V Sli , Eli ' 2'3 'X A It was out of the dream of a sturdy pioneer that Milton College arose. liarly in the spring of 1839, joseph Goodrich, a descendant of the New England Puritans, with his family and others emigrated from New York to Prairie du Lac. where Milton now is. Here he laid out a large public square and distri- buted lots to those who would build upon them. But, as the little settlement grew, the rare vision of joseph Goodrich saw clearly the necessity of an educa- tion for the young people of the vicinity further than that of the district school. lt was he who gave the ground for the Hrst building: it was he who paid the cost of the structure tabout three hundred dollarsj. and for a number of years he was the sole supporter of the school. The history of Milton College falls into four periods. that of the private school, 1844-18483 that of the Academy, 1848-18543 from 1854-1867, that of the academy which pre- pared students for - teaching: and from 1867 to the present time, that of the col- lege. The building' in which the school be- gan its existence in 1844 was situated on the west side of the public park. It was a one-story gravel structure on the front of which was painted in huge letters Mil- ton Academyf' Al- though the school was of modest preten- sions, during' the first year it had an attend- ance of sixty students. It was in 1848 that the charter for the founding of Milton Academy was ob- tained from the legis- lature of lVisconsin. In the next few years Milton Academy 1844 the school progressed BEER! SE WER!!
