Peete's Boarding School in Fall River, Massachusetts; Black River Academy in Ludlow, Vermont; and Roxbury English High School for Boys in Roxbury, Massachusetts. After completing his education, he worked on a farm and later worked as a railroad surveyor for the Union Pacific Railroad after the Civil War.

Included are Hodges' leisure readings lists, an account ledger of his expenses as a student, and academic standing.
