who has served Country Day as a teacher for nine years and as headmas- ter for the past twenty. Mr. Davison has been honored by a large banquet giv- en on May 23, 1969, at Stouffer's inn, at which time he received numerous gifts from the students, faculty, alumni, par- ents and friends, and the trustees as a remembrance of the school's apprecia- tion. However, the Archive also would like to express its gratitude to Mr. Davi- son for his outstanding contribution to the school. We believe that he de- serves nothing less than Time's Man of the Year Award. Mr. Davison grew up in the New En- Iand town of Rutland, Vermont, where he attended Rutland High School, graduating in 1923. He then entered Yale, being financed through the Uni- versity by a scholarship, a loan from Yale, and various odd jobs, and ma- jored in English and Latin. His first job as a teacher came in 1927 as the head of the Latin department at Tamalpais School in California. Three years later he moved, with his new wife, Leona Hickox Davison, to Cincinnati, so that he could do graduate work at the Uni- versity of Cincinnati and at the same time teach Latin at Country Day. Al- though the only teacher ever hired without even a meeting with the then headmaster, Herbert Snyder, Mr. Davi- son immediately fitted in with school life and participated in many school events. He initiated a woodworking shop and helped make dramatics a success at Country Day. He also took five or six Freshmen and Sophomores on threenweek trips to Vermont during the summers.
