PURPOSE

As stated by the Founder, the late Alexis Felix du Pont, the purpose of St. Andrew's School is to provide secondary education of a definitely Christian character, at the mini­mum cost consistent with modern equipment and the highest standards. The teaching and conduct of the School are based on the Christian religion. All boys are expected to take part in the School's worship and religious educa­tion, which are in accordance with the practice and prin­ciples of the Protestant Episcopal Church; but member­ship in another religious body will not exclude an appli­cant from admission.

It is the belief of the School and those who assisted in its founda­tion that learning without faith is an unguided and futile thing. As the School motto "Faith and Learning'' suggests, St. Andrew's attempts to provide an environment in which the Christian idea can

flourish, not in its parts separately, but as a single and indivisible whole-a whole in which learning and living are given meaning and direction through faith in God, His purpose, and His Church.

In common with all Church boarding schools, St. Andrew's offers a unique opportunity to translate this ideal into fact. As a Church school it has behind it the great tradition and power of the Church. As a school relatively isolated from the multiple distractions which beset the boy of today it is in a position to weigh and arrange hours of recreation and hours of study so that discrimination and self-reliance grow as the boy grows and are not thrust upon him at an age when he is unprepared to exercise either fully for him­self. As a boarding school it affords the boy an unparalleled oppor­tunity to mature as a social being-to work and play as a member of a group, as well as to be an individual with aspirations and interests of his own.

7

CHAPEL

A boy entering the School becomes a member of a community living according to the general pattern of a Christian family. Its ideal of conduct is mutual trust and love, simplicity of life, and the sharing of responsibilities and opportunities. This idea is ex­pressed and nurtured by the School's religious life, which centers in the Chapel.

In the Chapel, which is a large room in the Main Building with pew acommodations for over two hundred, a short service is held every weekday evening, except Tuesday and Saturday. On Sundays and Holy Days there is an early celebration of Holy Communion, and on Sundays, except the first Sunday of each month, a late Service of Morning Prayer and sermon. The School Clergy, the Headmaster, and occasionally visiting Clergy preach at these services.

A Student Vestry, composed of the Praefects, the Form Officers, and some members of the Faculty, bears something of the same rela­tionship to the Chapel that a parish vestry bears to a parish. The analogy is not exact, but at its meetings the Vestry considers matters of concern to the religious life of the School, particularly chapel attendance, the conduct of services, the upkeep of the Chapel, the receiving and disbursing of student offerings, and inter-school relig­ious relationships.

In addition there are a student Choir, Sacristans' Guild, and Acolytes' Guild. Members of the Sixth Form read the lessons at Evening Prayer.

St. Andrew's is the Diocesan School of the Diocese of Delaware. In addition to the regular Sacred Studies classes, special instruc­tion for Confirmation is given to those desiring it. The Bishop of Delaware visits the School in the winter for Confirmation, but boys expecting to be confirmed in their home churches will gladly be given preparation at School if their parents and rectors so request.

8

GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS

The School buildings are located on a point overlooking Noxon­town Pond, two miles from the center of Middletown, twenty-five miles south of Wilmington, and about sixty miles from Philadelphia.

The property comprises 350 acres. About 100 acres are occupied by the campus and the rest is part of the School Farm, which is cultivated by a tenant fanner. On one edge the property is bounded by Noxontown Pond, which is two miles long, and on another by Silver Lake, three-quarters of a mile in length.

The main building, a modern fireproof unit, provides complete accommodations for 157 boys, including living quarters and their attendant facilities, classrooms, laboratories, an art studio, well equipped dark rooms, listening rooms, a study hall, an auditorium, common rooms, a chapel and a dining hall. The younger boys sleep in cubicles in open dormitories, most of the older boys in double rooms. The Irene du Pont Library holds approximately 8,000 vol­umes and has alcoves for study and for leisurely reading. The gymnasium contains a large basketball floor, two wrestling courts, four squash courts, a rowing machine room, an indoor rifle range, recreation rooms, lockers and showers, a music practice room, and an electronics and radio shop.

On the School grounds are five football fields, two soccer fields, two baseball diamonds, and nine tennis courts. The School has its own boat house and piers on Noxontown Pond. The waters of this lake are well known fishing grounds and provide swimming and sailing. They are suited to rowing, which has been conducted on an organized scale since 1932.

9

HEALTH Under no circumstances should a boy who is ill be brought or

returned to school.

On the third floor of the main building are a large Infirmary, an office, and the quarters for the resident nurse. Ordinarily there is no Infirmary charge, but each boy will be charged an actual cost fee for materials or medicines used.

It is imperative that each new boy present a School Medical Certificate filled out by his private physician in conjunction with his parents or guardian before entering the school. The visiting physicians in charge are Drs. H. L. Hoch and Demeter Skrypec of Middletown. Wilmington hospitals and specialists are accessible if needed. The Head Nurse with her assistants attempts to keep all boys as healthy as possible. To this end a vigilant watch is kept on the health of each boy, the object being prevention of illness. The Head Nurse or her assistant is on call 24 hours each day and at all times works under the direction of the physician in charge.

Dr. C. I. Hoch, D.D.S., of Middletown is available for emergency dental work. Each boy is expected to have routine dental work attended to before coming to school or during vacations.

CURRICULUM

As a Church school preparing its boys for college, St. Andrew's believes that each student should be equipped intellectually, mor­ally, and spiritually to meet the challenge of higher education suc­cessfully and profitably, and while emphasis is necessarily directed to mastery of basic subjects, the curriculum is designed to stimulate and broaden as well.

The course of study is a five-year college preparatory course beginning with the Second Form, which corresponds roughly to the eighth grade.

To graduate, a boy must earn fifteen units-three in English, three in mathematics, two in a foreign language, and one each in American history and a laboratory science. The remaining five units are elective.

Courses are listed by form, but boys may take classes out of form when previous preparation, college requirements, or personal pref­erence make it desirable. The School reserves the right to place a boy forward or back as his best interests require. An outline of the course of study follows:

A detailed description of each course is given on pages 13-19.

With classes averaging about ten boys, individual attention is assured. Any boy in temporary academic difficulties may receive special help, though this help may not be extended to become pro­longed tutoring. A course in How to Study is given to all second formers, and a limited course in Developmental Reading is offered to all boys needing it. An Advanced Reading Program is open to boys whose reading skills have passed an elementary stage.

All scheduled study periods are ordinarily supervised by a master, but because the School believes that every boy must learn to study effectively on his own, older boys and those who maintain certain academic standards are permitted to study without supervision.

Reports are sent home six times a year, and interim grades are issued to the School in the intervals between reports. Grades are reported in percentages, with eighty or above representing honors work, sixty-five passing, and belo·w sixty failing.

Such organizations as the School Publications, the Criss Cross Club (dramatics), the Stamp Club, Rifle Club, Camera Club,

Press Club, Yacht Club, the School Band, the Choir, the Glee Club, the Electronics Club, and the Science Club, afford every boy recre­ational and creative outlets. Instruction in instrumental and vocal music is also given to boys whose parents request it. No charge is made for these lessons when interest and progress are evident.

12

The Library plays an important part in the intellectual and recreational activities of the School. Open at all times except during Chapel services, it is supervised by a trained librarian with the assistance of a volunteer staff of boys selected from all forms.

The Library houses a well-balanced collection of more than 8,000 volumes, including an adequate reference section. It also provides about 35 selected periodicals and four daily newspapers. Phono­graph records, pictures, and other essential audio-visual materials are maintained and circulated. An annual budget assures constant acquisition of new books and other materials.

Every boy has the benefit of counseling. His principal counselor is his advisor, but the Headmaster, the Registrar, the Director of Studies and all the boy's teachers participate in helping him make a proper adjustment socially and academically and in planning his college career.

St. Andrew's is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Of the 156 boys in the last five graduating classes, 52 went to colleges requiring both the aptitude and achievement tests of the College Entrance Examination Board, 55 went to colleges requiring only the aptitude examinations, 39 went to colleges requiring neither and 6 went either to West Point, Annapolis, or the Air Force Academy. Three graduates entered the armed forces and one by reason of his youth took a post grad­uate course.

Musical Composition-Elective in all forms. Primarily an introductory course in musical composition covering harmonization of melody, harmonic analysis, transcription, and the keyboard. Instrumental Music-Elective in all forms. Individual and class instruction on all band and orchestral instruments. During the fall term the band studies and performs marching band literature; during the winter and spring terms it functions as a concert band, studying and performing concert band literature and transcriptions. The Orchestra is composed of the advanced group of in­strumentalists. Regular in-school concerts are given. There is no charge for instruction. Vocal Instruction-Elective to chorus or choir members whose course schedule permits one class period each week of individual or small group instruction in notation, ear training, and sight singing. Chorus-Open to all boys who wish to sing. No previous experience necessary. Choir-Open to selected members of the chorus. The Choir leads the School in daily Chapel singing and sings offertories and seasonal anthems on Sundays and in special religious services.

How to Study This program provides instruction and practice in the development of sound

study habits. Special emphasis is placed upon the ability to set purposes, to concentrate, to remember, to study systematically, to plan time, and to take examinations. The skill-building activities are developed in small groups. Prac­tical application of the skills is correlated with the subjects the students are studying for the term. Instruction is geared to the needs of the students.

Developmental Reading The purpose of this pro� is to give help to students who want to think

and read more effectively tn learning situations. Instruction and practice are

19

provided for students who need to read rapidly and well, to develop sound comprehension, to build a large vocabulary, to write clearly, and to listen and speak intelligently. Instruction is geared to meet specific needs of the students.

Advanced Reading Program

An intensive, individualized program that has proven highly effective in making good readers into excellent readers. The program is under the direc­tion of Reading Services of Greenwich, Connecticut. To obtain maximum improvement in reading skill, experienced counselors will employ the latest and most effective techniques and training aids. This program will be offered to a selected group without charge.

Library Techniques

The School regards familiarity with library methods as an indispensable part of a college preparatory education, and to this end the library itself and the conduct of its business are modelled upon standard patterns.

Under the direction of a trained librarian and in conjunction with regular classroom work students are given formal class instruction in the use of the library and the methods and materials of research. The librarian also assists individual students with specific research problems.

In addition every effort is made through displays, book sales, and open stacks to stimulate an interest in books and in reading.

SCHOOL GOVERNMENT

uThere cannot be too much of the kind of activity • • . [which ] aids and stimulates individual exertion and development . . . The mischief begins when, inst6ad of calling forth the activities and powers of individual.1 . • • [government] substitutes its own activities for theirs."

-JOHN STUART MILL, uon Liberty"

The activities of students in areas peculiarly their own are di­rected by the School Meeting, which is conducted by the Praefects and is composed of all members of the School community, faculty and student alike. Each member has a vote in this assembly, and any member is entitled to speak on the issues presented to it.

20

Through a series of executive committees on which masters as well as students serve, the will of the School Meeting is translated into action. The Agenda Committee has as its business preparation of the agenda for the School Meeting ; the Vestry has as its respon­sibility matters of particular concern to the Chapel ; the Decorum Committee sets standards of dress and decorum ; the Social Activi­ties Committee plans informal dances and similar social events; the Recreation Committee assists in the arrangement of Saturday or Sunday night programs. The Disciplinary Committee has as its province matters of discipline, and the Honor Committee has as its function preservation of the St. Andrew's Honor Code.

In addition each form has its own elected officers and its own duties, such as preserving order in dormitories and corridors, nom­inating its members for positions on the various student committees, and in the case of the Fifth and Sixth Forms, managing the two formal dances given during the school year.

The Praefects, who are chosen from the Sixth Form by the Head­master, serve as chairmen of the various committees, as student supervisors in dormitories and corridors, and as officers of the School Meeting, of which the Senior Praefect is chairman.

Thus every boy is a part of the School and as a part, has a major responsibility to it.

The matter of running a school, however, can not be left en­tirely to students. All acts of the School Meeting and its commit­tees are subject to Faculty approval. It is to the credit of the stu­dent body and a matter of great satisfaction to the Faculty that the Faculty has seldom had to withhold approval.

JOB SYSTEM

It is the aim of the School to instill a sense of pride in a task we11 done as well as to keep its life simple and economical. To this end boys assume much of the care of grounds and buildings, their own rooms, and the service of pantry and dining room.

2 1

The work is divided equally and jobs are changed every third week of term. The time thus consumed averages about thirty minutes daily. Supervision and inspection of jobs are carried on by the Sixth Form under the general direction of a faculty mem­ber. Training in supervision is accomplished by rotation of fifth formers as supervisors on Saturdays.

ATHLETICS AND RECREATION

Unless specifically excused by the school nurse or by a physician, all boys are expected to take part in the organized sports in season and to be outdoors every afternoon except when the regular squads practice in the Gymnasium. The coaching is done entirely by the masters ; careful attention is given to the lower teams and to the less proficient players as well as to the varsity teams.

In the fall there are two major sports, football and soccer. How­ever, all boys except fifth and sixth formers are expected to play football unless excused by the School authorities, in which case they may play soccer. The older boys' squads play inter-scholastic games, and the younger boys, an intra-mural series.

In the winter there are organized games in basketball, wrestling, and squash, and, whenever possible, skating. Facilities are provided for badminton, volley ball and ping-pong.

In the spring there are baseball, crew, and tennis squads. Track and sailing are offered on an informal basis. The rowing equip­ment includes doubles and singles and four-oared and eight­oared shells in which the varsity participates in outside races. A coaching launch is used whenever the crews are on the water.

The St. Andrew's School Yacht Club is a member of the Inter­scholastic Yacht Racing Association and participates in the annual regattas of that organization. Recreational sailing and practice races are held on Noxontown Pond throughout the spring, using the sailing dinghy and "Blue Jays", which are school-owned and cared for by the Yacht Club.

22

In all athletics the emphasis is upon the development of sporU­manship and the enjoyment of the game as much as upon the acquisition of skill, strength, and endurance.

ENTERTAINMENT

The large auditorium in the basement of the new wing is used for entertainment programs and the School's visual education pro­gram. Illustrated lectures and recitals are given by visiting artists, and every Saturday evening there is a feature-length motion picture or other entertainment at the School. At times during the year en­tertainments are given by the boys themselves. The Criss-Cross Club, the School dramatic society, presents at least one play and sponsors other plays and entertainments each year. In addition each fonn has a common room in which there are recreational facilities, among them television, the use of which is restricted to "off'' periods.

Enjoyable features of the winter and spring terms are formal dances given by the upper forms and attended by the boys and their guests. Other informal Saturday night dances are given occa­sionally, and occasionally too, groups of boys attend informal social affairs given by nearby girls' schools.

The boys are welcome in the homes of members of the Faculty.

GENERAL REGULATIONS AND LEAVES OF ABSENCE

In their association with each other and the older members of the school community, boys are expected to be guided by their highest sense of right and justice according to the general pattern of a Christian family. The School reserves the right to dismiss any boy whose scholarship, conduct, or cooperation is unsatis­factory. The school rules and regulations are fully listed in the HANDBOOK. A few major rules and principles are as follows :

St. Andrew's School operates under an honor code by which the student obligates himself to personal honesty in act and word and commits himself to report irregularities. The School is willing to accept only those students who feel that they can endorse this code.

23

The possession or the use of intoxicating liquors by any student

under the jurisdiction of the School is strictly forbidden and will result in summary dismissal. A student is considered under the juris­diction of the School from the time he leaves home until the time he returns either to it or to its recognized equivalent.

Firearms, explosives, tobacco in any form, bicycles, knives except penknives, and pets are not allowed at the School, except as specially permitted under specified school regulations.

Boys are permitted to ride in cars only when with parents, adult friends or with a member of the Faculty or Staff on official school business.

Uninterrupted attendance is of the utmost importance. Parents are urgently requested to cooperate with the School and to make no requests for their son's absence except in cases of absolute necessity.

However, all students in good standing are permitted to leave the campus in the company of parents or adult family friends when no school engagement other than meals has to be met.

In addition every student is permitted one week-end leave per term and can earn two additional leaves if his academic standing is third group or better or if his conduct record is exceptionally good. Sixth Form students are permitted an additional weekend, but no student may take more than three week-end leaves in any single tenn.

Every student is required to present the written permission of his parents to take week-end leave of the campus and if he is not going home, an invitation from his host or hostess. For further in­formation see the inside of the back cover.

Visitors are welcome at all times, especially after terms are a few weeks underway. There are usually accommodations at the School, and acco1nmodations can always be arranged in the vicinity. Par­ents and friends are always welcome in the School dining room during the term.

TELEPHONES A St. Andre\\"s telephone directory will be found inside the back

cover of this catalogue. 24

On weekdays : Boys can best be reached by calling the School number during mealtimes ( see Daily Schedule, p. 1 0 ) , or when the call is urgent� during classes or study hour.

A boy may also be reached between the end of study hour and bedtime by calling his dormitory or corridor master. No boy will be called to the telephone after bedtime save in a dire emergency.

Normally, a delay of at least five minutes is to be expected, and during athletic periods in the afternoon and the activities period in the evening, the delay may well be longer.

On Saturday and Sunday : Unless a boy is expecting a call, reaching him on Saturdays between 10 : 15 A.M. and 6 : 30 P.M., or between 7 : 00 P.M. and 1 0 : 30 P.M. is a virtual impossibility. It is also extremely difficult to find boys on Sunday afternoon between 1 : 30 and 6 : 00 P.M. The best the School can do except in cases of real emergency is to post a notice asking the boy to call.

EQUIPMENT Dress requirements are very simple, but except in hot weather

boys are expected to wear a coat and tie to all engagements and a full suit Sundays through dinner. To insure that his appearance will be neat, clean and orderly at all times, a boy should have at St. Andrew's about the same wardrobe that he has in his own well ordered home. Extremes of teen-age fashion are not permitted. It is suggested that each boy bring at least the following articles :

1 overcoat 1 raincoat 1 hat or cap 1 dark suit for Sundays and

special occasions 1 tweed or corduroy jacket or a

suit for everyday wear 2 pairs of flannel slacks 2 pairs of khaki slacks 1 light sweater 6 sets of underwear 1 bathrobe

25

8 long sleeved shirts, white broadcloth or white or blue oxford cloth

1 pair shoes for Sundays 1 pair shoes for "everyday" 3 pairs of pajamas 1 dozen pairs of socks 1 dozen handkerchiefs 1 pair slippers 1 pair rubbers or galoshes 1 pair heavy gloves or mittens 1 pair swimming trunks

Each boy is expected to provide: 3 blankets and comforter 2 large laundry bags

Bed linen, towels, etc. are supplied by the School for a fee cov­ered in the fixed incidental fee.

If a boy wears glasses, he should bring two pairs to be prepared for an emergency. All boys are expected to have a Bible.

The School colors are cardinal and white.

Each article must he conspicuously marked with a printed name tape (sewed on four sides) hearing the owner's name as it appears on his application. Extra name tapes should be left with the laundry /or use during the school year.

The following marking locations are suggested: On the inside of collar band at back of neck of shirts, coats, etc. On the inside left front top edge of trousers and pants. On the inside top, vertically, on socks. On the right side of a corner of linen so that tape is visible when

the article is folded. On the tongue of shoes, band of hats, wrist of gloves, etc.

All luggage must have a name tag attached to the handle, and must be marked inside with the owner's name and address.

EXPENSES

The tuition fee is $1800. However, it was the desire of the Foun­der and it remains the desire of the Foundation to make the facili­ties of the School available to families of modest circumstances as well as to those more fortunate. Each year a substantial part of the income from endowment is devoted to tuition assistance. While the School can not assist all who apply, the parents of no able and ambitious student should be deterred by financial considerations from making application.

Those who wish to apply for tuition assistance are asked to fill out the Standard School Scholarship Form, which will be sent upon request. On the basis of the applicant's need, academic ability, character, and general promise the School will grant assistance to

26

the limit of its means. However, while all who are admitted must meet the entrance standards set by the School, grants in excess of $500 become in effect competitive academic scholarships for which only students of exceptional ability can be considered eligible.

Reduced tuitions are renewable annually, but to remain eligible for assistance a student's work must be commensurate with his abilities. The minimum expected is a passing grade or better in all subjects and a "seventy'' average over-all. Beyond this the tuition fee paid for each boy is confidential and has no effect on his posi­tion or privileges in the school.

The tuition fee covers board, lodging and laundry. It is payable in equal installments, the first due on or before the opening day of the fall term, and the second on or before February 1. Tuition may also be paid in eight equal monthly installments beginning October 1 . If the second alternative is accepted there is a three per cent handling charge payable in full October 1 .

The tuition fee does not include the cost of tuition refund insur­ance (two per cent of the tuition fee ) which is required of all stu­dents and affords compensation for prolonged absence from classes, withdrawal during term, or dismissal for any cause. It does not include the cost of the nine month health and accident assurance policy should the parent elect coverage.

Nor does it include the fixed incidentals fee of $40, which covers such fixed expenses as a subscription to all student publications, the rental of texts from the School Reserve Library, the linen and gym "white" issues (sox, and other etcetera, laundered daily) , school lectures and entertainments.

Insurance fees and the fixed incidentals fee are due and payable when the first tuition payment is due.

The fixed incidentals fee does not include variable incidental expenses such as the weekly allowance, the rental of athletic equip­ment, the purchase of books, stationery and so on, for which no fixed fee can be set. To cover these variable incidental expenses, parents are asked to de}>f>sit $90 to their son's bank account on the

27

opening day of school and to maintain a safe balance ( $ 1 0 ) there­after.

It is the School's policy to keep variable expenses to a minimum. The School maintains a store from which boys may purchase books, stationery, athletic equipment, candy and supplies of various kinds at little more than cost price. All withdrawals from the account are made by checks drawn by the boy and countersigned by his advisor except where the expense is clearly necessary.

With the exercise of reasonable care, the total incidental expen­diture, exclusive of travel, should not exceed $235 a year and may well be less than that.

PARENTS ARE URGED NOT TO SEND THEIR SONS

EXTRA SPENDING MONEY. ALL DEPOSITS TO A BOY'S

ACCOUNT SHOULD BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE

SCHOOL BANK.

In the case of a new boy a deposit amounting to twelve and one-half per cent of the tuition fee must be made upon acceptance of the School's terms of admission. The deposit will be credited against the first tuition payment. If notice of change of inten­tion is given the School before July first, half of the deposit will be returned, but after that date the deposit will be retained by the school.

Parents of old boys who intend to terminate connection may do so without obligation if the School is notified by July first. After that date the School will release academic records only upon pay­ment of a charge of twelve and one-half per cent of the tuition rate for the session concluded in June.

ADMISSION

Ordinarily boys are admitted only to the Second, Third, and Fourth Forms ( grades eight through t�n) . Application for admis­sion is made on the application forms which are included with this catalogue or which may be had from the School upon request. A fee of $5.00 must accompany each application.

28

The academic fitness of the applicant is determined by his school record and by a series of entrance tests. No boy can be accepted with­out these tests.

All applicants will be expected to take the December Secondary School Admissions Tests. The School will send full information about these tests well in advance of the test date. Those who complete these tests successfully will be expected to take St. Andrew's Place­ment Tests in English, mathematics, and in a foreign language if the applicant wishes to pursue at St. Andrew's a foreign language begun elsewhere.

St. Andrew's Placement Tests may be taken at St. Andrew's, or where distance makes this course impractical, tests will be sent for administration to any teacher, school or agency capable of admin­istering them. When tests are sent away, all arrangements and costs will have to be made and borne by the parents of the applicant. Tests must be returned to the School within one week of the day on which the tests are received by the testing agent or agency.

A ll applicants who have not taken the tests of the Secondary School Admissions Program will take the full battery of St. An­drew's School Entrance Tests, which are given at the School on the Friday preceding the first Saturday and the first Saturday of Febru­

ary. These tests will also be mailed for administration elsewhere, as outlined in the paragraph preceding.

After the first Saturday in February entrance tests will be given only by special arrangement.
