During anniversary week,in 1863, John A. Andrews, Governor of Massachusetts, was present at the reading of 'compositions. One of' these, read by a member of the graduating class, was an earnest, impressive plea for a gymnasium. When she had finished, Governor Andrews started a subscription, heading it with his own name, and before night nineteen hundred dollars had been subscribed. Later, three of the trustees gave generous contributions and the first gymnasium was completed in 1865.
