“This situation has troubled and disappointed me deeply,” said Gilman Headmaster Henry P. A. Smyth in a letter to families. “As I said today to Upper School students, as well as to faculty and staff, all of us who have seen the photos posted online agree wholeheartedly that they express values and beliefs that run counter to the kind of community that we seek to build at Gilman, to the character of young men that we strive to educate, and to the type of world that we hope our graduates will help to build.”
