In consequence
of this a memorial was sent from the masters to the Trustees, requesting
them to reverse their decision of June 17th, which recalled the school in
September. At a meeting of the Trustees, on July 14th, the following
resolution was passed:
Resolved--"That, while in the opinion of the Trustees there is nothing
in the present condition of the town of Uppingham which calls upon
them to rescind their resolution of the 17th ult, yet, having regard
to a memorial addressed to them by the whole body of the assistant-
masters, they are willing, in compliance with the same, that the
school shall remain at Borth during the autumn term."
Arrangements were at once begun for returning to camp after the holidays.
The responsibility for this step, which was thus devolved upon the
masters, though it was accepted without hesitation, was felt to be no
light one. Our engagement with the lessee of the hotel had provided for
a renewal of the contract at will; but there remained the owners of some
thirty houses, large and small, with whom we should have to reckon.
