. Lafayette's visit to Germantown, July 20, 1825; an address delivered before the Pennsylvania Genealogical Society, March 1, 1909, the Pennsylvania Historical Society, May 10, 1909, the Site and Relic Society of Germantown, May 20, 1910, the City History Society of Philadelphia, Jan. 11, 1911. ES VISIT he departed the shouts of the multitude and the roar-ing of the cannon was almost deafening. A. L. Logansaid I could give you a very fine description of it—but I told him I would have to leave it to your imagi-nation, it would be impossible for me to describeeverything. The original of this letter has been depos-ited by Miss Sally W. Johnson in the Museumof the Site and Relic Society in Vernon Park, Germantown. The breakfast over, the Generals party, accompanied by the Germantown Cavalry, pro-ceeded up the Main Street to the institutioncalled Mt. Airy College, which occupied thesite of Chief Justice William Allens countryplace, also called Mt. Airy. The Chief Justicehad built the house shortly after 1750, and ithad been a famous country home in its day.The square building of stone was the originalhouse, the other buildings having been addedfor school purposes. Here, after some changesof ownership, had been established, in 1807, a Catholic school, and it later became, in 18 15, . TO GERMANTOWN 19 the American Classical and Military Institute, *under the management of Benjamin C. Con-stant and Major August L. Roumfort. Amongthe later distinguished pupils of the school wereGeneral P. G. T. Beauregard, General GeorgeG. Meade and Admiral Du Pont. The oldbuildings made way some twenty years afterLafayettes visit for the more convenient countryhome of James Gowen, and this property waslater sold to the Lutheran Theological Semi-nary, which now occupies the site. No detailsof the stop at the school are available, but thevisit must have been a short and hurried one.It is preserved that Lafayette expressed thehighest gratification with the school and itsmanagement.
