Blair Academy in Blairstown, New Jersey, was a boys' boarding school in 1914, founded in 1848 by John Insley Blair, a financier whose fortune came largely from railroads. Blairstown was a small village in Warren County, where farming, local trade and rail connections shaped daily life. That summer, war broke out in Europe in August 1914, and it dominated national newspapers, though in a quiet school town the routines of classes, athletics and chapel would have governed most days. This view shows the academy's campus, with buildings that housed students from families across the Northeast.
