It therefore seems fitting at this time to remember her to Whom We owe the school and all th t 't h -' a 1 as meant to us, and to review the progress Hotchkiss has made since its foundation. The Hotchkiss of higher education required more and better secondary schools. lt owes its foundation to the muniflcence of Mrs. Maria H Hotchkiss a native of Qfilisl ' 1 ' L: -T Dllrxv, Connecticut, who besides providing S200,000 for the buildings and surrounding land, endowed the school with an educational fund f S200 0 1 School was the outgrowth of the conviction that the interests o 1 , 01. Founded in 1891, it was opened for instruction October 19, 1892. Mr. Edward G. Coy, who came to us from Andover, was the Hrst Headmaster, and of the five masters who began Work with him twenty-five years ago, two, Dr. Buehler and Mr. Estill, are still members of the Facult . Som Hft f d Hrst year. Since its founding in 1891, the school has experienced a remarkable growth. The original buildings having proved inadequate to accommodate the largi- num- ber of applicants, the school was enlarged in 189-1 by the erection ol' Bissell I-lall and adjacent cottages, and again enlarged in 19015-08 and 1910. There is now a laeullv of twenty-two masters, headed by Dr. H. G. Buehler, who became Headmaster iii 1904 d , an a student body of about two h 'fired and sixtv bovs. But I-Iotelikiss is destined to become .-arger and better. ll1C present buildings have proven insul- fi ' t f R ' ' cien or our needs, and plans have been drawn and a model made lor a new Hotchkiss, which will accommodate more students and be adapted to expansion. The present buildings will be displaced bv a group of beautiful and eomnioflious dormitories, recitation halls, and cottages, all built in the Georgian style 4m!'111'4'l1l- tecture. y e 5 stu ents were enrolled at the beginning of the We wish the Hotchkiss ofthe future all success. But when the walls ul- the ol-1 Hotchkiss are torn down, we must not forget the old ideals and traditions, for these have been the foundation of whatever success we have won. The high Slllllllilffl ol' scholarship, an appreciation of the opportunities ol1'ered here for physical and moral. as well as mental development, the unity in the school life, the friendly and helpful relations between masters and boys, the earnest spirit ul' service in the student body. all these have made Hotchkiss what it is to-day, at the end of a quzn'ter-m-inurv of existence. May every future anniversary see only progress? 5
