This respite, for which instructors are now planning and to that end regulating their lectures and reading lists, will be an experiment as much for the teacher as for the student, although its success depends, naturally, on the later.

Ingraham who captained the Harvard tennis team in 1925, was the outstanding star of the Exeter tennis team, leading the schoolboy group to a team victory in the Harvard Interscholastic last spring...
