Mr. Wentworth served as President oi the Board from 1880 until his deatli in isa?, after whidi time he haa been succeeded by Judge Bicbard Field. It is the duty of the Soaid to see that the management of the Academy Is entrusted tn cnmpftf ' nt officers and that thp stanfljirds set I v Mr. Wentwortlt in the original diarter are maintained.

Is he leamint; to tld(e on responsibilities? Is tu la ' t-dniiiig lohusl and manly? Arc his ;i !i;o- ciatea of the best? Do we thoroughly under.sland his problems aiid needs ; do we have his confidence and know how he uses his leisure time? In school does he study properly? Is :in. (H ' .tiiil exercised ov r his spare lime and his asso- ciates? Are his teachers men who understand l)oy nature and Hj ' mpathetically assist him in his studies and in adjustment to school life, or is he under women who find it impossbte to tuiditx in i|is iM%od O s be at udy in the evenings? If he is throui with high school is he ready for the freedom of the large university? Will he he .ililc to do his best in large classes without perspnal at- tention and intereiit un the part of his instructors? Ik he sufficiently matured to accept th« mspmudbility of of j i sing his tim«aiid intrarmta tt » gtfiiidiNi vetaity? Here at Wentworih we have Ijeen endeavoring to answer such queries for ilciMy half a century and a school nationally known for its work with boy» and young men has devcloppd. A parent has one hoy ' s prohlems tn m Ht whilt here we have those of hundreds. The .-ichool is organized to aiiiicipaie a boy ' ji mtntivsttd needs and to direct him to those things which will give him a well rounded rational development enabling him to realize his beat possibilities. The Wentworth phin i-ecojjnizes interest and direction as the superior tools with which to fashion a man, and you w ill find iiulljiij r o! Llie di i iiig harsh sys- tem of auUiority often deemed synunymouti with mililury discipline. You will find at Wentworth a splendid group of democratically organized boys with Whom you will he leligiited to have your .son associated. 1 trust the following pages will be enlightening and. of much intemtcoQ ' ceming what the Academy offers yotir boy.
