HISTORY

OF SAYRE SCHOOL

www^w^s^ww^^^^^^^^^wm A Centennial History of Sayre School

Sayre School has long been one of the outstanding in­ stitutions for the education of women in Kentucky, and owes its existence to the munificence of David A. Sayre, of Lexington, after whom it is named. Mr. Sayre had come to this city from New Jersey in 1811, when quite a young man as an apprenticed silversmith. From absolute pov­ erty he had, by thrift and economy, become a banker as early as 1829, and subsequently amassed a large fortune, a considerable portion of which was devoted to the use of public institutions connected with the Presbyterian Church, of which he was a member. He became interested in edu­ cational matters and determined to establish a first-class school for girls, whose benefits should be as widely dis­ tributed as possible. Mr. Sayre purchased a large lot and two-story brick building from George W. Sutton at the northwest corner of Mill and Church streets, which he dedicated to the cause of female education; and here on November 1st, 1854, the School was organized under the care of the Reverend Henry V. D. Nevius, pastor of the Walnut Hill Church and Prin­ cipal of the Walnut Hill Seminary, in Fayette County, six miles east of Lexington on the Richmond Road. The newly-organized School was called Transylvania Female Seminary, and students were received shortly after it opened its doors; the Reverend Nevius bringing with him some of his former pupils from the country school. On November 17th, a meeting was held in the ofiice of George B. Kinkead, Esq., and the following gentlemen: General Leslie Combs, Rev. R. G. Brank, Judge George B. Kinkead, Richard Pindell, David A. Sayre, Henry Bell, Judge George Robertson, J. C. Butler, Madison C. Johnson, Dr. Robert Peter, A. T. Skillman, M. T. Scott, Dr. J. M. Bush, Col. H. T. Duncan, Dr. E. L. Dudley, Hon. John C. Breckinridge, J. M. Ferguson, W. A. Dudley, Rev. Stephen Sayre School

Yerkes, Prof. S. M. Letcher and the Rev. John D. Matthews were constituted Trustees of the Transylvania Female Seminary. David A. Sayre was chosen Chairman of the board, and the Rev. Nevius and his wife were formally elected Principal and Assistant-Principal of the new School. Four days later, on November 21, 1854, The Kentucky Statesman announced the School's opening and terms of tuition:

"TRANSYLVANIA FEMALE SEMINARY This seminary is now open for the reception of pupils. The buildings in the most convenient part of the city have been purchased and fitted up, both Dwelling House and School Room, in the best style for Educa­ tional purposes, under an endowment of a citizen of Lexington. The trustees have appointed .the Rev. H. V. D. Nevius and Lady as Principals of the Seminary. It is under their special management, and they are the main in­ structors. Mr. Nevius has removed his school from Walnut Hill to Lexington because of the uncertainty of retaining permanent possession of the premises at that place. The object of this institution is to afford to Young Ladies a liberal and finished Education in all those branches of useful and elegant learning which con­ tribute to the accomplishment of the female sex. Competent assistant teachers will be employed as the number of pupils increases. Globes, maps, and apparatus for the illustration of the sciences will be furnished. Professor Klarenaar has full charge of the Musical Department. As an instructor he has given full satis­ faction. Mons. St. Mars gives lessons in French and Drawing. He is known in Lexington as a Superior Teacher and a Gentleman of intelligence and taste. Sayre School

Arrangements are made for the delivery of lectures by scientific gentlemen, to the pupils, and the Ladies of the city. About twenty boarders can be well accommodated.

The current broken session will terminate at the end of January. The next session will commence on February 1st. DAVID A. SAYRE, Chr'm Bd. Trustees"

Three weeks later, the Trustees resolved that the name of the School be changed to the Sayre Female Institute, in consequence of the fact, that the term "Transylvania" had been appropriated by another institution for female education in Lexington. The School continued to occupy the old Sutton residence, the former Bank of the United States, through the fall of 1854 and the spring of 1855, with a limited number of boarding pupils and a considerable enrollment of day scholars. Sensing the need for larger quarters for the growing girls' seminary, David A. Sayre purchased for fifteen thou- \ 'SIP?'

sand, nine hundred dollars, on September 27th, 1855, from Edward P. Johnson, the "stage-coach king" of Kentucky, his fine residence on the east side of Mulberry (Limestone) Street, in down-town Lexington. This property, facing Second Street and known as "Johnson's Grove," consisted of five acres of ground, two houses and a fine ante-bellum brick mansion, three stories high with cupola. Earlier in the city's history. Colonel George Nicholas, Revolutionary War Officer, had built his residence on this "out-lot No. 11," and subsequently it had passed to the ownership of Thomas Hart, Jr., brother-in-law of Henry Clay and a leading hemp manufacturer, who erected a hemp-house and rope- walk on the Walnut Street side of the lot. On October 1st, 1855, the Sayre Female Institute was removed to the Johnson Mansion on Limestone Street, after considerable repairs, additions and alterations had been made to suit the needs of the School. The faculty was composed of an efficient corps of teachers, and the opening attendance was large; the school had every pros­ pect of success. "An Act to Incorporate the Sayre Female Institute, in the City of Lexington," was passed by the Kentucky Leg­ islature, on March 10th, 1856, with some of Lexington's and Kentucky's most distinguished citizens among its in­ corporators, which included the Hon. John C. Breckinridge, Dr. Robert Peter, William A. Dudley, David A. Sayre, Richard Pindell, Judge George Robertson and Hon. Madi­ son C. Johnson. Under the charter, written by John C. Breckinridge, Sayre Female Institute had the power "of conferring diplomas, and doing all the usual acts of incor­ porated colleges," and gave to David Sayre the power to ap­ point the Trustees who were to be selected yearly, two- thirds of whom were to be members of the McChord, or Second Presbyterian Church in the city of Lexington. The school term for the year 1856 ended on June 30th, with nine graduates—the first class to graduate after the School opened: Misses Amelia Hale, Virginia E. Taylor, 6 Sayre School

Jane Bell, Margaret Letcher, Priscilla Clark, Virginia Ham­ ilton, Patty Poston, Margaret Goff and Caroline Simpson. Under its Constitution, adopted July 9th, 1856, the school year consisted of forty-two weeks, divided into two sessions of twenty-one weeks each. There were three de­ partments—Primary, Academic and Collegiate; the last two embracing three years. The classes in the Academical Department were styled respectively. First, Second and Third. Those in the Collegiate Department were Junior Middle and Senior. The Principal, who was elected on a year-to-year basis, was required to be a member of the Presbyterian Church. On July 16th, the Reverend Nevius was elected Prin­ cipal for the ensuing year; he in turn leasing the School, his salary to be $800 per year if the total tuition from student fees amounted to $3,000, and if not, then on an 8/30 basis. Professor Nevius was assisted by several well- qualified teachers, one of whom was Dr. H. W. Junius, a graduate of Leyden University, in Europe. During the spring of 1857, "a study and lecture room 30 by 50 feet" was built, "which was elegantly provided with new phil­ osophical apparatus, globes, books, maps and one of [Mil­ ton] Barlow's planetariums, a valuable aid and allurement to the study of astronomy." "This new building," com­ mented the Kentucky Statesman, "was on Friday [April 3rd] evening last opened with an address by Governor Morehead and other appropriate exercises. The whole cost of the buildings and improvements have been about forty thousand dollars." Professor Robert Peter, one of the board members, gave his usual course of lectures "with full ex­ periments in chemistry." For the school year 1857-1858, Professor Nevius' sal­ ary was fixed by the board at one-third of the gross receipts derived from tuition, but he was required "to teach free from charge four meritorious pupils," and "to keep the house and grounds in such repairs as it takes to properly merit the institution." His salary for the year amounted to a little over seven hundred and fifty dollars. -T————---•

The number of boarding pupils was limited to thirty- five, and were classed according to their age and attain­ ments, in three divisions—Primary, Academic and Col­ legiate. There were in all departments, one hundred and thirty-three undergraduates, primarily from Kentucky, with several from the Southern States and Missouri. The course of study in the Collegiate Department was divided into three classes — Junior, Middle and Senior, where such subjects as Algebra, Astronomy, Chemistry, Mental and Moral Philosophy, History, Geometry, Rhet­ oric, Trigonometry, Moral Science, English Literature, Latin (Cicero or Livy), Geology, Butler's Analogy, and Kames' Elements of Criticism were taught. Miss Anna Browning, of Lexington, was the valedictorian for the class of 1858, which held its exercises in the college chapel on the evening of June 25th, with six graduates; four from Lex­ ington, and one each from Clark and Bath counties. At the close of the June term, 1859, at which time three young ladies of the Bluegrass received their diplomas, the Reverend Nevius resigned the Principalship of Sayre Institute and moved to Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where he held the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church for eight years. Professor Samuel R. Williams, a native of Pennsyl­ vania and graduate of Jefferson College (later Washington & Jefferson), late head of the Presbyterian Female School, of Louisville, and a man of many years' teaching experi­ ence, was engaged to run the Sayre Female Institute, now 10 Sayre School a select girls' school and fast gaining a wide reputation for excellence of scholarship and discipline. Professor Wil­ liams, who assumed charge of the School for the opening of the September, 1859, term, was described "as a ripe scholar, eminent in some branches he taught and well read in all." Terms for the school year were announced through the columns of the Kentucky Statesman, August 16th, 1859:

"THE SAYRE FEMALE INSTITUTE Lexington, Ky.

Sayre School 11

The course of study, as advertised, "embraces all the branches of education usually taught in the best Female Seminaries," and limited the boarders to thirty-five pupils "who will be treated in all respects as members of the fam­ ily of the Principal." Miss Emnia Rittenhouse and Miss Anna Goodloe, with Professor M. R. Price were assistants to the Principal.

SAYRE FEMALE INSTITUTE IN 1866

During the scholastic year, 1860-1861, the following gentlemen composed the Board of Trustees: Madison C. Johnson, Rev. R. G. Brank, Isaac W. Scott, Ephraim D. Sayre, Richard Pindell, W. A. Dudley, George B. Kin­ kead, Hon. George Robertson, Henry C. Bell, Rev. J. D. Matthews, H. T. Duncan, Dr. Robert Peter, Hon. John C. Breckinridge, R. Higgins, Dr. S. Adams, Dr. E. L. Dudley, H. W. Reed and David A. Sayre, Chairman. On the 27th of July, 1860, a deed was made by David A. Sayre and his wife, Abby V. Sayre, conveying all the property of the Sayre Female Institute to the General 12 Sayre School

Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the United States. By the terms of this deed the Board of Trustees were to hold the School in trust and operate it "to afford to the citizens of Lexington and others, Female Education of the widest range and highest order at the lowest price, con­ sistent with that kind of education, and to furnish gratui­ tous instruction to as many meritorious pupils as its funds from time to time shall justify." All during the period of the Civil War, Sayre Female Institute continued to operate and never once closed its doors. Professor Williams selected for his teachers: John W. Tompkins, A.B., Miss Abby L. Culver, Miss Cornelia E. Parker ('63-'64), Miss Lucy M. Browning, Miss M. Aug­ usta Browning, Miss S. V. Lyle (1863-64), Miss Kate Webb, Miss Grace G. Hall, Mrs. Anna R. Des Cognets, Prof. Charles Schultze and Monsieur Eyraud, teacher of French and German Language and Literature. For the annual sessions from September, 1863, through June, 1865, there were in attendance: in 1863, 140 pupils; in 1864, 125 students, and in 1865 a total of 195 were registered. De­ spite the unsettled conditions of the times and the rav­ ages of the war, Sayre Institute managed to continue in operation, graduating eight young ladies in June, 1864, and six in June, 1865, the last year of the Civil War. No meet­ ings of the Trustees were held for eight years, except on April 18th, 1862, when it was reported that two of their members, Dr. Ethelbert L. Dudley had left for the Union Army, and John C. Breckinridge had cast his lot with the Confederacy, becoming Major-General under the Stars and Bars, and later Secretary of War. John Carty and Hiram Shaw, Sr., were elected to fill their places. Receipts from tuition for the years 1859 through July, 1867, amounted to $30,845.75, of which Professor WiUiams' salary was $9,789.69. During the next year his salary was fifty percent of the total gross receipts derived from tui­ tion. On June 16th, 1869, at a called meeting of the board, it was recorded that "Principal Samuel R. Williams died PRINCIPALS OF SAYRE SCHOOL Henry V. D. Nevius, 1854-1859 Samuel R. Williams, 1859-1869 James Dinwiddle, 1869-1870 Henry B. McClellan, 1870-1904 14 Sayre School on June 13th, 1869, at 5 o'clock A.M.," in his fifty-sixth year. Following the death of Professor Williams, who had served as Principal of Sayre Female Institute for ten years, from 1859 to 1869, the Board of Trustees elected Mr. James Dinwiddle, of Virginia, to head the School for the ensuing year; his appointment being effective August 14th, 1869. He was a graduate of Hampden-Sydney College and the University of Virginia and had served as a Captain in the Confederate Army. For several years before coming to Lexington, Professor Dinwiddle held the chair of mathe­ matics at Southwestern University, at Clarksville, Tenn­ essee. He was a brother of the Reverend William Dinwid­ dle, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Lexington. During his Presidency of the School, "An Act to Amend the Charter of the Sayre Female Institute" was passed by the Kentucky Legislature on February 16th, 1870, which provided that "all vacancies on the Board of Trustees shall be filled by the Board of Trustees; two-thirds of the Trustees shall be and continue to be citizens and residents of Fayette County, Ky., and members of some Presbyterian Church in said county." New Trustees, elected to replace some of the older ones, included: Thomas Mitchell, Regent John Bowman (A. & M. College), Squire Bassett, General John C. Breck­ inridge, Rev. T. P. Dudley, General Samuel Woodson Price, General William Preston, J. W. Cochran, J. J. Mil­ ler, and William C. P. Breckinridge. At the close of the next school term. Professor Dinwiddle resigned, on June 14th, 1870, to accept the chair of mathematics at South­ western University, in Clarksville, Tennessee, where he re­ mained for seven years; later filling the same position at the University of Tennessee. On June 14th, 1870, one of the most successful Prin­ cipals in the history of the School came into office in the person of Major Henry B. McClellan, who had come to Lexington in the fall of 1869 with Professor Dinwiddle, and who had been his assistant and "Professor of Music" Sayre School 15 for the 1869-1870 school term. He held the position of Principal and guided the destinies of the School for nearly three decades and half, from 1870 to 1904. Under his able management the standards and scholarship were raised and his well-chosen staff of teachers, together with his own prestige as a scholar and educator soon attracted a large patronage and gained the confidence of the people of Kentucky and the Southern States. President McClellan was engaged to run the School "for four-fifths of the fees actually received from the scholars in the regular course of study; one-fifth to be paid the Trustees for repairs and improvements." Major McClellan, a native of Pennsylvania, was grad­ uated with honors from Williams College, in Massachusetts, in the class of 1858, and was teaching school in Cumber­ land County, Virginia at the outbreak of the Civil War, when he enlisted as a private in Company B, of the Third Virginia Cavalry. On May 2nd, 1862, he was made First Lieutenant and Adjutant of his regiment in General Fitz- hugh Lee's brigade. During the battle of Chancellorsville he was promoted to the rank of Major and Assistant Adju­ tant-General, in which capacity he served until the close of the war as Chief of Staff of the cavalry corps of the Army of Northern Virginia, under Generals J. E. B. ("Jeb") Stuart and Wade Hampton. After the death of General Stuart, he served by temporary appointment on the personal staff of General Robert E. Lee, Commander- in-Chief of the Confederate Army. In the year that Major McClellan assumed the leader­ ship of the Sayre Female Institute, occurred the death (September 11th, 1870) of David A. Sayre, who had care­ fully watched over the interests of the institution since its inception. Mr. Sayre had, in addition to giving the School and five acres of ground in perpetuity to the Trustees of the Presbyterian Church, added other gifts during his life­ time, making his total donations upwards of $100,000, and furnishing the School an equipment which was one of the best in the South. He had been the sole founder and its only 16 Sayre School benefactor up to the time of his death. In the latter part of 1870, his nephew, Ephraim D. Sayre, expended about $3,000 in improving the property, and his sister, Mrs. Pris­ cilla Cromey, who died in 1877, bequeathed to it $10,000, of which, however, it received only $5,000, owing to a con­ test over the will. Puring the first year of his Principalship, Professor McClellan named to the faculty Mrs. M. A. Ripperdan, Assistant-Principal and teacher of Wax Work and Em­ broidery; Miss E. D. Loudon, Primary Department; Mons. A. Joyeux, Professor of the French Language and Litera­ ture; Mr. Henry Schaeffer, Piano and Guitar and Madame Vittoria Bailina, Painting and Drawing. Tuition for board­ ers, "with fuel and lights" was raised to two hundred and forty dollars for the academic year, and weekly composi­ tions were required in the Collegiate Department. Other teachers were added in the next ten years: Mrs. Julia B. Ackley, English Literature and Physiology; Miss Kate Walsh, Mathematics and Moral Philosophy; Miss Ida C. Hodnett, English Composition; Miss Anna Didlake, Pri­ mary Department; Madame Isotta Oaksmith, Vocal Music and Mr. E. P. Scearce, Painting and Drawing. The attendance which had been sixty in 1868-1869, was eighty in 1870-1871, and one hundred and nineteen in 1872-1873. By this time the School had outgrown its original quarters and improvements of its buildings were necessary. This was done between 1872 and 1875, at a cost of $13,000, the chapel being enlarged and additional rooms for boarding pupils added. Sixty young ladies could now be accommodated in this select School in the Bluegrass Capital. Young boys were admitted to the Primary Depart­ ment, and the total enrollment for 1876-1877 amounted to one hundred and thirty-five young ladies in the Collegiate and Academic Department, with fifty-nine boys and girls in the Primary Department. In 1886-1887, about ten thousand dollars was ex­ pended in adding a new recitation room and furnishing improved heating apparatus and other modern appliances.

With the enlarged accommodations came a much larger enrollment. There was an average of two hundred and seventy-three pupils yearly between 1873 and 1893—-the most prosperous period of the School's history. The high water mark was reached in 1891, when the attendance dur­ ing the year closing June 20th, 1891, reached a total of three hundred and five students. During the period of Major McClellan's administration the history of Sayre Female Institute was one of substantial growth and im­ provement; in fact, he made it one of the most outstand­ ing schools for young ladies in Kentucky and in the South especially. In the decade before 1900, the faculty numbered, at various times, from ten to fourteen members, some of whom were: Miss C. C. Wilcox, Miss Laetitia Bullock, Miss Fanny Elliott, Mrs. H. E. Gilbert, Miss Lucy Gerrish, Miss Dora Gumpricht, Miss Mary Caldwell, Miss Florence Whiting, Miss Mary D. Sharpe, Misses Anna, Margaret and Georgia McClellan, Mile. Marie Le Veque, Signor S. D'Ana, Miss Luella Darnaby, Prof. Felix Heink, Miss Irma G. Port, Miss Mary V. Moore, Mile. A. Eggler, Miss Mar­ garet Stewart and Miss Ella M. Williams, daughter of Pro­ fessor Samuel R. Williams, the second Principal. At the turn of the twentieth century, having recov­ ered somewhat from the results of the financial panic of 1893 and the resulting "hard times" that followed, Professor McClellan gathered around him a new and enlarged faculty of twelve outstanding teachers and instituted a Department of Music, headed by Henry Saxton, and assisted by Herman Trost, both of whom were well-known musicians and band leaders. There was the Primary Department, Kindergar­ ten for both boys and girls; the Academic Department and the College Preparatory course. A high standard of scholar­ ship was maintained by Major McClellan and the School attracted young ladies from all over the South, with a pre­ dominance from Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. Major McClellan, an elder in the First Presbyterian Church since 1874, was one of the most widely-known edu- Sayre School 19 cators in the South and it was due largely to his influence that the Sayre Institute gained such prominence during the thirty-four years he headed the Lexington institution. He resigned as Principal of Sayre Institute at the close of the June, 1904 term, and died in this city on October first. With the retirement of Major McClellan, it marked the end of the School's first half century of history; four hundred and sixty-five young ladies from Kentucky and the South had received their diplomas, and Sayre Institute looked forward to a prosperous future. Dr. George J. Ram­ sey, a native of Virginia, graduate of Hampden-Sydney College and late President of King College, at Bristol, Tennessee, was called on May 31, 1904 to head the Sayre School in Lexington. Professor Ramsey had had a wide and varied experience as a teacher before coming to Lex­ ington; he had been Professor of Latin in Ogden College, Bowling Green, Kentucky, and President of Silliman Col­ legiate Institute, at Clinton, Louisiana. Dr. Ramsey headed the Sayre Female Institute for two years, from June, 1904, to June, 1906, when he resigned to accept a position as Professor of Education in Centre College, at Danville. Doctor Ramsey, the School's fifth Principal, was suc­ ceeded in the position by the Reverend James M. Spencer, a Presbyterian minister who became head of Sayre Institute on July 13th, 1906. Plans were made for the School's growth and expansion and a rather ambitious program was undertaken. The name of the School was changed (June, 1908) from the Sa3Te Female Institute to Sayre College, and at the same time the title Principal was discarded in favor of President, and Spencer became the first to serve in this capacity. During the fall of 1908, a handsome three- story brick building was built on the right of the center building, or the old Johnson Mansion, and this new dormi­ tory greatly added to the accommodations for boarding students and the teaching staff. Several new faculty members were added forlhe school term of 1908-1909, including Miss Louise Forwood, Latin and Botany, Dr. Clarence Trapp, Physical Science, Miss A GROUP OF SAYRE ALUMNAE —October, 1941 Left to right, standing—Mrs. William Rodes, Mrs. Lucy Wooten, Miss Margaret McClellan, Mrs. Sarah Bullock Moore, Miss Mary Shelby, Miss Lucy Shelby, Miss Lillian Headley.

Florence W. Whiting, Mathematics, Mile. Marie Le Veque, French and German, Miss Sarah Thruston, English Liter­ ature and History. By this time the work was fairly well organized and the School was raised to the status of a Junior College, with a full two-year course; the first grad­ uate being in the class of 1908. The High School curriculum was broadened and work in the Primary Department in­ cluded instruction from the Kindergarten through the eighth grade. Two literary societies, the Thalian and the Atheneum, as well as a French and German club, were listed among the student activities. On all public occasions, the boarding students were required to wear a uniform con­ sisting of "a navy-blue, tailor-made wool suit, a navy-blue silk waist and a black hat." This was worn, as the school catalogue explained, "for the sake of economy and to pre­ vent artificial distinctions." Other appointments were made to the school staff from time to time and at the opening of the fall session, September 13, 1911, the faculty consisted of Dr. J. M. Spencer, President; (Mrs.) Louise K. Spencer, Vice-Presi­ dent and teacher of the Bible; Miss Florence E. White, Mathematics; Miss Margaret McClellan, Latin and Eng­ lish; Miss Minna C. Whitting, Mathematics and Bible; Miss Anne Hugus, English; Miss Frances H. Spencer, Latin and German; Miss Helen Leighton, Natural Science; Mile. Marguerite Maradeis, French; Miss Mary S. Spencer, His­ tory and Spanish; Miss Margaret Kinnard, Intermediata; Miss Cora L. Greene, Primary Department and Miss Kath- erine Meng, Shorthand and Typewriting. The School of Music was headed by Miss Florence E. Latimer, ably as­ sisted by a corps of eight teachers. Much attention was paid to the instruction and courses in music, art and physical culture, and the name of the School became Sayre College & Conservatory of Music. The union of Miss Ella M. Williams' preparatory school (at 355 N. Broadway) in Lexington with Sayre College, which went into effect September 1st, 1914, added a large number to the student body and strengthened the teaching 22 Sayre School force. By mid-term the students numbered seventy in the High School, and one hundred and twenty in the Collegiate Department, representing fourteen states. Sayre College, which had in effect, since its incorpora­ tion in March, 1856, been under the jurisdiction of the Presbyterian Church, now officially came within the con­ trol of the Southern Presbyterian Church, effective De­ cember 4th, 1916, by a joint action of the Board of Trustees of the College and the Synod of Kentucky. It is gov­ erned by a self-perpetuating board of fifteen members, two- thirds of whom and the President of the College, must be members of some Presbyterian Church. President Spencer left Sayre College at the end of the term, June, 1917, and was stated supply for several churches in Kentucky during the years 1918 to 1920. He moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, where he died November 25th, 1921. Shortly after the LTnited States entered World War I, Doctor Lorin Stuckey, of Iowa City, Iowa, was chosen President of Sayre College and entered upon his duties April 12th, 1917. Thirteen teachers composed the faculty and there were one hundred and twenty students for the session; sixty-nine in the High School, three in the Junior College and forty-eight registered in the grammar school. On January 18th, 1918, President Stuckey resigned to be­ come Director of the War Camp Community Service, at Camp Merritt, New Jersey. Reverend Albert S. Venable, a Presbyterian minister of Millersburg, Kentucky, next served as President of Sayre College from 1918 to 1919; at the same time holding pas­ torates in Millersburg and elsewhere in Kentucky. Dr. Venable was followed by Mrs. Maude S. Barnett, a former teacher and Dean of the School, who headed the institu­ tion for one year, from 1919 to 1920. Her successor was Miss Margaret H. Hopper, of Stanford, Kentucky, who served as Principal from 1920 to 1923. During Miss Hop­ per's administration, in 1922, the Junior College was dis- PRINCIPALS OF SAYRE SCHOOL George J. Ramsey, 1904-1906 James M. Spencer, 1906-1917 John C. Hanley, 1925-1942 Kenneth E. St. Clair, 1942-1947 24 Sayre School continued and the School reverted to a High School status, with the name changed to Sayre School for Girls. As the School entered upon its sixty-ninth year, Miss Alice B. Caldwell, formerly head of the English Depart­ ment of Stonewall Jackson College, in Virginia, assumed the Principalship, serving for one year, from 1923 to 1924. She was in turn followed by one of the teachers, Mrs. P. K. Holmes, who headed the School from 1924 to 1925. The Board of Trustees, on February 12th, 1925, chose for the new President the Reverend John C. Hanley, a Presbyterian minister of Jackson, Kentucky, and graduate of Westminister College (Pennsylvania) and the Pitts­ burgh Theological Seminary. An able body of teachers was selected to assist Dr. Hanley and his wife, who acted as Vice-President, consisting of Miss Francis Ratliff, Mrs. P. K. Holmes, Mrs. Roy Batterton, Miss Carry B. McDan- iel, Miss Julia Vogt, Mrs. W. R. Snyder, Miss Nancy Evans, Miss Cora L. Greene, Mrs. Rosa Payne, Miss Chloe Gif- ford, Mrs. Mary Louise Stellar, Miss Daphne Hedden, Miss Sylvia W. Russell and Miss Virginia Boyd. Doctor Hanley was a very able man, one of broad views and understanding ability, and he did much to hold the School together during the deep depression of the late 1920's and early 1930's. Next to Major McClellan, Doctor Hanley served longer than any other President, his term extending from 1925 to 1942. Dr. Kenneth E. St. Clair, who had taught at Lees Junior College, Jackson, Kentucky, and at Pikeville Junior College, came to Sayre College and assumed the leadership for the fall term of 1942. The name of the historic institu­ tion, which had been co-educational for many years, was changed to Sayre School, by which it has since been known. During the fall of 1944, Sayre School and the Hamilton Grammar School of this city were consolidated and oper­ ated as a single department at Sayre School on North Lime­ stone Street. This merger greatly strengthened the Sayre Grammar School which was directed by Mrs. Henry L. Lloyd and Miss Lela Yancey, under the supervision of Sayre School 25

President St. Clair. Other teachers on the Sayre School staff for the years 1946-1947 were Miss Sarah H. T. Doug­ las, Dr. Louise Frey, Miss Naomi H. Cheek, Miss Patty Reese Petty, Miss Marguerite Russell, Miss Meta L. Big- gar, Miss Mary Elizabeth Collier, Miss Lois C. Kaufman, Miss Lucille C. Little, Miss Margaret McBryde and Miss Josephine H. Tipson. In June, 1947, the High School was discontinued, as was the boarding of pupils, and the dormitory was leased to the University of Kentucky for a girls' residence hall. Dr. St. Clair resigned his position in June, 1947, to become head of the history department at Indiana Central Col­ lege, Indianapolis, Indiana. With the closing of the High School and the institu­ tion no longer taking in boarding students, together with a noticeable falling off in enrollment in the lower grades, the future of Sayre School seemed dark and uncertain. Having no endowment and being solely dependent upon tuition fees, the School faced a grave situation; in fact, it was doubtful whether it could continue in business. To alleviate this acute financial situation and to produce in­ come for school purposes, a test suit was brought in the Fayette Circuit Court by the Trustees on December 17th, 1947, for a declaration of rights whether or not they had the authority to lease "for monetary considerations" cer­ tain pieces of the School's real estate or parts of the campus. By a ruling handed down by the Kentucky Court of Appeals, in October, 1948, the Trustees were able to lease for a substantial income the lot on Walnut Street (in back of the school buildings) for the operation of a parking lot for automobiles. This increased revenue was a turning point in the history of the school, as it permitted the his­ toric institution to take a new lease on life, to increase its teaching faculty and add several classes in the elementary school, and make other much-needed repairs and improve­ ments, including the installation of fire walls, fire escapes and a fire alarm system. 26 Sayre School

During the years 1947 to 1949, Mrs. J. Farra Van Meter, wife of the President of the Board of Trustees, acted as co-ordinator of the School and was assisted by Dr. Louise Frey, Miss Katherine E. Wilkie and Miss Lela Yancey. Miss Opheha S. T. Carr, a graduate of the University of Kentucky and a teacher of many years' experience, next served as Principal of Sayre School for the years 1949 to 1952. Mrs. Robert W. Miles (Dorothy Miles) was elected as the administrative head of the School in the spring of 1952, and has effectively served in this capacity to the pres­ ent time. Sayre's able teaching staff includes Mrs. Rose Bower, Mrs. Joseph E. Mainous, Mrs. Frank Prindl, Mrs. Howard Covington, Mrs. H. H. Marshall, Miss Elizabeth Watkins, Mrs. H. W. Whittenburg, Miss Lela Yancey Mrs. L. Keene Adams, Mrs. Harriet Snyder, Mrs. John With- row. Miss Naomi H. Cheek and Mrs. George Dodds. Mrs. Andrew Eckdahl serves as Secretary and Bookkeeper. Today Sayre School is devoted to the sound education of young boys and girls from pre-Kindergarten through the Junior High School. Religion is taught each day in a curri­ culum which develops spiritual, mental and physical capacities. Sayre has always held and still believes these are the tools for building a good life. The School's ample facilities include five play-grounds, equipped for all ages where children learn muscular skill and how to play with others. Seasonal sports for boys and girls amplify this part of the program. The School has a successful enrollment of nearly one hundred and sixty pupils. And so, after one hundred years of continuous oper \ tion, Sayre School is still filling an important place in tl. educational field in Kentucky, and its alumnae and stu­ dents have just cause to be proud of its long and 'unviable history, its present achievements and of its promises for th'! future.

DAVID A. SAYRE David Austin Sayre was born near Madison, New Jer­ sey, on March 12th, 1793, the son of Ephraim and Mary Meeker SajTe. His parents were in humble circumstances and David's real education began rather in toil than in let­ ters. At an early age he was apprenticed to Ezra Wood­ ruff, of Elizabeth, New Jersey, "to learn the art and mys­ tery of silversmithing." Finding an unsteady market for his wares and desirous of locating in a more prosperous territory, Woodruff packed his bags and set out for the Western Country, coming to Kentucky in 1811. His young apprentice voluntarily followed him tak­ ing up his journey on foot, his clothing in a pack upon his back, through the wilds and over the mountains of Penn­ sylvania to Pittsburgh. From Pittsburgh down the Ohio River on a keel-boat, he reached Limestone, now Maysville, whence he walked barefoot to Lexington, arriving in this frontier metropolis in the spring of 1811 with only a half- dollar in his pocket. The silversmithing business was continued in Lexing­ ton; David, serving out his full apprenticeship, kept on as a journeyman, often toiling sixteen to eighteen hours a day. In a few months young David bought out the estab­ lishment of his late master who had failed. The young proprietor was both a workman and a salesman in his small factory. His wares were reliable and of the right standard, and his imprint can be found today on the heirlooms in many of the old Bluegrass homes. Young Sayre continued the silversmithing business until 1823, when he connected a broker's office with the business, establishing the firm of David A. Sayre & Com­ pany, at the northeast corner of Short and Mill streets. In this year he was married to Miss Abby V. Hammond; of Norfolk, Virginia. In 1829, Mr. Sayre bought the credits and accounts of the old Commonwealth Bank of Kentucky, and his busi­ ness became exclusively that of banking. He amassed a DAVID A. SAYRE 30 Sayre School large fortune and distributed most of it through public and private donations. Making money to do good with in the light of his own conscience, he gave to the church, to its boards, colleges and schools and almost literally without stint. He largely built the McChord (Second) Presbyterian Church, in Lexington, liberally endowed the library at Cen­ tre College and to promote female education and culture, an object near his heart, he founded the Sayre Female In­ stitute of this city. David A. Sayre died at his residence in Lexington on September 11th, 1870, and is buried, together with his wife, in the Lexington Cemetery. A handsome life-size bronze statue, cast in Philadelphia by Robert Wood & Company, marks the final resting place of this noted edu­ cator, banker and philanthropist. Sayre School 31
