NJ Dear George:
am very much obliged 10 you for send
ing me copy OF the Hebron Semester.
The very name recalls 10 me my earliest
student days, when Hebron Academy
seemed to me q shrine OF learning and
scholarship. | recall the drive on Sunday
afternoon or Monday morning, from Buck
field; how long the weeks seemed, how
homesick | was, how melancholy the
sound Of the tree-toads in the spring eve
Mugs, and how glad was when Saturday
came, or Friday night, and | set my face
homewsrd; often walking, so happy, that
the distance seemed nothing.
There must De many changes. In my
day, board was 81 90 or SLIP q week
There were students at Des. Barrows's, At
Mr.. Myrick's. and at the Trustee House.
Many came from their homes,-among
them one of your present Trustees, Zibeon
L. Packard, who was fellow student OF
mine when was last al Hebron, found
more familiar names in the church-yard
than among the living. Indeed, felt Ike
Ike an old fellow, although here | still
pass for a youth. Mr.. Small, now a
preacher OF fame at Fall River, was then
Principal Before him was Mr.. Fairbank,
now a leading clergyman st Middleboro,
In this State.
But what | recall with most genuine
satisfaction was the zest OF learning; that
fresh, new Seed-time, the very spring
time OF life. the dawning Of intellectual
force and requirement in the ranges of
scholarship. / can see the very lines OF
Cicero and Virgil that then | first read. /
can feel the ardor with which felt was
opening the door 20 stores and treasures
OF literature, richer than caves OF gold;
and can sympsthize with you and your
classmates In that inspiration which you
feel a. students; the desire 10 stretch aud
use your mental forces-the freshness and
chiyalrouSntSs OF the ScAOOl-days.
With Kind regards,
Truly yours,
