Reference excerpt

The William H. Long Memorial is a historic memorial building on Main Street in Hopkinton, New Hampshire. The brick, granite, and sandstone three-story building was constructed in 1890 as a memorial to a member of a prominent local family. The bequest stipulated that the building be used as a home for the local historical society, a function it continues to perform. It was also used to house the local public library. The building was designed by the Boston firm of Means & Gilbert, and is predominantly made of brick. The main entry, centered on the long wall, is recessed under a pilastered entablature topped by a semicircular tablet inscribed with the memorial inscription. Windows on the second floor are framed in ornamented stonework and topped by small oval oculus-like windows. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.

William H. Long

William Harrison Long was born in Hopkinton, New Hampshire on September 9, 1813. He was the son of Isaac Long and Susanna Kimball. Long graduated from Hopkinton academy and went on to graduate from Yale with his M.A. He began his career teaching in Utica and Boston. He accepted the position of headmaster at the Dearborn School to begin September 4, 1847 until his retirement on September 1, 1882. He married Lucia A.D. Rollins on December 25, 1845. Long died on November 5, 1886. Lucia erected the memorial building in memory of her husband.

Hopkinton Historical Society The Hopkinton Historical Society, formerly known as the New Hampshire Antiquarian Society, is housed in the William H. Long Memorial Building, which was a gift to the Society in 1890. The Society offers exhibits of local history, lectures and tours, and maintains a collection of music scores, journals, diaries, books, maps, and artifacts.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with William H. Long Memorial

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what William H. Long Memorial claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to William H. Long Memorial before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about William H. Long Memorial ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of William H. Long Memorial

In research: William H. Long Memorial appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses William H. Long Memorial in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: William H. Long Memorial is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1890, Buildings and structures in Merrimack County, New Hampshire, Hopkinton, New Hampshire, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for William H. Long Memorial outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
