Bainbridge Academy Commencement Exercises
Bainbridge Republican, July 12, 1877
The close of the fourth academic year of this institution was marked by the annual examination of students on the 20th, 21st and 22nd ult. and the anniversary or commencement exercises, which occurred on the 27th, 28th and 29th. The large attendance on each evening of the latter occasion and the unusual number of visitors during the examination, indicates a growing interest in the school truly gratifying to the friends of education, and which cannot but exert an inspiring influence with both teacher and scholar.
Among the many and more prominent studies reviewed by the faculty were classes in French, Latin, Geometry and Chemistry. The examination was thorough and general in its nature, and the readiness and correctness with which each student responded or preformed the task assigned was ample evidence that the academic year just bro't to a close had been well and profitably spent. All who witnessed these exercises could not but feel that the influence of our Academy on the rising generation, who must sooner or later take upon themselves the responsibilities of filling our public places and moulding the moral, social and intellectual features of society, will be for the better; that our school, with its scores of diligent workers and thinkers, is really the great industry of this community, and that the money necessary for its maintenance is worthily bestowed and should be cheerfully contributed.
The first evening of the anniversary exercises was set apart for the Primary and Intermediate Department. It was our intention to notice only a few of the more prominent or deserving who took part; but where all did so well such distinction seems invidious and we have concluded, after more mature consideration, to present the programme in full.
