Jfn'itrrirk IGullu'r (ganutgp A.A. m.. S. (E. if. Doctor Frederick Luther Gamage, 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 Delaware Academy, Delhi, New York. In 1885 he was elected principal of the Oxford Academy, Oxford, New V ork, 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 Cathedral School, Garden City.

As headmaster of Pawling, Dr. Gamage 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.
