Strong is his grandson. Samuel Harvey,
one oil the vice presidents ancestor, was
the first president of the board. The first
treasurer, General Whitelaw, has also
two representatives among its members,
Oscar WhiteIaw of st. Louis. and Mrs.
Ellen Anderson of Brookline, Mass. Gen.
eral Whitelaw was noted for his maps
and had an interesting history. DR..
David Goodwillie of New York city. an
other vice president, is the son and grand
son of two of the honored presidents of
the board, Revs. Thomas and David
Goodwille of Barnet. 1t is matter of
qualification to the society that there is
so large representation OF members nor
only OF the first nine trustees and first
preceptor, Ezra Carter, but also of ma
tive VcrmoRters, who were among its
alumni, and have marked out a pathway
in the world, and reflect honor upon
themselves, upon their early education
and the state from which they went
forth. The first nine trustees were rep
resentative men in more respects than
one, coming from the different towns in
the county, they were also pioneers in
those towns as well as pioneers in the
cause of education and short sketch of
each one is desired by the alumni society.
Some one remarked that there is no place
where age is so much at premium as
on centennial occasions. 1t is also de-
sired to obtain sketches Of later precep-
tors and "reminiscences of the school will
be very acceptable. The fee for member
ship is very small and it is now expected
that there will be representative social
