8 THE ORACLE, PROF. CHAPMAN, A. B., Pd. I). Professor George W. Chapman came to Watkins High School in September, 1899, from Union Hill, Monroe county, N. Y. He was viceprincipal of this school, and held that position until Jan. 1, 1901. Prof. Chapman is a graduate of Rochester University and the Albany Normal College, he having gained high honors at both institutions. His special branch of work is Ancient History and Languages and also Mathematics. While at college, in addition to his regular school work, Prof. Chapman read, by himself, two years of Greek, and later went on with the subject in class. This is an instance of the zeal and energy he put into all of his work. While teaching here he always had the next day’s lesson, in every class, thoroughly prepared beforehand and an outline for the term's work in each subject made out. The great interest that Professor Chapman took in his subjects, and his instructive way of conducting a recitation, interested every pupil and largely helped in attaining the high standings that his classes always did. He also took great interest in music, being leader of the High School Glee Club and a member of the Methodist church choir. While here Prof. Chapman made many friends, both in and out of school, who will always remember him, his industrious habits and many pleasing qualities. It was on account of the poor condition of his health that we were obliged to part with him as a teacher, the misfortune of which is only offset by the very fortunate circumstance of Prof. Buck’s being ready to take the place left vacant by his resignation. All the school rejoices with the editors of Thk Oracle in the fact that Prof. Chapman’s health is returning, and all join in the wish that he may continue to improve. J. C. A., ’01.
