IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE SCHOOL i. The School is situated in the most healthful region east of the Mississippi River, in a climate giving the largest oppor- tunity for year-round outdoor life. i. The extensive campus, in the midst of a wooded tract many miles in extent, comprises athletic fields, ponds, streams, forests, and hills. The site was chosen not only for its suit- ability, but also for the impressive beauty of its surroundings. 3- The buildings were constructed especially for school pur- poses and are thoroughly sanitary. They are of brick and stone, with fireproof stairways. The main buildings are equipped with automatic sprinklers. 4 The masters are college graduates, chosen for their fitness to instruct and care for boys. 5- The School is small enough to insure intimate fellowship between faculty and boys, yet large enough to give scope to a variety of interests outside of the academic work. 6. The School is known for the great personal care given the boys. 7 • The courses of study, though broad, are consistent, and give the best preparation to boys who desire to enter any college or technical school or to go into business. 8. The religious influence of the School is non-sectarian, but is strongly Christian, the aim being to make attractive to boys, by both precept and example, the life and teachings of Christ. A graduated course in Bible study and social ethics, non-academic and strongly related to the needs of modern living, is given in each of the six Forms.
