The headmaster's dilemma / Louis Auchincloss.
In The Headmaster's Dilemma, we see up close what happens when a school's ideals and founding principles collide with the exigencies of change. The Headmaster's Dilemma is the story of what happens when Michael Sayre, the handsome, avant-garde headmaster of Averhill, the great New England prep school, is faced with a school administrator's worst nightmare: a lawsuit brought by fervent parents in response to an incident involving their son and an upperclassman. To make matters worse, Michael is losing support from both the board of trustees--led by the conniving Donald Spencer--and senior faculty members. With the help of his supportive wife, Michael attempts to right these wrongs, while keeping Averhill's best interests in mind.
