FROM THE HEADMASTER

by Duncan W. Ailing

Two years ago 1 introduced my fall journal article with a reference to my responsibility as chairman of my college class's 30th reunion. That event took place this past June thanks in large part to a supportive, hard working group of classmates. During the reunion our class followed through on a pledge made at our 25th reunion to honor our classmate A. Bartlett Giamatti's tenure as president of Yale. Unfortunately, the ceremony had to memorialize Bart. He was a special person in our lifetime, as I am sure anyone who heard him speak at our 1986 graduation can affirm. We honored Bart by placing a marble bench on Yale's old campus. Inscribed on the bench, which has certain base­ ball dugout features, is the following statement by Bart: a Klingenstein Fellowship or a National workshop in New Mexico, while Yves "A liberal education is at the heart Endowment for the Humanities Scholar­ Marcuard and Matilde Yorkshire pur­ of a civil society — and at the heart ship.

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY SILVER CANE WINNER TAKES SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY______

Pretty Brook Farm was the home of Dean Mathey and after his death it was donated to Princeton Day School. Former Headmaster Doug McClure lived there with his family and until this year the building housed several PDS faculty. The house is badly in need of renovation and repair and funds are being sought from foundations for that purpose. The architectural firm of Bob Hillier PCD '52 is in charge of the renovation. When the firm needed the original blueprints of the house and they could not be located at school, Director of Development David Bogle undertook some detective work and located Arthur Holden, the architect who had remodeled the farm in 1929. Through him we learned that the blueprints were in the Cornell University library and were able to get copies. Mr. Bogle was so intrigued by his phone conversations with Mr. Holden that he invited him to visit the school. On ]une 8th Mr. Holden returned to Pretty Brook Farm and charmed everyone he met. It was a delightful afternoon that is chro­ nicled below.
