if re Jtrrtrk ICittber damage, A. A. m., 1.01.31. Doctor Frederick Luther Damage, the Headmaster of Pawling, began his eminent career as a schoolmaster immediately upon his graduation from Brown University in 1882. His first position was that of Greek Instructor in the Deleware Academy, Delhi, New York. In 1885 he was elected principal of the Oxford Academy, Oxford, New York, a place which he filled with the greatest success and honor until he was called to the larger and more important task of taking up the headmastership, in 1893, of St. Paul’s Cathe- dral School, Garden City, Long Island, at that time one of the grow- ing and promising Church schools of the East. His success at, St. Paul’s is attested hv the wonderful record which he made during the fourteen years in which he guided its destiny. He came into charge when St. Paul’s was a school of about sixty boys. When he resigned the headmastership in 1907, there was a total registration of over one hundred and eighty boys, with a graduating class of almost sixty. An achievement as great as that is a sure guarantee of future recognition; and he had no sooner made public announce- ment of the fact, during the summer of 1907, that he would open a school the following fall, founded by himself, in Pawling, New York, than it was acclaimed with the intensest interest and enthusiasm by his former patrons and boys everywhere. Consequently he experi- enced no difficulty whatsoever in opening school on the first of Oc- tober, 1907, in the old Dutcher House, at Pawling, with seven masters and eighty-five students. To the untiring efforts and the sincere devotion of this man- Pawling School owes the enviable reputation and phenomenal suc- cess which it has won during the twelve short years of its existence. As headmaster of Pawling, Dr. Damage has worked along lines of scholarship and character building which he knows from long experience will be best for, and will bring out the best in, every boy who comes under his care. He has always been a strong exponent of fair play and high ideals. He has ever tried to instill into the hearts of his boys those fine principles of manhood which are so nobly exemplified in his own character. The reason why he enjoys such splendid and hearty co-operation with the school, and with the Sixth Form in 14
