully. God knows my heart! I never did. One other thing I did, — I have been in the habit of doing. When I came to the college I brought many unmarked clothes, some of them new ones. When I missed things from the wash, I took others (unmarked ones) from the table, and used them. They put this with that, and altogether it did look bad. But if my own garments had not come by the close of the term. �36 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. I should have left these where I got them, — in the wash. Now you know all. My distress is bitter enough; but the shame that I bring upon you, — upon home friends, — I cannot express it. 0 my darlings! my dar­ lings 1 I thought the parting would be hard enough two weeks from now; but this — I cannot even call you mine now I The greatest favor I can ask is, drop me from your remembrance, and some time — you cannot do it now, I know; but do, won’t you, some time forgive me? Forgive me ; for­ get me; pray do I I ask it in the name of all who have sinned and suffered, —in the name of my own bitter anguish, — in the name of all that I have been, or hoped to be, to you and with you. I do not know what tempted me. I went out to Miss Church’s room one evening, without any such thought in my heart. She was gone. Her table-drawer was open; her porte-monnaie, open too. Some satan, hidden in my heart, said, Take it; and before I could think, I stood again in 27. When it was done, I would fain have replaced it; but could not without discovery. The only thing I have to be glad of is, that I did not deny when asked. Everything that was asked me I told the truth'about, as near as I could in my distracted state of mind. This storm has only been gathering since yesterday. I tried to read my Bible last night, but could not. I don’t believe I shall ever pray again, except to say, Father, forgive me. And He will not hear. How, then, can I expect your pardon! If I could have had an opportunity to retrieve the past at the Hill, — if this thing had not been made public prop erty and common talk, — maybe there might have been a future for me , but now — I think maybe I am not exactly as I used to be while I write this ; for my head whirls, and I cannot seem to think, — to say what I am trying to say. Did you love me any? Do you love me any now? It seems as though my heart must have some assurance of this, or it will burst; and yet I know it cannot be. I could not go to see you this morn­ ing ; I did not dare ; and yet I could have died for one friendly hand-grasp, and thought it happiness to die. Will some of you call Mary Chapman into your room, and read her this? that is, if you think best. What I write here I put into your hands. I am not capable of saying what should be done with it. Decide for me. Act as you would have others do, if it were possible for you to be in this place. I can hear even now the thousand buzzing rumors flying over the Hill. O my God I what am I that I should have been left to do this thing? Dear girls, it may seem presumptuous in me now to ask a favor; but if you only could find it in your hearts to be kind to my sister, —my poor, poor sister, Ches.;—oh 1 if I could only pre­ vent her from being punished for my sins, I would bear my own bitterness alone. i �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 37 “ I do not know what will become of me. If I get home, do not do anything with this letter; if not, will you please send it to my mother before term closes. O mother I my mother! If it were your mother, girls, what should you say? what would you do? “ Mr. Scbwagerl said to me this morning, one sentence, ‘ Remember your Saviour.’ I have been saying it over all the way here. I thank him for saying that always. Mary Chapman, you tell him so; but I don’t know. The Saviour is an iron door, I think, to me,—shut, bolted. I' never realized before that my life was drifting into this downward current. I cannot think it was. I came to the top of a great precipice, did I not? and because I had been trying to walk alone on Kent’s Hill, I fell. Well if it had destroyed life with character; but it did not. “ I keep writing and writing because I can’t say the last word ; hut I must. “ I have read this over, or tried to, and it is not what I would say. I cannot write more; I cannot write again. I cannot even ask you to write to me. What could you say? I don’t want you to. “ My darlings I my darlings! this good-by is a thousand times more bitter than was the laying away of my dead. “Addies, Lydias, Sarahs, Mary, and Abby, — how good your names look to me I You have all been good to me. “ Good-by. “Louise.” My reader will pause, and reflect. If my daughter had been so wicked a girl as some would have you believe, — had been a thief, one who had by deception worked herself out of such scrapes, — would she have so frankly told the truth, when a denial might have saved her? Would she have said in that class letter, — would she, when she saw her disgrace and fall in the wretched light she did, have said: “ The only thing I have to be glad of is, that I did not deny when asked ” — and further said, “ I had been trying to walk alone on Kent’s Hill; I fell. Well if it had destroyed life with character; but it did not ” ? — preferring death to the disgrace of this small act of taking five dollars. She writes to her sister that this is the only thing that she feels herself guilty of. She further says : “If I could have had an opportunity to retrieve the past at the Hill. If this thing had not been made public property, and common talk, maybe there might have been a future for me ; but now,” — you see her feeling when she says “ but now,” — “ when T. tells me that the school know of it, when it is so public, and I have no chance to retrieve the past at the Hill, death is �■ 38 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. craved.” Do you believe she thought they had done right to thus early publish her confession to the school, and make it “public property, and common talk,” and then advise her to leave in disgrace, and thus prevent the possible chance of her doing one act, or having one day to try to retries e the past at the Hill ? Poor child! She knew of his prejudice, and their dispo­ sition to make the matter look bad, on the Hill, and also to disgrace her, else they would have kept her confession private; she knew they could have done so. I do not believe that I shall ever be able while I live to read this letter without shedding tears. And, when I think how that committee of stu­ dents did so unjustly and unfeelingly quote damaging sentences from this letter, to injure the character of the dead, and wound the feelings of the living, without giving any explanations therein contained, with evident intent to flatter those who were able to defend themselves, without a word in her favor, or a single syllable of regret for the death of an old student, — is more than I can tell, or they will ever be able to satisfactorily explain to me, if selfish motives were not the cause. And if any one will compare the evidence here produced, leaving out all arguments, they will see how little of what they say is a trid/fful account of this sad affair is left. One thing further I believe I ought to say, to show her love for, and determination to speak the truth, let the consequences be what they may. The reader will recollect, that, in her recorded account of T.’s lecture to her, April 11, 1865, in answer to his charge, “that there would be a great hubbub in the chapel, and she would be found looking in at the door,” she says, “ When I am suspected, you only have to ask, to know how far I am concerned. I never have lied myself out of a scrape, yet.” And here you see the truth of that statement verified, when asked about the money, although her character, her all, was at stake. She, knowing his threat, “ if she did anything that looked like a violation of any rule, she could expect but little forbearance from the faculty,” with her great fear that something would happen, for which Dr. T. would refuse to let her graduate ; he, as she believed him to be, her enemy, and a revengeful one, “ or he would not be watching me continually, and finding fault for such little things” (as she told her parent, when speaking of her fear that she should never graduate) ; yet, with all this, and her great desire to succeed at the exhibition, the crowning point of her ambition, it does not deter her in this awfbl trial from telling the truth, and not attempting to lie herself out of this trouble, although disgrace and death was the result. As she says in her class letter, “ Everything that was asked me I told the truth about, as near as I could in my distracted state of mind.” I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 39 * HER LETTER TO CHESTINA. “ In the cars, Wednesday, A. JI. “ My much loved but deeply wronged Sister, — In leaving you, as I have, I am sensible that there is in store for you mortification and a share of my disgrace. “ Dr. Torsey informed me this morning that I had better leave to-day; ‘ not expulsion,’ he said, ‘ we won’t call it that, but I advise you to go home.’ Practically, it amounts to the same thing, however. How I feel, God only knows ; you never can ; and my bitterest agony is for the dear ones at home, on whom must fall some share in this disgrace. Satan, or some evil spirit, must have led me into this. I f I know myself, it was not the true, real Louise Greene, that did this. She was trying to live an honest, womanly life; or, if she was, indeed, drifting into disgrace, she never realized it. I can feel myself guilty of but one crime, — the taking of five dollars from Miss Church. No other was alleged against me, but the having of those unmarked articles of clothing; and, as I live, I had no intention1 of stealing them. For every article I took, I had lost one in the wash, and put these on in their stead, expecting, before the term was done, to find my own. There was, in some sort, a necessity for this ; for instance: — I came to the college with three orfour good, whole drawers, — two pairs of which were new ones, —aud to-day, as I ride away, I have none. They were lost in the wash because unmarked. Was it so strange that I should put on others, also unmarked, in their stead ? I tell you this, that you may know what I have done, and why I did it. That five dollars is a mystery to me. I went on an errand into Miss Church’s room; in her stand drawer laid a partly open porte-mounaie. What possessed me to take the money I do not know; but I took it out. The moment they asked me about it I con­ fessed it. You know the skeleton key I have long had. That told against me ; but, after all, I do not think they believed I opened rooms with it, for the purpose of taking out things. I certainly never did. Now you know the whole story. It is probably travelling the Hill at this moment with a thou­ sand exaggerations. God pity me 1 I never thought to come to this. Do not tell any one anything in this. It willbe useless to try to stem the tide ; bend beneath it, or it will break you down. Say nothing of excuse or palliation. In my heart I feel that you will not say aught of condemnation. It is a great deal to ask ; perhaps you cannot do it now ; but some time will you not try to forgive me? Live down all this. It is no real disgrace to you, though it may seem so. Make friends with the teachers, and with the �1 'A 40 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. people of God; they will strengthen you. Jlere I think was my fault; I tried to stand on the Hill alone, and I fell. “ Louise.” The reader will notice that near the close of this letter Louise gives her sister this advice: “It will be useless to try to stem the tide ” (to try to stem all this prejudice of Dr. Torsey’s, — the faculty’s whole influence, which is all-powerful on Kent’s Hill, — she doubtless meant). “ Bend be­ neath or it will break you down. Say nothing of excuse or palliation; ” do not attempt to excuse or defend me; for if you do that, by inference if not by your arguments, you will blame the faculty, and their influence will be brought to bear on you, and “ it will break you down.” It will operate against you in a thousand ways, to injure, and finally (if you persist to defend me), it will destroy you. This is seen, and may properly be in­ ferred, from this short and hasty advice to her sister: “ Say nothing of excuse or palliation.” She had tried to walk alone, tried to maintain her right to think and act for herself; but she had found that by so doing she had incurred their displeasure; that her determination so to do, regardless of all his manoeuvring and threats, increased his prejudice, and in many ways injured her. She believed Torsey had become an enemy to her. Being so, he had injured her feelings, and troubled her in many ways (not easily explained), although she was right, and ought to have had her right of opinion to act unmolested. Yet she saw that policy dictated a different course; and her trying to “ stand alone” on her rights was bad for her, and was the cause which brought down their displeasure “ and little for­ bearance ” with her. Then she advises Chestina to avoid that, and make friends with the teachers, — her (Louise’s) enemies, their teachers, — and thus try to make “ your path up the hill of science smooth as a gravelled walk.” “ Make friends with the teachers, and with the people of God; they will strengthen you.”. She does not say she believed her teachers — her accusers and judges — to be such people. She did not mean to say that of Dr. T., I do not believe. “ Here I think was my fault. I'tried to stand on the Hill alone, and I fell.” These letters were heart-rending to me and my distressed family ; and it did ceem to me that they were enough to draw tears from the eyes of any whose heart was not callous to feelings of sympathy and sensibility, and ought to disarm forever that unforgiving spirit that never seems to realize that “ to err is human.” They are a frank and full confession; and by their tone, and succeeding occurrences, it is evident they were intended as her last communication �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 41 with friends. Iler friends l^lieve every word of them was true. The public will judge for themselves whether they were true or false, after read­ ing them carefully, together with such attendant facts, and circumstances as will hereafter be produced; and will also judge whether she did or not take too much blame on herself, and feel too keenly this, her first offence, the cause of which she could not comprehend. As some have referred to these letters to exonerate certain persons in high position from censure, by quoting her confession of guilt, without expressing a word of doubt of her truthfulness ou these points, I submit to the reader whether the whole contents of these letters are not equally entitled to credit, as much so as such parts as the designing’may select and endorse ; and whether those who so quote her confession ought not, in fairness, to give her the benefit of her explanation, and be estopped from denying the truth of such statements as are. in her favor. While at the Hill, picking up Chestina’s things, on the 25th of May, Miss Case sought me, and in her cold, icy manner commenced to console me in my sad and severe affliction. Knowing that Louise disliked her, for what I believed were good reasons, and believing she was prejudiced against L., I thought she might have assisted, under such feelings, in injuring my child, and in producing that wretched state of mind in which she was, and which finally destroyed her. I asked her if Dr. Torsey talked hard to L. She said she did not know what Dr. T. said to her. I then squarely asked her this question : “ Did you talk harshly to her?’’ She said, “I tried to impress upon her the enormity of the crime.” She continued, and said that “ she was surprised that L. did not feel worse, and break down, as she expected her to do; ” said “ L. shed no tears, until they opened a little fancy trunk ; that she then wept.” This is the substance of what was said in that conversation ; and “ I tried to impress upon her the enormity of the crime,” was the exact language used by that cold and unfeeling teacher. Never can I forget, while life lasts, the harsh and cruel course she said she took with my poor bewildered and distracted girl. That sentence, “ I tried to impress,” etc., grates upon my ear in memory, when I think of her we loved so well; and I know I am not mistaken in the words and exact language used on that occasion. She, in my opinion, has a large share of accountability, before God aud man, for the death of our child. A more cool, unfeeling person I never saw. This little fancy trunk alluded -to would hold only about a quart, and was made and given her by her dearly loved cousin, who died at my house a few years before, — one of the dead alluded to in her letter, where she speaks of “the laying away of my dead.” In this little trunk she kept �42 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. some small mementos of him, and no one wjis accustomed to open it but herself. This little “ keepsake,” it seems, could not be exempt from the penetrating search, which was made, while they were trying, as she says, “ to make her account for all the little things that had been missed through the term.” After dark, Saturday evening, May 25th, Chestina and I started for home, and did not arrive there till daylight on Sunday morning. I found my wife and children in a wretched, distressed condition ; for we had neither written, nor brought home any tidings of the dear lost one. Our hearts were nearly broken, being weighed down under the burden of our grief and disappoint­ ment. Although not sleeping any that night, in five hours my almost distracted wife and myself were on our way to Lewiston again. My wife had neither eaten nor drank anything while I had been absent. She looked the picture of anguish and despair. “You do not look as though you were able to go,” I said. “ I cannot stay at home,” she replied. “ I cannot stand this awful suspense. I must go.” We did go, in a severe and drenching storm of rain. We rode about in Auburn, Lewiston, and Webster ; then walked about the river, canals, and streets of Lewiston, inquiring as we went for some trace of our lost child. God only knows our sad and sorrowful walks, our anxiety, our suspense and excitement, until my poor wife was nearly exhausted. I could not prevail on her' to retire from the search, and rest, and leave me to continue it without her. She could eat nor sleep but little in such a state of mental anguish and excitement. When all hope of ever finding our daughter had nearly vanished, we started again towards Kent’s Hill, to get her trunk, see her diary, and to see if she bad not written something and left in her trunk, or clothing, whereby we might get some more light in the matter. We arrived on the Hill at eleven o’clock in the evening, as tired and distressed sufferers, perhaps, as ever visited that Hill. The next morning I called at Dr. Torsey’s, and told his wife that Mi's. Greene was on the Hill, and we wanted Dr. T., Miss Case, Mr. Daggett and wife, and as many of the faculty as he chose, to meet us at as early an hour as possible. He called the whole faculty together at his bouse, and informed us of the place of meeting. We repaired to his sitting-room, and found there present, Dr. Torsey, Professors Robinson, Morse, and Harriman, Miss Robinson, teacher in painting and drawing, Miss Grover, teacher of music, and Miss Case, the preceptress. I will now state the substance of a portion of the conversation that trans­ pired at that meeting. I may not give the precise language, verbatim, in all cages, but will give the ideas correctly. �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. i I i I > ■ 43 I asked Dr. T. why he had not sent for us or let us know about the trouble before L. left. He said “ he did not know she was going away.” I asked him about what she had done. He said “ he knew nothing about the clothing ; ” but he and Professor Robinson both said something about her having a skeleton key. Dr. T. also told us about her taking the five dollars in money. I asked him “ why he had not taken care of her, and sent for us ? ” He said “ she was of age, and he had no authority to do so, or right to control her.” (It brought to my mind a passage I have seen in a Book of ancient date: “ Am I my brother’s keeper?”) I said: “ You have controlled her by your petty rules for five years. She has been of age for a year past. You could control her while you chose, but when trouble came upon her, you abandoned her.” Having convincing evidence, in my own mind, that Dr. T. was strongly prejudiced against L., and believing that thence an unfavorable influence had extended to other members of the faculty in that direction, I charged him with being prejudiced against her, which he did not deny, but virtually admitted it by saying he and L. had made up about a year ago. I said : “ Being prejudiced, you could, perhaps, see little things in her, and call her to account, and annoy her much by your petty rules and your construction of them to her, while you would not notice them in a favorite.” lu the course of the interview Dr. Torsey said that “ L. was all broke down, and wept, and that he himself shed tears ; that she said she could not go home, — could not see us, and did not think we would receive her.” I then said : “ Where, in the name of Heaven, did you think my poor child would go, if she could not go home?” Mrs. Greene said: “ Why did you not send her to one of your rooms in your house, to your wife, and let her comfort her ? ” He replied that she was under censure, and it would not be proper to send her. to his wife. (We understood him to mean that it would disgrace Mrs. T.) Then continued Mrs. Greene : “ I had rather von w’ould have arrested her as a thief, if it was necessary to do so, in order to keep her, until we could have been sent for.” “ You would have had no need of that,” I ad­ ded ; “ if you had only told her she must take a private room with C., and you would look the matter over, and see what was best to be done, she would have done so ; and you might then have sent for us before you dis­ closed to her your intentions.” “ I told her,” said Dr. T., “ if she went to Lewiston, she must make arrangements with Chestina about going.” “ Then you did know,” said Mrs. G., “ that she was going away.” He said that “ L. said she sometimes went home by the way of Lewiston, or that she would go to Lewiston and write home, or send for us to meet her there.” “ You must have known her sensitive nature,” said Mrs. G., “ and �44 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. the effect so great a disappointment must haye upon her. You are an am­ bitious man, and you would not like to have your character, standing, and high hopes blasted for so small a matter as this five dollars; no, not for five thousand dollars. Do you not think our child’s hopes and ambi­ tion were not as great as yours? You could not have had her here these past five' years and not understand her nature. If you were an ignorant man I could' forgive you; but now I cannot forgive you. She had not much money, no trunk nor clothing with her, and she will be looked upon with suspicion at every turn. I do not believe she would be taken in any­ where ; and as she left her jewelry and best clothing, when she went away, I think she is dead.” As Mrs. G. made these remarks she looked the pic­ ture of utter despair. Dr. T. coolly replied : “Mrs. Greene, I think you need have no such fears.” Knowing what an old dress L. had worn away, Mrs. G. said : “ In two weeks she will be in rags. Where can she be?” “ Well,” said he, “ I think she has gone into some country town. Your daughter in rags, with her open and frank countenance, her lady-like man­ ners, would make friends anywhere; anybody would take her in.” “ Then she must find different people than you were here,” replied Mrs. G. “ You thought it would disgrace your wife to take her in foi’ a few hours, until you could send for us.” He made no reply. If he had not meant the mat­ ter as we understood it, I think he would have explained. Yes; this (heartless, shall I say?) man could tell my poor and almost distracted wife, in such an hour, and under such circumstances, that stran­ gers would take her child in, while he, who had known her so long and well, and who, we had a right to expect, would be her guardian and protector, at that “ safe and pleasant home ” promised her, would not take her into his house till we had been notified of the difficulty, which .would have re­ quired but a few hours, — could not keep her a few hours, it seems, until he could return her to the keeping of the safe hands from which he received her. As Mrs. Greene was coming down on him rather closely in questions and argument, in order to nonplus her, as it seemed to us, and break her ar­ gument and close questionings, he suddenly said: “ You have lost a child lately?” Mrs. G. was sitting directly facing him, clad in deep mourning, and he knew all about our losing our youngest child, seven years old, only a few months before, as our two girls were sent for, who were at his school, to go home to the funeral; and he must have known, also, that Mrs. G. took the death of this child extremely hard, and that fears were enter­ tained that her mental powers would give way under the shock. Henoc, I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 45 probably, this attempt to wound her feelings, and divert her from the im­ mediate question, and stop her argument or confuse her, by calling np a subject on which her mind had been severely exercised. Once, in the course of the conversation, he stamped upon the floor, thus trying to stop us and stamp us down in that way. He seemed very anxious to know what we were going to say outside about this affair. Now, kind readers, judge ye: If he would thus try his arbitrary authority on and over us, what would he do and say to our child, if she tried to defend her case ? In the course of the conversation he said: “ I told her I would hold her diploma, and if she would live a good and honest life for six months or a year, she could then write me, and I would send it to her.” Was it true, then, that.he did not know she was going away? If so, why did he talk about her writing, and his sending her diploma? She did not feel that she could go home, for she had told him so. Well might I ask him “ where, in the name of Heaven, he expected her to go?” Poor child! After five long, tedious years with books and tutors, studying late and early, until her eyes nearly failed her, enduring those hard rides, over rough roads, twentyfive miles, six times every year, in the spring, fall, and winter, and often, too, in cold storms of rain and snow; after putting forth all the energies of her mind to accomplish her studies, stand well in her class, and reach the goal of her ambition, until her physical and mental powers were becoming exhausted by the heavy tax upon them, and knowing how much her parents and friends doted on her, and how anxious they were for her success, — if she could not graduate, which was the crowning point on which her heart was set, but must be sent away, disappointed, heart-broken, and disgraced, — to her distracted mind there was no future for her, and death seemed preferable. It has been asserted by some, who feel interested to exonerate from blame those who have control of that institution, or are engaged in its management, and the public are asked to believe, that Louise “ left the school of her own accord ; ” that “ no intimation was given her that she must leave, and could not graduate; ” and that those under whose charge and care she had been placed, did not know or mistrust that she was not in her right mind, or perfectly sane, when she left. As these propositions arc debatable, and, as I believe sincerely, each and every one of them incorrect and untrue, I will endeavor to show that • they are controverted by the tongue and pen of the party most interested to substantiate their truth, and, also, by attendant circumstances. In a letter to me, dated at Kent’s Hill, May 23, 1866,— being the same day L. left, — Dr. T. says : “ She left of her own accord, without my knowl- �I i 4G THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. edge." In the conversation to which I have alluded, he said that “ L. promised him she would go home, or go to Lewiston and send for me to meet her there.” As Mrs. Greene had before said that L. was always a truthful girl from her childhood, he rather sarcastically said, “ If she promised, should I not have believed her? ” Prof. Robinson says, in a letter dated Nov. 12, 1866 : “ No intimation was given her that she must leave the school; that she could not graduate. Mr. Torsey expressly said to her that if she left, it would not be on account of any action of the faculty, but of her own choice. She, at last, promised Mr. Torsey that she would go home. Mr. T. proposed to procure a carriage for her; but she said she sometimes went by way of Lewiston, and her father would meet her there; but whichever way she went she would let her sister make dll the necessary arrangements. As soon as Mr. T. learned that she had gone, contrary to her promise, he immediately sent a student with the sister to Mr. Greene, to inform him of the circumstances and to urge him to meet L. in Lewiston.” Before closing his letter, he says, “ Such, briefly, are the facts.” As no one was present but Dr. T. and my daughter, at this last interview, when it was said this promise was made, Prof. Robinson must be dependent on Dr. T. for all the knowledge he possessed of these “ facts,” which he announces with such positive and bold assurance. Was this statement, that “ she promised she would go home,” or that she would “go to Lewiston and send for her father,” true? Was it a fact that no intimation was given her that she must leave ? and that her leaving was a matter of her own choice ? As no eye nor ear but God’s witnessed this last interview between Dr. T. and my daughter, I will let their pens answer these questions. In a letter to me, dated May 27, 1866, Dr. T. says : “ I had a long conversation with her the morning she left, and urged upon her two things : First, that she go to Jesus with the whole matter, etc. Second, that she go at once to her father and mother, telling them all.” He does not say that he gave her any intimation that he would overlook or forgive, or that he would do the least thing to help her in her trouble. He further says : “ At our parting she gave me some assurance that she would do both these things.” Again he says : “ She named going by the way of Lewiston, of writing you to meet her there ; but did not insist upon it, any further than merely mentioning it.” From these statements does the reader discover anything like a ■ promise to do any of these things, as asserted by Prof. R. ? Dr. T. also says, in this same letter: “ I wished her to allow me to get a team, and that she and Chestina should go, at once, home.” After this he speaks of �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 47 her “ finally agreeing, as he understood it, to make no arrangements herself, but allow Chestina to make them.” In her last letter to her sister, written on that fatal day, Louise says: “ Dr. Torsey informed me this morning that I had better leave to-day. ‘ Not expulsion,’ he said, ‘ we won’t call it that, but I advise you to go home.’ Practically, it amounts to the same thing, however.” Practically, she thought it amounted to the same thing as expulsion, so she said ; and do not my read­ ers think the same ? Dr. T. wished her to “ go at once home,” he “ urged upon her that she go at once to her parents; ” he “ advised her to go home ; ” these are his own words written to me. And she had been too long uuder his charge to misunderstand what his wishing, urging, and advising practically amounted to. Yet, Dr. T. says, “ she left of her own accord, and without his knowledgeand Prof. Robinson, that “ no intimation was given her that she must leave,” and that her leaving was a matter of her “ own choice.” This play on words to disguise real facts, to evade the force of what, in substance, is the truth; this attempt to hide the true intent, designs, and purposes of actions, by using certain words and forms of expression, may succeed in carrying conviction to the minds of some, but, I apprehend, it will not avail before an intelligent public. It matters not with me what particular words were used, or things said, to give my daughter to understand what the real intentions were respecting her. Per­ haps she was not told in so many words that she must leave the school. She says she was informed that she “ had better leave.” She does not say she was expelled. Dr. T. would not call it that; but she was advised to go home. How could she graduate after leaving the school, as advised and urged to do ? Dr. T. has’ a great faculty to say or write in such a way that he can put any construction he chooses to the same. He well understands the art of intrigue aud double-dealing. “ If I could have had an opportunity to retrieve the past at the Hill,” etc., she says, in her class letter, “ maybe there might have been a future for me.” When Dr. Torsey asked her, in that last conversation, what she proposed to do, she replied: “ I want this kept from the school, and stay and graduate.” In view of the testimony here adduced, I leave the intelligent reader to judge whether it is a “ fact,” that she left the Hill without the “knowl­ edge,” instigation, “ action,” or intimation of any of the faculty. “ I did not tell Louise she could not graduate,” says Dr. T. in a letter to me, dated Oct. 29, 18G6. “ I told her the trustees voted the diplomas, aud I would be her friend in the matter.” In this same letter he also says: “ I spoke only of any time of her leaving when she had decided to go home �48 TIRE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. that day.” If this were so, why did he tell us in the faculty meeting that she said she could not go home? that she could not see or meet us? And why does he say she promised to go to Lewiston, and send for me to meet her there? What means the following, from his letter, May 27, 1866? “ I wished her to allow me to get a team, and that she and Chcstina should go at once home. She thought neither you nor her mother would receive her.” This statement does not appear to carry the idea that she had decided to go home that day; but the reverse might be inferred, namely, that she could not make up her mind to go home and meet her friends then. Is it at all probable that she sought to leave the institution without graduating, and was seeking, voluntarily, to leave it in disgrace? Dr. T. stated, on the day L. left, that she told him that morning, “ If she could not graduate there was no future for her.” And when asked what she proposed to do, she replied: “I want it kept from the school and stay and graduate.” Will he now pretend that when he advised her to go home, he expected her to-return in two weeks and graduate? If so, why was she “urged” and advised to go home? From anything that L. said or wrote, it does not appear — to me at least—that leaving the Hill was of her own seeking, or that she ever said she would go home. Why, her whole ambition, for those five long years of study, was to get through with all that was required of her, graduate, and obtain her diploma, and her whole soul and mind was bent on this achievement. Having accomplished this, it was her intention then to obtain a situation in some large institution as a teacher in painting, or some other department. In the “ Boston Journal,” a paper taken by the Adelphian Society, of which L. had frequently been Secretary and Treasurer (a student has writ­ ten me, that all the funds entrusted to her care for a long time were faith­ fully kept and properly expended by her as an officer of the society), appeared an advertisement for a teacher, at Hartford, Connecticut. L. had -answered that advertisement a short time before she left; and on the second day after she had gone from the Hill, a letter arrived to her address, dated at Hartford, Ct., May 24, 1866, requesting her to meet the Principal of that school, at Hallowell, Me., on the next Saturday, to make the necessary arrangements for her to go there in September following. This was her great desire, to get through her studies and obtain a situ­ ation ; and, as soon as possible, to get situations for her sisters also, as music-teachers, etc. She had often told her mother, that as I had spent so much for her, she intended to repay it, or its equivalent, in doing much for the other girls, her younger sisters, — so that she and they might be of some use in the world. This letter was heart-rending to us. It was pain- X. I » J �THE CROWN WON BITT NOT WORN. 49 ful to think that the long anticipated, and much desired opportunity was just ready to be offered her, and she died without the knowledge of it, and that her opportunity to assist her four sisters, for which her ambition and anxious zeal aspired, was lost forever. It was one reason why we desired to give her a thorough education, that she might help her younger sisters. To say that she did not desire to stay and graduate is advancing an inconsistent idea, at once at variance with reason, facts, circumstances, and good judgment. She had only two weeks longer to toil and strive, and the long-desired goal would be reached. It vanished in a moment, and to her mental vision her future'became a blank forever. It was this bitter disappointment, in my judgment, that veiled the prospects of the future, distracted more completely her mind, severed her ties to earth, and destroyed her life. What scathing words were uttered in the enunciation of the consequence and penalty of this alleged misdemeanor, or what representations of the “ enormity of her crime ” were made to the frenzied brain, to increase delusive ideas, and give a false coloring to life’s prospects, if any, God and the actors only know. On that fatal 23d day of May, she wrote a letter to her sister, and directed it to her, on Kent’s Hill. She must well know, that, under the circumstances, Dr. T. would be very likely to see that letter the next day, and, if untrue, would be likely to detect and expose the falsehood. “ Dr. Torsey informed me this morning,” she says, “ that I had better leave to-day; ‘ not expulsion,’ he said; ‘ we won’t call it that; but I advise you to go home,’ etc. “ How I feel God only knows, you never can; and my bitterest agony is for the dear ones at home.” Did she not understand his language, when she says, “ practically, it amounts to the same as expulsion”? And did not Dr. T. understand the language as she did? Did he not evidently mean she should so under­ stand it ? Had he said, “ It is expulsion, but we will not call it that,” would she have understood it differently from what she did? I have presented many circumstances, extracts from her writings, etc., to show that a prejudice had grown up against her, which appeared to , manifest itself in a disposition to find fault with her for little things, and in threats of “ little forbearance,” etc., if she should be found guilty of any violation of rules. In view of this condition of things, as they evidently existed in her mind, whether the reader is so impressed or not, 4 �4 50 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. what shadow of hope, or expectation of mercy or forbearance had she at his hand ? In her class-letter she says, — “ If I could have had an opportunity to retrieve the past at the Hill, — if this thing had not been made public property, and common talk, — maybe there might have been a future for me.” Who prevented her having “ an opportunity to retrieve the past at the Hill?” Who made this thing “public property ” and “ common talk”? Dr. T. told her, in that conversation in the morning, that “the school knew it; ” which meant and implied, as I understood it, that the school generally knew about the whole matter. He told M. I. Reed, “ that he said this to L. that morning she left; ” and Roscoe Smith told me, in the presence of others, that Dr. T. told him, “ that in answer to her request to have the affair kept from the school, and she stay and graduate, he told her, ‘ The school knew it, or most of them.’ ” Prof. R., in the letter to which I have before alluded, says, “ After as private an investigation as possible, Miss Greene acknowledged that she had taken several articles that did not belong to her,” etc. This very private investigation was made on Tuesday, and on Wednes­ day morning she was told by Dr. T. “ that the school knew it; ”• and about this time, Miss Case told all her class all about it. It was not her confession that revealed the whole matter to the school; for this was not made to the whole school, which she was told knew it, but to Miss Case, her teacher, and Mr. and Mrs. Daggett, the steward and matron. Yet we are told, and it is published from Kent’s Hill, that none of the faculty were responsible for these things being made public property, and common talk so soon. Mr. Daggett, under date of July 2, 1866, writes me as follows : — “Jonas Greene, Esq.: Dear Sir, — Your letter, inquiring who was present when Louise confessed she took $5, is received; and in answer I will say, Miss Case, Mrs. Daggett, and myself were present.” These were the parties who made the investigation into the whole affair; aud Prof. R. says, “ It was as private as possible.” Three only knew her confession of taking the money, “ the only crime she could feel herself guilty of,” as she writes to her sister. It was a wilful misrepresentation, a lie, when he said, or any one says, “ It could not have been kept from the school.” Louise knew it could have been so kept; and, when Torsey told her “ the school knew it,” she knew they did not mean to save her from disgrace; they meant to enforce 5 L > �THE CROWN WON BET NOT WORN. ,1 ► J i I i I a Sk. 51 his threat, “ that if she did anything that looked like a wilful violation of any rule, she could expect little forbearance from the faculty.” This is a point I make against them, and that prejudice caused them so to act. This is what killed her, broke her heart, and sent her to destruc­ tion. Her confession was made Tuesday afternoon, and early next morning, Dr. T. tells her, “ The school knew it.” Was it true that this matter bad been published to the school of some two hundred students in so brief a time? Or, was he seeking to take from her every prop, every possible ray of hope,' that she could stay and graduate ? Whatever might have been the motive or design, it looks very much like the consummation of the threat, that “ if'she did anything that looked like a wilful violation of rule, she could expect but little forbearance from the faculty.” If it were true, that the school did know of the affair in so short a time, in whose power was it to have kept this knowledge from them ? Who was to blame or responsible for making it-“ public property ” and “ common talk” so soon? It may be answered, that no one was to blame ; that no obligation rested on any one to keep the matter from the knowledge of the school, or from the public. Admit this to be so. Do the features of the case bear the impress of moral kindness and Christian forbearance? When one who “had hitherto borne an irreproachable character” had for the first time been guilty of a wrong act, whether rationally conceived and sanely car­ ried out, or otherwise, and who had frankly and promptly confessed the error, without equivocation or falsehood ; ought not her former good char­ acter to plead effectually in stay of judgment, and postponement of sen­ tence, till all the causes and circumstances in the case could have been investigated, and till she could have bad the benefit of a father’s counsel, and a mother’s sympathy ? Had my daughter been morally and really guilty of the “ mysterious ” act of which she was accused, and a thousand times more, I appeal to the public to say, whether I ought not to have been notified before the deter­ mination that she should not graduate was made known to her. “ She made,” says Mr. Daggett, “ an immediate and full confession as to the money, and returned it, not denying a -word.” Had she not reason to expect some mercy, some sympathy and forbearance, some friendly aid from those who should have been her protectors, to help her through this difficulty, and out of this her first offence? Was her conduct much like a sly and guilty thief ? Without the least shado-w or particle of evidence against her, on being asked about that five dollars, by Mr. Daggett, she �52 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. immediately told him where it was, and said she would get it for him, and did so. There was no lying, no equivocation, not the slightest at­ tempt in this affair, on her part, to evade the facts, as is almost invari­ ably the case with thieves. She says to her sister, “ The moment they asked me about it, I con­ fessed it.” In what may well be regarded as her last and dying words, she says to her class, “The only thing I have to be glad of is, that I did not deny when asked. Everything that was asked me I told the truth about, as near as I could in my distracted state of mind.” The truth of these statements made by her is confirmed by Mr. D. In his testimony to me, and I have never yet heard that any attempt has been made to controvert them. Yet neither her former good character and standing, nor her frank confession and penitence, helped her ou this occa­ sion. Her confession became “public property” and “ common talk ” ere the earth had performed its daily revolution; and, knowing the condition of things, and what had been said to her, it is no wonder that she said, only the next day after it was made, “ It is probably travelling the Hill at this moment, with a thousand exaggerations or that she said, “ I can hear, even now, the thousand buzzing rumors flying over the Hill.” She was “ advised to leave that day,” thus being informed,’satisfactorily to her mind, that she could not graduate. Cbestina, after L. had left, asked Dr. T. “if she could not have re­ mained and graduated ? ” “ Well, no,” he said ; “ it would not have been best for her to have gone on the stage; she would be pointed out as the girl that stole.” Thus intimating that everybody would know of her misdeed and her confession; and expressing himself, as to manner and time, as though the exhibition with her had transpired at the time the decision was made in her case, and she was made acquainted with it, and “ informed she had better leave that day.” “ It would not have been best ” etc., he says; evidently referring to the time when this point was settled with her, and she was in prospect excluded from the stage. ' In this condition of my lone child, separated from counsel and friends, what did he expect of her, and what did he intend respecting her? Did he ' intend to turn her out into the wide world, ashamed, disheartened, dis­ graced, and distracted, without money and without fribpds, a.lone wandeer to the solitude of the forest and the leafy couch of death? If not, — and God knows I wish not to judge too severely, — and a fatal mistake was unwittingly made, why was not an acknowledgment of the error as frankly �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. * ■ 53 made as was a confession and acknowledgment by my lost child? And would not such acknowledgment of mistake appear nobler and more Christianlike than seeking to evade censure by attempting to hide behind the invited, self-sought, self-coined and flattered resolutions or public expres­ sions of subservient, diffident, or favor-seeking students, or behind the ex parte report of an ex parte committee of trustees? Why seek to excuse or palliate a wrong, by exaggerating or harping upon the faults of the dead? Prejudice, when suffered to hold too much sway in the heart, is cruel, uncharitable, and unforgiving. It often blunts human feelings when kindness is really deserved, and gives to the actions of those against whom it is indulged a false coloring. Louise, was once expelled from Dr. T.’s house, — ordered out of doors, for telling him a simple truth, even after she had begged his pardon. Do all his acts, before and since she left, agree with the statements now made, that he “ had none but the kindest feeling towards her”? I propose, now, to introduce to the reader the testimony of M. I. Reed, relative to the matter of L.’s leaving the Hill. I will here state, without fear of contradiction, that Miss Reed is a young lady whose standing in society, morally, intellectually, and religiously, entitles her to confidence and respect. She is a teacher of much practice, and, as a scholar and teacher, takes rank before the public when known, among the first order. Being a lady of great energy of character, she interestecl herself in behalf of Louise as soon as she left, and thereby became acquainted with some important facts in her case. AFFIDAVIT OF M. I. REED. “ I, Mira I. Reed, of Roxbury, being of the age of twenty-three years, do depose and say, that I and Chestina S. Greene, who is sister of M. L. Greene, were keeping house, boarding ourselves together in a room in the L part of Dr. Torsey’s house, and attending his school on Kent’s Hill at the time Louise left, — May 23, 1866. I was well acquainted with her, and have been for a number of years. She was generous, kind-hearted, strictly honest and truthful in all things, so far as I knew her. I never knew ot heard a word against her character in any way, until after she left the Hill, May 23. I knew nothing about any trouble until about a quarter past ten, A. M., the day she left, when Eliza Bowers and Sarah Dow, two of Louise’s class-mates, came to my room in the college, where I was practising, and said L. had gone home, or to Lewiston. They told me she was accused of stealing; said she had gone in her every-day dress. They were greatly alarmed about her; were crying. I said: 11., would feel so bad she would �k bi THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. kill herself.’ Miss Bowers says: ‘ I fear so. Won’t you go and see Dr. T.? 1 think you will do best with him.’ I said I would. On my way up to Dr. Torsey’s I met Chestina on the street, and in answer to my inquiries she said she had just found a note saying that she (L.) had gone to Lewiston. She also went to see Miss Case, to ascertain how L. had gone. When she came back, feeling terribly, finding she had taken nothing with her, and had gone in her poorest clothing, she went down and out to find Dr. T. She found him in his stable. She came back in a few moments, and said: ‘ What can I do? What can I do? ’ and all in tears, threw herself on the bed. I went on the street, and met Mr. Harriman the stage-driver, who had just returned from the depot, where he bad just left L. He said she had bought a ticket for Lewiston. I told him I thought she would kill herself before night. He said ‘ he thought so.’ He shed tears. I asked him ‘ if he would go to Lewiston after her.’ He said, ‘ I will. • I think I can do better than any one else, as I am so well acquainted .with her.’ I said, ‘ You and Chestina had better go immediately after her.’ lie left, as I supposed, to get his team. I said, ‘ I would get Chestina ready in fif­ teen minutes.’ On returning to our room, I found Chestina still on the . bed; told her to get up. She should not lie there; she must get ready to go with Harriman. I got her clothing ready. About this time Dr. T. came to our door, and said ‘ he wanted to see Ches, alone.’ I went out into the adjoining'room. He went in. When he came out of our room, I met him at the head of the stairs. I told him I feared she would kill her­ self before night. He said, ‘ he had no fears of that.’ I cited her going in her poorest clothing. (He stepped back into our room, sat down, and talked a long while.) He said ‘ that looked like going into the factory to work.’ We still arguing the improbability of that, he seemed to think she was running away. We said we did not know how much money she had with her. He said, ‘ he understood she had fifty dollars sent lately: said something about her having a large letter from home lately. His talk and cool argument did quiet Ches.’s fears considerably; but still she, all the time, wanted to pursue her to Lewiston. This conversation with T. was at, or about, or just before twelve o’clock noon. He left, and then there was a long delay, a terrible suspense, — Ches., again taking on as before. No Harriman came with a team, as I expected at first he would. But, between two and three o’clock, p. ji., Torsey came up to our room again, and said that the arrangement was for Chestina to go home and let her father manage it, or do as he thought best; or words to that effect. He says to Chestina, ‘ You will have no objections to going home with Mr. Chandler, I suppose?’ I do not recollect that Ches, made any reply. u �55 THE CROWN WON BET NOT WORN. She did not object; but I knew she was greatly disappointed that she could not go to Lewiston after her. She said so as soon as he was gone ; but, as she had appealed to Dr. T. to know what she. had better do, she felt that she must submit to his arrangement.o Dr. T., in the first conversa­ tion at our room, told us, ‘ that he had never suspected her, Louise, of any, dishonesty in that direction;’ said ‘ he had a long conversation with her that morning. Louise said, “ if she could not graduate, there was no future for her.” I asked her what she proposed to do. She said, “ I want this kept from the school, and stay and graduate.” I said “ the school know it; ” that she then broke down, crying, and feeling terribly.’ I was told that Miss Case told May Chapman, ‘ she had better not go to Louise that night (May 22d), but leave her alone.’ As I understand, she was left alone, and her bed was not tumbledand it is believed she did not sleep any that night. When Dr. T. told us the arrangement was for her to go home, and that Mr. Chandler would go with her, I or we spoke of going immediately. Dr. T. seemed to be in no hurry, but remarked, ‘ It would be a pleasant evening to ride in; or they could go up in the evening.’ Then there was another long delay, a horrible suspense. I did not study or recite any that day. It was so with Louise’s class-mates, and with the school generally, so far as I know or discovered. Why, a terrible commo­ tion was on the Hill: an old, and valuable student — one just ready to graduate — had so suddenly been accused, for the first time in her life, and had so suddenly left, in the way and manner she had, there was a terrible excitement and feeling about the matter; so^much so that all who knew her, could, or did not attempt to, do much that day, after it was known she had left. All looked pale, and appear ed fearful of the result. The report was, that she had taken a large amount of clothing from the teachers’ and students’ rooms, — valuable marked and unmarked articles. “ I got all out of patience waiting for the team to come. It did seem as if they never would get started to take Chestina home ; but after supper, at, or about six o’clock, they got started with her for home, which is twenty-five miles. Dr. T. was informed that she had taken off her gold sleeve-buttons’and class ring soon after she had gone. “Mira I. Reed.” “STATE OF MAINE. “ Kennebec, ss., January 2Gth, 1867. “ Then the above-named Mira I.

Bean, Jus. Peace.” Asking my readers to bear in mind the special points in this statement of Miss Reed, and for the present make their own deductions therefrom I pass to the AFFIDAVIT OF CHESTINA S. GREENE. “ I, Chestina S. Greene, aged seventeen years, hereby certify that I am sister of M. Louise Greene, and was keeping house with Mira I. Reed, on Kent’s Hill, at the time L. left, May 23, 1866. Before noon, on Tuesday, May 22, Miss Case and Mrs. Daggett came up, and went into Dr. Torsey’s part of the house first, and then came into our room. Said, ‘ There have been lately several articles, of clothing lost at the college, and we have discovered that your sister has been putting into the wash articles that belong to other persons ; and in searching her room and drawers, we found articles marked.’ Said ‘ she had confessed she had taken unmarked articles of clothing, and five dollars in money ; and we have come to look to your things. We did not know but what Louise had brought things here.’ I showed them all my things, and opened my trunk, boxes, closet, and all; and then they wanted to know if there was not another trunk, — if Louise did not keep a trunk there. I said, ‘ No.’ They seemed to think, or give me to understand, that she had committed a terrible crime in wearing the clothing, as well as taking the money. Gave me to understand that she had in her room, trunk, and drawers a large amount of marked and unmarked clothing, not her own. Louise came up while they •were there, and seemed to want them to look into everything, to satisfy them. She asked them if they had told me. L. says to Miss Case, ‘ I feel so strange ! I wish I could think; but I can’t.’ They found nothing there. Making apologies, they left. She, L., looked very pale. I said, ‘ What does this mean ? ’ She says, ‘ They have been losing lots of things at the college this term ; and as I put unmarked clothing into the -wash last week, they lay all to me. They have searched our room, — all my things. This is what comes of having tilings unmarked. What shall I do? If this thing gets out into the school, there will be alb manner of stories going. What will they not accuse me of ? ’ She repeated, ‘ What shall I do?’ I told her ‘ I guessed it would not get out any further; the teachers would not say anything about it, and it would pass off.’ She said ‘ she hoped it would.’ . ■> �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 57 She looked sad. She went back to the college, and I heard nothing more until I came home the next day, Wednesday 23d, before noon, from practising music, and found in my room, in Dr. T.’s house, a note on the table, saying, — “ ‘Ches., tell May I have gone to Lewiston, and if she wants to know, ask Miss Case why. Signed, Louise.’ “ I soon saw Mira I. Reed. She asked me ‘ if I knew L. had gone.’ I was on my way to the college to see Miss Case, to know how she had gone ; and when I found out, I hardly knew what to say or do. Came up to our room, and laid down on the bed in tears. I soon went down, and out to the barn, and found Dr. T. in the upper part of his stable. I asked him if he knew where L. had gone? He said, ‘ I have just learned that she had gone, and supposed she had gone to Lewiston, as she spoke of going there.’ Said he had advised and urged her to go home. Said his talk with her was chiefly about asking forgiveness of God and her parents. He said that Louise said, she had always had all the money she had asked for. I asked him if she could not have stayed and graduated. ‘ Well, no,’ he said. ‘It would not have been best for her to have gone on the stage. She would have been pointed out to everybody as the girl that stole. I said, ‘ What is to be done? What can I do?’ I told him I was afraid she would go off, and make away with herself. I had been to the college to see Miss Case, with the note in my hand, and asked her if she knew Louise had gone. She said she bad just heard so. ShS grabbed the note from my hand, and read it. She seemed to think it very strange, perfectly incom­ prehensible. She took me to her room, and talked some time. She sbemed to be very cool. She could not understand it all, etc. When I got back, Mira came in, and I went to see T., as before stated. And when I came in again, after I saw Torsey, I threw myself on the bed again. By and by T. came to our room, and said he had been to thb college, and found L. had gone in her poorest clothing. She had taken off her gold sleeve-but­ tons and class ring. Had taken nothing with her but her reticule. I was then frightened about her. Said she would make way with herself. He said, ‘ Oh, no ! I do not fear that.’ I said, ‘What can I do? I cannot stay here, and do nothing. Hadn’t I better go to Lewiston after her?’ ‘ Well, he didn’t know.’ Said he could, or would get me a team to go to Lewis­ ton, or to go home, if I thought best. I did not know what to do. I went again to the college, to find out more how she went, and what she said, and what she wore; and when I returned I saw B. Harriman, the stage-driver. I asked him what I had better do. He says, ‘I do not �58 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. know what to advise you to do. It will cost some ten. or twelve dollars for a team to go to Lewiston, and you might be blamed if you should find her there; or, if she has gone home, your father might blame you; and then if she destroys her life, or goes off, he will blame you. I saw Dr. T. again, and asked his advice. He said, ‘ It is arranged for you to go home, and have your father see to it, or take charge of the matter, and do as he thinks best. Yes, I think you better do that.* He went to see about . a team; and, after a long delay, a team and Mr. Chandler came ; and we started at six o’clock at night for home, which was twenty-five miles. Mr. Torsey sent a letter to father by Mr. Chandler; but sent no special word, information, or request by me to any one at home. “Chestina S. Greene.” “ City of Petersburg and State of Va., to wit: “ The above certificate was sworn and subscribed to before me this 16th February, 1867. “ B. I. A. Butterworth, J. P.” We were told at Lewiston, in less than a week after L. had left, by Mr. Frost, a former student at the Hill, “ that he received a letter from a student then attending school on the Hill, the next day after L. left, saying, that when she left, it was the opinion of students there that she was not in her right mind, and that she would commit suicide.” He further said, “ that with his previous knowledge of the management on the Hill, it was his opinion that the time and manner of her leaving, and the fears of students must have reached Dr. Torsey immediately.” All who are acquainted on the Hill are well aware how hard it is for the slightest trans­ action to transpire on that Hill without his knowledge. His Argus eye is ready to discover the slightest move of every student. I could not take a student away two miles, for only a short time, without his knowledge, and a questioning of that student relative to her whereabouts while she was absent. It will be obseryed that both Miss Reed and Chestina became alarmed for the safety of Louise, as soon as they heard she had left. The quick perception of Miss Reed told her in a moment that there was danger in her case ; while even Chestina, in her youthful'thoughtlessness, perceived’ the true state of the case at the first glance. The disinterested stage-driver, Mr. Harriman, also came to the same conclusion, as appears from expres­ sions then made, whatever he may now say to the contrary, without waiting for arguments and full explanations. Miss Bowers and Miss Dow were s �THE CROWN WON BITT NOT WORN. ►- k 59 alarmed, wept, and proposed that action should be taken in the matter forthwith, and proposed an appeal to him who from his position should be the one to organize action. Yet the acute acumen of the principal of that institution saw no danger, discovered nothing but an intention to go to the factory, or run away. “ Had no fears,” but readily adopted the pre­ posterous idea, that she would divest herself of her jewelry, leave all her best clothing behind, and “ ran away,” or go to the factory in her poorest, every-day, soiled apparel! It is true, having “advised” her to leave, knowing her state of mind, to pursue or bring her back might seem incon­ sistent, and be at variance with the feelings of the natural-minded man; but in the light of Christianity and the spirit of the gospel, it is better by far to retract a wrong than to persist in it. I appeal to the candid reader to say whether, in this case, there does not appear to be either a lack in discernment, a careless indifference, or wilful neglect, as to what the result might be. I do not mean to say that Air. Harriman, the stage-driver, was prevented from going to Lewiston with Chestina by the advice or directions of any one directly to that point; he might have voluntarily changed his mind in that matter; that he advised with Dr. T. on the subject is evident, from his statement subsequently made to me. There can be no doubt, had he been advised to that course by Dr. Torsey, he would have done as was first suggested by Miss Reed, and agreed to by him. It is clear, to my mind, that it was the management of Dr. T. that prevented his going. Miss Reed, and others, understood that L. was not in a condition of mind to be safely trusted off alone. Were their facilities greater, and their opportunity better, for judging of her state of mind than were Dr. Torsey’s ? He had bad a “ long conversation with her ” that morning, whereas it does not appear that the others had. He must have discovered the despair and despondency that seized upon her mind when she declared “ there was no future for her;” that it was sealed up. ■ Fi om passages which I have quoted from both Dr. T.’s and Professor R.’s letters, it appears plainly that L. was not considered sound in mind, or, at least, was under such mental excitement that she was<4iot accounted com­ petent to make arrangements for, and take care of, herself. “ Finally agreeing,” says Dr. T., “ as I understood it, to make no arrangements her­ self, but allow Chestina to make them.” What did this mean? What is the inference? “ But she said," says Professor R. in his letter, “ she some­ times went by the nay of Lewiston, and her father would meet her there; but wtuchever way she went, she woidd let her sister make all necessary arrange­ ments for it. As soon as Dr. Torsey learned that she had gone, contrary �60 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. to her promise, without the knowledge of her sister, he immediately sent a student, with the sister, to Mr. Greene,” etc. Louise was twenty-two years of age, while Chestina was but seventeen. L. had been on the Hill, through the terms, for five years, — was well ac­ quainted, and at home there; while Chestina, comparatively, was but a stranger there. Why was it insisted that this young sister should make all the arrangements? Why did L. make such an agreement or promise, if she did make such as they say, unless it was suggested and urged upon her? Why was she, who “ teas of age" as Dr. T. once told us, and who had formerly acted the matronly part towards that sister, to be placed un­ der her youthful guardianship on this occasion, unless she was considered by him in such a state of mind as to be incompetent to make arrangements for herself? Circumstances show very plainly that it was on account of her “ bewildered ” and excited state of mind, as manifested by her appearance, and the result shows that in that matter, at least, the conclusion and judg­ ment were correct. Having shown my readers a portion of the circumstances, and a part of what was said and done to influence or cause the exit of my daughter from the Hill, I will now ask them to go with me farther into an examination of her guilt and crime, in the matters of which she has been accused. I be­ lieve, in all well-ordered courts, before any just tribunal, whatever may have been the crime, the culprit is held to be entitled to all the benefit of a previously good character, which, before a humane tribunal, pleads in miti­ gation of penalties incurred. I have shown, by certificates, the character L. sustained in her own town and in the towns where she had been employed as a teacher. I will now show how her character was understood on Kent’s Hill, by those who had the best opportunity to form correct opinions re­ specting her, and where she had been a sojourner, during the terms, for1 five years. For this purpose, I will call some of her class-mates, and other students who ■were school-mates of hers, and let their written statements answer. I will here say that, in quoting and making extracts from letters, I copy from none except from persons who are, or have been, in some way connected with Kent’s Hill institution. My motive in withholding signa­ tures for the present will be appreciated and understood, when I state that the position and relation of many of the’writers, at present in connection with that institution, might render the publicity of their names unpleasant to them, aud make them subject to such annoyances as have sometimes fall­ en to others. I have now before me a letter, handed me by the clerk of Peru, who says there is no impropriety in my publishing it entire. It is as fol­ lows : r i I �L THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 61 “Winslow, December IGtli, 18CG. “ Mr. S. B. Newell : Sir, —Your letter came to hand yesterday, and I was very glad to receive it; for I have long wished for some avenue through which to express my esteem and love for Louise, and inexpressible sorrow for her untimely death. Louise was not only my class-mate, but my very dear and personal friend, for three years. Being such, I could, perhaps, form a better estimate of her character than many others. “ During all the close intimacy of school-girl life, up to the time she left us, her life was not only one of morality, but of unselfish and careful con­ sideration of the happiness of others. Through all our friendship, I never heard her speak evil of any one, except a few times, when her sensitive spirit had been stung to the quick by a careless word let fall by those whe considered her destitute of feeling. For the sake of making others happy, she seemed to lay aside all those likes and dislikes so common to school life, and yet so strong while they last. “ She was literally-a peace-maker. Many a one can testify to difficulties smoothed and hours made happy by her. ' Many a one has gone to her ii trouble, and, laying aside her own pursuits, she would cheerfully give their her aid, until the trouble, was removed. “ She had the rare talent of adapting herself to the company around her, and endeavoring to make the time pass as pleasantly as she could. How often, during some of the ‘ dark days ’ which come to all, have I been com­ forted by our dear Louise ! How many happy hours do I owe to her who has gone from us forever! Of her literary acquirements, perhaps I need not speak; they are well known to many students who have attended school with her. Besides the knowledge acquired by study, Louise was naturally very taleiited; in my estimation as much so as anyone who ever went from Kent’s Hill during my stay there. Of her death, and the sad cause of it, I can say nothing that would throw new light upon it. Only, in my sorrow, I remember that the Father of all judges not as man judges. I could fill page after page with expressions of the worth and acquirements of our departed Louise; but perhaps I have said enough for every pur­ pose. Accept these few lines as an earnest and sincere tribute to the mem­ ory of Louise, from one who knew her intimately, and loved her dearly. “ Yours, etc., Adelaide Webb, * “ Class-mate of Miss Louise Greene.” I have also before me a few other letters from her class-mates, handed to me by the same friend. I shall not weary the reader with the perusal of all these letters entire, but shall make such extracts as may seem directly �G2 TUT. CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. to touch the point now Tinder consideration. In one of these, under date of December 28, 18G6, I find the following: — u I scarcely know what to say to you after my former letter. I was un­ able to consult the class, we were so far separated, so we might act to­ gether. “ I then thought I could as easily speak to the public of Miss Greene, as to you, or any one, in private. But when trying to write for publication, I could not do it, and, for several reasons, think it best not to publish any­ thing. I regarded her character as above reproach, until this last act. This ! could say, but it has been said continually, to the public. We all know she ought to have been saved ; but we, as it were, were paralyzed with grief.^ and did not act as we now regret so much.” From another of these letters, dated Dec. 26, 1866, 1 make the follow­ ing extract: — s “ No one could have admired or appreciated, more fully than myself, the truly superior talents of our lamented class-mate. No one is more pleased than myself to speak of her beautiful traits of character, or to dwell upon the perfect kindly feeling that ever existed between us, as friends, as class-mates, as sisters, in class and in society. “ Of these things I think much; of them I am ever happy to speak to others. “ I feel that anything from my pen for the purpose of publication is uncalled for. “ I feel that in this case public opinion has ever been and now is very charitable and sympathetic, and seems to demand no further proof of the many talents and virtues of our beloved friend.” I will now give a few extracts froni other letters, written by L.’s school­ mates and class-mates to different persons. I copy from a letter dated Nov. 4th, 1866 : — “ I think it a fact, that no student has ever been more universally be­ loved than was Louise. Indeed, I do not know of a single person who bore any feeling of dislike to her; and as long as I have been here at school (five terms), I have never heard a word against her moral character either from teachers or students. “ A year ago last spring she sat next to me in one section in the collego dining-hall. I used to like her lively conversation; and as I got better acquainted with her, and learned what a kind, womanly, heart she had, I learned to love her, and I used to think she had some love for me.” �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 63 Another student, writing under date of March 24, 1867, when speaking of being acquainted with L., says: — “ And I knew her but to love and respect; and think I am but express­ ing the sentiment of her numerous circle of friends and acquaintances when I say, she was universally respected and beloved. Her standing in the school was of the highest rank, and her scholarship and ability unquestioned. I know of none in my whole circle of acquaintance on the Hill, who occupied, in the affections of their school-mates, a position so enviable. » “ If others seek to do her injustice, God forgive them ! “ Unfortunate as is the past, I cannot censure. “ As a class-mate and personal friend, our acquaintance, though, perhaps, not intimate, was yet sufficient for me to say, in all truth, I believe her to be as free from any intentional wrong as is possible for weak humanity to be. I would write whatever of wrong in sand.” * i I have before me another letter, written by one of her class-mates, and hs it was the young lady to whom her “ class letter” was directed, and as confining myself to extracts would in a measure destroy the beauty and pathos of the sentiments therein contained, I will give the letter entire,— a splendid endorsement of her character by one who knew her well, as follows: — “ Unity, Maine, Sunday, Oct. 21, 1866. “ Mrs. Greene : Afflicted Parent of ‘ our Sister,’ — As your family assemble to-day, in agonizing grief, to lay away the sacred remains of ‘ dear Louise ’ in its last resting-place, near by her own loved home, you cannot know the many mourning hearts that sympathize with you in this your deepest affliction. You cannot see the bitter tears that fall with yours to-day over 1 our dear sister’s ’ fate. As I sit alone in my own little room to-day, my thoughts are all with you, my stranger friends, and oh, I fain would fly to you and tell you of my sympathy, and beg you never to forget that we, her ‘ sisters,’ mourn with you this great bereave­ ment, — yours first, ours next. Although I am but one, I know I speak the hearts of all the class. Oh 1 could you have known the agony that rent our hearts, when first we knew ‘ our sister,’ had left us ; could you have seen the sorrow-stricken group that assembled in my room as that pre­ cious letter, her last message to us, was received; could you have looked into our hearts, and seen, through these long months, the restless watching for some trace, some knowledge, some message from ‘ our poor Louise, — �64 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. and when at last it came, how did the dreadful bolt strike home to every sister heart I — could you but know all this, as I do know it, you could never doubt our grief, but would feel, if sympathy can lessen grief, or soothe the mourner, that your own heart-crushing agony had lesser grown, .and that a soothing balm were falling on your overburdened spirit. Would that I could say some word of consolation ; but well I know how vain are words to express what the heart would dictate at silch a time. One little1 thing I wish to mention, my dear stranger friend, and may the simple instance im­ press you as beautifully as it did myself. Yesterday, my mother and I had keen speaking of Louise all the afternoon, — of her brilliant powers of mind; her uncommon talent for writing; her kindness and self-sacrific­ ing regard for her friends; her charity for the faults of others; her en­ couragement to those who were striving to do right; of our sorrow at her • fate so sad, so awful; and our deep sympathy for you in your heart­ breaking agony, — of all these things we were speaking, when, as I passed into another room, I picked up a piece of a torn paper that had been acci­ dentally dropped by some one, and my eye fell upon a piece of poetry, entitled, ‘ Lines to a Skeleton,’ that seemed so very beautifully appro­ priate to the occasion, that I really thought it strange. My mother was equally impressed with its beauty; and I cannot refrain from sending it to you, hoping that it may bring to you the same soothing influence that fell upon my heart, as I read it. “ Dear Mrs. Greene, — I have a great favor to ask of you, the granting of which would render me very thankful. That letter that dear Louise sent to us — her class—was directed to myself. I remailed it to you, after having reserved' a copy for each of us ; and also the envelope in which it came, which bears my name (Eliza J. Perley). If ’tis preserved, and you have not the slightest objection, I would prize that simple envelope very highly, as a last token to myself from one I loved so dearly ; and oh I if you could send me, too, one’ of her pictures^ I would be very thankful. She had mine, but had none of her own to exchange at the time. I desire one very much. Pardon these requests from one who is a stranger to you ; but be this my plea, — your dear Louise was dear to me. Your daughter was my sister. But now, stranger friend, good-by; and may a God of love and mercy strengthen your heai-t in your affliction, is the prayer of “ Eliza Perley.” I think I have produced sufficient testimony to establish the good char­ acter of my daughter up to the time when she was first accused of any serious wrong. As no one.ever assailed her reputation up to that time, it > r �M THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 65 may seem to some quite needless that I have said so much. But when it is .considered that it is contrary to the common course of vice, for any one to plunge at once from the height of seeming virtue to deep infamy and disgrace at the first step, I wish to show my stranger render, who may infer, from the fact that the act was committed, that her character was pre­ viously bad, that there is a mystery here ; and if my daughter was ration­ ally and intentionally guilty of the wrong with which she was charged, it is a case at variance with precedent, and the usual progress of iniquity. • I have endeavored to show that the last statement of Louise respecting being advised to leave that day, was true. I propose now to show that her . statement concerning the clothing was true, also. After leaving the faculty meeting, on the 30th day of May, which I have before mentioned, not obtaining much information, from that quarter, rela­ tive to the charges brought against L., of taking clothing not her own, and being told by Miss Case that Mrs. Daggett knew best about that matter, we repaired to the college, to have an interview with Mr. and Mrs. D. Dr. Torsey had preceded us thither, probably to report, “progress,” and look after his own side and interest in the affair. Mr. and Mrs. Daggett did not meet us in the faculty meeting, as was requested by me, perhaps for the reason that it might seem a little beneath their dignity to have their steward and his wife present in .their dignified faculty meeting. We told Mr. Daggett that we had come to learn about the charges against Louise, of taking clothing, etc. He told us he knew but very little about the clothing, as he was not present at that investigation; but referred us to his wife. Dr. Torsey then showed us into Mrs. Daggett’s room, where we had a conversation with her relative to the clothing said to have been taken or stolen. The substance and material parts of that conversation will appear in the following CERTIFICATE OF JONAS GREENE. “ I, Jonas Greene, do hereby testify and declare, that on the 30th day of May, 18G6, myself and wife called at the room of Mrs. Daggett, in the college building on Kent’s Hill, and said to Mrs. Daggett, ‘We have come to know about the charges against our daughter.’ Mrs. Daggett said, ‘ Do you want to know all?’ I replied, ‘Yes ; that is what we have conn? for.’ She said, ‘If it will not hurt your feelings, I will tell you all’ (speaking as though our feelings could be worse hurt than they already were at the treatment our child had received, when we had then searched a week for her in vain, and believed her dead). 5. �66 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. “ She then said, ‘ The first we thought or had any suspicion was, that Louise had been putting cotton drawers, not herown, into the wash, Cor five or six weeks.’ “ ‘ Were they marked?’ we asked. “ She answered, ‘ No.’ “ Mrs. Greene and I had agreed, before entering the college building, , that if they said any of the things were marked, we would request them to produce the articles, that we might see if they were plainly marked, or if there was not some mistake in the mark, or some chance for a wrong con- » » struction to be put upon the real fact. “Mrs. Daggett continued, and said, ‘We entered and searched her room and things while she was at meals, down at the table. We found in her room, trunk, and drawers, some articles that did not belong to her.’ “ We asked, ‘ Were they marked? ’ “She answered, ‘No.’ “ 1 Do you take the liberty,’ we inquired, ‘to unlock, enter, and search students’ rooms when you please ? ’ “ ‘ Oh, yes,’ she replied ; ‘ we could not get along here with so many stu­ dents without that right, or without doing so.’ “We asked her how she knew that these articles did not belong to Louise. In substance, she replied, that they belonged to some other per­ sons ; that ‘ two collars belonged to Miss Case; that they were new style, tucked linen ; and that none in the college, except three teachers, had such collars'.’ “ ‘ Were they marked?’ we asked. “ She answered, ‘ No.’ “ She then said, that ‘ Louise told her they were lately brought to her by her mother.’ She said, ‘ Miss Case took them.’ She said, ‘ Something was said to Louise about the clothing on Monday night; but they did not go into investigation until Tuesday, May 22d.’ She said, that ‘ she and Miss Case went to Louise, and questioned her, she not knowing that they had been into her room, and searched all her things ; that they asked her if she had any articles of clothing in her room, not her own ; ’ that L. replied, ‘ I think likely there may be.’ ‘ That they then asked her if she had such and such an article,’—naming two. She’replied ‘Yes; I think so.’ ‘That they then asked her if she had such an article,’ — naming a third in her room. She answered, ‘ No.’ That they then told her the article was in her room, and that she had denied a knowledge of it. That they then showed her the article, and inquired of her whether it was hers. That she r i �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. ■ 67 said, ‘ it was not.’ We then again asked. ‘Was this marked?’ Mrs. D. answered, ‘ No.’ '* Mrs. D. represented this to us as L.’s denying a knowledge of the article, and then owning she .had stolen it, with other articles, which she owned were in her room. “ She told us about L.’s having an unbleached chemise, which Miss A. Harriman claimed. ‘ Was that marked?’ we asked. She answered, ‘ No.’ She said, 1 It was put into the wash the Monday before L. left.’ She told us about another chemise, which Miss Case claimed, which was in L.’s room, and which L. said did not belong to her. ‘Was this marked?’ was* our inquiry. ‘ No.’ was her reply. “A linen handkerchief, which belonged to Carrie Straw, and which L. said was not hers, Mrs. Daggett told us was found in L.’s room. ‘ Was it marked?’ we asked. ‘ No,’ was the answer. “ She then told us about one or two towels being found in L.’s room, one of which L. said was not hers. “ ‘Were they marked?’ was the inquiry; and ‘No,’ was the answer. “ She also said something about some under-sleeves ; but said they were not marked. She said L. put into the wash on Monday, the 21st of May, two days before she left, two weeks’ washing, with a written list of the • articles to be washed, and returned to her and her chum’s box. (L. was absent with her mother, at Lewiston, on the Monday previous, on the 14th, and could not put in her week’s washing.) “ In this bundle, Mrs. D. said, was the unmarked chemise which Miss Harriman claimed ; also, one ruffled chemise’, which was taken to Miss J. Sherburn’s room, on Monday, to see if she would claim it. She did so. We asked if that was marked. She said, ‘No.’ She said there was one pair of cotton drawers in the bundle that belonged to Miss Lucy Belcher. ‘ Were these marked?’ we asked. She answered, ‘No.’ “ By this time we were getting out of all patience, in view of the current reports that had reached us at every turn, that L. had in her room, trunk, and drawers, a large lot of marked, as well as unmarked articles, and we asked if there was anything marked. Mrs. D. said, ‘Yes, a linen hand­ kerchief.’ Mrs. Greene said, ‘ Was it a nice one?’ ‘ No,’ was her reply. “ ‘Was it new?’ said Mrs. Greene. “ ‘ No,’ was the answer. “ ‘ Was it an old one?” continued Mrs. Greene. “ ‘ Yes,’ said Mrs. D., ‘ with holes in it.’ “ ‘ Was this all that was marked?’ said Mrs. G. �* 68 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. “ Mrs. D. said, ‘ There was a pair of stockings that looked as though a mark had been pulled out.’ “ Mrs. Daggett stopped here. “ Mrs. Greene then said, ‘ How did Miss Case and others know that these articles were theirs ? ’ “ ‘ Oh, by the sewing,’ said Mrs. D.; ‘ and by the quality of the cloth. Could you not tell your girl’s clothing ? ’ “ ‘ No,’ said Mrs. Greene ; ‘ I could not tell with certainty in that way. Many of her clothes were made out of our house, by others; and I do not ’believe those who claimed and took those articles, could tell, with any cer­ tainty, whether they were theirs or not. No doubt they had lost articlfes enough,'and were glad to get what they could. They might be perfectly honest, and really believe they were theirs.’ “ This conversation was just one week after Louise left the Hill, when all the circumstances must have been fresh in the mind of Mrs. Daggett. 6 “Jonas Greene.” “ Oxford, sst, August 24th, A.D. 1867. “ Personally appeared, Jonas Greene, and made oath that the above cer- • tificatc and statement by him subscribed, is true, as being the substance of the conversation touching the subject therein named. “ Before me, “Roscoe H.

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

But in her last days, hours, or moments (for none can tell how long she remained there before death ensued), no eye but God saw her; no human hand was present to administer comfort; no human tongue to soothe or speak words of comfort or sympathy; no heart to share with her the anguish of that awful hour. There is no human testimony to show what her condition mentally was in those last hours, or in what manner, or from what immediate cause she died. If she died by her own hands, then no further proof of her mental derangement is wanting. Several years ago, under the pressure of poor health, with the loss of friends, she showed partial insanity or aberration of mind, which, no doubt, led her mind in a mysterious direction, not comprehended by herself after the shadow had passed off. I have referred to her condition of mind, or the signs of temporary mental derangement, the probable result of severe mental labor, combined with physical and nervous debility. I have not referred to this, her mental condition of mind, to heap censure upon those who dealt with her in her trouble on the Hill, making them appear more culpable in this matter. Gladly I would have avoided this, but duty to the character of the innoceut dead forbids that I should pass over it in silence. As far as the responsibility of the actors in this cruel affair is concerned, I would willingly admit that she was rationally guilty of all she had been charged with, in as aggravated a form as those who have been interested to exculpate the actors from blame, by magnifying her misdeeds, have attempted to fix it, and there leave it with the sound judg­ ment and intelligence of every lover of justice, mercy, aud forbearance, to say whether, after the proof of her good character aud standing through twenty-two years, spent in virtue’s path, aud after a prompt confession of 'the wrong, aud full restoration, those who had a knowledge of the state of mind to which their rigid examination and the consciousness of the act had reduced her, were not responsible and censurable for the lack of feel­ ing and fatal indifference 'that were manifested. I bad almost forgotten to take notice of the charge brought agaiust Louise of having in her possession a skeletou key. Dr. T. says: “ For three years she had kept a skeleton key, opening all of the students’ rooms.” I have no knowledge that eitherhe or any one connected with the institution ever stated that she ever used this key for any purpose whatever. . Still, ftoin this fact being made so prominent, the public might infer that she had done so ; and it seems that it was so intended that the public should so under­ stand it. Professor Kobinson does not say,‘as T. does, “ opening all the students’ rooms,” but “ that she had in her possession, for two years, �88 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. a false key, which would open most of the students’ room in the college.” Louise, jn her last testimony, says: “A skeleton key, given me years ago, I had, that looked as though I might have used it wrongfully. God knows my heart, I never did.” To her sister she writes: “ You know the skeleton key I have long had, — that told against me ; but after all I do not think they believed I opened rooms with it, for the purpose of taking out things. I certainly never did.’’ It appears evident that, while they were accusing her of taking everything that had been lost through the term (as she writes), they accused her of opening students’ rooms with it, for the purpose of taking out things. Or what does she mean by saying, “But after all,” etc.? (after they did ac­ cuse her of using it for the purpose of taking things, and tried to impress upon her mind that they believed it.) But she still thought that they did not really believe their own accusation true. I have before me what the receiver certifies to be a true copy of a letter from Professor Robinson, of the date, and from which I have made some extracts. I will now quote further from this letter, and let the reader judge of the truth and the logic therein expressed : “ With reference to the sad case of Miss Greene, and the reports circulated about Mr. Torsey, let me say, first, that Mr. T. is no more implicated in the matter than the other members of the faculty, and if there were any blame, it ought to fall equally on us all.” (Well, if R. wishes to say to the public that brother-in-law Torsey’s standing and influence is worth more than all the rest of this fac■ ulty, and they wish to shoulder equal shares of his load, so be it.) I can only say, it may look rather- hard for Mrs. Grover, one of the faculty, who said at the close.of that faculty meeting: “ That was the first time that she had heard the particulars. I would have been glad to have befriended her if I had known it.” Was this fair or just to Mrs. Grover, who had nothing to do in the matter, and did not a week after know the particulars? Was it fair to say that she was equally and, as much to blame as Miss Case, who did all she could to accuse, convict, and impress -the crime on my poor child, and left her alone the night before she left? R. further says: “But on reviewing the matter, even in the light of the sad result, I can find noth­ ing worthy of blame. Had we Imown that she would have taken her own life, we might, although we had no lawful right to do so without a warrant from a justice, have put her in close confinement; but even then, if she had determined to commit suicide, she could have found some way to accom­ plish her purpose.” Is this sound logic — rational argument—or is it sophistry ? It seems to me the learned professor must have presumed much on the simple credulity of the person addressed to advance such ideas to I 1 * �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN.. J. 89 make his case appear justifiable. It is an argument Letter adapted to im­ pose on female credulity than to meet the gaze of a reasoning public. Where is the school-boy, so dull and void of the power of invention, that could not devise some means to provide for the safety of a feeble, distract­ ed woman, only for a few hours, without resorting to a justice warrant? But even that course would have merit, rather than suffer her to stray away to wandering or to death. And who would think of quibbling on “ lairful rights” in such an emergency? “In the light of the sad result” we are told that had they known she would have taken her own life, they could not have done differently, could not have prevented it. Is this faculty willing to proclaim that to the world, to the fathers and mothers of this State, to those who send their children there? Is that what you mean when, in your catalogue, you say, “ Parents may feel assured that their sons and daugh­ ters will find here a safe and pleasant home”? I put this question square to you, Mr. Robinson: Were this your child, and our.situations reversed, would you, sir, be satisfied, after I bad known and’ taught your child for five years, as you have mine, to have me proclaim to you that had I known your child would have wandered far away and died, and her remains have wasted away before you had found her; and when you had gathered up her bones, and, in great sorrow and anguish, bad laid them in the grave, and life had become dreaiy and tiresome on account of the loss of your dear one, would you be satisfied for me to proclaim : “ Had I known all before, I could not have done anything differently,’done anything to have prevent­ ed so awful a result ” ? You would then see your miserable, contemptible logic in its true light, and would be ashamed of it. Are this faculty, who publicly announce the ability and talent, the intellectual capacity, to edu­ cate and give moral tone to the character of the youth of our State, pre­ pared to acknowledge to the public .that they did not possess the power of mind, the intellectual energy, the means sufficient, to have invented, organ­ ized, and put in operation some plan to have saved my child, if they had known the sad result of their neglect? — that they could not have listened to the proposition and advice of Miss Reed and the desire of Chestilia to follow her ? That, in all probability, would have saved her. Professor R.’s argument is this to the parents who send their children to that school: “ If they get into trouble, and are driven to despair by their own acts or ours, and we know they intend to commit suicide, we can invent no means 'to prevent them.” The extract I have quoted was doubtless meant for the private ear, to be breathed from private to private, till the circle partbok of a public nature. I place this acknowledgment before the public. If it bo true, the faculty have the benefit of it; if false, I am not responsible for it. �90 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. But it shows my position well taken and sustained, that my daughter could and ought to have been saved. The idea is preposterous that she could not have been safely detained on the Hill till I 'could have been sent for. Or, if Mr. Hamman had been advised, or, perhaps I ought to say, permit­ ted, to follow her at the time he said he would, I think she would have been saved. From the fact that R. says they could not have detained her with­ out a warrant, it is evident they had withdrawn all control over her, and “ practically ” expelled her from the school. Only nine days before this she asked leave, to go up to Chestina’s room in the evening, to see her mother and do some necessary copying, and it was refused her by Miss Case, when she knew her mother was there. The poor girl came running up the next morning, before she left, to explain why she did not come up the evening before, as her mother wished. This was the last time her mother ever saw her, and that writing she wanted her to copy will remain undone forever, as it was so faded that no one could make it out but her. They then could and did control her. But nine days after Torsey makes his miserable excuse. Robinson, in that letter, continues : “ She said that she could not remain on the Hill. She knew that it was impossible to keep the matter from the students. No intimation was given her that she must leave the school, that she could not graduate; but, on the contrary, Mr. Torsey expressly said to her that if she left, it would not be on account of any action of the faculty, but of her own choice.” Mr. Robinson was present in that faculty meeting and knows that Mr. T., in giving us an account of hei’ leaving, did not state it as he has here. He heard Torsey tell us thp.t he advised hey to go home. Will he, R. or T., say, that if L. had complied with this advice, and gone home, they expected her to come back and graduate? Robinson also heard Dr. T. distinctly tell us that L. said she could not go home ; that she could not meet her folks. Why was she saying this to Torsey if he had given her no inti­ mation about leaving, and T.’s telling us, that he told L. if she did go away he would hold her diploma and at the end of a certain time she could write him, and, if she did satisfy him that she had lived a good honest life, he would send her diploma to her? He, R., knows that he has misrepresented what Torsey told us; also he has misrepresented what L. says about the clothing, in those letters R. had seen. Hear her: “ If I could have had an opportunity to retrieve the past on the Hill; ” which shows that she desired an opportunity that was denied her. “ ‘ Dr. Torsey informed me* this morning that I had better leave to-day, ‘ not expulsion,’ he said ; ‘ we won’t call it that, but I advise you to go home.’ ” And when Chestina asked him if she could not have stayed and graduated, hear’ his answer’: �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. M 91 “ Well, no; it would not have been best for her to have gone on to the stage.” It was all fixed in his mind that she should not graduate; and he speaks of it as a thing that had passed; “ have been,” in the past tense, is his answer to her sister. He had determined the case in his mind, but smooths it down a little to C., and says, “ It would not have been best; ” his determination is clearly seen in this answer to Chestina. Miss Reed says Dr. T., told me that when he asked L. what she proposed to do, she replied, “ I want it kept from the school; stay, and graduate.” Robinson overlooks all those statements, and in the early part of this letter says, “ Miss Greene acknowledged that she had taken several articles that did not belong to her; also that she had taken money.” He has evidently con­ nected the clothing and money together, so as to give the person addressed to understand, that she confessed that she had stolen several articles as well as the money. If he intended to state facts, why did he not say she had lost many things in the wash, and said she took those in their stead? In her letter, she says, “ When I came to the college I brought many un­ marked articles of clothing, some new ones, and when I missed things from the wash I took others, unmarked, from the table, and used them. But if my own had not come by the close of the term, I should have left those where I found them, in the wash.” This letter R. heard read in that faculty meeting. She further says, in the letter’ to her sister, “For every garment I had.taken, I had lost one in the wash, and put those on in their stead. I had no intention of stealing them.” The reader can but see the gross injustice done her in this professor’s statement. I have already sufficiently shown that, “ her own choice,” of which R. speaks, was similar to the choice she had years before of remaining in Dr. T.’s house, after he had said, “ Miss Greene, you will please leave the house 1 ” Prof. R. further says, “ As soon as Dr. T. learned that she had gone contrary to her promise without the knowl­ edge of her sister, he immediately sent a student with the sister to Mr. Greene to inform him of the circumstances and to urge him to meet Louise at Lewiston. He had no idea, nor any one of the faculty, that she would take her life.” I have already shown, by Dr. T.’s own letter to me, that L. never made the promise here stated. How “ immediately ” a student with the sister was sent to mo may be seen by reference to the sworn statement of that sister. Louise left in the morning stage and reached Lewiston by noon, and it was six at night before this team started to notify me, although Miss Reed and Chestina urged immediate action, and stated plainly to Torsey that it was their belief that she would destroy herself be­ fore night. A wilful misrepresentation by R. Would he have called, fl’om ten in the morning until six at night, or from noon until six, immediately, if �92 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. this was his child, and then sent twenty-five miles to me, which is thirtyfive miles from Lewiston, making sixty to be travelled by private team be­ fore I could get to where they knew she had gone, when twenty-fire miles by team would have taken them to Lewiston ? A more miserable arrange. ment could not have been thought of. Mr. Robinson, wofully misrepre­ sents “ facts,” when he says, Torsey immediately sent a student with the sister to Mr. Greene to inform him of the circumstances, and to urge him to meet Louise at Lewiston. I hold the letter (sent by Mr. Chandler the student, who came home with Chestina) in my hand. There is not a word of information contained in that letter as to where Louise had gone, or a word of advice as to what I could or had better do to try to save, or re­ cover her; the word Lewiston is not written in that letter, neither did Mr. Chandler or Chestina bring or deliver any word from Dr. Torsey as to when or what we had better do, or that we had better do anything to try to save or recover her. The whole gist of that letter was this, — I in that long talk with L. urged her to go to Jesus, to you, and to her mother, and tell you all, and that you would forgive her; and that Chestina will make explanations and give information concerning Louise. Had Chestina and Hamman, or some other persons been immediately sent to Lewiston, she very likely would have been found at the Elm House, and been saved. Or, had a team been sent forthwith to me, I might have arrived in the vicinity of Lewiston in season to have discovered and saved her. This matter of accusation commenced on Monday the 21st; and through to the close my daughter was in the deepest trouble and excitement; and . not until Wednesday, in the middle hours of that night, was I notified. She was accused on Monday, tried on Tuesday, sentenced on Wednesday morning, and advised to leave (expelled, they so understood it) and go home ; and before I was notified of any trouble, on the third day, perhaps, her troubled spirit was in eternity. Is there any wonder that I feel aggrieved? — that tears flow thick and fast as I write ? Is there not a cause ? I have had. four daughters for a longer or shorter period at that institution, at about fifteen hundred dollars’ expense. Setting aside all claims, and feelings, and rights, even of hu­ manity (religion should not be named here, for it would be a disgrace to speak of it in connection with this whole transaction), would not common civility, the honor and respect due from man to man, lead me to expect, had it been my dog, instead of my child, that I should be notified before he was unceremoniously kicked from that institution ? , I placed her there under their promise that she should there find a “ safe and pleasant home.” I had a right to expect that those under whose com JI I j 1 ii �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 93 trol I had placed er, would be her guardians, protectors, and friends; and although “ of age,” that their protecting care would not be withdrawn until they bad returned her, or notified me, and I had time to have reached her. I was responsible, and they looked to me for her expenses. What­ ever might have been her crime, their responsibility and obligations would have been increased. She should have had time to have consulted her friends, and a full investigation had, before any intimation was given her as to what the result would be about graduating. They were bound by every consideration to extend to her paternal care and protection. Where, among my readers, is the parent or guardian, whose ward or off­ spring should leave his premises, as my daughter left Kent’s Hill, self­ disrobed of everything of seeming value in life, — self-disrobed, as it were, for the shrine of death, — who would wait inidlc unconcern and indifference for eight long hours before moving in any direction for the safety of the wanderer, and then move in such direction that sixty miles should lie between the loved one in peril and him who might seek to be the pre­ server ? What parent would not have immediately followed in the shortest direction, to save from so terrible a fate, if possible ? Would doubts of any parent, in such a case, influence indecision and delay? Should a child of any parent fall into the hands of a stranger for only a few days, in such a case, and he should not look after her safety, should you not consider him recreant to duty, and false to the principles of humanity? Can you think of any sect of people anywhere, civil or otherwise, where she would have fared any worse than she did at this religious institution ? It does seem remarkable and strange, while students were so forcibly impressed with the idea that L. would destroy herself, that ’Dr. T., or as R. says, an}' of the faculty, should have no such idea! Appearances were convincing to students, and their logic was correct. A portion of the faculty, with the best of opportunities of judging and forming a correct opinion, discovered nothing convincing, to excite suspicion; no idea, no fears of such a result. Before Prof. R. closes this letter, he says: “ I know a great many false reports have been circulated about Dr. Torsey, but those who know Dr. T. will not believe them. I am glad that you still feel an interest in the reputation of the school, and of your old teachers, and that you wish to correct, as far as you may, these false reports.” Then this is the object of your long string of statements, Mr. R., that you fear for the reputation of the school, and Dr. Torsey’s, that you put forth such wretched misrepresentations and call them facts I How many important facts have you suppressed to damage my daugh­ ter’s side of the case, and to clear the faculty? He says, “ Miss Greene �94 ■ THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. acknowledged that she had taken several articles that did not belong to her." But he does not give her the benefit of the simple explanation, that they were taken from the wash, or that she had lost four times as many articles. Others quote from her letters to show her guilt and crime, with­ out a word of explanation. Is this fair or just? They adopt these quotations as truth, to throw the blame all on her, and to exonerate the faculty, without giving her the benefit of her own dying explanation. And here I would say, that both law and sound reason will forbid those who quote from her confession, in those letters, and adopt as true such portions as they choose ; they are estopped in denying the truth of the whole. Prof. R. closes his epistle to his correspondent as follows, — “ God, who knows our hearts, knows that we have no feeling of harsh­ ness or severity towards Louise, nor of vindictiveness towards her friends. Our feelings were all pity and sympathy for her, and only pity for her unhappy friends.” Thus attempting to give force to those remarkable • “facts” which he had stated, by clinching them in the name of religion and Almighty God. The reader will judge of the pity and sympathy that were manifested, from the stern facts which transpired at the time. Was there much pity and sympathy manifested, after every means, seemingly, had been em­ ployed, to bring her mind to believe she had sunk to rise no more, — that she had committed a heinous offence, that could never be forgiven by God or man, — to leave her in her own room alone, through that solitary night, to pace it in lonely wakefulness till morn, forsaken, as it seemed to her, by God and man? “I tried to read my Bible last night,” she says, “but I couldn’t. I don’t believe I shall ever pray again, except to say ‘ Father, forgive me ; ’ and he will not hear. The Saviour is an iron door, I think, to me ; shut, bolted.” Was it strange, in her bewildered and excited state of mind, if the logical powers of those in whose opinion she had been taught to confide had been exerted to impress on her mind the enormity of her crime, that this idea should take possession of her deranged mind? While she was thus walking her room alone, could those who, the day previous, had investigated, even to the linen on ‘her body, to find the mark, and must know the deplorable state of her mind, rest in quiet slumber, and call this sympathy and pity ? Who would crave such ? “ Mi-. Schwaglerl said to me this morning, ‘ Remember your Saviour.’ I have been saying it over all the way here.” The only thing, it would appear, that had been said to her, which she A u 1 il r fl �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 95 could “ say over,” remember, or repeat, It was the only thing said to her for which she desired to return thanks. “ I thank him for that, always. Mary Chapman, you tell him so.” With all the pity and sympathy in their hearts, of which R. speaks, 57010 there no kind words spoken by any of the faculty to soothe and comfort her, which in her mind she could say over in her desponding moments while on this solitary travel ? No kind words spoken by them in their pity and deep sympathy worthy of her last thanks? Would she have forgotten them, and remembered Mr. Schwaglerl’s only, had such been spoken-? Yet she complains not, nor speaks ill of any one. She was not in the habit of so doing. Her disposition was not to rail, or find fault with others. As a school-mate of hers writes, under date of Oct. 25, 18GG : — “ It seems as though words were a mockery, when speaking of our sister Louise, and the wrongs done her. I never heard her speak ill of any one but Dr. Torsey. Oh! if she could have known what a wrong he would have done her, how much more she would have disliked him! ” It is possible Prof. R. might be right, asserting as a “ fact,” that he had no feelings but pity and sympathy for Louise; but how he could assert understandingly, and have the assurance to call his Maker to witness the truth of assertions respecting the feelings of others, is not so easy to understand. He was not present at that very “ private investigation,” or at that long conversation T. had with Louise the morning she left. Had he been present at those conversations and investigations, he could better have judged their feelings and treatment of her; but then it would have been presumptive to have asserted positively, with an appeal to God for the truth of his statement. If their feelings were all pity and sympathy, then I must say, they had a strange way of showing it. I cannot believe his assertions, neither do others. A correspondent, writing from Kent’s Hill under date of Dec. 31, 1866, among other things, writes as follows: — “ I have buried those that were dear as life, and it was hard to give them up, and consign them to the silent grave ; but God took them in his own time, and I have no right to murmur. When we have affliction come upon us in an aggravated form., it is hard to reconcile our minds to it. How could I? ‘ Woe unto them by whom offence cometh.’ “ My mind is the same now that it ever has been, with regard to your daughter; that is, she was shamefully wronged by those that should have been her friends in the hour of trial. If her friends had all been as truo as Miss Reed, there would have been no trouble, I think. Although I was �96 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. not personally acquainted with your daughter, I have ever heard her spoken of in the highest terms, until she left the Hill.” This was not an isolated expression of opinion among those who were conversant witli affairs on Kent’s Hill at that time. In a letter, dated Jan. G, 1867, I find the following expressions ; — “ I don’t care what Mrs. Daggett says, I know the students all loved Louise, — all that knew her; and the old students that were at the Hill last Exhibition, did not enjoy themselves one bit, they felt so bad about her; and many of them only stayed one night at the Hill. I don’t wonder that you think so hard of the teachers. If it were me, I should be more bitter than you are. I am not afraid to tell any one that I blame them ; not even Dr. Torsey himself.” In no communication that I had seen, either from students, or from any person living on Kent’s Hill, or from any of the faculty, directed to me or to any other person during those five years, was one word written against the character of Louise previous to that sad affair. On the 20th of March, 18G7, Torsey wrote to another person, in which he puts in an insinuating slur about a report he says was in circulation about L. I, or the person written to, have not, from that day to the present, heard a sound from any other person about the report he named. This is the only solitary ease where a word even of insinuation against her character, up to the present time, have I seen written; or heard a word spoken against her character previous to the last fatal affair. This foreshadows what Torsey may yet attempt to do. As fear or favoritism is I think the ruling passion on Kent’s Hill, it will be readily perceived, that while surrounded by this influence, and the sub­ ordinate position, and the danger of giving offence, many would naturally hesitate, before voluntarily giving expression to their real, convictions. Yet, I find all the expressions of opinions that have been ventured, as far as I know, coming from students, with one or two exceptions, blame Torsey and the others that had to do with her in that affair; meaning also to except that committee of students’ actions, and those who really did indorse them. And here I ought to say, that a large portion of the old students who knew L. so well, had left the school, and many new and young students had taken their places. And, als.o, I do know, that some of the old students did not attend chapel exercises on May 7th, the night that those resolutions were adopted. This may have been one of the causes of Dr. Torsey’s “ pimps and 0 ( 4 j ! L = = �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. * spies ” attack on Miss Reed, and his close watch after, and to see the com­ munications she received from me. In answer to a request of the town clerk of Peru, for a statement of Louise’s character, as she understood it to be at that school, previous to this last affair, for publication, one of her class writes as follows, under ,te of Dec. 21, 1866 : ” — “ I would gladly comply with your request, if it would in any tray benefit our departed class-mate; and I am willing to do much to alleviate the sorrows which oppress her bereaved parents. Such a statement as yon propose may accomplish the latter, and it may seem a trivial act compara­ tively in behalf of her I loved; yet I must refuse, at the risk of being misunderstood by so doing. Such a publicity cannot benefit poor Louise, and may reflect upon the officers and institution at Kent’s Hill.” She was not requested to give a statement of good or bad character, but such as she understood it to be. If that statement had been bad, it would not have alleviated our sorrow, and would it have reflected upon the officers and institution? We have here by inference that it must have been a statement of her good character. I would remind this class-mate of that sentiment, “ Truth crushed to earth will rise again.” I will now notice how that “ pity for her unhappy friends,” of which Robinson writes, was manifested. While I was searching for our lost / child, overwhelmed with trouble, anguish of mind, and awful -suspense, absent from my family most of the time, which on account of this terrible shock were in a condition to need all my care and attention, all sorts of reports were in circulation, and continually reaching my ears, of what Louise had done, and what had been said about her at Kent’s Hill, — all tending to disturb, distress, and harass my almost distracted mind, and that of my family. To know the truth of one of the reports in circulation, I wrote to Dr. T. as follows: — “ Peru, June 27, 18GG. “ Dr. Torset : Sir, — Nearly five weeks spent in the search,—I can find no reliable trace of her, our dear lost one. Is it a fact that Louise has all the way along, ever since she first came to your school, been thieving? Tell us all, I beg of you. It conics to us that you have said so. “ Yours respectfully, Jonas Greene.” The reader will notice that I did not ask him what he had said, but begged of him to tell us all the facts relative to her thieving. To this letter I received the following answer: — 7 �98 • f*" THE CROWN WON’ BUT NOT WORN. “ Kents Hill, June 30, 186G. Mr. Greene, — I have not made the statement you name in your letter. Have you directly or indirectly said we expelled Louise from the school ? Have you in substance said, our reason for expelling her was because she would not join the church? Have you said that her taking clothing, etc., was named to the school at prayers, or at the,table? Have you ever denied ' she took money? Have you said she took but two or three articles of clothing in exchange for what she had lost? Have you said that any of the officers of the institution have sanctioned the,exchange of clothing in lhe way you say Louise exchanged? Such reports as these may oblige us to state the facts publicly.” [After stating the charges against L., which appear in an extract in the first part of this work, he closes as follows “She was not expelled, and no intimation was given to her that she would be. The matter was never alluded to before the school. “Yours truly, • “H. P. Torsey.” He does not answer my one simple question, but catechises me in a string of half a dozen interrogatories, clinching them with a threat to make the matter public, in order (as I believed) to frighten me into silence. He did not answer my question (as it is seen by the mass of evidence herein pre­ sented),, as he should and could have done in four words, ‘ No, she has not." But here can plainly be seen, this sly, low, cunning, wiry, wicked man, in his true light. He takes this opportunity (in my greatest trial, weighed down almost in despair, tired and weak in body and mind) to make the most he could of this_ circumstance, and leaves it open for me to infer that he could say so (that she had been thieving all along), if I pro­ voked him. I commenced to answer this very pitying and sympathizing letter; but some new information caused me to leave home again, in a hurry, to continue my search, and I did not finish it. When I returned home, I found another of those missives, directed by that feeling of pity of which Prof. R. speaks, which reads as follows : — “ Kent's Hill, July 11, 18G6. “Mr. Greene,— Is it true that you told Mr. White, of Buckfield, that Louise simply exchanged clothes, — her case brought before the school,— she charged with falsehood, and expelled at once ? And what story did your wife report at Mr. Perly’s, at Livermore? If you are circulating such reports, it seems to me unfortunate to Louise and yourself. You know she . stole money, and can find no one that will tell you I ever brought the ' �TITE CROWN WON BUT KOT WOBN. ■ / 99 matter before the school. If you do not think any of these things against L. are true, you can have all these and other matters pertaining to her character, or your relation to this affair, legally established or refuted, by bringing a case of libel or slander, followed on our part by a prosecution for malicious prosecution and for slander. “ Yours, “ H. P. Torset.” In former times, when my purse was open to the claims of that institu­ tion, letters came from him to my address with some title, as is the custom of the day ; but these came simply to “Jonas Greene,” — pity having dis­ robed my name of even Mr. prefixed. At that time the accusations against L. had been made as public as was the fact of her disappearance ; and they were exaggerated as they floated from car to ear, or were magnified when first set afloat. To-these were added in their circulation base scandal, vile insinuations, at which the very dust of my injured daughter might blush. This being the case, I could not conceive how the circulation of such re" ports as T. named, whether true or false, could be any more unfortunate to L., unless it was meant that I should understand that there was something worse to bring to the public ear than had been put in circulation by private tongues. This hinting at, advising, or threatening a double lawsuit, this talk about libels, prosecutions, and slander, while with aching head and heart I was hunting day and night for our loved child, whose remains lay decom­ posing in the lonely forest, did not sound to me at that time much like the sympatliizing voice of 4 pitying friend. Such friends you, kind reader, under like circumstances, would desire to be few and far between. The second and last letter which I have written to Dr. T., was in answer to the two which I have noticed, and is as follows : — “ Peru, August 29, 1866. “Dr. Torset: Sir,—Your refusal to answer the one question I asked you, in my letter of June 27, puts me under no obligation to answer your various questions of the 30th of June. My whole time having been spent, from Maj- 2-1 to the 1st of July, in search of our dear lost one, I had no time to properly answer 'it until I received yours of July 11. The spirit and address of those letters were such, coming to me in such an awful state of mind, and under such terrible trouble. — the terribly distresseel state of my whole family, the pressing care of my family after being absent from them so long, — under such circumstances, I did not feel disposed to an­ swer them then. �100 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. “ I have not said you expelled her because she would not join the church; never have said that the taking of clothing was named to her at prayers or • at the table; have never denied her taking money; have never named the number of articles she took in exchange. I know nothing about the officers of your school sanctioning the exchange of clothing, except what a student told me. I have said what he told me. I never told Mr. White, of Buckfield,'what you asked me if I did. You say she was not expelled. What did you say to her about leaving the school? Did you, or did you not tell Louise that she had better leave that day (May 23), and go home? An answer is requested. “ Yours respectfully, “ Jonas Greene.” r* He (T.) has never answered this question ; its truth he wishes to evade. I have taken copies of every letter I have written him, at the time, and since he turned her out of his house, and the reader can see how much cause, if any, I have given him, that he should write me those insulting letters, before named. They can judge as well as I, for I have laid before’ the public all and eveiy word I have written him ; and you can but bear witness that I have held my temper well, and written him respectfully. I desired to give him no cause, but to see how far he, with his malignity, would go. I received but one piore letter from him, which was dated Oc­ tober 29, 18G6, after .her remains were found, — his logic false, that she was • going into the factory, running away, or going to other bad places, as has been insinuated. “Mr. Greene,—You'and I are to face each other at the judgment-day. It will then be known who is responsible for Louise’s awful death. It will then be known who'is wrong and who has been wronged. In view of that day I again say, I in no way referred to the matter before the school in her presence or absence, nor named it to individuals. When Miss Case named the matter to me, I requested her to say nothing of it. I did not tell L. she could not graduate. I told her the trustees voted the diplomas, and I would be her friend in the matter. I spoke only of any time of her leav­ ing when she had decided to go home that day. 'She was not willing to see you here. I had no unkind -feeling towards'her; nothing but deep sorrow at what had occurred) “ Yours, “H. P. Torsey.” ■ �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 101 Whether this was intended as his letter of condolence to me, I am un nle to say; but it does look more like an attempt to acquit himself from ■ zlame, by hasp insinuations, and his denials of what all the circumstances and surroundings, with her written declarations, and other evidences, sus­ tain, than sympathy for the sad and final result. This is his third written denial to me that he had not referred to the matter before the school, when I had never accused him of so doing, and had written him so. “ I did not tell L. she could not graduate.” What difference did it make to her whether he told her she was expelled, or that he said, “We won’t call it expulsion; but I advise you to go home to-day.” (A slimsy dodge, in­ deed.) He here says, “I told her the trustees voted the diplomas, and I would be her friend.” As much as to say, I will be her friend to try to obtain from the trustees her diploma. When he distinctly told us, in that faculty meeting, that “ if she did go away, I would hold her diploma. She could write me in six months, or a year, and if she did then satisfy me of her good behavior, or good conduct, he would send her diploma to her.” There was no trouble then but what he could do as he pleased with her diploma (which she knew was about made out before she left), which no doubt he holds to this day. Again he says, “ I spoke only of any time of her leaving when she had decided to go home that day.” If this be true, why did he tell and repeat over again and again in that faculty meeting, that she, all in tears, told him (at his request or advice to go home) she could not go home. She could not meet her parents. As to his assertion that he had no unkind feelings towards her, nothing but deep sorrow, with all the evidence of his prejudice and conduct towards her for the last two years which she remained on the Hill, herein produced, I will leave an intelligent reading public to judge of the correctness of his assertions. HER PIETY DOUBTED. Dr. T. says that he had lost confidence in her religious character. If that is so, I can only say that it appears by the memorandum in her diary, her letters, and what she had told us, that she long since came to a worse conclusion as to his Christian character. She had long believed him de­ ceptive and void of true Christian piety. His opinion might be founded on prejudice, as I have already shown that it existed. A school-mate writes to-Louise, April 29, 1865, and among other things says: “ The gist of the whole matter is, Dr. Torsey has found out that you are shrewder than he ; therefore you can expect but little forbearance from the teachers. The whole course of reasoning, when sifted down, resolves �102 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. itself into that.” In speaking of the matter of religion, another school­ mate writes: “ I am glad you spoke freely with the venerable doctor. How much did he hear from others? I read that part of your letter to my dear friend, Miss G. She said she thought interfering with religion most too much for him to attend to, especially on hearing her say she has taught fifteen years, and had never heard of such school discipline.” None but God knows the depth of piety in the heart of Dr. T. or my daughter. We can judge of the tree only by its fruit. The first evidence we have of her religious tendency, and Christian faith and hope, is a letter dated at Kent’s Hill, May 4, 1862, addressed to her “ dear mother,” in which she speaks of the death of her teacher, Prof. Scott, in the most touching terms, as an excellent man, a kind teacher, who had suddenly passed away. She there unfolds to her mother, that she had for a long time tried to love and serve God ; had not had strength to publicly proclaim the fact; but that she then had resolved to bear the cross. “I love God” (she says), “and know that he will give me strength to do my duty, aud lean on Jesus, and pray God to deliver me from temptation, and keep me from evil; and may I spend my days in his service.” She afterward wrote her mother, asking her if she should join the class or speak in meeting, when she did not feel it a duty to do so. She said the}' tell her there that she could not be a Christian without she did so. Her mother wrote her that she alone was accountable to her God for the performance of such duties; and it was uot for her, or auy of the teachers, or Dr. Torsey, to dictate to her what these duties should be. The hard things which I ha^e heretofore stated that some of the faculty had said to her, had so wounded her feelings that she could not consistently go to social meetings and take a part in them on the Hill. She said she had no freedom in them. At the first of the term, in December, 1865, hei' sisteiEstelle went to the school, and was boarding with Louise in the Packard house. This was soon after Estelle had made a profession of religion. As Estelle was getting ready to go to the first class-meeting for the term, she said to Louise, “ Are you not going to meeting?” L. said, “ I cannot go,” and began to weep. She afterward told Estelle that the reason -was that it was said by some of the faculty, she went to gain the regards of a certain gentleman; and that one of them had said it made him mad to see her at class-meeting after she had said “ darned fool; ” or at least she had been told that it was so. But still they were finding fault with her because she did not go to their meetings more. On the 23d of December, 1866, Louise and Estelle were sent for in the night to come home, which they did on the 2 'th, in season to witness the death of their youngest brother, seven & * �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. f 103 years old. He was buried on the 27th; he died the 25th. In Louise’s memoranda I find, December 25, 1865, this entry: “At a piiirter past three, A. M., God let him go, our dear mother’s Christmas gift, to God. Mother has quite given up, and seems unlike her own brave self. 27th. We all went to prayer-meeting, and God there took away my cross. I had always dreaded speaking in meeting. To-night, for the first time, I .could not wait till it came my turn, till the minister was done. A new and joy­ ful state of mind for me, truly ! I stayed with Abby to-night, and for the first time found strength to pray aloud. How I dread going back to K. IL, where now I cannot consistently go to social meetings and be an actor therein! I’m resolved to be an active Christian, out of meetings, with God’s help.” Why she speaks of God’s letting him go, was because he in his last hours suffered greatly, breathing so he could be heard all over the house, and it was relief to us when his suffering was over. That this record is true, as far as Mrs. Newton is mentioned, I will let her testify. “Peru, J/arc7i 15, 1867. “ I, Abby G. Newton, wife of W. S. Newton, who live close to Mr. Greene, hereby certify that Miss M. Louise Greene stopped ovei' night with me on the 27th or 28th of December, 1865, my husband being absent. She (L.) read in the Bible, and then prayed with me, and talked about a Christian life and the future state. Iler talk was of a high order, coming from a gifted mind. It made a lasting impression on my mind. This was the last time that I saw' her. . “ Abby G. Newton.” December 28th she has this entry: “ To-morrow we go; and then from morning till night mother will be all alone.” I did go with her and Estelle, on the 29th, to the Hill, and poor Louise never returned. December 30th she has the record : “ Father went home this morning, but not until he knelt down and prayed with me. The first prayer I ever heard him make; the first prayer he ever heard me make. We shall not forget them.” This was all true ; she prayed when I was done. “ December 31, Sunday. Sermon, P. M., on recognition of friends in heaven, Matthew’ viii. 11, by Rev. John Caldwell, of Hallowell. Every word seemed meant for me. I could not re­ frain from tears. It stirred up nobler thoughts than I believed myself capable of thinking.” As all her writings of which we have any knowledge or means of know­ ing the facts therein written we know to be true, we have good reason to believe that all her other writings are equally true. As there seems to bo �104 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. a disposition manifested by her accusers at the Hill to attack her at every point, I have felt compelled to make it clear and plain that her memoran­ da and her other writings were reliable, and that she possessed the power of memory to quote verbatim the language which she had recently heard. In a lengthy letter of several sheets, written to her mother, we have the substance of that beautiful sermon, referred to before, of December 31. In quotations written out from memory, in her copy-book, she has almost en­ tire lectures written from memory after she had returned from the place where they were delivered. In her other writings she often speaks of things ' as they transpired at Kent’s Hill. She there tells of a long interview and lecture from Dr. T., which I have laid before my readers, and we believe every word of it correct and true in substance. I believe the same of her last letter. I have before alluded to Dr. T.’s telling us that L. said we were hard, proud, and unforgiving, especially her mother. I have no means of knowing the truth of this statement of the doctor, but must repeat, if true, it shows conclusively to me that her mind was in a bewildered state. No mother and daughter ever exercised towards each other more intimate confi­ dence, love, and kindness than did they. I will give a letter, written by L. to her mother, to show, in a measure, her feelings. It was written at Kent’s Hill, December 23, 1865, the evening before the messenger arrived to bring them home on account of the dangerous illness of her brother: — o “ Saturday Evening, December 23. “ Mr darling Mother, —We had a letter from Chestina to-night, and after reading it I felt like, writing to you. No mail can go till Mon­ day. How I wish it could reach you to-night! Estelle has just gone to class-meeting. I warrant you she won’t forget the home friends. Wilma wrote us she had become interested in religious matters. She is young, but I think -will be decided. Don’t it rejoice your heart, mother, to see them all coming into the fold, to the tender arms of the Good Shepherd? If ours could become a united religious family I think it would help, in a measure, to do away with the difference so common among lots of children of nearly the same age. When I spoke just now about the children’s com­ ing into the fold, I could not help thinking that maybe the Good Shepherd would be wanting some of them up yonder, — would be taking them indeed and in truth to his fold. Ours has been an unbroken family, but it cannot be always so ; and if one must go, who better than the little one, the sin­ less, for ‘ Of such is the kingdom of Heaven ’ ? Dear mother; you would not be unreconciled, unconsolable, if what we all fear shall happen? I have thought much about George Henry lately, and it seems to me he is I J * f I �THE CROW’K WOK BUT KOT WORK. /- 105 going. I seem to have him constantly in mind, and more especially, with­ in a few days, him and you. •! don’t know but I worry about you more than I do about him. Are not you tiring yourself all out, mother, and pre­ paring another sick-bed ? Are there none to whose care you can trust him, at least, a part of the timb? Remember, mother, you cannot endure all that you once could. You must see yourself that you are by no means as strong now as y<Ju used to be. Your day of hard work is done; you have had more than your share of it always. Now let the rest take their turn. Of course you cannot lay aside anxiety, but the work, the actual care of the child, should fall partly into other hands. Are not the people ready and willing? Won’t they feel — or, rather, how will they feel if you won’t let any of them do anything? Couldn’t you feel willing, any way, to let at least Sabrina stay with George II. some, nights ? I don’t suppose you realize bow much you are doing, and bow tired you are getting; but by and by, when the uncertainty is ended, if not before, you will be the one needing care and medicine, if you are not careful of yourself. Do try and not do too much, mother; and don’t wear yourself out with worrying, for is he not in God’s hands, to do with him as he sees best? It seems to me that I can have perfect faith in the result; that somehow or other it will be for the best. Now, mother, won’t you try and 1 be a good girl,’ as you used to write it in your letters to me ? I hardly expect you to answer this, but wish you could write. We are getting on quite well, and mean to make things last, so we need not trouble you for things during this sickness. So don’t once think of that., I wish I could do something for you, but it seems now that the most we can do is to keep from making trouble. Now, goodby, dear, with much love from your affectionate daughter, • “• L. M. Greene.” After she had returned to college, subsequent to the death and burial of her little brother, she wrote her mother as follows: — “ Kent's Hill, Me., January 8,186^. “ Mr dear Mother, — I ought to have written home before this, and should if I had consulted my own inclinations; but work seemed to call in another direction. Though it is only a week, we are quite well settled back into our old way of life. Only study seems tenfold harder than it ever was before. I find rayself away off, thinking such strange, wild thoughts as only those who have just buried their dead can think. It seems providential that for this and the past term my studies are so few; for with the full number I could never in the world have got through. This past experience I �I 106 Illi THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. has made me fearful. I cannot help wondering what will come next. But I tiy to ‘ let the future take care of itself.* O mother, you should have been here last Sunday, and heard a real live sermon, that would have filled your whole soul with faith, and made you believe, what every, one wants to believe, in the recognition of friends in heaven. Wasn’t it strange that a sermon, especially suited to us, should have been preached to us just after our return ? I wish father had stayed over Sunday just to hear- that. It was worth coming here on purpose for. The text was from Matthew viii. 11.' [She goes on to give the substance of that sermon from recollection ; but it is too lengthy for my limits. She closes with these words:] “ I can’t help thinking of two weeks ago to-night, and it unfits me for work. Goodby, mother.. Write all who can to Louise.” I have copied these letters to show the religious tendency of her mind, and the love, confidence, and affection manifested towards her mother, and her tender solicitude for her welfare. The feelings here exhibited were ever reciprocal between her and her mother; and it is with me incredible that, in her right mind, she could drop so suddenly from her high moral standing, social and religious, so low as not only to commit a petty crime, but also to speak of that dear mother in terms of disrespect, to the very man in -whose friendship she had no confidence, and whose threats she had so long dreaded! She told her mother, in October, 1865, that she did not believe she should ever graduate. Her mother asked hei’ why she thought so. She said, “ I can’t walk straight enough to suit Dr. Torsey. He notices little things in me that he does not in other students,” and mentioned sev­ eral instances. “ They seem to be watching me all the time, and I am afraid that Torsey’s prejudice has influenced the other teachers against me.” The loss of our little son was the first inroad made by death in our fam­ ily, and it was to us all, seemingly, a sad affliction, till experience taught us that burying our friends under ordinary circumstances was compara­ tively a pleasure. This stroke of affliction hung heavily upon the mind of Louise, producing those “ strange, wild thoughts ” of which she speaks. While away from home, friends, and in combination with other circumstances and matters, the presentiment that she should never graduate, operated to bring her mind into the condition and state which I have before mentioned. It was the loss of this brother, no doubt, to which she alluded, when she said to her class, “ This good-by is a thousand times more bitter than was the laying away of my dead.” We, the surviving friends, can take up the expression and say truly that parting with her, under' the circumstances, �THE CROWN AVON BUT NOT WORN. 107 was a thousand times more bitter than was th? laying away of all our pre­ vious dead. Suppose, kind reader (if a parent), this war* your child, your daughter, your first-born, whom from infancy you had watched over; one on whom you bad bestowed your tenderest care in sickness and in health; you had watched the expansion of her mind and the development of intellect; and, with much anxiety and toil, had sought to store that mind, at home and at school, with useful knowledge. As time advanced and intellect expanded, you saw evidence of brilliant talents, and an aptness to learn ; you looked on her with pride and satisfaction, doted on her as an affectionate parent only can, and looked forward with hope to the pleasing prospect when that intellect, that active mind should become matured and shine forth in the full development of womanhood. In due time you send that daughter to a literary institution, under fair promises of safety, for the purpose of acquiring a literary education. Term after term passes, years roll round, and you find your daughter making all the advancement reasonably re­ quired or expected. As a scholar, her reputation rises as she advances, and not only keeps pace with her opportunities, but keeps in advance of them. As a scholar', the most envious dares not deny the meed of praise; as a teacher, you see her successful at every trial, loved by her pupils, loved and respected by her employers and those in superior stand­ ing ; you hear her character spoken of in the highest terms; you hear her abilities extolled, and her disposition spoken of with admiration; you see her, after years of anxiety and toil with books and problems, grappling with all the vexation and trials that lay between her and the goal of her ambition, with a zeal and earnest resolution which deserve success ; you see her diligent by day, and frequently through tho lonely night till the still hours of morning, pursuing those studies, the consummation of which is to be her final triumph; you see her progressing prosperou-ly till within twelve days of her final triumph, for which she had so long tpiled and for which you had looked with anxious mind and high hopes. All at once the curtain falls, — the dark future lies before her, all her high hopes are blasted, — her character gone, — accused ofcrime, — a close search made, and the search pursued to her sister’s room, and even to her own body; attempts are made to hold her accountable for all the petty plunder' or mistakes of the whole institution, and to impress the enormity of the crime upon her already distracted mind. No friend is notified of her situation, no friendly advice or counsel called to help her in her bewilder­ ment to explain the dark “ mystery” that shrouded her mind. Some arti­ cles of common wearing apparel are found in their room, or in her posses- < �108 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. sion, while four times the number of hers are gone. No explanation is seemingly heeded. She is adjudged guilty, and the verdict goes out to her companions, the school, and to the world. No friendly teachers call to comfort or advise her; no room-mate enters for the night her apartment. Alone in her sorrow she walks her room through the dark hours of night, her brain on fire, while her mental thoughts, her very soul seems oozing from her eyes in floods of tears. The morning dawns ; and your sorrowstricken child is visited by her tutor,—by him to whose safe-keeping you had consigned her. In a long conversation she is given to understand the pen­ alty of the acts with which she is charged, and the reality of which she had long feared. As an opiate to her troubled and distracted mind, she is told and urged to go to God, and her parents, and make great and humble confession, thus making it appear as though she had committed a great crime. She is advised to go to God for that consolation, comfort, and pardon that was denied her by man. He, Torsey, has nowhere written or said, to my knowledge, that he told her he or the faculty would forgive her. She leaves the scene of this long conversation, in which she had been advised to leave that institution, divests herself of everything valuable, writes that her heart was breaking, and wanders off alone. This is known, yet no one who has the charge of your child seems to care for, or moves to look after her safety. She is seen in her soiled Clothing, the same day,' wandering and weeping among strangers. During the three days in which these cruel acts are transpiring, you are only twenty-five miles away, yet no means are taken to notify you that your daughter was in trouble. No notice reaches you until fourteen hours after the fatal journey is taken. You make all haste to pursue her, but it is too late. No more is seen or heard ' of her till nearly five months after, when her wasted form is found in a solitary forest. Kind parent, were this your daughter, could you feel to say that “ in the light of the sad result you could find nothing worthy of blame?” If so, then I would say that in my opinion, if you had to take our place, suffer (only for one month) as much as I and my poor wife did, no person would ever after hear you trying to excuse Dr. Torsey and that faculty from all blame. I care not what your religious sentiments are, if it were your, case, — your child, —you would see and feel that a great wrong had been done her, and that those whose duty it was to care for and protect her until you were notified and bad time to reaeh her, had wofully neglected their plain duty. Will Torsey say they were under no obligation to notify us? Suppose she had suddenly been taken with brain fever, her reason gone, — would he have had no duty to perform? Again, if she had fallen and nearly destroyed life, would he or his friends say he had no duty to per- 5 i h’ I �I TILE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 109 form? Would behave abandoned her? In such cases, he would be held in law for damages; but when her character was at stake, which to her was dearer than life, he could see no danger, had no fears, no immediate duty to perform. You would feel that morally, if not legally, they were responsible for her death. You would care not how high or low were their standing, — they should stand or fall by the justice of their acts. There is no religion in profession. By their acts they should be judged. By the fruit the tree is known. To do C7znst-like is Christianity. Does the reader see anything like his example and precepts in all their dealings with Lou­ ise? Tell me what single act of kindness have those Kent’s Hill professed Christians done in pursuing to recover, or to assist us to find our child, their old student of five years. No, not one single act or one dollar can they show that they have expended in the search, or in any way to assist us in the discovery of the one for whose board, tuition, and books I had paid them so much. They never have offered to do the first thing in that • direction, or, to my knowledge, have they ever asked or requested any stu­ dent to assist us, except the one who came home with Chestina; while many a stranger has turned out to assist us in the search, and many were the acts of generosity and kindness done and offered me in my long, lonely, and wearisome search, which cheered and sustained me on my sad journey. They will long be remembered; while from those managers on Kent’s Hill where I have paid my money, and have so sadly lost my child, I receive only insult and injustice at every turn. What is the cause of all this? What have I done to deserve such treatment? * “ I have but little faith in man. God is our only refbge in this great trial. He is merciful and good. ‘ His mercy endureth forever.’ ” On reading the following letter of L. to her mother, — which was over­ looked, — I am tempted to put it in here, although out of place : — “ Kent’s Hill, Sunday, Feb. 4, 18GG. “Dear Mother, — We received your letter last night, and will to-day commence an answer, which I shall probably mail about the middle of the week. I was both sorry and glad when your letter came; glad that this revival of religion was getting deeper iuto the hearts of the people, and spreading from neighborhood to neighborhood. No one can help rejoicing at this; sorry that for you, mother dear, there does not come peace, — ‘ peace like a river.* I believe it is waiting for you, — and not on the other shore, but here, right here. For those who are gone you can but feel thankftil. I shall always think of our little one as a bright spirit, waiting just beyond the river, and rejoicing when he sees us doing bravely �110 Q THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. our liie-work here, and saddened (perhaps), if we grow too weary of the way, too impatient for the journey’s end. You ask a strange question, mother,— ‘ What does one like me have to live for?’ I should answer, ‘ Everything.’ For your children. Do you want them obliged to walk the hard path your childhood’s feet once trod ? Can you think of a sadder word for them than this one, — motherless ? “ For your husband. Needs he not you, temporally and spiritually, mentally and morally? For community. You have means; you have influence. Wherein they are weak, strengthen them, and, by so doing, you will gain strength yourself. Wherein they are wrong, make yourself able, by reading and thought and word, to right them. “ When they have trouble, comfort and help them, and comfort will come into your own heart. Look not mournfully back upon the past, but hopefully into the future. “ Oh, it’s very easy to say these things, but hard to begin to do them ! Once begun, however, they bring their own reward, like every other good thing. Won’t you try, mother mine, to turn your mind away from these sad thoughts ?•— to come out of self? For it is your loss you mourn, not his, for his is gain. Not so much your loss, but losses, I should have said. I think I understand how this bereavement has brought all the others fresh to your mind, — from the mother who left you in childhood, down through the long line to your boy. They are calling you, and it seems as though you could not wait. But think who hold you here. By the memory of your own motherless girlhood, and the need you have, even now, of a mother, I entreat you to find room in your heart for your other children, — and a willingness to stay. “You are anxious to go, you say; anxious to leave us to—what? Do you realize what? Can you imagine our home as a home, and you gone ? Do you want your* children to grow up as Aunt Martha’s would have grown without your care? You are willing, ‘ nay, more, anxious for this ’ ? Take it back, mother, unsay it; you cannot mean it, mother. You might be willing for us all to die and you be left, but must not be willing for the opposite. “You used to be strong and brave. It is twice as heroic to be willing to live sometimes, as it would be to die as the martyrs did, — at the stake. “ Don’t pray for death, — but patience, faith, and strength. May you have them always and abundantly, is the earnest wish of “ Your affectionate daughter, . “Louise.” The denomination in the interest in which this school is conducted, with i I ! I i �I THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 111 here and there an exception, — especially their minister, so far as I have known,—have shown a willing disposition to clear Dr. Torsey and the faculty from all blame, and repeat the various charges and reports against my child. My wife has belonged to that denomination about thirty years ; and as the interest of that denomination is now to sustain their leading man at that institution, she sees that all her hard labor in taking care of their ministers and members at her home, and the funds given in that direction, are but of little account, when the reputation of one of their leading men is at stake. They have nothing to do to alleviate her sorrows, to heal the. awful wound, to console her grief, to defend the character of her child, up to the time she was accused ; no excuse to make for this one act of her life. They can repeat the charges against her, and insinuate that she had not been all right before ; while they abound in excuses for those who managed this sad affair. I will say to such, as Peter said, “ God is no respecter of persons.” To err is human; to forgive, divine. “ By their fruit ye shall know them.” And now let me say to all, that, as you have the evidence, such as would be sustained in any court, as proof that Louise had lost at the college in the eleven weeks which she had boarded there this term, up to the time I took her trunk and other articles away, over sixty articles, — four to one of all they have ever accused her of having; and from the day when you shall come into possession of these facts, oue and all, for the sake of truth and justice, when you hear repeated the charges against her whose tongue is silent in death, just- say somebody had taken four articles of hers, to one of which they accuse her; and that embraces five pairs of cotton drawers, . the last wearable pair she had; and that she rode away, and walked to the couch of death with none on, as she said, and which was proved by the discovery of her remains. And was there not some necessity for putting on others unmarked in their stead? “ I had no intention of stealing them; if mine had not come before the term was done, I should have left them in the wash.” O my God ! where is the conscience of those who took, and now have, her last pair of common drawers, when they know she must have suffered intensely from cold for the want of them, as she lay dying on the cold earth through, those chilly nights in May 1 God may forgive them and those who so wickedly pursue to disgrace her memory; I cannot, unless they show a different disposition than they have done. There are many other articles lost, which we believe she had with her at the college ; they are not named in Mrs. Green’s sworn statement; not �112 THE CROWN WORN BUT NOT WON. having positive personal knowledge, they are not mentioned; such us books, stockings, handkerchiefs, and various small articles; with a bank book, showing a deposit of eighteen dollars to her credit in a Boston Savings’ Bank. Some of the lost and sworn-to articles were plainly marked, — and some­ body knows where they are. Where are all those sixty or more articles? Echo answers, — Where ? They at that college should forever be silent as to stealing, until they render some account of these lost articles belonging to my daughter. Why did they pursue L. to such extent to prove that she had, and to hunt up owners to claim, unmarked articles, when they will tell all, that they are not responsible for unmarked articles ? And why did Miss Case, in violation of rule, put into the wash unmarked articles, and so readily claim and take from L. the same ? And why did Mrs. Daggett, the next day after L. left, go into L.’s and Mary Chapman’s room with Miss Hunton and others, and take up an unmarked article and suppose it belonged to others, who knew that article was there before Louise left? There are dark spots all the way along. “ Is there not a hole somewhere in that building where things disappear and are seen no more there ” ? as my wife told Mrs. Daggett, Nov. 8, 1866. Had we not lost enough there to be allowed to say that? We had borne and forborne the losses there in 1861, ’62, ’63, ’64, and ’65, in silence, for her sake, for fear of appearing small, and getting up a feeling against her. When weohave borne all this without saying a word to them, it does seem too hard that no leniency should have been extended to our child 1 , As soon as we reached home with L.’s things, May 30, and found lots of her clothing and other articles missing, Mrs. Greene (as I was obliged to leave immediately to continue the search), wrote Mr. Daggett, and notified him of the things she had then missed, so that he could look them up before / = that term closed, when all the students were there. He made no reply; / never answered her letter. At a later date she wrote Mr. Torsey that many/ of L.’s things were lost. Neither he nor Daggett, from that day to the. present time, has written us a word of explanation about the same. In October, wanting some of L.’s books to send to Chestina, who was away to school, we wrote Miss Reed (as we could not get a word from those who Prof. Robinson says, “ have nothing but pity for L.’s friends,” that any­ thing was there, or that they would ever try to look them up), and asked her if she would go to the college and see if she could find the two valu­ able books, and ask them if any other articles were there. Mrs. Daggett, brought forward two books,—but not the ones we wrote for,—L.’s Adelphia i �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 113 pin, with her name plainly marked on the same, with some other articles, to the amount of, perhaps, in all, five dollars. These are none of the articles sworn to, by Mrs. Greene, as now lost. Why did Mrs. D. keep those articles from the last of May, until October, with L.’s name marked on some of them, when Mrs. Daggett admitted to Miss Reed, nt this time, that she knew my wife had written for them, and asked them to look them up ? Any mother would be very desirous to know all about the lost one’s things, under such circumstances. I repeat, why did she keep them, and withhold all information? What means all this in my daughter’s first, fore­ most, and fast accuser, — one who ..could call L., to her mother, an'habitual thief, because, as she said, L. said she had been in the habit of taking un­ marked articles, when hers were lost, to wear until hers came again ? Mrs. Greene says to her, Nov. 8, when Mrs. D. said that L. had been putting drawers in the wash several weeks before, “ Why did you not tell me when I was here nine days before she left?” Mrs. D. then distinctly said, in my presence, “ We never mistrusted any kind of a thing until Monday night before she left Wednesday .morning; ” and as Mrs. G. was blaming them there for the way they treated L., and about the large amount of articles lost there, she said, “ I know somebody is to blame; somebody knows where they are.” Mrs. Daggett whined out, “ I had rather bear the blame myself than have Dr. Torsey,” and continued to say, “I have done noth­ ing that I am sorry for, nothing but what I would do again.” Dr. Torsey tells Miss Reed, that he had no regrets when he went to Lew­ iston, and to the place where her remains were found. S. R. Bearce, who went with him, tells the same; that Torsey said, his conscience was clear ; that be had done all he could to save her, or words to that effect; when he (Torsey) was the last person on earth who talked with her about her trouble, he leaving her alose, sending no one to her to comfort or assist her. As soon as he leaves, she takes off her jewelry, and some other valuables, hastily writes these words on a little scrap of paper, — ‘‘Heart breaking, dearly beloved, adieu,” — then leaves the room and building, without saying a word to any one, hastily tries to see her sister, then takes the stage, flees from this man as from a tiger, and from the Hill; flees from class-mates, teachers, room-mate, and all her friends on earth, — alone, shunning every­ body she knew, — goes to Lewiston and walks to the solitary forest, and to the couch of death, and there, with a broken heart, far from home and friends, in that lonely forest, with no hand to administer to her, with none to speak words of comfort, with no eye to pity, save the all-seeing eye of God, she lays herself down and dies. In four months and twenty days, her decayed form is discovered. Who on earth could have believed that 8 I �Ill . TIIE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. Torsey, who had been at the head of that school so long, had her under his control and care for five years, could have been so self-righteous, and so self-conceited, or hard-hearted, as to believe that it was not possible that he had made some mistake, neglected some duty, or in some way, when the sad result was known, had failed to do all he could then have wished he had done, or that if he had done differently, this awful result could have been avoided? Who, under all the circumstances, could feel that his conscience Was clear, — that they could or would not have done differ­ ently if they had known the sad result ? Do the public believe their bold assertions ? If so, God pity them ! and parents should be cautious how they trust their children in their hands. I do not know that I should doubt their assertions, after the manner they received us in that faculty meeting, and the letters I have received from Torsey, and what he said to Mrs. G., the cool way and manner of their arguments and appearances; when Prof. Morse read her class-letter so coolly, not the slightest emotions perceptible by any except one or two lady teachers. I do not know about such persons having anjT conscience. I scarcely ever saw a stranger .read that letter without shedding tears.' The very recital of the circumstances of her leaving to strangers, when I was looking for her, would often cause sympathetic tear, while the lead­ ing members of that faculty could so coolly treat us in our greatest distress. Torsey tried, in that meeting, to find out what we were going to say about her loss.; and when we were accusing him of prejudice and in­ justice, he stamped his foot on the floor, and tried to stop us with this show of authority, or to stamp us down. If he would thus attempt to ex­ ercise his authority over us, we may well judge how he would be likely to treat our child if she made any attempt to defend*herself. Torsey will not admit that she was not just herself, but tells Roscoe Smith, as he (Smith) says two weeks after L. had gone, that if dither was crazy, ' it was her mother. I can only say to those self-righteous people, who have no regrets, and would do the same again under like circumstances, that they very much resemble a certain sect whom, in the days of Christ, he called Pharisees. Where is the evidence that he was kind to her, or tried to make this trouble look favorable to her? He says he was kind to her. I have no evidence of that; but there is evidence clear to my mind that he knew she was not fully in her right mind, when he says he told her if she did go, to let her sister make all the arrangements. What does this mean? Why attempt to put her under that much younger sister, who was a stranger x 4 < f �I THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 115 there compare! to this old student, if he believed her fully sane? Facts will creep out. If Torscy should say the school knew it before he did, would that help the case? Should the next in authority—Miss Case, the preceptress, and Mrs. Daggett — proceed in the examination, without his knowledge, when he was there, and then let all be known to the school, before he knew it? No one would believe that, after we have proved that Miss Case and Mrs. D. went into his part of the house before entering Miss Reed and Chestina’s room the day before L. left. One more point. Who believes, if this had been Prof. Perley’s daughter, or a favorite of Torsey, that he could and would not have found some way to have kept the matter private, and from the school, — saved her character and life? I have not a shadow of doubt that nothing but the will was wanting to have done that in poor Louise’s case. A student writes me, under date of March 21, 18G7. With other things, he says, “I cannot state facts, that is, positive evidence; but yet, I am assured in my own mind that favoritism and partiality did exist, arising not only from sectarian motives, but other more trivial, but not less culpa­ ble considerations. I say this in no spirit of animosity or fancied injustice done me, for I have none, but as an unprejudiced observer; was a member of the school five terms, and think I have drawn my conclusions rightly.” Another student writes Mrs. Greene, under date March 1,18G7. ‘Among other things, she says: “ I lost a pair of good stockings. I think T lost those the last week of the spring term. Mrs. Daggett did not know where they went to, and I am sure I don’t. Nearly all the girls lost more or less that they put into the wash. I never could understand why there need to be so many things lost. Poor Louise! how much she must have suffered? I have often thought what my feelings must have been under similar circum­ stances. God only knows her feelings, for I think no one else can. It was very hard that she remained n’gne the night before she left. The girls felt badly about it, but did not know it till the next morning.” God and those who hold the skeleton keys only know — I do not — how much their skeleton keys had to do about their finding out her real senti­ ments or feelings towards them, by examining her private correspond­ ence, in her room, in her absence I From one of her class I have a letter under date of December, 1866, from which I make the following extract: “ I dare not judge the teachers of intentional wrong, though that some great wrong has been done I think hone will deny. “ It is very strange where so many of Louise’s things arc. There are things I - 1 �116 THE CROWN' WON BUT NOT WORN. taken as supposed every term by the help, and was last term at the close. Louise was very much loved by the students, with but very few exceptions. I think no one will deny that. I always loved her even before I knew her well, and since I’ve known her intimately I’ve counted her. among my dearest friends. Louise was a true friend, and had the kindest, most sympathizing heart of any girl I knew. We always sought her in trouble or sorrow. Iler life was full of sympathy and care for those around her.” In another letter from an old student, she says, writing to Mrs. Greene from Kent’s Hill, October 7, 18GG: “ I talked with Mary Chapman : she says it makes her mad to hear a word said against Louise, and she did not think she had any evil intentions, only was careless about looking after her own clothing.” (This writer continues :) “ I cannot see why any one should try to hurt Louise’s character, for she was very particular in regard to her gentleman associates. She always selected those who had the best standing in school. I have heard that repeated time and again, by those that were well acquainted with her. She is wronged when it is said of her* she had not au unspotted character. Do not think I say these things because I am writing to you ; it is what I say to all, and what I sincerely believe.” Mary Chapman writes me, from which I make the following extract. Speaking of Louise before her body was found: “ I pity her from the bottom of my heart, and gladly, oh, so gladly! would I again take her into my confidence and love her as before. I always treated her as a , sister; in fact, she took the place of one to me, and a kind and good one she was.” Do students go, or are they sent, to Kent’s Hill to build up that religious denomination ? This may be the object for which some are sent there, but it is no part of the purpose for which many students go there. To get an education is the great object; this is what the State has endowed colleges and academies for. This institution ba» received large amounts in land and money from the State. In 1827, it received one half township of land, and subsequently, at seven different times, it has received from the State eighteen thousand six hundred dollars. Who gets the benefits of.this more than twenty thousand dollars from the people of the State? Do the students get the benefit of it? Nothing but the chance to attend that school by paying well for all they get there. Does not this twenty thousand dol• lars put them under some obligations to the public to guard, protect, and take good care of all the students who are entrusted to their care? and no artifice or dodge of Dr. T. will excuse him by saying a student is of age. That faculty is under every obligation, legal, moral, and religious, to im- 7 5- �1 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. ■ 117 partially teach, protect, and defend the rights of every student, of whatever name age, sect, or color, whom they have or shall receive into their, school; and he who for any cause, holding such a responsible position, allows his prejudice to prevent an impartial performance of all his duties, has for­ feited all claim to public confidence, or the respect of individuals. Will Dr. T. yet say that he left it to her about leaving? It looks as though he means to say that by and by, by what he wrote me in October 18GG : “I spoke only at any time of her leaving, when she had decided to go home.” All who know that man and the authority he exercises on the Hill (and L. knew it well), know he is not in the habit of leaving much to the student to decide; no, not he, by no means; he is one whose actions show that he believes he was born to command, and all the right students have is to obey. In proof of this I will here let some students speak for themselves, .and here I would call the attention of that wise and knowing committee of students, to see how much they knew .what their Bev. II. P. Torsey, LL. D., the President, had or had not done. They seem to think, as it looks to me in their article of about two-thirds of a column in the Farmer, that the repeating of the title President, which they have done ten times in that communication, with Rev. and LL. D. sometimes attached, would be a clincher, and the public must take all they have resolved and said to clear Torsey, as true, as they would believe him to be a mighty big and powerful man. From a letter to me from a student dated May 7, 18G7, I make the fol- . lowing extracts: — “ Your daughter was a kind friend of mine during my stay at Kent’s Hill, and her conduct towards all exemplary. During a recitation in read­ ing under Prof. Torsey, I laughed at something the professor said, and another student laughed, too. Prof. Torsey said, ‘ Stop laughing immedi­ ately,’ and we could not. Instead of correcting us as a gentleman, for I grant we did wrong, not intending it for impudence but merely because we could not control ourselves, he took the other student (she gives her name) by the ear and pulled her to a front seat, and took the back of the book and knocked me in the face with it several times ; this lie did before a class of ladies and gentlemen. IIq never spoke one kind word to me during my stay ; his only spirit towards me was a domineering one. Ho governed by fear, not by love. This the other student certainly will tell you was done, if she says anything about it; ” and then she gives me the reason why she thinks the other student might not like to say anything about the matter. She thou continues and says: wiBut there is a just God, who will certainly bring the one who caused your grief to a higher �♦> 118 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. tribunal than an earthly one.” She offers to make oath to the truth of this statement. In another letter, dated June 19, 1867, the writer says : “I think Mr. Torsey is a good, teacher, as far as his scholarship extends; and, were it not for his strong prejudices, he would be a good disciplinarian. He is a man to be feared more than respected. He has a faculty of appearing very religious, and will make a favorable impression upon a man who sees but one side of him. But the man who knows him as thoroughly as I know him will not be disposed to speak of him in favorable terms. Mr. Torsey may be a Christian, but I have for years prayed that I might have a different kind of religion. The seminary folks’ meeting held at the seminary, and the action there taken did not change my mind at all about the matter. I was with them so long, that I understand how those meetings are got up. The hand that moves the whole thing is not seen by the undiscerning.” I have just received a letter, dated July 22, 1867, in which the writer says: “ I lost my wallet with its contents the latter part of the spring term. It was taken out of my room (which was left unlocked) some time during the night. I have not found out anything about it yet. The wallet contained about $700 in money. I remember at the time hearing of a number of the students who lost money and gther articles.” This student, at the time he lost his money, was boarding in the college building. It is a well-known fact, when they choose'to keep those things private, that they have a good faculty to do so; hence the school and the public know but very little about this student, or Miss Grover losing money, or the other students losing money and other’ articles, as this student says, at that term. In another letter, dated June, 1867, an old student, — one who has been there for years, and had boarded in the college; a student of good sound judgment; one who had as good a chance as any to judge cor­ rectly ; who was there when L. left, — says: “ Dr. Torsey’s authority in the school, I think, is unlimited. But this is my opinion, and, I think, is the opinion of nearly every student of the Hill, that whatever measure Dr. Torsey thought best to adopt, the faculty would unhesitatingly agree with him. As to what course they would have pursued in regard to Louise, if she had remained, I am not prepared to say, further than this, — I do not think they would have allowed her to graduate.” I have quoted from this letter to show what everybody conversant on the Hill knows to be true (although Torsey may say the trustees voted the diplomas; he may say this, that, or the other for an excuse that he t I £ * i �I THE CROWN’ WON' BUT NOT WORN. 119 did not know whr.t the faculty would do), that Torsey’s power i unlimited, in or out of the school, in regard to everything pertaining to the whole arrangement. lie had the whole power in his own hands, and could and did do just as he pleased with my poor girl. Had he adopted a course which would have saved her, it would have been sanctioned and agreed to by the other members of the faculty. At the bottom* of one of the letters from which I have made quotations I find the following : — •‘P. S. — A sZy, subtle, vindictive person can do almost anything to carry his point, under the cloalc of religion, and, at the same time, be sustained by a clique or sect.” This is exactly my opinion of the man ; and, if my poor girl was living, she would say that his treatment of her had proved him to be such a man. Having quoted largely from letters and other writings, without giving the writers’ names, in most cases unnecessary to the public, I wish for all who shall read it, fully to understand that I have, in every ease, quoted the exact language of all, both letters and other writings; and that I have and shall keep each aud all on tile; and that I have not made a quotation from a single letter marked private or confidential. Will Dr. T.. or any who dealt with her, yet come out openly and attack her previous good character It would seem rather strange aud incredible for Torscy, or any other member -of the faculty, the steward or his wife, at this late day, to make any such attempt; when, during all those five years, with my other three daughters, who have been there from one to two terms each, while I or Mrs. Greene have been on the Hill, to take them to, from, and to see to them there, from six to ten times yearly, stopping from one to three days each,— and one time Mrs. G. was there over three weeks, during the sickness of two of the girls, — no complaint had ever reached us from Torsey, any other member of the faculty, the boarding-master or bis wife, that Louise or the other girls had been remiss in lessons, disobeying rules of .the school, or in any way that they had behaved unbecoming as students at their school. No, not a word of complaint had ever reached us from them by any other person or student but what all four of our girls were well-behaved at the Hill, until twelve o’clock at night, May 23, 1866, and, like a thunderbolt, that report struck us to the heart! None can tell the awful shock but those who received it. It will ill become them ‘ at this late day’ to complain to the public, while during those live years they could find nothing worthy of the least complaint to her parents, who should have been informed aud con­ sulted at the time if she was at fault. In view of all the evidence of her / i 1 �I 120 (■ THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. good standing at home and elsewhere, and the absence of any complaints against her up to this time, I will let the public draw their own conclu­ sions, only saying, that, although they tried to make her account for all the little things lost during the term up to the time she left, they cannot hold her responsible for Mrs. Grover’s money, which they pursued and took from Miss M.; also, the wallet and money of Mr. Gower, a student; a music-book, and lots of hats, and other things, which were lost there soon after Louise left. Dr. Torsey admits to us in that faculty meeting one fact, which all who knew her will endorse, when he says, “ Your daughter, although in rags, with her open and frank countenance, and her lady-like manners, will find friends wherever she goes ; any one will take her in ” (he should have excepted himself). This shows at once that deception or dishonesty was no part of her nature. It is not strange, therefore, that she should be misunderstood and misjudged by those who we believe have practised deception, and understood that art so long and well. An eminent writer has said, “ What the world wants is not honesty, but acquiescence.” Without fully subscrib­ ing to that sentiment, that idea has been .plainly illustrated, I think, on Kent’s Hill. Acquiescence in the decision and opinions of the faculty would have covered a multitude of sins. Louise knew full well their power and disposition to crush all who should attempt to say anything in palliation or excuse for her, as she wrote to her sister, “ It will be useless for you to say anything in excuse or palliation; it will break you down; bend beneath it.” She foresaw the course they would pursue towards her sister if she tried to defend,her; she knew how they had pursued her about hearsays aud'little things. She w'ould, doubt­ less, if she could, say to her parents, for any defence you may make for me, that faculty will pursue, harass, and try to break you down. It has been said that the article written by one of the officiating clergymen at her funeral, who was assisted by a prominent citizen of Peru, and pub­ lished in the “ Loyal Sunrise” of Nov. 23,1866, was untrue, and the position therein assumed, in saying “ her enemies were relentless,” was wrong. I can only say that those gentlemcn.had access to all the communications between Dr. T., myself, Louise, her writings, and various letters from her class, and other students, and that they came to the conclusion that such a course as all this indicated towards her and her family did not look like the actions of friends. I will state, for the information of the faculty, trus­ tees, and that committee of students, that neither I nor any member of my family knew anything about the article that appeared in the “ Sunrise ” of January 11, 1867. i I If >■ �I THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 121 Let me recapitulate and sum up some of tbeir proceedings, and the treat­ ment Louise, her sinter, and her parents have received at the hands of tins faculty and those under them, and then judge whether this is the action of friends or enemies. Monday night they say something to her about the clothing. Tuesday Mrs. Daggett and Miss Case enter, unbeknown, and search their room, then go into an examination. She explains. They closely search and open all her things ; that little fancy box or trunk, holding about a quart, could not be exempted. They, when exhausted in their accusations, call in Mr. Daggett to assist them. She frankly tells them all the whole truth, as she says in her class letter: “ I told them the truth as near as I could in my distracted state of mind.” She did not deny a word, — refunds. But these, some say, friends were not content; they must disgrace her sister, also. They proceed up to and into Dr. T.’s part of his house (as I sup­ pose, to report progress’, and to get further instructions), then enter C'hestina’s and Miss Reed’s room. They tell her L.’s confession and all, repre­ sent that she had lots of marked and unmarked articles in her room, trunk, and drawer, and say what an awful thing it is ; then ask to, and search her trunk and all her things. Are they content? Not yet. They ask her if there is not another trunk kept there. Was this not trying to make them or L. account for all the articles lost at this term? Was this like the action of friends to my girls, withoi# knowledge to me, and without authority, to enter Miss Reed’s and my daughter’s room, —a room as sacred to them ; a room where they had rights as well as you, kind reader, have in your own quiet domicile, where no ruthless hand has a right, without due process of law, to enter and overhaul at will? They may say that they asked leave of these students to do this, that, or the other thing. What students would dare to deny under such circumstances? They find nothing, but tell her sister all in the worst form. Mr. Chandler, who comes home with C. that night, knows it all in an exaggerated form, as told by Miss Case and D. Mr. Swaglcs, a boarder with Dr. T., tells L. lie knows all, Wednesday, on the stage. They leave her alone that night, although Miss Daggett and three lady teachers board in the same building. They have no friendly word to say to her, no advice to give. They do not approach her lonely room to see if she does not desire some friendly act, some friend sent for to read or pray with her. They all knew she was in trouble. Was it be­ cause they were afraid they should displease Dr. T., or was it, as he said, because “ she was under censure”? Would it disgrace them? Do the ’ teachings of Christ appear in those professed followers? She, as it J �122 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. were, with her brain on lire, walks her lonely room through that night. She writes in her letter the next day: “ I tried to read my Bible last night, but could not,” thus showing a partial derangement, a wretched state of mind. Does this look like the action of Christians or friends in those who had known her so long? Torsey takes her alone the next morning, and has a long conversation with her. He appeals to her to know what she wants done. She says : “ I want it kept from the school, — to stay and graduate.” He tells her the school knew it; that she had better leave that day. Will he deny this? He tells Miss Reed so, aud that L. further said, “If she • could not graduate, there was no future for her.” lie tells Chestina “ it would not have been best for her to have goue on to the stage,” etc. If he had not desired her to leave, or if he had wanted her to have graduated or been willing for her to, would he have answered Chestina as he did ? Would l.e have said it would not have beeu best for her to have goue on to the stage? She would have been pointed out as the girl that Stole. He could not help letting it out to her sister that he meant everybody should know her con­ fession about the money. If he had desired her to have stopped and grad­ uated, his answer to C. would have been : Yes ; she could have graduated. I wanted her to, and if we can get her back, she can now. In two weeks after she left, he tells Roscoe Smith, who lived then near me, as he (Smith) tells me in the presence of others, that Torsey told him in presence of others, that when L. made the request to have it kepi from the school, and she stay and graduate, he told her the school knew it. She writes soon as she leaves the Hill, after failing to see her sister before she left, that Dr. Torsey “ in­ formed me this : that I had better leave to-day. ‘ Not expulsion,’ he said; ‘ we won’t call it that; but I advise you to go home.’ Practically, is amounts to the same thing, however. How I feel, God only knows ; yon never can,” etc. Mr. Smith further said that Dr. T. told him and others, at the time above referred to (he then pretended to think she was living), all about her confession, and other things in that last and private conver­ sation, aud further said if either was crazy, it was her mother. With the letters he has written me, does the reader see any friendly band in all those proceedings? Will any parent believe for a moment,’ if this was their case, their child, that all those proceedings were the acts of friends? Would friends have reported her private confession to disgrace her? She had done all she could to deserve forbearance. In God’s name were they not doing all they could to ehagriu and mortify her sister in the house of the princi pal of this school, — to disappoint, distract, and break the heart of L. ? Does that long string of written misrepresentations of Professor Robinson, which 4 I r �it TIIE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 123 ho calls fads, look like the actions of a friend? He says: “ At the request of the faculty Mr. Torsey called to see Miss G. and talk with her about"the matter.” He does not say why or what they requested him to see or talk with her about. Again he says: “No intimation was given her that she must leave the school, —that she could not graduate. Mr. Torsey expressly said to her that if she left, it would not be on account of any action of the faculty.” (What whoppers ’) Does any one believe she was seeking to leave in disgrace? See the sworn statements of Miss Reed, C. S. Greene, Louise’s letter, Mr. Smith’s statement. Query: For what did the faculty request T. to call to see L. ? She had confessed, explained all, refunded the money. She had but two weeks longer to remain. She was feeling bad enough. If she was the bad girl they now would have people believe, did they expect to reform her in two weeks, if no intimation was to be given her about leaving, oi' that she could not graduate? I repeat, why did the faculty request him to call and talk with her about the matter? Oil, could she speak, then we should know what further he said to her, — what the fac­ ulty sent him to her for other than advising her to leave that day, and say­ ing “ we won’t call it expulsion.” (It is expulsion, but I will deceive, dissemble, withhold the real fact, won’t call it what it is, what you and I understand it to be.) Why is all this prevarication? All this does not look like the actions of friends. To me and to my family it looks like the doings of some unfriendly hands, enemies, and relentless ones, too. Would a friend have written me as Dr. T. did, June 30, 1866, — not answering my one question, but putting a half dozen insulting questions to me, and then adding this threat, “ Such reports as these may oblige us to state the facts publicly ” ? Again he writes me, July 11, 1866, again asking questions about flying reports of what he has heard that I and Mrs. Greene have said to certain persons, ami then adds, “ You know she stole money and can find no one that will tell you I ever brought the matter before the school.” And then advising a double lawsuit in those words, “By bringing a ease of libel or slander, followed on our part by a prosecution for malicious prosecution and for slander.” Had I given him any cause for those insulting letters? The reader can judge, as I have laid before them every letter and word I have written him since L. left, they being only two in all; and I have kept a copy of all the letters I have written him since Louise first went to that school. I know whereof I speak, and that 1 have not given him cause thus to insult and abuse me. Would a friend at this time, when 1 had spent five weeks from home in this sad and fruitless search to find any reli­ able trace of our child; my wife prostrate after she makes one trip with r �1 I THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. mo, and, despairing of ever finding her, takes her bed ; my children in the greatest distress and commotion watch for some tidings of the missing one, they needing all my care ; but duty and anxiety for the lost one kept me away as long as a possible chance or hope remained. Yet, on two occa­ sions when I did reach home, I found those letters before named, from this pompous, bigoted, overbearing, and heartless man. Was this sympathy, or was it not to awe me into silence at the fear of his publicly disgracing my once lovely girl who had fled in dismay before his power? Judge ye which. Would a friend have disregarded the warning, of Miss Reed and Chestina about her probable destruction, and the earnest wish to have some one pursue her to Lewiston, as they had requested Harriman to do ? Why did this head man, — the only one fo order and direct on the Hill—parley, hesitate, argue and thus try to quiet their fears ; why put it off from twelve to six o’clock, after he knew where and how she had gone? (I know he has said he thought best to wait until after the stage returned from the depot, at four, to see if the conductor could tell whether she stopped at L. or not.) This would be very uncertain,—a most miserable excuse for delay. She should have been pursued regardless of where she should stop. Would he have thus delayed if it had been his own child? Although I cannot recall the past or recover our daughter, whom we took so pure, so innocent, in 1861 to Kent’s Hill and put under the charge and protection of this “ Rev. H. P. Torsey, LL.D., the President” of that religious institution, should we — after the long years we kept her there, after her suffering and death, under the circumstances of this sad case, with the disposition those who dealt with her show to disgrace her memory and to injure the feelings of parents and friends,— should we bear it all, and the thousand misrepresentations of what she was guilty go uncorrected ? I believe it to be a duty from which I cannot escape,— a duty I owe to her memory, to myself and family, to her numerous friend, and to the public,— to state all the facts of this case which have come to my knowledge, and leave all to judge whether my daughter and family have been fairly used by those who control that insti­ tution. I, as I told Torsey in that faculty meeting, should not dare to trust another child to his care. When we consider how liable the young are to step from the strict path of rectitude, and know not how great the temptation may be, if for the first offence, for five dollars (God only knows the real cause why it was done), frank acknowledgment ami private restoration are made, should they make such woful work, such hasty reports, pursue to such extent, give her such advice, neglect her, and delay to notify her friends till too late to save her, till she had time to get beyond our reach? When we consider ’f I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. I 125 how many in early life and some in mature years have done something or caused others to do as bad, as the taking of five dollars, and all has been quietly kept with those alone who necessarily knew it, — they being usually well-disposed persons, who have in afterlife made first-rate men and women, have been an ornament to society and done much good in the world; whereas exposure might have ruined them forever; — surely “ kind words can never die,” and may be productive of much good. Was there any good reason if all was true, for putting the worst construction upon this, her first offence? Should they not have used every means to keep the matter private, made the best of it, allowed her to graduate, or at least quietly and immediately notified her friends before intimating to her what the result would be? She had a right to be heard by counsel; we bad rights and should have been notified early in the trouble. I had paid them money enough to put them under some obligations; they owed some con­ sideration to so old a student (of five years). She had lost enough there to have entitled her to some forbearance. They may say that they could not have kept it from the school; tliey seem to have power to keep the taking of money and other articles by other students quite still. Who took Mrs. Grover’s ten dollars and five cents? But few knew it, and less know who took thirty dollars, the hats, and music-book since L. left. They have a good faculty to keep what they choose from the school and the public. How much have they said about those sixty articles that Louise lost at the last term at the college? In God’s name do not, for the sake of truth and justice, ever again represent that L. confessed in her letter that she stole even unmarked articles of clothing, when she distinctly in her letter to her sister says: “ I had no intention of stealing them ; for every article I took I had lost one in the wash, and put those on in their stead, expecting before the term was done to find my own. There was some sort of necessity-for this. For instance, I came to the college with three or four good whole drawers; to day as I ride away I have none. Was it so strange tliat I should put on others also unmarked in their stead ? ” In her class letter referring to the unmarked articles she says: “ But if my own garments had not come by the close of the term, I should have left those where I got them, in the wash.” She further says: “I can feel myself guilty of but one crime, the taking of the five dollars.” There is no con­ fession of stealing clothes at all. What a reward for her frank confession did she receive by those who dealt with her 1 Here I wish to put a question to the good judgment and common sense of all. If my girl had been a pilfering, thieving person, or a loose character, one who had been caught �126 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. in mean things, had got herself out,-by deception or otherwise, of dirty scrapes, would she have laid this so in ich to heart, take so much blame to herself, and think she h.i I disgrace I herself and frien ds, think her parentsan 1 friends would not forgive and be willing to receive her; that the Saviour was an iron door to her, shut and bolted ; that God would not hear or forgive her in this or the world to come? And was not Miss Case too bad in trying to impress upon her the enormity of the crime, and was not Torsey trying to do the same thing, when he, as be writes me, says, “My talk with her was about going to God and to you with the whole matter ” ? Again he writes: “I had a long conversation with her the morning she left, and urged upon her two things, first, that she go to Jesus with the whole matter, making this sad event the beginning of a humble, earnest Christian life ; and second, that she go at once to her father and mother, telling them all.” Now I appeal (to her confused and distracted mind) if this was not making her believe that she had committed so terrible a crime as to get down to a mere nothing before God and her parents to ask pardon, and that she leave the school in disgrace, tmd go at once to her father and mother telling them all; as though she had committed a heinous offence, a great crime, so much so, that she must go at once to them. How could she graduate? No delay would answer. If this was necessary, how do you suppose she thought he, Torsey, looked upon her crimes? This in my opinion was just what he meant, and did bring her to see herself when he advised her to leave, and bow much mercy do you suppose she could expect from him? Do you wonder that she writes, “heart breaking” as he left her? One has asked, what reason existed why they should desire to disgrace her, to send her away, and thus rob themselves of one of their best scholars at the approaching commencement? I answer, what good reason had he to refuse her reasonable request, and turn her out of his house noth threats? Did he give her or me a sufficient reason? Did it not plainly show that'it was at least in part because he disliked her friend, who had left his school, and, as Louise writes, because she and her folks were not right on the goose ? It is clear to me that he was carrying into execution his threat, “ if she should do anything that looked like a wilful violation of any rule, she could expect but little forbearance from the faculty.” Yes, that man and this faculty knew that she was not with them heart and soul as be expressed it; that after she graduated, not by word or pen would they receive from her aught but condemnation of the narrow and bigoted course they had pursued towards her and others who did not think as they did, and that this faculty was human and liable to err. Disgrace would destroy her in­ fluence. Iler talent for writing they might have feared. JI A �r— THE CBOWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 12? In reply to the report and misstatements made by A. <T. Blethen, E. M. Smith, A. W. Waterhouse, Margie Ilouschild, Nellie A. Wing, an 1 Mary E. Deering, acting as and purporting to be a committee of students chosen May G, 18G7, at a chapel exercise, after they had requested their teachers to withdraw; I say to this committee and to the public that, after a care­ ful perusal of’this pamphlet, they will find that I have produced evi­ dence and circumstances which will satisfy the impartial reader that most of the positions assumed in their preamble and resolves, and the statement therein made by this committee are refuted and shown to be untrue, while they were putting them before the public as “ facts,” of which they say, “ many of us were personally acquainted with the circumstances; ” when in fact they did not have any personal knowledge of what they' state. They’ go on to assert what was “ utterly false,” and with great boldness resolve what “ is truthful.” The reader will see that the doings of these students were a short time before the graduation of some of them, and to get into the good graces of this faculty, of which Torsey is chief, — and in fact as many students have expressed it, — Dr T. is the faculty. I know and have seen enough to believe those students Lave it about right. Favor­ itism had much to do I believe in their overmuch zeal to acquit and putf Dr. T., while they make up such a string of misstatements against an .old school-mate, one whose reputation and standing was as good as their own for five long years at that school, and send them broadcast over the State to disgrace her memory, and injure the feeling of her friends, while she sleeps in death and can make no reply. Is not Dr. Torsey able to make his own defence? The public may think it would have been as well to have let the faculty have had all the honor of pursuing their dead pupil. Torsey and others may say they knew nothing of this action of the students, he being away, etc. But I know this old angler so well, who knows how to throw his line and cover the hook, that I believe he knew just what would be done in his absence and how it would be accomplished. There are always enough who wish for favors to keep him quietly’ posted. Who believes that the other teachers did not know what was to be done when they left the hall? What right had students to remain after service if the cause was not known to, and permission given by the teachers? On reception of the action of this committee through the public journals, I addressed the fol­ lowing note to each member of this committee, under date, of June 7, 18G7, addressing each respectfully as follows : — “ As y’ou appear before the public as one of the committee who have made numerous statements in regard to my’ daughter’s leaving the college at Kent’s Hill, and as you state them to be facts, and that you were person- 1 ■4 �128 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. ally acquainted with the circumstances, and that you do so to correct false and groundless statements, please inform me what personal knowledge you have of what Messrs. Torsey, Daggett, his wife, and Miss Case said or did to Louise, or what they did not do or say? “ Please stata how you know that the crime was not known to any member of the faculty, until many of those otherwise connected with the school knew it; and that Torsey notified me to be in Lewiston before any morning train left; that the teachers did not know nothing of the matter until others were in possession of every circumstance; that, by the President, never has a single act of unkindness been manifested towards any student; and that Louise was not expelled from the school? “ Yours, respectfully, “Jonas Greene.” ii Is there anything disrespectful in this letter? Certainly not, the reader will say; and believing, as I do, that three-fourths of their statements were entirely false (and knowing some of them to be so), that this was a wicked and uncalled-for attack on our dead child, I was under no obligations to write them; but as I did not know but some one of this committee might be in possession of one fact, at least, of what they state they had knowledge of, and as I have spared no pains to obtain every fact possible, being very desirous of getting at the whole truth. As there was one ungrammatical sentence in those letters, my friend, to whom I showed them, and pointed out this sen­ tence, and the reason why I put it in, will smile to see how one of those sprigs of learning, Mr. A. J. Blethen, for the reason that he’ could not answer any of my questions, he having assisted in publishing as facts that which he knew nothing about, snapped at this bait and for his answer, wrote over the top of my letter these words, — “ Should advise a careful perusal of English grammar,” and returned it to me, evidently as an insult. He has put forth statements as facts, and could not give me a civil answer; how does he know a single one of them to be true ? I advise him, and the other four members of this committee, who have made no reply to my anxious but respectful request, to let Dr. Torsey, and the others who are implicated in this sad affair, take care of their own reputation, while he and his associates had better be attending to their own business. Modesty should have prevented her own sex, at least from appearing before the public to disparage her memory, and wound the feelings of her friends. �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 129 From A. W. Waterhouse, one of this committee, I received a respectful note, but entirely failing to answer any of my questions. He says: — “ With regard to statements made by the committee, of which I was a member, I will simply say, we endeavored to state the simple truth; nothing more, nothing less. As to explanations, which you ask, I refer you to the statements as printed. You cannot blame the students and friends of Dr. Torsey for wishing to have a fair statement of the case before the public.” »r What fair statement have you spread broadcast over the State? Simply this. You have repeated Torsey’s and the others’ statements to clear themselves, without asking or trying to find out a single word of what the friends of Louise knew or had to say in her defence. Not a word as to his or their knowledge does this member of this committee give me as to how they know what they published as facts, to be true. He does not answer one of my questions, but refers me to what they have printed ; as much as to say, — you must take what we have said as true because Dr. T. has told us so! Does that make a clear case for the party implicated to say he is innocent? They quote from L.’s letter with a relish where it tells against her; while nothing is said about any part of the letter where “ H. P. Torsey, LL. D., the President,” is implicated! The public will at once see where they desire the whole blame to rest. As I have before said, fear or favoritism predominates on the Hill, and their reward came speedily, as this committee of six took one-third of all the prizes awarded to that whole school at their closing exhibition. From the other four members, I got no reply. As I have spoken of a certain denomination usually talcing sides with the faculty, and showing a great desire to apologize aud to clear them from blame (no doubt but what’there are many exceptions), let me give the reader a sample how some of their leading members have met this sad case. In October last, while I was at Lewiston for the remains of my daughter soon after they were discovered, and there waiting for the coroner to return, as he was absent, — as I intended to have a j;ost mortem examination, to ascertain the immediate cause of her death, — while I was slowly pacing the sidewalks in sad and solemn thought, a stranger approached, and asked a question or two, and then said, “ Is this Mr. Greene, of Peru, who has lost a daughter?” And on receiving an answer in the affirma9 �130 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. tire, he said, in substance, “ I am one who do not visit the taverns or stores much ; I usually stay at home ; but have heard that much has been said about your daughter’s leaving the school at Kent’s Hill; and many arc disposed to blame Dr. Torsey very much, while others may think differently. But I am oue who wishes to see justice done, — do not take sides or part in street controversies.” Thus he continued in a cool, sober strain, for some time, I making but little reply, as I was feeling very bad. But thinks I, who is this cool, fair-talking stranger? He soon said, “We are to have an investigation, and if T. is to blame, let it be known; let him take the consequences; if otherwise, let him be acquitted; let justice be done, and have the matter cleared up; ” or words to that effect. I began to think that all this fair talk meant something. Just as we were about to part, I looked at him and said, “ Sir, although a stranger, I hope you are willing that justice shall be done to the memory of my poor, dead girl ?” He said, “ Certainly,” or words to that amount. As we were passing along, he said, “ I might as well say, that I am one of the trustees of that institution. My name is S. R. Bearce, of this place.” In a moment I thought I could see the whole length and breadth of him. • I knew just where he would end, if this conversation was continued. I knew naught of him ; but knew he must be a Methodist. He talked quite freely. I asked him some questions about the trustees. I said, “ Then Torsey is there by your (the trustees) authority? ” “ Yes,” was his reply. You control the whole matter, — do you ? ” (Meaning the general management and supervision of that institution.) His answer was, “ That is the purport, or our right; but w’e leave most all to Dr. Torsey. We do not have much to do, except in such a matter as this.” (Meaning the investigation spoken of by him, I suppose.) I asked him, — “when they proposed to investigate the matter? ” “ Oh I ” says he, “ when you have the inquest.” And said, “ I see by the paper that you are to have it to-day ; and I have written (he did not say he had sent for him) Torsey, and he will be here by noon to-day.” As we parted, thought I, “He was not a very disinterested stranger; and how did he know whom the coroner will see cause to summon before him as witnesses?” The coroner did not arrive that day; but those interested Kent’s Hillers (who never went one mile to my knowledge, out of their way; no, not one ~r r ! �I THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. V i .131 of them, to save my child, or in any way ever offered to assist me to find her) did come. Torscy, Mr. Daggett and his wife (and no doubt, if Miss Case had not gone home to New York, she would have come also) were prompt, and on hand, to testify and tell their story to clear themselves, without being called by the proper authorities willing witnesses in their own defence. AJittle more modesty would have made them appear as well. I waited until the next day (Thursday), and, as the coroner had not arrived, and as the time was fixed for the funeral on Sunday, and there was much to be done at home to carry out the arrangements, I was obliged to take her remains home, where I arrived with them on Friday evening. On Thursday forenoon, this sage and fair-talking S. R. Bearce, came into my brother’s saloon in Auburn, and asked about the inquest, and said, “ The coroner has got home” (which was not true), and said, “Torsey was there, but must go home at noon.” My brother, his wife, and some others were present. Mr. Bearce, my brother, and his wife began to talk about the cause and death of L. (I say but very little.)’ He (Bearce) again began in a seeming fair argument; but, as my brother’s wife said something in Louise’s defence, he (B.) then went on, stated the case, argued, and cleared T., in about two minutes, from all blame. He did not then, or at the other long interview on the street, ask me a single question, as to what I or my family knew of this sad case. The reader can see from whom he desired and did get his information, or how much he cared about “justice being done.” On his leaving the saloon, my brother, who was a stranger to him, says, — “ That is the man who so unceremoniously snatched that memoranda book out of my hands the other day, when I, with four others of L.’s uncles and aunts had just arrived at the spot where the remains of L. lay, and were trying to identify her. I had just taken this little book from her reticule, and was looking it over for that purpose.” At a later period, I learned that this man sent a team post-haste through to Kent’s Hill (where it arrived at midnight), to notify Torsey. This shows the great interest taken, when the reputation of Dr. Torscy, the school, and denomination is at stake. The public have seen in many of the papers of this State, the following statement, after the account of the anniversary exercises at Kent’s Hill, June 5th and Gtb, 1SG7 : “ By request of Dr. Torsey the trustees made a thorough investigation as to the conduct of the faculty in the case of the late Miss M. Louise Greene, and, as the result, they adopted resolutions and put them on file, entirely exonerating Dr. Torsey and the faculty from ... 1 �132 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. all blame, and fully approving their course.” Mark well the first point in this statement: “ by request, of Dr. T. ” Then it was not the trustees who instigated this examination. He desired to get before a committee of the trustees, and, with a long, sanctimonious face, tell his story, aud, backed by his special friends, he thought he could make them believe he was not to blame. He well knew I was not fool enough to appear at such a time and place before so one-sided a tribunal. As Dr. T. aud the faculty, by this published statement, stand fully acquitted, and the trustees’ committee are made to say they fully approve their course, the public are not informed how this was done. I owe to the memory of the dead, to myself and family, to show how this was accom­ plished ; how “ full and searching an investigation ” (as one paper reports this matter) could have taken place. On the 27th of May, 1867, I received a letter from F. A. Robinson, informing me that there would be a meeting of the trustees of that insti­ tution, June 5th, at ten o’clock A. M., “at which time the course of the faculty with reference to your ’daughter will be investigated by a com­ mittee chosen for that purpose. The faculty invite you to be present, and to prefer any charges you have to make against them, or to make any statement you wish to present.” To which I replied, May 28, as follows : — “Prof. Robinson: Sir, — Yours of the 28th is received and contents noticed. You name the time but not the place of the meeting of the trustees. From whom and by whom are the investigating committee to be chosen ? ” To which he replied, May 29, as follows: “ The place of holding the meeting is in the seminary building, Kent’s Hill. The committee will be of the trustees, and, of course, appointed by them. At an informal meeting held at Bath a few weeks since, the gentleman were indicated to constitute the committee.” He gave the names of five of the trustees as that committee. On the receipt of this, I, May 31, answered as follows : “ On the receipt of yours of the 27th, inviting me to an investigation of the course of the faculty in reference to my daughter, in answer to my inquiries of the 28th inst., asking you from whom and by whom are the investigating committee to be chosen, I never was more surprised in my life, than, on the receipt of your answer of the 29th, to think, in a matter of so great and vital importance to me and my family, that you should so coolly inform me that the trustees have appointed that committee from their own members, and that the meeting should have been appointed in such a place and at such a time. I wish you to say to Dr. Torsey that if he chooses to proceed I f 1 �5 ! THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. y / h~ I ' 133 iu this sad and heart-rending case in that manner, self-respect forbids me to take any action before a committee which I have no voice in selecting.” If the object of this investigation was really to bring out all the facts possible in this sad case of the departure and death of Miss Greene, and to ascertain if Dr. T., or any one connected with the care and control of that institution, was in any way to blame, and to satisfy the friends of Miss G., and the public, who, to some extent, to say the least, believe that a great wrong was done by some one, then every possible means should have been taken to give her parents and friends a fair hearing. An entirely disinterested committee should have been selected ; a proper time and place should have been agreed upon ; all parties should have had ample time to prepare for the hearing. Then the public would have placed con­ fidence in their decision. It would have allayed the excitement. My objection to the committee was that they all were members of the trustees, directly interested to sustain their teachers and the school. The trustees consist of twenty-six gentlemen, scattered over the State, most of them belonging to the Methodists, and selected as interested persons, who are expected to work for th‘e interest of this school. Two of those trustees belong to, and are the leading spirits of that faculty, namely, H. P. Torsey, and F. A. Robinson, who is a brother to Torsey’s wife. The reader will now see how this matter stands. Dr. T. and some of his associates are accused of dealing under prejudice, unjustly and wrongfully, with an old student laboring under public censure. This man (who, by reference to their annual catalogue you will see, stands at the head of the list of Trustees as President) seeks to clear himself. He goes to his friends to their annual State Conference holden at Bath. He there makes a smooth speech, wherein he alludes to this affair. He has well matured what he wished to say, to arouse the whole conference to defend and sus­ tain the reputation of that school. After alluding to attacks which some would make, or had made, of this affair to injure this school, he, in substance, says, speaking to the conference, “ This school is your school; its reputa­ tion is yours to sustain and defend.” Wasn’t this well put to the members of that conference, who were to go forth to their respective appointments, and each would be expected to work for this their pet institution? The reputation of their school is at stake, — his reputation is at stake, — and this cunning old fox expects that, through this conference of ministers, the members, on their respective charges, will also labor for the school; and, when they do that, they must also sustain him and his reputation. The public will see whether I am correct or not. Robinson says, at an informal meeting held at Bath a few weeks since, “ The committee was i J �134 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. indicated.” It is fair to suppose that this informal meeting took place soon after this speech of Torsey’s ; and it is also fair to suppose that he or his special friends managed to get such a committee as he wished selected. As this gentleman, S. R. Bearce, of whom I have before spoken, was one of this committee, I could not expect justice from him, who had given so hasty and decided au opinion in advance of any trial; and, further, as one of the leading members of tUs committee had already appeared, through a public journal, in a lengthy article in Torsey’s defence, aud the manage­ ment of this institution. My objection to the time and place was, that it was on the day of, and one hour after, the anniversary exercises were advertised to commence; w hen and where it must be all excitement and hurry for the next two days, — when and where the very air is tainted with and every breath is expected to be blown for Torsey and this institution. Some of their friends have given this as a reason or excuse for their neg­ lect to look after and take care of my daughter, because of the approach­ ing anniversary, two'weeks ahead, — that the faculty were so much engrossed in preparation for the same. In one year they invite me to an investiga­ tion just as the opening exercises commence, when the time of the faculty must be nearly all taken up in the performances. All must see that they, the faculty, meant no such searching investigation as is reported that they had. I must have occupied two days, at least, to have fairly presented my case to the committee. Was this a proper time’to investigate the cause of the death of my child? Was this a public or private investigation? By the notice I received I supposed it was to be public. I am informed by one who . made numerous inquiries that day, on the Hill, of various students and others, about such a hearing, that he found but one person, and that was a lady student to whom I had written about the meeting, who had any knowledge that such an investigation was to be had ; and by the way this man Torsey, — who pretends and testified before this committee how long it was before he knew L. had gone so publicly on the stage as to be seen from the college to get on to it at ten o’clock in the forenoon, in front of his house, and who was so indifferent or undecided as to wait until six o’clock at night before any one started to notify me,— could watch and know that this lady student had received a letter from me, and was so impertinent as to go to this student (who was to graduate the next day, and just then would feel a great hesitancy to deny his request), and ask her for that letter, which he took immediately and read before this committee, as I am informed. It is evident that he did not understand the reason of that letter being sent her at that time. I leave him to enjoy all the credit which he will gain in that trans- » f I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. .V ■ 135 action. At the special time and place, and when the trustees and com­ mittee were assembled, one gentleman present, on motion and by vote, was allowed to remain while the investigation proceeded ;tlic other gentle­ man was questioned as to who he was, where he belonged, and what his business was there. A motion was made to exclude him; but, before that motion was put, it was suggested that the motion had better not be put, as the gentleman would understand and would withdraw without being voted out. This gentleman then said he understood this to be a public meeting; if so, he should remain ; if private, he would withdraw. They said many other things about some other business to be done before they proceeded with the investi­ gation. At the suggestion of the trustees he finallj' withdrew. Subsequently at about six o’clock at night he was notified that he could attend at that ad­ journed meeting. Query: Was this a public or private investigation? Twill call it mongrel. But this gentleman tells me it was certainly intended to be private. With Torsey and his special friends as witnesses, what other result and report could the public expect than what has appeared in some of the public journals ? To what extent this has allayed the public feeling, and relieved Torsey and his associates from blame, I am unable to say. To show the unfairness of this transaction, suppose I had selected a committee of my friends, .nd had appointed some public day for a hearing at my house in Peru, and then, about one week before the hearing, notified Torsey to be present, and make such defence for himself and associates as he chose, in regard to their doings and my daughter leaving the school. How would he and his associates have treated such r proposition? But I am aware that the trustees may say “ Mr. Greene was no party to this transaction. We were only investigating the doings of our teachers or faculty at our school. One of our members wrote and invited him to be present, etc. He has no right to complain of our action.” If they choose to treat this matter (the cause of the death of my child) in that way, they can do so. I can only say, if this was their case they might look upon such action in a different light; they might think this was treading on delicate ground. You are interested to sustain this school; you were selected as such to work for and to sustain its reputation; and when you attempt to investi­ gate the cause of my child fleeing from your principal, and to an untimely death, you should do it fairly, and not rely upon your own faculty’s statement and other interested witnesses to fully justify and exonerate them in this sad case. There is not a member of ibis faculty or trustees, or an intelligent person in any community, who would refer the smallest matter in dispute to such interested referees. There is not v. lawyer to bo found so void of fairness as to advise a client to attempt or accept such a �136 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. proposition. It seems to me that Dr. Torsey’s course, in this attempt to clear himself, in so unfair and unjustifiable a manner, in so grave and ■wretched an affair, is enough to convince the public that he wofully wronged, and wickedly neglected to care for our child. If it was not so he would not have made such desperate efforts to clear himself from public censure. Was there anything done to save her? Oh I her bitter words in her letter: “ If I could have had an opportunity on the Hill to retrieve the past! If this thing had not been made common talk and public property, there might have been a future for me.” These words ought to wring in Torsey’s ears while he lives. He made this appear so to her. He says he told her the school knew it; and his urging her to go home in disgrace, to leave that day, — this, no doubt, is what she means by not having an opportunity on the Hill to retrieve the past. Again she writes: “ They tried to make me account for all the little things lost during the term.” When they, as Miss Case said they did, searched that little fancy trunk, holding about a quart, were they looking for articles of clothing in that ? Were they not trying to make her account for all the lost articles lost that term? and, were they not disgracing, abusing, and driving her to distrac­ tion, when they, as Mrs. Daggett told me, examined her person, and • the uuder-clothes she had on, so-far as to see that her chemise was? marked with her own name? Mr. Daggett admitted to me that, when he was called in to assist his wife and Miss Case in this examination (as I sup­ pose after they had exhausted their skill and abuse on my poor girl), he questioned her about two linenjiandkerchiefs; he would not say that he was cross and severe on her; but I have very good reasons to believe that he was severe beyond reason. In his testimony before the committee of trustees he would not say that he was not cross with her. Have they found those small articles which they wrongfully accused L. of taking, but did not find, after pursuing her and her sister to the shameful extent to which they did? -Why do Torsey and Robinson con­ tinue to harp about that skeleton key? They told us in that faculty meeting that they did not accuse her of using it wrongfully. She,, in her class letter, says: “ My having that key did look bad; but I do not believe that they really thought I used it wrongfully. I certainly never did.” When I called on Daggett to see that skeleton key, he and his wife said they never saw or knew anything about the key until L. left. The faculty said they said nothing personally to her about the key. but had told students, publicly, that if any of them should have in their possession such keys, and things should be lost, they would be suspected. Why lecture students publicly, if the having a skeleton key was an unheard- I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT KORN. r- 137 of event, and the keeping of one such a crime as to cause them to write continually about it to enlarge her crime? They well knew it is no uncom­ mon thing in this and other schools for students to have such keys. An old student at this school told me they should not have thought it any harm to have kept one as a curiosity; and yet, L. having one in her possession. . (although given to her by one of their own students, of which Mrs. Dag­ gett gave me the name of the giver) is spread abroad by Torsey and Robinson, both private and public, as a heinous offence, — a crime. They not only tried to impress upon her, this poor distracted girl, “the enormity of her crime” (Miss Case’s own language), but they try to “impress” tho public with the same. That key I have never been able to find. In that faculty meeting, one week after L. had left, and our fears were that she was dead, he (Torsey) seemed desirous to know what we were going to say about the matter, — thought it best for us to say but little in regard to the same. Yes; this unfeeling man thought we could lose our child in such a heart-rending manlier and say but little about it, while he and bis associates send broadcast over the State all kinds of stories. We must be­ lieve all they say, take all his insulting letters, let them connive to get up student committee’s reports and trustee committee’s reports, publish and send them over the State, and her friends not say a word. Does it look as Robinson writes, “ after as private an examination as possible,” when Chestina and Mr. Chandler, who came home with her, knew all; Mr. Swagler tells L. the morning she left he knew all; Miss Case takes all hei class, before L. left that morning, and tells them all; Torsey tells her that morning the school know it? Is it true that they kept it as private as pos­ sible, or was it not making it public ? I never accused him of publicly rep­ rimanding her before the school. This sly, cunning man has a different way, I think, to accomplish his ends. But his often and repeated denial of doing so has of late led me to think that something of that kind was done by him. I submit to the public if I have not shown him to have been her enemy for • a long time. At any rate, she looked upon him as such, and a revengeful one, too. Does not this pursuing their d,ead student, to disgrace her mem­ ory and to injure her friends, show that Louise well understood that man? Did she not understand his power and will to do, to accomplish his object? If anyone doubts his infallibility, then private and public indignation mustbe aroused against them. They are not content with the death of their pupil, who made immediate, full, frank confession and restitution, and atoned with her life for that small offence ; but even now it comes to me that they threaten, if I dare defend my child’s character from numerous mis­ representations set afloat, that they will further disgrace her memory and I �1 138 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. injure her friends. Therefore we or the public need not be surprised at any stories or any means they may take to accomplish that end. In the lan­ guage of their circulars, can “Parents feel assured that their sons and daughters will find here a safe and pleasant home ” ? Sarah Dow, one of L.’s class, tells me lately that Miss Case, the precep­ tress, on the morning of May 23, before Louise left, called all the class into her room in the college, and told them all about the affair, and said she could tell them now ; she had not had liberty to do so before. Then some­ body must have given her liberty to publish all to her class. Who but the faculty could do so, of which Torsey is chief ? This must be about the time T. was talking with L., and telling her the school knew it. Did Miss Case know that she would be expelled? It does look like that; or she would not have been telling all to them unless she was preparing them for that event, reporting all in such a manner as to make it look; as Miss Fuller expressed it, “ so large then to us.” It is clear to my mind that this one of the .leading spirits of the faculty then knew as well as Torsey that she would be expelled. The reader will see that, any way which they can explain it, they did not mean to spare her feelings or save her from disgrace. My poor girl knew it well. One other member of her class writes me, June, 1867, that Miss Case did, on that fatal morning, “ immediately after breakfast, call our class into her room ” (the quick eye of dur poor girl no doubt saw this movement, and quickly divjned her intention) ; ” and the principal object, she said, that she had, in calling us into her room, was to tell us her course in regard to the matter from the beginning, and also to tell that L. confessed the charges brought against her.” Then her first object was to explain and clear herself. (The others were also very ready to do that.) The next object was to publish her private confession to all the class.' Why, in the name of all that is good and noble, did not this preceptress, who should have acted the motherly, or at least a friendly, part, and extend her protecting care over all she in part presides over, those whom she is directing and controling, — why, instead of making all so public and to explain her course to others, did she not, the evening before, go to my lone, distressed, and dis­ tracted child, and speak words of encouragement and comfort to her troubled mind, and give her kindly advice, to see if she did not want some assist­ ance? Benjamin Hamman told me, at his house on Kent’s Hill, May 26, three days after’ L. had gone, that just before he started for the depot with his coach, on which she rode away, he heard something of her trouble, and knew by her looks that she was feeling bad, although she tried to keep up J 'X- �1 THE CEOWN WON BUT NOT WORN. t" 139 favorable appearances, and saw she was clad in old apparel, and that she was taking nothing with her but a little reticule. His fears were excited for her safety, and while disposing, at the depot, of the baggage and CXpress matter, he thought he ought to get on to the train and go to see what became of her, but could not think of any one to take charge of his stage team. He thought he would gain time, and, if possible, before the train started, go and talk with her. Just as he got through, he started to go to her- on the platform. As soon as she saw him coming towards her, she turned and went directly into the cars, and, as they were about to start, he did not pursue. He then learned that she had purchased a ticket for Lewiston; and, on his return to the Hill, meeting Miss Reed on the street, she says, on speaking of her sudden departure without taking her baggage, and in her ordinary clothing, and fearing the sad result liable to follow, he was affected to tears,—he saying, at her request, that he would take a team and go with Chestina to Lewiston, in pursuit of Louise. If this arrangement or request of Miss Reed had immediately been put into execution (and I have no doubt but what it would have been had Dr. Torsey been out of the way, where he could not have been consulted), she doubtless would have been saved, as about three hours would have taken them to Lewiston, where Louise remained more than four hours at the Elm House after a team could have been started by Mi-. Harriman to pursue her. There can be but little doubt but Torsey’s influence prevented Miss Reed’s attempt to get a team started to pursue her. Miss Recd says, after the long and wretched delay, in which she and Cl|estina got all out of patience, heart-sick, in waiting - until six o’clock at night, when the team came to take Chestina home, she felt as if it was too late to save her; that before that team could reach me and I could get to Lewiston, she would get be­ yond our reach, or, what she more feared, would bo dead. An old student informs us at our home that Louise was once, in his and in the presence of the assembled school, at prayers, severely reprimanded by one of the faculty, because she did not rise during singing; and after she had given as a reason for not rising that she was sick and unable to stand up, he, with harsh and ungentlemanly language, calling her by name, sent her to her room. Louise had told her mother of the same, and said she felt so sick during prayers that she could not stand. This was some time during the last year of her stay at that school. Dr. Torsey, at one time after prayers, while lecturing the students, and in a slurring manner, called her by name in regard to some small matter about leave of absence, all tending to show their prejudice and desire to wound her feelings. The student above referred to told us of a case which, to Iris mind, was clear, w here I �140 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. Torsey, on account of the religious sentiments or opinions of a student, ■— an able writer, one who was excluded from, and was not allowed a chance to compete for, distinction in composition, on account of his well-known religious opinions, which came in contact with the established religion of this school, — a great outburst of indignation was expressed against an argu­ ment which this student made in their lyceum, on the affirmative of the question, “ Whatever is, is right." He was talked to and his arguments ridiculed. Ever after he was not allowed a fair chance as a writer or de­ bater in the school. Another student writes me, and among other things, speaking of Torsey, says: “ In fact, I do not admire his religious belief, neither do I admire the gentleman, not because of any particular individual misusage, but sim­ ply did not like his way of acting towards those who d*d not believe as ho would choose to have them. I noticed it on several occasions, and others with me in that manner of thinking. It is my private opinion that he has his favorites, and that those favorites are favored, though in a sly way.” Dr. Torsey is only a man possessed of human nature, and is as liable, when in a strait place, to dissemble and deny what he did do, as others have done to screen themselves from blame. If a guilty person says he is innocent, will that answer if all the circumstances point the other way? If a man threatens to burn your buildings, and he is proved to have been out and near your place the night they are burned, with materials to fire them, his denial will not clear him from suspicion. If you are aroused in the night by some one who has stealthily entered your house, you make a vigorous and successful spring at and finally overpower him; and if he sould say he was tired, cold, and came in to get .lodging for the night, would you believe him, if he was armed with a revolver, dirk, and other deadly weapons? Judge and jury would infer his motives, — he would be held as a burglar. I find, on the 23d of May, 1866 (after my daughter had for the past thirty-six or forty hours been implicated, harassed, and pursued by those under Dr. T.’s control and direction), Dr. Torsey taking her alone in a room in the college, and having a long conversation with her; and, on bis leaving her, I find her without saying a word to any other person in that building, immediately taking off. her gold sleeve-buttons, her class ring, breaking from her neck a small cord on which she had long worn that very little key which opened that fancy trunk, and evidently, at this time, hastily writing those words on the lap of an envelope, “ Heart breaking; dearly beloved, adieu,” and tucking them into her diary, which she left in n A; �XT I the CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 1 141 her trunk. I find her going to her sister’s room, in another house, in an excited state of mind. Failing to see her, she writes a short note, telling her she was going to Lewiston, etc. I find her leaving money in Her trunk, and going in her poorest apparel, taking notlung of importance with her. I find her taking the- stage in front of TorSey’s house, at ten in the fore­ noon. I find him in his stable, which is attached to his house. Before twelve he is notified just how she left, and the great fear of her destruction made known to him. I find him parleying, delaying, consuming time, — saying be could or would do this, that, or the other thing, but doing noth­ ing to recover her for eight long hours after her departure. I find him tell­ ing her sister it would not have been best for her to have gone on to the stage, etc., and telling Miss Recd that. L. said she wanted it kept from the school,—she stay and graduate, — and that she told him if she could not graduate, there was no future for her; thus plainly indicating to him her awful fate. I find him writing me various things about her leaving, telling us things inconsistent with what he has written, and withholding things from us, which he had told others, about her leaving. J find her writing her sister the daj* she left, that Dr. T. advised her to leave that day. I find him long before telling her she could not expect any more favors of him or of the school; and if she should do anything that looked like a wil­ ful violation of any rule, she could expect but little forbearance from the teachers. I find she had confessed, privately, to three of them, just what and all she had done, and the reason why she had done so, excepting the money, — she gave no reason for that. I find her writing that she felt her­ self guilty of but one crime, — the talcing of the money, — and saying that was a mystery to her. At length her wasted form is discovered. With all this, and many other petty annoyances, with his well-known prejudice, I have a right to doubt his, and the other inconsistent statements coming from that faculty. I, and the public, have a right to infer and judge, under all the circumstances of this sad case, what was most likely said and done which sent her to an untimely death. And when I find him writing me, May 27, 1866, four days after she left, “ I had a long conver­ sation with her the morning she left, and urged upon her two things.” After stating the first, he says, — second, “ that she go at once to her father and mother.” Does that look like allowing her to graduate, within twelve days, when he was urging her to go at once home to her parents, in disgrace? Who will say he expected her to return and graduate? And when he writes me, June 30, 1866, “ She was not sent home,”—he saw that was too bare faced a lie, and he erased the words “ sent home,” and wrote the word “ expelled” over them, making the sentence read, — “Sho I �142 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. was not expelled.” Judge ye. whether this statement is true! I cannot see it in that light, when she writes that he said, “ We won’t call it expulsion, hut I advise you to go home to-day.” What in the name of Heaven was he doing but expelling her? God being my judge, I believe he is attempting to palm off upon me an absolute falsehood. And can he make the public believe that he was honest when he told Chestina and Miss Reed that he had no fears of her destruction? Is he more dull of apprehension than many students who greatly feared for her fate as soon as they knew how she had gone? He who knew her best, hei' sensitive nature, knew all about how she had gone, has no fears, tells about her going into a factory or running away. O consistency I He is a sharp, shrewd man, and thinks he can readily read characters, discern motives, and quickly anticipate re­ sults. Don’t tell me he did or could not understand what would most likely be the result. Under all the circumstances and evidences, I have come to the following conclusion, and from which I cannot retract, un­ less some new evidence shall be disclosed: — That as he (Torscy) found that he could not control and mould her opinions, and as she would not consent to his infallibility, he became prejudiced against her, — her influ­ ence, religiously, did not suit him, she not being with them heart aud soul (as he expressed it),— this annoyed and perplexed him much; and now, when he found she was in trouble, he thinks, I now have a good opportunity. Miss Greene, I will make you feel my power. I will so manage as to make you see that you have no chance to graduate, without saying so in ’so many words. (I do not believe he ever told any student so ; he has a dif­ ferent way of accomplishing his purpose.) I will, when I get you to see the hopelessness of your case, advise you to leave. Before your parents know anything about your trouble, you will be far away, as they may make trouble. This will disgrace you, and will also punish your father for his plain and pertinent letter to me two years ago. You will live through it, I think, — he not caring or thinking but little what would become of her. After she had gone, and when he found just how, and all about her leaving, he, at a glance, saw the serious turn the case was taking, and the result that would be likely to follow; he was greatly perplexed to know how to manage, or what to say or do. Hence his pretence that he did not know she was gone for some time. Then he hesitates, argues, delays, goes away; comes again, and tells what he had arranged to do; and then there is another two or three hours’ delay before he puts that airangement into execution. He saw the fix he would be in if Harriman and Chestina had immediately pursued and been successful in secui-ing her return, or saving her life. She would have confronted him before her friends, and said, .r'~- �r 1 UTE CROWN WON' BUI NOT WORN. 143 ■“ Yon sent me away in disgrace, and why do you pursue me ? ” This meet­ ing her and her friends he wished to avoid. Hence his neglect to pursue her, and his long delay to notify me, so as to give her time to escape be­ yond the reach of friends, or that the result might be as it was, before any one could reach her and save her life. If her crime had been a hundred-fold greater, so much-greater the neces­ sity and the responsibility resting upon him. He discloses to us his wicked deception most when he tries to make students and-others believe he loved her, was tender of her feelings, aud felt bad about her misfortune and death, when everything showed to the contrary. This outward appearance he attempts for effect. So is his great effort to be particularly kind to the students since this awful tragedy. He knows his reputation is at stake, and he needs all the friends which he can make ; and I have no doubt but what many have been the favors that students have received on account of the suffering and death of our poor girl. This man has been at the head of that school so long that in my opinion he has become arbitrary and overbearing. Authority and power for a long time makes men so. If he is that good and noble man, that kind and Christ-like Christian, some would have the public believe, why does he pursue this vindictive course towards her parents ; why write me his insulting letters? It cannot be any­ thing that I have written him, for the reader has seen every word I have written him since L. left, in those two letters before given. Parents who shall read this, were it your child, should you be willing to bear all we have and not say a word? No, you would not only say, but you would have all you could do to keep your hands off of him. It may be with all those who dealt so summarily with L. on the Hill, that their character from child­ hood up could stand such an ordeal as they are applying to hers, and each and all come out unscathed; it maybe so, with that committee of students, and with Dr. Torsey; but a close examination might disclose the fact that all have not escaped having some unfavorable reports circulated about them, at some period of their lives. One of my neighbors (kindly, he may have thought) advised me not to come out and make any defence for my child; said that a Methodist min­ ister told his wife that they at Kent’s Hill had fifteen counts against her,— fifteen thefts as he took it to be; and I have no doubt but thousands are made to believe such stories. If that be true then I have over sixty just such counts against them, besides the cash, post-office stamps, clothing, and various other articles lost there during the five years and previous to those lost the last term. I sought through the press to give our child in death the benefit of her I �lI 144 THE CROWN WON.BUT NOT WORN. previous good character, by publishing those numerous certificates, and strong proofs of her ever good standing and moral worth from a child up to this sad affair, not saying a word about or blaming any one in regard to her leaving and subsequent death. A large portion of the press (as I believe for fear of losing the patronage of this Kent’s Hill influence and that denomination,) refused to publish those statements or certificates of her previous good moral character. The publication of those certificates in some of the papers seemed to stir up this faculty and their friends everywhere to fresh attacks on her character; they seem to act as if they thought their only chance to escape public censure was to stigmatize her previous character, enlarge upon her last act, and make her crime appear so large that, they would be justified in them treatment to her, and they take shelter under thdir cry of “ Thief, thief.” The refusal of so large a portion of the press to publish those certificates, and the publishing of the other side by some of the papers, leaves me no alternative but to seek some other source to reach the public, and vindicate her previous character, and to show the great wrongs done her while living, and since she fled from that institution. * The friends of Dr. T. may say as did the friends of Prof. Webster of Boston, in the Parkman murder case, — “ Oh! he is so nice a man ; his repu­ tation stands so high; he is clear; he never did that act. He says be did not, and denies all knowledge of the crime, — the whole affair ; and you ought to believe him. Why, Prof. Webster has not murdered, has not cut up, boiled, or burnt his victim’s remains. That is horrible! too bad to think of in this Christian land.” And people would look at each other with astonishment when some expressed their belief that it was true. Yet it was so. And this grave professor denied and lied at every turn in his case until he found he must swing for it. Then, he owned and confessed all. And so it has been in a thousand cases. None can tell what man pos­ sessed of- human nature will do under bad circumstances. The reader can never realize how grateful we feel towards those of her class who asked Miss Reed to go to Torsey and see what could be done ; and to Miss Reed, for her efforts and earnest desire to get Harriman and Chestina started immediately after her. And our abhorrence and contempt for this modem Nero, who could fiddle, play upon words to consume time, prevent pursuit, while our poor child, heart-broken, was fleeing from him (who then stood in the place of, and should have extended parental pro­ tection to her), from all that was dear to her on earth, and going to destruction. I can now, as it were, hear’ the moans, the sobs, coming up from that I r I I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 145 lonely forest, where our darling child so terribly perished. Her dying wail, saying to that heartless man, “ You saw me in great distress and you ministered not unto me ; you saw me in trouble, and you took me not in; you knew of my terrible disappointment, my heart-rending feelings, — for I told you I could not go home to my parents in disgrace. I told you if I could not graduate, there was no future for me. You advised me to leave. You sent me heart-broken to an untimely death, when you could have saved me. When you come v.p to the judgment-seat, where you and I shall stand around that great white throne, and before Him who kuows all things, will you then and there attempt to excuse yourself to the Judge of all, as you did to my parents, and say, ‘Your daughter was of age, and I had no right to control her; she was under censure, and it would be un­ proper to have sent her to my house and to my wife ’ ? ” Torsey and her other accusers on the Hill may have religion, but, I pray God to give me a different kind of religion, — a religion which shows some of the precept and examples taught by Christ while upon earth. In laying before my readers some of our departed child’s writing, permit me to state, that the first piece given was written by her when less than ten years old, the first she ever wrote, and then will follow others written all the way along from ten to sixteen, before she went to Kent’s Hill, with some written after and while she was attending there ; but as a large portion of her writings are lost there with her other things, .we cannot give some of her ablest productions to the public, unless they shall be restored to us. LIBERTY. Everything that God has made loves liberty. The little birds that sing so merrily to us, when deprived of liberty, lose their cheerfulness, and often pine away and die. The lambs that sport so gayly in the green fields, when confined, bleat piteously and seem to say, let me go; aud even the little worm that crawls beneath our feet, when confined to a narrow space, shows discontent. If liberty then be so dear to the animal creation, how much more so must it be to God’s intelligent beings 1 And how great must be the sin of those who deprive their fellow-beings of that liberty they so highly prize themselves, and also take away the key of knowledge that they may better subject them to bondage! HOW WE SPENT INDEPENDENCE DAY, 1857. Every one said Independence day would be pleasant; and so it was. Every one intended to enjoy themselves to the best of their ability, myself 10 �r 146 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. among the number. A thousand schemes for pleasure were proposed, and finally it was unanimously agreed that a visit to Rumford Falls would be just the thing, away from the bustle and confusion attendant upon a crowded celebration, away from the crowded street and the vulgarity and drunkenness that usually characterize such a miscellaneous gathering, to that scene of rural beauty. Accordingly six o’clock A.M. found us on our way to that delightful place, in company with a few of our intimate friends and school-mates. The day was warm and pleasant; the tall trees waved their leafy branches above our heads ; the tiny birds warbled their morn­ ing songs, and all nature seemed to participate in our enjoyment. After riding about eight miles, a loud rumbling sound gave notice of our approach to the cataract. Leaving our teams a short distance, we walked up to the very brink of the precipice which overhung the water, when a magnificent sight lay beneath our feet. The verdant hue of the overhanging trees • blended with the deep blue waters as they foamed and dashed down their rocky bed; the everlasting mountains that proudly rear their lofty heads in the distance ; the clear blue sky over our heads ; and the fancifully woven carpet of green grass spread out beneath our feet, — all these and many other attractions formed a picture worthy of a painter’s skill. Beneath the wide-spreading branches of a noble tree, where a spring of clear cold water bubbled up from the rock below to’ quench our thirst, we seated our­ selves to rest, and also to partake of the various refreshments provided for us. » After enjoying a quiet chat and a good lunch, we took a last look of that charming spot, and soon were rapidly travelling on the homeward way, stopping, however, a short time at the house of one of our number, where we were entertained with a feast of good things. The old family clock struck six as we arrived home again, and methinks in the future, when we look back upon the days that are past and gone, our minds will delight to linger upon the remembrance of that happy Independence day. LIFE: WHAT IS IT? What is life ? — to some, " a breath, A vapor flying to the skies; ” To others, a gay, fantastio path Bestrown with flowcry phantasies. What is life? — a dream to those Who idly stray until its end; A drcam, upon whoso final olose A sad awakening shall attend. I J f 1 1 �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 14.7 What is life ? — a journey long And drear, trhen travelled all alone, But vrhen companions cheer tho wny, Ono upon which wo long would stay. What is life? — a darksome night, With but ono star to light tho gloom, And on Death’s wing wo take our flight, To dwell ’ncath Heaven’s unclouded sun. Peru, Dec. 24, 1859. THOUGHTS BY THE WAYSIDE. “ O Mr. B., it seems too bad to cut down that clover,” said I to our hired man, one sultry summer day, as he was busily engaged in mowing down the fragrant clover that lifted its tall heads, crowned with beautiful blossoms in our little enclosure. “ Why ? ” queried he. “ Because it smells so sweetly and looks so pretty.” “ Its beauty will soon fade,” he replied, resuming his labor. I, too, turned again to my work, but his thoughtless words had awakened a train of thought in my mind; and in fancy I again beheld the counte­ nance of a lovely maiden with whom I associated in my early school-days, and whose history I well knew. Hers was a beauty of the regal cast': wavy hair of purplish blackness, flashing black eyes, a form of stately beauty, and fair, round face, every feature of which was cast in beauty’s mould. An enviable lot was hers; the only daughter of an aristocratic family, her wish was law ; her pleasure, their chief aim to secure. Petted and indulged by her parents, flattered by her associates, to her life must have worn a cheerful look, and earth a paradise. But soon the scene changed. Pecuniary embarrassments swept away her father’s fortune, and with it went most of their fashionable friends. Death came and removed one after another of that family band, till parents, brothers, all were gone. She was almost penniless and alone in a great city. Alas I too truly had she learned the mutability of earthly enjoyments; and, as I recalled the story of her misfortunes, I thought of the farmer’s words, “ It will soon fade.” Gone were her wealth and her numerous friends and relatives,—her earthly all, faded and withered beneath the sharp scythe of time. Again, I see a young man, his cheeks flushed with ambition of youth, and eyes sparkling at the thought of the future glory that should be his ; of the wealth he would gain and the fame that should surround his name with a halo of glory. Again I saw him in riper manhood; he had gained that emolument for which he toiled. Wealth had come at his call, yet it L 2 �148 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. brought increased cares. Ambition had raised him to an equality with great men of his age ; but it brought no real happiness. He was blessed with a model wife and family to sympathize with him in affliction and to rejoice at his joy; yet mingled with pure affection was much dross. He had reached the summit of the hill, and now enjoyed the world’s favor; yet one thing was wanting; without it, true happiness cannot exist. He had sought it in pleasure, but it was not there; in riches, but found it not; in fame, but the search proved useless; in the busy walks of fashion he found it not; neither did it dwell in the halls of literature and art. De­ spairingly he turned away, thinking that true happiness dwelt not on earth, when his eyes rested on a humble volume lying on the shelves of his book­ case. It was old and faded, and bore marks of neglect by the dust which had gathered thickly upon its lids. Thinking to beguile a few moments, he listlessly opened the book, and the first passage which met his eye read thus ; “ Come unto me, all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you regt.” Rest! was not this the treasure for which he had searched long and diligently, but found it not? Rest for the weary and heavy laden; was he not wearied with toil and cares?—heavy laden with burdens of anxiety ? Instantly he resolved to seek that rest, to obtain that peace in the way which the Bible pointed out. He was this time successful in his search. By slow but sure degrees his mind began to comprehend the true end of life, — to see that not man’s but God’s favor must be sought, ere the longings of his immortal spirit could be satisfied. And when this was done, when the barriers of pride and sin were removed, and the light of religion shone upon his soul, his cup of happiness was full to overflow­ ing. Did our Saviour call home his darling child ? He could look with an eye of faith up to that blessed land where sorrow and suffering come no more, and behold his child among the angel band which dwells at the right hand, of our Father, and rejoicing in his smiles. Did men scorn and despise him? Turning to God’s holy word, he reads, “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile and persecute you.” And when the death-angel came knocking at the door of his soul, he could say, with the inspired prophet, “ Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thy rod and Thy staff will comfort and sustain me.” Such piety, like fruitful seed planted in fertile soil, grows and expands, choking out each obnoxious weed, till, transplanted, it blooms forever in more congenial climes. Sorrow and disappointments may overwhelm -us; friends may depart and enemies exult in our distress ; every earthly pleasure may wither and fade, as the morning dewdrop from the grass, or as the grass itself sinks / I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 119 beneath the sharp scythe of the mower; yet with religion for our support, we shall safely tread the mazy labyrinth of life, and finally repose in that land of the blest, where sickness shall come no more, and where enjoy­ ments are eternal and unfading. LINES. I sat within my chamber, Ono cold and wintry night; Around mo winds wero blowing, And tho moon refused her light. And as I sat there thinking Of tho lovo that onco was mine, Of tho friend, who, in life’s morning, Was cut down, by tho band of Timo,— ! I Jly mourning heart cried wildly, " How can I walk alone • The dark and dreary pathway That leads to our Father’s homo? “ I miss thy bright, sweet presence, 0 friend forever gone! While others walk in gladness, must I wander alone ? “Even.now my feet aro weary, And hardly find tho track; If thou, lovo, could’st but guide mo, rd fear no turning back.” I Tho darkness grew still deeper, Still wilder camo my cry,— I cannot live without thee; 0 Father, let mo die! ” i When on my spirit vision Two forms wero shadowed forth, Ono, with a crown of glory, And ono like thoso of earth. “Fear not, for I am with you," Said Jesus, from on high; And tho voico of my lost darling Whispered, “I, too, am nigh." IN MEMORY OF A MUCH LOVED FRIEND. Hard, indeed, it was to leave theo, Beautiful, in life’s bright bloom: Harder still it was to lay theo In tho cold and silent tomb. ♦ i �150 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. Yet wo know our God is righteous, In his presence thou art blest; And wo, praying, hope to greet thee, In that sweet and sinless rest. Will heaven’s sweet and thrilling music Fill thy heart with sweet refrain 1 ’Midst the joys of angel worship Wilt one thought of mo retain? Will affection’s strong, deep tendrils, Severed hero by death’s rude hand, — Will they not bo reaching downwards, Yearning for mo in that land ? Father, grant mo faith and patience, Strength to wait, and labor on; That in death I may bo worthy To arise, and join mine own. SPRING. Night is gathering round us, twilight veils the sky; Whispering winds are telling spring is drawing nigh. Birds are flying northward, in angolio notes Music sweet is swelling from thoir little throats; Calling to each other in the early morn, Waking us poor mortals oro ’tis fairly dawn; Graceful little creatures, fairy-like and gay, Harbingers of summer, everywhere are they. I From the earth uprising, robed in brightest greon, Clothing earth in beauty, tho springing grass is seen; Trees once bare and ragged, angular and slim, Beneath spring’s genial influence, soon will look quite trim. Cedar, spruce, and hemlock, soon you’ll charm no more, Budding oak and maple will eclipse you soon; All nature stirring round us, all earth with life replete, Proclaims that earth is waking from her long winter’s sleep. > These arc but a small portion of her early writings. I would have been glad to have given the public the story written by her at the age of twelve years, but the length of’the same, prevents it. I give these as samples to show the drift of her youthful mind. The next is an account of her first start for Kent’s Hill, in 1861, the day she left home. A LEAF FROM MY JOURNAL. Tuesday, Jifarch 12, 1861. — This morning we left our pleasant home for a sojourn among strangers. The sky was clear and bright, and gave I �THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. -r 151 promise of a pleasant day, and the air was just sharp enough to send tho • blood dancing through every vein, giving clearness and vigor to both body and mind. Leaving home is usually an unpleasant affair to us, but We had looked forward so long and so eagerly to this journey that its approach was a signal for rejoicing. What if we icere going among entire strangers ? wo should soon get acquainted ; if we did not, ’twas no matter. We knew we should like, and started in the best of spirits. A journey of so much importance must have some remarkable incidents. Ours first happened in this way. On our way to R. it became necessary to cross the Androscoggin river on the ice, which was rather a hazardous pro­ ceeding. We got along well enough, however, till we reached the farther shore, when crash 1 splash! and the first thing I knew I found myself sit­ ting in not the most graceful attitude in a snow-bank: my companion near by was oh-ing and oh-ing at a great rate, while the big trunk stood on end between u£. Afar off was seen Charley-horse, walking demurely along just as if nothing at all had happened, and no doubt pleased at finding his load so suddenly lightened. At first I could hardly tell how I came there, but on looking towards the river I saw at once that near the shore the ice had suddenly given away, causing the sleigh to plunge down two or three feet, and necessarily throwing us out. Luckily the shore was so near that wo landed on the bank instead of going into the river, for a cold water plungebath would not have been, just at that time, very agreeable. We gatherep up ourselves and accoutrements, and finding nothing damaged (except the ice, which was badly fractured), went on our way rejoicing. (Aly “ Leaf” being covered, I must finish my story another time.) THE ANGEL’S CHOICE. When tho day was finished, and tho starlight Had fallen soft over tho earth, From out tho beautiful cloud-laud The angels were gazing forth. Long they gazed, for our earth was lovely, - With no trace of sorrow or sin; Liko tho radiant bowers of Eden Ere tho serpent bad entered in. But list! for tho silcuce is broken, And forth, with a tiny footfal, Steps one from tho band of seraphs, And soft to tho others sho calls: — “Sisters! of nil the blight things That unto mankind aro given, * ! �M - 152 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. Which would you choose to dwell in, If earth was your homo, and not heaven ? ” “ In a cascade bright and sparkling,” Said one of the laughing elves; “ Or, down ’mid the coral islands, Whore tho giant sea-monsters dwell.” "In a rose, that all might love me; In a diamond, that I might enduro; ” But tho first angel spoke up quickly,— “In a snow-flake, that I might bo pure! ” CHANGE. Tho sunshine would not seem so bright, If there were never storms; Wo greet tho spring with deep delight, Wo hail tho harvesf morns. Wo smile to see the busy boo Sip summer’s golden grains, Yet turn well pleased to homo of ease When white-robed winter reigns. Tho sweet would never seem so sweet If it could always last, And “written language” fail complete, If “spoken” words wore past. Wo lovo our books, yet turn to look On nature’s wido-spread range; For mind and matter too, you’ll find, Seeks everywhere for change. The past is pleasing in our eyes, The present very good; Yet no man lives who would not grasp H is future if ho could.. GONE HOME. With a feeling akin to gladness we utter these words, as one after another of our number goes at the call of duty, or of pleasure, back to the dear home-circle, to mother’s love and friends. But when God calls them up yonder, where the home eternal is, the shadow of the golden gates through which they entered rest darkly on our hearts. In this room, where his voice was so often heard, it is well for us now to i I �THE CBOWN WON BET NOT WOEN. 153 make mention of one who on earth is no more. Will Jones, — he has been with us at many a May walk, and many a festive scene; he has toiled beside us up the rugged hill of science, and made the ascent less wearisome to many a tired traveller. Would he linger then, when motherland called for her loyal sons? They who knew him best were least surprised when he came to the Hill, a soldier, to bid it a final goodrby. For by one of those strange foreshadow­ ings of the future, known only to genius-lighted minds, our friend was sat­ isfied that he would never return. But he had heard the voice of duty, and duty to him was law. On Monday, the 1st of February, the 7th Maine Battery left Augusta for Washington; on Friday, the 5th, it was stationed at Camp Berry, East Capitol Ilill. Then the fever fell upon him and he saw the familiar faces of far-off friends in Maine ; on Kent’s Hill he walked again “ in the old way,” and the “ prayers of our chapel ” were ringing in his ears. On Monday, March 28th, the news of his sickness first reached us and the next Friday he died. Not died,— “ There is no death; what seems so is transition. This life of mortal breath Is but an entranco to tho lifo Elysian Whoso portals wo call death." r Believing this, we may not mourn that only twenty-two short years of earth-life were given to our friend. The school, the great world he would have benefited, the little circle of intimate friends, — a school before unbroken, — may lament their own loss, — his gain. God fitted him for ‘ this life, then gave him life eternal. “ 0 earth, so full of dreary noises ! 0 men, with wailing in your voices ! 0 shining gold, tho waiter's heap ! 0 strife! 0 curse! that o'er it fall, God makes a silence through you all, .And giveth his beloved sleep.” Spring of 18&1. CONSISTENCY. Yes, my friends, believe in youthful enthusiasm; like to have young folks lively; tell them to move quick; be cheerful, and. at the same time inform your nephew he’s going to ruin because he whistles Yankee Doodle, or claps his hand enthusiastically over the speech of Mr. So-and-So. Cry out against despotism and tyranny; have a mortal horror of the Pope of Rome ; hate Catholics, because they are obliged to yield implicit I �154 I HIE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. obedience; cause the eyes of little children to dilate with wonder at your marvellous stories of Blue-Beard, who didn’t torment his friends while living,—but kindly ate them up; but take care to terrify everybody .within the reach of your influence by a series of diminutive despotisms, or irritate them by petty exhibitions of authority. Hake minds your study, that you may do them good (of course), and when you have found their most sensitive spot grasp it with iron fingers. Make jokes; make a thousand of them, and laugh complacently all the while. Tell your friends it’s a fine thing to laugh and be merry; but if a poor, innocent little joke comes unexpected into your presence, annihilate it with a tremendous frown. All this you may do, and more ; but remember “ Precept whispers, while example thunders.” ANNIVERSARY DAYS. And by this term we do not mean those dry intellectual feasts with which college students are supposed to delight their patrons, — such as come to us on the Hill when June comes, let who will be presi­ dent. But we each set apart a few days from life’s common routine, and devote them to the past. Anniversary days! Individuals have them; the nation has them ; and once in a great while God puts a distinguishing mark on some part of his time, and it becomes henceforth an anniversary day for all mankind? We make our anniversaries of vastly different stuff. Some are fine and silken and full of golden gleaming lustre, and when, as time comes round, we bring forth the beautiful garment, it clothes us with joy unspeakable. Then time weaves a gay, flashing garment and we think it will last us for­ ever. But we hang it in memory’s closet, and, lo I all its beauty is gone. There is sombre black in that closet, and we wear it at times next our heart. It is wonderful to think how thickly sown are' the seed of these memory days. May 27th is an anniversary to some, and yesterday afternoon was to how many ? Birthdays are universal anniversaries ; not only our own, but our friends. They have been aptly called mile-stones marking our progress on life’s journey, —a journey where all the travellers are homeward bound. And when the eternal gates are opened to those left behind, there remains only this record, “ Died.” “ And ever in our hearts wo keep The birthdays of the dead.” I �IF 1 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 155 The war has made many anniversaries that all coming time will observe. July 4th and Washington’s birthday seemed about all the nation used to have in common; but now we must add April loth and tho date of the close of the war. Grief here and gladness there formed a bond uniting us all. From tho beginning God saw the need of these great bonds of a common humanity, and so made the Christian Sabbath consecrated to holy memories of his working and his rest and gave us Christmas week, — an anniversary set apart forever as a memorial of what Christ hath done for all mankind. LILLA LUNT. Died op DrpnrnEr.iA is luz SraiiEn or 1862. Two littlo hands that at morning .

Tread softly, students, in tlicso halls ! 0 man of business, pause, For a nation bows in sadness now o’er liberty’s dear cause. THo downtrod million of tho earth have, trembling, staked their all; With our success their freedom’s won, and with us, too, they fall. �156 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. While the tramp of gathering thousands is resounding through the lan< And brother mcetcth brother in death-conflict hand to hand, Have wo no duty to perform, — no laurel crown to win ? Shall woman stand with folded hands before this monster sin? You’ve read in history’s pages how, when Freedom’s Sky grow dork, ’Twas lighted up by woman’s faith; —think of Joan d’Aro ! Oh, ne’er was cause more holy, or ne’er could man or maid Moro freely lift the heart to God with hand upon tho blade. For wo fight against injustice, and, in every battle won, Wo have struck a blow for freedom, and a world is looking on; Yet still waters run tho deepest, and ’tis not alone by war That tho greatest good’s accomplished— silent influence's bettor far. ' Let no selfish lovo restrain you, — country first, and then onr friends; What is ono without tho other ? Would you clasp a coward’s hand ? While our brothers toil in battle, wo who stay at homo can pray; And our God, tho God of battles, ho will give tho victory. Few things are more noticeable now than the prevalence of mourning. You cannot stand in any crowded assembly without remarking this. One day on the street you meet smiling faces, —they have come from the post­ office perhaps, and that letter has made their sunshine, — then over the swift wires comes the news of victory, and lo I there passes you a figure in black, coarse black, most likely, — for the pay of a common soldier will not buy fine crape for the mourners. There is no display of sorrow, no pageantry of grief to tell the world, at large, they have lost a friend, — only a quiet changing frbm the gay garb of yesterday to the shadowy one of to-day. Oh, these sad-eyed, pale-faced figures, in black, pass by us more fre­ quently than they did years ago, and in their sorrow lies a deeper meaning 1 What they have lost has been sacrificed for the benefit of a nation; and a nation shares their grief. “ Oh, when tho fight is won, Dear land whom triflers now make bold to scorn, Theo, from whoso forehead earth awaits hor morn, Row nobler doos tho sun Homo in thy sky ! how bravor breathes thy air, That thou hadst children who for theo couldst daro And dio as thine have done I IN MEMORIAM. Sunlight upon a now-mado grave, And turf above the breast Of one who stood among us once, As student and os guest. L I �1 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 157 “Moro light! moro light!” this dying wish Of Goethe’s poet soul Round echo on thy lips, 0 friend! Round echo in My soul. God heard; ho always hears tho prayers Of those, whoso lives uro given To country and to him; ho scat Tho eternal light of heaven. Yes, it is well, — let tho sumo old bell, That in tho days gone by Rang out to him tho hours of time, Bing in, —eternity. Who next shall fall for country’s honor 7 Who next shall sleep ’neath tho starry banner! God pity tho rhothers, and pity all Ror whom tho sheen of sunshine shall fall On a vacant chair, a desolate home, And tho now-mado gravo of a friend! BREVITY. Brevity is the soul of wit. It is also the true test of wisdom. Cmsar’s “veni, vidi, vici,” has lived, and will live, because it is short, sharp, and full of meaning. It was Milton — was.it not ?— who being requested to put Christ’s miracle at the marriage-feast into poetry, expressed it all in ono immortal line ? “ Tho conscious water saw its God, and blushed.” People who stayed at home, and made long and loud professions of loyalty, were not apt to be the truest patriots. You remember that sublime verso in Genesis, which describes the creation; “ And God said, let there be light, and there was light.” Do you also recollect how rhetoric speaks of one who thus gives the same idea in many words: “ The Sovereign Ar­ biter of the universe, by the potent energy of a single word, commanded, light to exist, and immediately it sprang into being?” Mark the change. Such “ linked sweetness, lopg drawn out,” is anything but pleasing. Of what avail a long lecture, or sermon, or even prayer, except to weary or disgust the hearer? Religion does not consist in many and high-sounding words ; but is best shown in those little, decisive acts of every-day life. No man ever made his words immortal who did not make them brief. Scripture commands are always short and comprehensive. The Lord's Prayer is short; and no superlluous words can be found in the ten com­ mandments. �158 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. = The shortest verse in the Bible is one of the most affecting. “ Jesus wept!” What could be more touching? The King of Glory mourning over fallen man I -----A FRAGMENT. Past, Present, and Future, — Oh, what is there hero That is worth one regret, one lingering tear? When the summons is given, — 0 spirit, return To the hands of thy Giver — poor wanderer come homo,— Wo mourn not, we weep not, for that whioh is fled; Though our tears fall like rain on tho face of the dead, They are tears for tho living, for those who alono Over life’s weary pathway must still wander on. Yet courage faint heart! to thee comfort is given, For tho dear ones who’vo left us are happy in heaven. Wo shall miss their sweet presence, and yoarn for their lovo, Yet, sometime, God helping, wo’ll meet them above. MYSTERY. There once was a dove, — in her nest, Seven birdlings chirped; and three Were weak as weak could bo; Three strong, — and one tho best And dearest of the seven, Ho plumed his wings for heaven. And tho mother-bird wept. 0 mystery! It is all as sad as sad can bo. ’ Tis a mystery all. •' There once was a ship, — she sailed Where tho tide-waves ebb and flow, And laughed at tho storm; when, lo ! Snapped every sail, rent by tho gale, Bent every most ’noath slavery’s blast; Her future seemed to mook her post. God knows tho fato of our bonnio boat, Tho Union,—will it ever float As before ? To us ’tis a mystery. Whon.oreeds are confused, and in strife Stand tho guides to tho Heavenly Feast, And ho who reads most knows tho ioast Of tho way, — who shall wonder if Life, Young Life, all aglow for tho fight, Bo wearied with waiting for light ? Who shall blamo if it falters, and who if it falls ? Lot God judge. To us ’tis a mystery all, And wo cannot know. Thoro were once two friends, — two friends Who loved each other so, That when God bado ono go, f 0 �F" .THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 159 1 The other prayed, — Oh, send Some token if tho coni That has reached tho heavenly gcal Holds dear to his heart the left behind ! 0 mystery ! yo fools and blind, Yo cannot know. There was once a slender vine, Planted on tho brow of this Hill, And it flourisheth there still, Grown strong. Its tendrils twine Round right; its fruit through all these years Has fallen midst a fall of tears; Wo can but wonder as it grows. Wo ask its future. Well, God knows. To us ’tis a mystery. There’s a stream, ’tis deep and wide; Who near it, oft repine; Who cross it, make no sign When they reach the other side. Dark is the hither shore. Though each one must pass o’er, And fain would know why they must go, And where, and whence its waters flow; ’Tis a mystery all. There were once eight sticks, all found In the Pine-Tree State; somo straight, Some wero crooked, and strange to relate, Sinco they grow on such similar ground; Somo wero bending as willows when breezes blow; Somo unyielding as granite. Now, tell me, who knows, Why they grafted themselves on tho tree of knowledge, And camo m masse to tho Wesleyan College? For to us ’tis a mystery. The following was prepared for her graduation piece in 1866: — THE STUDENT’S REWARD. Since the world began, rewards and punishments have been distributed with an impartial hand by their great Author. The mother smiles approv­ ingly upon the first warm impulse that prompts her little one’s heart to deeds of kindness. The world bows in homage before its own great men; and God himself on those he loves showers blessings. We all look for­ ward to the reward which is to be ours, and choose our life-work according to that which promises most. With the various dispositions of mankind, there must ever be an infinite diversity of tastes; but,— ■I �160 THE CBOWN WON BUT NOT WOBN. Whilo others sing of " Homo, swcot homo,” Or pant for tho battle’s strife, Bo onrs tho pleasing task to toll Tho joys of a student’s life. The mind may be likened to a watch; and the main-spring which keeps all its curious machinery in motion is the love of influence. Nor is this the ignoble passion that it at first appears; for he who aspires to greatness must first make himself worthy of praise. And here, the student’s pre-em­ inence is plainly shown; for those habits of energy, perseverance, close and patient thought, which have been formed in the study-room, will tell forcibly upon the minds of his fellow-men. Wealth may upraise its golden rod and call for worship from the gazing throng; hereditary princes may proudly walk the earth in robes of borrowed greatness; beauty’s potent spell may charm the enraptured senses ; but t “ Ono glanoo of intellect, liko stronger magio, will outshino thorn all.” The more we learn, the more are our capabilities for enjoyment in­ creased. This constant culture is not needed by our grosser natures ; but our tastes adnrit of unlimited improvement. None but a painter’s eye can appreciate the wonderful delineations of a Michael Angelo; and an edu­ cated ear alone can perceive the delicate harmony of our great composers. To the uncultivated, some simple arrangement of colors or of sounds would be more pleasing, because better understood. And then man is an imitative being. As the streamlet takes its coloring from the pebbles over which it flows, so we — by studying the lives and deeds of those whom history delights to honor — are insensibly led to imitate them; and a mind familiar with these lofty examples is ever striving to reach the height their goodness gained. We have only to look about us for exam­ ples of the practical advantages of an educated mind. Ask yourself who among the circle of your acquaintances has the noblest soul, the warmest heart, and the coolest head to guide it, and your own good judgment will point unerringly to him, who in the morning of life laid up for himself treasures of wisdom. To this general rule genius is no exception. ' Goldsmith was loud in expressing his contempt'for mathematics, and his dislike of logic and ethics; he endeavored to persuade himself that learning arid dulness went hand in hand, and that genius was not to be put in harness; says Irving, his gifted biographer, “But looking still further, we find him possess­ ing just such a character as these opinions would, indicate. Having laid no regular and solid foundation for knowledge, he ‘ takes no heed for the - �1 THE CROWN WON BUT NOT WORN. 1G1 present, or care for the future,’ follows no plan, adopts and rejects these recommended by his friends. At one time prepares for the ministry, next, turns to the law, and then hits upon medicine.” His genius gave him a pleasing style of composition; but his ignorance made him the batt of ridicule among the literary men of his day; and he died of a fever, brought on by anxiety in regard to unpaid debts, extravagantly incurred. Of him it was written by Garrick, — “Hero lies poet Goldsmith, for shortness called Noll, Who vroto like an angel, but talked liko poor Poll.” The pleasure of conquering our tasks is no small part of the student’s reward, and, like partial payments on a note of hand, is given us by fre­ quent instalments as we proceed with the work. One of the strongest, incentives to exertion which human nature is capable of feeling is the hope of being remembered after death. “ Forget me not,” is the heart’s language at all times, and still more earnestly is it uttered when the departing spirit takes its flight to the land of the Great Unimown. And this boon, so earnestly craved by all, to whom is it finally given? History shows us that the learned, the wise, the truly good, are fresh in the peo­ ple’s memory, when prince audr conqueror, court and courtier, have sunk into oblivion, or are known only in the songs of those whoso genius haa rescued them from merited neglect. Yea, fellow-students.— TL'-te thyself worthy, and thy honored namo Shall livo in pictured and in monumental fiimo;Tho stern historian shall thy praises tell, And future generations on thy virtues dwell. I need not here mention that it is our duty to improve the talent God has given us, since his word so plainly commands it. “ Get wisdom,” for “ wisdom is better than riches,” is the language of the inspired Scripture. And Solomon says, “The heart of the wise man secketh after knowledge.” Duty brings its own reward; and, if it were not so, the “ well done ” of an approving conscience is plainly audible to our spirit car. Are other in­ ducements needed to strengthen the student’s laudable purposes? TT/rnt more can be desired? Conscience commends, fame rewards, and more than all, the approving smile of God is ever waiting to crown him with the laurels of success. The two last pieces here given to the public arc the last productions of hers, so far as we have any knowledge. I could fill page alter page with 11 �162 I THE CROWN WON BUI' NOT WORlr. such productions as are here given of her early and later writings ; although a large number were lost with other things at the Hill. We regret the loss of one of her ablest productions, written soon after she went to the Hill,— title, Ancient anti Modern Chivalry; and if any person who shall read this, has, or knows of any one who has, a copy of that article, we should be greatly obliged for a copy of the same. In closing, permit me to say to all who shall have patience to read this narrative through, that with much research and toil, I have gathered up the evidence and circumstances from which I have based my conclusions, and, in pamphlet form, lay them before the public; .asking the public journalists of the State, if the fact comes to their- knowledge that I have made a statement of this sad case, to notice the same in their journals. Justice will give such notice a place in those papers which published the reports of committees on the other side from Kent’s Hill. In view of all that has transpired on the Hill, and the course Torsey has pursued towards Louise while under his care and since she died, his disposition shown to, and the treatment of her friends, I must say, I loath and detest this mis­ erable compound of intrigue and deception, and desire him to be kept out of my sight and mind if possible. I will not attempt to call him deserved names, as I can find no terms in the English language that will do him justice. I cannot pass unnoticed that whole-souled class-mate of Louise, Adelaide Webb, who, untrammelled by religious creeds, speaks out fully her true sentiments without fear, and says, “ I have long wished for some avenue through which to express my esteem and love for Louise,” etc. (See her letter in full on page 61.) “THE CROWN WON, BUT NOT WORN,” Was the title of Louise’s exhibition piece, prepared and read by her on the stage, in June, 1865, in regard to the life and death of the lamentedLincoln. Its length precludes its publication here. Being forcibly impressed with that title, and her effort, and their sudden exit from earthly scenes, caused me to adopt that title. The following lines of a distinguished poet are applicable to the close of this sad narrative, — “ Man’s inhumanity to man Makes countless millions mourn.” y �■ ■ I - J I I �r 1 K f 1 ' \ \ \ \ l,.'\ L i A �' ■ A 1 r C < 7 - ~ l<rf; i ?

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

It is the oldest preparatory school society in America conducted by-students, and with an uninterrupted ex­ istence of 100 years. Anti-dated by only three college Greek letter fra­ ternities, it is a remarkable history that a society of its character should i carry on for that length of time. | Opened in 1824 Maine Wesleyan Seminary opened its doors to students in February, 1S24 and the Calliopean Society was formally organized March 17, 1S29. In its in­ ception it was the idea and work of one man, Merritt Caldwell, then prin­ cipal of the school. The original pur­ pose was to provide a library for the use of the students. Associated with Caldwell in that first meeting were Gersham F. Cox and Elihu Robinson, the latter, one of the founders of the institution. The main object of the society was to encourage a greater interest in' lit­ and provide ample opportunity i: I erature for debating. One of the first questions debated was, "Should Infidel Publica­ Early building used for meetings of Calliopean Society, at Kent's tions bo Prohibited by Law?"

Kent’s Hill to Hold > •. 106th Commencement Over Next Week-End t. ;■', s ■ The hundred and sixth Com­ mencement Exercises of Kent’s Hill Seminary will be held this coming week-end, beginning Friday after- ; noon, the 14th, and extending through the fBrenoon of Monday, the 17th. The outstanding feature of this Commencement is, of course the hundredth Anniversary of the Calliopean Society. This society, organized in 1829, is a literary and semi-secret society and has been in continuous existence, so far as is known, for a longer time than any other secondary school students’ organization in the country. Many of the old “Cals” will be here throughout the entire week-end but the high tide of the celebration will . be on Saturday afternoon and eve­ ning. Most of them will be present for the alumni luncheon at noon which will be followed by a baseball game in the afternoon between the school team and a team com- ■ posed pf old time Calliopeans. The i largest attendance will be .at the public meeting In the evening at which the History of the Society will be read by Charles Crosby and the principal address will be de­ livered by Rev. Payson E. Pierce, '93. The annual Calliopean Banquet will be served after this meeting in the dining room of Sampson Hall. An old time Calliopean, Judge Ed­ ward H. Adams, ’90, of Portsmouth, IN. H„ will deliver the address, at the Last Chapel Exercises on SatJurday morning. So far as is known. the oldest Calliopean to take part will be Rev. George R. Palmer, of Portland, of the class of '67. Mr. Palmer, who recently celebrated his ninetieth birthday and who for many years has been a member of the Board of Trustees, will act us ■ hapluin for the occasion. The Class Day Exercises will be held as usual as will' the annual Prize Speaking Contest and two speakers of exceptional ability are provided for the regular numberfon the program. Professor Charles M. McConnell, of Boston University School of Theology, who for a num­ ber of years has made a special study of rural churches, will preach the Graduation sermon Sunday morning, and Arthur G. Staples, Editor of the Lewiston Journal, a( member of the Board of Overseers of Bowdoin College and recognized throughout the Eastern part of the country as one of the ablest men of his profession, will address the, senior class at its graduation exer­ cises Monday morning.

Hill, June 11.—When, jKent’s Hill observes its commencejment week beginning Friday, June 114, there will also be celebrated at the same time the one hundredth I anniversary of the oldest Prep 1 School society in the country. The boys’ society called the Calliopeans, was organized one hundred year's ago and numbered among its membership such names as Han­ nibal Hamlin, vice president un­ der Abraham Lincoln, Hudson Maxim, the inventor. Chancellor Day of Syracuse University, and Joseph Cummings Chase, whose recent portraits of the generals and commanders of the World War have attracted such favorable comment both in the country and abroad. On Friday, June 14, this Society will begin the celebration of its one hundredth anniversary and hun­ dreds of old members are expected at the reunion held at Kent's Hill, Readfield, Maine.______ ___ __ .____ 1 Kent’s Hill Seminary opened its' doors to students in'February, 1824, and the Calliopean Society was for­ mally organized on March 17, 1829. Little did the older people of that day think that this new organiza-’ tion of 16 preparatory school boys would have a continuous active ex-] istence, with regular meetings week after week during the school, year for a century to come. The first objects of the society' were largely literary. The consti­ tution provided that at each meet- i Ing "there shall be two Declama-; tions (one to open and one to close the meeting.) One written Dis­ sertation and one Forensic Dispu­ tation.” This order of exercises was followed for many years but has been much elaborated and en- . larged in modern times. | The first meeting at which the regular program was presented ’was held April 7, 1829, and the questions for debate was ‘‘Should Infidel Publications bo prohibited! by law." Oddly enough for ..those! days it was decided in the nega­ tive. The society has in its possession a complete set of its records from its organization to date with the exception of one volume containing some records in the sixties. It also has about 40 volumes of bound pa­ pers containing the literary efforts of its members and the papers read at public meetings for many years. These are all hand written and many in most elegant styles of penmanship with title pages often .beautifully illuminated with satn-l Plts__of pen drawing and letteringj That such work was done by al schoolboy's society and then iiri turn preserved and carried on by' generation after generation of boys . is rather remarkable.. The first meetings were doubt­ less held ip the various school rooms of the Seminary. Later when Bearce hall was built the so­ ciety had a room allotted to its use. Still later when the school needed1 this room the society moved to the floor above, and for 40 years they have now occupied the east room! on the top floor of Bearce hall. About 25 years ago, within the. . -------------------------- back.” The present boy members of this century old society still cite the story as an illustration of the fact that a "Cal” is always a "live wire” even though he grows whiskers and returns to be president of his old school. The plans for the Calliopean Cen­ tennial Celebration are being made lin cooperation with the General Alumni Committee of the school and beginning on June 14, so that those returning may also attend many of• the Kents Hill commencement exer­ cises. On the evening of Friday the 14th the present active members of the society, students at the school, will hold one of their regular meetings in their hall to which the many re­ turning "Cals” will go to meet and greet each other, some perhaps who have not seen each other for 50 years or more when they’ were stu­ dents together at the school. On -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _■ memory of many of the men re­ turning to this reunion, this hall was repaired and redecorated at considerable expense and the boys of that day were exceedingly proud of it. One thing that adds point to many! of the stories told, is that Kent’s I : Hill is an old institution beloved by I everyone that has ever attended/it and many of its teachers are stu­ dents of former years. That the Calliopeans had some iidea old students might return as teachers is evidenced by an article in their original constitution which provided that should any man be elected president of the Seminary w’ho had as a student belonged to the Calliopean Society he should automatically be president of their society as long as president of the institution. And lo and behold this came to pass. When Dr. Torsey was elected president of the school he auto’ matically became president of this schoolboy society for in his boyhood days he had been a member. Later i Dr. Edgar Smith had the same dis­ tinction. One of the best stories is told of an event during Dr. Torsey’s presi­ dency of tho school. He had a one horse chaise in which he used to drive around the country and equip­ ped with a large storm curtain in front which protected him from the rain a.nd wherever Dr. Torsey went the chaise was sure to go. One day some of tho students] conceived that it would be a bright1 idea to take this vehicle down over ] the hill and back it into one of the numerous ponds which surround the seminary. The word was passed, around to various youngsters and when darkness fell a group of them got-into the shafts and taking the chaise down over the bill backed it a little ways into the pond. Laugh­ ing, ike boys turned to retrace thwr -.ops up the hill when sud­ denly (lie storm curtain on the chaise parted and Dr. Torsey’s voice said, “Well boys, you have en­ joyed hauling me down over the I . Saturday there will be public exer­ cises and the Calliopean Banquet will be held in the evening. Arrangements are being made to accommodate all who return at the various summer camps and hotels in the community and there will be a general headquarters room where will imevery returning “Cal" mediately go and make himself known. r * l! f ■ �- , :■ ■ z. ■. ■ A';; -A ■■ - : 1 b___ '■ ■ ■’ < ■ y .

Iteadfield. later of Boston, was a J | member of the physiology class. 1 Among the speciments in the • laboratory was half of a small mani- • kin that occasionally was brought ’ out and walked around the class for : examination, like the ghost of Ham­ let’s father.

Apparently the dried sped- ; men had been coated with varnish or shellac as an additional presor- ; rative, for it was of a e How -brown 1 color. Shaped like a huge tuning­ fork, it was hardly an agreeable ex­ hibit. On one of tho occasions when this ghost walked, Stevens happened to be sitting in the front row. The skeleton had passed from hand to hand thru that setteeful of students and was traveling along the one in the rear. It had just reached the student immediately behind Wilbur, • when Prof. Stone went to the board to draw a figure'.

The • school jongleur; tried to get out of this unwelcome task; so his essay at length be- > came long overdue. Finally the beckoning finger called him. That ; essay must be passed in at once. Thus spurred into action, the i rhymester resorted to verse, and ; his metrical complaint was passed ; over to Prof. Stone for correction, i He read it and passed it back, sayI ing, | ‘‘All right, expect you have spelled ('’Professor,’ with two f’s. a very i common error. due.'T suppose, to_the ■ habit of saying ‘Prof.’ Then he added, with'a smile: “If you can stand that, I guess I can.” The Original" began: “Of all the great evils ot school days, „ , , Utl,' S’. ------ aI.p 3I1 that I dread, Compositions the Professor corrects ; .V'd when th. them. „ lie thinks I am out of my head.

I Calliopean Scholarship Fund The “Cals” have been fortunate this term in having a hard worker for a president, one who is forever watch­ ing for a chance to boost Calliopea. is chiefly through his efforts and ag­ gressiveness that the Calliopean Schol­ arship Fund was created. This fund is called the Calliopean ;Centennial Scholarship Fund and the interest will be given each year to some worthy Cal to help further his educa­ tion. The manner in which the alumni have responded to this idea leads us to believe that it will not stop at a low figure. It is an example of the sincere spirit of Calliopean men, of their will­ ingness to dig into their pockets and give so that their society may grow bet­ ter and become an even greater factor in Kent’s Hill life.

We may have many trials, may lose every friend; But we will love thee until the end. And no matter what happens and come what will We will never forget thee, Kent’s Hill. As the years roll by, in a thousand ways We will find that each day will be bringing Many thoughts of the joys of our Kent’s Hill days, And with memories our hearts will be ringing. And the years will roll back and we 'll think of thee, Dear Kent's Hill, where we oft' long to be. And although we may not return, yet still We will always remember Kent's Hill. When we leave old Kent’s Hill and its Mem’ries dear And go forth, may we find life o’erflowing With great joys and success, and without a fear May we into the future be going. May we work, may we work hard to achieve suc­ cess. And each have his share of happiness. May we strive, may we work for our school until 'Twill be proud that we went to Kent’s Hill. Myron L. Johnson, '27. ■ I J COLLEGE ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS A problem of universal interest, that of college entrance requirements, is before the public. Statistics show that the enrollment in college has increased about five times as rapidly as the general popula­ tion. This remarkable increase makes it impossible for the colleges to ac­ commodate all those who seek admis­ sion. So many students are awaiting entrance, there is room only for those who would reflect most credit. The problem is how best to deal with this situation. One way out of the difficulty is to increase the equipment, a method for­ bidden by the present financial status of the most of our universities. An­ other method is to limit the enrollment to the best of the applicants. Educational leaders are striving to find more adequate means for selecting those best fitted to profit by the oppor­ tunities offered. There seems to be a tendency to place upon the secondary school prin­ cipals the responsibility of choosing for the various colleges the students who in their judgment are ready to profit by college training. Such selec­ tions are based upon something more than the academic achievement of any pupil concerned. Health, character, and leadership have been added to the scholastic requirements. Indeed the scholastic requirements are changing from year to year. As long as the chief function of the secondary school was to prepare for college, and while the college had a uniform course of study with special reference to those training for the higher professions, no change in the early admission requirements was needed. But when the character and scope of the .secondary school was changed, the enriched curriculum of the secondary schools enabled the col­ leges to add to its curriculum more modern subjects. With such changes in colleges, and with the introduction of technical schools, the resulting vari­ ation in admission requirements has forced an intolerable burden on the secondary schools. hen the subjects required for col- �4 THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE lege admission were prescribed, and Originally the purpose of this board the amount to be mastered in these was to provide uniform examinations subjects was fixed, the secondary for all candidates seeking admission to school desiring to fit any students for the colleges that formed the associa­ college, was required to base its cur­ tion.

The state should seriously consider the establish­ ment of scholarships at these old schools, rather than their abolition.” A small high school does not have the funds to engage good teachers. Large public high schools have the funds but lack the individual attention which is always best and often neces­ sary. The private school has small classes, individual attention and the money to engage good teachers. The public institution has many diverse interests but the private one remains faithful to the old tradition for which it was founded. These have been found superior in all ways as the results show. All people are accepted at a public school but this is not so in regard to a private one. Those of the latter class are able to eliminate all undesirable people at once but a public school can only segregate, not eliminate. Dr. Julius Sochs says in his book on “ The American Secondary School and its Problems ” — “ A general continuity in educational growth ought to be the private school’s dominant feature and a marked gain in educational economy should be the in­ evitable result.” This economy should take the form of shortening the time for college preparation. Many college presidents say that students enter college too late, that they ought to enter professional careers before they are twenty-five years of age. This cannot be accom­ plished at present. The time must be shortened in elementary and secondary schools. It has been discovered that with thorough teaching and a definite end, the time can be shortened. The private schools can brush away non essentials and concentrate on the end in view. They are able to prepare the students for higher training. It is for them to get students into college earlier. This will be a benefit to the nation. The lowering of the college age is the next inevitable step. Why should not the private school take the lead? In closing I believe that I am able to say that in every way Kent’s Hill Sem­ inary has more than justified its exist­ ence and we who go forth from its halls to-day, go with higher standards, nobler ideals as well as richer equip­ ment because of the service that this one of those many schools has ren­ dered to us personally. Virginia H. McFadden, ’27. PEACE There is, without doubt, in the minds of the majority of the ablest men and women of America to-day a struggle between the forces of peace and war, between international peace and neutrality. It is a question which gives us the greatest challenge since civilization began. Colleges and Uni­ versities are endeavoring to instil in the minds of modern youth the injus­ tice of war, churches are proclaiming from the'ir pulpits the unchristian atti­ tude of nations against nations. So my subject for this morning will deal with the subject of peace. You may not agree. I do not expect all of you to, but do not dodge the challenge. In the midst of the toil and confu­ sion and struggle of man there has al­ ways been a bright vision of a better day. Poets, philosophers and prophets have sung of the peaceful eras long passed away. The philosopher has ! ■ * �THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE studied human nature and human events until he has visioned in the distant future a sunny period where war shall be unheard of. In the same way the Prophet inspired from heaven tells us of a period when men shall suffer no more war. There is not a Christian who can doubt that the pro­ phecies of the holy men of old, must, eventually, be fulfilled. No person, being familiar with the past and com­ paring it with the present state of civilization, can say that there is no hope that the nations will understand one another. The nature of man coin­ cided with the voice of prophecy; his sentiment, affections and understand­ ing are averse to war. Among those elements of character found in every condition of human existence is — Humanity — that quality of mind which leads us to weep and pity over the sufferings and disappointment of others. Humanity shudders at the great amount of suffering, at the evils and misery which follow war, that monster which wastes life and prop­ erty, spoils domestic life and comfort, the arts of life, the noblest enterprises which employ the faculties of the greatest minds, ruins character and crumbles mighty empires to dust. So long as war exists these fates will fol­ low ! The resemblance of man to the brute has gradually worn away and his higher faculties are exercised. Every fact learned adds energy to his mental energy. The absurdity of war will be clear if we look at its extravagance, its effect upon the belligerents. 1. Economics of war. History has unfailingly demon­ strated that there has never yet been an aggressive war whose losses have not 9 far exceeded the total value of the ob­ ject of controversy. There never has been an offensive war that has not oc­ casioned, for instance, a loss of ten­ fold, the property consumed in prepar­ ing for war, human lives which are taken from the most valuable spots of higher classes, interruptions of agricul­ ture and arts, suspension of moral and intellectual nature, degradation of character, the creation of an army which remains after the war is over a burden on the people. As a further illustration we- have our recent World War. There resulted from this monster 13,000,000 dead soldiers 13,000,000 dead civilians 20,000,000 wounded 9,000,000 war orphans 5,000,000 war widows 10,000,000 refugees And its cost in dollars for every day during the duration was $215,000,000, that is, $9,000,000 every hour. It is calculated that 5-6 of the taxes in the United States go for past, present, or future wars. A complete conception of liberty will do more and more to prevent the resort to arms by resolving the question of war to a Question of economy. 2. The effect of war upon the belligerents. The philosophy of war is absurd. Men fight by armies in order to gain certain ends, usually selfish ones, or else to defend themselves against ag­ gressors. They set on fire the evil passions of millions, destroy one an­ other for the sake of giving content to the survivors. The victor is intoxi­ cated with success, maddened of human blood, and proud.

Only one letter man, “ Mai ” Tapley, and one substitute, “ Al ” Sanborn, remained from last year’s club, consequently, Coach Davis had to develop practically a new team. After a week of prelimi­ naries we played Morse High, of Bath, in a practice game. The game only went seven innings, during which we gathered six runs to Morse’s one. Capt. “ Stan ” Allen pitched wonder­ ful ball the four innings he worked, striking out ten men. “ Ed ” Mannix who followed “ Stan ” also pitched good ball. We played another practice game with the Winthrop Town team, win­ ning 10-3. Bryant, Murphy, and Cur­ ry starred with the willow. Directly after this game Murphy left school which proved to be a severe blow to us. Our first scheduled game was with Bridgton Academy, which we lost 8-7. This was a tough game to lose. Close decisions by the Bridgton umpire cost us the game. Mannix led at the bat with three hits — one a triple to score three men. Coburn Classical journeyed here from Waterville and took us into camp 10-5. Mannix again led at bat while “ Stan ” Allen pitched a nice game and but for several costly errors should have won. Our next game was with M. C. I. at Pittsfield. M. C. I. had a nice “ rep ” as a hard slugging team but with “ Ed ” Mannix pitching they did but little. Mannix, Tapley and Curry led at bat, each getting two hits. Score: K. H 5, M. C. I. 4. The following Wednesday we jour­ neyed to Farmington and played the Abbott School, winning 21-6. Mannix led the batting with four hits. Moore and Mannix hit home runs. We went to Waterville for our re­ turn game with Coburn and again lost 10-5. Errors behind Mannix again proved costly. Tapley led with two hits. Rain spoiled a game with Cony High School after two innings had been played. The following Saturday came the Hebron game. With the score at the last of the eighth 1-0 in favor of Hebron two errors and three hits gave them the game 6-0. Rising, the Hebron star, had a wonderful day allowing but one hit, this by “ Bucky ” Merrill. “ Ed ” Mannix also pitched air tight ball up to the eighth. The next Tuesday we played Bowdoin Second team, winning 5-3. “ Ed ” Mannix starred at bat with a triple to score three men and win the game. Captain “ Stan ” Allen pitched a nice game. The next Wednesday we played Bates Second team at Lewiston, win­ ning in ten innings 5-4. Mannix and Merrill led at bat with two hits apiece. The next Saturday was our home game with Hebron. A cold wind pre­ vented effective pitching but Hebron’s defence was much tighter than ours, giving them an 8-2 victon’. Mannix with a triple was the leading hitter. �14 THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE On June 8 the postponed game with M. C. I. was played. The Hilltoppers had an off day and through their fre­ quent miscues M. C. I. emerged the victor, 11-4. Eddie Mannix was the bright light of the game. June 11 before our Commencement crowd we lost to Bridgton Academy 3-0. Despite the fact that the Cal ban­ quet kept the team up until the early ' 1 morning the team played good ball Their sole difficulty was hitting in the pinches. Captain “ Stan ” Allen pitched a nice game. The following have received letters: Capt.

It’s a great organiza­ tion : let’s treasure it, keep it good and hope to have it last forever. The banquet was held Friday, the 10th of June, at the Androscoggin House in Wayne.

This year the Society enjoyed a very pros­ perous season and the many members returning next year point to another successful season in 1927-28. The officers elected for the spring term were: President, Allen K. Jewett; Vice-President, Seth Lamson; Secre­ tary, Philip Greenleaf; Treasurer, Stephen Jewett; Chaplain, Whitney Feltmate. Adelphian A meeting of the Adelphians was called Friday evening, April Sth, and the following officers elected for the spring term: President, Leaness Gay; Vice-President, Florence Messier; Secretary, Marjorie Elliott; Treas­ urer, Katherine Ladd; Chaplain, Millicent Wing. The society programs for the regular and joint meetings have been especially �THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE fine, and many regret that the last meeting of the school year has been held. But we all wish the future may hold as pleasant times for the (mem­ bers and) future members of the Adelphian society, as this year has held. Eromathean In a special meeting called to order April 7th, the following officers were elected for the spring term : President, Barbara Sawyer; Vice-President, Mary Field; Secretary, Mabel Millay; Treasurer, Barbara Davis. The time has been so taken up by other school affairs that time for a Joint Public meeting could not be squeezed in by any of the literary societies, but the Joint Privates have been well prepared and very original stunts have been per­ formed. On the whole, we have completed a very enjoyable and profitable year in our society life and hope many more years of the same kind may follow. Eromathean and Adelphian The Eromathean and Adelphian society members met in a joint private meeting in the Adelphian Hall on Fri­ day evening, April 29, and program was rendered on which a humorous article was a (very) short pantomime entitled “ The Gathering of the Nuts." The cast was selected from the audi­ ence before the title was announced and happened ( ?) to consist largely of teachers. Joint Meeting of the Four Societies On Friday evening, June 3d, the Calliopean, Literati, Adelphian and Eromathean society members met in a joint meeting which showed that not 17 only the society members were friendly among themselves, but that friendly feeling and good fellowship existed among the members of all of the soci­ eties. The first part of the program was held in Literati Hall, then after refreshments were served, the remain­ der of the meeting was held in Calli­ opean Hall. This meeting was a novel experience to most of us. The program was: Art. I Scripture ! Reading Art. II Prayer Literati Chaplain Art. Ill Opening Address Myron Johnson Art.

The spring term of the Y. W. C. A. like the other two terms this year has been a success from beginning to end. Quite a few new members have joined; and there have been eight regular meetings held in all. The Y. W. helped the Y. M. put on a supper which has been acclaimed “ a regular feed ”, by those who went. We have had the good fortune to have four special addresses given us this term. They were as follows: Mrs. Heywood was kind enough to speak to us twice, once on “ Anger ” and second on “ Love ”. Both of these were interesting. Miss Essery spoke to the girls on “ Friendship ", and the talk was surely helpful. We were able to induce Mrs. Parmenter to give us a talk once and we are more �IS THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE than pleased that she would consent — especially after hearing her talk on “ Supposing ”. Besides these pleasur­ able and unusual events we were able to hear Mr. Butler from Bowdoin Col­ lege speak to the Y. W. and Y. M. at a joint meeting. Last but not least the Y. W. C. A. have had some more of those choco­ late bars which have always sold so fast. The money received from the candy helped make up the amount needed for the girl in India, whose support is the happy task of our Y. W. Y. M. C. A. The new officers for the “Y” were elected as follows: Whitney Feltmate, President; Kenneth Taylor, Vice-President; Paul Sulmonetti, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Feltmate has proven himself an able man for the job and the weekly meetings have been well attended. The Y. M. C. A. fund is growing. Albert T. Rhames, ’28. Frankie Elliott, ’28. Campus Notes One of the important features of this term is the establishment of Mr. Nicoll on our Faculty as teacher of Mathematics in the place of Mr. Hamlen. This year, as is the custom for Kent’s Hill students, one day was set apart from the usual routine of our regular hum-drum life and we all went to Maranacook. It was not such a good day as we could have wished but a good time was enjoyed by everyone. The few of us who were here over the Memorial Day week-end had the pleasure of a fine, balmy afternoon at Mrs. Harvey’s camp on Lake Marana­ cook. Besides the dancing, the boats and canoes, refreshments were served. Some of the braver and more hardy students went in the water for a swim. The following day, May 31st, at our Memorial Day chapel service we had the honor of listening to Captain Bishop, a Confederate Civil War vet­ eran, who told of some of his experi­ ences when a boy of twelve or thirteen years, in the siege of Petersburg, Va. On May 10th the Expression recital by Miss Pauline McQuigg was very much enjoyed. She was assisted by the Music faculty, whose numbers are reported in the Music notes. Miss McQuigg’s program was as follows: Poems by James Whitcomb Riley, The Raggedy Man, Nothin’ to Say and An Old Sweetheart of Mine; poems by T. A. Daly, The Harbinger of Spring, Between Two Loves and Carlotta’s In­ decision; Preciosa, the Spanish Danc­ er, a play in two acts, adapted from the n Spanish Student ” by Longfellow.

Accept affliction as a challenge, If handicapped, just do your best; Use all your gifts religiously. Have faith, keep sweet, try with a zest. Let friendships be devoutly cherished, Wealth cannot buy a faithful friend; It means far more than long acquaintance. There’s oneness in it without end! Cultivate the love of childhood, Make their presence your delight; Confidence is quite contagious And puts all fussiness to flight. Seek the best in all about you, Reeds may bend and fires burn low; Lift the reed perchance to bless you I Fan the embers, they may glow! Cultivate the gift of humor, Laugh when others scold and frown; You may save the broken-hearted From the moods that cast them down! Never whine! Cheer up, be grateful! Why sit down to mope and cry ? Pain may pinch you, but why whimper? You can conquer if you try! When affliction does its utmost. Tries, and tests, and purifies; All the finer virtues flourish, And are wings by which to rise! Rev.

Louise Greene ■ An Alleged “Martyr to the Prejudice and Caprice of Man,” or “ The Crown Won, but Not Worn.” By George C. Wing, Jr. (Excerpt from Sprague’s Journal of Maine History Vol. 13, No. 1) ��THE LUGUBRIOUS TALE AND DOLEFUL DEATH OF M. LOUISE GREENE, AN ALLEGED “MARTYR TO THE PREJUDICE AND CAPRICE OF MAN,” OR “THE CROWN WON, BUT NOT WORN” On the westerly slope of Mount Gile, formerly more sweetly called'“White Oak Hill” in Auburn, Maine, stands a granite monument which bears the following inscriptions: jmOUISf QRIEME.1 ' dE.2 2 yrs. I . dau.of I ces tfiL.M.CrcenpJ I . of Pern Me. I student of9 five years at 1 ■iZenZs HiTLa yrtemLer of fhpl IColleye graduating class of I IZ&66, who perished here in| pZory. within two weeks of 'graduation. martyr to the prejudice and caprice of man. 3 �1 . £ ■ *J _ *--■--------- L . _______ ._• ' *' - —' kSSs cpirlrl ft-ctve4^4^^ hand I-j |/;j h.to di.e.r ■ •'-V The Registry of Deeds for Androscoggin County, Book 53, Page 57, shows a conveyance November 9, 1866, by Ira Beale of Auburn, to Jonas Greene of Peru, in consideration of five dollars, of a parcel of land in Auburn . . . “it being a small piece of woodland” “Commencing on the southwest side of the Old County Road which leads from Vickery’s Mills to North Plaines in said Auburn at a point on said road where a line running at a right angle in a westerly course where it will pass one rod east of the center of the rock where Miss M. Louise Greene died to a point one-half rod beyond said rock; Thence at a right angle in a northerly direction two rods; Thence at a right angle in an easterly direction to the road; Thence down said road two rods to the bounds first men­ tioned, containing about ten square rods, be the same more or less.” The old County Road mentioned in the description of the Beale to Greene deed is now no longer traveled, the woodland yet exists, the monument stands alone, unkept and a bit grue­ some in the forest. The rambler in the woods may stumble upon the site of the monument but its melancholy inscriptions will have no meaning to the casual visitor, beyond, the mere chiseled record of a tragedy of long ago. A reading of the 4 �inscriptions thereon may challenge a lover of the recondite to ascertain whether M. Louise Greene was “A Martyr to the Prejudice and Caprice of Man.” The story of M. Louise Greene involves the honor of a recognized institution of learning, the passionate love of a father for a daughter, his equally passionate hatred of a school and its head, and the lamentable fact that the daughter by herself admitted conduct and guilt? became amenable to the discipline of the school and its head, neither of which would put the stamp of approval on such conduct as M. Louise Greene admitted to be hers. The history of the death of M. Louise Greene is found in two pamphlets: (1) “The Crown Won but Not Worn” or “M. Louise Greene, a Student of Five Years at Kents Hill, Maine,” by Jonas Greene, Bos­ ton, 1867. “Libel Refuted and Reply to Greene’s Pam­ phlet, by the Trustees of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary, Kents Hill.” Lewiston Journal, 1868. The files of the Lewiston Journal show under date of May 29, 1866, a “local” as to a missing young woman. An edi­ torial under date of June 2, 1866, was entitled “Missing, a Sad Case.” June 9, 1866, appeared a “local” as to the pur­ chase of poison by the missing woman* June 10, 1866, ap­ peared a “local” on a general search. June 11, 1866, appeared a “local” that nothing had been discovered as a result of the search. June 13, 1866, appeared a card of thanks to citizens for assistance in the search. Such was the hue and cry to find M. Louise Greene. Her body was found at the spot where the monument was after­ ward erected, October 13, 1866, and she is buried in East Peru Cemetery and her headstone bears the inscription “A Martyr to the Prejudice and Caprice of Man,” “In Our Father’s House the Wicked Cease from Troubling and the Weary are at Rest.” In the Greene pamphlet, “The Crown Won, but Not Worn,” Jonas Greene states briefly the history of the tragedy. “The reading portion of the community, generally, in Maine, and thousands out of this State, have heard of the sad tragedy which tran­ spired at Auburn, near Lewiston, not long since: how M. Louise Greene, a student at the Female College at Kents Hill, Me., left that institution in a wretched state of mind, on the 23rd day of May, 18G6, travelled to Lewiston, was seen weeping in Auburn, purchased poison, and mys­ teriously disappeared; how her father, for many weary and anxious 5 �days and weeks, searched in and around Lewiston, for his lost child; how he employed detectives, circulated handbills and photographs all over the State; while the kind and sympathizing people of Lewiston, Auburn, Lisbon and other places generously assisted him in many ways, and by hundreds, in searching the wood, the canals, and river to no purpose; and how her bleached remains were accidentally discovered in a lonely spot in the forest, in Auburn, in October- following.” What was the cause of the wretched state of mind of M. Louise Greene, May 23, 1866? It seems that M. Louise Greene entered the Maine Wes­ leyan Seminary at Kents Hill in March 1861. After a pre­ paratory course of two years she entered the Female College Department of that institution and continued a student until May 23, 1866. During the latter part of her course she had been the source of annoyance to the faculty of the institution in that she had frequently broken the rule about leaving “the Hill” without permission. Assuming M. Louise Greene was a woman of proud and high spirit, there is nothing to criticise overmuch on such conduct except that she did not conform to the rules of the institution in which she was a student. In April 1865 Dr. H. ''?? Torsey, the head of the school, had an interview with her in which he remonstrated with her about her attitude towards the rules of the school and its discipline. So matters passed until May 1866. Miss Greene left the school a Wednesday, May 23, 1866. Monday evening previous Dr. Torsey was informed that M. Louise Greene had been taking articles of clothing not belonging to her and the Doctor also learned that Miss Greene had taken some money. On the Wednesday Miss Greene left the school Dr. Torsey had an interview with her. She spoke of having taken clothing before, and said some­ thing about intending to return it at the close of the term. As to the money she said, “a devil tempted me to take it.” As a result of the interview Miss Greene said she would leave the school. She was twenty-two years of age. It was sug­ gested by Miss Greene that she would go to her uncle’s home in Lewiston and write her father to meet her there. Dr. Torsey urged her to go to her parents and she promised to go to them. Dr. Torsey suggested that she start soon after dinner. Learning that Miss Greene had made her departure in her everyday clothing and had gone to Lewiston instead of to her parents in Peru, Dr. Torsey sent a student with Miss Greene’s sister to the father at Peru and charged the sister to explain all. The preceptress of the school, Miss Frances S. Case, made 6 �:/ v' ■ . ' ' - 1 ■ ■’v\ '* - 1 L- .- • ■. <?■ r?i' L- Ki i -:■ ■ . MH ■■ '"-V 7 ■ • ■ ' ■ ' �an affidavit printed in the reply to the Greene pamphlet, in which she stated in an interview with Miss Greene at which a Mr. and Mrs. Daggett, the steward and stewardess of the institution, were present, that Miss Greene confessed she took $5 from a Miss Church’s room, that she had taken clothing which did not belong to her and that she intended to return the clothing at the end of the term. It also appeared from this affidavit that Miss Greene possessed a skeleton key. As to the skeleton key it appears from the Greene pamphlet that Miss Greene had possessed this key for about three years. That Miss Greene used the key is evident from the affidavit of Miss Emma C. Huntington printed in the trustees’ pam­ phlet, who says that while sitting locked in her room in the spring of 1865 a knock was heard at her door. She made no answer or movement. Immediately she heard a key put into the lock and someone turning the key. She arose, looked to see what was about to happen, saw the door open and Miss M. Louise Greene entered the room. “She said her key would fit one of the doors nearby and thought she would try it in mine.” The state of mind of this unfortunate woman then on the morning of Wednesday, May 23, 1866, was that she was charged by the authorities of the school with theft, that she confessed to the theft, that she had to meet her parents with this accusation, that she was of age, that she was to leave the school of her own accord and unhonored with its certifi­ cate of graduation. The case against M. Louise Greene con­ sists of three charges: (1) The possession of a skeleton key. As to this no great wrong can be ascribed. (2) The posses­ sion of clothing not hers, but this can be explained by a lax method of sorting clothing in the wash. (3) The theft of five dollars in money which Miss Greene confessed she took. The unfortunate woman wrote in her unhappy state, two letters, one to her sister and one to her classmates, and these letters are here printed. Letter of Miss Greene to her sister Chestina, pzMished in Mr. Greene’s book, page 39, and in the Trustees’ pamphlet, page 56. “In the cars, Wednesday, A. M. “MY MUCH LOVED BUT DEEPLY WRONGED SISTER,—In leav­ ing you, as I have, I am sensible that there is in store for you morti­ fication and a share of my disgrace. “Dr. Torsey informed me this morning that I had better leave to-day; ‘not expulsion,’ he said, ‘we won’t call it that, but I advise you to go home.’ Practically, it amounts to the same thing, however. How I feel, God only knows; you never can; and my bitterest agony is for the dear ones at home, on whom must fall some share in this disgrace. 8 �Satan, or some evil spirit, must have led me into this. If I know my­ self, it was not the true, real Louise Greene, that did this. She was trying to live an honest, womanly life; or, if she was, indeed, drifting into disgrace, she never realized it. I can feel myself guilty of but one crime,—the taking of five dollars from Miss Church. No other was alleged against me, but the having of those unmarked articles of cloth­ ing; and, as I live, I had no intention of stealing them. For- every article I took, I had lost one in the wash, and put these on in their stead, expecting, before the term was done, to find my own. There was, in some sort, a necessity for this; for instance:—I came to college with three or four good, whole drawers,—two pairs of which were new ones, —and to-day, as I ride away, I have none. They were lost in the wash because unmarked. Was it so strange that I should put on others, also unmarked, in their stead? I tell you this, that you may know what I have done, and why I did it. That five dollars is a mystery to me. I went on an errand into Miss Church’s room; in her stand drawer laid a partly open porte-monnaie. What possessed me to take the money I do not know; but I took it out. The moment they asked me about it I confessed it. You know the skeleton key I have long had. That told against me; but, after all, I do not think they believed I open rooms with it, for the purpose of taking out things. I certainly never did. Now you know the whole story. It is probably travelling the Hill at this moment with a thousand exaggerations. God pity me! I never thought to come to this. Do not tell any one anything in this. It will be use­ less to try to stem the tide; bend beneath it, or it will break you down. Say nothing of excuse or palliation. In my heart I feel that you will not say aught of condemnation. It is a great deal to ask; perhaps you cannot do it now; but some time will you not try to forgive me? Live down all this. It is no real disgrace to you, though it may seem so. Make friends with the teachers, and with the people of God; they will strengthen you. Here I think was my fault; I tried to stand on the Hill alone, and I fell. “LOUISE.” The letter of Miss Greene to her class, printed in the Greene pamphlet, page 35, and not printed in the Trustees’ pamphlet. “At a Way Station, in the cars. “FOR THE CLASS—SCHOOLMATES—Once my own darlings (for I have no right to claim you now), I would rathei- die by slow torture than write you this letter. But I feel it a duty. Who wrongs himself, wrongs his friends. God forgive me! but I believe there is no soul on earth that stands nearer the gates of utter despair than mine does at this moment. I have always said, ‘A man who will steal will lie, will do anything bad.’ “Perhaps you will feel so; but, oh! do hear my story. Do not believe that through all these past years spent with you I have been acting a lie. As I live, I never touched a cent of money that was not my own, except this once. They tried to make me account for all the little things that have been missed through the term; but I could not. I have not had them. A skeleton key, given me years ago, I had, that looked as though I might have used it wrongfully. God knows my heart! I never did. One other thing I did,—I have been in the habit of doing. When I came to the college I brought many unmarked clothes, some of them new ones. When I missed things from the wash, I took others (un­ marked ones) from the table, and used them. They put this with that, 9 �I and altogether it did look bad. But if my own garments had not come by the close of the term, I should have left these where I got them,— in the wash. Now you know all. My distress is bitter enough; but the shame that I bring upon you,—upon the home friends,—I cannot express it. O my darlings! my darlings! I thought the parting would be hard enough two weeks from now; but this—I cannot even call you mine now! The greatest favor I can ask is, drop me from your remem­ brance and some time—you cannot do it now, I know; but do, won’t you some time forgive me? Forgive me; forget me; pray do! I ask it in the name of all who have sinned and suffered,—in the name of my own bitter anguish,-—in the name of all that I have been, or hoped to be TO you and WITH you. I do not know what tempted me. I went out to Miss Church’s room one evening, without any such thought in my heart. She was gone. Her table-drawer was open; her porte-monnaie, open too. Some satan, hidden in my heart, said, Take it; and before I could think, I stood again in 27. When it was done, I would fain have replaced it; but could not without discovery. The only thing I have to be glad of is, that I did not deny when asked. Everything that was asked me I told the truth about, as near as I could in my distracted state of mind. This storm has only been gathering since yesterday. I tried to read my Bible last night, but could not. I don’t believe I shall ever pray again, except to say, Father, forgive me. And He will not hear. How, then, can I expect your pardon! If I could have had an opportunity to retrieve the past at the Hill,—if this thing had not been made public property and common talk,—maybe there might have been a future for me; but now—I think maybe I am not exactly as I used to be while I write this; for my head whirls, and I cannot seem to think,—to say what I am trying to say. Did you love me any? Do you love me any now? It seems as though my heart must have some assurance of this, or it will burst; and yet I know it cannot be. I could not go to see you this morning; I did not dare; and yet I could have died for one friendly hand-grasp, and thought it happiness to die. Will some of you call Mary Chapman into your room and read her this? that is, if you think best. What I write here I put into your hands. I am not capable of saying what should be done with it. Decide for me. Act as you would have others do, if it were possible for you to be in this place. I can hear even now the thousand buzzing rumors flying over the Hill. 0 my God! what am I that I should have been left to do this thing? Dear girls, it may seem presumptuous in me now to ask a favor; but if you could only find it in your hearts to be kind to my sister,—my poor sister Ches.;—oh! if I could only prevent her from being punished for my sins, I would bear my own bitterness alone. “I do not know what will become of me. If I get home, do not do anything with this letter; if not, will you please send it to my mother before term closes? O mother! my mother! If it were your mother, girls, what should you say? what would you do? “Mr. Schwagerl said to me this morning, one sentence, ‘Remember your Saviour.’ I have been saying it over all the way here. I thank him for saying that always. Mary Chapman, you tell him so; but I don’t know. The Saviour is an iron door, I think, to me—shut, bolted.. I never realised before that my life was drifting into this downward current. I cannot think it was. I came to the top of a great precipice,, did I not? and because I had been trying to walk alone on Kent’s Hill,. I fell. Well if it had destroyed life with character; but it did not. “I keep writing and writing because I can’t say the last word; but I must. * I 10 ■ �“I have read this over, or tried to, and it is not what I would say. I cannot write more; I cannot write again. I cannot even ask you to write to me. What could you say? I don’t want you to. “My darlings! my darlings! this good-by is a thousand times more bitter than was the laying away of my dead. “Addies, Lydias, Sarahs, Mary and Abby,—how good your names look to me! You have all been good to me. “Good-by. “LOUISE.” Out of it all comes the bald truth, that M. Louise Greene was a self-confessed pilferer of money, that she was of age, that she left Kents Hill of her own accord, that she agreed to return to her parents, that she went to Lewiston, instead of to Peru where her parents lived. Immediately on learning of the departure of his daughter M. Louise Greene from the school at Kents Hill, Jonas Greene sought to find her. He became embroiled in a bitter contro­ versy with the institution and its head, Dr. H. P. Torsey. He charged Dr. Torsey with cruelty, with responsibility for the death of his daughter, with belittling her piety and refusing his help in the difficulties in which she found herself. In his pamphlet, “The Crown Won but Not Worn,” he sets forth in language at times scurrilous his version of the sad affair. This pamphlet is a statement of the life of M. Louise Greene and her accomplishments. It contains certificates of her character and her worth by her neighbors and friends. It argues the loss of clothing was a responsibility of the school. It describes the relations of M. Louise Greene as to the dis­ cipline of the school. It impugns the methods of those having in charge the school. It sets forth the last letters of his daughter. It quotes affidavits of her classmates as to her amiable qualities. It quotes her accomplishments in literary subjects. The pamphlet is replete with invective charging prejudice, misunderstanding and gross cruelty toward M. Louise Greene on the part of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and its officers and teachers. It is particularly bitter in its arraignment of Dr. Torsey, and closes with these words: . “In view of all that has transpired on the Hill, and the course Torsey has pursued towards Louise while under his care and since she died, his disposition shown to, and the treatment of her friends, I must say, I loathe and detest this miserable compound of intrigue and deception, and desire him to be kept out of my sight and mind if possible. I will not attempt to call him deserved names, as I can And no terms in the English language that will do him justice.” To this pamphlet the Maine Wesleyan Seminary made reply in the pamphlet “Libel Refuted: A Reply to Greene’s Pam11 �phlet.” This reply is a dignified statement of the connection of M. Louise Greene with Kents Hill. It bears resolutions of confidence on the part of the trustees in Dr. Torsey. It contains affidavits as to the treatment of Miss Greene in her last days at the school by the authorities. It shows conclu­ sively that Miss Greene left the school of her own accord, that pilfering was proved against her, that no prejudice or ill will was shown towards her. There are various affidavits which show Dr. Torsey was an impartial disciplinarian and an ex­ cellent teacher. It takes up each complaint of Mr. Greene and makes fair and candid answer to them. It bears two extracts from letters of Mrs. Greene to Dr. Torsey which show the temper of the Greene family. These extracts are printed on page 58 of the pamphlet and are here set forth: “Peru, Oct. 14, 1866. “Mr. Torsey—Sir: The victim of your revenge, persecution and tyranny was found dead in Auburn, yesterday, . . . “Our opinion of you is that you are a base scoundrel and a black­ hearted murderer, and we, every one of us, not only consider you so, but others look upon you in the same light. ... “LOUISE M. GREENE.” I “Peru, Me., May 23, 1867. “Mr. Torsey—Sir: One year ago to-day, Louise received her death­ blow from you, fleeing from your presence as from a tiger. . . . “While God spares your life and mine, as often as the anniversary of poor Louise’s death returns, I shall write to those who we honestly and firmly believe were the cause of her death. “We still think you are a base scoundrel and black-hearted murderer; we think you willfully and purposely neglected sending to us, so that the poor distracted creature might get beyond our reach. Nothing but the influence of a rich, powerful and corrupt denomination can save you and those connected with you, in this inhuman tragedy, from universal condemnation. . . . “LOUISE M. GREENE.” The inscription on the granite monument on an Auburn hillside states that M. Louise Greene was “A Martyr to the Prejudice and Caprice of Man.” The same sentiment is cut in the monument which marks her last resting place in Peru. More than half a century has passed since this controversy arose which blackened the memory of an unfortunate woman and injured the reputation of an institution of learning for youth. Time is a great healer. The controversy is all but forgot­ ten. The parties who participated therein are for the most part dead and the bitterness of the attack of Jonas Greene on the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and its trustees and its teachers is all but lost in the years, but the monument and 12 �the two pamphlets remain; the one with its assertions as to the prejudice and caprice of man, the other with its written records of the sad affair. A perusal of the pamphlets may lead one to think Miss Greene’s offenses might have been condoned and her face saved, but the fact stands forth that she admitted her guilt and the conclusion must obtain if she was the victim of the prejudice and caprice of man, that preju­ dice and caprice is best expressed in the passionate and vin­ dictive conduct of her father and can not be found in the officers and teachers of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary. If her father was the passionate, vindictive man his pamphlet shows him to be, M. Louise Greene knew she had to meet that condition when she went forth from Maine Wesleyan Semi­ nary in disgrace May 23, 1866, and fear of her father and consciousness of her guilt led her to commit the lamentable act of suicide rather than to face her parent. In that sense alone was she “A Martyr to the Prejudice and Caprice of Man.” The effort of Jonas Greene to injure and defame the reputation of a school and its head by cutting in enduring granite an assertion of the martyrdom of his daughter finds no justification other than in his own prejudiced and capri­ cious spirit, which warped his judgment and embittered his heart.

Throughout the year we experienced all the many gifts this diverse individual had to offer. He taught a challeng­ ing and always stimulating academic agenda in the form of psychology and sociology. On the ski slope and playing field we saw him as a dedicated coach promoting his athletes on with endless energy, and culturing their ability with his great knowledge of the various sports. Mr. Beedy has also served as a major source of creativeness, giving and arranging a multitude of musical performances. In all walks of school life Mr. Beedy has given himself in a most honorable way seeking to enrich our lives. He has been a great example, we were often inspired by his creativity and excitement. We the Class of 1982 take our hats off to you Mr. Beedy! Thank you for making our year at Kents Hill one we will never forget! May you continue to serve people in your most sincere way. We will surely miss you next year. Bye Beeds, take care!! Michael Martin ’82 1^1 2 �L | - • L': 1 ■ “From Friends to a Friend It’s a lonely road I’m travelin and yes it does sometime hurt inside.

He has no magic cure for ailments, but just a heart for peoples cries. If I can remember back a few years confused? No, just growing tears but whose is this hand out to touch me, a hand that bleeds with ours it must be, one who knows the pain attempts to stop the rain, with Mister Sunshine! So here’s Mister Sunshine with the love he brings breaking through like sharks out of light in this murky din, and we love him. So it is into the world we go an everchanging state. Deep in our hearts we will keep his smiles and crazy ways. His warmth to bring you out of a cold mood. The song he sings you into smile! He shall forever be remembered. So here is a love song to brighten up your day, from friends to a friend who shall forever know our ways.

The tools to which I refer are unlike those traditionally used in building a structure or remodeling an inanimate object and yet their power and effectiveness is many time's stronger. They are the “tools” of the intellect, of the spirit and of the emotions. Used properly, they can overcome any obstacle, open new vistas or create new opportunity. The school provided the protective environment. The faculty provided counsel and encouragement. Your friends and peers offered competition and affirmation. Each of these resources brought you one step further toward the mature being where “tools” will be most helpful. You are on sound footing; the future is a new challenge. I wish you well on this new journey. I can’t be with you as you face new experiences, but I am confident that your decisions will be lor the good of all and that you shall use the “tools” for the improvement of your world. Wish best wishes always, I remain. Sincerely, Donald M.

The season began quickly as our team mowed down opponent after opponent until parents weekend when we suffered defeat at the hands of Hampden Academy 15-13. The Huskies bounced back to win the reamining games of the season and the conference championship. We were very strong in the backfield with All-Mass, running back Todd McAniff who is now attending UMO on a football grant. The 6'1" 205 pound running back was completely devastating in the open field. Blessed with tremendous speed he was tough to bring down as was All-State half back Mike Dolan. Dolan also proved to be a real team leader. Crunching fullback Ron Dingwell out of Revere, Mass, picked up thenecessary yards up the middle. Joel Comer terrorized defen­ sive backs with his speed. In the meantime the defense was anchored KB by linebacker Chris Currier, a former All-State teammate of McAniff from Newburyport, Mass. Jim Walsh did the quarterbacking. No one knows what next year will bring but it is safe to say that this team’s play will be difficult to match. i >8 I I a ' r i Todd McAniff, big, fast and UMO bound led the team in rushing. b- Joey Macomber kicks the extra point.

The girls proved that were not about to go through the season unnoticed in the wake of a successful boy’s football season. Leading the offensive parade was Vanessa Walling with 13 goals. Other scorers included Rhonda Bryant at center forward, Sue Gann at right inner, Jackie Gillen at right wing and Kim Sullivan at center half. Sullivan may prove to be one of the best fieldhockey players ever to set foot on the KH field. Debbie Miller held down the goal position after Kirstin Geldhof was injured. Very little got by Miller in the goal as she often frustrated opposing teams and coaches. On the defense we had such stalwarts as Sarah Worth, Monica Shiel, and Lynda Manheimer. Next year looks bright with a number of varsity players returning along with improving JV players. Sarah Worth winds up for the pass. Vanessa Walling was a deadly terror to opposing goalies.

We were blessed with some fine talent but half-way into the season the team found itself in the middle of an identity crisis. The character of the team was tested time and time again. We adjusted and played better as seen against Bates College frosh. We lost but it was a very close an well played game throughout. Our season was highlighted with a fine 4-2 overtime vic­ tory against Gould. Scout Wuerthner was the MVP of the season. Wge Ellis won the “Plaque Award.” Sean O’Connell represented speed at midfield and Mike Martin became the team leader. 32 �e«’ w >1 i z Beale goes high for the head. Coach Olsen often found his team one goal shy of victory. Henry Ogden might find himself playing the sweeper position next year. 33 �JR IB 3 A-*! Kftj-j' 2jzo I 3 17^ -C 4 BaUreS1 K1 <7.1. .

The record is only a small part of much of the success that took place. There were a number of good individual performances from John Barbarisi and Bob Newell. Jeff Beale, a starter on the varsity soccer team was the team’s number two man behind Barbarisi. Keith Stuart was the team’s most improved runner while Barbarisi won the most valuable player award. Barbarisi was only defeated once during the season. Coach Waller is optimistic about next year with many of runners returning. 7 Coach Waller J CROSS-COUNTRY: left front, J. Barbarisi, S. King, J.

They began the year by winning three out of their first four games. A remarkable feat in light of the fact that they already had won more games than in the previous two years com­ bined. Coach Holly Getz was optimistic in the early part of the season that things might turn out well. The team finished the season with a very impressive 8-5 record. The team was led by Kim Sullivan who usually scored double figures and grabbed as many rebounds. Rhonda Bryant, an excellent ball-handling guard also contributed to the point production. Barbara Armstrong improved tremendously as the season progressed. Tracy Sachs and Sharon Higgins gave added strength off the bench. In all our girls team is to be commended with their coach for one of the best efforts seen in history. Coach Holly Getz knew the game well. a [**■ I t--'. taS S * A ‘ I ! Winning is nice.

Our ski teams for the first time in near­ ly four years were able to utilize the ski hill as early as Thanksgiving, and from that point on the snow never stopped. The use of edging and carved turns was emphasized. Our team’s endurance was built with some hard running of the ski hill in boots. Coach Beedy carried a large squad this year of about 30 athletes. Returning racers were Don Deats, Andy Ezequelle, Ken Epstein, Andy Webster, Trace Robertson, and Jock Wright. The girls team consisted of Lynda Manheimer, Vanessa Walling, and Kirstin Geldhof and Sarah Worth. Our team faired well against some stiff competition. Don Deats came on strong as did Jock Wright. Tom Utter will be graduating. The coach can look forward to having Ezequelle, and Wright back. It is too early to tell at this point but coach Beedy is again expecting 1983 to bring lots of new snow and talent.

The skillful DiGiulian broke Mark Marshall’s record ’80 of 31 goals. DiGiulian had plenty of scoring sup­ port from MVP Steve Cotton. Doug Stinson proved to be devastating in the goal. Stinson will be back for another year. The Huskie’s season was highlighted with a trip to Hyde to play the Maine Prep All-Stars. The game was close throughout. Our team played brilliantly in that game losing by a one goal margin. Next year looks promising with a number of returning let­ termen in the likes of Joey Macomber, Paul Jones, Mark Bos, Jock Wright, Corey Judd, Jim McCoskey, Ron Gee, Pete Zoch, Wayne Ran­ dall, and Dan O’Hara.

Crane Awaits 1983 Season It was another long season for Coach Dick Crane. The girls softball team found it difficult enough to learn the basic skills let alone trying to compete against teams that were experienced. At times our team looked like the female version of the “Bad News Bears.” About the only thing missing was a camera crew to record it on film. Never­ theless there were some strong players like Kim Sullivan and Rhonda Bryant. They are to be commended for their Kim Sullivan will be back for 83.

Our team however did about as well as they could considering how inex­ perienced they were. They were built on younger talent and played well as a team. There were also a few in­ dividuals that stood out. Experienced and skilled athletes like David Hjorth at first and pitchers Chris Shipe and Bain Walling. These people provided the nucleus of a team that played gallantly when the going was tough. Bain Walling was excellent on the mound. Chris Shipe J ! •'’ \.

Schaedel had some clutch victories over Hyde and Hebron. Henry Odgen provided the spirit for the team and will be next year’s captain. Wge Ellis, a senior, won the Plaque Award for his outstanding leadership. KH can look forward to another strong year with everyone returning except Ellis.

They finished the season with a very good record of 7 wins and 5 losses. Big wins came over strong Hyde and Hebron teams. Leading the way was number one singles player Barbara Armstrong and number two singles player Jackie Gillen. The number one doubles team of Jane Alvord and Molly Bando proved to be solid for the season. Gillen, Alvord and Moulton will be graduating but the team can look forward to some strong players returning next year in the likes of Cindy Curry and Linda Manheimer.

What more can be said about someone who long jumps over 21 feet, pole vaults 13 feet, triple jumps 42 feet, hurdles in 15.2, throws the javelin 175 feet, runs sub 5 in the mile. It is easy to understand why Jeff Beale was selected the MVP of the track team. In all it was a good season for our track team. Other impressive performances came from Barbarisi in the mile and two mile. Bobby Newell also proved to be strong in the middle distances. He will be returning for the 1983 season. New comers to the sport were Steve Lebowitz, a big strong runner in the 440 and 880. He will be somebody to watch in ’83 along with Bill Bird, who demonstrated as a freshman that he has excellent speed and jumping ability. Ken Epstein gave our team points in the weight events along with John Walker, David Hjorth and lacrosse star Joey Macomber.

The faculty member responsible for bringing girls’ lacorsse comes from the middle Atlantic region of the country which is an area that has been a tradi­ tional “hotbed” in lacrosse for many years. Ms. Betsy Bowen, a former All-American college player was anxious to start a program at Kents Hill that could compete with other Maine private schools. At the start of the season, sixteen girls tried out for the team, and twelve of those eventually became varsi­ ty players who did battle against Gould, Hebron, and Waynelete. It is a remarkable testimony to those athletes that they were able to compete against and eventually beat teams which fielded serious and seasoned lacrosse players. Our team had to learn the skills and strategy of the game from scratch. In five games, we scored 35 goals against the opponents and scored a major victory in the final game of the season against Waynelete. Since the tradition of lacrosse has gained strong spirit and enthusiasm at the school from the boys’ faction, it will be no surprise to see girls’ lacrosse program rise to greatness at KH in the years to come.

Students and faculty were offered a wide variety of programs. In all there was something for everybody. For example the program began with some light entertainment in the Buckfield Leather and Lather Show. Not only were they entertain­ ing but the audience was presented the idea as to how theatre began in America. The classical arts programs came in the form of The Portland String Quartet and the Boston Shakespeare Company. The final programs ended on a Igihter note with the Mime World of Tony Montonaro and the Art of Black Dance and Music, a program which “rocked” our campus. Many peo­ ple are to be thanked for bringing a great program to the students of Kents Hill. Much of the recognition must go to Mr. Rand Erb who organized the committee that chose the programs. The members of that committee were Mr. George Dunn, Mr. Jeff Beedy and Mrs. Sandy Elder. We the Class of ’82 would like to thank all those who helped bring to our campus these great artists. — Bob Stone ’82 57 �Snow Helps Promote Winter Carnival Spirit Ceasar would have been proud of us for trying to emulate the theme of Ancient Rome for Winter Car­ nival 1982. The spirit of Rome was high in the air but dare say the Romans would have been a little surprised at the massive amounts of snow which covered our campus. The various teams took to the snow. On the corners of campus the Roman Empire was being built in the form of snow sculptures. In the meantime, basketball, volleyball and broomball were being played at various times and places around the campus. Much of the. success of the Carnival must be attributed to Joe Sommers. At the winter dance we honored the King, Bob Allen and Queen, Fan­ ny Esformes.

In late March, Ricker Hall burst alive with the sounds of rehearsal ancT songs such as “A Wonderful Day Like Today,” “My First Love Song,” and “Who Can I Turn To” reverberated down the stairwell. And this was the only sweet beginning! Six weeks later, with the help of the entire campus the spunky cast under Mr. Robinson, and Mrs. Rotondo, enchanted students, faculty, parents and townspeople for three consecutive performances at Springfest. Names like Cocky, Sir, The Kid, and all those slightly bizarre Urchins became household words ... well, at least in this Household. The musical, written by English writers Anthony B. Nenly and Leslie Bricusse, met rave reviews and by far was the most technically complex Kents Hill show to date. Sir and Cocky, from two different classes, meet to play the game and by the end, Cocky got a tad of understanding. Sir got told off, and the audience simply got a spectacular show that they will be humming about for years to come! J — Rob as “S r" IL ’ ' 1’ Bob Stone as Cocky The Urchins fl CAST Sir.............

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. We ended our season with a victory over M. C. I. A great deal of credit goes to that important member, the goalie. Joanne Drew let only eight balls go by her in all six games.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Kents Hill The varsity basketball team under the coaching and careful guidance of Miss Fairbank was successful in the sense that it showed excellent sportsmanship and teamwork. The team was very well balanced, but much credit must be given to Jean Penta and Cynthia Cleveland for their consistent and outstandingly good per­ formances. The most exciting game of the year was the Winter Carnival game with Lawrence High. Kents Hill was in the lead until the last few minutes of the game when a Lawrence team member made the fatal basket and made the score 21-20 in favor of Lawrence. Cynthia Cleveland also proved her ability as the manager of the team. Virginia Truche Sallie Hamilton �Third Row:' Second Row: First Row: KENTS HELL HOCKEY TEAM Mr. Swett, D. Doten, G.

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.

The season turned out to be a banner one, with our girls emerging victorious in each of four meets. 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.

Tom Burgess turned in the best performance with three first places in 100-, 220-, and 440-yard dashes. Bob Rooney also placed, taking a first in the shot put and discus. In the meet with Farmington, the Kents Hill team met a little more oppo­ sition and lost 69 to 38. Tom Burgess and Paul Buswell took their usual first places in the 440 and the high jump, respectively. Next came a quadruple meet at M. C. I. Kents Hill’s team came in second with twenty-five points. Burgess took two firsts and Buswell one. Charlie Arm­ strong turned in a fine performance, entering in four events and placing among the top four in three of them. In the final contest the Hilltoppers were completely outclassed by Hebron and Bridgton in a tri-meet at Hebron. After the regular season Burgess, Burtt, Armstrong, and Sterling were en­ tered in the Bates Relays by Coach Swett where they took a second in the 880yard relay race.

Lake and Rider were the only players to collect three or more hits for every ten trips to the plate. Roger, by the way, was the mainstay of the team with his hitting, pitching, and fielding prowess. 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. The following received baseball letters at the annual spring Sports Banquet: Roger Lake, Reginald Rider, Richard Hartman, Gardner Richardson, Richard Flood, Frank Deininger, Keith Springer, Merrill Bartlett, John Boutilier, John Hamilton, and Manager Charles Frank.

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. In the spring, when playing other schools, we expect to profit from this. Joyce Wheeler �r mu □ II II B * (. \ 1/ Third Row: Second Row: First Row: ws z * \ KENTS HILL VARSITY SOFTBALL TEAM, 1947 J.

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. That season witnessed many good hits, runs, and plays by Kents Hill and we hope for another good showing in 1948.

Under Mr. Goldthwait’s guidance, the first organized tennis team at Kents Hill prepared for two matches with Hebron Academy. 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. It was a good season and we enjoyed Mr. Goldthwait’s coaching. This year we are looking forward to several matches with Hebron Academy and other schools.

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. Their parting cheer for the Kents Hill teams for the future is: V-I-C-T-O-R-Y Come on Kents Hill do or die, V-I-C-T-O-R-Y Victory, victory is our cry! Jean Penta Sallie Hamilton �fl !

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!

By the way, though, you’ll love this-I, Nancy C. Jackson Rapaport, am taking dancing lessons from that noted Professor Dwelley! Hugh s real job is helping Billy Rose with all his girls, but he teaches dancing on the side. This will be a surprise to you. Shirley Cook is starring in a picture with Lou Howard. Be sure to see her in ROMANCE UNDER THE SUN. Dick Shea is Master of Ceremonies for Take It or Leave It, and he has just given Phyllis Rolfe an all-expense trip to Florida for answering the Jackpot question. In case you want some toothpaste cheap, Chuck Snow is running a toothpaste factory. Dottie Osborne’s son, now seven years old, will be on the Quiz Kids program this Sunday night--be sure to listen. Gerry Cowperthwaite has given up the potato business and has just been promoted to president of the New York Stock Exchange. Nancy Buttner inherited a couple of million, so she has decided to build a mountain 15,000 feet high at Plymouth. She can have fun skiing now. Larry Jaspon built a gym in Worcester, and he and Hazel are pulling in carloads of money. Bob Fisher is still playing his ukelele, and he has won first prize for being the most talented ukelele player in the United States. His old roc..„.,„^, ommate, E Butch Voorhees, is running Smiling Butch’s Tavern in Andover. Eight-ball Walters is still racking „ thlem up at the tavern! Butch is going to give him a raise pretty soon. Foofa Fowler has discovered a new ’ v „ way to bring up horses--feeding them potatoes. This, I understand, gives them a lot of energy. Jane Stanford is " .s working for Foofai on his dude ranch. She can really bring those horses in. Busty Gingras is Kents Hill’s new resident doctor. He took over Mrs. Lithgow’s place. I don t know whether it is an improvement or not. Freddie Gibbs wanted to do something for his aunt in Augusta who was so good to him while he was going to Kents Hill. He has sent her on an extended tour. Pete Haskell is in the furniture business and is supplying Kents Hill all the new beds.

He says he has a black eye more beautiful than one he had back in 1950. Chuck Hinkley has changed his name to Paderewski Hinkilonski and is to play at Carnegie Hall. Carleton Harvey has taken Digger O’Dell’s place on the radio. I understand business is going on the rocks. That isn’t like Digger. Maggie Griffin is married to Merrill Cowperthwaite, and they are running a farm on Kents Hill. I think they are supplying the school with all their fresh vegetable::S. Ed Williams is building a new indoor hockey rink for the school, which is supposed to be the best in the state. Carolyn Wyman is Mayor of Boston. Boston is really going places, Curley couldn’t have had anything to do with that. Weston Locke has entered the ministry. He got his inspiration from Mr. Dunn’s chapel talks. Dee Nowell is Dean of Women at the University of Miami. Bet they never hear of room detention there. Jerry Mayhew had a race with Mr. Gordon down the Empire State Building stairs. Believe it or not, Jerry won. Jack must be getting old. Allan Mead is Senator of New Jersey. Guess he beat Sparky’s Dad for the job. Rosie Rutherford has donated a ski tow to Kents Hill. Maybe they’ll win a few meets now. Ma Rodzen is running Ye Olde Ladies Dress Shoppe in Steep Falls. She should get a lot of busi­ ness, especially in re-designing strapless evening gowns. Roberta Scripture is teaching Spanish at Kents Hill. I wonder how she got that job! The coach of the new Kents Hill swimming team is Jean Cressy. She will probably take on water skiing next, poor kid. Grace Burwood is running the Kents Hill night club specializing in hot dogs--if you get up that way, be sure and get one. And if you don’t have a car to ride in, you can call Barbara Galouch’s cabs. Barbara has put Moody’s taxi company out of business. Margie Giffin has taken the honor of being Miss America in her usual sensible stride—she’s back at her old job of coaching track at Smith College. Dave Dunham is busy promoting dog food—get “Duno” for YOUR pup. Olive Getchell and Geraldine Boiley are competing for an opening in the Mount Vernon school system—the first-grade teacher has left. Whoever wins, we expect, will keep up the usual Mount Vernon standards, scholastically. Well, Betsy and Chuck, be good and say “hello” to your five little basketball players for us. As always, Jim and Nancy Good to know news of the class of ’50, isn’t it?

FRESHMAN YEAR September 17, 1946: Classes started today for us confused, newly-arrived Freshmen. We envy the upperclassmen who know just where to go. What a maze of rooms it seems! By week’s end, though, we feel as if we had never attended another school. (Let me say right here that Mildred Bean, Geraldine Boiley, Gerald Cowperthwaite, Barbara Galouch, Olive Getchell, Marguerite Griffin, Eleanor Ladd, Phyllis Rolfe, Roger Walters, Robert Wight, and Carolyn Wyman, some of these same timid Freshmen, have managed to survive the Kents Hill test for four whole years!) I November 10: Miss Canham’s English class on third floor is quiet. We can hear faint strains of music and look forward to the time when we take English IV so that we, too, can listen to ballads on records. I December 15: The beautiful Christmas Candelight service at Torsey Memorial Church will leave us with sweet memories, i January 28-31, 1947: Our first sample of what real exams are like—the two-hour exam in every subject. If we sleep on our books, will it really help us to remember? Mr. Gordon says that the scientific answer is NO. But then we discover, that exams aren’t so bad after all. What a relief to have a whole long weekend without any studying to do, though! It is Winter Carnival Weekend, too, with the suspense of, “Who will be chosen king and queen?” How we admire Queen Eva Scott and King Jim Sterling...... April 20: Dr. Drumm of Augusta is giving a vesper service talk on the subject of indifference. The Hallowell State Girls’ School choir is singing at this special service. This is indeed a sermon and concert to remember. 8;. Graduation day for the Seniors and the last day of school for us gives us a feeling of freedom. We Freshmen look to the day when we, too, in cap and gown, will march onto the stage and receive our diplomas.

Amazing costumes cider, and doughnuts add their bit, too. November 14: We’ve looked forward to today’s vesper service. Our friend, Rev. Cymbrid Hughes of Portland, always gives us such witty yet thought-provoking talks. Today’s message is just as good as usual, and Mr. Hughes and a slippery ride through a not-so-humorous sleet storm to bring it to us, too. December 12: Tea and tiny cupcakes, Christmas trees and tinsel, topped off with Christmas carols—that’s for today. January 8: ‘‘Wurzel-Flummery” and ‘‘Once a Pupil,” two one-act plays, were prepared by Miss Russell for tonight’s entertainment. Dave Dunham of our class performed. February 5: Westbrook, Deering, Waynflete, Fryeburg, and the Universities of Maine and New Hampshire have sent gals here today with an eye on our Ski Trophy. After the meet, at a get-together at Blethen Hall, Westbrook Junior College was awarded that prize. February 27: Kents Hill is 125 years old today, and we’re having a real birthday party with silver decorations, birthday cakes, the pleasure of the company of the Trustees, and a speech by Mr. Newton who knew some of the school’s founders. March 23: Today we received a wonderful gift—a Hammond console organ came from the Maine Wesleyan Board of Edu­ cation. The dedication will be on the 14th of May when these Trustees meet, and we will all enjoy a concert on the new organ. Also May 14: We’re seeing an ambitious three-act play, ‘‘Ring Around Elizabeth.” This is better than a movie. From our class Diane Nowell and Hugh Dwelley give fine performances. June 6: Commencement is here already. Our Classmate, Geraldine Boiley, won the covetedKreger Prize and Junior Honors. ; Well, did you see a dry eye as we parted? SENIOR YEAR September 13, 1949: The year has finally come when we, the Seniors, are the people who receive special attention. New­ comers are Jean Cressy, Robert Fisher, Charles Fowler, Frederick Gibbs, Clifford Gingras, Carleton Harvey, Peter Je; Haskell, Charles Hinkley, Weston Locke, James Rapaport, Roberta Scripture, Richard Shea, Charles Snow, Jane Stanford, Robert Voorhees, Donald Wade, Edward Williams, and William Wilshere. September 14: We find Ricker Hall completely transformed—new library, crafts, and outing club rooms will convenience our studying and activities. We are pleasantly surprised to see Kents Hill lettered in maroon and gray on the sides of the two new and shiny station wagons drawn up behind Blethen Hall. October 13: This is truly October’s bright blue weather. To our joy, Mr. Dunn thrills us in Chapel by announcing a sur­ prise holiday. No more classes on the condition that we stay out all day long and enjoy this wonderful weather. Picnic dinner at the cabin, too! We need no urging... October 21: Today sees the rebirth of the Kents Hill Breeze. Campus news will again be in print as well as coming via grapevine. November 12: We return tired but victorious by a score of 20-13 from the Hebron football game. Our season is complete. We beat Hebron! November 5: Commander and Mrs. McMillan interested us with pictures and tales of the Northland. November 5: Mr. Boerker and some of the boys have been down at the cabin on some Saturday nights enjoying the comfort of the repairs made there by the Outing Club this fall. Tonight is the girls’ turn, and we appreciate what the Club has done. We have cold toes in the morning, but a roaring fireplace fire soon fixes that.

December 11: Christmas spirit is emphasized by today’s lovely Candlelight Vesper Service, and all during this week we are enjoying the Christmas Carols played from the tower at twilight each day.

Not much remains of that which once for some meant years-Years to be spent in the most pleasurable way, Though t'was surely thought that they would drag for an eternity. Years that to others meant a time in which To start to gather the tools of life. Years, nevertheless, that drew us all together-As a lodestone draws its ore-With each arriving by a different path. 'And when our separate courses finally merged to one, We traveled, for a while, together--toward an ever-nearing goal. A goal that might be likened to a gateway Before which we would briefly pause Then cross the threshold into a world not sheltered from the blasts. And on the other side again there lies a myriad of pathways Each wending its way toward a different end. Thus shall we, in following the beckoning paths, Each choose an isolated way to travel, Some to fortune, fame, and multitudes of joy, While others might to failure, poverty and want. At any rate the gateway will behind us close, To gather in its folds another group. For our passing will not disrupt the scheme. We've created, perhaps, not more than a slight ripple, O'er which the shifting sands will quickly drift. Indeed, short years from now, who will remember names Scratched carelessly upon a wall, or faces Fading slowly in pictures curled with age? New feet will step where once ours only trod, New classes will pour forth upon the ways which we will soon traverse. Our stay upon the Hill will be reduced to memories, Locked'deep within our minds. Yet, passing years, though they may dim, Will not erase our treasured recollections; They shall remain, to be rekindled by fingers Thumbing through an aging scrapbook, To be quickened by chance or planned reunion, And to be lived anew with each return. There is ju$t time now to realize how we've prospered by our stay, And to hope, perhaps, that we in turn have given as we've gained. With that in mind, perchance, Some will vow to try, in future days, and weeks and years, To make the world a better place. Let us all do so, For that would be a fine resolve to take upon our way. 17 �1 A idF k WE GO TO SCHOOL r 3 �t- t i Honors HONOR PARTS, 1952 Valedictorian--Frank Avantaggio Salutatorian--Annette Dodge �1 SUPERLATIVES r 1 naw p I L CAROL MANLEY Most Cheerful Most Absent-minded CYNTHIA PERKINS Best Athlete DEAN BERRY Most Talkative Most Absent-minded K I’ kLjL F PATRICIA HUBBARD Most Friendly CALVIN HAWKINS Most Enthusiastic Best Athlete Best Dancer Class Clown PATRICIA WALSH Best Dancer Most Courteous Most Attractive I RICHARD AMERGIAN Best Looking DANIEL DONAHUE Most Friendly 20 JOANNE BRIDGES Class Clown Wittiest �SUPERLATIVES JOYCE WENTHWORTH Most Talkative EDWIN INNESS Wittiest Most Cheerful NANCY ROUNER Most Sincere Most Enthusiastic (H MARY HARTUNG Best Looking HARRIET QUARMBY FRANK AVANTAGGIO Most Popular Most Sincere Most All-round Most Popular Most Talented Most All-round Best Leader Most Likely to Succeed Best Leader j MICHAEL URSIN Most Talented ANNETTE DODGE Most Likely to Succeed 21 HENRY WAITT Neatest Most Courteous �■ SENIOR HONOR PARTS Commencement, 1951 .

CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN YEAR This year we have had a great deal of assistance in writing the Senior Class History because Cynthia Perkin's mother had saved allof her letters from "Perky" dating back to September. 1948, and she has been kind enough to let us quote directly from some of them.

New members besides myselfare Dick Amergian, Calvin Hawkins, Henry Wain, An­ nette Dodge, Carol Isbell, Carolyn Piper, and Bessie White.

Calvin and Frank did a fine job of helping out the Cheerleaders Friday night. Did I tell you that Pat Hubbard is a Cheerleader this year?" November 18 "Our annual Sadie Hawkins dance was a success with all the "lovely” corsages proudly worn by the boys.

"Senior pictures were taken today .... That makes us think . . . ." October 28 "Outing Club initiation tonight was fun. New members waited their turns in the study hall where they had to run around desks. As each was called, he was blindfolded, led over a ladder to the tune of a wet towel and then into the dark Outing Club room. The blindfold was removed and the victim was given a candle and instructions to walk slowly around the room. When he got to the semi-circle of ghosts--who were really Frank Avantaggio, Calvin Hawkins. John Toucey, Harriet Quarmby, Carol Isbell, and I--he had to kneeldown andrepeat an oath. For a weekafterward each initiate had to wear a Kents Hill beanie at all times." November 2 "In Ricker Hall tonight some of the kids presented a talent show.

Harriet and Henry Waitt have just been on a trip around the world -- to celebrate their 30th anniversary. Harriet is telling a group of Kents Hillers about the trip. "We started our trip from New York City. It was there that we had our biggest surprise of the entire trip. While strolling in Central Park we saw Josie Bridges clanging a bell as a staunch supporter of the WCTU. "A trip from there to Maine found Kents Hill much the same as ever. Mike Ursin was there to present a concert--he has succeededMr. Haaker. Ann Sherlock is still Dean and instructor in Arts and Crafts. "Stopping at the Limestone Air Force Base we missed Carolyn Piper. She had just taken off in the Saucer she flies for the Air Force. Cathy Bailey is there, though. She told us that she is the head bookkeeper at the Base. "Back to the University of New Hampshire where Perky is now Presi­ dent -- what a time we_had there! "Touring the grounds of Benson's Wild Animal Farm in New Hamp­ shire, we came upon Ruth Rice training white mice. "Then back to New York and a trip to Sing Sing where Warden Bob Sowden swore he wouldn't turn the switch if we tried his new electric chair for size. "On to Washington -- The President awaited us. Our first lady presi­ dent -- Peggy Reeder! Her husband, Ernie Albin, was scrubbing the floors .... I 1 �"Over in Baltimore we went to call at the Berry School of Fine Pen manship -- you guessed it -- 'our Beano'! "Down in No. Carolina we found Pat Hubbard. She's tobacco auctioneer for OLD MOLD! "In Florida Sparky knits caps for HINDS ketchup bottles. "A quick hop to New Mexico and there was Izzy -- headwaitress at stsrs vp. "In Hollywood was our Joycie -- substituting for Louella Parsons on Station H-O-T A-I-R. "At the University of Omaha we met the new chairman of Veterinary Medicine -- Dick Dillihunt. "Mary Williams is owner of Lambert's Sheep Farm in Oregon. "In Peru we found Carol Manley training race horses. "While in Honolulu we saw Gene Earnest lounging on the sands -- he's a successful movie producer. "In Bangkok, India, we found Frank had made a fortune with his famous Bunk Beds (An idea developed at Kents Hill.) He only wishes Cal would join him to sell the natives hair shirts. "Then we landed in Africa. Dr. John Toucey -- Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist) met us there. "Fido Luce introduced us to the Ubangis. He runs a U-Smash-M WeFix-M shop after introducing television to the native tribes. "Also in Africa we found Alice Jette proving that Secretaries are not sissies -- she's secretary to a lion tamer there. "We found Calvin orating for Future Farmers of America in Greece. "In Syria, while riding our camel caravan, we found Abington Annie Kempster leading the caravan. "Ed Inness is with Barnum and Bailey -- clowning around of course. He's head clown now, and we saw him in Rome. "In Switzerland we visited the Admiral of the Swiss Navy -- W. San­ derson Day. That's a dry navy, you know. "Annette Dodge is skiing in the Alps in most of her spare time. She's an authoress of some fame, now. "At the Olympics, Nancy Rouner has won out over all skating con­ tenders. "Mary Hartung is still reigning diva at the Spanish opera. "In Gay Paree, Pat Walsh teaches French classes and earns pin money in a chorus line nightly. "Janie Urtel was at Wimbledon competing for the Davis cup. "At Oxford University we found another big surprise. Remember how Dick Amergian once hated school? He's a teacher -- he's even teaching teachers! "A quick stop in Scotland found the Donahues (Danny and Bettiann) in a lovely home. Bettiann is patiently caring for their ten children. Famous last words -- 'I despise kids' ! "'Squeaky' Wheeler has bought out the 3-In-l Oil Company just to prove that her nickname is unnecessary. « the Western Hemisphere again, a stop in Greenland found Bessie White a nurse treating MacMillan's crew. "Now, wasn't that a worth-while trip? " So we leave the Waitts ;and their guests still talking about this fine lot of news of our class of 1952. E. Albin C. Isbell R. Amergian A. Kempste r E.

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. -■ ==.

Lin Hussey, Lunnie Clark, Hutch Bearce, Hank Quakers, Bert Peary, Harry Knight, Mr. Dunklee. 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! Goodby for now, your friend, &Lu. 66 i } ! �\\\ u U '. S’.. / -z l\ I /■ fl. . •I ■ h* J- ;; * i I >/! �FRIENDS OF KENTS HILL Eric G. A. Adde, Inc. 74 Exchange St., Portland, Me. Frank Allen, Genl.

Currier We, the Class of 1956, are honored to dedicate our Year­ book to Mr. Allan P. Currier whose dynamic energy has been a strong force in outlives during his nine years "On the Hill.” For years to come our thoughts will turn to the "little man" who soughtwith enthusiasm to share his knowledge of history. His stimulating eagerness, his constant search for understand­ ing, his clear and firm delivery attracted countless students to his classes. Incur memories Coach Currier will stand out for his sports­ manship. He turned our defeats into instructive lessons, and proved to us that cheerful readiness, earnest, thoughtful, and cooperative work can lead our teams on to victory. Above all, we shall remember Mr. Currier for his gaiety, his frankness, his firmness of character and his serenity, the attributes of a man of tzood will. 2 �‘ dmivtstratiQ'ti I Ww ii’l /p/fhXi ?/ 7/ ’['f'T/'' ? r ®pr» rLn\ Mli- yy W7 :/e WWi to iffa WOE •-^.J ' gi^to ■ ij il j ‘ p< —toto '1' \ px / L" p Ip V- Ji L s7 '■ BW^f OM| r IS ■' 0 - J "sfc to 1 ■.•S^&sssb. i'; ? ) pLz >! o&-asQ 3-4, './’■ E ;'TI r pi �_____ William W.

Equipment for stenciling, shell jewelry, wood burning, and linoleum block carving is also available. In addition to the "Smoscar" project for the senior superlatives, two exhibitions are planned each year. The one at Christmas is highlighted by a creche made by the students—new pieces being added to the permanent collection each year. At present, there are about seventy-five pieces. The Spring Day exhibition includes metal work and leather craft, and features competitive work in sculpture. Prizes are awarded for the three best pieces. A,.

Some of the duties of the editors and the staff are to portray, with a suitable aphorism, the personality of each senior, to write a resume of the activities of each school organization, to organize a complete photography coverage of school events, to solicit advertisements to help defray the ex­ penses of the yearbook, and last but not least, to meet and beat the dead­ lines.

DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN, organized October 1, 1957, constitutes the first academic society at Kents Hill since the old literary societies closed their books in 1941, after a century and a quarter of con­ tinuous activities. Created to increase greater interest in the students1 knowledge of Germany, DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN seeks to fulfill its purpose through social and professional bi-weekly meetings. In their attempts to enhance these meetings, the members have striven to create a Germanic motif throughout their clubrooms. Club members are, Left to Right, KNEELING: R. Clark, J. Walbridge, and A.

The Kents Hill Choir performed regularly during vesper services in the Chapel, and occasionally at Sunday morning services in the local Methodist Church. Special concerts during the year included the annual Christ­ mas Vesper Service and the exchange concert presented in April with the Hebron Academy Glee Club. A special feature of the Hebron-Kents Hill joint concert was the performance of a selection of choruses from George Gershwin's famous musical, "Of Thee I Sing." The Choir also took part in the New England Private School Music Festival which took place at Fryeburg Academy on May 3.

The varied activities of the Winter Carnival Week End, organized by the Club, created a great deal of animation on campus. The snow sculptures, in particular, were executed with a high degree of excellence and competition. The spring schedule included a dance and several outdoor events.

The Friday-night rally of Homecoming Week End saw the stage entrance of the school mascot, "Zeke," with the co-cheering captains astride him. The next day. competing with the Hebron cheerleaders, the Kents Hill squad cheered two successful games, one against Fryeburg in football, the other against Hebron in soccer. During the basketball season, our cheerleaders accompanied the team away from school and certainly gave a great deal of encouragement to our players, particularly at the last game of the season at Hebron Academy.

Kents Hill's 1957 football team was the finest our school has had for many years. Competing with some of Maine's and New Hampshire's outstanding gridiron combines, the Hilltoppers performed notably.

Sparked by Co­ Captains Nate Nickerson and Pat DeArmott, the squad earned a record of four wins out of six contests. One of the high points of the season was the victory over the rival Hebron team.

Thamarus I I I • I j ! This 1959 edition of POLARIS is dedicated with sincerity to "Mr. ’T,"’ for his infinite understanding of the students to whom he has given so ungrudgingly of his time; for his classroom attitude of wanting to help us rather than needing to discipline us. By means of this dedication we can perhaps express in some measure our gratitude for his sharing with us his vast knowledge of chemistry and biology. Never has he compelled us to leam, but rather has he created within us the desire to learn. iM Above all, we recognize his unvarying friendship to each of us; and we recall the hours he has given in the timing of our meets, his driving us to the doctor's, to church, to the airport and to the station. Mr. "T" : for what you have given us above and beyond the confines of textbook, classroom, and campus, we, the Class of 1959, salute you, and acclaim you with pride: Our Dedicatee! 8 "Consider the mollusk: hardshelled and silent." �William Warren Dunn IK Arthur A.

That diagonal blemish is a crack in the origional glass picture. February 27th, the Kents Hill School--whose corporate name is the "Maine Wesleyan Seminary”—celebrated her 135th birthday. Pictured at top is the Abel W. Pottle Historical Room in Ricker Hall. Here have been collected many mementoes which hark back through the years to classes of an era long-since passed away. That "Schoolmaster's Desk" was the one-time property of the late Dr. H. P. Torsey, for 38 years Headmaster of the school. Beside it is his easy chair, an interesting study in 19th Century ideas of relaxation. The shelves house the records of the four "Societies," which for over a century furnished the social life of the school. Scrapbooks, albums, diaries, bound editions of the "Breeze" and the "Alumnus" present vividly the life at "The Hill" as far back as the days of President Monroe. Score­ books which tell in detail of early baseball games have been preserved here; and more recently there have been added some of the tape-recorded reminiscences of the late J. O. Newton, as he recalled his seventy years association with the school. Yes, this Historical Room is a tangible link with the traditions which make Kents Hill one of the more renowned schools throughout New England. 24 « « �r ■w-- • r. *'> - 1k UNDERCLASSMEN nW iSMM w 5» �Juniors Ff FRONT ROW, (L.-R.): J.

It must be acknowledged that dormancy has intermitted with sporadicity. When the first BREEZE rolled off the press, November 11, 1882, it ended a news "blackout" that had been in effect since the CALLIOPEAN went kaputt in the spring of 1878. With but two interruptions, the BREEZE has conveyed such news as the arrival of the first phono­ graph on campus, the ground-breaking ceremonies for Blethen and Ricker Halls as well as of the Newton Gymnasium. But the one item that really rocked the campus was madein comparatively recent times; the repeal of the "NoDancing-What-so-ever' law! The fall issue for 1922 announces the first showing of movies here. Sports news and gossip have always been the most popular features; and in the old days, alumni news was incorporated. Striving to place the old paper into its former niche of prominence, David Mayo, Editor-in-Chief this year, effected a new format and demanded that all material meet certain standards. He promulgated the edict that greater discretion be exerted in the accepting of copy. To regain the glory which the BREEZE once knew is a goal still in the far distant future; however his success in energizing the historic periodical has propelled it perceptibly forward. The final achievement, of course, lies in the hands of future Editors-in-Chief. I | Choir FRONT: Jean Adams, J. Parker, Mary Parkhill, J. Snyder, M. Fisher, J. Favor, L. Albin, J. MacLauchlan, S.

Participating regularly in the SundayEyening Vesper Services, the group has presented several concerts among which was the highly-commended program in Rcadfield. A high point of the Christmas activities was the annual Candlelight service at the Torsey Memorial Church here in the village. On May 2nd the choir was one of the organizations at the Maine Independent School Music Festival in Bridgeton. The group, under the baton of student-director Norman Monsur, contributed greatly to the effectiveness of the graduation exercises. 30 ij n �Tcrtin OFFICERS OF »DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN" ■>DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN" 1958-1959 FRONT ROW, L. to R.: Morris Pelion, Wm.

A CORNER OF THE CLUBROOM. „Der Deutsche Verein, organized October 1, 1957, enables students of German to gather, either for social or profes­ sional programs, in the Germanic setting of their own club­ rooms. Among the diversified programs this season, the outstanding was Mr. Fosse's address on Beethoven. When, in April, the Society brought to "The Hill" that extremelypopular danceband, "The Javalins," the name of..Der Deutsche Verein" made headlines. This highly-successful jaunt was the club's first independent venture into the social whirl of the school. The greater part of their work is done in private meetings. The "Certificate of Merit," awarded annually at Commencement by ..Der Deutsche Verein” to the highest ranking two-year German student, was presented this year to Andrew J. Notis.

A. or !l Resident girls at Kents Hill select a sport eacn season in which they may serve as a member of a team, or as a partner in a "duo." They may even choose a "carry-over" sport--that is to say, an individual sport. The girls receive a certain number of points based upon a system given for active participation on teams, cheerleading, com­ mittees, et cetera. These awards are made at the sports banquet. In addition to athletics, the G.A.A. sponsors many other events. In the fall the club sponsored a "Rare Pair" dance at which couples dressed alike and a prize was given to the "Rarest Pair" ! The Christ­ mas Formal, "Winter in Disneyland," was G.A.A.-sponsored; and in February a group of the girls worked diligently to feature a cake sale. The club's biggest event, however, was "B.E.R.P." weekend. (Boys' Economic Recovery Program.) Delving into their pocketbooks, the girls treated the boys to the entire weekend: an original talent show Friday night followed by a movie at the campus "Rialto"; a "Flapper Dance" Saturday evening at which all dressed in styles reminiscent o f the '20’s.

Pettit, Mgr. i Lack of team depth did not dampen the spirit of the Kents Hill thinclads! Although their record was not too impressive, their performances were--especially by some members of the team. In the weight events, Ron Nason, 6'2", 250 lbs, broke the school's shotput record by better than forty-six feet! He averaged also 120 feet in the discus. His throwing the javelin over 150 feet kept him the scoring column in every meet. Others were Sam Ayres: dash man, hurdler, high and broad jumper and javelin. Coach Dunklee rates Steve Cowperthwaite as " . . . one of the smoothest-running 220 yard dashmen that I have ever seen ..." Under­ studies to Ron Nason in the weight were O'Connor and Black. Barry did well also in the discus; and toward the end of the season, in the shot put. ii 1 I I .• ’■A■./ H f/ -• ■ y/7 «'/ i i’ ? Mfe-e, Don Stevenson Breaks KH Polevault Record at 10' 9". 6 Others who scored for "The Hill" were Bill Dunham, the star miler; Mike Chace, a newcomer, who ran the mile very creditably and came along fast in the polevault; Gene Collett, running both the quarter and the half mile, did well in this, his first season. The loss of Carr Hussey, due to a broken elbow, reduced chances of closer scores, but overall, the boys showed fine spirit and cooperation. 53 �SCHEDULE Apr. Apr.

Much improvement was evidenced by last year's veterans headed by Perry Hay­ den, playing his third year for "The Hilltoppers.’’ Able assistance from Geo. Quackenbos.Ford Spalding and Curt Moore indicated early that our netsters were out to surprise an opponent or two. New­ comers were "Scratch" MacBride, Dave Mayo, Irwin LaCritz and Roland Stevens.

The team played a five-game schedule with other schools as well as a ladder tournament among themselves. Joan Snyder, Martha Peterson and Polly Worthen were the outstanding players with Virginia Hill showing the most improvement. Joyce Parker started from ’he beginning stage and progressed adequately to be in the varsity.

January 29-31 1959 THE WINNER From the lawn in front of the gym, this monstrous chipmunk watched the activities. Sculptured by Curt Moore and his crew, this entry was proclaimed the winner. A STUDY OF THE EARLY THROES OF DECLINING ZEAL. Yesterday's rains and today's polar blasts have turned that embryonic sculpture into a titanic mound of ice. THE HEADLESS CHEERLEADER FIGURE 8? With the coronation of the Regents at the Formal, the 3-day sportsfest drew toward the close. Eagerly had the students begun their sculpturing; but the spirits of even the more hardy were dampened by that chill rain which fell intermittently thruout a leaden Friday. Saturday was clear but bitter cold. Visiting St. Dorn's took home the hockey victory, and our varsity hoopsters were equally bereft; however, "Si" Dunklee's boys grabbed up the win in a 3-way ski meet with MCI and Frye­ burg. :s �WOT!

Press, Stanford, Calif. I �ediccition SILAS B. DUNKLEE n a world where true friends are so few, it is indeed an uplifting experience to discover a person who can be a friend to everybody. You, Mr. Dunklee, have that ability, and it has inspired this dedication to you of the 1960 POLARIS. We appreciate your diligence in teaching geometry, geology, and math; the long, extra hours you have spent im­ proving the ski and track teams; your great initiative in organizing Outing Club trips; your sympathetic attention to those requesting help or advice. Future generations will continue to enjoy the lasting monuments of your in­ dustry: the many outdoor facilities about the campus. May this tribute give you new encouragement to carry on these fruitful labors, and may these impress upon more minds the viture of your example. To this senior class, however, you are more than a generous teacher. Long will we remember your ready grin and light jokes, your tolerance of our foibles, and your contagious enthusiasm for sports. The memory of friends like you will one day be the strongest emotional bond between us and Kents Hill. The Class of 1960, is grateful to you, Mr. Dunklee, and wishes you enduring happiness in your work. 7 -yr �I I I Flooding the Rink IGHTEEN years have passed since Mi. Dunn projected his program for the improving of the curriculum, the renovating of the buildings, and the landscaping of the campus. That these plans materialized is evidenced by the over-all superiority of Kents Hill School. Mr. Dunn has, however, been more than the force which effected these projects; he has been a counselor and guide to nearly two decades of students. Ever willing to listen to their problems, he has always been anxious to discover the solution; so, Mr. Dunn, the Class of 1960, joins that legion of Kents Hill's sons and daughters in extending sincerest wishes for the continued growth and prestige of this school which you personify so aptly and so well.

There they execute the literary and geometric rites which result eventually in the hall of the former "Literati Society," this chamber had long been festooned in the dusty cobwebs of silence. Then Mr. Dunn assigned it to the yearbook staff for its exclusive use. The staff named this room "Polaris" because of its temperature (before the radiator was fixed) and because of its remote altitude.

DUNKLEE —Ski Director— who says—and we quote — "One of our best skiing records in 10 years, and we shall greatly miss our 4-year, 4-event veterans: Tim Faulkner and Dick Clark." 1960 was a very successful year for the boys' ski team. After compiling an 8-1 record in the local circuit, Coach Dunklee’s squad captured for Kents Hill a respectable sixth place in the New England Prep Meet; also, troublesome arch-rival Hebron received a long-awaited dousing, and Lee Mosher capped the Eastern Junior Jumping Championship. The tremendous improvement can be attributed to high team spirit, unusual depth, and the amazingly consistent placing of Dick Clark and Tim Faulkner, who were at once the inspiration and backbone of the team. The ski-trophy was awarded to co­ captains Tim Faulkner and Dick Clark; the Most Improved Skiier Award was captured by Niven Damon, who skied like a pro after only his first year of skiing. SKIING R.

Climax of the evening was the coronation at which Bill Vaughan and Mary Stowell were crowned King and Queen. They entered the grounds in a sleigh, followed by their entourage, and the ceremony was held at the majestic throne, hewn from snow. Sculpturing proceeded throughout the week­ end; and the "U.S. Army Tank," adjudged the winner, was the work of Charley Weaver, Dave McConnell, Bill Seepe, and Bob Russell. Satur­ day Dick Clark led K. H. to victory in the skiing event, winning the jumping and slalom, and placing 2d in the down-hill and cross­ country, which were won by Tim Faulkner. In hockey, John Parsons made the only score to tie it up 1-even with St. Dorn's. The Carnival Regents ruled over the formal dance, "Rhythm in Snow­ land," at the Newton Gymnasium Saturday evening.

With Gray and Crimson proudly waving. In twilight’s shades or morning dew. We’ll always love our Alma Mater, Kents Hill we sing to you. And over all our mighty nation, Proud sons and daughters praise thy name, With loyal hearts and fond affection, As some have soared to heights of fame. Now with the future still before us, What tho’ the days be bright or blue, From “Oldest Grad” to “Youngest Freshman,” Kents Hill we’re all for you. —Adapted by Hannah Kimball, '06 V KENTS HILL SCHOOL KENTS HILL, MAINE �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Fosse ■ I f i There are some men whose strength and greatness leave an indelible impression on all those who are privileged to know them. Such a man is Richard C. Fosse, to whom we take great pride in dedicat­ ing the 1961 POLARIS. He has opened for us the great and wonderful world of ideas, teaching us how to use our minds, to reason, and to form our own conceptions of both life and literature. The contributions of Mr. Fosse to the artistic and intellectual life of Kents Hill are beyond measure. The plays he has pro­ duced, with his own magnificent sets, will never be forgotten. His accomplishments with our Choir have been tremendous. His classes, taught with great skill and flare, will be treasured remembrances of our Kents Hill years. He is both a wonderful teacher and a cherished friend. Words are but weak instru­ ments, inadequate to the task of expressing the devotion and gratitude we all feel for Mr. Fosse. 4 I �I A: 5 L �•W ■ i ■x ■ o 3 I POLARIS ’61 J fa £ The Editorial Board Ronald Lewis.............. • • . -Editor-in-Chief Karen Damborg . . . . . . . .

Fortier DRAMATICS THE COMEDY OF ERRORS was presented in a shortened version on December 2 and 3, 1960. This colorful and lively production gave 17 students scope for their talents. Authentic Shakespearean costumes, varied settings, and use of the fore-stage added interest and effectiveness. The following one-act plays were performed during Spring Day observances: "White Iris,” a tragic drama of sisterly conflict, "The Monkey's Paw," which shows a happy family scene turned to horror by seemingly supernatural power, and "Poor Aubrey," a domestic comedy of character, presented with hilarious realism.

The highlights of the season were our first game against Hebron, winning it, 2-0, and the victory over the Bowdoin Freshmen, 3-2. Gil Ruhlin was once again high scorer, with Bill Dyer close behind. The coaches, Mr. Dexter and Mr. Meyers, had a solid and fast forward-line, led by Gil Ruhlin, with Tom Hauck and Steve Cowperthwaite. The backs, led by Capt. Bill Dyer and Jim Boynton, kept all opposition out of the Kents Hill cage. Goalie Frank Crooker performed remarkably well in the net.

FIELD HOCKEY The 1960 Varsity Field Hockey Team has enjoyed an exceptionally fine season. We are especially proud of our record, which was better than any other team in the area. Part of our success was due to our spirited forward line and part to our impenetrable defense, yet the final result was truly a reflection of the spirit and cooperation embodied in the team as a whole. In­ stead of having a one-man team, our team worked together as one man, which gave us our victorious season. At the Fall Sports Banquet, Janice Elvin and Sally Scott together received the Field Hockey Award for their outstanding contribution and spirit. Lesley Bartholomew was elected Captain.

Not only did we better the record of the Varsity, but we ac­ complished this feat with every girl who was out for Field Hockey playing it at least one game. We learned to play well with a variety of players and not to depend on one person to win the game for us. The team spirit was tre­ mendous, for everyone had a chance to par­ ticipate, and a chance to cheer their team onto victory. The team elected LL Parsons and Joanne Preston as Co-Captains for the year. Joyce Kins­ man was high scorer for the team, with Binky Cullum and Leslie Meyers following closely.

I L-- �J The 1961 Kents Hill Varsity Ski Team, despite the loss of many members through graduation, had an excellent season. The lack of experience was compensated by vigorous practice sessions. Due to the enlargement of the ski area, the team was able to have its own hill for practice. Following losses to Farmington and Edward Little, the team rebounded with 6 straight wins against such strong opposition as Rumford, Hebron and M.C.I. The season record was 10 wins and 2 losses. In the Prep School Meet, Kents Hill, hampered by injuries, finished 11th in a field of 15. At the Winter Sports Banquet, Noel Everts was selected Captain and received the Most Improved Skier Award.

Jim Wright, Danny Davis, Gil Ruhlin, Phil Willcox, Charlie Myers and Steve Cowperthwaite were among the veterans who have played many years at Kents Hill and did a fine job this season. Outstanding performers of the season were Tom Hauck, whose superb goal-tending earned him the Hockey and Center Paul Dionne, who was selected Captain.

The Hilltoppers won 5 meets, losing 5 and tying 1, defeating a total of 9 teams, losing to 6 and tying 1. Repeating last year's fine perform­ ances, Carr Hussey was outstanding in the high and low hurdles, losing only one hurdle heat. Carr was also a consistent scorer in the shot put, discus, high jump and javelin. He scored the highest number of points. Steve Cowperthwaite was a steady victor in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Other fine contributions were turned in by John Walker and Will Hamilton in the 440-yd. run and Noel Everts in the mile event. Although hampered by a lack of depth, the record, although mediocre, was not indicative of the high spirit of the team members. 220 Yards Later 88 Flying High �SEASON RECORD IIrIa/ 5 ‘-'Ax Kents Hill .. 57 Ed.Little . . 57 Gardiner . . 29 Kents Hill . . 44 Hebron.......... 73 Kents Hill . . 68 Bridgton..... 49 Kents Hill . . 63 Gardiner . . 48 Lewiston . . 32 Kents Hill . . 53 Wiscasset................ 65 Kents Hill . . 57 Jay 54 Livermore . 20 Kents Hill . . 54 Morse......................... 73 Kents Hill . . 32 Fryeburg . . 58 Cony .... 53 if ha. l » My <A.r.s Thy st A Could It Be Quicksand?

These familiar words symbolize the con­ stant concern and dedication of our headmaster, William Warren Dunn, to the welfare and progress of his students. His unfailing courage, diligence and patience have led us through our years at Kents Hill, and have prepared us not only to further our academic interests, but also to become responsible citizens in our democracy. Mr. Dunn's participation in many activities reveals his deep interest and sincere involvement in the school and the individual. In the classroom he has enlightened us with his knowledge and experience. On the athletic field he cheers our teams onto victory, always reminding us of the merits of good sportsmanship and consistent effort. In the chapel his daily talks inspire and encourage us to greater heights of morale and achievement. In commemoration of his dynamic energy and leadership, the Class of 1962 pays tribute to Mr. William Warren Dunn. 3 �) Be -■ r * i' * ■■■ m% Dedication of Ski Tow, 1953 February, 1962 J- .

JC. The First Issue of the Breeze, December 1961 Co-Editors, Chauncy Simmons and Carol Wells THE BREEZE The Kents Hill Breeze, which celebrates its sixty-eighth season publication this year, has adopted an entirely new format. It has now taken on the aspect of an everyday newspaper, complete with headlines, pictures, advertisements and editorials. Upon closer examination, however, the reader can easily see that the publication is more than that; it has become a collection of many of the finest memories we hope to retain of Kents Hill. Thanks to the diligent effort of co-editors Carol Wells and Chauncy Sim­ mons, the tireless advice of Mrs. Georgene Dexter and Mr. Robert Browne, and the creative interest of the entire staff, this year's Breeze is an achievement of which the whole school can be proud.

STANDING: Susan Preston, Mr. Robert Browne, Joanne deMauriac, Mrs. Arthur Dexter. 45 �G.A.A. The titles, "Gruesome Twosome,” "Under the Mistletoe," and "Shamrock Shag" can best suggest the good times sponsored by the Girls' Athletic Association in 1961-1962. Included in the organization's agenda were a fall informal dance, a cake sale (to benefit the Cheerleaders), the Christmas Formal, BERP Weekend (Boys' Economical Recovery Program), and a farewell banquet in the spring. All of these projects were carried out under the able, untiring supervision of Mrs. Sickels, Girls' Athletic Director. G.A.A. OFFICERS SEATED: Elizabeth Butler (President), Mrs. Porter Sickels (Girls' Athletic Director). STANDING: Linda Lee Parsons (Vice-President), Joyce Horvath (Sec­ retary). Missing from picture: Martha Faulkner, Treasurer. OUTING CLUB The Outing Club has been re­ organized this year, with the officers and eight committee chairmen accepting the responsi­ bilities, formerly assumed by faculty members. The Picnic Com­ mittee planned the halfday out­ ing in the fall and the sugaringoff party in the winter. The Dance Committee decorated the gym­ nasium beautifully for the Harvest Dance and Carnival Ball. The Cabin Committee made many im­ provements on the Outing Club cabin, while the Climbing Com­ mittee organized a trip to Tumble­ down Mountain. Betsy Butler (Cabin Committee), Donald Schoonover (Treasurer), Ford Spalding (President), Sandi Macpherson (Secretary), William Pettit (Picnic Committee). STANDING: LL Parsons (Picnic Com­ mittee), Dave Purrington (Dance Committee), Dick Schlosser (Cabin Committee), Mr. Gilbert Starks (Faculty Advisor), Benjie Grant (Climbing Committee), Candy Schiller (Dance Committee). Missing from picture: Martha Faulkner (Climbing Committee). 46 �MAROON AND GRAY The Maroon and Gray Key Society, an honorary group, serves as the Stu­ dent Council at Kents Hill. The So­ ciety, consisting of 10 members, meets periodically during the academic year, to discuss with the Headmaster school activities and student opinions. Maroon and Gray directs the leader­ ship of the Community Chest Drive, an activity which has received most enthusiastic support. SEATED: Linda Lee Parsons, Elizabeth Butler, Mr. William W. Dunn, Pamela Wyckoff, Susan Dyer. STANDING: Brian Burwell, Benjamin Grant, James Archer, Ford Spalding, William Pettit. (Missing from picture: Martha Faulkner) AUDIO-VISUAL Under the direction of Mr. Warren Thamarus, Faculty Advisor, the eight industrious mem­ bers of the Audio-Visual group have made a significant contribution to the school. Without their energetic services, our Saturday night movies, Friday dances and educational langu­ age films would not be possible. Special tribute is given this year to Bill Pettit, a four-year member of the organization, whose mechanical talent and reliability have made him an irre­ placeable member oi the group. KNEELING: David Faile, Richard Schlosser, Williard Hamilton, Nicholas McConnell. STANDING: Joseph Gilman, Charles At­ more, Richard Riccio, William Pettit, Mr. Warren Thamarus. 47 �The Kents Hill’Choir, under the talented leadership of musical director, Richard C. Fosse, has participated in the performance of two musical shows, one during the Fall consisting of excerpts from "The Sound of Music," "Pajama Game" and "Of Thee I Sing;" the other was a presentation of "Damn Yankees." The Choir also per­ formed at the annual Kents Hill Christmas Vesper Service. Mr. Fosse, Mrs. Kelley and Mrs. Browne contributed valuable time and interest to the production of the musicals. FIRST ROW: Mary Carter, Annette Robinson, Judith Ballou, Kath­ erine Gorham, Joyce Horvath, Diane Cole, Gwendolyn Mitchell, Margaret Ellis, Barbara Beisaw, Pamela Wyckoff. SECOND ROW: Patricia Perkins, Anne Miller, Lea Hodgman, Mary Bosworth, Mary Joyce, Rosalyn Cook, Judith Parker, Elizabeth Butler, Kay Woods, Anne Stark. THE KENTS HILL QUARTETS GLEE CLUB Under the direction of Mr. Fosse, the Kents Hill Glee Club has been activated. They have combined their talents with the Choir in the presentation of mu­ sicals. The highlight of the Glee Club's activities this year was their outstanding performance in the musical, "Damn Yankees." Charles Atmore, William Boulton, Niven Damon, Richard Priestley, Donald Schoonover, Jeffrey Frost, Nicholas McConnell, Thomas Sparks. �■ Clockwise: Maurice Moore, Mrs. Edward Kelley (Instructor), Janice Adams, Harold Kelley, Anne Stephenson, Kenneth Cadigan, Diane Cole. ARTS AND CRAFTS Responsible for originating decorative ideas for school dances and events, the Department of Arts and Crafts experienced an active year. Although the students concentrated their work on silver and copper enameling of jewelry, they too oc­ cupied themselves with sketches from life and impressionistic painting. Also available under the guidance of Mrs. Kelley were clay modeling, oil painting, and leather work. The tangible result of a finished product is but a part of the reward and satisfaction to the interested student for his experience in the Kents Hill Arts and Crafts Class. �DRAMATICS Under the guidance of Miss Vivian Russell, Director of Dramatics, the Kents Hill theatrical group presented Thornton Wilder's three-act play, OUR TOWN. Sarah Gorham and Albert Steiger projected Emily and George with ease and sincerity. The lack of scenery and props did not detract from a realization and comprehension of the play's subtleties. May brought the presentation of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, a sentimental comedy in three acts, from Jane Austen’s novel of the same name. Noteworthy acting from Sarah Gorham and John Inness proved this production to be outstanding. * M’ OUR TOWN DECEMBER 7 AND 8, 1961 50 �MARCH 9 AND 10 1962 DAMN YANKEES "You Gotta Have Hope" HUR^a/ f OP JOE Chevy Chase Fan Club Meg and Joe Hardy (Anne Stark and Charles Atmore) Joe Hardy, Lola and Mr. Applegate (Charles Atmore, Anne Miller and Tom Sparks) "You Must Be Out Of Ya Mind, Ump!

During the academic year, 11 German students were initiated into membership. The society's aims are to further the interest of the Kents Hill community in German history, culture and language. Among the club's activities were films and discussions on the physical and cultural development of Germany, a Spring Dance and the sponsorship of the Certificate of Merit, presented to the stu­ dent excelling in a two-year course of German.

Fosse (1923-1962) He spoke of many things, he seemed anxious before the moment of his death to say everything he had not said in his life, and not simply for the sake of instructing them, but as though thirsting to share with all men and all creation his joy and ecstasy, and once more in his life to open his whole heart . . . They heard him with emotion, though many wondered at his words and found them obscure . . . Afterwards all remembered those words.

Admired and respected by all, they have worked as a team to enrich the lives of Kents Hill students for the past twenty-three years. Mrs. Dunn has served as a most gracious hostess, taking a personal interest in many school projects and in the students themselves. Mr. Dunn has given of him­ self the time and energy to teach and coach in addition to his administrative duties as headmaster. Their contribution to Kents Hill will be long remembered and we all wish them happiness in the future. 5. 7 �Administration William W.

Breeze The Kents Hill Breeze, now in its seventy-fifth year of publication, has produced five issues this year and one special edition honoring Mr. Dunn upon his retirement. Each Spring, the Breeze sponsors a creative writing contest, in which a great number of students take an active part. Under the leadership of Mr. Wilson, faculty ad­ viser, and Connie Elvin, Editor, the sports and social events, campus news, and literary contributions have been well-covered and reviewed on the Breeze page throughout the entire year. 21 �Maroon and Gray 1st ROW: S.

This year, Maroon and Gray organized both the Winter Carnival and the Reid State Park Outing. The Society also organized and promoted the successful Com­ munity Chest Week. This proud and dedicated group which has served in the Kents Hill tradition for so long is another example of how student interests and activities are channelled into worthy ideas and projects. ‘ i ■i I '■ 22 �13 This year, the Girls’ Athletic Association has played a major role in raising money with which to purchase equipment for girls’ athletics and to equip their recently completed Field House. Under the guidance of Mrs. Sickels, the officers planned many events to reap more money to achieve the group’s goals. B.E.R.P. Weekend, sandwich and cake sales, jazz concerts, and several dances highlighted the social schedule sponsored by this organization. G.A.A.

The Leadership and World Society is an activity which pennits students to study world affairs. The most active project pursued this year was the mock campaign and election carried on simultaneously with the 1964 national political race be-, tween President Johnsen and Senator Goldwater. Rallies, with visiting speakers, extolled the merits of parties and candidates. The pre-election campaign was cli­ maxed by a large convention in the gymnasium during which groups fit students actively demonstrated for the candidates of their choice. On November 2nd, the memberr of L.A.W.S. held a campus-wide election. Results? “As Kents1 Hill went, the nation did net cb.cc.se to follow!'’ �nolly. 2nd ROW: J. Chute, B. Roderick, D. Dunlap, A.

Con­ German Club The German Club was formed to further the study of Germanic culture. Its mem­ bers are Kents Hill’s German students and they have pursued their study with monthly meetings, picnics, and have planned their Annual Club Dance to be held in April with a nearby college band providing the music. At Graduation, the Club awards a Certificate of Merit to that student excelling in a two-year course of German. 27 �I Dramatics >1'' “ -- . In early December, Miss Vivian Russell, assisted by Mrs. Pierre Kunzli and Mr. Leonard Walcott, directed Kents Hill’s young talents in the production of two oneact plays: Antic Spring and The Dear Departed. As March approached, cast and crews once more joined together in the presenta­ tion of Oliver Goldsmith’s comedy, She Stoops to Conquer. This play revealed no signs of aging on the completion of its two centuries of popularity. We will long re­ member Chick BeVier’s attempts to escape love, and Pam Sweet’s attempts to cap­ ture it; Barry Roderick’s antics as the somewhat distraught father; Ron Hallee’s ap­ pearance in a powered wig; and in the long hours and great patience of our di­ rectors. 28 �I ‘>A- i ■■ < A ■ ■ . ji . v 7^l.

Varsity Football With only a few lettermen returning, the prospects for another fruitful season for the Varsity Football Team appeared dim. The team was hampered early in the fall by injuries. Key mistakes caused by inexperience proved costly throughout the season. Mr. DeArmott and his assistants, Mr. Buker and Mr. Drummond, should be com­ mended for their attempts to put together their team last fall. Since this was Mr. DeArmott’s final year of coaching, special tributes are rendered to this man for his many years of fine service and numerous successful gridiron teams. Things were not as gloomy as our 1-6 record appears. The team did play some ex­ cellent football in several losing attempts; most notable of which was our defeat by Hebron in the last few seconds of the contest. Standouts on the squad were Peter Dore, Captain Dick Sproul, and Cole Kelly, the recipient of the plaque. 36 �WON Williams 25-13 LOST New Hampton Brunswick Tilton Brewster Hebron Berwick 36-6 20-0 26-6 18-12 8-6 26-6 i.

Kents Hill School Soccer Team scored ten wins, three losses, and one tie last fall under the guidance of Mr. Dexter. Leading scorer was Peter Weeks who kicked 14 goals and set a school career record of 27 goals for future players to top. “Winkie” Andresen and Chick BeVier both accounted for five apiece. Outstanding on defense were halfbacks Giff Ewing, Jon Greene, and Ed Cutter; fullbacks Pete Zimmerman and George Pratt; and goalie Dick Strong. Strong was a bulwark on defense bome out by the fact that he registered nine shutouts. Kents Hill beat the Colby Frosh, Bowdoin Frosh and battled to a 0-0 tie with re­ spected Hebron in seasonal highlights. The Hilltoppers outscored combined opposi­ tion 33-10 and finished second in the state title race for the second straight year. Hinckley won the crown. 38 �WON Bridgton Coburn St. Doms Colby Frosh M.

The first game with M.C.I. proved to be a practicing game for victories to come. Gould and Dixfield fell by the wayside after a tie with M.C.I. Both games with Cony, possibly our arch-rival, ended in victory for a proud Kents Hill team. Arlene Killam, our outstanding goalie, held a record of sixty saves. Top scorers were Connie Elvin, Sue Jor­ dan, and Bridgit Mahoney. Of course, the Varsity could not have attained a record of seven wins, two losses and two ties without the able guidance and expert direction of Mrs. Sickels, our coach.

With the six returning boys and the additional new faces, Bim Deitrich, Jim Kerschner, and Chuck Irish, the team worked from the opening whistle to compile an exceptional 13-1 record. Led by the scoring of Co-captain Doug Filson, Kerschner, and Co-captain Doug Biggs; the defensive prowess of Dick Sproul, and Deitrich; the squad rolled through the season with a 90.5 scoring average. High spots during the campaign were: a stun­ ning 115-95 victory over a fine M.C.I. Preppers team (this squad later handed K.H. its only defeat, at M.C.I.); Filson’s (31.1) and Kerschner’s (25.1) combined average of 56.2 points per game; a 90.5 scoring average (3 times over 100, 5 in the 90’s); two wins over arch-rival Hebron Academy; and a general atmosphere and attitude of being a “Team.” I I; ■ I I I i 46 �,»b >42 k 40 feA 1 * sn L Mr. Gowen, R.

The game was labeled as one of the fastest and roughest ever seen in the Alfond Arena. Ron Hallee led the team in scoring with 21 goals and 7 assists. Co-captain Jerry Murphy was second with 7 goals and 15 assists. Peter Weeks, Ed Cutter, and Jon Greene scored 11, 11, and 9 goals respectively. The defense was spearheaded by goalie and Co­ captain Dick Strong and hard-hitting defenseman Pete Dore. Strong registered 5 shut-outs and averaged 20 saves a game. The other members of the team all showed desire and contributed to the team’s most successful season. Coach Newton Stowell gave the boys a tremendous amount of time and encouragement throughout the winter. In all, the players and their coach worked hard and contributed to a wonderful winter of sports on the Hill. i t $ 48 �WON Waterville Dixfield Edward Little Hebron North Yarmouth Lewiston Brunswick Bowdoin Frosh r 3-0, 2-1 5-1, 3-0 5-0, 6-2 1-0 11-3, 14-3 1-0, 7-3 5-2 4-2 LOST Colby Frosh 5-2 n (/ R.

Basketball team of 1964-65 was quite a success­ ful one; boasting a record of six wins and four losses. The climax of the season was a thriller with Hebron Acad­ emy. The contest went down to the wire with Kents Hill leading by a single point. At the final gun, Jim Smart sunk a long shot to give K.H. a three-point victory. The five starters were Win Taggart, John Harper, Dave Dillon, Buzz Schultz, and Jim Smart. Mr. Wilson did a great job coaching a group of inexperi­ enced, but spirited, boys. Prospects look excellent for the next winter and J.V. Basketball. 50 �Pleasure Skiing A. Nelson, L. Richards, Mr. Kunzli, T. Saunders, J. Schreiber, W. Northrop, K. Wood, R. Bashaw, T. Macy, and D.

Varsity Ski Team The lack of snow at Kents Hill this winter hindered the development of what might have been a contend­ ing ski team. The boys finished seventh in the State Interscholastic Meet, losing their Class A status for next year. One moral victory was the win over Hebron in cross-country, the only event that could be sched­ uled with that school. Although the weather did not cooperate, and many meets had to be cancelled, the spirit of the boys was excellent throughout the year. The early part of the season consisted of vigorous training sessions to get into shape and they worked hard at all times to im­ prove. Individual standout was John Andresen our Winter Carnival Skimeister and consistently our best in four events. Tom Dunham also showed promise for future years. Teammates elected “Winkie” Andre­ sen and Frank Naiman co-captains for the team. 1 I . A $ V1 P i ' ■ • d )■ ? '■ �■ >' >I r#' * I I'r.'- A 11 — I ' 1¥ '■ u Z D. Wagner, R. Brown, C. Goldblatt, T.

Their willingness to practice during Christmas vacation was indicative of their spirit. Melanie Lanctot and Debbie Thompson proved to be a strong part of our defense. Debbie excelled in blocking shots at the goal and Melanie was “tops” on rebounds. Jane Marcy was a substitute guard. Linda Elvin, Luella Carter, Margie Fickett, Sue Jordan and Arlene Killam were responsible for our scor­ ing and Arlene was high scorer with 125 points.

Varsity Baseball I i The Varsity Baseball Team gave Kents Hill its first undefeated season in this sport. Posting a perfect record of 14-0, the K.H. nine outclassed the opposition with fine hitting and excellent fielding. Highlights in the season were two no-hit, no-run games. The first was pitched by Cole Kelly, against Gardiner and the second by Charlie Walker against North Yar­ mouth Academy. Cole performed an amazing feat in striking out 19 out of a possible 21 batters. Mr. Meyers and Mr. Sickels did a commendable job this season teaching their able players the fine points and the strategy of baseball. Gerry Murphy was elected captain of the team and he and Charlie Walker were re­ cipients of the plaque award. �WON Winthrop Waterville North Yarmouth Hinckley Hebron M.C.I.

However, poor tennis matches were often topped off by a good meal at Good­ win’s Restaurant which finished up an otherwise gloomy day with a full tummie and a smile. A bright spot was “Winkie” Andresen’s constant improvement as the season pro­ gressed. But this too was overshadowed; because, as Winkie got better, Sandy Lawton got worse! This was Mr. Starks’ first spring as varsity mentor — this was difficult for all concerned as the boys did not know what to expect from Mr. Starks and vice versa. Next season should show a marked improvement because: first, both parties will know what to expect of the other; and, secondly, the squad loses only two members. Randy Gardiner and Sandy Lawton were elected co-captains. H 68 �i * ’ '/ i 1 <1 I i » ■/ .t lu’i d si 5 i ■4j i ?* 1 :: .1 • __ ___ �I I i f C. Butler, V. Chave, J. Stinchfield, P. C<?le, J.

This was greatly due to the lack of experience. The boys, under the capable coaching of Mr. Hansen, learned much about the game and improved as the season went on.

In its league the Lacrosse team came out first to become the Maine State Schoolboy Lacrosse Champions. This is a remarkable feat since the other schools in our league have had lacrosse several more years than Kents Hill. Standouts and highscorers for the team were Bill Moody and Jim Weeks who were both elected co-captains by their teammates and also they received the plaque award. Credit should be given to Mr. Dorsey for his efforts in making Lacrosse a successful sport here on the Hill. F i ■■ □ lb-1 - I SO V •kt I F ft .

The lack of depth hampered the squad greatly throughout the season. At M.C.I., Bill Paton became the State Champion in the 440.

Satur­ day morning the campus buzzed with parents, alumni, and friends. Following the morning’s athletic events, a chicken bar-b-cue was served on the Dunn’s picnic grounds by Mr. Tripp and his crew. After lunch, our guests and students gathered to watch the Varsity Football team play Brunswick High School — our big Homecoming rival. The K. H. boys played well; but, much to everyone’s chagrin, we lost. A reception was held in the gym immediately following the game; students could introduce their parents to their teachers and greet old friends who had returned for the day. In the evening, Al Corey’s Band serenaded the couples at the Homecoming Weekend Dance which had a Halloween theme. By Sunday night, all students, teachers and parents were ready for a rest and campus activities returned to nor­ mal. �o - ■-■'• * t. ■ ■ '^s --:'z ■■•:': 1 • • 83 �Winter Carnival I \ 1 Ij i___ QUEEN KANDY KIDNEY AND KING PETER WEEKS surrounded by their COURT. I The twenty-third annual Winter Carnival was one of the most successful week­ ends in the history of Kents Hill School. To start off the gala weekend, the Cheer­ leaders held a bond fire rally which was followed by a movie in Ricker Hall. Then to the delight of the students, the rising bell rang at 9 o’clock Friday morning, which started them off on a busy day. All over campus, students were busy making snow sculptures, preparing for athletic events, and decorating for the Dance. Friday evening, after the crowning of Peter Weeks and Kandy Kidney as King and Queen of the Carnival, a skating party was held at the hockey rink. The snow sculptures were judged at noon on Saturday and Wesleyan Hall’s “Rip Van Winkle” won the first prize, In the evening came the climax of the weekend, the Winter Carnival Dance — its theme was “Mardi Gras”. The deco­ rations were beautiful, excitement filled the air, and we all had a wonderful time. And so, with the end of the Dance, another Winter Carnival came to an end also. 1 84 �njv ^jG^\ir:.._. fe k r I • % n| & I ' •*•=«•»« b- -wft C 4 ‘ ».fc �Cum Laude Banquet 1st ROW: Carole Hasenfus, Sarah Rendleman, Penny Johnson, and Connie Elvin. 2nd ROW: Mr. Dunn, Dr. Webber, Mr. Meyers, Mr. Starks and Miss Swanson.

I Ii • i1 X’ Reid State Park — 1965 The faculty soon found their place was near the center of the food preparation area. It was warmer there anyway. The students scampered off to find little wind-breaks or they joined in a rousing game of kick-ball or keep-away. Lunch was served and then it was off to the beach or on an annual tour led by Mr. Starks. Soon it was four o’clock and time to regroup the masses. Nearly everyone made it back on time. Some didn’t and came back by VW; while the rest of us wound slowly back to K.H. in those school buses. On a sunny Sunday in May, the whole school travelled to the oceanside Reid State Park for a day of swimming, sun-bathing, and a fine meal prepared by members of the Outing Club. Excitement rose as the long line of yellow school buses moved closer and closer to the rock-bound coast of Maine. Upon arriving, there were those who immediately patron­ ized the snack bar to keep the spark of life burn­ ing; while others quickly changed into their bathing­ suits and courageously plunged into the wind­ whipped surf. 88 �__ *• '* A** * i •t ' ii r i 89 i �Ki J I Community Chest Week Ail I i I In mid-winter of each year, it is customary' for the students of Kents Hill School to engage in a week of fund-raising for the Community Chest. The money reaped during the drive is placed into a Fund from which gifts are given to the various charitable organizations as designated by the Maroon and Gray Society and the Headmaster. Slave-days, cake auctions, sandwich sales, athletic events and dances are held to raise money for this worthy cause. This winter, under the able leadership of Peter Weeks and Kandy Kidney, the students broke all previous records for their generosity. < * .. - �I Underclassmen �?! fl I 1st ROW: J. Fogg, S.
