	Mounting the platform, Lord Jellicoe said he would speak to the boys of the school on the lessons of Nelson's greatest victory. Nelson had been a great inspiration to the British nation, he said; it was Nelson who largely handed down to the British Navy those traditions which had given the men strength to try and live up to the standard which he set them. The boys knew, as well as anyone else, the great value of traditions in any great organisation, a service, or a school , through many of its trials, because the boys or the men belonging to it endeavoured to live up to the great tradition that had been set them. The boys of that Grammar School had a great tradition to live up to; and that tradition must have been greatly strengthened by what ex-boys did for their country during the [[Wikipedia:World War I\|Great War]]. He had read the words on their memorial: "In proud memory" of those who fell for their country during the Great War. That tablet should be a great inspiration to future boys in the development of their characters in that educational establishment.

	When the School grew and lacked accommodation a few years ago, [[Haven House]] was taken over and adapted as well as might be to meet requirements. It proved a poor place for the purpose, but as a makeshift had to suffice. There has been one [[Fives Court#Second Fives Court\|inefficient classroom]] off the old playground near the [[Number One South End\|Headmaster's house]]. In Haven House itself the "Standard" when shown over the premises the other day by [[Herbert Haycroft Morris\|Capt H H Morris]], at once perceived that things were much worse. The rooms are small and cramped and very dark. In the first classroom on the ground floor it was found that gas lighting was necessary during the hours of tuition. A second room was almost as bad. There was little or no ventilation. Two more rooms upstairs have been pressed into the service and made the best of. Everybody is thankful that the tenure of the place is at an end.<ref>[[Haven House]] continued in use by the school until the 1960s</ref>		When the School grew and lacked accommodation a few years ago, [[Haven House]] was taken over and adapted as well as might be to meet requirements.

	"Of the early history of education in this borough," Capt Morris said, "records are scanty. The first reference to a school here occurs in the Act of the Chapter of Lincoln, in which it is stated that on the 15th June, 1327, the Dean and two Canons, sitting in a certain low room below the Dean's chapel in his house discussed the collation of grammar schools in the County of Lincoln, which were vacant, and conferred the School of St Botolph upon one [[Robert of Muston\|Robert, of Muston]]. This appointment was continued annually, at least, until 1335, in which year notices of the school cease. The next reference to a grammar school is found in Pardon granted by [[Wikipedia:Pope Julius II\|Poue ''[sic]'' Julius II]] to the people of Boston, at the instance of [[Wikipedia:Thomas Cromwell\|Thomas Cromwell]], in 1510. From this we learn that the Guild of Our Lady maintained seven priests, 12 ministers, 13 [[Wikipedia:Beadsman\|beadmen]], lights of the brotherhood, and a grammar school. For the finding of these members of the Guild were required, in return for the pardons, to contribute the sum of 5s 8d on entrance and subsequently 12 pence yearly. It is possible that it is from the Guild School that our Grammar School, which was founded by [[Wikipedia:Mary I of England\|Queen Mary]] in 1554, may have developed, for the lands and possessions of the fraternity of the Guild formed part of the endowment granted to the Corporation for its maintenance. [[Big School\|This hall]], in which we are assembled, was built twelve years later. A stone slab over the entrance door records that 'in AD 1567, in the ninth year of [[Wikipedia:Elizabeth I\|Queen Elizabeth]], Mayor and [[Wikipedia:Burgess (title)\|Burgesses]] of Boston, with one ad the same consent, built this school for the instruction of boys in pious letters, [[William Gannock\|William Gannock]] being custodian of the staple and at that time Mayor' - the translation custodian is somewhat doubtful.

The latter addition is commemorated by an inscribed slab placed over the porch entrance. Its Latinity was unfortunately somewhat marred by a mason who recut it several years ago. In 1904 the need of better facilities for the teaching of scientific subjects led to the erection on the south side of the playground of the [[Science Blocks#First Science Block\|science block]], consisting of chemical and physical laboratories and a lecture room, and now very efficiently equipped.

	"With the increase in numbers during and after, the War, the existing buildings were found quite inadequate, and use was made of rooms in the adjoining [[Haven House]]. These rooms, however, were unsuitable for teaching purposes, and some eight years ago the School Governors prepared a scheme of extensions.

With the continued demand, however, for admission and the removal of the embargo, it was felt three years ago that new and suitable accommodation was so urgently necessary that it must if possible be provided. The support of the County Council was enlisted, and to-day we enter upon possession of an extensive and very worthy addition to the old School.

That tablet should be a great inspiration to future boys in the development of their characters in that educational establishment.

			Lord Jellicoe then spoke of the outstanding characteristics of Nelson - his courage and devotion to duty, his indomitable determination, and his love of country. He pointed out that we were the inheritors of the greatest Empire the world had ever seen - an Empire that stood for justice, and freedom; and he urged the boys never to commit an act which would besmirch the traditions of that great Empire. (Applause).

			The School song - "[[Floreat Bostona (music)\|Floreat Bostona]]" - was then sung; and following, the National Anthem.

			Cheers were given for Sir Archibald Weigall, the Governors of the School, and Lord Jellicoe.

			Tea was served to the visitors.

Coupled with one's admiration for the new Boston Grammar School buildings, ceremoniously opened yesterday (Thursday) and occupied for the first time to-day - admittedly among the best of their kind to be found in Lincs. - must be a feeling of real surprise that the School has been carried on so well under the old conditions for so long.

	When the School grew and lacked accommodation a few years ago, [[Haven House]] was taken over and adapted as well as might be to meet requirements. It proved a poor place for the purpose, but as a makeshift had to suffice.

The rooms are small and cramped and very dark. In the first classroom on the ground floor it was found that gas lighting was necessary during the hours of tuition. A second room was almost as bad.

	On the south of the playground stands the [[Science Blocks#First Science Block\|Science block]] built in 1904 and here the physical laboratory has had to be used as a classroom. The arrangement has been very unsatisfactory, as the boys cannot see the blackboard properly. The chemical laboratory has also had to serve as an unsuitable classroom.

	The Mayor proposed a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff. He said he had the misfortune not to be a Boston boy, although he was beginning to think he was a Boston man. It would be presumption, therefore, for him to claim to have some affection for the School, but there must be many who like one who now held a very important position in the town, and had left deep mark on one of the desks, naturally felt a deep regard for Boston School. There was some proprietry in his being asked to move the vote, representing the town generally, as he did; and he would like to assure Sir Archibald Weigall that not only the Governors of the School, the Education Committee, and the parents of the boys, as well as the boys themselves, were deeply grateful to him, but the town looked upon his coming as a great honour. He did hope the boys would remember the speech of the High Sheriff, and have the report preserved by them as a memento of that occasion. Boston was a small place, but Sir Srchibald Weigall could not have been engaged on a much ore important task than he had that afternoon. They in Boston took a pride in their Empire, and a share in its burden, and they realised that one of the greatest responsibilities that rested upon them, as with every community, was to ensure that their youth shall be educated to the highest possible standard. That was impossible until they had the accommodation which had now been provided.		The Mayor proposed a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff.

	Mr J W Gleed, seconded the vote. He expressed the wish that when Ald. Kitwood sent his message to Lord Yarborough, he would say that the County, as well as the Borough of Boston, sympathised with him in his great anxiety. They were very grateful, remarked Mr Gleed, to Sir Archibald Weigall for coming there that day and taking his place. They had listened to a most stirring and forcible speech, and they heartily thanked Sir Archibald for it. (Hear, hear). They also regretted the absence of Mr Simpson, and it was his (Mr Gleed's) devout hope that, although he might not in the future be able to exercise such a great hold in the work of education in the county, Mr Simpson might, at anyrate, be able to come and see the result of the work which he had so ably started.

			===Who has paid?===

			"I suppose you want to know who has paid for this great enterprise," remarked Mr Gleed. "I should like to tell you in a friendly manner that I have paid for it." - (Laughter) - "I am Chairman, and if we have not paid for it we have borrowed." (Laughter). Some years ago he had the pleasure of giving away the prizes at that School (that was before the war, he believed)<ref>JW Gleed presented the prizes at [[Speech Day]] in both 1915 and 1923</ref>, and he then said that he would not be satisfied until Boston had a worthier home for education. He only wished that the Governors had started with a scheme then, for it would have saved a few pounds. What was wanted was that the Headmaster could educate just the average boy. In these difficult days one wanted to bring the boys of this country up to be men and gentlemen. They wanted the boys to hold their own, to go forth and further influence the world, and to be able to say: "I was educated at the Boston Grammar School, and I am absolutely proud of it." (Applause).

			The vote having been carried with acclamation.

			Sir Archibald Weigall announced that he was going to ask Lord Jellicoe to reply, an announcement which afforded the boys at the rear of the hall to indulge in considerable applause.
