Excerpt from James W. Gerard: Biographical Sketch; And Proceeding of the Board of Inspectors of Common Schools; In Reference to the Death of James W. Gerard, Together With the Action of the Board of Education; A Letter From Charles O"conor, Esq., And a Brief Account of the Funeral Ser

The late Mr. James W. Gerard was a native of the City of New York, of Scotch and French descent.

He received a careful preparatory training in some of the best private schools in the city, and in due time graduated from Columbia College with marked distinction, being third in his class.

Though a finished classical scholar, and a fine mathematician, his natural tastes and glowing ambition took a higher range than the dry, dull formulas of text books.
