Mohegan Lake School is located at the northern end of the lake. The main building was originally a hotel, and was purchased for a school about 1865 by Prof. Charles D. Morris, who conducted it with emi-nent success for about ten years, when he left to assume a professorship at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. Prof. Morris is a grandson of Mrs. Col. Morris, who, as Mary Philipse, is said to have capti-vated the heart of George Washington. In 1880, after the building had lain idle for about five' years, it was re-occupied by the present school, of which Wallace C. Willcox is principal. This school was founded at Stamford, Conn., in 1850. Students are educated in the English and commer-cial branches, and prepared for college. Military drill forms a feature. The number of scholars for the year ending in June, 1884, was thirty-three.
