The Headmaster: Frank L. Boyden of Deerfield Tapa dura - 1966

de John McPhee


Acerca de este libro

Starting in 1902 at a country school that had an enrollment of fourteen, Frank Boyden built an academy that has long since taken its place on a level with Andover and Exeter. Boyden, who died in 1972, was the school's headmaster for sixty-six years. John McPhee portrays a remarkable man "at the near end of a skein of magnanimous despots who...created enduring schools through their own individual energies, maintained them under their own absolute rule, and left them forever imprinted with their own personalities." More than simply a portrait of the Headmaster of Deerfield Academy, it is a revealing look at the nature of private school education in America.

Descripción:
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1966. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. First printing. With a non-authorial gift inscription dated 1967 on the FFEP ("Happy Birthday Arthur!"). Near fine book with minor wear to top and bottom of spine and very light foxing to upper face of text block. A very good, price-clipped jacket because of a slim band of foxing/curling to upper edge (most noticeable on flaps) and two short tears to upper left corner of front panel, the largest a half inch. The front and back panels are otherwise clean and present great. From collection of Arthur P. Morgan, a friend of McPhee, who worked in finance, was a fellow Deerfield Prep and Princeton University graduate, and then a neighbor. Among other civic activity, Morgan was on the board of the Princeton Public Library.
