AMBASSADOR
HARVEY AND
PEACHAM AGA.
Thad Stevens and George
Harvey Never Gradual
ed From There

The Barre Times has the follow
ing interesting letter from Waite
F. Glover, a former principal O
Peacham academy, concerning The
school days of the two most dis
tinguished students of that famou.
school:
Your interesting editorial com
ment on the action of the trustees
of Peacham academy. in granting
an honorary diploma to Ambassa-
dor George Harvey, leads me to of
fer you information concerning
the academy which may not be
generally known.
In the spring of 1898 the trus-
tees granted diplomas to five
yonng women, who, in the strict
sense of the word, We're the first
graduates of the academy. For "a
years prior to that date Peacham
academy had served as a college
preparatory school, and had offer
ed what was then considered a
thorough course, as the Dartmouth
faculty for years were glad to tes-
tify.
One may read in his biography
that about the year 1912 Wilbur
Fisk. founder and first president of
Wesleyan university, who repeat
eddy refused the office of bishop of
his church, was so we'll prepared
at Peacham that he entered college
as sophomore. At about the
same time Thaddeus Stevens, the
acknowledged leader of the Amer
lean Congress during the dark
days of the Civil War and recon
stluction, who made life as inter
esting for Andrew johnson as did
Colonel Harvey for Woodrow Will
son, wa.s also we'll prepared for
college when he hastily and angrl-
" left Peacham after the puritanic
trustees had administered discipline
for the infraction of one of their
rules which his radical young soul
considered ANTICIPATED.
And yet these two great men and
many others scarcely less eminent,
including the present ambassador
at the court OF SAINT James, were
not graduates of Peacham acad-
envy, because they did not stand
smiling or trembling on the plat
form of the academy hall, against
bank of hemlock boughs dotted
with daisies, on a rare day in June,
to receive at the hands of the ven
cradle president of the trustees a
diploma tied with dainty ribbon,
| do not know whether Colonel
Harvey took the full course or not,
1t is quite possible, however, that
he was in such a hurry to be at his
Job of making and unmaking pre-
sidents that he did not remain to
learn all that Mr.. Bunker could
teach him. At any rate we should
all rejoice that he is now "grad-
uate" of Peacham Academy.

terests your interests and remem-
Der that though your training may
have fitted you for skilled work
you are not dnftted for doing the
drudgery of The place.
There comes also the temptation
to think too little of yourself. If
you go to college do your college
work first and then take up ath-
letics, the social life and the other
college activities. Resist the
temptation to think of yourself
simply as an athlete or social
leader You have the power to
become a leader in your regular
college work. Do not be satisfied
with any work that is not well
done. In social life do not think
of yourself as a member of a lit
tie clique. You are too big to be
a social snob. The men and
women who hold the responsible
positions in life are democratic in
spirit, easily approached and they
succeed because they can mingle
with others.
And lastly resist the temptation
to place undue emphasis upon
money. Let NE impress it upon
you that money is not the thing
which will give you happiness,
and strength. Get
enough money to make life pleas
ant, easy and comfortable, but
don't think it is something to be
boarded. The -four things accord
ing to the teachings of men that
lead to happiness, contentment
and strength are health, clean
thoughts, a clear conscience and
4 useful occupation. Live in a
neighborly friendly fashion with
folks and you will find that with
these four possessions you will
find in life happiness, contentment
and strength.
