The Headmaster by John McPhee
Frank L. Boyden of Deerfield
An intimate, character-driven profile of Frank Boyden, the long-serving head of Deerfield Academy, chronicling his rise to authority and the eccentric, hands-on style that made him a dominant figure in boarding-school life; through interviews, anecdotes, and close observation it shows how his blend of strict discipline, personal attention to students, flair for fundraising and publicity, and paternal toughness shaped the school's culture and reputation, producing deep loyalty as well as controversy and illuminating broader questions about leadership and elite education in America.
