[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, all institutions change, and, yes, Sidwell is a good, though not perfect, school (if you find the perfect one, please LMK :)).  But, how has the school changed?  I know when I talk to alums from the '60s they have very happy memories of a place that was less self-reverential with a culture of more humility and humor.  Is that your experience?  I wonder if there's any way for Sidwell to get that back, at least a little bit.     [/quote]

The country , and Washington in particular, has changed a lot since the 1960's ( far more self-reverential now) and the school of choice for the elite shows this in its full glory. For example, Sidwell would have never chosen to build that new gym the US has in the 60's. It is a gym that benefits an NFL team for one of the least athletci schools in the area. Perhaps then, people would have used an application and fund raising boom to keep tuition down or fund home mortages for teachers, FA for teacer's kids etc... These are old school values.[/quote]
