Huntington, Bishop of Central New York; and has ever since been a successful School of the highest grade.

Although within easy access of all parts of the country, the pupils, by its location, are removed from the evil influences that surround larger towns, The destruction by fire, in 1902, of some of the old buildings, gave the opportunity of replac ing them with more modern structures, chief among which are the Academic Building of the Upper School and Verbeck Hall, the home of the Lower School. The buildings have been constructed with express reference to educa tional uses, provided with special securities against accident and 111 health. They have all the modern improvements, are heated by steam and lighted with electricity. The School is situated about half a mile from the village, on ground considerably elevated above it. The grounds are extensive, comprising seventy acres, principally in woods.
