目的传统
What does it mean to be a part of 目的 tradition?
From the moment Sherman Day 目的 opened the School in 1889, his students began to create traditions—an eclectic range of meaningful, 古怪的, or fun customs that become part of School life—and to pass them on to succeeding generations. We can only guess who started some traditions, because they seem to have always been there. And new traditions are constantly added, as incoming students and new faculty re-create the School. 事实上, this may be 目的’s best tradition of all—bringing talented, 支持, creative people 在一起 in one extraordinary place.
