Vol. XXXIX , Deerfield, Mass., May 8, 1965 Number 11 Trustees Announce Fund Campaign Committee Seeks 820 Million For Endowment, Building

by Frank Reynolds Deerfield's Board of Trustees announced at noon today the initiation of a $20 million fund raising campaign, the largest ever attempted by an independent secondary school. Of the $20 million, $15 million will be used as permanent endowment and $5 million will be set aside for building. Mr. Ellis L. Phillips, Jr. '38, who is to head the drive, made the announcement at the parents' luncheon, and gave an outline of the Fund Raising Committee's objectives. The plan has developed out of a search- ing analysis of Deerfield Academy's strengths and weaknesses Its aim is to raise $15 million by Com-4-- mencement time, 1968, and the re- mainder before Deerfield's Sesqui- centennial Anniversary in 1972. Much of the money, the Committee expects, will have to be obtained from individual friends of Deerfield, parents of Deerfield boys, and a- lumni.

A Lasting Education

"I doubt if there is another school anywhere in the world 'where a boy can spend just one year and go away with the permanent feeling that the place is an important part of him." —John A. McPhee '49

A full education is more than classroom instruction and intellectual advancement. It is the painful exertion in the final mile of a cross-country race. It is the de- bater's poise under a barrage of cross-questions. It is the searching exchange of ideas with a responsive mas- ter. It is the lazy spring afternoon spent at the river. It is the imperceptible instilling of integrity and a sound sense of values — the development of qualities invalu- able in any field of endeavor. This is the essence of the Deerfield experience. The underlying philosophy of Deerfield Academy is to inculcate a firm grasp on fundamentals as preparation for responsible citizenship. This goal of producing con- fident leaders is attained mainly through an insistence on quality and thoroughness and through the overall ef- fect of daily and extra-curricular responsibilities. It is advanced by a faculty who, being totally involved in the lives of their students, create an unusually personal at- mosphere. Their dedication is evident in coaching and entertaining as well as in instructing and counseling. A DYNAMIC PHYSICAL PLANT offers unparalleled opportunities . These basic concepts are complemented by oppor- tunities for pursuing individual interests in a variety of areas. Outside speakers and special programs contrib- ute to the enrichment. Such an education would not be possible without a modern and always expanding physical plant. Deerfield's facilities provide for a vast assortment of activities and are among the finest available; but the value is dependent upon continuing improvement. And yet, despite its constant diversion and develop- ment, there remains something unique and permanent about Deerfield in the minds of its students and alumni . . .

. for keen athletic competition . .

. . for investigation by inquisitive minds . . and for establishing enduring relationships. 6 THE DEERFIELD SCROLL May 8, 1965

Unsurpassed In Building Character .

-It is more than just book-learning that makes a place such as Deerfield unique." —Richard A. Hunter '40

INTENSE INDIVIDUAL EFFORT yields a unique sense of personal satisfaction.

REVERENCE AND HUMILITY complement the competitive spirit of the classroom and playing field.

THE INDIVIDUAL learns the value of team cooperation in rugged competition.

DEBATING SHARPENS intellectual reaction and perception.

FREQUENT MEETINGS foster a feeling of school unity and community responsibility. May 8, 1965 THE DEERFIELD SCROLL 7

THE GLEE CLUB'S impressive performance and appearance reflect the school's concern for quality and thoroughness. .. .Leadership And Confidence

"The Headmaster's leadership in asking boys to 'Aim High' is an exhilarating and lasting experience. How is this accomplish- ed? By his quiet, determined approach to the boys and faculty for excellence in all aspects of life." —Carl P. Ray '33

MAKING VISITORS feel at home requires poise and congeniality.

REACHING FOR that high note typifies the struggle for self-perfection.

LEADERSHIP learned on the field . .

. . also applicable is in the classroom. WAITING ON is like no other experience. 8 THE DEERFIELD SCROLL May 8, 1965

Stimulated By A Dedicated Faculty

"The great average length of service of Deerfield's faculty has always been regarded by the alumni as an expression of personal devotion to an ideal equivalent to that of the Boydens themselves." —Samuel L. Lowe, Jr. '33

THE MASTER'S CONCERN for his student's full development reveals itself in the dramatics of classroom presentation . . .

. in his year-round service as a coach . .

. . and in his capacity as mentor, host, and friend.

A FACULTY MEMBER'S most influential role is as a counselor and friendly conversant.

BY PROVIDING SPECIAL HELP, the teacher insures the proper development of an analytical mind. May 8, 1965 THE DEERFIELD SCROLL 9

OUTSTANDING SPEAKERS such as Charles Percy . .

. and the opportunity to share views with foreign visitors, as in the December United Nations Symposium, spark interest in current domestic and international affairs.

Enriched Through Diversification

"Deerfield has ever been a forerunner in its emphasis on extra-curricular activities." —Samuel L. Lowe, Jr. '33

INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE has vastly expanded the program of the Rocketry and Astronomy Club . .

. .. and has resulted in the creation of new organizations, the Collegium Musicum . . .

. . .and the extraordinarily successful American Studies Group.

EVERYONE has the chance to pursue his own varied interests. 1() THE DEERFIELD SCROLL May 8, 1965

Brightened By A Varied Atmosphere

"The best years of your life are those years you spend in prep school." —Richard A. Hunter '40

THE EXHILARATION of the Choate Rally is an experience few will forget.

BEING CARRIED by the current of the Deerfield River has become an Academy springtime tradition.

"THERE HAVE BEEN FEW great headmasters who, like Mr. Boyden, have really understood boys and their parents." —Samuel L. Lowe, Jr. '33

THE SPIRIT of healthy rivalry and enthusiasm carries over into an informal touch football game.

THE WINTER TERM has been considerably brightened by the existence of an indoor hockey rink.

In A Continually Developing Environment

"Without its magnificent physical plant Deerfield could not put its educational ideals into action." —Frank B. Conklin '33

THE BRUCE BARTON DORMITORY is the newest housing addition to a constantly improving campus. 12 THE DEERFIELD SCROLL May 8, 1965

A BOY'S RELATIONSHIP with Deerfield does not stop with Commencement.

CONTACT IS MAINTAINED through a highly efficient alumni office.

Sustained By Proud Alumni

"Deerfield graduates have toward one another, despite the difference in graduation years, a sincere camaraderie, and this feeling is unified into an extra- ordinary affection for the school. The alumni's de- votion to the school is exceeded only by the school's devotion to the alumni." —Samuel L. Lowe, Jr. '33 THE RETURN OF ALUMNI such as the Class of 1940 to share views with each other and with the student body expresses the Sharing emotions and activities with 500 others feeling of pride and loyalty. creates pride in and loyalty to the school. Each depart- ing senior retains this feeling and is kept in close contact through an efficient alumni organization. The tremend- ous number of alumni visitors testifies to their lasting affection. Very few schools, if any at all, can claim such devoted graduates. The success of the Class of 1940, which convened here April 23 and 24 for its twenty-fifth reunion, is vivid proof that the Academy achieves its goal. To con- tinue to give boys the advantages of the Deerfield ex- perience necessitates substantial alumni support. The school is now embarking on a program to further its leadership and prominence. To quote John H. Suitor '34, "We have never been more optimistic or more ex- cited about the future of Deerfield Academy."

THE MEMBERS of the Class of 1940 have enjoyed significant and widespread success.
