As I promised, I will give you some of my reminiscences, and as they are personal., you will excuse the frequent recurrence of the pronoun I. They will not form a continuous narrative but will be considerably detached, and consequently rambling. My father, James Thompson, was born in Ovid, N. Y., in February, 1814, was , ~ J 'C1 ' ..

Later he ~tJ'di~4Aaw and s~t~led in Ithaca, N. Y., where he married in",;t836, and commenced the practice of his pr6fession. His income was very small, and the principal of the Ithaca Academy having died suddenly he was glad to accept the position thus vacate which ha,d , a comfortable salary attached it. In '1847, he accepted a call to the rofessorship of Mathematics of the stern University of Pennsylvania, at E' tsburg. Within two years the Urtiver~as burned down an~ he started a Y ou~ Ladies' Seminary, w~~~~wa;'fds named Somer~lnstitute, aft~/the distinguished astronomer, Mr~Mary Somerville. In 1858 he -remov..-edto Wilmington, Del., from which place he had married his second wife, in 1851, and for a time conducted a private school there. The following year, 1859, he conducted a private school at New Haven, Conn. In 1860, through the influence of Hon," Thomas ,H~.,Burrows, then Superintend~nt;{)£C9mmo~ Schools,' he was elected prip.eipi;tl pf the;State Normal School of Edinboro. He served in that position until the end _o.fJune,1863, and was succeededby Prof,'j: A. Cooper, who had come to the school, as one of the faculty, in 1862. The remaining years of his life were spent in educational and clerical work in various places, and'gedied at my house in Brooklyn, N. Y., ,in September, 1887. Wheil he was selected as the principal of the Normal School in 1860, I was a pupil teacher in the academy at WestChester, Pa. I was 17 years of age on the 10thof-september of tl1at year and was chosen professor of Mathemati~ in the Normal School. I well remember my trip from WestChester to Edinboro;~y rail to Erie and from Erie to Edinporo, by an old fashio~ed stage coach, built after the English pattern, which plied between Edinboro and Meadville. If I recollect aright the "Atlantic and Great AL mAL. We ternRailwaY"withastationat?ambridge wa only constructed a year orutwo later. Ed nboro was then about eighteen miles fro a Failway north or south, the nearest st tion being Erie and Meadville. There h d been a plank road between Erie and inboro, .but when I made that trip the lanks seemedto be about four feet'~:apart and the rest of the road mud holes. You c~nfancy the feelings of the unsophisticated youth from the civilization of the East. The school buildings were four .. in number, the men's and women'-sdorm1tor1es,the Model and the Normal school, all frame buildings. The dining room was in the men's dormitory which was nearest to the school buildi~g. The first school year the faculty cons1sted of my father, O. W. Woodward, my sister Elizabeth and myself. Emily Dyer, the dau~hter of the Rev. Heman Dyer, of New York City, W3S afterward one of the faculty. The name of the principal of the Model School was, I think, Mosier. Prof. Woodward went to the war during that year and was afterward a member of the lower house in the Pennsylvania legislature, elected from one of the interior counties. He ,was succeeded by J. A. Cooper, afterwards principal of the school. Prof. Woodward had been the teacher of vocal music, which position fell to me after his departure. The class in vocal music met every morning at 8 o'clock in the chapel and practised until 9, when school opened with prayer, Bible reading and the singing of a hymn or a spiritual song. The instru~..in/~;J1iUsW:was.hy th-e sol fa (do re mi) sy~tem. Of course in the chapel services.1 was the leader in the singing. On one occasion we had a visit from the S'1I'po~-ent,!'lJf!~~{)n..£chools of Crawford county, whose name I have forgotten, but I well remember what happened on that morning. The presence of the distinguished visitor Jlustered the yo.uthful leader of the choral band and after sounding the pitch pipe, instead of singing the words of the hymn, he,started off do, do, do, do in a sonorous bass solo, which was finally ex- 'f""V '" ~?f.~7!}!~;\\, ! , ' (" ., .THE EDINBORO tinguish~d by the' l.au:ght~r_ofa~l assem~led, Durmg our SOjOUFn1\1Edmboro I was the:j~itor ,beHri.ng~r a~;g~ne~al caretaker of th~ school bulldmg, wh1ch mcludedthe sweeping and building of fires. I don't remember who ,did the scrubbing and window cleaning, but I did not. Mrs. Hardy, who came with her husband and family froltl Pittsburg, was the matron. She received one dollar and twenty-five cents per week from .each of the pupils who boarded with her, b4tf!some of the pupils'who desired to save even this small expense, were allowed to cook their meals in their rooms.. The school building was heated ~y stoves in each room, the fuel was wood, and I had plenty of exercise in the winter time getting the fires going in the morning and keeping them going during the day. Among the pupils whose names I remember, were William W. Sergeant, now residing in Brooklyn, N. Y:..; George Allen, now a lawyer practising in Erie and formerly United States District Attorney for the Westel1n District of ,'Pennsylvania, ,appointed by President Cleveland; I.

Newton McCloskey, Keziah Trivett, and Evelyn Plummer" who came to Edinboro from the east and afterwards spent some years in Paris, France, later taught in the Freedmen's schools in Georgia and is now teaching in a Friends' (or Quaker) school in Phlladelphia. Miss Plummer was a fine scholar and poetess. I was younger than,any of the students' in th~ school and, though a professor was a boy with the test of the boys a.nd girls. Mischievous Carrie Cutler and Anna Haggerty threw me down one winter, aftersc;hool, in a snow b-a.-nk and washed my face for me. When I commenced my duties my father ,assigned'to me classes in Arithmetic, the higher mathematics., Latin and Greek, and I also taught the class in penmanship. The first year'my voice, had not settled; I had two tones to it like Orator Puff. Under my instruction was a class of twenty-eight in arithmetic, (Carrie Cutler was'one of them) and I can l1ev~r forget her peals of laughter when., sometimes, asI was delivering a lectute in my deepest tones, my voice would suddehly leap to a shrill soprano.! At first, at the beg-inning of the school1 term when assigning classes to the different teachers, my father did not seem to know exactly how to designate me, as there were two Professors Thompson, but Evelyn Plummer solved the difficulty for him after her arrival and thereafter the announcement was formally made from the platform that --1 I ~ I I ~ ~ I i ~--;' I 4 ~ THE EDINBORO class .s~ and so' 'would' meet in Professor Dann1es room.
