ANNUAL TOWN MEETING.
SAUGUS, March 14, 1902.
The Committee chosen at the Annual Town Meeting on March roth, 1902, " to select a name for the new School Building at Cliftondale, (Central street) and report the same at the Adjourned Town Meeting," has considered the matter, and unanimously recommends the name of the "Felton School," in memory of Cornelius Conway Felton, who was for several years a resident of the Town of Saugus, and afterwards President of Harvard College.
The Committee considers the selection as quite appropriate in view of the fact that Mr. Felton in his early days, while residing in the village where the Building in question is located, attended the public schools of the Town, and subsequently attained great distinction as a classical scholar.
In this connection the Committee deems it proper to present a brief biographical sketch of Mr. Felton, as follows : Born in West Newbury, Mass. Nov. 6, 1807, and came to Saugus in 1815, when eight years of age. Graduated at Harvard in 1827 ; latin tutor at Harvard in 1829 ; Greek tutor in 1830 ; professor of Greek in 1832, Eliot professor of Greek Literature in 1834 ; President of Harvard College from July 1860 to the time of his death, Feb. 26, 1862. He was also the author of many classical works; a member of the Massachusetts Board of Education ; Regent of the Smithsonian Institution ; and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Respectfully submitted,
