Classification by forms is based entirely upon the number of units completed. A boy is classified as a Senior When his schedule of Work for the year will bring the total number of units to Hfteen: as a Junior upon the completion of six units. Classification in the other Forms is determined by the record of a boy's Work during the previous year. Credit for completed units may be obtained by any of three methods: CU By examinations under the College Entrance Board. C21 By courses completed in Blair Academy. C33 By courses completed in other schools, accepted either upon recommendation from the other school, or by examina- tions at this School. No credit can be given for college preparatory subjects pursued in another school unless they are acceptable at the candidate's chosen college. In the case of boys who Will not go to college, Blair Academy Will allow credit for only such units as are ordinarily accepted at some college of high standing.

Enrollment is limited to three hundred boys. Applicants are required to give references for testimonials of good character and earnestness. The Academy places great emphasis upon con- scientious endeavor. Preference is given to boys who seem adapt- able to the standards and methods of the School. Those who need unusual restrictions and fail to cooperate will not be allowed to remain. Classification and Instruction Blair Academy offers a six-year course, beginning at the seventh grade. Forms I and II are designated as The Lower School, and cover the work normally pursued in the seventh and eighth grades. These Forms are in charge of masters chosen for special fitness for this work. They not only teach the classes but closely supervise the boys' studies and activities. The Upper School offers twenty-eight courses preparatory to college. It is important that each boy make his choice of subject in accordance with the requirements of his chosen college and the course which he will there pursue. From the beginning each boy's schedule is built to meet this end. Boys who do not expect to go to college, or who have not decided to which college they will go, are guided in their choice of subjects so as to ensure fifteen units of work acceptable at almost any college. There are differences in the requirements of some col- leges, with the result that a boy's choice may be restricted unless his decision is made fairly early in his course at Blair. Twenty-one periods a week of class-room work is regarded as a normal schedule. Sixteen periods is the minimum allowed. Except in special cases not more than twenty-four periods are allowed. One hour a week of Bible study is required of all. In order to graduate, a boy must complete satisfactorily Hfteen units, acceptable to the college of his choice, or approved by the School in the case of boys who will not go to college. The School reserves the right to determine acceptable units, and, as a rule, they must include three in English, two in Al- gebra, one in Plane Geometry, and two in a foreign language. In no case may English count for more than three units. Page twentyftwo BLAIR ACADEMY, BLAIRSTOWN, NEW JERSEY. Uninterrupted attendance is of the utmost importance. Leave of absence is granted not more than twice during each of the three terms, and only to boys whose effort in scholar- ship is satisfactory. School is in session on Saturday until noon. Absence is not permitted until the close of a boy's last recitation period. All appointments with the dentist or doctor should be made so as not to interfere with Saturday classes. The penalty for the use of intoxicating liquors in any form, or for a serious moral offence, is immediate dismissal from the School. When a boy enters the School, it is understood that both he and his parents agree to support all the rules of the institution. When possible, appointments for interviews with the Head- master should be made in advance to prevent delay and to assure sufficient time for satisfactory consultation. A Boy's Necessary Equipment There is no special requirement regarding clothing. Boys are expected to bring suflicient clothing so that attention need not be given to the subject during term time. Each boy is expected to provide: two laundry bags: one rug fpreferably about 3 X 6 feetj 3 four sheets for single bedsg Q 63 X 103 inches! 3 three pillow cases Q42 X 36 inchesj 3 blanketsg one heavy blanket for top covering of bed: plenty of towels: two dresser scarves C16 X 24 inchesy 1 one mattress pad. Blankets and curtains are not supplied by the School. Requirements for Admission Blair Academy does not set entrance examinations. The record submitted by a boy's former school is accepted for tenta- tive classification with the understanding that in the Upper School credit is given for such work as is accepted by the college of his choice. New boys are required to report at the School two days prior to the date of formal opening for classification tests in all subjects in which success is dependent upon previous foun- dations, such as second year French, third year Latin, etc. These tests do not affect a boy's admission to the School, they merely assist in determining without loss of time a boy's assignment to classes for which he is adequately prepared. If foundations prove to be inadequate a boy may be assigned to less advanced Page twentyfone Sfrolls along the walk encircling the lake offer pleasant diversion from study and sports. The winter brings opportunities for skiing, tobogganing, and skating. The youngest boys live in the dormitory known as Ufest Hall, to the left. The Gymnasium, to the right, where the swimming pool, basketball courts, and indoor sport equipment are, attracts the boys in winter. Tennis is a popular sport with sixteen courts in arcrfllrfnt condition in the spring and fall. BLAIR ACADEMY, BLA1RsTowN, NEW JERSEY. and there are frequent reassignments to meet individual pref- erences. There are a few single rooms for boys who prefer to room alone. In the assignment of rooms to new boys account is taken of Form and age, so that roommates may be as con- genial as possible. The entire group of buildings is heated by steam from a central heating plant. The campus and buildings are lighted throughout with electricity. The water supply is from artesian wells drilled to a depth of three hundred feet. There is nothing in school life more important than good food. The School dining-room centrally located in Insley Hall, provides an abundance of well-prepared food suited to the needs of growing boys. No expense is spared to make the table the Very best that can be provided. Fruit, green vegetables, and a plentiful supply of good milk are a part of the regular menu. The places of the boys at tables are changed from time to time, and the atmosphere of the dining-room is one of social friendli- ness. The boys become the friends not only of the masters, but also of the masters' wives and families. The Headmaster and his family have all of their meals in the School dining-room, and thereby keep in close touch with the preparation of food, which is under the direct care of an experienced dietician. The Library The Library occupies the entire main floor of Ivy Hall, and provides a pleasant atmosphere for required reading and the profitable use of leisure time. There are over three thousand volumes, including books of general interest as well as a good selection of standard encyclopaedias and reference books to supplement class-room requirements. The addition each year of books of special interest and the best in current fiction stimu- lates the habit of reading and the formation of literary taste. The reading-room is supplied with a wide assortment of leading magazines and newspapers. The Librarian is always ready to help boys needing suggestions, and is assisted by Seniors in the care and supervision of the Library. In the evening the Library is used as a general study-room, under the supervision of a master, for boys who wish to avail themselves of the quiet atmosphere of the place and to have access to supplementary reading. Page nineteen BLAIR ACADEMY, BLAIRSTOWNN, Nnw Jnnsny. General Regulations The government of the School is made as simple as pos- sible. At all times boys are expected to conduct themselves as gentlemen, controlled more by Blair traditions than by rules. The School reserves the right to dismiss at any time boys who are unable or unwilling to conform cheerfully. There are as few rules as possible and each case of misconduct is treated on its own account with due consideration of a boy's general record. There are, however, a few major principles which the School regards as salient: CU Boys are not permitted to go to any town or village gltside of Blairstown without written permission from the ean. C23 Boys of the Upper Forms who have their parents' permission in writing may smoke if they conform to the School regulations governing the proper time and place. Unauthorized use of tobacco in any form renders a boy liable to immediate dismissal. C3j Radios are not permitted in the boys' rooms. The School owns and operates a high-power radio in the Locke Hall reception room, and all boys have opportunity to listen to in- teresting and valuable contributions broadcast from stations far and near. C45 Boys are not permitted to have cars. Parents may not leave family cars here for use of boys. Permission to ride in automobiles is granted only in cases of necessity or when a boy is with his parents. Blair Academy cannot assume any responsi- bility for accidents under any circumstances. C53 Members of the School are not permitted to leave class- rooms, or study-halls to answer telephone calls, except in cases of emergency. Urgent messages will be delivered by the Head- master's Secretaries. Telephone calls, unless urgent, should not be made after 7:30 p.m., in order not to disturb evening study hour. Parents may reach their sons on the long distance tele- phone, Blairstown 7, if calls are made during the following hours: Week-days: 12:40 to 1:10 p.m. 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sundays: 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. 7:00 to 7:30 p.m. Page twenty J BLAIR ACADEMY, BLAIRSTOWN, NEW JERSEY. familiar with their new environment, and very soon feel at home. Because Blair is a school for boys who are dependable, there are few rules, and there is no system of demerits. Rewards for good workmanship are important. Boys who pass all of their work are given an extra day of vacation at Christmas and in the spring: boys who are on the honor roll at the time of vacation are allowed two extra days. The Student Council is composed of representative boys from each dormitory, elected by the boys themselves. This group confers with the Headmaster and discusses with him the important questions of school life. Where the Boys Live and Work The boys live in dormitories which are under the care of experienced masters. Assignments are made with reference to the age and Form of each applicant. The younger boys are placed in West Hall, where they have more personal care and closer supervision than is required for older boys. This plan provides for a gradual transition from home to the life of the larger group in the higher Forms. Locke, Ivy, Insley, and South Cottage are occupied by the older boys who are below the Senior year. East Hall is the Senior dormitory and accom- modates ninety boys. During the year in East Hall the Seniors are given wider freedom and increased responsibility in the belief that the broader privileges provide the most eH'ective training for the greater freedom of life in college. The transition from too close supervision into the rela- tively complete freedom in college is a dangerous thing, and Blair Academy believes that far more is necessary for prepara- tion for college than fifteen units of academic work in the class- room. A boy must have self-reliance, sound principles of liv- ing, and a keen appreciation of the principles of cooperation and voluntary industry. The rooms in the dormitories are usually designed for two boys, and the School believes that part of a boy's experience should be in learning to adapt himself to an environment in which he must consider others as well as himself. It constitutes a part of a boy's social training. In all cases of conflict of tem- perament or tastes consideration is given to requests for changes, Page eighteen Health of the Boys BLAIR ACADEMY, BLAIRSTOWN, NEW JERSEY THE THE REV. ROBERT J.

Recognizing the absolute necessity of good physical con dition as a basis for satisfactory progress, the School gives most careful attention to the health of the boys. Charts giving the report of the family physician supply primary data regarding any special conditions of a boy's health. Upon entering school each boy has a physical examination before he is assigned to any branch of sport which could possibly cause detriment to his physical progress. The School Physician and Director of Athletics meet every day at the Dispensary, which is open after every meal, and which is centrally located in Insley Hall near the dining-room, to examine any boy who feels at all indisposed or who requires attention to physical needs, however slight the ailment. If a boy is unable to attend classes, he is placed in the Infirmary under the care of a trained resident nurse. A separate building adjacent to the Iniirmary is provided for the care of contagious diseases. The Headmaster is in close touch with all cases of illness. When deemed advisable specialists are summoned in consultation, and in cases requiring special care private nurses are secured at once. Life at Blair At the opening of school in the fall new boys lind a group of old boys waiting to Welcome them, to make them feel at home, and to tell them where to go and how to iind the help and information that they need. Every part of the school life is so organized that new boys do not ind it difficult to become Page seventeen BLAIR ACADEMY, BLAxns'rowN, New Jnasnv. for future appointments. This work is under the guidance of a Master, and the Head of the Department of English assists in reading proof and in guiding the Work in composition. The Press Club lends valuable training to boys interested in publicity Work. The Club reports to the daily papers results of school games and other events of public interest. When pos- sible, items of interest are mailed to local papers in a boy's home town. The Acta, the Year Book of Blair, is published each spring by the Seniors of the Breeze Editorial Board, and contains pictures and articles covering the history of the school year. The Breeze Board publishes also The Hand Book, which gives to every new boy information about school traditions, regula- tions, and activities. The Blair Boy Scouts lind the country around the School excellently adapted to hikes and other outdoor Scout activities. One or two over-night hikes are planned each year, and the boys are most enthusiastic about them. Older boys with previous experience assist a faculty Scoutmaster as leaders, and train the boys for tests which form a part of the program for meetings held weekly in the gymnasium. The Camera Club has an ideal dark-room, well ven- tilated, and equipped With modern apparatus. The beautiful surroundings of the School furnish an attractive field of Work. Many of the illustrations in this catalog Were made from nega- tives and prints finished in the dark-room of the Camera Club by members of the Club. Here too, there is supervision by masters Who understand the common processes of photography. - Music is recognized as an essential part of a boy's cultural development. The choir and glee club provide excellent train- ing in group singing: opportunity is offered to boys with any talent or interest in instrumental music by membership in the orchestra and the band. The School Band is under a master who has unusual talent in this Work and the playing of the band at School games is one of the most pleasant features of these occasions. Out-of-town trips are provided from time to time for each of the musical organizations. Entertainments are provided at frequent intervals during the year, giving the boys a variety of concerts, lectures, and plays. On Saturday evenings the entire School is permitted to Page fifteen BLAIR ACADEMY, BLAIRSTOWN, NEW JERSEY. go to the village moving picture theatre, where every effort is made to secure only such films as are deemed suitable for an audience of boys.

Religious exercises are conducted With simplicity and in a spirit of true reverence for all that is sacred. A brief chapel exercise is held each morning, except Sunday when the entire school attends church in the Village. On Sunday evening there is a service in the School auditorium, at which time there is a brief address, sometimes by one of the masters, fre- quently by speakers from out of town. The Headmaster con- ducts this service once each month. Boys who are members of the Catholic Church are per- mitted to attened Mass on Sunday morning at a nearby town, but transportation is arranged with local taxi drivers at the expense of the boys. This privilege is granted subject to the cooperation of the boys with the rules of the School. Chapel Preachers 1929-1930 THE REV. PAUL HEATH D.D., WilkesfBarre, Pa. THE REV. GEORGE H.

The winter season is seldom severe, but there is frequent opportunity for real Winter sports, and the school campus is naturally adapted to skiing. Trout fishing in the spring is an attraction to many boys, and the streams are abun- dantly stocked each year from the hatchery at Hackettstown. A Variety of Club Activities Monotony in any form is detrimental to the development of initiative and resourcefulness. Extra-curricular activities play a large part in college life, and it is interesting to note that the recent Yale survey shows that boys from preparatory schools of established reputation excel in these activities during their college days. Blair Academy places proper emphasis on oppor- tunities for each boy to develop his individual tastes. The Musical Clubs, the Dramatic Society, the Camera Club, and the School weekly paper are all under the direction of experienced instructors. Latent talent is developed, and boys acquire a knowledge and skill in these departments which may exert a great iniluence upon the whole course of a college career, and surely provide means of happiness during a boy's whole life. The Dramatic Society is conducted under expert coaching, and makes a serious study of drama and dramatic art. In order that as many boys as possible may have a share in this rich opportunity, the Club presents a number of short plays each year, the cast being varied to provide opportunities for all cap- able members. The boys of the Lower School have their own Dramatic Club. The three Literary Societies of the School, Adelphi, Chi Epsilon Chi, and Congress CLower School Societyj, are con- ducted under parliamentary procedure, and meet weekly. One of the most important social events of the year is the contest on Washington's Birthday between the two Upper School societies. This is the occasion also of the midwinter dance. The Blair Breeze, issued weekly, is the student publica- tion, and has been a training school for many boys who have been prominent in the work of college periodicals. The Breeze Board consists of twenty boys who have earned their appoint- ments. There are usually about twenty-live boys competing Page fourteen BLAIR ACADEMY, BLAIRSTOWN, NEW JERSEY. Broad Athletic Program The importance of physical education is being recognized more and more both in school and college life. In the days of our fathers emphasis was placed on the development of mind at the expense of physical well-being. It is necessary, however, to draw a line between wise training and over-indulgence in competitive athletics. Blair Academy offers a wide variety of sports, coached by masters and adapted to the age and stature of the boys. Those who are not able to participate in the more vigorous forms of athletics are assigned to groups for which Wholesome outdoor interests are provided Without strenuous exertion. At the open- ing of each season of the year the boys choose their sport, and the athletic program is sufficiently diversified to suit all tastes. The winter term is particularly important in school life. At Blair the activities are varied, including not only winter sports in the open, such as skiing, tobogganing, and skating, but also the use of a well-equipped gymnasium, with basketball, wres- tling, boxing, swimming, indoor track, and fencing. Blair Lake is of ample size to accommodate the entire school. There are four gridirons, three diamonds, sixteen tennis courts, and a quarter-mile cinder track, with expert coaching in every branch of sport. Blair Academy has its own nine-hole golf course, totalling 3100 yards. The members of the School may use the golf course without charge. Regular exercise is required of all boys who are not exempt for special reasons. Pour days each week all kinds of outdoor sports are conducted by masters particularly qualified to train boys in their games. For boys not qualified for more active exercise, cross-country hikes are led by masters. The country around Blairstown abounds in small lakes, mountain streams, and unfrequented country roads. Mountain climbing is in- cluded in the program. The keen interest provided by competitive games extends to all boys. The Varsity teams in all branches of sport appeal to the interest of all, but inter-dormitory games at all seasons of the school year arouse the active participation of every boy. Teams are graded according to age and stature of the boys. Even Page thirteen .nm A lively scrimmage calls out Hze best efforts of the players. No athletic contest is complete without the School Band. BLAIR ACADEMY, BLAIRSTOWN, NEW JERSEY. University of Pennsylvania, Williams, Amherst, Colgate, Uni- versity of Virginia, Brown, Leland Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Annapolis, and many other colleges and universities. Close cooperation between masters and boys is one of the fundamental features of the School. Masters and their families have their meals in the School dining-room at tables with the boys, and to the friendly and intimate contact between boys and masters outside the classroom much of the success of the School is due. The ancient conception of a master as a remote, austere being has never been characteristic of Blair. The Headmaster, believing in the policy of personal in- terest in every boy, has his oiiice in the recitation building, Where he is accessible at periods of the day When boys are free to bring their problems and find sympathy and encouragement. It is the constant aim of every master not merely to impart in- formation to his pupils, but, more important, to teach each boy how to overcome his difliculties, how to acquire an active, rather than a passive, attitude toward his Work, so that he may master the art of reaching out and gaining knowledge for himself. The program of study at Blair is ilexible. If a boy com- ing from another school proves to be Weak in certain subjects, he is assigned to classes adapted to his needs regardless of Form classification. A boy is not required to pursue his studies entirely within the curriculum of any one Form. Reclassiication in any subject may be determined at any time. Reports It is the policy of the School to keep both boys and parents informed of class-room standing. Complete reports are sent to parents at intervals of five weeks: mid-year and hnal reports are based upon the Work of the entire course to that date. Additional reports of subjects in which a boy is failing to do satisfactory work are Bled every three Weeks for the in- formation of the Scholarship Committee, the Dean, and the Headmaster, and upon these reports are based all assignments to supervised study-hour. If a boy's Work is entirely satis- factory and his effort commendable, he is permitted to study in his own room. Page twelve BLAIR ACADBMY, BLAIRSTOWN, New JERSEY. educational training of the highest type, but a glorious place in which to live. The spirit of happiness which pervades the place is indicative of health and sound living. From New York Blairstown lies sixty-ive miles West on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, and may also be reached by the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad. The distance from Philadelphia is eighty-live miles. The most direct route by rail is over the Belvidere division of the Pennsylvania lines to Portland, Pa., where automobiles may be taken for the remaining nine miles to Blairstown. Excellent roads through picturesque scenery render motor- ing attractive. Prom the vicinity of New York motorists should come through Dover, N. J., and from there either by way of Hackettstown or Newton. From Philadelphia the best route is through Easton, Pa., and Bridgeville, N. J. There are three inns at Blairstown. The altitude of the campus, which covers three hundred and ten acres, is nearly six hundred feet. The climate is in- vigorating and the location one of unusual beauty. The School property has all the charm of Woods, athletic iields, wide lawns, and a lake. Preparation for College The preparation of a boy for the college or technical school of his choice is the main objective of such a school as Blair Academy. To create intellectual appreciation and a cultural background is Blair's objective for boys who do not plan to go into higher fields of academic training. The growing number of boys seeking a college education and the increasing exactions of the terms of admission to college make the task of preparatory training very diilicult. Additional effort is demanded on the part of both the masters and the boys. Careful study must be made of each boy's aptitudes and qualilications, and latent talent must be discovered and de- veloped. That the School has been successful in meeting these demands is shown by the fact that there are graduates of Blair Academy in Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth, Lafayette, Lehigh, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Page eleven The wallf from the injirrnary to the campus in the spring time.

Blair, in cooperation with several of his neighbors, founded Blair Academy as a small day school, for the purpose of bringing educational advantages to the children of the community. Almost immediately students from a dis- tance, attracted by the high standards of the School and by the inspiration of such unusual opportunity, sought admission: and in 1850 an additional building, known as Blair Hall, was erected for the accommodation of boarding students. To meet increasing needs in the growth of the School, gifts of land and new buildings were added from time to time, bringing the Academy to its present complete equipment. Founded amid such surroundings, it is not surprising that the record of the School through eighty-two years has been one of steady and successful growth. Physically it has expanded from one small schoolhouse to its present magnificent property of three hundred and ten acres, With its group of modern build- ings, its gymnasium, and athletic lields. Whereas originally the pupils came from Blairstown only, today its pupils, numbering more than three hundred, come from many sections of our own country and from several foreign lands. For a period of more than iifty years Mr. John I. Blair was the School's constant friend and benefactor. Upon his death his son, Mr. DeWitt Clinton Blair, more than duplicated his father's gifts in buildings and endowment. Through the generosity of alumni and friends the original endowment has been increased, until now the School offers the best educational advantages at a reasonable cost and provides special oppor- tunities for boys of serious purpose and good character. Blair Academy is incorporated under a Board of Trustees. For many years the School was co-educational, but in 1915, to meet changed conditions and requirements in preparatory schools of this type, action was taken by the Board of Trustees to limit the enrollment to boys only. In the Highlands of New jersey On a hill above the village of Blairstown, surrounded by the highlands of the Kittatinny range, Blair offers not only an Page ten The Spirit of Blair Academy ITUATED in the highlands of New Jersey, with ,5'Q'zg',2f,-Qs the Delaware Water Gap visible from the campus and the Blue Mountains only five miles away, the location of Blair Academy, from the standpoint both of health and beauty, is ideal. No boy, in his impressionable years, could fail to respond to the environ- ment and atmosphere of the place. The success of its boys in college and the record of its graduates in high places of business and professional life are tributes to the position which Blair holds in the educational World. Blair Academy is primarily devoted to the broad develop- ment of the individual boy in adequate preparation for college, or business, with particular emphasis upon self-reliance and initiative directed by appreciation of opportunity and a sense of responsibility. Though Blair has developed, in eighty-three years, from a small local school into one of the leading academies in the East, physical and numerical expansion is not its foremost aim. Of far greater importance is the maintaining of a definite tradition that Blair builds healthy bodies, active minds, and, above all, character, not keeping a boy down by forcing him to conform to a multitude of petty regulations, but giving him every oppor- tunity, Within reasonable limits, to stand upon his own feet, and in the Wholesome atmosphere of the School to see the merits of clean living, of fair-play in sports, and of systematic atten- tion to the day's Work. This threefold objective of the School for every boy is the building of a student, a sportsman, and a gentleman. The spirit of the School is essentially democratic, with recognition of personal worth and qualities of leadership. Boys come to Blair from many different sections of our land, and from several foreign countries, representing many different types of environment. From the sharing of experiences With friends and acquaintances in the contacts of daily life, there is developed tolerance, understanding, and a broader appreciation of life's values.
