Jack Cox discusses "Public Education and Corporate Sponsorship in early 19th century Waltham"

Waltham High School history teacher Jack Cox is the unofficial "Historian of Waltham", but few know that Cox recently published a seminal, fascinating article on the history of the Waltham schools in one of the most prestigious historical journals in the United States. 

Join us for an evening with Cox, as he discusses his groundbreaking study of the ties between the first Waltham schools and the Waltham Mills, the first industrial corporation in the United States.
