Item #257043

Coolidge’s address, delivered as President, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Philips Academy. Coolidge recounts the circumstances of the founding of the school, drawing parallels with the near-contemporaneous founding of the United States of America. Coolidge did not attend Andover, though he his closely associated with Massachusetts — he attended Amherst College and made his name in politcs in Massachusetts, becoming governor of the state.
