The Headmaster's visit to Stateside OB's
Story - June 2005
Dr Seldon has just returned from a trip to the States during which he took the opportunity to meet with some local Old Brightonians.
A visit to Martin Buss (D. 1954-58) on Long Island for lunch preceded a visit with John Drayson (B. 1945-50) at his house in DC. Dr Seldon then dropped in on Stanley Abraham (B. 1952-56) in Santa Monica, again for a lunch visit.
Martin Buss, a contemporary of Robert Skidelsky (C. 1953-58), is remembered most recently for his generous donation that afforded the extensive refurbishment of the College squash courts in 2002.
All are reported well and fit, and enjoying life in the colonies...
Dr Anthony Seldon
to leave in 2006
Story - March 2005
It has been announced that Dr Anthony Seldon is to leave Brighton College after eight and a half years. He is to become Master of Wellington College with effect from January 2006.
Simon Smith, known to generations of Old Brightonians, has agreed to serve as Acting Head while a permanent replacement is found.
Dr Seldon has helped to generate a national reputation for the College and has overseen a 50% increase in pupils, a dramatic rise in academic results, a substantial overhaul of the College’s facilities and a broadening of the activities available to pupils.
Dr Seldon and his wife Joanna have accepted the President’s invitation to the Annual Dinner on 26 November. It is hoped that as many OBs as possible will join us on that occasion to say farewell
