Silas R. Morse
Daniel Leeds
Daniel Leeds, the namesake of
Building D1, was a controversial author and, according to legend, may have
sparked the legend of the Jersey Devil.
Born in England in 1651, his family sailed to the New World and landed
in Burlington County in 1678. He was
a member of the Assembly in 1682, and
was appointed a councilor of New Jersey
in 1704.
Leeds was a publisher whose
work included controversial anti-Quaker
books on his former religion. His series
of almanacs were the first publications
ever made in New Jersey and caused
further conflict with the Quakers due to
their pagan-like, astrological content.
It is said that in Estelville, Leeds
wife gave birth to their 13th son, a deformed child with a horse head and
batwings. It killed its mother, escaped
to the Pine Barrens and became the
Jersey Devil. This rumor may have been
started by the Quakers as revenge for
Leeds feud with them, and it continues
to haunt those in the Pine Barrens.
Leeds was the first surveyor general of New Jersey, and began the compilation of the first almanacs in the New
World. Benjamin Franklin, in his Poor
Richards Almanac mentions Daniel
Leeds as an astrologer.
Leeds eventually moved his family to what is now known as Leeds Point,
in Atlantic County. He died in 1720 in
Burlington.
Building B1 is named for Silas
R. Morse, who was curator of the New
Jersey State Museum in Trenton and
superintendent of Atlantic Citys schools.
Morse was born
on March 12, 1840
in Livermore, Maine,
and moved to his
sisters residence in
Hammonton in 1862
for health reasons.
While recovering, he fell in love
with a woman he was tutoring and
married her in 1865. That year, Morse
became principal of Atlantic City High
School and, six years later, was elected
superintendent of Atlantic Citys school
district. Throughout his life he held
multiple educational positions in Atlantic County and New Jersey.
Morse developed an interest in
photography and took more than 4,000
scenic photographs of early Atlantic
County, which were donated to the Atlantic County Historical Society in 1945.
He died in Atlantic City in 1928.
Chris Devine, a member of the Radio Club, was voted the 8th
Communication Major of the Year at this years show held on
May 1. Taylor Henry, Radio Club president, was the runner-up.

Atlantic Capes 32nd Restaurant
Gala at Ballys Casino Hotel in Atlantic City on March 26 gave attendees a
chance to sample a variety of foods while
supporting student scholarships.
The gala is the largest fundraising event
held by the college, and is one of two
annual events that the Atlantic Cape
Foundation holds to raise money for student scholarships. The second event is a
golf tournament held in the fall.
Tickets were $225 per person
for this years event; more than 600
attended,according to Kelly McClay,
deanof the Academy of Culinary Arts.
The theme was Under the Sea, featuring beautiful, oceanic decor and seafoodbased dishes.
Its really a great way for the
community to give back to the students,
Atlantic Cape President Dr. Peter Mora
said.
The night began with a cocktail
reception hosted by students of the
Academy of Culinary Arts (ACA).
Its really exciting to see Atlantic Citys future chefs, cooks and bakers
learning a trade and doing a presentation, said Atlantic City Mayor Don
Guardian, who has attended about a
dozen Atlantic Cape galas. Guardian
was honored for his more than two de-

We are able to run the fitness center year-round through the use of the schools work-study program,
so keeping the services open is an inexpensive cost for the college.
