F= IT he I91T era'll Dm'tnr (Satnagr Doctor Frederick Luther Gamage, Headmaster of the Pawling School, is a graduate of Brown University. From this institution, he received, in 1882, the degree of Bachelor of Arts; and from Hobart College, in 1898. the degree of Doctor of Civil Law. From 1882 to 1885. lie taught Greek at the Delaware Academy in Delhi, New York; and from 1885 until 1803, he was principal of the Oxford Academy, New York. Doctor Gamage then became Headmaster of St. Paul's School, Garden City, Long Island. He remained there for a period of four- teen years, to 1907, when he founded at Pawling, New York, the school of which he is now Headmaster. To Doctor Gamage, Pawling owes everything. He is responsible for the growth and success of the school. Throughout the ten years of its remarkable existence, Doctor Gamage has guided the school with ever-present insight and fairness. A strong advocate of the honor system, he has developed it broadly throughout the school. He has taught every Pawling boy ideals which he will remember all his life. The Doctor has always worked hard with every Sixth Form, en- couraging and guiding at all times. It is for this reason that the first aim of every Sixth Form is complete cooperation with him. To him, not as headmaster, but as friend and adviser, has every boy come to look. It is fitting that some tribute should be paid to the man who has made Pawling what she is, and Pawling’s yearbook seems the most fitting place for such a tribute. The school is grateful to him for all he has done and for all that he does. His love and devotion for us is answered by our love and devotion for him. 8
