gradua~~ a! Union College, ~che~ectadY,
N. Y."ind at first took upeng1neenng as a
profes~ion, -and'was one ~ the corps of en~eer& enga:ged in con~tructing the first
railroad in the state of Georgia. 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-

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, afterwards Di~t.rict Attorney of
Crawford County, fa1Uedth~h for his ornate
'penmanship and his ability to out-jump all
of his fellow students; David ~roudfit,
William Leach, J. Milton Tay!or, who
volunteeTed in the war of the rebellion and
was killed at the battle of Gettysburg, a
brother of Dr. Newton 1'aylor; Job Paylor,

1866 I. was a clerk ,in the House of. Representat1ves, U. S., and met them qu1te frequently); Mary MacMaster of Poland, Ohio,
Florilla McClaughry whose flashing black
eyes made a deep impression upon the heart
of her susceptible German teacher (she and
William Pitt Clough constituted a class to
.Which I gave instruction in German);
Louisa Reeder, who afterwards marrried the
,superintendent of common schools for Crawford county heretofore mentioned"her ~sters
Sally and Fanny, Carrie Cutler, Anna Haggerty, who afterwards married Hott. 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

THE EDINBORO
LIBRARY BULLETIN BOARD.

The bulletin board co;i1tinues to be an
important feature of the ffbrary. Studeiits
have be~ome habituated to its use, and appreciate its purpose. Every week has its
surprises. Now some startling invention or
discovery is noted; then some wonderful
achievement in science or the arts; now a
political or international crisis holds the attention, then the consequent adjustment
and chan~s are eagerly read. Such is the
progress: il-10ng all lines, that only ~rief
mention can be made of truly important
articles found in our periodicals, selecting
those which seem particularly suited to our
students for more detailed account, and treating only short items and matters of extreme
importance in full.
In this issue of the DIAL we have space
to note only that which appeared on the
bulletin the past week:Blackboard.

solving the difficulties of the Latin paradigms and if they continue to make the same
progress, many of them will be ready
