This Academy has done much in sending out an educated 

 influence in domestic and social life, in waj's that cannot 

 be tangibly measured. It was in this school that Ann 

 Hasseltine and Harriet Atwood were educated. The first 

 was the youngest sister of the principal above named ; 

 she was brilliant and gifted, and married Rev. Adoniram 

 Judson, who was ordained at the Tabernacle Church in 

 Salem in 1812, and sailed with his wife immediately 

 afterwards to Calcutta. She was a remarkable w^oman, 

 passed through many trials and exciting experiences, and 

 wrote a history of the Burmah mission ; she died 

 at Burmah, Oct. 24, 1826. TJie second married Rev. 

 Samuel Newell, who was ordained as a missionary at 

 the same time with Rev. Mr. Judson, and v/ent to Cey- 

 lon. She died 30 Nov., 1812. 



Honorable mention might be made of other teachers 

 and other graduates, who have done good service in the 

 work which they have respectively undertaken. 



The present building, in the midst of ample grounds 

 beautifully laid out, is in striking contrast with the 

 huml)le wooden edifice, first erected for this now flour- 

 ishing institution. It measures 216 feet front line, 127 

 feet from front to rear ; four stories above the basement ; 

 built of brick with underpinnings and facings of granite. 

 The entire building is heated by steam, lighted by gas, 

 and has all the modern appointments. On Thursday, 

 June 16, 1870, a very pleasant meeting w^as held in Brad- 

 ford, the afternoon session being in the hall of this build- 

 ing, then recently erected and opened for the reception of 

 pupils.
