Soon after he began teaching at the school in 1897, he coached the baseball team, an office which he kept up for eleven years of his headmastership. The founder of the school set forth that Andover was to teach "the great end and real business of living," but many a boy who remembers both Stearns the coach and Stearns the friendly, gentlemanly, informal chapel speaker, will boil that long phrase down to diamond parlance: "There is no short...
