Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the fact that there is a New England of cities, factories, and an increasingly diverse ethnic population, it is the Old New England that Americans have always treasured, finding in it a kind of 'national memory bank.' This book examines images of Old New England created between 1865 and 1945, demonstrating how these images encoded the values of age and tradition to a nation facing complex cultural issues during the period.

CHAPTER XXIV THE LURE OF THE GAME Fresh faces in the Gym appear. New knives cut other names; Fresh sinners carry on, I fear, Our very same old games. Athletics in Phillips Academy mean far more than the yearly struggles with Exeter. The good old doctrine of "sport for sport's sake" has always been part of the academic gospel, and boys are led to stretch their muscles for sheer delight in physical exercise. It has been the ambition of the school to arouse in the undergraduates a love for games, not so much for the victory which may be won--although it would be hypocrisy to pretend that success is undesirable--as for the pleasure of matching skill against skill, brawn against brawn. To this end there should be games of every sort, for the strong, for the agile, for the swift--even for the feeble and the clumsy. Schools, within the last half-century, have learned that the care of the body is an essential part of education. After the "stone shell of a building " on Chapel Avenue was given to Professor Stowe as a home, the "theologues" and the "cads" had a gymnasium in common in a large wooden structure in the rear of the Seminary, which was scantily equipped with apparatus. Samuel W. Abbot in 1853 received a ticket entitling him to the privileges of the "Phillips Gymnasium." In presenting this card to the school many years later, Dr. Abbot wrote: --To the daily use of this Gymnasium in 1853-54 I have been wont to attribute improved health while at Andover and years afterward in a constitution not naturally robust. On July 24, 1865, the Trustees, after the burning of the Stone Academy, resolved that, when the new Main Building was finished, the old "Brick Academy" should be fitted out as a gymnasium. Within a year they appropriated $1000 for...

Download or read book Old School written by Tobias Wolff and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2004-08-31 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The protagonist of Tobias Wolff’s shrewdly—and at times devastatingly—observed first novel is a boy at an elite prep school in 1960. He is an outsider who has learned to mimic the negligent manner of his more privileged classmates. Like many of them, he wants more than anything on earth to become a writer. But to do that he must first learn to tell the truth about himself. The agency of revelation is the school literary contest, whose winner will be awarded an audience with the most legendary writer of his time. As the fever of competition infects the boy and his classmates, fraying alliances, exposing weaknesses, Old School explores the ensuing deceptions and betrayals with an unblinking eye and a bottomless store of empathy. The result is further evidence that Wolff is an authentic American master.

Download or read book Early New England Schools (Classic Reprint) written by Walter Herbert Small and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early New England Schools The object of this book is not so much to furnish the author's opinions and conclusions, as to furnish the material from which the reader may form his own opinions and conclusions. With this in view, much is given directly from the old records, retaining the quaint phraseology and construction but modernizing the spelling for greater ease in reading. The order is that of the logical development of the schools through their various transition periods, with such excerpts from the laws as show the growth in legal power. The motive for the work lies in the following statement in Mr. George H. Martin's preface to his book, "The Evolution of the Massachusetts School System." He says, "This book is not a history..., for such a work the materials are ample and only await the approach of some one who has time and the inclination to use them." The curiosity aroused by that statement led to the first record, that to the second, until curiosity became a disease. However, this is not a history, but rather the materials out of which history may be made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Reading the Gravestones of Old New England written by John G.S. Hanson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The graveyards of old New England hold an incredible range of poetic messages in the epitaphs etched into the gravestones, each a profound expression of emotion, culture, religion, and literature. These epitaphs are old, but their themes are timeless: mourning and faith, grief and hope, loss, and memory. This book tells the story of a years-long walk among gravestones and shares insights gained along the way. It identifies the source texts and authors chosen for these stones; interprets something of the tastes and beliefs of the people who did the choosing; offers some hypotheses on the various ways these texts were accessible to readers in remote towns and villages; gives a brief summary of the religious context of the times; and reflects on how the language and literature chosen for these epitaphs express these peoples' conflicted and evolving attitudes towards life, death, and eternity.

Download or read book New England's Hidden Past written by Dan Landrigan and published by Down East Books. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New England is so compact that even casual visitors can sample its diverse history in just a short time. But travelers and residents alike can also pass right by historic buildings, landscapes, and iconic objects without noticing them. New England's Hidden Past presents the region’s history in an engaging new way: through 58 lists of historic places and things usually hidden in plain sight in all six New England states. Pay attention and you’ll find stone structures built by Indians, soaring churches financed by Franco-American millworkers, and public high schools started by colonists when New England was still a howling wilderness. You may have seen them, but you probably don’t know the story behind them. New England's Hidden Past takes readers to the grave sites of revolutionary heroines, Loyalist house museums, as well as, Revolutionary taverns and colonial inns. It takes them to Indian trails, the oldest houses, historic department stores, ghost towns, and Little Italys. Each unique, interesting location or object has a counterpart in the other five New England states. A perfect guide to keep in the car and refer to when traveling New England or planning a trip.
