Like most institutions in the private sector of our educational system, Woodstock Academy cannot survive on tuition income alone; gifts by its alumni, parents and friends are necessary to permit capital improvements and supplement regular income to permit special educational projects and a competitive teacher salary program. To ensure survival of our old and distinguished academy, the Board of Trustees has created an office of Alumni Affairs which will be responsible for alumni records, bulletins and alumni and parent support. Woodstock Academy now joins other fine schools in benefiting from established philanthropic giving by its sons and daughters.

This announcement in the Gleaner will be followed by a personal appeal to the alumni and friends of the Academy for annual gifts. No gift will be too large or too small to help. In the new year the Trustees will also initiate a Bequest Program to encourage remembering the Academy in estate plans. You are urged to consider the future of our school and give it generous support; your continued help will insure its future.

Mrs. George White ('51) has been employed by the Trustees to man­ age the Alumni Office. A committee of the Board will direct the program. The Gleaner is now an annual publication, one that makes us all proud. It too helps to keep our Woodstock Academy Family informed and together.

Most people call it "The Pink House," which is a somewhat unimaginative title in view of its color. Its real name is equally unimaginative­ "Roseland."

It stands on Woodstock Hill, large, many-ga­ bled, with astonishing pink circular chimneys marching across its precipitous roofs, its windows stained glass, its doorknobs make of blue and white china.

It is surrounded by wide lawns and a formal garden. The view of it is unobstructed from the street. Unsuspecting passing motorists generally react with a double take. Some stop their cars, mesmerized, and gape with wonder at the sight.

Roseland was built in 1845 by Henry Chand­ ler Bowen as his summer residence. It had four­ Dining room.

about thirty years after the house was built. The architect, Mr. Joseph Wells of New York, a prominent architect of the period, painted a watercolor sketch of how he wanted the house to look. It hangs in the front hall today. The house is unchanged. Mr. Bowen and his descend­ ents never permitted it to be altered in any basic detail. So it is still a bright pink with dark red trim and shutters of green- the primary colors of some roses, Mr. Bowen's favorite flower. One wonders why he ignored white and yellow roses. The color combination could really have been something!

While smoking his forbid­ den cigar in the garden, he heard the thunder of balls rolling down the alley. He looked in cur­ ious. The children coaxed him into throwing a ball. He made a strike. It was his first and last roll. To the disgust of the children, he said he could not do better and marched out.

Normally in summer there were ten to twelve family members residents and five or six servants in the wing. Six men worked on the gardens and the farm. When Mr. Bowen died, in 1896, the house went to his children, eventually to his sons Edward Augustus and Franklin Davis, and his daughter Mary, the wife of George C. Holt. They left it to Henry Chandler Holt, and it is now the property of his widow who lives at Chandler Farms in Pomfret. Double pm·loT with w·ched passageway topped by a gilded eagle.

A:> the British poet Love· lace says "Stone walls do not a prison make nor iron bars a cage."
