Excerpt from The Teacher: A Commemorative Sermon Preached in the Second Congregational Church of Exeter, N. H Both Dr. Abbot and Dr. Soule always looked with extreme jealousy on any influence that might find its way into the academy through lavish expenditures of money by the students. They wisely deprecated everything of that kind as evil in itself and of evil example. Hence it was, in no small measure, that the public spirit of the place was on the side of truth and of learning. They who did not love and cherish them had no title to the associations and privileges of the place. I speak of the school as I knew it more than fifty years ago, and as I have known it from time to time since then, with its enlarged resources and its improved methods of study. Dr. Soule retired from its head in 1873. His heart was still in his work. Its interests were dearer to him than his own. When, a few years before, the venerable building in which he had studied as a boy, and in which he had been so long the presiding genius, was burned, he wept as he would not have done if' it had been his own personal property. When he withdrew from its beloved labors and cares, he watched from his windows the students my boys, he used to call them still - as they went to their recitations, and turned always with a fatherly fondness and yearning towards them.
