<p>rbc, okay you have given me one apparent fact about Hotchkiss beyond your D’s opinions: the head of school at THS said that 35% of the students at Hotchkiss were legacies. Thank you. As for this asserted statement, I can say that this is the first time I have ever heard such a remark. If this statement is true, it is concerning. I will now confer with other sources and see whether or not they confirm or deny such a statement. I will be amazed if it is true. If true, I will be a bit disappointed. Either way, I will share with CC any info I find on this front. </p>
<p>Also, I can now only assume that you agree with me that both Exeter and Hotchkiss have similar teaching styles through their use of the Harkness Method and that your statement that there exits a “real difference” in the teaching styles at these schools, at least in the area of the humanities, was misplaced. If you somehow disagree with this point, I would be most interested to know the basis for this disagreement.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
