The School on the Hill

During the summer of 1963, the Governing Body of Trinity College School officially requested Dr. Philip Ketchum, Headmaster Emeritus, to write a history of the School. He, in turn, asked the author to collaborate with him in the task. The initial research had almost been concluded when Dr. Ketchum's untimely death brought an end to the plan. Knowing that Philip Ketchum had long wanted to see the work undertaken, Mr. Angus Scott, the Headmaster, and the Board of Governors were of the opinion that it should continue as planned. It would now, of course, be very much more difficult to achieve the degree of intimacy that Philip Ketchum's long association with the School would have made possible. As a boy, master and headmaster, it had been his life for close to half a century. His recollections formed a colourful tapestry of the rich store of events contained within its walls.
