Penhurst Academy was an endowed school. On account of the endowments, the annual rate to boarding scholars was very reasonable-only three hundred dollars, including everything.The academy had a fine reputation, which it owed in large part to the high character and gifts of Dr. Crabb, who had been the principal for twenty-five years. He had connected himself with the school soon after he left Dartmouth, and had been identified with it for the greater part of his active life.Andy had been a pupil for over two years, and was an excellent Latin and Greek scholar. In a few months he would be ready for college.Dr. Crabb was anxious to have him go to Dartmouth, his own alma mater, being convinced that he would do him credit and make a brilliant record for scholarship. Indeed, it was settled that he would go, his parents being ready to be guided by the doctor’s advice.
