. Glam lgrara illlnre Z-E INCE the publication of the last LANCI-2, the school has experienced several changes. In 1910 it E met with serious loss in the death of Bishop McVickar, the president of the Board of Trustees, and e of Mr. Thomas G. Brown, the Treasurer since the school's incorporation. Their keen interest 21 and faithful services will long be remembered by those who appreciate the value of their labors in behalf of the school. Mr. Cowles and Mr. Barton left at the end of the year IQO9-1910, the for111er to study music Y' ,i..faT4Misi1dE'i5i'if'k23 abroad, the latter to beco111e a master in St. jolm's College, Shanghai. Mr. Cowles is now an instructor in music in Yale University. The following fall four new masters joined us: Mr. P. L. Eaton, Mr. R. NV. Hughes, Mr. C. B. judge and Mr. H. F. Preston. Last year Mr. and Miss Diman were abroad, so also were Mr. and Mrs. Roberts. Needless to say they were all greatly missed. Mr. Cabot acted as head master, and under his direction the year was a very successful one. To be sure, an epidemic of pink eye impaired the work of the winter term but the lost work was entirely made up by the end of the year. Mr. Nevins has been abroad during the past year and will be welcomed back next fall. Externally there have been various improvements. Through the generosity of Mr. A. E. Newbold, the Little Chapel was somewhat enlarged in the summer of 1910 and now seats about sixty. The sto11e wall to the east has been carefully and substantially rebuilt. In the summer of 1911 work was begun on the new Gymnasium between the old gymnasium building and the cottage. It was found that funds were insufficient for its completion and the foundations only were finished. The old gymnasium, having been converted into a schoolroom and the former schoolroom into two recitation rooms, the school was for a time without a gymnasium. This difficulty was soon obviated, however, when there was built a temporary and less elaborate gymnasium than the permanent one will be. The temporary 0116 event- ually will then be converted into a dormitory. YVith the new schoolroom which is considerably larger than the old one, has come a welcome improvement in scholarship. Only the sixth form and a few of the tifth are now privileged to study in their rooms. The prefect syste111 has been revised and improved during the past two years under the able leadership of R. B. Swain and E. B. Wall, and l1as proved a most satisfactory institution. S. M. S., JR. 45
