Gbarles Everett jfieb. HARLES EVERETT FISH, A. M., the sixth Principal of the Phillips Ex- eter Academy, was born in Barnstable, Mass.. in 1854. He secured his education only by his own exertions, displaying great energy and self sacrifice in maintaining himself at academy a11d college. He received his preparatory training at Andover, and going to Harvard College became a member of the class of 1878. He did not graduate with this class, but spent four years in teaching, and tinally took his degree with the class of 1880. His first Held of teaching was in Auburn, Maine, at the Edward Little Institute. During his stay at Auburn he was married. From there he went to Chicopee, Mass., occupying responsible public positions. When he resigned the principalship of the Chicopee High School, to open a private school at Worcester, on the invitation of leading citizens of the latter place, universal regret was expressed at Chicopee. A number of his pupils followed him to continue under his instruction. His Worcester school was distinctly a preparatory school for Harvard. From there he came to Exeter to accept the principalship. George 'HUJGPI ul1ClltV0Olftl'J. EORGE ALBERT WENTWORTH, A. M., was born at Wakefield, N. H., july 3, 1835. His elementary education was acquired in a district school of his native place and later he attended the Wakefield Academy for about one year. In 1852 he entered the Phillips Exeter Academy. In 1855 he left the Academy and was admitted to the Sophomore class in Harvard University. Mr. Wentwortl1 was graduated from the University with honors in 1858. Three months before graduation he was elected Instructor in An- cient Languages in Phillips Exeter Academy. After one year's work in this capacity he was chosen Professor of Mathematics,a position which he still holds. During the interims between Dr. Perkins' resignation and Dr. Scott's election, and between Dr. Scott's resignation and Professor Fish's election, Professor Wentworth Hlled the office of Chairman of the Faculty. As an author of mathematical text books, Professor Wentworth is perhaps best known throughout the country. Professor Wentworth is at present the oldest member of our honorable faculty, and has been longer connected with the Academy than anyone since its foundation, except Drs. Abbot and Soule. II
