From The Boston Globe: The Woodward School for Girls, a 116-year-old private school in Quincy, Mass., that has long benefited from the largesse of President John Adams, has sued the city of Quincy, asserting officials mismanaged income from a trust set up after the nation’s second commander in chief donated land to the city. School officials contend that the city owes Woodward as much as $10 million. The income from the trust was designated originally for the Adams Academy, a boys school, which opened in 1872 on land left by the president. The academy closed in 1907, and a subsequent court ruling decreed that the money could be used to support the Woodward School, the academy’s sister school, which opened in 1894 on land left by Adams.
