Catalogue and Circular: Fifty-Fourth Year, Ending Aug. 31, 1894, Terms 122 and 123 (Classic Reprint), School Bridgewater State Normal

The school has had only three principals. Nicholas Tillinghast was principal the first thirteen years, and he devoted himself unspar ingly to the work of establishing it upon a broad and deep foundation. By his persistent, thorough, self-forgetting, and noble work he exerted an influence that will not cease to be felt among the generations of this Commonwealth. No one man has done more to stimulate the thought and improve the work of teachers in this State than Mr. Tillinghast. When he entered upon his work these schools for teach ers simply had leave to be. The difficulties which had to be surmounted would have appalled a man of less heroic temper.

Marshall Conant, the second principal, brought to the school a rich harvest of ripe fruit gathered in other fields, and immediately took up the work where his predecessor had left it, and carried it forward in the same spirit during the next seven years.
