,:f, .K HE Milford School was started as a tutoring school by Joseph, Samuel B., and Harris Rosenbaum in New Haven in 1908. It was known as The Rosenbaum Tutoring School, and was devoted mainly to coaching students at Yale who found themselves behind in 7931? their work. A summer session was held for the benefit of those who had entrance conditions to remove. The preparatory department was an outgrowth of the summer 5 Zig' 5 school. Boys who were not getting along well where they were, or those who wished to get into college sooner than they otherwise could, came to New Haven for several months of intensive study. As the school became better known, boys came there for a longer time. Finally it became an all-year school. The school soon grew too large to run smoothly in New Haven. There were more distractions in a college town than was good for the boys. Furthermore, the student body was scattered in New Haven, making it impossible to create any unity or school spirit. Milford was selected as an ideal town for the school, and in September, 1916, the school was moved there. The school has grown steadily since that time. Starting with an attendance of twenty boys in 1916 the school has grown to an enrollment of over one hundred boys this year. The original school building and dormitory were outgrown. A second recitation hall, another dormitory, and three cot- tages were added to take care of the increased attendance. Where three tennis courts were the entire athletic equipment at the start, there are now seven tennis courts, baseball and football iield,yand gym- nasium. The school contemplates erecting a dining hall next year as it has outgrown its present quarters. - ' '
