As you know, our beloved Mr. Portius of the English Department retired last term. You will have the opportunity later to meet his replacement Mr. John Keating, himself an honours graduate of this school. And who, for the past several years, has been teaching at the highly regarded Chester School in London.
- In her first year, Welton Academy graduated five students. Last year we graduated fifty-one and more than seventy-five percent of those went on to the ivy League. - This, this kind of accomplishment is the result of fervent dedication to the principles taught here. - This is why you parents have been sending your sons. - This is why we are the best preparatory school in the United States.
- Ladies and gentlemen, boys, the light of the knowledge.- One hundred years ago, in 1859, forty-one boys sat in this room and were asked the same question that now greets you at the start of each semester. Gentlemen, what are the four pillars ?- Tradition ! Honor! Discipline! Excellence!
