...Freshman hockey team was defeated by St. Paul's School at Concord. N. H., yesterday by a score of 8 to 1. In the first half the play was very even, but in the second half, St. Paul's, by fast and accurate play, seared six goals to the Freshmen...

In that time the number of students has grown from 734 to 4012; the number of teachers has increased in even greater proportion. The character of education has also changed. There has been a great change in the class of students, for fifty years ago there was a great uniformity of pecuniary condition. Now the expenses of a part of the students have been multiplied several times...
