ANDOVER: SYMBOL OF NEW ENGLAND


banks, and even in their historical societies, which work without jealousy with one another. Thus the recent trend has been to- wards bringing the Andovers back where they were before the formal separation took place.


As a symbol of this close relationship no better example could be taken than the late Abbot Stevens. A son of Samuel and a nephew of "Uncle Nat," he was born and lived in North An- dover, where he was naturally prominent in local affairs, includ- ing the old North Parish Church, the enterprising Historical Society, the public schools, and town management. He was ac- tive for forty-three years in the development and direction of the family mills, which included the Marland Mills located in An- dover. But he was also associated in many other ways with what is now called Andover. He was a trustee and generous benefactor of Phillips Academy, president for twenty years of the Andover National Bank, and chairman of the board of that institution when it was merged with other banks in the vicinity as the Mer- rimack Valley National Bank. In addition, he was also a director for many years of the Andover Savings Bank, as well as of the Tyer Rubber Company and the Merrimack Mutual Fire In- surance Company, all in the town of Andover. At his funeral service in 1958 hundreds of Andover citizens joined with those from North Andover to mourn him as their own.


In the volume published by the Andover Press in 1946 to commemorate the three-hundredth anniversary, an anonymous writer comments on what the town has been and can be. Quite frankly, he says, "Andover, although most of us hate to admit it, is famous because a fellow named Sam Phillips decided to build a school here in 1778." He mentions rather plaintively a "lack of progressiveness" in the town, its "economic ups-and-downs," its gradual relaxation of the Puritan restrictions on sports and mor- als. Regarding the population, he remarks, "We're part Yankee, part Scotch, part Irish, some English, some French," and adds, "In general, differences in religion are not very marked, with the average Andoverite being quite tolerant of the other per-

son's religion." He points out, quite properly, that no one per- son, or group of persons, controls Andover. "The town is con- trolled," he asserts, "by an attitude, by a peculiar state-of-mind that seems to be compounded by a lot of ingredients, some Yankee, some Irish, some Scotch, some farmers, some educators, some bank presidents, some old-timers, some new-comers." He adds:


That way of thinking has a good deal of lethargy to it, a lack of vision, of vigor, of militant stick-to-it-iveness. It has a conservatism to it, some retiring fear, much inhibition. It was a courage in the front-room, with a group of friends and a rye-and-soda; it's fearless on the street corner; it's absent at town meeting. In some it wants change and improvement, without the necessary drive to make that improvement; in others it is satisfied with everything as it is.


The author of this intelligently provocative article had his own dreams for the future of Andover, based on the reconstruc- tion of the center, of Elm Square and Main Street, with its bleakly Victorian town hall. This will come, after deliberation and debate, in due season. Plenty of improvement is desirable in the physical aspect of the town, but brick and stone cost money. In conclusion, the commentator says:


We have something good. It won't stay good if we just decide to sit back. New England can be just as ambitious, just as progressive, just as far-sighted as any other section of the community can be. New England has a past, one that it can glory in. Its future is up to itself, up to everybody in every city and every small town. It means the sacrificing of smugness; it means the changing of a state of mind, it means a will to do everything in our power to keep our towns up-to- the-minute, to make them progress, to be able to hold them up as an example to the rest of the community of towns that have a glorious past, a brilliant present, a wonderfully hopeful future.


Leaving aside its industrial development, past or prospective, I must confess that Andover is for me a microcosm, a composite of impressions and sensations, all of them truly American. It is

a stroll along Indian Ridge, a brisk climb (on foot) up Prospect Hill, a canoe trip along the Shawsheen, with the redwing black- birds flying across the marshes. It is a troop of little children running out of the parochial school, a garden party at Abbot Academy, or a torchlight victory parade on the Phillips campus. It is visits to the Historical Society, to the tavern where George Washington ate breakfast, to the house where Samuel F. Smith wrote "America" and in which Henry L. Stimson lived as a stu- dent. It is cashing a small check at the bank, chatting with the town treasurer in his office, calling at the Memorial Hall Li- brary, and even studying tombstones in the Old South Burying Ground. It is driving slowly around Lake Cochichawicke, to see where the town had its beginnings and gaze at the statue of Phillips Brooks on the common. And it is still meeting friends on the street or in the shops for a brief greeting and some harm- less gossip.


Today, after rather more than three centuries, the town faces some grave decisions, which will be made not only by the de- scendants of the original founders but also by those who have created the extensive new developments on the outskirts. They all have a stake in Andover, and will determine what it will be like in the year 2046 A.D., when, God willing, it will observe its four hundredth anniversary. The saga of Andover, and of Amer- ica, is not finished. A future historian will have amazing events to relate. It is to be hoped that his tale will be as creditable as that which has just been recorded.
