Mr E Laurence Springer remains today as youthful and modern in his ideas as he was when he first came to Pingry in 1936 With Mr Springer at the helm Pingry has risen from a small preparatory school with limited facilities to a new well equipped, and na tionally recognized school whose graduates can be found un many of America s top colleges Our Headmaster however is more than lust a figurehead or a fund raiser Rather he is a warm and personable individual who takes a great personal interest in the boys. Although his is a very busy day Mr. Springer is always willing to take a few minutes to speak with a boy or master should a problem arise. This constant effort on behalf of our Head- master has won unending admiration for him among all members of the Pingry family. As with everything at Pingry, Mr. Springer is con- stantly improving, not only himself but his school as well. Evidence of this is the honorary degree of Doc- tor of Letters awarded him by Princeton University and the construction of a new science wing for the school. Certainly Mr. Springer symbolizes Pingry and the growth of its students. He has been our guiding light throughout our careers at Pingry.
