Excerpt from The Oberlin Alumni Magazine, Vol. 8: April 1912When he was twelve years old there was established in Brown helm a classical school which he attended for two years. Then in 1832 James and his older brother Henry went to Elyria where for two years they attended the excellent high school conducted by Rev. John Monteith and his wife. The first teaching in Oberlin began in December, 1833, and within six months, in May, 1834, James and Henry Fairchild came to Oberlin to study. When the first freshman class for the college course was formed in October, 1834, they constituted half the class. They were prepared, Presi dent Fairchild afterwards stated, to enter with credit the freshman class of any college in the country. Their class which began with four students graduated twenty, and Oberlin had so rapidly grown that when they graduated in 1838 there were nearly four hundred students in the institution.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
