As they did this a man came out to meet Dick and Sam.
"New students ?" he asked shortly.
"Yes," replied Dick.
"Please step this way." The doorman led them along a broad hall and into a large office.

Here they signed a register and were then introduced by an under teacher to Dr.Wallington, a gray-haired man of sixty, tall and thin, with a scholarly aspect.

The president of Brill shook hands cordially.
"I feel that I know you young gentlemen," he said.

"Your father and I were old school chums.

I hope you like it here and that your coming will do you much good." "Thank you, I hope so too," answered Dick, and Sam said about the same.
