Seems that these graduates still reflect the old Headmasters efforts and affect on academic prowess.L From my understanding he had a major hand in Sidwell's previously strong reputation and had returned to restore the schools lustre again. Several faculty members also accompanied him back to Sidwell as well. The one thing that troubled me on my Bullis visit specifically was that few of the current faculty had a tenure at Bullis of more thatn 2-3 years. The one lower school Math Teacher being the exception. Facilities however were second to none![/quote]

Farquhar did a good job at Bullis, making it a stronger academic institution.  He'd been gone from Sidwell since 1989, and was just the upper school dean when he left, so it's hard to make a case that he was the reason for Sidwell's strong reputation.  Nor is it my impression (as a non Sidwell parent) that the school had lost its lustre in the Harrison/Stewart years. [/quote]
