A LIST OF PERSONS
ATTENDING
THE CLASS NAMED IN THIS REPORT.
About thirty persons usually attended.
George Ripley. The well-known clergyman, settled over a Unitarian church in Purchase St., Boston, afterward the President of the Association at Brook Farm, and later literary editor of the New York “Tribune.”
Sophia Dana Ripley, his wife.
Elisabeth Palmer Peabody. A woman of remarkable accumulations of learning, and as remarkable a breadth of sympathy. She was a teacher,—an enthusiastic advocate of the Kindergarten, and opened at No. 13 West St., Boston, a foreign Circulating Library, which soon became a sort of Literary Exchange of the greatest use to New England. Her own great powers did not accomplish all they ought, because it was impossible for her to apply them systematically.
Frederick Henry Hedge. The well-known German and ecclesiastical scholar, whose remarkable scholarship and character have not yet received the commemoration they deserve. He was at this time settled over the church in Bangor, Maine.
James Freeman Clarke. Already the pastor of the Church of the Disciples, in Boston, and preaching at Amory Hall. The outline of his lovely and useful life is preserved in a memoir by the Rev. E. E. Hale, D.D.
Ralph Waldo Emerson. The Concord philosopher.
Mrs. Farrar, born Rotch, the wife of the Harvard Professor of Physical Science and Mathematics.
