Book Description
Excerpt from Thetford Academy, Thetford, Vermont: Seventy-Fifth Anniversary and Reunion, Thursday, June 28, 1894 It is natural that both those who were present at the Thetford Academy seventy-fifth anniversary and those who were not, should desire what is reported as nearly as possible as it occurred - a plain, unvarnished tale - therefore the day's proceedings are given in their order. The first price named for the pamphlet would not, on the orders given, cover the cost of printing, and would not warrant the publication. The price now named will barely do this, postage to be added. Fortunately the lowest prices have been secured for engraving and printing of illustration and text. There has been no fund to draw upon. All the work of preparing for the anniversary and that of preparing the record has been performed without compensation. The extended correspondence by different ones has been no little expense. The reward must be the pleasure afforded those interested, and the aid which it is hoped may accrue to the renewal of interest in the Academy and its enlargement for the future. The fullness of "Notes of Doings" varies with the data furnished either by the persons themselves or by some friendly acquaintance, always remembering that the whole has been subject to severe reduction on account of the limited space allowed. The illustrations may be said to be an afterthought. One and another expressed a desire for Dr. Orcutt's picture, those wanted Mr. Hood's, and then others were asked for, when, after consideration, it was decided to start a Thetford gallery and include all whose pictures would be furnished and the printing paid for either by themselves or their friends. This entailed delay and a great amount of correspondence. No one can regret so much as the editor that dozens and dozens of others addressed by him, have not responded favorably, or that space and expense have so limited the notes attempted.
