George Hallam's history of The Bolles School is more than a chronicle of events. In a lively narrative style that delights in anecdotes and irony, he gets behind the outward flow of events to profile the personalities and dramatize the small movements. The central theme of the book is the quest for excellence. From the changing of the guard to the admission of girl students, from the last bugle call to the first Presidential Scholar, the quest has not been easy. As the English essayist William Hazlitt once said of actors and acting, "There is no path so steep as that of fame...no labor so hard as the pursuit of excellence." BOLLES: The Standard-Bearer is the story of that pursuit.Collection
