Hotchkiss: A Chronicle of an American School

Hotchkiss: A Chronicle of an American School by Kolowrat, Ernest. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781561310586.

How has the Hotchkiss School managed to accommodate a hundred years of unprecedented change-a century during which horse-and-buggy trails have become less familiar than the fiery trails of space-bound vehicles, and Victorian propriety has yielded to unabashed self-expression? The short answer-carefully; certainly not without considerable tension and the constant need to mediate between the forces of tradition and innovation. Oh yes, also by following the golden rule: do not disturb the cherished memories of alumni-and, more recently, of alumnae as well.
