Breck had been a good school, but it has been said that in the 40's the school became slightly stagnant. By the early 50's it was evident that a change was needed to revitalize the school. The change started with the appointment of a new Headmaster, the Reverend Canon F. Douglas Henderson, in 1953 and was continued as the school moved to a new campus in 1956. In its new location Breck took on a new look, with a revised curriculum, and stiffer entrance requirements. The new look also included a new school uniform after the military program was dropped in 1959. SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS Now in its 75th year, Breck is still changing, or better yet, progressing. Its academic excellence is assured by an up-to-date college preparatory curriculum thot is being improved whenever possible. This curriculum is taught by a dedicated faculty who give the students more than just an academic education. Its athletic program is handled by some of the best coaches avail- able and, with their help, Breck's overall record is improving. The students of Breck are boys of high caliber, and individually and collectively they ore among the best. It is hoped that in the next seventy-five years, Breck will continue to grow as it has, and thot its students will always, as they are now, be proud to be a part of this school.

Breck started as the dream of an Episcopal priest and educator, the Reverend Dr. James Lloyd Breck. The dream was thot of a school which would provide a good education for the sons and daughters of farmers deprived of learning by conditions on the prairie. It was made a reality by the Reverend Dr. David Griffin Gunn, who received a charter from the state govern- ment for such a school to be conducted under the auspicies of the Episcopol Church. He opened the Breck Mission and Farm School at Wilder, Minnesota in 1886. By 1915, However, public education had come to the prairie, and the need for Breck had passed. Its farsighted leaders then decided that Breck belonged in a lorge city. BRECK SCHOOL’S Accordingly, in 1917, Breck School was re-opened in St. Paul near the University Farm Campus. It grew so rapidly that by 1921 it was forced to move to a new and larger location at Como and Hendon Avenues. The school, then under the direction of Dr. Charles Edgar Haupt, grew until it had an enrollment of 350 boys who were offered a college preparatory curriculum stressing history, sciences, math, and English. Religion and athletics were included to balance the program. The approach of World War II shifted this emphasis somewhat when a full military training program was introduced in 1941.
