Hotchkiss or Deerfield

[toombs61]

<p>In order to evaluate and compare fully the “final product” of two schools , let’s look at lists of alumni from each:</p>

<pre><code> BS X:

    Justice Potter Stewart
    Lewis Lapham, Editor of Harper's
    Fay Vincent, Former Major League Commissioner
    Publisher William Loeb
    Judge Robert Bork
    Henry Ford II
    Henry Luce, Founder of Time, Inc.
    Alfred Griswold, Pres. of Yale
    Poet Archibald MacLeish
    John Hammond, Executive of Columbia Records and discover of Bob Dylan,            
        Billie Franklin, Bruce Springstien

BS Y:

    Michael J. Fox, Actor
    Richard Sciafe, media mogul
    John McPhee, writer
    Rodman Rockerfeller, philanthropist
    Kit Bond, U.S. Senator
    Buddy Teevans, football coach
    John Ashbery, poet
    John Chafee, U.S. Senator
    B.K. Johnson, heir to King Ranch
    William Sloan Coffin (attended but didn'y graduate

</code></pre>

<p>In making this list, I took 10 names from each school that I recognized. I know that someone else’s list would be different. I hope others make like lists. But in comparing my lists, it seems to me that school X has been making the more important “products” or producing grads with the greater effect on the US. Reasonable minds could differ, of course. </p>

<p>In the end, however, both schools. X and Y, are great and any child attending one or the other should consider himself or herself blessed.</p>

<p>Pillsbury of pillsbury doughboy is an alum i met him a very nice man he is. As is chris meledandri same guy who made ice age and is pres. of fox searchlight pictures - the company that brought you Slumdog Millionaire - i met him too.</p>

[fun_is_fun]

<p>Prez – well, at least you didn’t claim this time that Goldman Sachs was founded by a Hotchkiss alum! How many of those alums inherited the company or used inherited wealth to buy them?</p>

[toombs61]

<p>And how many of the names just shown on this list of Deerfield grads, had anyone ever heard of before, other than those whom I had just listed above? I recognized three: Gordan McRae (nice singer), Jim Symington and Pete Varney (but only becuase I played college football with him). All fine people here with wonderful accomplishments…but I never heard of them. Thanks for the list, however. (Note: See [The</a> Hotchkiss School](<a href=“http://www.hotchkiss.org%5DThe”>http://www.hotchkiss.org) for 20+ pages of remarkable alumni and their accomplishmnets.)</p>

[prezomar]

<p>FIF obviously quite a few inherited their wealth but those that did made good use of it and expanded their companies take Henry Ford II for instance. He almost single handily revived Ford. Others like Fay Vincent did not come from wealth at all but used their brains and connections to become fabulously successful. Tom Werner current co-owner of the boston red Sox is another example of self-made hotchkiss men. A number of these alums made their own way. such as the founder of CNET or John Thornton former head of Goldman Sachs.</p>

[toombs61]

<p>fif, I misread a Deerfield alum list. Thanks for pointing out this error. The Fox in question, who is an actor and a Deerfield alum, is Matthew Fox, not Michael J. Fox. (I’m sorry to say that this fellow is another Deerfield grad of supposed fame of whom I have never heard, until today.)</p>

<p>Matthew Fox plays Jack Shepard on the simply great ABC show “Lost”. fif is a huge fan.
Fox PG’d at Deerfield, and then played football for Columbia.</p>

<p>A few points:</p>

<ul>
<li>I think that I accidentally touched upon some sore nerves, very sore ones I am afraid,:-).</li>
<li>I seldom notice any DA kids coming here bragging about their school. “D” is always among the few top ‘letters’ people think of top schools. Some people had to mount a campaign to get their “H” mentioned, and invented something this year to put their letter first. DA kids are comfortable with their places among their peers, and are busy having fun and never have to fight to bring attentions to themselves.</li>
<li>DA’s rebirth and revitalizations only occurred in the last 6 decades when “the Headmaster” took over the school in 1920s. From 1850s to 1940s the school was in decline and of course there were not that many old moneyed kids went there, unlike Groton or SPS… or even H. Therefore D won’t be boasting the list of old alum (I mean really old alum), as some of these other schools, although the schools are full of equally privileged kids.</li>
<li>We look to future. Both schools are great, but producing great, self-made alum, is a statistic game. If one “farm system” is now consistently sending a lot more “prospects” to the Majors, eventually, and statistically, more super stars will come out of it.</li>
<li>As this society is moving more towards a meritocracy, and looking into the future, I do see DA’s reputation will keep on growing and the gap between D and H will be further apart.</li>
</ul>

<p>I disagree. I don’t know what you read but I haven’t seen any students “bragging” about Hotchkiss. You may see kids who express that they are super excited that they got into Hotchkiss but once you get there, as with other top tier schools, there is simply not enough time to come on cc. You’re probably referring to posts here and there that come from Hotchkiss students giving out advice or info to prospective students. Just because a few students from a school come on to express their school pride with regard to giving out real insights on their school doesn’t mean it represents egotism or the like. In fact, it actually embodies concern and interest in helping others by sharing firsthand info to the many cc’ers who seek that kind of insightful info and I’m sure they all appreciate it greatly. After all, everyone has been in that position before where they seek firsthand knowledge. It shows they take time to come on and help others out of that boarding school bubble. Enthusiasm and excitement for their owns school shouldn’t be mistaken as pretentiousness.</p>

<p>I think what is pretentious is you attempting to lord the supposed superiority of your school over other schools. If you believe that your school is great then believe that there should be no need for you to put down other schools. I notice that you are a new poster and this is just you second post. That leads me to believe that you are one of those Hotchkiss Haters who has nothing better to do than attempt to put down a superlative school in your attempt to raise the prestige of your own school. </p>

<p>Hotchkiss is a peer school to Deerfield, Exeter, Andover, and St.Pauls. This has been disussed at length time and time again and time and time again we reach the same conclusions. For whatever reasons (I dunno loosing 130 million dollars may have something to do with it) Hotchkiss’ yield was down this year in comparison to other schools. That in no way detracts from the school because this was a highly unusual year for one and personal preference is fickle and changes from year to year. Go back 5 years and you will find that Hotchkiss’ yield was higher than Deerfields go back ten and the reverse may be true go back 20 and the reverse may be true once more. But the overarching truth is these schools have always been considered peer schools for a reason. Lastly I highly disagree with your comments about “factories” and what not. For one this year Hotchkiss’ ivy admit rate was excellent but I would highly ward against using that as a measure of excellence. Some students for instance may choose to attend schools that do not have the same prestige as Harvard etc. For instance this year a good number of Hotchkiss seniors were accepted to Harvard, every single one turned it down for programs such as the morehead, George Town (Edmund Walsh School of foreign Policy), Cambridge and other universities that are not included. But becuase of that suddenly people may assume that Hotchkiss alums just cant get into harvard, no that is not the case they just dont WANT to go there. Hotchkiss’ admit rate this year was on par with exeter’s so if you are going to berate Hotchkiss you might as well claim that Exeter is no longer a top boarding school and should be kicked out of the hades acronym. Like Fun is Fun I think your comments are ridiculous.</p>

<p>In every measure of academic merit Hotchkiss students come up equal to or superior than Deerfield students. SSAT, SAT for instance. So I really do not see where you are coming from…</p>

<p>Fireworks - please reread your post and then translate it for the rest of us.</p>

<p>Incidentally, Boyden took over at Deerfield in 1902.</p>

[toombs61]

<p>prezomar, please let me know where someone may be able to find this year’s college matriculation data for Hotchkiss. You mentioned in a prior post that the Ivy admit rate for Hotchkiss this year was “excellent”. Glad to hear this news; if you could, however, cite the source for this info, I think that many on CC would greatly appreciate having such referrence. Thanks much.</p>

[prezomar]

<p>Well it has not been released yet I know this simply because I go here and have heard some of the matriculation numbers. I know that The results will be released eventually but not as an individual year it will likely be coupled over a four year period as is custom. However I believe for instance that around 8 are going to Yale, another 8 to Columbia 6 or so to Princeton 6 that is all I know I know quite a few are going to Stanford but I do not know the precise number I guess it is somewhere between 5-8. All of the results except Harvard where no one here wanted to go to seem to have increased by 3 or so kids from last year. I will do more active research and come back to you with concrete results. Remember though IVY enrollment rates are by no means the best way to gauge the succes of a school - what those students do with their education after wards is far far more indicative of the strength of their education.</p>

[prezomar]

<p>Good news,</p>

<p>Hotchkis Track just won the New England Championship as did the Ultimate team with NEPSUL. If any more results come in I will be sure to update you guys.</p>

[hyeonhoy]

<p>hmm, I never wanted to come this far with the alum cause its not even that important but w/e.
prezomar- nope. Exeter had a lower yield this year but it’s still decent. 56% just seem to be not high enough,. Do you even have the records of the admissions of the schools to back up your assertion of reversing yield? or are you just saying?
WOW justifying the reason hotchkiss has low Ivy Matriculation by saying they merely didn’t want to go, How many went to Cambridge?</p>
