Some of the Noyes students were the best and brightest of their generation.

For Wallace, the story of Noyes Academy was the pointless loss of a school that would have transformed his beloved Canaan.

The destroyers of the school went to great lengths to pretend they were within the law. They weren't. Not even close.

Once Noyes Academy was established, both its supporters and its opponents held rallies to drum up support for their side.

Would Noyes Academy have survived without Trussell's war on "perjured Masons?" Wallace thinks it might have.
