SAMPSON POWERS, ESQ., CINCINNATI, OHIOt ' PROMISED a short note in regard to my recollections of THOMAS HUGHES, the man Who left by will the bulk of. his real estate for school purposes, and Which property ' ultimately, in pursuance of an act of the legielature of the State of Ohio, and 0f the Union High School Board of the City of Cincinnati, successfully terminated in the Hughes High School of the said city. Were it not for such men as THOMAS IIUGHES and WILLIAM WOODWARD, this generation would look in Vain for institutions like the Woodward and Hughes High Schools of our city. I believe that Mr. HUGHES took the initiative in school bequests, followed by Mr. WOODWARD. It is worthy of' note that in both of these bequests there are no doubts as to their objects, and n0 reversions -the bequests being absolute. The writer first became acquainted with THOMAS HUGHES in the fall of 1818, and from that time until the fall of 1822 had a more ex- tended knowledge of him, and which, from that period up to the month of March, A. D. 1824, ripened into a more intimate acquaint- ance. It is mainly from the last mentioned time, that the writer amid In Memoriam. bases his recollections of, and gives his version as to Who and what manner of a man was THOMAS HUGHES. There is no man with whom I am now acquainted that I can in any sense compare him to. I mean either in physical appearance, social qualities,.habits, or aught else. He was THOMAS HUGHES and nobody else. Yet he had one good qualitye-a mind of his own-a,' purpose which in the end. that mind carried out. The result of that purpose is of record and ' - t i a , . , . . V . ' nihgh mnamm -u.';..z4'. Rwl .n'. ; vL-J ILAIM being developed. He was only at times communicativeegenerally reticent. He lived alone, and in an humble cabin on the north side of Liberty street, Cincinnati, and, if now standing, would be west of , Sycamore street. I have written that he lived alone. I mistake. At the time of which I am writing ,he had a confiding compan- ion-a sorrel dogeand other pets in his select chickens, for which .he had names, at least for a few of the most distinguished; and in addition to these he had a sorrel pony. THOMAS HUGHES was fully as graceful a horseman as was Moses Dawson tdeeeaseda, and who, by the way, also had a sorrel pony. It has been said by some that Mr. HUGHES was never married. This is incorrect. He was at one time a married man, of and about which he seldom eonversed. The mere mention of the subject gave l evidence of its unpleasantness. That he was at one time by occupa- tion a shoemaker, there is not a doubt; and that he made but an indifferent living from off his land is also a matter of no question. From interviews and conversations with Mr. HUGHES, as to his nativity, I-at the time thought, and do now, that he was a native of England, and was born near the borders of' Scotland, and of Welsh descent. I never thought from anything I ever heard him say, the manner of his talking, pronunciation of words, and, in short, from all of his manner and from all about him that his nativity was in any one of the New England States of America. A Origin of the Hughes'Fund. 11 In regard to his last illness and death, I only know about it from what my kind friend John Melindy told me in 1825. Peter and John Melindy took care of THOMAS HUGHES in his last illness. He died in their house on the west side of Main and south of Liberty. street, Cincinnati, on the 26th day of December, A. D. 1824. His remains were interred in the Twelfth street burying-ground, Cin- cinnati, and when that ground was converted into the Washington Park, his body was exhumed and reinterred in Spring Grove Cem- tely, Cincinnati suburbs, where it now lies. It was measulably through the influence of John Melindy and his brother Peter Melindy that Mr. HUGHES was confhmed in HIS OWN CONVICTIONS of leaving the bulk of his real estate for school pur- poses. ORIGIN OF THE HUGHES FUND. HE last will and testament of THOMAS HUGHES, dated 4th day of December,.1824, provided that the ttresidue of my land and property aforesaid shall be appropriated and applied to the main- tenance and support of a school, or schools, in the city of' Cincin- nati, for the education of poor destitute children, Whose parents or guardians are unable to pay for their schooling; the said prop- erty, the management of the funds arising therefrom, and those who are fit subjects to receive the benefits thereof, are to be placed under the control ofa. Board of Trustees. . . . . . . The trustees who remain in said city are authorized to appoint others to 25.11 vacancies from time to time. . . . .

Pleasj In April, 1827, the tract of' land referred to was laid out into lots by the trustees. EBook 29, p. 17, Land Recs. of Ham. 100.1 March 3, 1845, a lot on Ninth street was purchased for $9,000, for the purpose of a High School, but in May, 1851, the same was sold for $15,700,- and the proceeds invested in a lot on the south side of Fifth street, at the end of' Mound, in Parlds Subdivision, the lot being 95 feet in front, and 200 feet deep. This ground cost $18,000, and is now occupied by the Hughes High School Build- ing, tDeed Book 168, p. 561.1 THE HUGHES PROPERTY-LOCATION AND VALUE. HE following data are from a verbal statement made by John C. Nye, Collector of the Hughes Fund: All of the Hughes property, except the Hughes High School lot, is situated between Main and Sycamore streets, and extends from Schiller street tthe next street above Libertyh, to the Young Ladies, Seminary, on Mount Auburn. There are also two lots, between Main and Sycamore, below Schiller street. Mr. Nye was understood to say that all of' the ground included in the Within boundaries originally belonged to this grant. The fee of but few of the lots has been parted with. The distance from Schiller street to the Young Ladies Seminary is about ten squares. There are now about one hundredland' twenty tenants; these rent about two hun- dred lots in all, or property capable of being divided into that number of lots. Three whole squares are yet undivided; one Wiowaaap-oogoe :2 - :94 vs-xamw The Hughes CProherzfy-Locczzfion and Value. .13 rented by Eden B. Reeder, and two by Mr. Huntington. The latter is now dividing his squares into lots. These three squares are now in pasture. The division of these squares Will not in- crease the revenue of' the fund, as the above parties are tenants. All of this property is on perpetual lease, at six per cent, With no revaluation. Of the lots built upon, about three-fourths are occu- pied by residences. The whole new rent for about $19900 gross. The original leases were made between the years 1836 and 1840, by the trustees. I 'Lots of this lease, Which, were the fee uninoumbered, would be worth from $2,000 to $3,000 each, are now renting for about $10 or $12, per annum; or less than one-half' of one per cent. The property was rented Without any improvements. i The trustees are disposing of the fee Whenever possible, and investing the proceeds in some manner likely to be more easily managed. Mr. Nye thinks that the tdisincumberedy fee simple 0f these leases of the two hundred lots Which might be laid out of these premises would average $500 each, or $100,000 in all; and that in time the fee of this estate Will be worth more than that of the Woodward estate. PRESENT VALUE. 5 i It would be quite difIieult to give the present value of the real 1'? estate of the Hughes Fund, outside of the Hughes High School property, incumbered as it is, with a perpetual lease, and Without h revaluation, but it would, probably, not bring more than $20,000 or $25,000. The Hughes High School property is doubtless worth $50,000, or $60,000. This is inoumbered by the cost of the school building over and above $15,000, which Will probably amount to about $10,000. Annual income, net, $1,870. It is placed under NWWWWWMaeakgeaj-ewv van; t5 491-74 0 aigwee u , A L h 14 The QBMMZ 0f Trusiees 0f the Hughes Fund. tions for life, and appoint their successors.

N the 19th day of May, 1851, the 8B0an of Trustees and Visitors of the Common Schools, the FcTrusteee of the Wood- ward College and High School, and the ttBoard of Trustees of the Hughes Fundf entered into a triplicate contract for the establishment of the nCincinnati Woodward High School? and the tiCineinnati Hughes High School, as they now exist, which was duly comirmed by the City Council. KDisneyls Laws and Ordinances of Cincinnati, pages 780-7981 Such contract was based upon an act of the Legislature, passed February 11, 1845, whereby the Common Schools of Cincinnati, with the concur- rence of the City Council, shall be empowered to establish such ttother grades of schools than those already established as may to them seem necessary and expedient; and, for the furtherance of' the above-named object, are also empowered, by and with the con- sent of the City Council, to contract with any person or persons, whether in their individual, or corporate, or fiduciary capacity, or with any institutions in relation to any funds that may be at the disposal of such person or persons, 01' such institutions, for the education of' all such children as are entitled to the benefit of common school fund instruction in the city? These schools were placed under the control of the ttUnion Board of High Schools, now composed 'of six members elected by the Common School Board, five members from the Woodward Board, and two elected by the Hughes Board from their numberein all thirteen members. Such schools were to be opened to all white youth who might apply, and Who were residents of the city. July 21, 1862, a res- olution was adopted by the Union Board, and duly approved, by wwewgmgzqh$xe.aimoiz H- Qxivww F 91-79? .4wgraleew 4 .e.h..---.vi-V.,.-.e--- ggeeeewm 9 9 ewe.

By a resolution passed July 18, 1864, such annual tuition was increased to $50. Bya subse- quent resolution it was increased to $60, which is the tuition at the present time. By the contract of consolidation the Woodward College and High School was to furnish the Woodward High School lot with the building thereon, and the annual income of the Woodward Fund, valued at about $4,500 ; the Board of Trustees of the Hughes Fund was to furnish the Hughes High School 'lot, and $15,000 cash, and their annual income of about $2,000; and all other items were to be furnished by the Common School Board. And it was made the duty of said Board to erect suitable buildings on each of said lots, either of which would accommodate five hundred schol- ' are, within a. specified time thereafter. In the event of the Com- mon School Board annulling such contract, by refusing, 0r: neg- lecting, to comply with the same, then the Trustees of the Wood- ward College and High School shall pay for the building erected ton their lot, in four equal annual payments, such an amount as may be agreed upon by three disinterested men; and the Trustees of the Hughes Fund shall pay the cost of the building erected on their lot,0ve1' and above the $15,000 by them furnished.

Knowlton, 0n the occasion of the First Annual Reunion of the pupils, teachers, trustees, and friends of the ttOld Central Sehoolt' of Cincinnati, held Saturday, June 7, 1856. Q4 wagg Q4 Lyj A TOAST, AND RESPONSE. ' ITaken from an tt 01d Central School Union PamphlotJ HE response to the following toast was made by Prof. Cyrus U h OUR TEACHERsFeWith a watchful pilot at the helm, and able craftsmen at every post, the storm-beaten vessel found a safe harbor. In the lives of their pupils may the principles of our teachers be read, and may every heart mirror their virtues. $9 MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: I can truly say that this g is one of the happiest moments of my life. These well-known faces, IE gathered together after years of separation-some from the bar, some from the desk, some from the counter, and all from scenes of useful- g ness and honor-arouse memories and excite hopes'of the most pleas- F ing and satisfactory kind. lit Visions of the past erowd into my mind. The ttOid Centralh comes back With its morning call, its busy hum of study, its inno- cent conspiracies for mischief, its a-ah-au-d, and its droll poetics and realities come with them. I see you already entered upon those diiferent paths which lead alike to the prosperity of yourselves and of our common country. The ttOld Centralt, was not a failure, it was a. great success, as the charming view before me, and others I might mention, would testify. The Central School was commenced in November, 1847, in the MWAVJMggE basement of the Lutheran Church, on Walnut street, below Ninth, very considerably below the surface of the ground. HOW flt its beginning! The acorn, from Which is to spring the tough oak, e ewwwmeawgemweetg ht WW M , mesa. ms .A Toast cmd Restonse. whose solid fibers are to constitute the keels of the monster masters of the sea, must be hid awhile from the sun and the breeze, that in silence and darkness it may begin its wondrous destiny. So with our school. No sun of popular favor warmed it to life, no breeze of public applause fanned it to strength. Thundered over by those mighty anthems With which the stern 01d Luther shook the thrones of a rotten hierarchy, and sent the blood of a newr life along the veins ofa dying morality, it quietly budded in its own strength, and grew. It was a genuine plant, and took naturally to the soil. It shot its roots deep, and rounded up sturdily, and after a very few years sent out two great branches, the tiWoodward and tiHughes, whose names, we hope, will fill the land. Its first principal was the Hon. H. H. Barney. Mr. Barney grad- uated at Williams College, under the famous old Dr. Nott, one of the dii majorum gentium-a regular Anakim of modern times. And that Mr. B. bore away some of the tinottyii strength of that old hero is amply shown by his deeds since he came to Ohio. It is Mr. Barneyts peculiar glorye-and glory enough for one man -that he inaugurated the present High School system, which has already scattered so Widely its benign infiuences, and the present Ohio School Law, the glory of our age. ttThese be bloodless victories, whose Trophies time shall never dim. Mr. Barney remained connected with the High Schools of Cin- cinnati until February, 1854, when, by the public voice, he was called to supervise, as School Commissioner, the educational system of the Whole State. And long may our people avail themselves of the ben- efits of his experience, his Wisdom, and his Skill! J4 Toast and Qesponse. In February, 1848, the school was removed from the basement to more commodious quarters on Center street. Up to this time, Messrs. Barney and Edwards alone had conducted the school. But Eden could not prosper Without a woman, nor could the Central School. Miss Eliza Bush was then invited to take charge of the Female Department, Which she did With credit for about one year and a half. . . . . . As the first female teacher of the Central School, she will ever claim a share in your memories. In the spring of 1848, E. D. Kingsley, Esq., was duly installed as our assistant teacher during the remainder of the year. Mr. Kings- ley was a man of kind disposition, and of great merit as an in- structor. In his round,fu1h face dwelt the promise of everything good in human nature. Mr. K. for some years past has been con- nected with the cause of educatien in Marietta, Ohio, as Superin- tendent of the Public Schools and Principal of the High School of that place. In the second session of this year, Miss Walters came among us as a teacher. She remained with us but a short time, but still long enough for us to learn her many virtues and lament her untimely departure. Soon after leaving us, at the end of the year, consump- tion claimed her for the grave. uShe sweetly sleeps; she sank to rest With all her pupils wishes blest. In 1849, Miss Mary Atkins was invited to flll the place pre- viously occupied by Miss Bush. Miss Atkins was a mother to you all. You Will never forget the sunny smile With Which she imparted instruction, nor the maternal affection Whose healing balm cured the wounds her admonitions made. Miss A. was devoted and untiring in her many duties, and her success is amply confirmed by the strong A Toast cmd Qesponse. 4g and tender feelings with Which her pupils ever regarded her. She remained connected With the school until after its division into the Woodward and Hughes. The next teacher, Miss F. Ellen Cassat, entered upon duty im- mediately upon her graduation, as a member of the first class, in 1851. I need say but little of the merits of Miss C. You, young gentlemen, of her class, well know that when anything hard in Trig- F, a ouometry, French, or anything else, was to be done, it was necessary to be up and doing to prevent the too common saying in that class, hdux faemina factii, To the Wisdom of the serpent, Miss C. united the gentleness of the dove. She remained With the school about two years. I: it t h $ Professor K. also paid a beautiful tribute to the occasional teach- Eg ers of ttOld CentraPL-Messrs. Locke and Aiken, Professors of Music; Mr. A. Brunner, Professor of French; Mr. Bowers, Professor of Pen- manship, and Mr. Shattuek, Professor of' Drawing. He concluded in the following truly eloquent language: 9 When the noblest matrons of Rome, blazing in gems and filled With pride, called upon the mother of the Gracehi, and asked to look upon her precious treasures, bringing forth her two sons in the blooming promise of a glorious manhood, she set them before them, saying, ttThese are my jewels? So, trained and instructed, allow me, on behalf of my fellow-teaehers, to present you. If in your lives a high sense of honor, a self-respect too jealous to allow wrong, and in regard for truth that will never 11inch to govern you, you will reflect honor and joy unceasing upon us.

PURE White marble head-stone, in the beautiful cemetery at Brandon, Vermont, bears the inscription : CYRUS KNOWLTON. Died at Glendale, Ohio, December 31, 1861. E. 39 yrs. And this is as much as is recorded of a majority of mankind, and even more than most, after the lapse of a few years, care to read. Only those names which go into history, or are identified with pub- lic institutions, are preserved beyond the generation, or the family record. Even historic characters are often, as the bands in machin- ery, mere instruments, by Which the real iipower behind the throne is brought to bear upon society. It is for the good and noble of every station, to set in motion moral forces, which, like the physical forces, are never lost, but, in some correlated form, shall always be felt. It was Mr. Knowlton's fortune to be, for several years, an important part of an institution, to Whose iniiuence we can fix no limit. When, in September, 1848, it became necessary to place in the it Old Central 8011001,, an additional teacher, on Whom was, in time, to devolve the administrative management of the prospective Hughes '2 . vuf N l A t i . . xv .

H. H. Barney, fell on Mr. Knowlton, as the proper person. The Central School Commit- tee, his associate teachers, the citizens, who manifested a deep interest in this, then new, feature, in our educational system, not to mention the many students of the Old Central, now filling responsible and honorable positions in life, will testify to the judicious selection. As asubordinate teacher in the Central School, and subsequently in the Hughes High School, Mr.,Kn0w1ton was faithful : his maxim, duty; his means, work; his opportunity, his position. In February, 1854, Mr. Barney, under whose administration the school had been organized and become a cherished part of our sys- tem, was called to a wider field 'of' labor. Mr. Knowltonis succession as Principal, seemed simply an enlargement of his Opportunity, and with him, duty and work were intensified by increased responsibility. It is in this character, chiefiy, as Principal of the Hughes High School, that Mr. Knowlton will be remembered, and regarded as the center from Which ema- nated forces which will not cease to be exerted for good. As an educator, his views were broad, and formed from careful observation and reiiection. Education, in his theory, comprehended available knowledge, the widest culture, and the complete develop- ment of the best character. In this view, the training of the school was a ii means rather than an endf7 Hence, the great importance be attached to thoroughness in the preparation, and accuracy in the recitation of a lesson. In the former he was exacting; always and cheerfully ready to assist or guide, he demanded effort on the part Of the pupil; in the latter, he was uncompromising. Many of his pupils Will remember, even gratefully, their mortifieation When a. O QOW O .;.

Clear enunciation necessitates clear thinking. So his experience, as an instructor, taught him. He did not require more from his pupils than from himself. He was an untiring stu- dent, a careful reader, and methodic thinker. In the preparation for his daily work, he was always before-hand. A blunt- statement of his rule of' duty, and one by which he seemed to be guided, was: it When you have anything to do, do it? As an instructor, he was apt in illustration, feiicitous in expres- sion, and needed. not authority to secure attention. He personally illustrated his theory of' concise diction. His opinion or advice, always freely given, was expressed in clear forcible sentences. Again: how many of his pupils Will remember his unmereiful erasures of their diluted essays, with the injunction to it rewrite and 1 express the whole in one-third the space, and also how fully he appreciated, and how vividly be portrayed the capacity of our lan- guage for rich and varied expression. Mr. Knowlton has been, by some, regarded as an extreme advo- cate 0f the ttmemoriter method i? of recitation. If by the memoriter method is meant, that system which substitutes memory for under- standing, intense and blind application of the pupil for earnest work of the teacher, is satisfied with words rather than thoughts, and Which, administered by a lazy, ignorant, undiseriminating teacher, wastes the time and dwarfs the intellect of the pupi1,then he was opposed to it. It is true, he was impatient with, tt I understand it but can not express it, from a student above the rank of childhood.

It is my business to see that you understand it. Prepare your- self With language to talk about it. While he did not it demerit ,i a prompt and clear recitation in the pupils own language, he was not content with even the exact language of the book, till he was satisiied that it was the expression of the pupilis own thought. He felt the importance of cultivating the memory in youth, and of establishing a tt habit of keeping what you get, and in some subjects, with tegat- books properly prepdred, would insist on memorizing the lesson. He was willing to rest the merits of his theory on his success. Let him speak for himself, on a. method of teaching one subject. LExtraet from The School Friend, an educational journal, of which Mr. Knowl- ton was an associate editor, May, 1850 :J tt AN EXERCISE IN HISTORY. nWe have used the following method in conducting reeitations in history, and have, we think, succeeded in keeping up the animation and eager curiosity of our pupils. This is necessary to render the study profitable. The text-book should be divided into short sec- tions convenient for being memorized. The lesson should be quite short, and rigidly committed to memory, both by teacher and scholar. This can be quickly and easily done after a little practice, and leaves the teacher free to use his hands, eyes, or tongue, for any purpose required by the exigencies of the class. One object in learn- ing it tby hearti is to give all parties absolute command over the grammatical, rhetorical, and historical construction of the lesson. After the task has been thoroughly mastered, so as to be repeated with almost perfect f111e11ey,the teacher calls on some one to repeat a V6186. Then commences the quizzing. Questions of all possible kinds,1elating to geogrbaphy, 1ammar,rhetorie history,ete.,a1e t0 ,V. St , k. WWWWWWWWWT In Memoriam --Cyrus Knowlzfon. 55 be poured out in rapid succession by the teacher. If the verse or sentence contains words Whose ideas can be conveyed by other words or phrases, all these are to be drawn out. If the idea of the his- torian has been fully ascertained, his judgment and taste is to be called in question, as to whether the idea has been clothed in a garb of proper strength, spirit, and beauty. it Thus, the lesson says, that tee a source of' useful and interesting knowledge, the History of England surpasses that of all other coun- triesJ The teacher calls for words, which, in the same connection, convey about the same meaning as tsource? One pupil after another answers, spring, origin, treasure, mine, well, collection, gran- ary, store-house, etc. So also, iusefulf profitable, beneficial, advan- , tageous, instructive, valuable, gainful, serviceable. Also tinterestingf pleasing, entertaining, pleasurable, agreeable, attractive, exciting, animating, amusing, diverting, inviting. Also, tlmowledgef infor- mation, instruction, Wisdom, learning, etc. Also, t historyf record of events, statement of transactions, narrative of' what has happened, story of what has transpired, etc. tEnglandf With some of its geo- graphical peculiarities, is then to be introduced to the attention of' the class. Also, t excels; surpasses, rises above, exceeds, goes before, is to be preferred, stands preeminent, etc. A few weeks practice in this rapid and thorough drilling, With short lessons, Will impart t0 the pupils great facility in grasping at once all the ideas of the his- torian with their remote connections, and will give them more real history than a much longer time of study by questions alone. A few chapters completely mastered in this way Will be far more advan- tageous than many studied superficially. Every page of the histories used in our schools is like the thin lava soil of volcanic regions. It covers many iire-scathed, desolated realms of the dead. The eye, voice, and gesture of the living teacher alone can bring to View the world that lies beneath. ttBefore his class, the teacher of' history should stand as a powerful magician, conjuring back the Wild and wonderous events which every sentence of the lesson unfolds. To him it belongs to light up the awful drama Which the historian of a dead world presents dimly wash. 56 In Memoriam-Cyrus Knowlton. to View. His imagination should illumine the darkened page, and his voice call up the spirits of the past. The sturdy warrior should come up, clanking his iron mai1,with his spear, and sword, and buckler, and grim 100k, and heavy tread. The wise lawgiver should come up with the crimes he has checked and the happiness he has diffused. The battlefield should come up with its streams of gore, its gaping wounds, broken armor, shrieks and groans, and death spasms of dying men, its heaps of dead, its fiery looks, its wrathf'ul struggles, its vengeful thrusts and mortal agonies; the flight of the vanquished and triumph of' the victors, its fearful stillness when death has done, the gashed and ghastly corpses when the spoiler has passed, the creaking vulture, the flame-eyed wolf, and the sickening smell of blood and rotting flesh. Dethroned kings should come up, and assembled councils, tramping armies, regions desolated by war or beautified by peace, subjects excited to rebellion 0r smiled on by quietness and prosperity; and manners and customs painted to the lifef7 As a diseiplinarian, Mr. Knowlton was strict, not only because he felt the importance of the moral training of those under his charge, but because the work before him and his pupils could not be accomplished without system; and order was with him a time and labor-saving condition. He could make the way of the transgressor hard, and under his scrutinizing inquiry the transgressor was gen- erally his own accuser. The countenance 0f the boldest culprit would fall before the stern look of his penetrating eye; and the most ingenious and unscrupulous fabrication would crumble under his searching examinations; and his seeming or real anger was regarded by the humiliated oifender as a just and righteous indigna- tion of his conduct. Nor did he withhold his approbation from the meritorious. If' his rebuke was keen and incisive, his approval, though not demonstrative, was pervading and satisfying. It was sunshine in the landscape.

He was of controlling presence. Language added force to natural expression,1aw t0 iniiuenee, and his power was felt by every member of the institution of which he was the head. Associate teachers sought his counsel, and felt and relied on his aid and support. Is it asked, what great work did Mr. Knowlton do? What edu- cational reform did he accomplish? It may be answered, Mr. 192: 4'53 ss-Jiir-egze Ohel Hairyihssg-w-s-tis O Knowlton had no hobby. The man of specialty in any profession may serve an important purpose; the man of general practice in that profession must comprehend and apply the details of general principles, and in this success isJ in the main, the best test of theo- retical and practical knowledge. And here, an extract, allowed by the kindness of the author, from the eloquent sermon of Rev. D. Shepardson, 0n the occasion of Mr. Knowltonis funeralJ is better than anything else that may be said: it His chief work was that .of a teacher. To this work his heart was given. In this employment his standard was high, and his devotion intense. The Cincinnati schools owe him a debt that can never be paid. His silent infiuence has pervaded the whole system. If' he did not always meet in the Teachers, Association, it was through excess rather than lack of interest. His energies were exhausted in his own. peculiar work. The solid fires, always burn- ing in his sehool-room, made their warmth felt, far and near. This was his chosen vocation, and well did he meet its responsibilities. A living, earnest soul, full of enthusiasm, he seemed to be impelled from within, to toil on incessantly for the education of others. Ever faithful to his high trust, keenly discriminating and thorough, he kginaawax-JQH wWMF '79P? ++ame4QOK-me 4?

' Was he sometimes cold or distant? He was absorbed and anx- ious. He had not time to cultivate many intimacies. Relaxed from professional labor, and with his family or friends, he was genial, sympathetic and unaffectedly amiable. Again, we quote from the sermon of Mr. Shepardson, Who sustained the relation of friend, pastor, and fellow-teacher : 8 True, he never made any false pretensions to friendship; but why do his pupils almost adore him? Why do all who knew him, feel that a friend' has departed ? Mr. Knowlton wanting in affection ! His heart was ever true and strong in its affections. Nurtured in a re1igi0us family, he early embraced the gospel. His piety was the deep under-current ef his existence-worship at work. Many oth- ers have been more devolut in the external manifestations of religion, but very few s0 zealous in deeds. Everything he said and did was direct, frank, and honest. Sometimes he seemed abrupt, almost blunt, but always candidii Mr. Knowllton was married September 20, 1848, to Miss Adeline Dodge, of Brandon. About 1855 he removed to Glendale, where he had erected an attractive residence. Of his early life we know comparatively little. He was born May 22, 1822, in the town where his mortal remains repose, at the base of the Green Mountain Range. The picturesque beauty and. 8 grand old hills 8 of that vicinity, must have contributed to his well-known love of nature. The lapse of time, the change of residence, the formation of new ties, or the cares of an over-taxed lif'e, did not diminish his attachment for the mag- nificent scenery that doubtless had its influence in molding his ' hewsgwwwmaa g2 mgmhg midism - .. . . A In Memorz'ame Cyirus Knowlton. 5g youthful character; and in later years, his most enjoyable relaiza- tion from the labors of his profession, were the mountain cliff, the lake, the trout-brook, and the varied and rugged scenery that charmed his boyhood. He received his elementary education in the schools of his native town, and at the age of nineteen, entered Middlebury Col- lege, where he remained'two years. He afterward entered Brown University, and graduated at the expiration of' one year. He had early learned and practiced the trade of his father teabinet-makerL but found in the calling of the teacher more congenial employment, and better opportunity for satisfying that thirst for knowledge which had been a trait of his earlier years, and which increased with time. By work in the shop and in the school, he acquired the means to carry him through college, and so well were his spare-hours 3;: employed that he accomplished the usual four years course in 37:? three. Q; Mr.,Know1t0n did not restrict his researches to the technicali- ties of his own profession, he felt that knowledge from every source would contribute to his usefulness as a teacher. He had for some time given special attention to law. In June, 1860, hoping to hnd in a new profession more ample provision for a dependent and growing family, and in a more varied life a restoration of his health, Which 'I had been visibly declining, he resigned his situation as Principal of J the Hughes High School, and in a few weeks afterward, was admit- , ted to the Ohio Bar as an attorney. He seemed not aware that the Q; demands of an unaccustomed work, the allurements of new fields of inquiry, and ambition of success, were tempting and taxing his ener- i giel, and that intense application was undermining the constitution he was anxious to preserve; and he heeded not the frequent admoni- tions of anxious friends, who saw that his end was approaching.

Then followed a few weeks of painful sickness, solicitude 0f friends7 and grief of devoted wife and five little girls, andepulmonary consumption had done its work. When informed by his physician that his death was near, he heard it with calmness and resignation. He expressed his grateful appre- ciation of the attentions and kindnesses of his numerous friends, his sadness for the trouble that threatened his country with civil war, and his great grief that he had not been able to make better provis- ion for his family. He was rapidly sinking. ttAre you ready to die? asked a. friend. He promptly Whispered, ttReady! In a few moments thereafter, his spirit had returned unto God. FORMATION OF THE SOCIETY OFiALUMNI OF THE HUGHES HIGH SCHOOL. L. J. UMOHUNDRO-CLASS OF 1856. S maturer years creep imperceptibl;r upon us, the recollections of our youth are ever fraught with sweetest pleasure. The remem- brance of those delightful days when life seemed formed of sunny hours, are the most pleasant thoughts we have. And whether in lifeis hrst struggles, in its meridian 0r declivity, no greater enjoyment is ours, than with some friend of early days, to talk over the incidents of' school-life, and call up again and again, the many friends, whom in the play-ground or class-room we were 4t --WW$KMQ -.gxa:-, H 5.61;. 00$; .,.1,1.;.:.ue;.;-y,-;,..-. oogyMchi 12;:W1-9V Formation -- Sociezfy of Alumni. 62 wont to meet. Still there is many a pang of sorrow, as we think, of those who have gone to their Eternal Home. The genuine pleasure of recalling the scenes of sehool-life is great, and we ever sigh for the rejuvenating fountain which Ponce De Leon vainly sought. But it is not youth alone we desirem-rather its Vigor and energy, conjoined With present judgment and experi- ence. Alas! youth and experience are not co-existent. When, for the last time at school, they, who for years have been bosom friends and intimate associates-who together have shared the hopes and fears, the joys and sorrows of' youth; when they join 1 Li ,1 x y 1 g : 4 T I g 1 hands to sing their Parting Song, and are about to leave their much- loved Alma Mater, to return no more in their present capacity, -A e e the thought comes unbidden to every heart, tiShall we not meet 6 again ?i, EA V4,: ,1 They are on the threshold of a new life, where, single-handed and alone, they must carve a way to success, and wring from an unwilling, $3th cold and jealous world, applause.

ROGERS READ. 9? i5 55 i 3 Cf: HEN that champion 01d sleeper, Van Winkle, awoke, and r: Qua emerged from the mists and shadows of that mysterious hollow, X Where he had spent a score of his best years in forgetfulness, how E: e terrible was his awakening! Shorn of his identity; cut adrift from 3 all his told associations, miserable though they had been; he found . himself but a strange, sadly-altered, bewildered intruder, upon the bright busy young life, which then flourished upon the very hearth-stones once so familiar to him. How the cry forced from his g stricken heart finds an answering echo in every human breast: ttAre i g F My friends, 01d ti Rip did not belong to our Alumnal Association, or our importunz'ties would'long before have broken even the spells, Which the ghostly crew of Heinrich Hudson had cast among the Wild glens 0f the Catskills. Not one of our number shall be forgotten, if unremitting labor can keep their names upon our records. With loving and anxious . care, we trace the paths of each dear brother and sister, at home, a i f we then so soon forgot ? t g abroad, through all of lifeis vicissitudes. Our hearts glow with pride, when those honors, dear to mortals, crown their browsz-in their griefs our sympathies are theirs, and we are glad With them in $ 'i their joys. Distance may separate, coldness estrange, and busy cares alienate us fora time; but at the call of our Alma. Mater, we are again one-0ne by the common memories of our happy past. And is her claim to be lightly esteemed or wholly disregarded? 9. Wwwmmwemwea fRehort of Corresponding Secretary, 75 tt Peace on earth, good will to men, was the song which sung by angelic hosts around unconscious Bethlehem in ages past, has swelled into an anthem7 echoing from pole to pole, from sea to sea, and shall we not, as the revolving year brings again that most blessed season, with its train of softening and hallowing iniiuences, perform our little part in hastening the fulhllment of that sweet prophecy, by en- larging our hearts, so that one little corner may be spared for the children of our Alma Mater? A little corner where exists not love, certainly-perhape not friendship-in the common acceptation of those terms, but still, a peculiar feeling more laeting than either, be- cause, while memory remains, we can never wholly cast it aside. Fellow-graduates, we want to impress upon you, the great neces- sity which exists for us as Alumnists tand successful onesy, for a one- ness of feeling and action. Interest must awaken some degree of responding interest, and we can not but feel great faith in the strength of union, unity of purpose in a good work, and such is every work thatIeE'ecte the advancement of men toward a common brotherhood. 1n the prosecution of our late inquiries throughout the country, talmost to its' utmost 1imitchoncerning graduates, with a view to the revision of our lists for publication, a wonderful amount of interest and pleasure has been awakened by our little messages, running like currents of' electricity through our large body of' Alumni. The history of this body records the fact, that its members are taking their places in the foremost ranks of our countryts living forces. All are earnest workers in some or other of the various fields of usefulness, open to all, regardless of the prestiges of sex, name, and position. The boys, as it were of yesterday, are to-day directing the affairse-shaping the destiny of our own and other cities. It may not be amiss to mention here, that our own city govern- ment, a short time since, by the suifrages 0f the citizens, was in- 76 Gealborzf 0f Corresxtonding Secretary. trusted almost exclusively to the ttHughes boys.

Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for Hamilton County, MOSES F. WILSON7 class of 1857. During the term 1868-9, our present President, SIDNEY OM0- HUNDRO, class of' 1862, occupied the honorable and responsible posi- tion of President of the Sunday-Sehool Union of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Hamilton County, Ohio. Never before, in the history of that organization, was a man so young, called to its Presi- dency. The administration of Mr. OMOHUNDRO was' a remarkably successful one. A striking feature, was the continual and profitable blending of the Laity and Ministry, in the prosecution of the work, looking to the moral training and religious education of the children of our county. Alluding t0 the closing general meeting of the term, the Gazette said 2-u These gatherings throughout the year have done much to strengthen this organization. They have been well man- aged by SIDNEY OMOHUNDRO, Esq., Who as President of' the Associa- tion, has brought to bear good judgment, Wholesome zeal, and a de- gree of Christian patience, that have contributed very much to the success of the Sabbath-School cause in the county.

Besides a numerous and honorable representation in the army, during the sad and recent war in our country, our Association was very creditably represented in the navy by one of our number-M. SHERWOOD STUYVESANT, class of 1856. The following sketch of the career of Mr. STUYVESANT, will probably not be uninteresting: He graduated from Hughes High School, in June 1856, at sixteen years of age,-was appointed to U. S. Naval Academy in August of same year; from which institution he graduated in June 1860, tak- ing the highest honors of his class, numbering eighty members. In 1861 was promoted to Master, and appointed aid-de-eamp t0 Commo- dore Pendergmst, commanding Gulf Squadron, and was at the same time, transferred to U. S. Frigate Cumberland, then Off Vera Cruz. Served in the Cumberland until sunk by the Merrimac, March 8, 1862, and escaped from that vessel as she was going under-was probably the last to leave her decks. Was wounded in this action, and received special mention in ofiieial dispatches. In April of same year, joined the gun-boat Port Royal, and served in her, in numerous engagements up the James River, at Fort Darling and elsewhere, for which he received special mention in Of- fieial dispatches, and was transferred to the Housatonie sloop of war as navigator. Was promoted to Lieutenant about same time. Served eighteen months in her, blockadingoff Charlest011,S.C.,a very arduous duty. Most of' the time was second in command. XVas transferred to full command of gun-boat Marblehead of same squadron, and from her to the monitor VVeehawken, then on picket duty in Charles- ton Roads. Was in command of this vessel when she went down in gale of wind, drowning one-third of her personnel. Was washed . WWW WeavyW-w WW... Relem't of Corresponding Secretary. ' ever heard, and picked up, not a moment too soon, by a boat from a. neighboring vessel. His next orders were to U. S. steam frigate Minnesota, as second in command. Received special mention for services in capture of Fort Fisher, the main defense of' Wilmington, and also for fine condition of the vessel and crew. In February, i653, the war being at end, applied for shore duty, and was put on the 3 staff of the U. S. Naval Academy. Later, was transferred by re- quest, to U. 8. Navy Yard at Mound City. a In March, I66, was promoted to Lieutenant Commander, and joined the double-turreted, sea-going monitor, Miantonomoh,'the ' i most ehieient iron-elad Which ever put to sea, and the first one to ' xeross the Atlantic. In her he made probably the most interesting I cruise, ever made by any U; S. man-of-war, Ieoasting Europe from St. Petersburgh to Naples, and meeting with ovations 'in every port. i Served in the Miantonomoh as naviwatinor and ordnance officer and . a o 2 later as second in command, , In August, ,67, he joined the Wateree of the South Paeitie squad- '3 ron, and was in command of that vessel, when driven ashore by the tidal wave which followed the terrible earthquake of August 13, I438. She was the only vessel Which escaped entire and Without loss of life, but was left by the receding waters four hundred yards inshore of ordinary high water mark. Received special mention in C. dispatches, for coolness and efficiency in this emergency. Lastly he joined the U. S. Nyaek, on same station, from Which vessel he resigned his commission as Lieutenant Commander, and re- turned to the United States in November, ,68, and is now a law student in Cincinnati, Ohio. Many important public trusts, are now in the hands of members gg of our Association. Igi emwmmwemwmsf . thori 0f Coweshonding Secretary. 79 Colonel OZRO J. DODDS, class of 1858, is a. member of the Ohio State Legislature. MOSES F. WILSON, class of 1857, is Prosecuting Attorney of the Police Court of our city. HARRY H. TATEM, class of .1857, is Secretary of the Cincinnati Board of Trade. LEONARD W. Gross, class of 1855, is a member of the Cincinnati Board of tTeachersj Examiners. JULIUS F. BLACKBURN, class of 1855, is City Clerk tCity of Cincinnat'g, and CHAS. II. STEPHENS, class of 1853, and HARRY II. TATEM, class of 1857, are members of the Cincinnati Union Board of High Schools. There may be other graduates occu- pying important public positions, but, if there are any, they are un- known to the writer. Passing from these public positions, into the educational depart- ments of this and distant cities, we find the ttHughes11 ttboys and ugirle occupying places demanding the highest grade of disciplin- ary and intellectual culture. Miss ISABELLA C. PORTER, class of 1858, refiects credit upon our Association, by the occupancy of the Lady Principalship of our own Alma Mater. Miss MARY CLARKE, class of 1862, also has returned to the. 6 Old Hughes 11 as a teacher. Miss SALLIE L. BROOKS, class of 1856, is a teacher in the Cincinnati Woodward High School. Miss CAROLINA NEWHALL, is a teacher in the Cincinnati Normal School. We 6nd GEORGE F. SANDS, class 0f1855, Principal of the 14th District School tcityy. JOHN H. MORTON, class of 1867, Assistant Princi- pal of the Twelfth District School tcityy. JACOB BROMWELL, class of 1864, Assistant Principal Third Intermediate School tcityy. Besides these, a large number of our graduates are creditably filling minor positions in our public schools. Leaving our own city, we observe Miss MATTE OULBERTSON, class of 1866, occupying the position of Lady Principal, in the Gov- ington tKentuckyy, High School. Miss MITTIE E. LOWRY, class of GQaAbowf of Corresponding Secretcwy. i1869,is also an honored teacher in the same school. Major A. M, VAN DYKE, class of 1857, is Superintendent of the Public Schools at- Ironton, Ohio. Miss HORTENSE Gr. SNYDER, class of 1868, is a teacher in the Springfield High School, Springheld, Ohio. This exhibit, which we believe is complete, would bring no discredit to any in- stitution of learning. JOSEPH AUB, class of 1863, is Assistant Surgeon to the New i York Ophthalmic and Aural Institute, New York City, New'York; and ALEXANDER C. GRAHAM, class of 1864, is physician of' the Womans Hospital, same city. In business and professional circles, a corresponding degree of prominence is maintained by our graduates. In glancing over the lists, we find some whose short record is finished by one word, llDeceased. These we pass in tender silence- as gentle, lovely girls, full of' bright fancies and noble thoughtseas earnest, ambitious boys, With life full of promise spreading out before them. Their faces will never change to us, who remember them. Time and grave cares can never'overshadow them now, early gath- ered to the bosom of' their God, and sheltered by His loving arms. May their memory ever remain green in our hearts ! Of our great loss of all losses, in the person of our most beloved teacher and friend, CYRUS KNOWLTON, we can say but little. No poor words of ours can do justice to his many Virtues, and we leave this subject, humbly feeling that it Will meet justice at the hands of one, in every way qualified for a task, to us, so sacred. We loved and honored him most truly. His place can never be filled by an- other in the same respects. Such an example as his, should 00n- stantly stimulate us to renewed effort. cgDo your best, angels can do no more;7 was one of his mottoes, urging us forever On, to reach the highest possible standard. Let us here impose upon ourselves, fel- erjort of Corresponding Secremry. 81 10W graduates, a determination, that we Will put forth our best endeavors, to follow in his footsteps, and s0 best honor him, and our other dear teach ers laboring in the great cause. Let us stand firmly together as an association, representing the h Old Centralf for so some of us began-and hOld Hughes forces-forces that shall make themselves felt far and near throughout the community. And let us make a name Which men may be glad to honor-and let our work and harvest be such, that God and his holy angels shall approve. EWe unintentionally omitted laudable mention of P. S.

Time is ever slowly ebbing, Brightest joys are soonest gone, Youthts fond pleasures, too, are transient, Failing ere they tre fairly won; But the merrfry of school hours, In our hearts will be most dear, Tinting with their hues of beauty, Clouds of sorrow, toil and care. II. G0 ye forth, then, dear companions, 0211me view the field of life, Steadfast in the path of duty, Quail not in the coming strife; And when darkening cares assail thee, h Seek and find in heaven a guide, Placing trust in Him, our Father, Good, not evil, shall betide. III. - WWWWWWWWg Here we part, and yet, though severed Are the bonds that bind us here, Friendship's claim shall neter be broken, But shall hold us ever near, And though through this world of trouble, A11 perhaps may widely rove, Guided by the star of heaven, May we meet at last above. aha, .4. .24 Wetrospect. A RETROSPECT. THEODORE F. SPEAR, CLASS OF 1862. APPY is he whose youth has been bright and joyous! The true import of this is realized especially in the experience of the old. Outliving early associates, and the infirmities of many years creeping upon them, their worldlis narrowed more and more each day. At last, perhaps the only friend remaining, is Memory, but by its magic touch the present is transformed, and blooms in all the? beauty of the far-off past. But Why need we thus moralize? No matter to What the flight of time may bring us, .We are gently dealt With now. Our hearts are strong and trustful, and: the fires of youth are blazing brightly. It has not been so long ago, but that we can easily retrace the steps Which led us to the building, around which cluster so many fond recollections. Life is made up of strange combinations; joy and sorrow, toil and rest, pain and pleasure, all enter into its composition, but of all the bright days, it is conceded by every one that those spent at school, bear off the palm of victory. We do not say before the knowing ones of our dear Alumni, that there was no such thing as sorrow in our youth- ful cups. We remember vividly such little grief's as being detained an hour after our fellows had all gone, to make up neglected lessons, or atone for some grievous fault. Little shadows would sometimes flit across the sunny pages of our happiest days, but then the golden beams of the morrow would speedily chase them away. Our faith- less memories were a fruitful source of yain-of bodily pain, at least, for how often were they tispliced With timbern when they failed us at some critical point! This process of cHsplicing was 84 .24 Qatmspect. not exactly according to Wayland, but then we had not so much as heard of him or his ttElementsiigthe distant High School being to us as the Temple of Fame, Only to be dreamed about by our wild fancies. , Time bore us steadily along, till beholdi we were within the portals of the Temple, a number given us, a room assigned us, and we commanded to undergo a. rigid examination. The ordeal passed. But what anxiety was ours! Within a few days, we were told, the numbers of the fortunate would be published. No lottery ever had more impatient patrons or feverish watchers. The wheel turned, and we Were supremely happy. A joyous season of rest followed, but soon we were marshaled before the dignitaries with whom the four succeeding years would be spent. .. As we think of it all, what pictures rise before us! Our old associates troop along, one by one, as the familiar roll is called. But stop! here comes a laggard. tiLate again, as usual? Judge him not harshly; hear his story first. til started early, and the tDutch clock, is just now striking ninefi We look and 1isten,and find it true. How often were we saved a journey home for written ttexeuse by this same old treacherous clock! We shall not forget the numberless repairs it took to make it go, and how all toil was merely thrown away, because the hands on every face would tell a different tale. In the steeple which contained this priceless treasure of a time- piece, and but a stoneis-throw from the school, were four great bells. And how they clanged and jangled! We are seated in our class, deeply intent upon the mysteries of gravitation. We confess to a little nervousness, when asked to demonstrate by figure on the black- board, the third great law, Which makes an apple fall, and yet binds worlds together.

But there is no need for that. A sound falls faintly on our ears. h Did ye not hear it?H tt No, lt was but the wind, or the car rattling oler the stony streets? A few seconds pass, and all doubt is ended. Peal upon peal, With thunder tones, drowns out our weak- ened voice, andawe are saved. Nothing can be heard within reach of them, and lessons are suspended for an half hour at least, and Ger- , many pours forth her citizens as ttHoly Dayl is proclaimed. Our number counted every grade of disposition. Here is the good boy, steady of conduct, never breaking rules by stealthy whis- pers, always posted in his books. N0 trouble does he ever give, but his seat-mate is the veriest scamp of all the crowd. Never still, always on the watch for something to beguile himself and friends with smiles. Ever in the way of temptation, no wonder he falls an easy prey; and many a ttzero counts against him, because he would not, or could not, be demure. He meant to do right, but a little finger crooked, a slight .shrug of the shoulders, a wink, or an expressive look, was enough to break down scores of resolu- tions formed while feeling the odium of' some previous scrape. But on he goes, making fun for the crowd, a favorite with all, and no one happier than himself. rPhe sly and crafty boy comes next. What a faculty he had of making all around him laugh outright! Yet no smile ever lighted up his face, as the wrath of the teacher fell upon his Victims caught in the act. How innocent he looked, and how indignant if perchance suspected! ttInjured Innocence, apt was thy nickname! These pet names, by Which we knew each other, cling to us still, in many cases.

Compositions, the bane of waking hours and food for hideous nightmares, had to be presented in due e time, neglecting which, we suffered untold pains. Detained beyond the close of school, we take our desk, a blank sheet before us, and, Worst of all, a blank and weary mind within us. In vain we dip our pen-no inspiration comes, and we are desolate. We are even denied the use Of HVVebeteI-le Unabridgedf and, alas! the tt Cyclopedia osteful Knowledge rests calmly upon its shelf, all unmindful of our grief. Our mental wells are dry, and nothing can be drawn therefrom. At last our teachereand we bless him for it-is tired out, and we are respited till morning. Night passes, and we bring the looked-for essay. Donlt ask us how we wrote it. Our brain is at ease, the dismal plight of yesterday forgotten. Is not that enough? Few of us were ever known to exceed the prescribed minimum of tttwo pages of letter or three of note paper. But recommend us to the tlnotef, for, by actual count, less words were requisite to hll its limit, and how these words would sprawl! Three of them would take possession of a line; but we had learned the adage well, uLine upon line;7 and that motto was our battle- cry. We pass to declamation, and become a set of tt artful dodgers. I Two well-conned speeches would last perhaps a year, unless some luckless fortune tripped us. We do it thus: This week goes num- ber one, next week well try our number two, and then begin again te follow in the same old rut. Sometimes it happened, by the rulings of some Harpy Who had devoted us to wrath, that our selections were unfortunate. Instance the favorite ttInvective of Grattan, the loved theme on which some of us hung so tenderly and $.32va .19 Q3 lines; 5 l 3;: 4 i - - .t ..:. m :g.:.'. shWMEhIW ' :61- - .1 .A Qatrospec'zf. so long. It begins thus: uHas the gentleman done? Has he com- pletely done? We choke down a laugh as tour orator proceeds to; the accustomed spot, and begins the hold, old story? for the six- teenth consecutive time. Alas! the fraud is discovered, and as he asks, ttHas he completely done?n he is as completely answered by our Prof'essor, who, with looks that bode no good, assures him that tt the gentleman referred to, as well as himself, may be considered as forever done. Forthwith a task is assigned, which has at least the charm of novelty. Days slip away, weeks and months are growing into years. We fmd ourselves in the laboratory, exploring the occult science of chemistry. As we eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge, we must of' necessity learn things both good and bad. The way is found by which to mar the beauty of an interesting experiment. See how nicely everything is working. Here is the formula. We take this combine it with that, apply heat, and a new compound is formed: It is an acid, so pronounced by Silliman. The litrhus is applied,: and we are waiting the result with wrapt attention. It does n't' change its color.

His stock in trade is mostly sulphurets, whose breath, unlike the extracts distilled by Lubin 0r Bazin, brings wild confusion.

The last year has come, and we are privileged characters. The rigid rules are pliant now; they bend, and often break, but the pen- alty is not inhieted. We are admitted into closer yet respectful intimacy, with those who have so long watched over and taught us. We endeavor by our best behavior to atone, if possible, for our past misdeeds. How kind our teachers are, and how we now regret that soon we shall be parted. Our friendships strengthen, and become the it four-fold cord so hard to break. We are very busy, too. Old studies are reviewed,1essons most forgotten are restored, and now our tasks are done. The old gong strikes, calling us together for the last time. It is Commencement Day. The hall used only on state occasions, is crowded to its utmost. We hie upon the stage, make our how, our speech is hurried through, and at last we are admitted to the honors of our Alma Mater. After the lapse of years, we stand again amidst the same old throng. We look around, but some are absent. Loved faces, well- remembered forms, have faded out of sight. The Angel Reaper, With his scythe, has gathered from our band, but still we love to think of each one in his accustomed place. There is no need of raeg-tk 2659+ .394 4H5: .3 .v.

Responsibilities rest upon us, and we are trying to meet them bravely. It is true that we have forgotten much, but we are stronger and better for the training we received. The discipline that study gave us, has helped us over many an obstacle, has smoothed many a rough road. We gained patience, too; and When success has been denied us, our hopes have not withered, but we have girded ourselves afresh, for a more Vigorous warfare. We have learned ttto labor and to wait. Our aims are high, and we rejoice in the triumphs of each other. We are united by the closest ties, and life has few happier hours, than those spent in recalling our old experiences. We are scattered over the length and breadth of our vast country, but wherever our lots are cast, or whatever distances may separate us, we are one. Brothers, God grant, when this life is oter, In the life to come that we meet once more. WWW era's 4+ sum 4W:QMIO'6+ mm. . 90 tEggir-axe 4 iiiA 9 L Jere! ghee O Kiri 22-45-t Hkgi'EAf-Ktlf.

Monument'to the memory of THOMAS f HUGHES, although at times discussed, never assumed a dehnite shape until November 24, 1865, When at a. called meeting of the Society of Alumni of the Hughes High School, Charles E. Stephens introduced the following motion, Which was at once unanimously carried: e h That a Committee of three be appointed to present at the approaching Reunion, some plan for raising funds, with Which to erect suitable monuments to the memory of THOMAS HUGHES and CYRUS KNOWLTON, Esqrs., deceased? The Committee was then appointed in the following order: Sidney Omohundro, L. W. Gross, and Charles II. Stephens. The President of the Society, Samuel A. Butts, Jr., was made a member 0390 017mm of the Committee. At the said Reunion, held in the Catholic Institute, on the evening of December 28, 1865, the above Committee presented a. plan of operations, contemplating an entertainment, and also sub- scriptions. On motion of L. J. Omohundro, the report of the Com- mittee was received and the plan adopted. At the instance of Benjamin B. Stewart, the Committee were empowered to increase their number, and to proceed and execute the plan proposed. The following named graduates, on January 8, 1866, were added to the Monument Committee, pursuant to the action of' the Asso- ciation, at the Reunion above mentioned: William T. Tibbitts, Lit. J. Omohundlo, HarryII. Tatem, and Joseph S. Peebles. The Com- mittee subsequently organized by the election of the following per- Th6 Monument Movement. manent officers: Charles E. Stephens, Chairman; Sidney Omohune dro, Secretary, and H. H. Tatem, Treasurer. The Committee, as increased and reorganized, made its first report to the Society on the evening of June 30, 1866, which was accepted, and from which we make the following extract: uWith much love for the work, and an unchangeable resolu- tiOn to do What the cause demanded, your Committee commenced working. In all of' their operations, however, they have not asso- ciated the name of 0111- worthy and much respected deceased teacher, CYRUS KNOWLTON, with their movements; but have made everything bend to the erection of a single monument, over the grave of THOMAS HUGHES. The Committee feel that the Society will sanc- tion their action in this matter, for the following reasons: ttThcy ascertained from Mr. J. M. Edwards, who has visited the grave of Mr. KNOWLTON, that his body was carried East, and now lies in a cemetery at Brandon, Vermont, with a very appro- priate and beautiful monument over it, somewhat diiferent from ordinary monuments, and corresponding very well, indeed, With the beauty of the cemetery in which the body now rests? The Committee have been constantly and faithfully at work, during the five years, now ending. And they are now enabled, through the commendable cobperation 0f the members of the Asso- ciation, and the sympathy of other friends of the movement, to report the requisite amount raised. See note on page 98.1 A beau- tiful lot, and perhaps the best located of' any, has been donated by the Directors of Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati suburbs, on which to erect the monument. The donation was gratefully accepted by the Committee, and their action was approved by the Association. In the selection, of a design for the monument, the greatest possible time was exercised. To get the best and most appropriate monu- ment for the money to be expended, was the ruling desire of those, ,a-A Mme re. Wig. .; .L 1i: 5.... .;.

On the evening of Wednes- day, November 16, 1870, in the room 'of the Board of Trade, Cin- cinnati, Ohio, :1 design was adopted. We append the following article, taken from the Daily Times, of the following day: t1 THE HUGHES MONUMENT. The MonumentCommittee of the Society of Alumni of Hughes High School, met last evening at the Board of Trade room, and decided to adopt the design submitted by Battereon, Oanfield 8t 00., of Hartford, Connecticut. tt The entire hight 0f the monument Will be twenty-one feet nine inches. The pedestal rests upon three bases, the lower one being eight feet square, and including them Will be fourteen feet in hight. Hts general character is of a temple design,the cap resting upon four artistically carved columns in relief. In the recess is a square granite block resting upon the base and extending to the top of the columns, which serves as a four-sided tablet for inscriptions and also as a support to the cap. The pedestal is surmounted by a female figure seven feet in hight, representing the Genius of Education. She rests upon a fluted column surmounted by a globe and beam in her right hand a Roman stylus With Which she has just insc11bed the name of' Hughes upon 2L tablet. tt The design as a Whole, is exceedingly beautiful, very appropri- ate for the purpose intended, and the Committee have displayed fme taste and good judgment in its selection. t1 The monument Will be constructed entirely of the best quality of American granite, and when complete, Will cost $6,000.H The monument Will be completed and erected in Spring Grove Cemetery, in the spring of 1871 tD. VJ A beautiful feature of the monument movement consists in the fact, that almost every graduate-appreciating his privz'leges-contrz'buted of his means to the monument fund. We have been thus brief in this sketch for the reason, that this subject will be more minutely considered at some future and early period. WWWWWWQQQTW 41.

There is also a request, that the amount of the annual dues be forwarded to the Treasurer. I have never paid any dues. In themawwmmwmmwmetg Correspondende. fact, I left Cincinnati almost immediately after graduation, and never have attended any of the meetings of the Alumni.

Though so long absent from my early home, seldom meeting with many of my old schoolmates, and absorbed in the cares of an active and busy life, my attachment to my Alma Mater has never grown cold, and I always look back to the days spent Within the walls of the 01d ct Hughes? with pleasure and With pride.

CINCINNATI HUGHES HIGH SCHOOL, Thursday Evening, December 29, 18 70. t To the Graduates: HALL we not have an Annual? has been a question often asked and re- asked. There were certainly many reasons in favor of the publication of such a book, and we might add, no good reasons against its publication. Fully impressed that the publication of an Annual, would awaken a new and living interest in our Association, and fully persuaded that the work could be done, the present administration t1870-7ly determined to undertake the task. In con- formity with the power given the Executive Committee, under Section 4, Article 3, 01d Constitution, the undersigned Committee on Annual, was appointed in July, 1870. Work Was at once commenced; and to the question: tt How has prospered the movement 1? our answer is the book itself, whose first volume we place in your hands to-night. The work of preparation has been peculiar and very arduous. To reduce to book form the whereabouts of three hundred and thirty-six graduates, who have been scattered in all directions for nearly eighteen yearsegiving the occupation of the living, and the date of the death of the deadehas been a severe task. Our appeal for the cobperation of members has been 110ny responded to, with but few exceptions. We present the record of graduates, in a condition as complete, as toil, perseverance and patience could make it. We know the list is correct, and believe the occupations and addresses to be strictly reliable. If unknown mis- takes have occurred, criticise them tenderly. Let other and future committees profit by them. We have published only the place of residence of each graduate, omitting the name of the street and the number of the house, because the last two items are constantly changing, in many cases. The occupation and place of residence being given, it is not a ditilcult matter to find the graduate. The items omitted, however, are carefully preserved on record by the Corresponding Secre- tary, and they are valuable in this, that they insuIe the speedy delivery of circu- lars sent out by the Association. Employees, positions not being permanent in their character, we have in most instances omitted the names of the firms for '-' we . r . o .c ' r w The Committee's Table. Which they are at present working. Graduates without occupations, are quoted tt Residence at Home? ' We have done the best we could; and while we solicit lenity for imperfec- tions, we are coniident that our Annual will be gladly welcomed. Its pages Will awaken pleasing recollections, and though, perhaps, the book to strangers may be uninteresting, to the graduates it will be, we trust, replete with interest-full of news from the members of our much scattered family. Sincerely yours, in the interest of the Association, Mrs. EVA B. ROGERS READ, CHARLOTTE J. ROWE, ISABELLA C. PORTER, RODERICK D. BARNEY, FANNIE MCCARTY, LEONIDAS B. COOK, SIDNEY OMOHUNDRO, President of Society, and Chairman qf Committee an Annual. OUR CONTRIBUTORS. We are proud, and justly too, we think, of the contents of the present volume. The authors of the articles will pleaseaccept our hearty thanks, for the valuable aid Which they have aiforded us, at perhaps Jthe most critical i period of ttThe Annual's life. One article which appears, we selected from the treasures of by-gone years-JtThe Parting Song, by Albert I-I. Allen. The brother being dead, we thought the article would be very acceptable. The articles having reference to the Hughes Fund, Property, Trustees and School, were taken from the pamphlet on HUniversity Project,H pub- lished by the Cincinnati Board of Education. We will add here, that the intellectual objects of our Association, should not be forgotten. We have minds, which must be cultured. Aspirations that were enkindled when we were pupils, should be fostered. We should re- member that our usefulness, in a lafge degree, depends upon this culture. OUR, ALUMNAL DEAD. Although we were in possession of some of the references made, and some of the resolutions passed, on occasions of the death of a few of our graduates, we deemed it best, as we did not have them all, to omit the publi- P cation Qf any. By this ruling, the heart of no one will be lacerated, and all Will be satisfied. But our Alumna! dead should not be fmyotten, and the bereaved ones among us, should be the objects of our sympathy and prayers. When a. '
