Excerpt from History of the Germantown Academy: Compiled From the Minutes of the Trustees From 1760-1877A classical division, giving preparation for the best colleges, and an English department, arranged for those who intended to finish their education at the academy, were organized.A Primary department, under the control of Mrs. William Kershaw, was begun, and such attention bestowed upon it that it has become one of the most prominent features of the school, it now having reached eighty-six in number and requiring the care of five teachers.The school year entered upon with so great promise was saddened by the death of Mr. Kimber, in January, entailing a loss which it would be difficult to overestimate. Mr. Kimber was educated at Haverford, Harvard and the University of Berlin, and was a man of large heart, rare abilities, and a fondness and capacity for teaching that only the barn teacher can possess. Though only in the school four months, his in¿uence over the boys was so great that he will ever be held in loving remembrance by all who came under his instruction. He originated the gymnasium, and the Athletic Association which has become such an important factor in the school.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
