An Old New England School: A History Of Phillips Academy, Andover is a comprehensive account of the history of Phillips Academy, one of the oldest and most prestigious preparatory schools in the United States. Written by Claude M. Fuess and originally published in 1917, the book provides a detailed chronicle of the school's founding, growth, and development over the course of more than 150 years.Beginning with the school's origins in the early 18th century, Fuess traces the evolution of Phillips Academy from a small, local institution to a nationally recognized center of academic excellence. He explores the school's various academic programs, athletic traditions, and cultural activities, as well as its many notable alumni, including several U.S. presidents, business leaders, and cultural figures.Throughout the book, Fuess also delves into the broader historical context of Phillips Academy, examining the school's role in shaping American education and culture, as well as its connections to key social and political movements of the time. With its detailed research and engaging narrative style, An Old New England School is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of education in America, as well as the rich cultural heritage of New England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
