Closing his references to school exercises, the speaker next referred to the Romeo lyceum as closely related to the academy, and asked Mr. Dyar if he remembered how he used to officiate as reader of communications in that august assemblage, to which Mr. Dyar, who was present, replied that he not only remembered the fact, but had some of the identical arti-cles still preserved.
Reference was then made, in a most feeling manner, to the great revival in the spring of 1838, and to the great number of persons coming under its influence, citing the names of many who dated their conversion to that time, and who now, though widely scattered, still gave evidence of the genuineness of that work.
The Doctor then spoke of the ladies' school of Miss Martha Makepeace, later Mrs. E. W. Giddings, referring to the beautiful culture of the
lady, and of the loving remembrances that are to-day still cherished by her pupils.
