Seymour I. Hudgens of the sophomore class, known to all Harvard men as a member of the Harvard crews of 1881 and 1882, was the class poet at Phillips Exeter Academy two years ago. He had written considerable poetry before that time and has written some since. A portion of his poetry has been selected, out of which Moses King will make a handsome little volume of 114 pages, entitled "Exeter, School-days and Other Poems." The work has been examined by John Boyle O'Reilly of Boston, Prof. Francis J. Child and the Rev. F. H. Hedge of Cambridge, Prof. Perkins, Cilley and Wentworth of Exeter, Gov. Charles H. Bell of New Hampshire, and many others, all of whom very highly endorse the work for all that it claims to be - a collection of juvenile poems. It will be illustrated with views of the academy, Gorham Hall and Abbott Hall, and portraits of John Phillips, the founder, and Gideon Soule, who for fifty years was principal of the academy.
