241 St. Botolph Street, Boston<br />
Commemorating the presence of Cotting School from 1904 to 1988 at 241 St. Botolph<br />
Street, now the home of the New England Conservatory (NEC), alumni, staff,<br />
former staff, and trustees gathered in October for a small ceremony to celebrate the<br />
installation of a plaque on a pillar outside the building. Welcomed by NEC Chief<br />
Financial Officer, Edward Lesser, and hosted by Cotting President, David Manzo,<br />
guests heard a brief history of the school and heard reminiscences from alumni<br />
Margaret Sugrue-Temple (1951) and Jim Tanner (1970), and former Superintendent Carl<br />
Mores. Members of the original founders’ families attended the ceremony, and the<br />
NEC’s Panama Jazz Festival Ensemble entertained guests. Descendants of Cotting’s<br />
visionary co-founders, Dr. Edward H. Bradford and Dr. Augustus Thorndike, gathered<br />
to honor their grandfathers. Brad Perry, great-nephew of Cotting’s first teacher and<br />
Superintendent, Mary Perry, attended as well.
