PR.OV yxrt-6 I JOHNSON. PREFACE. From the summit of Sinai thousands of years ago, in the midst of thunderings and lightnings, Jehovah gave to the human race a moral code to be observed by the people of every land, and of every clime throughout all ages, and a part of this code proclaimed to every man and woman and child, "Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." The duty enjoined in this commandment includes in its requirement not only respect, and kindness and honor to parents while living, but a kind and honorable remembrance also of ancestors who have departed. Hence it is becoming and appropriate in the members of a family line to collect and pre­ serve and transmit to posterity the history of their progenitors. The work of the genealogist is to trace ancestral lines, and to connect one generation withanother during a succession of years, to gather items ofinterest in connection with each family, and to preserve a correct and reliable history of the descendants of a remote ancestor.

This was afterward modified so as to include biographical data, deemed worthy of preservation. The record of students, extended beyond the half-century limit to 1830, the date of the organization of the Teachers' Seminary (at the wish of Principal Bancroft, who was deeply interested in the work), was completed and stereotyped in 1892. Issued now for the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the Academy, sketches of all the Trustees, Principals and Assistant Instructors have been added, together with a list of the " Divinity Students" in Phillips Academy be- fore the founding of the Andover Theological Seminary.

K. Youn, Dissertation Chair ABSTRACT This study is about access for low-income students at an elite boarding school. As “feeder schools” to elite colleges and universities, elite boarding schools play a significant role in determining which students will be in the upper class in America; however, little is known about the history of low-income students at these schools. The purpose of this study is to examine the history of access at one elite boarding school through the frameworks of organizational saga and institutional theory to enhance understanding of how the concepts of access and opportunity at elite institutions have developed over time. Employing a historical, organizational case study approach, this study uses archival research, document review, and interviews with school leaders to construct a developmental history of Phillips Academy, in Andover, Massachusetts.
