Views From the Rector's Porch: Lessons of a Headmaster

"Founded in 1856, St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, epitomized the traditional boys' boarding school, until the 1960s shook the nation and St. Paul's experienced a transformation. It welcomed girls within its pale, incorporated the arts into its curriculum, and underwent a progressive renaissance. All this came under the inspired leadership of William A. Oates, the school's eighth rector (as the headmaster is called, reflecting the school's Episcopal affiliation)." This book is an anthology of Oates's diverse writing and records his educational philosophy and his moral.
