roved himself a thorough, able, and
zealous teacher in his new chair, and by degrees became deeply
interested in the Scientific Department, and devoted his time and
energies to building it up and making it a success. He early became
sensible of the importance of the free-hand drawing, and gave it a
prominent place in the curriculum of the School, which it has
continued to hold. The depth of Professor Woodman's love for the
School, and the strength of his desire for its continued prosperity,
were made manifest in his will by a generous donation to its funds.
Those who graduated from the Chandler Department while it was under
the administration of Professor Woodman, will never cease to love and
revere his memory."

A classmate, distinguished for his interest in general education,
says:

"Professor Woodman was county commissioner of schools, and secretary
of the New Hampshire Board of Education, during the year 1850. He was
again county commissioner during the years 1852 and 1853. In 1854 he
was commissioner and chairman of the board which was composed of the
commissioners of the several counties. In the opinion of the most
competent judges, Professor Woodman was one of the wisest and most
efficient state school officers New Hampshire has ever had. He was
admirably qualified for the work of an educator, not only by the cast
of his methodical, organizing mind, but by his varied experience and
scholastic attainments. He was eminently practical in all his plans
for the improvement of the schools, and he knew well how to adapt
means to ends. His reports, both as commissioner and secretary, were
of a high order of excellence, and they were highly beneficial in
promoting the cause of education in the State."

Professor Woodman married Mary Ann, daughter of Stephen Perkins
Chesley, of Durham, and adopted daughter of Edward Pendexter. He died
at Durham, N. H., May 9, 1871.

In 1853, Professor Clement Long, who was the son of Samuel and Mary
(Clement) Long, and was born at Hopkinton, N. H., December, 31, 1806,
was called to the chair of Intellectual Philosophy which had been
vacated by the resignation of Professor Haddock. He was a thorough
teacher. Being himself a most profound thinker, he deemed it his duty
to exact a thorough knowledge of every day's lesson by the student. If
he had not made himself master of the subject, by learning all that
was to be learned from the text-book,
