[quote=Anonymous][quote]One of the [b]TRUE beauties of STA is that the school has such a broad definition of what constitutes "strength" and celebrates the various ways in which different boys bring their "strength"[/b] to the community.[/quote]

True beauty and strategic design of course.  If the definition was restrictive and narrow then it's harder to justify admitting the C student with big bucks and cache, versus the gifted musician failing in mathematics, or the suave, debonair and skillfull lacrosse player, or the hard working overachiever from downtown D.C., versus the true geek with no interest in sports or the creative arts.

That's the point.  The definition is trully broad such that it's not difficult to celebrate the various ways in which different boys bring their "strength" to the community.  I don't think the STA admission's office would have diffuculty celebrating the strengths of a C student from a family that just donated $5 million to the STA community?  Do you?  [/quote]
