CELEBRATE ON NORWICH SITE

A tablet to the memory of Captain Alden Partridge, founder of Norwich University and its head during many years, was unveiled and dedicated at the old Norwich parade ground on Monday, Oct. 13. Norwich University was established in 1819, one hundred years ago. Dr. John K. Lord of Dartmouth spoke on, "The Times of the Founder." A parade, and a military ball at Union Hall took place in the evening.

Captain Partridge sold the grounds and buildings of Norwich University, which he owned, in 1843. The South Barracks burned in 1866. The University was then removed to Northfield, Vt., its present site.
