Chapel Talk, 2003 February 5 / Tad Roach

Headmaster Tad Roach discusses student responsibility for academic and intellectual engagement. "We all have a responsibility for respecting, protecting, developing and transforming the intellectual culture of St. Andrew’s, and tonight I call upon all of us, individually and collectively, to embrace the educational opportunities that are unique to us at St. Andrew’s. I make this entreaty because the academic culture and tenor of the School is such a unique and precious feature of St. Andrew’s life. Quite literally, St. Andrew’s seeks to and succeeds in surrounding you with teachers who live and pursue quite passionately the life of the mind."
