...give a definition of it, but generally speaking they are endowed, church of England boarding schools, the head master and many of the subscribers of which are clergymen. According as the definition varies so does the number of these schools, but in all there are some thirty-five. The larger schools have many more scholars than our own, and the attainments of the boys are greater. At all these schools chapel life is a most essential feature. Dr. Temple's superannuation which fixes the age for sixth form men at nineteen prevails at many schools. The classics are the basis...
...drawback to counterbalance the work of which he has shown himself capable. The men he has under his command will enjoy that prestige which comes with victory, and the mass of college players from among whom he will draw his men to fill any gaps in his ranks is larger in point of numbers than ever before.

Last year there were only four men from west of Missouri, and this year there are eleven. But this is hardly a fair estimate of what is commonly called the West. Taking into account...
Last year 133 out of 174 students came from Massachusetts. It is gratifying 10 find that this year a larger proportion come from outside the State; the exact figures are at this time unattainable. Of this year's "special" students, nine are graduates of the Annex, two are graduates of Smith, three of the University of Wisconsin, two of the University of Kansas, and one of Wellesley. Many others are graduates of normal and high schools too numerous to mention. In the regular course are two undergraduates of Bryn Mawr, and one of Oberlin...
