Foreword Why a Columbus Academy? Indeed, why a private school for secondary education? Perhaps a partial answer to this question is that The Academy can offer a great deal of individual attention to the student. The Academy has an administration chiefly concerned with a studentis progress and his college hopesg a carefully selected fac- ultyg small classes which afford considerable opportunity for teacher-pupil exchangesg varsity and intramural athletics for allg and a wide range of extracurricular ac- tivities. Yet these are just the more obvious aspects of The Academy. lt is difficult to answer in a few phrases why The Columbus Academy can offer an exceptional education. The 1963 Caravel hopes to answer this question by explaining the elements which make up The Academyt

Dedication Mr. Kenneth R. Evans is unquestionably one of the finest teachers The Academy has seen. Yet he is more of a scholar than a teacher. Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year at Yale, he is very well versed in classical Greek and Latin and has spent parts of his summer vacations in New Haven translating new Latin manuscripts. ln conjunction with a local doctor, he has translated a medieval work on skull fractures, De F ractura Cranei. He is also on the Board of Elders of the Broad Street Presbyterian Church. At The Academy his courses have been among the most interesting the members of the Class of '63 have taken. His third-year Latin is as much a philosophy course as a language exercise, and his second-year course is partly a history. Classes with Mr. Evans are always lively, witticisms and unfailing good humor have enlivened virtually all the subjects he has taught. During his career at The Academy he has taught Latin, ancient history, mythology, plane geometry, and developmental reading. He is the school,s dietitian as well, a position in which he has smilingly Weathered a deluge of feeble witticisms about Academy lunches. All of us in the Class of 1963 have great respect for Mr. Evans. His complete grasp of his subject, his informal manner of teaching, and his sym- pathy and interest in his students make him as close to being an ideal teacher as any man we have met. We are proud to dedicate the 1963 Caravel to Mr. Kenneth R. Evans.
