  • Director of Equity and Inclusion Exeter, New
    DIRECTOR OF EQUITY AND INCLUSION EXETER, NEW HAMPSHIRE Phillips Exeter Academy, an independent, coeducational, residential secondary school, seeks a strategic, visionary, and tactical leader to serve as Director of Equity and Inclusion (hereafter referred to as Director or DEI). The successful candidate will be a collaborative convener and boundary-spanning agent of change with a strong commitment to the core community values and demonstrated experience as a skilled administrator and diversity advocate. Reporting to the Principal (the Chief Executive Officer), the Director will drive strategic initiatives and campus- wide discussions advancing equity and inclusion at Exeter. Working closely with the Principal and other key campus leaders, the Director will build, guide, and assess policies and practices that encourage diversity, equity, and inclusion as a means of bringing the Academy's bold vision to life. Founded in 1781 by John Phillips, Exeter has a tradition of academic excellence, a distinguished faculty, and a long history of educating young people to become dynamic global citizens, in the spirit of empathy and non sibi, or “not for self.” The Harkness method, a distinct pedagogical approach to living and learning at Exeter, is a simple yet revolutionary concept: twelve students and one teacher sit around an oval table and discuss the subject at hand. It begins in the classroom and extends beyond it, to the field, stage, and common room. Exeter offers a high quality education with abundant opportunities for intellectual and personal growth to approximately 1,100 students in grades 9 through post-graduate during the academic year and over 800 students during the summer sessions, well-supported by over 650 highly committed and dedicated faculty and staff.

    1935.] The Famous Dr. Stearns 317 "THE FAMOUS DOCTOR STEARNS" A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF DR. SAMUEL STEARNS WITH A BIBLIOGRAPHY BY JOHN C. L. CLARK' ENJAMIN STEARNS and Dinah Wheeler were B married at Lancaster, in the Massachusetts Bay Province, 11 September, 1738, by the Rev. John Prentice. Benjamin was of Concord, as, too, was Dinah's father, Josiah Wheeler, who migrated to Lancaster about the end of the preceding century. Her mother was Martha Prescott, daughter of John Prescott, Jr., and granddaughter of the founder of Lancaster. The homestead whither Benjamin Stearns came to dwell with his wife's parents lay at the easterly base of Wataquadock Hill, in Bolton, which had been incorporated as a township, from Lancaster territory, in 1738. A path from the door led to the easterly bound "Bay Road"^ running a little to the north of the house. Besides carrying on the farm of a hundred and fifty acres, which his wife inherited from her father three months after their marriage, the husband made, and doubtless mended, shoes, for in deeds he is described as "cordwainer." In one document Mrs. Stearns is called "spinster,"—no meaningless epithet applied to this old-time housewife, among whose possessions when she died were "2 great Wooling Wheels."^ Plenty of wholesome work for the boys and girls born into this New England household! ^Mr. J.C.L. Clark, of Lancaster, Mass., who made a life study of Dr. Samuel Stearns, died at Lancaster, Sept. 6, 1036. «Middlesex Deeds, XXIII, 403.
