Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Son´s Tribute Then principal of Cortland Academy from 1830 to 1852. He was Trustee of Hamilton College from 1836 to 1880; President of the Board of Trustees of Hamilton College from 1874 to 1880, and received from Hamilton the degree of LL.D. He was the founder and the first President of the New York State Teacher´s Association - 1847-1848. In 1852 he became principal, at that time, of the first and only New York State Normal School at Albany. In 1856-1880 he was Secretary of the Board of Regents. He was the originator of the Regents questions, and of the summer convocations of the Regents. He died in Brooklyn, N. Y., June 30, 1880, and was buried in Homer, July 3, 1880. Eighty years of life, sixty years of public service as an educator, an uninterrupted life work. It was a grave question whether he should make the change from his established work in the Academy to the new and somewhat experimental Normal School, which had not entirely overcome the prejudice of the public. At Homer he left a school of very high character, of about five hundred pupils. Five thousand pupils had passed under his care. The Academy a financial success, no debt, and some thousands of dollars in the treasury - and he was supported by a community of rugged, sturdy, honest people, who loved the Academy and were united in giving it their undivided support.
