...class of 1902, wish to extend to you our sincerest sympathy for the loss you have sustained in the death of your son Frank.

In the latter institutions the system of faculty coaching has been thoroughly adopted. The Harvard Faculty, on the other hand, has taken the position of giving no aid to the debaters, on the ground that their coaching would practically result in faculty contests between the colleges.
