HAUPT HALL HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY Brcck School was founded in 1886 in Wilder, Minnesota under the auspices of the Episcopal Church, Diocese of Minnesota. The school was named in honor of the Reverend James Lloyd Brcck, a pioneer missionary in the early history of the Northwest. Through his untiring efforts, vision, and foresight, opport uni ties for a Christian Education were made available to many young people at Brcck and other schools in the state. In 1917 the school was moved to St. Paul, where it has helped to educate hundreds of young men throughout the Twin City area. Brcck believes the central theme and heart of the school is its spiritual life. It is this that permeates the whole, bringing the boy in right relationship with his God and with his community. It is the responsibility of the school to know the whole boy and in understanding him to help him understand himself. Chapel services arc held for all boys every day and constitute a vital part of the school life. There is no attempt to change a boy’s faith but rather to strengthen it. It is expected that he will go to the church of his choice regularly. The faculty attends, and participates, in the daily chapel services which brings the entire school community together to start every new day. Brcck recognizes the importance of giving a fhor-ough preparation for college and life through a harmonious blending of all facets that make up the life of every boy. The aim, therefore, is to make of a boy’s years at Brcck a rich experience in which he discovers and develops his |K tcniiaIitics as a person and as a member of a friendly school community. The School tries to create an atmosphere that expresses its ideals of simple, disciplined living; of hard, honest work, and informal, sincere friendliness. Boys come to recognize and appreciate these aims as they live and practice them. As he works and grows in such an atmosphere a boy usually experiences the desire to make the most of his educational opj orruni tics and strives to live up to his capacities. For every boy to do the best he can with what he has is the aim and hojK of Brcck School.
