ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

My forefathers were consecrated to a vision of American education. In 1871, they founded what is known today as The Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, Connecticut. As a daughter of the house of Loomis, it is fitting to acknowledge and continue their mission. Thank you, Barron’s, for aiding and abetting a family vision.

I wish to thank my editor, Wendy Sleppin, for her valuable contributions to both editions of this book.
