As we reflect on the 2015-2016 academic year, I thought I would take a moment to share my appreciation for the generosity of spirit that has become a hallmark of the Saint James School community. As many of you know, we are a small school. As such, our alumni, parent, and donor base is modest in size. And yet, each year, because of each donor, because of each and every one of you, we meet our annual fund goal, celebrate contributions to capital campaigns—in this case, a new fine arts center—and make strides toward raising the School’s endowment. This is because we care about this modest, yet extraordinary institution that has touched our lives and the lives of those we love, including our friends, our children, and our grandchildren, in innumerable ways. This deep and abiding sense of caring has not changed since I attended Saint James in the 1960’s. At that time, we had a dedicated faculty and staff, a close-knit community, and a multitude of academic, athletic, and extracurricular activities. Masters and prefects were inspiring and exemplary leaders and role models, setting an example for underclass students. Our Mummer’s led many wonderful productions and students like me were empowered to excel in every area of school life, and to try new things. Glee Club, Newspaper Club, Yearbook Club, a Historical Society, a Literary Society, and a Math Society, Choir, and a student vestry were just some of the ways students could contribute, serving something greater than themselves. We were proud of our small school and of our ability to strive to be better students, athletes, musicians, and artists for the good of society beyond the boundaries of campus. Generations of students continue to seize these opportunities, and to take part in long-held Saint James School traditions. All of these opportunities are indeed, gifts from above. Today, the curriculum is more diverse, as is the student body. Students are engaged in community service opportunities that make a difference in the lives of others. New opportunities and gifts abound. Yet, we have in common a similar atmosphere of cooperation, achievement, community, and spirituality. We are all privileged to be a part of Saint James—and that is the greatest gift of all. Respectfully yours, Lud L. Ludington Sells Board President and Chairman 5 6 From the Headmaster Dear Friends and Supporters of Saint James School Dear Friends and Supporters of Saint James School, The theme for this year’s Annual Report comes from the School’s motto, which was taken by our founders Bishop William Whittingham and the Rev. Dr. William Augustus Muhlenberg from the Epistle of Saint James in 1842: “Every good gift and every perfect act of giving is from above.” We chose this theme because in gathering and publishing this report we are acknowledging “every good gift” that you have given over the past school year. We are thereby acknowledging you as the “givers” and also pointing to all the good which your “good gifts” are doing and have done. Donors to Saint James support the School in three very significant ways: • They give to the operating fund every year through their Annual Fund support and through gifts supporting financial aid and special programs. • They give to capital projects such as the new faculty duplex which we are now building, the new Fine Arts Center, which we plan to begin building this spring, and the new Athletics Center, which is next in the “pipeline.” • They give, most often in their estate planning, to the school’s endowment in order to guarantee the future of Saint James and to provide more resources for faculty salaries and financial aid. All of this giving is vital to the quality of what we do here at Saint James. Our operating budget would be greatly diminished without the Annual Fund. Our campus would fail to improve, and we would frankly fail to “keep up” as a school without donor support for our capital projects. Finally, we will not have the resources we need in the future, for financial aid in particular, if we do not continue to grow our endowment. And this is why all of you who give are so important to us, why we as a school are so very grateful. We simply cannot sustain, improve, and build Saint James without your continuing support. Thank you so very much. Yours faithfully, The Revd. D. Stuart Dunnan, D. Phil Headmaster 7 ANNUAL FUND GIFT AND RECOGNITION CLUBS ANNUAL FUND GIFT AND RECOGNITION CLUBS We would like to recognize the following donors for their participation in annual giving and for their support of the School.

  • 1 the New Monasticon Hibernicum and Inquiry Into
    THE NEW MONASTICON HIBERNICUM AND INQUIRY INTO THE EARLY CHRISTIAN AND MEDIEVAL CHURCH IN IRELAND Launched in October 2003 under the auspices of the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences, the ‘Monasticon Hibernicum’ project is based in the Department of Old and Middle Irish at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth, Co. Kildare. Central to the project is a database of the native Early Christian and Medieval (5th to 12th centuries AD) ecclesiastical foundations of Ireland - managed by research fellows Ailbhe MacShamhráin and Aidan Breen, under the general direction of Kim McCone, professor of Old and Middle Irish. A longer-term goal is to produce a dictionary of the Early Christian churches, cathedrals, monasteries, convents and hermitages of Ireland for which historical, archaeological or placename evidence survives. The title of the project pays tribute to Mervyn Archdall’s Monasticon Hibernicum; but what is envisaged here goes beyond revision of such antiquarian classics.1 The comprehensive character of this new Monasticon (the database already features a number of sites which are indicated solely by historical, or by archaeological, or placename evidence), along with its structure and referencing, will make for more than a general reference book. It is envisaged as a research-tool to further inquiry in the fields of history (helping to illuminate, for example, ecclesiastico-political relationships, pre-reform church organisation, the dissemination of saints’ cults and gender-politics in the Irish church) and settlement studies - as illustrated below with reference to some of the Leinster data. The first phase of the project, carried out during the academic year 2003-04, has focused on the ecclesiastical province of Dublin – which includes the dioceses of Dublin itself, Glendalough, Ferns, Kildare, Leighlin and Ossory.

Subsequent excavations identified at least 14 individuals in and around 13 mortuary features. Skeletal preservation was poor, but human remains from at least three males, one female, and eight adults were buried in the facility. Artifacts, including pins, wrought nails, and decomposed wood, indicated they were placed in shrouds and coffins and then deposited in the facility during the eighteenth century. These correspond to mid to late eighteenth century dates provided by displaced headstones found buried nearby in twentieth- century fill. Historical records document a small colonial period cemetery in the area; the Sprott Cemetery was formed by some of the first settlers in Mecklenburg County, representing members of the Sprott, Barnett, Bigham, McKnight, Johnston, and Peel families.

  • A History of St. Augustine's Monastery, Canterbury
    H Distort of St Huaustine's Monastery Canterbury. BY The Reverend R. J. E. BOGGIS, B.D. Sub- Warden of St. A ugustinfs College. Canterbury : CROSS & JACKMAN, 1901. PREFACE. Churchman or the Antiquarian cannot but feel THEa pang of regret as he turns over the pages of such a work as Dugdale's Monasticon, and notes the former glories of the Religious Houses of England before the hand of the spoliator, had consigned them to desecration and ruin. Some of these homes of religion and learning have entirely disappeared, while others are represented by fragments of buildings that are fast crumbling to decay; and among these latter possibly even among the former would have been counted St. Augustine's, had it not been for the pious and public-spirited action of Mr. A. J. Beresford Hope, who in 1844 purchased part of the site of the ancient Abbey, and gave it back to the Church of England with its buildings restored and adapted for the require- ments of a Missionary College. The outburst of en- thusiasm that accompanied this happy consummation of the efforts of the Reverend Edward Coleridge is still remembered not a few devout Church by people ; and there are very many besides, who rejoice in the fresh lease of life that has thus been granted to the PREFACE. old Foundation, and are interested in the service that is now being here rendered to the English Church of modern times. Such persons may like to have the opportunity of tracing the varied fortunes of the St. Augustine's of former ages, and I have therefore en- deavoured to set forth a sketch of its history during the 940 years of its existence as a Religious House, till the day when the Crown took possession of the Church's property, and "St.
