audience worshipping in it is
composed of professors and their families, the students of the
institutions, and a few families living near.

Then follow Phillips Hall and Bartlett Hall, and between them is
Bartlett Chapel, the two former serving as dormitories, and the latter
for lecture and recitation rooms. Nearly opposite the south end of the
avenue is the gymnasium, and in the foreground, nearer the main street,
is the imposing library building Brechin Hall.

Over three thousand students have been connected with this institution,
and the illustrations which accompany this article will awaken tender
and precious memories in the minds of many readers.

In 1830 it was determined to open a school in connection with Phillips
Academy, for the training of teachers. The Stone Academy was erected on
the square nearly opposite the present academy, and a dwelling-house,
also built of stone, was used as the workshop of the students. This
house afterwards became the residence of Prof. C. E. Stowe, D.D., and
his talented wife. It was while living here that she wrote her "Key to
Uncle Tom's Cabin," and received the kind and unkind notices of her
great work.

This school was discontinued in 1842, for lack of funds, and the
building was used as the head-quarters of the Academy,--the recitations
being made in what is now the gymnasium. About twenty years ago it was
burned, and the new academy erected.

Among the buildings in town which have been made historic is what is
known as "the old Andover Bookstore,"--so called to distinguish it from
the present publishing house. It stands on the top of the hill, is a
brick structure, and is now used as a dwelling-house.

The Andover Press has always been closely allied with the literary
institutions of the town. In 1809, but one year after the opening
of the Theological Seminary, Mark Newman, who for fourteen years
had been the eminently respected principal (the third) of Phillips
Academy, resigned his office and engaged in the book business, in
which he continued till near the close of his long life of nearly
eighty-seven years. He died in 1859. Four years after Dea. Newman
opened his bookstore, Flagg & Gould began the printing business, at
first printing for Dea. Newman and others, but soon for themselves
as publishers. The firm of Flagg & Gould remained unchanged for
twenty years. In 1833 they admitted as partner Mark H. Newman,
