As Acting Headmaster, my responsibil­ ities involve the entire school and not just the Upper School which I have served for sixteen years. Any change in leadership is not easy for a school, but I look forward to the coming year with enthusiasm and optimism. Obviously, a headmaster, the administration, and other support staff, are important for a successful year, but the real strength of a good school is its faculty, and Prince­ ton Day School has outstanding teach­ ers. Our main purpose as a school remains the same — to be the very best teachers we can be for our students. I have many goals for the year but basically they can be summarized by saying that I hope we can achieve even greater consistency in meeting our academic standards and continue to improve the quality of community life. We must be critical of ourselves and constantly re-evaluate what we are doing to make certain that Princeton Day School is the exceptional school we want it to be. Princeton Day School is composed of many different people, each with his or her own needs and expectations. To be truly great, the school requires the support and hard work of everyone involved in it. "Support" means caring about the needs of others and being sensitive to differences among people. In an academic institution, respect for ideas is paramount. "Support" also means telling someone when they have done something well and caring enough to offer constructive criticism when appropriate. All too often we have the tendency to stress the negative. We must work harder to correct that. Good communication remains essential. All questions, suggestions and criticisms are valued and appreciated and will receive a prompt response. If we can do something better, we will do so; if we disagree with your opinion we will tell you that, too. But we cannot do any­ clear from our philosophy that we are accomplishment or college placement thing about your concern if we are not a school for all people — we exist to has been outstanding, and we plan to unaware of it and no school, not even serve the above-average student, and work hard to do even better in the PDS, can be all things to all people or the single most important criterion for future. perform miracles. admission is academic ability.

She began her teaching career at Miss Fine's in 1942 and served as Head of the Lower School from 1948-1974. by Elizabeth Willey Samuels MFS '35 One of the rewards of teaching comes from understanding that in the pupil- teacher relationship a social immortal­ ity exists. Values, ideals, and a few tidbits of wisdom will survive through the students if the instructor has been successful. Has anyone counted — or even estimated — the number of pupils Madeline Weigel taught in her forty- three years as kindergarten teacher at Miss Fine's and at PDS? No matter how many there were, it's a certainty that most of them, in one way or another, At her retirement party last June, Madeline posed with alumni sh e’d taught in kindergarten.

  • Hampshire Recusants in the Time of Elizabeth I, with Special Reference to Winchester
    Proceedings of The Hampshire Field Club VOL. XXI, PART II 1959 Hampshire Recusants in the time of Elizabeth I, with special reference to Winchester by JOHN E. PAUL RECUSANT is literally one who refuses. In a special historical sense recusants were those Roman Catholics who refused to attend the service of Common Prayer A in the Church of England, and this was the meaning attached to the term by the Government and the Catholic authorities. Such attendance at Common Prayer was com­ pulsory under the Act of Uniformity of 1559 (1 Eliz. C.2). If a person refused he was liable under that Act to the ' censures of the Church' and also to a fine of twelvepence for every offence. In 1581 under The Act to retain the Queen's Majesty's subjects in their due obedience (23 Eliz. C.l) this fine was increased to the crippling sum of £20 a month, equivalent, perhaps, to something well over £500 today. ' Church-Papists ' were those persons, Catholic at heart, who outwardly conformed by attending the Established service as a formal measure, interpreting such attendance as an act of civil obedience owed to the Crown. Many went to Common Prayer, which was a legal requirement, but shrank from receiving Communion, which was not. (It was, however, an ecclesiastical obligation, and an offender could be excommunicated, suffering any penalties which might arise from such excommunication.) Some, through fear, received Communion. In the second half of Elizabeth's reign outward conformity was practised, ostensibly to escape the severe financial penalties under both the recusancy Act of 1581 and that of 1586-7, to which complete abstention from the services made persons liable.

  • THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH and the ARCHDEACONRY of WINCHESTER in 1562 by A
    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 63 THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH AND THE ARCHDEACONRY OF WINCHESTER IN 1562 By A. W. GOODMAN N the autumn of 1561 Archbishop Parker issued a list of questions on the personnel of their dioceses to the bishops of the Southern I Province. Bishop Home of Winchester made his return to the inquiry early in the summer of 1562 ; it is contained, with others, in MS. 122 at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and I am indebted to the Master and Fellows of Corpus for permission to copy and print it. The Surrey, archdeaconry, under the title of " Surrey Incumbents in 1562," appeared in Surrey Archaeological Collections, Vol. XLV, 1937, with an introduction by Mr Geoffrey Baskerville and with notes largely contributed by him. The rest of the document, containing the cathedral church and the arch­ deaconry of Winchester, is now given to the world by the Hampshire Field Club. In editing it I have had the valuable aid of Mr Basker- ville's Hampshire notebook which he very kindly lent to me. Modern research has greatly reduced the old extravagant estimates of the deprivations of clerics in the Reformation period. In the five years of Mary's reign there were about twenty men deprived in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight; in the first eight years of Elizabeth about thirty. Under Mary marriage, not heresy, was the main cause of trouble ; under Elizabeth failure to take the oath of supremacy. The early years of Elizabeth were certainly an uneasy time in this conservative diocese and especially so in Winchester itself.

Is it exquisitely written ? No literary morsel is more delicious. Is the author. inveterately~ dull? It ..is a kind of preparatory information which may be very useful. It argues a deficiency of taste to turn over an elaborate preface unread : for it is the attar of the author's roses, every drop distilled at an immense cost. It is the reason of the reasoning, and the folly of the foolish." Thus wrote Isaac cl'Israeli; and I must confess to an entire concordance in his sentiments. But I have observed that the custom of prefixing an introduction to a book is fast falling into disuse ; and it has long been one of the 'things generally known ' that the ordinary reader seldo1n takes the trouble to peruse the author's prologue. Being, however, conservative in my notions, and there­ fore somewhat of a laudator temporis acti·, I venture to add a porch to the little building I have here erected, wherein the descendants of the noble families of Henzey, Tyttery, and Tyzack will (to use the ,vords of the illustrious Dugdale) "see very much of their worthy ancestry."
