City of La Crosse BENJAMIN M. REYNOLDS, A. M., was born at Barnard, Vt., July 12, 1825, his parents being Ezekiel and Lydia (Barnes) Reynolds. He lived on a farm, more or less, until 21 years of age. At the age of 19, he began preparing for college, attending, at first, the Royalton Academy, and finishing his preparatory studies at the Thetford Academy, under Prof. Hiram Orcutt, then at its head. He entered Dartmouth College in 1848, and graduated in course, paying his entire expenses by teaching and different kinds of manual labor. Since graduating in 1852, Prof. Reynolds has been engaged steadily in educational work. He was Principal of the Windsor, Vt., High School, and of the Bradford, Vt., Academy two years; of the High School at Barre, Mass., a still longer period; of the Union School at Moline, Ill., one year; Superintendent of Schools in Rock Island, and Principal of its High School, nearly four years, being the first Superintendent in that city; Principal of the Union School in Lockp! ort, N. Y., more than five years; Superintendent of Schools at Madison, Wis., six years; Principal of the graded school at Monroe, Wis., one year, and in 1873, became Principal of the High School in La Crosse, having at the same time charge of the Second Ward School. He has raised the grade of these schools more than 100 per cent. One of the leading citizens of La Crosse thus speaks of Mr. Reynolds' work here: "Prof. Reynolds' efficiency as an educator is noticeable in the noble purpose and diligent efforts of his scholars in attainments of knowledge and in the completeness of preparation with which his advanced students have entered various colleges, whose acknowledgments of his success in this respect are highly complimentary to La Crosse schools, whose enviable excellence dates from and is largely attributable to his connection with them." Since he has been in Wisconsin, Prof. Reynolds has held a prominent position among its educators. He has been President of the State ! Teachers' Association; has been on the committees appointed at differe nt times to visit the Normal Schools; also on the committee to visit the State University, and in meetings of the State Teachers' Association and in other convocations of teachers has been one of the leading men. The Professor is preeminently a self-made man, and may truly be called the "architect of his own fortune." In his early years, he had good teachers who gave him wholesome advice, which he has not failed to profit by. He has an exalted idea of the mission of a teacher, and strives to be a model in the profession. Prof. Reynolds is a Master Mason. In his religious sentiments, he is a Congregationalist. He was reared in the Webster school of Whigs, was strong in the faith, and voted with that party till its dissolution, since which time he has been identified with the Republican party. His wife was Mary Ann Morey, daughter of Mitchell C. Morey, a prominent citizen of Windsor, Vt., and for twenty-one years Deputy Warden of the State Prison. They have lost one child and ! have two sons and two daughters living. During the time Prof. Reynolds had charge of the La Crosse High School, he sent to the universities at Madison and Chicago, and also to Beloit College, some of the best students who have entered these institutions. Physically, Prof. Reynolds is about five feet seven inches in height, rather heavy set, and weighs 185 pounds. He has gray eyes and a full, round face. He possesses most excellent physical qualities, being generous, genial, vivacious. He is a man of thorough culture, and his influence over his pupils is in all respects healthful and refining.
