Mount Pleasant Classical Institution, Amherst, Mass.Print Title: The Mount Pleasant Classical Institution, Amherst, Mass. Description: Established as a school for boys based on the German "gymnasia" system in 1827, the Mount Pleasant Classical Institution was only open under that name for twelve years. Situated a mile away from town on the top of a hill, its architecture and experimental academic program garnered some national attention. Students took classes in Latin, Greek, grammar, elocution and bookkeeping, paying $250 a year for tuition, books and board. After a few years it faltered, eventually closed and was dismantled. The wings were removed to other parts of town, where one became a boarding house called the Beehive. Among its more famous students was Henry Ward Beecher.
