This school early became a factor of importance in this city. Of 50 high a character was its work that in 1836 it was chart tered as a colIege, but the high school department was continued, and until 18H it was known as Woodward College and High School. In 1841 another story was added to the little building. In 1851, after the union with the Hughes Fund, the schooi became a part of the great public school system of our city.
