"William E. Peck, one of the great schoolmasters of the country, after twelve years as head of St. Mark's resigned to establish this school to more fully carry out his own ideals. William Beach Olmsted, his successor, worked unselfishly and joyously to secure the interest of people of wealth and social prominence, and created for the school a beautiful setting. The old order passed with him in 1029 and Mr. Lefferts, educated at Taft and Yale, was appointed head master. An ardent democrat, non-believer in conformity to type, Mr. Lefferts encourages independent thinking among his boys. He has created a new Pomfret."
