DR. SARGENT'S RETIREMENT.

After forty years of untiring service in a field of vital importance, the promotion of health and strength in thousands of students, Dr. Sargent announces his intention to retire from the active direction of the Hemenway Gymnasium. It is easy to understand Dr. Sargent's desire to be relieved after a lifetime of devoted work, but it is difficult to be reconciled to his going. To every student who has come in contact with him, Dr. Sargent is as real and genial a friend as he is a helpful physical advisor. Outside the limits of Cambridge Dr. Sargent is almost as well known and certainly as highly regarded as he is here. His efforts in behalf of national hygiene have done much to further the cause of compulsory physical training in schools, and through his writings on the subject he has come to be regarded as an authority.

It will indeed be difficult to fill the vacancy which Dr. Sargent will leave at Hemenway.
