...recounting (in its issue for June 30) the death and record of the late Dr. Huber Gray Buehler, headmaster of the famed Maria H. Hotchkiss School, TIME set down, as leading secondary schools of the country, Hotchkiss, Taft, The Hill, Lawrenceville, Groton, Phillips Exeter, Phillips Andover...
From Lakeville, Conn., the trustees of the Maria H. Hotchkiss School announced the appointment of Walter H. Buell as Acting Headmaster to succeed the late Dr. Buehler.

In this he follows his chief-Horace D. Taft (brother of "Bill" and "Charlie"). Headmaster Taft is, after the Hotchkiss manner, called the King, but his authority rests on a Garibaldian affection rather than on a Cavourian dominance. The head of Groton is Dr. Peabody.
