FQEEEEQEQEHEQEQQWHFAWEQQ The SHAD nineteen twentyfeight Glllfnirp Clfirtsaie, HAVE before me asI write, not the first, but one of the first notices put out by Bishop Seabury University, relating to the Primary School. The date is November 10, 185 8. In part this notice readsg The winter term of this Institution opens on Monday, the 9th day of November, at the School House on the Public Square. Pupils of both sexes will be received and classified according to their res' pective attainments. ..... Five capable teachers are employed to give instruction, and the recitations are made in private rooms, while the general study room, 50 by 21 ft., is a room of entire silence. In the latter monitors aid the teachers in pref serving order and attention to study. Sixtyffour pupils, boys and girls of all ages, attended the autumn term in 185 8. From this humble beginning, sponsored by men of vision and faith, in the days when Faribault was only thirty years old and the Indians were still in evidence, have sprung Shattuck, St. Mary's, St. James and Seabury. The years went on. The school grew, and in 1866 we find it occupying a dorf mitory in Seabury Hall, with the promise that 'lin the coming year, a stone building, 40 by 70 feet, will be erected on the same grounds, for the exclusive use of the Grammar School. The school continued to grow. Seabury moved from the Shattuck Campus to its present location, leaving Shattuck in sole possession of the Hill. Each year saw something added here, something there, Not always a build' ing, but always some sign of progress in the physical equipment of the school. A year has just passed. What sign of progress in the physical equipment can we observe? We see two, and fiittingly enough, each is the complement of the other. East of Shumway Avenue, the beautiful green of a sporty 3600fyard golf course is coming into view, affording more ample facilities for caring for the animal within us. South of Whipple Hall, on a spot which tradition says saw many an Indian war dance, reconstruction work is being pushed on the Memorial Chapel of the Good Shepherd, erected for Shattuck School In Memory of Eunice K. Shumwayf' This beautiful building, consecrated on September 24, 1872, was built according to plans furnished by Mr. Henry Congdon of New York. The material, from the ground to the roof, and even to the tip of the eightyffoot spire, is of native blue limestone. The interior fittings come chiefly from Minnesota. The tiles formf ing the center aisle and the floor of the sanctuary are from England, as are also all the stained glass windows. The elaborately carved font is of Carrara marble, and, is the work of Carmelo Fontano, Carrara, Italy. For tiftyffive years the Chapel stood practically as erected, but, in late years it was not always able to accommodate all who wished to pass its threshold. Addi- tional space was desiredg redecoration was necessary, but the Board of Trustees and Sf' S534 12 tim 'GQ
