...Boston Latin School, on Warren avenue, though, it must be admitted, under such restrictions as to seriously impair its usefulness * * * * * But perhaps the most noticeable change is that which has taken place in the time and attention devoted to the physical training of college students. It is, so to speak, but few years since the undergraduates at most of our colleges were left to shift for themselves.

The gentlemen of that committee say that as they are not in accord with the under-graduates in the matter of a paid coach, it seems but proper for them to resign. It is, indeed, unfortunate that a state of things has come to pass, such as to bring a difference between this committee and the students. Since its organization, no one can deny that it has given material aid to the cause of boating...
