The N. S. -N. 5. Nichols, 1875-79; Prof. S. R. Thompson, 1.87(1-77; Dr. Robert Carry, 1877-83; Dr. Geo. I.. Farnham, 1883-93; Prof. A. W. Norton, 1893-98; Dr. J. A. Beattie, 1899-00; Dr. V. A. Clark, 1900 --. To the faithful work and wise administrations of these able leaders and their assistant teachers, together with class after class of earnest, sympathetic students, saying by their presence with us and by their work while here—“We are here to help and to be helped”—to those, I say, has the success of the school been due. We wish to mention particularly three persons who for years were connected with the State Normal; one as president of the board, one as member of the board, and one as preceptress, three who will be held in loving memory by hundreds now widely scattered throughout our own and other states. We refer to Dr. Geo. L. Farnham, Hon. B. E. B. Kennedy and Miss Eliza C. Morgan. Dr. Farnham, who passed away at Binghamton, N.

He was a psychologist of more than ordinary merit. In fact his “keen perception, broad experience and profound erudition place him among educators of the first rank. Ilis personal interest in the students resulted in the filial affection entertained for him by them—none knew him but to honor and to love him. Ilis was a period of genuine prosperity for the school. During those ten years the Library Building, the Observatory, a large addition to the Main Hall and the Engine House were built, the electric light plant obtained and many of the beautiful trees which now adorn our Campus planted. We are confident that lion. B. E. B. Kennedy, who for more than a quarter of a century was president of the Board of Education, little knows how we miss his visits, else he would surely come again to cheer to encourage, to admonish and to make better for his presence. That he still watches our work with loving interest, still rejoices in our success, and sorrows when failure finds us, we feel assured. For twenty-six
