In 1910 Worcester, Massachusetts, was one of the largest manufacturing cities in New England, with about 145,000 residents and a reputation as the "Heart of the Commonwealth." Its factories made wire, machine tools, looms, and abrasives, and the Boston & Albany Railroad carried those goods to market. Worcester Academy, founded in 1834 as one of the country's older private schools, stood within this busy city, where its students, many from families of mill managers and professionals, would have seen streetcars, delivery wagons, and rising brick business blocks from the school grounds. The academy's photograph of its campus and surroundings records a moment when education and industry shared the same streets.
