3. That a committee be appointed to examine into the title of the site now occupied by the district ; whereupon the moderator appointed, Benedict Bagley, Luther C. Peck and Walter Whitcomb, such committee. The meeting adjourned to meet again in two weeks.
At the adjourned meeting, Benedict Bagley, reported that the title of the lot on Mill Street was not sound and good, that the deed is void for want of a con- sideration. The report was carried. They seconded the report of former com- mittee, and appointed two discreet persons to act with the trustees, to inquire into the expediency of purchasing a new location, and building a more commodious school building, to estimate cost and dimensions and lay their report before the people at their next meeting. Joseph Ditto and D. D. Morse were appointed as additional committee. Adjourned for one week.
At the adjourned meeting, J. Ditto reported for the committee, and the re- port was accepted, and the trustees authorized to sell the old lot and building, re- taining its use till the new building was ready for use. The vote was carried, yeas, 43, nays, 29. The trustees were instructed to purchase a lot containing an acre of ground on the north east corner of East and Fair Streets, opposite the Cobble Stone house, then occupied by C. E. Crary at the price of $200.
Resolved, That the trustees be requested to procure a certificate of the town superintendent for the sum of $13.50. Carried.
Adjourned to Tuesday at 6 P. M.
On January 24, 1845, the adjourned meeting was held, and a certificate from the town superintendent was read, of which the following is a copy.
"I hereby certify that I believe the sum of twelve hundred dollars is neces- sary to build a suitable school house for School District No. 2, in Nunda.
January 14, 1845.
A. BURGESS, Town Superintendent C. S. for Nunda."
A vote was then taken to raise by tax $1,200 to build a school house on the place submitted by the committee. The vote was taken by calling each voter pres- ent by name and the vote given resulted as follows: Yeas, 47; Nays, 45.
Then the additional sum of $150 was voted for fence, furnishing out build- ings, etc. Yeas, 48; Nays, 28.
Annual meeting September 29, 1845. Dr. C. Clifford Chafee, moderator, and William D. Hammond. George B. Herrick, elected trustees ; John H. Dve, col- lector ; Walter Whitcomb, librarian. A tax was voted to level the grounds a.id lay floor in the porch.
We conclude that this brings the scholars of No. 2, into a commodious and fine looking building for those days, and if any one wishes to see the old building, from which they must have been glad to depart, they may procure the key of Les- ter Wilcox, merchant, on State Street. The rear part of the building has had no repairs upon it since it was moved there from Mill Street, and the wonder will be how did they accommodate 90 pupils there, before canal days, and how, the greatly increased number from 1836 to 1846.
From 1839, the Nunda Academy, Church Street, thinned them out somewhat, and from 1843 the Nunda Literary Institute took all the surplus, until 1846, when the Union and Nunda Academy students divided nearly equally, the pupils of the village with the institute, and both buildings had for the next 13 years, all they could accommodate.

CHAPTER VII.
THE UNION SCHOOL, EAST STREET, 1846.
T HE Nunda Academy, on Church Street, build by the Presbyterians in 1838, afterwards known as the Presbyterian Session House, that had furnished advantages for the pioneer youth of Nunda for about seven years, was supplanted by the Baptist School, the Nunda Literary Institute, that came into be- ing in 1843, and both academies were well patronized for about two years, when the institute, being the larger building, with the large hired cabinet of Prof. Amasa A. Buck, A. M., drew the majority of the pupils from abroad to the Mill Street institution, and the short lived Nunda Academy was merged in a Union with the large district school No. 2, and became the Union School with, for a short time, an Academy or High School department. The principal was college bred and about 250 pupils gathered there during the school year.
The Students Olio, published in March, 1846, gives us this information, in a "Prospectus addressed to the Trustees of this unique District School." We quote from the youthful editors, a statement, that it would have been hard to believe, but for the preservation of this 14 page periodical.
"Messrs. Prescott, Herrick and Gardner, Trustees of Nunda Union school : Permit us to inscribe to you our little periodical as a tribute of respect, due your zealous and disinterested efforts to establish a UNION SCHOOL, of high order in our pleasant village.
"During the last term, about 230 scholars have enjoyed its privileges. The majority of these, have spent most of their time upon the common English branches.
"About So have practiced composition ; 40 declamation ; about 50 attended to drawing ; 40 have pursued the Latin ; 22 Algebra : 17 Intellectual Philosophy : 15 Geology; 12 Geometry; 11 French : 8 Astronomy; 4 Surveying. General excr- cises have been had on Mitchell's Outline maps, Parker's Historical charts, and in Wright's Analytical Orthography.
"You will find perchance in our "Olio" many crude thoughts. Should it be so we feel assured, that from you and our friends generally, we shall meet with the leniency which our youth and inexperience may claim ; and there will not be dealt out, to those whose unfledged thoughts are yet untaught to soar, the full measure of criticism which might fall with propricty upon the productions of more mature minds. If others who are predetermined to judge '110 good thing can come out of Nazareth,' will read our pages only to discover faults or hold up to ridicule our cherished sentiments, we must leave them to the promptings of their own taste, with a regret however, that their minds are not of a nobler make.
"In behalf of the committee of publication."
It would not be very difficult to read between the lines of an intense conflict existing between the "Institute" and "the Union School." Though the Union School had 230 scholars all it could comfortably accommodate, the Institute had 328.
The Union School however, had the largest primary department.
After Principal Winslow, from the Mt. Morris school succeeded Principal Buck, the existing friction was diminshed, for Prof. Winslow was from "Union
320
College," from which three successive Presbyterian pastors had been graduated, and the Union School under Abraham Burgess returned to the ordinary status of a well taught district school for 'English branches" only.
That the Union School of 1845-1846, had a fair share of the "heirs of future greatness," we will copy the order of exercises at the exhibition March 10, 1846.

A GREAT ACADEMY-ITS TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
The Nunda Literary Institute became an accuality because the old Baptist Church was no longer needed for church purposes.
The Nunda Academy was too small to accommodate all who would attend if there were better facilities for instruction. The frequent change of teachers in the academy had taught a lesson, and the Baptists determined to hire a principal who had taught successfully, and who expected to make teaching his life work. The Middlebury Academy at Wyoming was the leading school of this class at the time. One of the leading citizens of the town was the Hon. L. C. Peck, educated at this classical institution. Besides, it was known that Prof. Buck, had an exten- sive cabinet which would come with him and place the new school on or above the level of its competitor. The numerical strength of the Baptist Church at the time was such that there would be a good attendance, even if the Presbyterian School continued its existence. It is from present standards of toleration, to be regretted that both schools were run too much as Sectarian Institutions. There is no list of the first academy's officials, but certainly those of the Baptist School were de- cidedly too much along denominational lines. To Principal Winslow, who intro- duced into the board men, as trustees, for their ability, and not for their creed, is due much of the greater prosperity which attended the institution during its last years. Men like Gersham Waldo ( Episcopalian ) : L. B. Warner, and Utley Spencer, Presbyterians ; I. J. Meecham. ( Methodist ), and finally E. W. Packard, (Universalist) was a movement in the right direction. These men were inter- ested in education per se, and were not thinking of how a large school would in- crease the attendance and membership of any particular church. From the first, the stockholders in the "building" made a choice outside their numbers.
A list of the trustees of the institution may prove interesting to their poster- ity, and so the writer will give them.
Those advertised on the circular at first sent out. evidently did not all serve. They were, however, excellent figure heads and the leading men of the village, as well as excellent scholars.
