for a patronage that was steadily increasing. The rapid growth and evident promise of the school induced the patrons to erect, in 1883, a well-appointed building with a capacity for sixty-five students. The institution was incorporated and given the name of “The Shady Side Academy.” Since its incorporation the Academy has been quadrupled in capacity to meet the demand for enlarged facilities for college prepara- lon. For thirty years Dr. Crabbe was principal, but because of ill health, resigned in 1913 and was succeeded by Luther B. Adams. In 1916 there was talk of making the academy a country school. So unanimous became the feeling among trustees and patrons that the change was determined upon and steps were taken to make the move. Then the war came on, and all plans were laid aside for the more important duties to our country. Mr. Adams resigned in 1919 and was succeeded by Harold A. Nomer, who for ten years had been a master at the Lawrenceville School, New Jersey. Plans for the new school were resumed and a campaign was organized for the solicitation of funds. Subscriptions totalling $1,000,000 were secured and construction was started. Through the very generous gift of Mrs. Wallace H. Rowe, of 125 acres of land, adjoining the Field Club beyond Aspinwall, a site had been provided for the new school. Ground was broken in February, 1922, and in May, the cornerstone of Rowe Hall was laid with appropriate ceremonies. The Academy now consists of eight new buildings and lour old ones remodeled, a golf course, two football and base- hall fields, and eight tennis courts. The Shady Side Academy Junior School for young boys, was added in 1909 and is still located at Ellsworth and More- wood avenues, Pittsburgh. The school is located on a very beautiful tract of high ground, adjoining the Field Club, on the Fox Chapel road. On the 125 acres are the following buildings:—Rowe Hall, recitation building; Ellsworth House, dormitory; Morewood House, dormitory; Aiken House, dormitory; Dining Hall: Heinz Infirmary; power house; gymnasium: school garage,
