LICONARID ll. l5Ul.KEl.lCY. who died in l849. left by will a fund of about 2'p25,000, for the founding of a free school for the boys of New London, to be known as Hliulkeley School. with the provision that the fund should he kept invested until a m5uch larger amount should he avail- able. The original endowment has been increased hy several generous gifts and legacies, viz: From the estate of Mr. Asa Otis, 310.0001 from the estate of Mr. Henry P. Haven, 35,0005 and from the Hon. George F. Tinker, upwards of Sll.000 for the construction and furnishing of an extensive addition to the building. The original Trustees named in the will of Mr. liulkeley. live citizens of New London who secured the charter for the school in 1850. under the cor- porate style. Trustees of Rulkeleyf' were: lllessrs, Nathan Belcher, XVil- liam C. Crump, john l'. C. Mather, llenry P. Haven, and N. Shaw Perkins. Of these Trustees. four served the school until death, the fifth, Mr. Nathan Belcher, resigned in 1884, after a trusteeship of thirtyffive years. During the school year l90-1 l905, the Trustees made some radical changes in the corporation management and in the course of instruction. Application was made to the General Assembly at its january session. l905. for authority to amend the charter of the corporation. The amendment was duly authorized by the legislature and was adopted November l7, 1905 by vote of the Trustees. This amendment provides for a hoard of seven instead of live Trustees. It also provides that one of the additional Trustees shall he the Chairman of the Board of Education of the City of New London. ex-officio. and that the other shall be nominated by the alumni of the school and elected under such regulations as the corporation may adopt. The adoption of the change of the charter increasing the number of the corporators to seven made the Chairman of the Board of Education at once a member of the lioard of Trustees. During the month of june, l90o, cir- cular letters were addressed to the graduates. enclosing voting slips, inviting them to vote for, as alumnus of liulkeley School. a resident of New London. who has been graduated at least five years, as a nominee for Graduate Trus- tee of the corporation. This canvass resulted i11 the nomination of llflr. Sidney ll. Miner of the class of 1896, and this nomination was ratified hy vote of the Trustees, June l3th, l906. Mention should be made of a memorial that has heen placed on the facade of the school by the efforts and generosity of the Daughters of the .Xmerican Revolution. The bronze tahlet is a memorial to Captain Charles llulkeley. who served in the Revolution and the VVar of l3l2, and to Leonard Hallam liulkeley, founder of the school, father and son, and it is most fitting that this record of the patriotism of one and civic generosity of the other should be placed on the enduring granite walls of Bulkeley School.
