APPENDIX VIII.

TRUSTEES FOR FIFTY-ONE YEARS.

The Hon. Edward Everett was President of the Board of Trustees from 1852 to 1864; George Ticknor in 1865; William W. Greenough, from 1866 to April, 1888; from May 7, 1888, to May 12, 1888, Prof. Henry W. Haynes; Samuel A. B. Abbott, May 12, 1888, to April 30, 1895; Hon. F. O. Prince, October 8, 1895, to May 8, 1899; Hon. Solomon Lincoln has served since May 12, 1899.

The Board for 1852 was a preliminary organization ; that for 1853 made what is called the first annual report. At first it consisted of one alderman and one common councilman and five citizens at large until 1867, when a revised ordinance made it to consist of one alderman, two common councilmen, and six citizens at large, two of whom retired, unless reëlected, each year, while the members from the City Council were elected yearly. In 1878 the organization of the Board was changed to include one alderman, one councilman, and five citizens at large, as before 1867; and in 1885, by the provisions of the amended city charter, the representation of the City Government upon the Board by an alderman and a councilman was abolished, leaving the Board as at present, consisting of five citizens at large, appointed by the Mayor.
