"TUCKER HOUSE" AT ANDOVER
December, 1914

Phillips Academy at Andover, Massachusetts, has named its most recent dormitory "Tucker House" in honor of Dr. William Jewett Tucker. This building, which has been remodelled during the past summer to provide accommodations for seven boys, was erected by the Andover Theological Seminary in 1881 as a residence for Dr. Tucker, and was occupied by him from that time until his removal to Dartmouth in 1893. With the transfer of property in 1908 from the Seminary to the Academy, the house came into the possession of the Academy Trustees, but it has not been used for school purposes until the opening of the present year. It is gratifying to the alumni of the College to know that Dr. Tucker's memory is thus to be perpetuated in the town which was for so many years the scene of his teaching activities.
