...Club is unique in that it comprises the union of two preparatory school clubs: those of Exeter and Andover Academies. A glance at their history shows that they have had rather an uncertain existence.

When the building has been thoroughly renovated, conditions will be somewhat better; but we await in patient hope the time when some loyal graduate will present us with a new gymnasium, or at least put the present one into such shape that we shall not be obliged to receive visiting...
