schoot could compete with them. It was deemed expedient to change this aca- demy into a free school, with an "Academic Department." It did a good work. had several teachers of marked ability and served the generation for a few years, and helped some onward up the heights of knowledge.
The short list of graduates does not tell all the story. Some of these are 119 longer living, but we trust they are still the possessors of the knowledge they found such joy in attaining and in possessing. Some went to the Geneseo Nor- mal for special training for teaching ; several became expert physicians ; one found his way to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and is now captain, commanding one of the largest and best of Uncle Sam's warships ; others went on to college, their hunger for knowledge and ability to use it urging them on.
But many who did not take the prescribed course have not been left behind.
James C. Foley, the student teacher, has since won two degrees, A. B., and M. D., and finds the metropolis of America a good field for his faculties. Adel- bert Moot added a G. N. S. course, then a law course at Albany and stands at the head of one of the greatest law firms in Buffalo. Young Charles Fairman, who served as a frequent example of his father's discipline, both pedagogic and par -. ental and so got a double portion, has been no laggard, but has met his successes at Rochester University. A. B., '74; A. M., '78; M. D., St. Louis Medical Col- lege, and not content to diagnose diseases, finds time to investigate the Fungi cf New York State,-and so adds Author to the other evidences of a busy and use- ful life. He is also a member of the Rochester Academy of Science.
Another scholar of the Fairman school, Edward F. Knibloe, after a year or two at Cornell rose from telegrapher to train dispatcher, and from that to division superintendent, but found time to study law, and now serves the Erie railway as legal arbirtrator when they want something done well. Charles Vrooman, a mini- ster's son, with change of locality, too frequent for rapid advancement in studies. fitted everywhere for college and finished the requirements at Nunda, and so we read in the Rochester University catalogue "Charles Miner Vrooman, A. B., 1873. Prepared at Nunda, N. Y., stock raiser, Kern, California." All natural enough. the roaming habits of clergymen (with their families) make their sons typical candidates for Rough Riders and superb ranchmen. But we must not tell too many good things all at once, for there was, and is a successor of the Brick Acad- emy, and its special heroes are not the least among the princes of Nunda, who have scored successes all along their race track. We might speak of Dona Ed- monds, the ever diligent student, who is still a student and keeps up with her learned husband and son, who have all the degrees attainable but no more of knowledge than herself. Of Carrie Fitch who ranks high as a reformer and lec- turer ; or of Eliza Crane, whose college course at Vassar was cut short to attend to the needs and distresses of kindred, and she could give the martyrs and mis- sionaries, points on self sacrifice. Young boyish Merrick Whitcomb of those acad- emy days, everybody knew he could be anything he chose to be if he would try. but would he? He could learn so readily, would he test his ability? It has taken a whole lot of time to tell, but while Teddy Roosevelt was proving his "strenuos. ity," our Nunda boy-only a boy-was in the same class in Harvard, getting hi- lessons easily, but still doing boy's work along with a thousand mostly mature men. Would he ever do his best and equal the expectations of those who hield his possibilities at high value. The position he now holds, as Dean of the College of
354
Liberal Arts of the University of Cincinnati, is a sufficient answer, whether it was Nunda Academy, or Harvard. or Leipsic, or John Hopkins University, or inherent strength that brought it about, we will not answer. We are glad, however, Nunda had its first innings and paved the way for potential latent possibilities.

Pursuant to official notice. the taxpayers of school districts numbers 1, 2, 9.

358
a graded school. The trustees of Nunda Academy gave their terms, already voted upon, upon the acceptance of certain conditions they would give a perpetual lease of this property, including lands, building, library and apparatus, as long as the said conditions were complied with. The one condition of greatest moment was the Board of Education of the Union Free School shall established and main- tain an Academic Department uninterruptedly from year to year, so as to entitle it to the benefit of the public moneys distributed by the Regents of the University of the State of New York.
The vote taken after much discussion resulted as follows :

No. 9. Page District, George S. Chidsey.
No. IT. West of canal. J. F. Olney.
No. 15. South of Mill Street, Daniel Price.

For one year, Cyrus Rose, James McNair, Daniel Passage; for two years. John F. Olney, James Lemen, Samuel Swain ; three years, L. B. Warner, J. V. D. Coon, E. O. Dickinson.
