Third Thursday Book Discussion – The Headmaster: Frank L. Boyden, of Deerfield by John McPhee

In the first chapter of this biography of Frank L. Boyden, McPhee writes: "By the late nineteen-thirties, it had become clear that he was one of the greatest headmasters in history, and for many years he has stood alone as, in all probability, the last man of his kind. He is at the near end of a skein of magnanimous despots who - no matter whether they had actually founded the places or not - created enduring schools through their own individual energies, maintained them under their own absolute rule, and left them forever imprinted with the own personalities." Third Thursday is an informal group, open to all, no sign up necessary. Reserve your book at the adult circulation desk or online.
