History Uf The Chicago Latin chnul The Chicago Latin School had its beginning when a group of Chicagoans in 1888, headed by Mr. and Mrs. VV. W. Blatch- ford felt the need for secondary education so acute, that they sent for Mabel Slade Vickery from the East. Miss Vickery started a group October 6, I888, which met in the Blatchford home at 375 LaSalle Avenue, here Miss Vickery prepared boys for the college entrance examinations and college work. In 1890 the school was moved to the residence of General and Mrs. A. C. McClurg at the corner of Lake Shore Drive and Scott Street, known as the Robert Lincoln house. When General and Mrs. McClurg built a new home at 125 Lake Shore Drive two years later, they devoted the third story to the classrooms of the school. It was then that Robert Peck Bates also from the East came to assist Miss Vickery. AN EARLY GROUP OF THE SCHOOL N. HENROTIN, D. CUSACK, D. W.ALL, R. SILSEEE, H. ARMSTRONG, MR.
