REAR VIEW OF CAMPUS, WILLISTON
SEMINARY. Williston Seminary, a preparatory school
for boys, was founded by Samuel Williston. The corner-stone
of the first building was laid on June 17 th, 1841, and in
December of the same year the school was opened for pupils.
The main buildings are located upon the campus, and are
South, Middle and North Halls and the Gymnasium. The
founder of the school was the son of the first pastor of the
First church, who settled here in 1789. In 1835 Mr. Williston
began the manufacture of machine made buttons and was
the first to introduce the industry into this country. He
became very wealthy and his benefactions during his lifetime
amounted to $1,000,000. By his will the institution secured
a munificent endowment.
