James Allyn Makes Fine Offer for Bristol Neck School
In a letter to the Phoenix, James Allyn offers to endow a Bristol Neck junior high if it houses a new high school building. He promises $6,000 in library works and art, a giant telescope, and powerful binoculars, plus a viewable moon and celestial details from the top of the school. He notes the nearby college desires the project and urges the community to work for knowledge.
