To Mk. ji-nies lJL'xc,xx PHILLIPS we DEDICATE 'rms Mluzsroxa or 1934 Through Mr. Phillips' interest in the New England colonial history and in the historical background of Essex County, hefirst became interested in Governor Dummer .Academy. The traditions of the Academy, its history, and the history of the Dummer family made this interest permanent. Because of his enthusiasm for the School he vi as elected to the Board of Trustees a decade ago.Throughout all his years of connection with the .Academy he has shown a remarkable enthusiasm, and has been influential in making it a success. We feel that Mr. Phillips has done more for the School, and has given his sup- port with more enthusiasm than any other man not actually engaged in work at the Academy. The boys know him, and the faculty know him not only as a frequent visitor or a speaker at meetings, or since 1933, as the President of the Board of Trustees, but also as a host, and always as an enthusiastic and valuable supporter. We all appreciate his generous support, his enthusiasm, and his ever increasing ac- tivity in school projects. '

'R A--'lg' Ciiioiaoe XY. Aoexxis Nlr. Adams is among the distinguished alumni of the Academy. He has been a friend and neighbor all his life, and attended the School in Moo. Eighty years of age, and one of the oldest graduates, he is a cultured gentleman, acquainted with the classic languages Greek, Hebrew, and l,atin. He is also a naturalist, an antiquarian, a craftsman, and a philosopher. Among his relatives were the poets Whittier and Longfellow. Seventy-tive of his family have attended the Academy, two being head- masters, and two trustees. ' His house, The Highlieldsf' was the home of a school founded previous to 1760, and the direct forerunner of the present Academy. It was built in the late ijth Century and is a good example of early Colonial architecture. His estate is a farm, the ancestral home of his family. A good example of his classical training is his push- cart, appropriately named Sysyphusn for the Greek mythological toiler. Today Mr. Adams is almost a tradition at the Academy. For years he has kept the Academy bees, and attends all Yesper Services. He is the friend of all the boys and masters. We appreciate his kindness to the school, we admire his culture, and we en-ioy his friendship. ly
