James Carter Knox, who had attended the School from 1862-67, returned to it as a Master from 1868-1929. The traits and abilities which he had shown as a boy made him in his maturity a most valuable master. Although English was the subject that he taught, and taught well, he was capable at a moment’s notice of taking the most advanced classes in Latin or French. His chief work in the school was in music. During the half century that he was a member of the faculty, he was organist and choir master, and won the devoted affection of all the students who worked under him in the Chapel. He set many hymns and chants to music and composed the music for the anthem, “O Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.”
