Chapel Talks by Rick Melvoin

Rick Melvoin, former Ronald M. Druker '62 Head of School delivered his first Chapel Talk on September 9, 1993, the first day of school in his first year as head of school. For the next 25 years, Dr. Melvoin would traditionally deliver three such talks a year: the first day of school, the first day after Winter Break, and the first day after Spring Break. In 2007, the School printed Chapel Talks, a compilation of some of Dr. Melvoin's most memorable speeches to the boys. Two subsequent volumes were published in 2009 and 2011. As Dr. Melvoin concluded his 25-year career on the Hill, this compilation-which includes the first three volumes, and seven new Chapel Talks-in chronological order, tracing the arc of changing times yet also steadfast values.
