...Roger T. Twitchell '16, headmaster of Browne and Nichols school, whose boat house and playing grounds adjoin the land where the Cambridge and of the span will rest, said yesterday: "The suggested building of a bridge at this point will make access to the school easier and will open out the large marsh area below the cemetery to proper policing.
