DEDICATION
During its existence of one hundred and forty-three years, Thompson Academy has been singularly fortunate in having had the leadership of men who, because of their devotion to the solution of human problems, have been called, "The Keepers of the New England Conscience." The school which they built and maintained on Thompson's Island without cost to society stands as a memorial to them and continues its indispensable service to youth in these difficult times. This publication is, therefore, dedicated to the memory of those gentlemen of old Boston who founded Thompson Academy and those now deceased who have fostered its growth by service as its officers. They are listed below.
