Allen Academy Proposal Attracts Large Town Meeting
A large audience at the opera house heard Prof. Allen outline a plan to establish a Bryan school for boys, with Bryan providing buildings free for five years and the Allen brothers eventually purchasing. The project targets a 60 pupil capacity, draws families from across the region, and envisions a 60 by 60 foot school room with boarding provisions. A committee was appointed to raise funds, and the meeting adjourned subject to the chairman’s call.
