Phillips the name of two celebrated New England academies
Aiton's Encyclopedia (1910)
the name of two celebrated New England academies. The first, known as Phillips Andover Academy, was founded at Andover, Massachusetts, April 25, 1778. The original endowment consisted of 140 acres of land with buildings, some 200 acres in New Hampshire , and about $8,000 in cash. It was the gift of three brothers, Samuel, John, and William, instigated by a younger Phillips, the prospective heir of much of the property. The present endowment of the school amounts to about $400,000, with an annual income of $70,000. There are about 400 students and twenty-five instructors.
What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's in 1921 could still call Stephen Phillips's verse prize-winning work and treat him as a major figure; his contemporaries had hailed him as a successor to Tennyson, but his blank-verse dramas fell out of the repertory and out of print, and he is now read chiefly as a case study in vanished Edwardian reputations. The lunatic who shot David Graham Phillips in 1911 has a name — Fitzhugh Coyle Goldsborough, who believed Phillips had libelled his sister and then shot himself — and Phillips's most-read book turned out to be one Collier's does not list, the posthumous "Susan Lenox: Her Fall and Rise." Wendell Phillips's death date is misprinted as "188"; he died on 2 February 1884. Aiton's two New England academies, Phillips Andover and Phillips Exeter, have grown far beyond the $400,000 endowment and 400 students described in 1910: each now enrols over a thousand pupils, both admitted girls in the early 1970s, and both hold endowments in the billions.
