Millville is the nickname given to the community of buildings that makes up the St. Paul's Campus. It is also a term that is used frequently on campus in reference to the school, especially when the rector addresses the student community regarding on-campus issues. The school is known for its many longstanding traditions. For example, near the start of the school year - on a sunny, crisp Fall day - the Rector announces an unplanned "Cricket Holiday" in morning Chapel. Classes are cancelled for the day and the students participate in a variety of fun activities, plus rest and relaxation. The Cricket Holiday dates back to the first Rector, Henry Augustus Coit, who preferred cricket over baseball as a "more refined sport." Students who participate in "club" sports (intramural) at St. Paul's are assigned to one of three teams for their entire school careers - "Isthmian," "Delphian" or "Old Hundred." If a graduate's descendent attends the school, he or she is assigned to the same club.
