Chapel Talk, 2010 December 1: Founders Day / Tad Roach

In this talk, Tad reflects on Founders Day. Tad refers to Bishop Cook who wrote a comprehensive report on the beginnings of St. Andrew’s School. "It has seemed wise to make a definite and permanent record of the steps which have led up to this accomplishment while the material, which must be gathered from various sources, is still available and while the memory of these things is still fresh in the minds of those who shared in the work. This is done in the hope and expectation that such a record may be of value, in the future, as the School progresses and accurate information may be desired about its beginnings." Tad goes on to say, "With our privilege of membership in this community come deep and important obligations: St. Andrew’s calls us o’er the tumult to care for one another, to nurture our culture, to honor our buildings and grounds and to transform this educational experiment to commitments dedicated to a public good."
