SCHOOL NEWS.
ANDOVER.
Monday evening, March 19, the Phil-
lips Andover Academy Alumni Associa-
tion held its seventh biennial dinner at
the Vendome, Boston. The President of
the Association, Samuel Carter Darling,
presided, and the speakers were Cecil
F. P. Bancroft, Principal of the Acad-
emy, Arthur Twining Hadley, President
of Yale, Prof. LeBaron Russell Briggs,
Dean of Harvard College, Bird Sim
Coler, Controller of New York City,
James Henry Flint, Judge of Probate
for Norfolk County, Rev. Francis T.
Hazlewood, District Secretary of the
American Baptist Home Missionary
Society, and Rev. E. Winchester Donald,
Rector of Trinity Church, Boston.
Dr. Bancroft, who was given a warm
welcome by the entire assemblage, spoke
of the dormitory, now nearly completed,
and the prospective gymnasium. He
said that $55,000,000 was given in dona-
tions to educational institutions last year.
Most of it went to colleges and institu-
tions of higher learning, but he thought
the fitting schools should be remembered.
He thought it was more important that
a boy attend a good school than a good
college.
President Hadley paid a high tribute
to the force and influence of Andover
men at Yale, saying that the standing
of Andover graduates has never been
higher than to-day. He spoke of the
desirability of codperation between the
school and college in maintaining a high
standard, and suggested a sort of edu-
cational trust of all colleges and schools,
which should create a public sentiment
that. would purify politics and make all
the institutions of the country better.
Prof. Briggs said that it is not the
text-books that a man may write that
make his name a power, but the force
of his character and example.
Mr. Coler, ’88, was introduced as “the
next mayor of New York.” He said:
The power of the school in politics, like
Niagara, is so grand and beautiful that
we are just beginning to realize that we
may use it in a practical way. I believe
that every school in the country, from
the little red school house on the hill to
the great universities, should teach the
hoys and young men of the land to take
an active and healthful interest in pub-
lic affairs, or in politics and government,
to speak plainly. Let the schools create
good citizens, who will take enough inter-
est in politics to carry elections, and there
will be no more corrupt government.
When young men are taught to seek
public life as a road to honor and not to
wealth, when they do their duty in such
a life, no matter how small the station,
when they shall be looked upon with the
same respect and confidence as the
minister, scientist or teacher, then we
may truly say that the American ideal
of government has been reached.”
The Andover Glee Club, Harold P.
Dyer, leader, sang several selections dur- -
ing the evening.
Friday evening, March 16; the annual
concert by the three musical clubs was
given before a good sized audience in
the town hall. It was an excellent en-
iertainment, reflecting much credit upon
the leaders, Harold P. Dyer, of the Glee,
Frank Squier, Jr., of the Mandolin, and
Seth H. Mosely, Jr., of the Banjo Clubs.
Every selection was encored. . |
