George S. Albee

Prof. George S. Albee, distinguished as the President of the State Normal
School at Oshkosh, is a native of New York, having been born in the town of
Hunn in that state.  He received the rudiments of an education in his
native town, and having completed his preparatory course, matriculated at
the State University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he subsequently
graduated.  Soon after, he was appointed a member of the Faculty of
Rushford Academy, a well-known institute in Western New York, where he
remained several years.    Eleven years ago he founded and put in operation
the school with which he has since been, and now is so prominently
identified.  Under his administration the institution has grown in
popularity and influence; having for the past five years held one half the
counties in Wisconsin tributary to it, as a source of education to
students, and attracted a reputation which has been synonymous with the
cause of learning in the Northwest.
