Congratulations to the folks past, present and future at The Lawrenceville School. Any organization that makes it’s 200th birthday intact and practicing its mission proves worthy of recognition.

We read in the Times of Trenton (Looking Forward by Glancing Back) that Lawrenceville will spend the year celebrating the past and looking to the future begining with the Aldo Leopold Symposium on Sustainability.

A Lawrenceville alumnus, Leopold “is credited as the father of wildlife management in the United States. Leopold’s posthumously published “A Sand County Almanac” is rivaled only by “Silent Spring” as the most venerated environmental book of the 20th century, according to a 1990 poll of members of the American Nature Study Society.” (TofT)

Stewardship from every angle- Lawrenceville’s bicentennial celebrations will work to strengthen the school’s connection to the town, the physical environment and it’s past present and future.
