Of the original patrons and first trustees of this insti- tution, three yet survive after the lapse of half a century ^ James Foster, Daniel Kissam, and Eliphalet Wicbxs* They are still spared to prove to us, and to those who are to follow us, how much of good can be accomplished by well directed efforts, aided by honest zeal and true devotion, and under the strong incentives of patriotism and public duty. When this work was commenced no step of any kind had been taken by our State authorities ...in favor of public instruction. The first Act of our Le- gislature in relation to the subject, having passed in 1795. Nor was there anything like a regular system adopted until ten years afterwards. The friends therefore of this academy may well be considered as pioneers in the great work of public education. It is indeed a pleasing and a grateful task to recur to the zealous efforts of our forefathers in so worthy a cause, and to pay the well earned tribute of veneration and thanks to the forecast and patriotism, to the watchful care ^nd untiring perse- verance of those who, fifty years ago, in the very infancy of our Republic, manifested their sense of the import- ance of education by directing their personal exertions, and freely applying their means to erect and endow these Halls.
