ATHLETICS
Mr. G. Campeau, Director of Gymnasium 1847
"Athletics then were almost unknown. We had swings, handball in fine weather and football in winter. Quite a common amusement was the playing of marbles, in which all the students indulged. Among the best players were two Indians, young men of full age. They came from Illinois." SCHOLASTIC, 41:2, 1858
