Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings of the School Committee of the City of Boston, 1896
Ladies and gentlemen OF the boston school board: I thank you most heartily for_the great honor that you have paid me in selecting me to preside over your deliberations during. The coming year, and I trust that I shall not prove unworthy Of the confidence reposed in me. I consider it a great honor to be a member of the Boston School Board, but I esteem it an especial honor to be -held worthy to serve as its President.
For whatever of personal vindication there may be in this selec tion, I should, indeed, be. Ungrateful did I not here express my personal gratitude to my loyal friends, who, through good report and evil report, engendered by the bitterness of a political election, have yet thought me worthy to preside over your deliberations and to succeed the many honorable men who have filled this position.
