From another list of those coming from out of town he noted the following: The Thurstons, Stockton, Bancroft, Hurd, Freemans, Fuller, Benedict, Peter Myers, Ducing and others. Among the young ladies mentioned were Miss Juliette McKean, the Misses Burbank, the Misses Comstock, Miss Westbrook, Miss Louisa Benedict, Miss Bancroft, Miss Lucinda Markham, and perhaps others.
Dr. Hollister next referred to the school exercises, referring first to the morning hour of prayer, before which the scriptures were read and each pupil was accustomed to recite from memory a single scripture text. He gave a graphic description of the inner working of the school, the blackboard exercises in mathematics, and the classes in the classics and
philosophy.
He dwelt especially upon the exercises of Wednesday afternoon, which was declamation and composition day.
