Description for Hotchkiss
hardcover. This engaging chronicle asks and answers the question, 'How has Connecticut's Hotchkiss School managed to accomodate a hundred years of unprecedented change?' Num Pages: 596 pages, Illustrations, facsims., ports. BIC Classification: JNLP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 243 x 163 x 45. Weight in Grams: 1098.
How has the Hotchkiss School managed to accommodate a hundred years of unprecedented change—a century during which horse-and-buggy trails have become less familiar than the fiery trails of space-bound vehicles, and Victorian propriety has yielded to unabashed self-expression? The short answer—carefully; certainly not without considerable tension and the constant need to mediate between the forces of tradition and innovation. Oh yes, also by following the golden rule: do not disturb the cherished memories of alumni—and, more recently, of alumnae as well.
