Alfred Bunker Longtime Boston Master Retired on Pension
Alfred Bunker, retired on a city pension from the Quincy School after 50 years of teaching, is one of Boston’s most popular masters. He has served as secretary and trustee of the Boston Teachers' Retirement Fund Association, resigning last year to focus on the association. He credits two rules for his success: obedience to rightful authority and absolute impartial justice. Born February 14, 1838 in Nantucket, he studied at Coffin private school and Bridgewater Normal School, and taught in several towns before joining Quincy School in 1864. He later served at North Weymouth High, Comins School Roxbury, and Somerville High before returning to Quincy as master in 1884. He resides at 29 Juniper Street, Roxbury.
