...students make them. These men who teach us must be pedantic pedagogues, they always have been and will continue so. The child's tutor was so inhuman as to call him from his play to books; and the child persisting later finds his professor inhuman. This notion is the school-boy's heritage and is so strong that when an attempt is made to popularize a course, when the professor tries to escape the mould the student fastens upon him, he is criticized as sugar-coating a pill which is preferred bitter, as feebly trying to curry the student...
...first singles match between Ingraham and Charles Watson produced the best tennis of the Freshman season. In Watson, the Academy has a player who is now ranked as the best school-boy in New England. Last year he lost to ingraham in the interscholastic tournament, but defeated him in the annual Exeter-Andover encounter.

Exeter won eight of the possible 12 first places and pressed the Freshmen runners hard in all the events...

A. team in Mechanics Hall on Saturday afternoon at the annual school-boy meet held under the auspices of the B. A. A. The time was 3m., 4 1-5., being 1 2-5s. behind the record set up a year ago by the University relay team...
