Lismore College
Waterford Standard 2 January 1886
An advert noted that the patron was the Duke
of Devonshire. The Headmaster was Albert
A. Honey M.A., formerly Headmaster of Cowper’s House School, Huntington. The Second Master was H. S. Fawssett ‘late of
Exeter College Oxford’. The ‘Foreign
Master’ was Monsieur J. Graziano.
“Sons of Gentlemen are prepared for
University, Army, Legal and Medical Professions, Bank of Ireland, Civil Service
and Intermediate Examinations. All the
pupils (twelve in number) sent up for the Bank Intermediate, Royal University
and Queen’s College, Cork last year were successful. Particulars of these examinations, with the
honors gained, will be sent on application.
There were no failures.
The highest references can be given to parents
respecting the diet, moral tone of the school, care taken of young pupils, etc.
Under the present Head Mastership, the school
has steadily increased during the past three years, and a proof of its growing
popularity is that English and others removed from English schools are now at
Lismore”.
