LUDLOW H. BALDWIN On September 10, 1965, Gilman School began its sixty-sixth year. Old and new students as- sembled for the first time in the auditorium and were addressed by the schools new headmaster, Mt. Ludlow Baldwin. This year Mr. Baldwin, with the aid Of the faculty, has successfully started Gilman on a new administration. The retirement of Mr. Gallard and five of the school's most devoted and beloved members necessitated many changes, which have been carried out smoothly. Ludlow H. Baldwin is the ninth headmaster 0f Gilman. A graduate of the school in the class of 1922, he went on to Johns Hopkins University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree. From here he went to the Harvard Law School, which conferred upon him the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1929. Mr. Baldwin then went into business, eventu- ally becoming the President of the Terminal Warehouse Company in the early thirties. During this period, he was honored by being elected President of the Junior Association of Commerce, and his fellow Gilman alumni selected him to be president of the Alumni Association. When World War II broke out, he entered the Navy as a seaman, serving in both the Atlantic and the Pacific, and emerged a lieutenant commander. Mr. Baldwin joined the Gilman faculty in 1946 to teach American and ancient history and shortly thereafter obtained his Masters degree. In 1955, he was appointed dean, and has served as acting headmasret on two occasions. Mr. Baldwin comes to the position of head- master with exceptional experience and brings to this Office a rare blend of the qualities of scholar, business executive, and leader. He is notable for his good fellowship and fine sense of humor, as well as his understanding of youth and its prob- lems.
