The Manitowoc Seminary Was instituted at the special desire of several friends of a practical and thorough education, living in this place. The plan was, to introduce such subjects as are taught in Higher Schools or Academics. The school was first opened after Mr. Augustes Wittman's arrival in 1854, in Mrs. Ricker's house, near the bridge, with the number of thirty scholars. After having been in operation about two years, three lots were purchased on Seventh street, and by means of a loan out of the school fund of the State, and the assistance of several citizens interested in the cause of education, a building was erected, 50 feet by 25, two stories high, which was styled "Manitowoc Seminary." The school was then removed there from its first location, and opened with an exhibition, in the presence of all its friends and patrons, October, 1856. Since that time, several of its scholars have entered into business, and proved to have received a suitable education. German scholars are instructed in their own language until they have acquired sufficient knowledge of the English to be instructed therein. The principal subjects of the plan of studies are: the German, English, and French languages, Geometry, Arithmetic, Geography, History, Reading, Writing, Natural History and Philosophy, (Zoology and Mineralogy in winter, and Botany in summer) Drawing, and Vocal and Instrumental music. The Principal is Mr. August Wittman, formerly of Newark, N.J.; where he superintended a like institution, to the highest satisfaction of his partrons in that place, and was called to this village for the same purpose. The building contains three rooms for instruction, and sufficient more to receive fifteen boarding scholars. The terms for tuition and board are $100 per annum. Music (except vocal) $40 extra. The Manitowoc Pilot, June 14, 1859


[1867]


WELL DONE.-Two weeks ago the Pilot strongly urged upon the people of School District No. 1 (North side of the river) the necessity of erecting a large and commodious school house for the accommodation of the many scholars resident there. We are rejoiced to know that the citizens have promptly and generously taken the matter in hand, and at the Annual Meeting on Monday evening a tax of fifteen thousand dollars was voted to build a brick house the coming season. This amount will give them one of the best school houses in the State, and will be a lasting monument to the good sense, liberality, and patriotism of the people of the north side. At the same meeting, W.W. Waldo, was elected Director for three years-a first rate selection Messrs. J.E. Platt, J.D. Markham, and W.F. Watrous, were appointed to act as building committee-three men who will be faithful to the interest of the District in the erection of the new building.

Erect Many Tons- During the course of the work several hundred tons of steel were placed in the new school. Masons are now at work on the top of the last floor walls and it is expected that the new school will be roofed in shortly. While rain and the hot spell held up the work for several days the Hoffmann Co. is less than two weeks behind schedule and there is hope that at least the class rooms of the school will be ready for use by September 15. The Hoffmann Co. will concentrate on this work, letting the gym and swimming pool go until the academic section of the school is ready for use. Manitowoc Herald News, July 11, 1931

Others who will be here are Jennie Pierpont, Felix Walsh, brother of former United States Senator Thomas Walsh from Montana, and Mrs. Louise Whitney.
