Memories of Leonard Wilde

  • From first student Peter Hebb '57

    Wilde developed a concept that a progamme in Neuchâtel, teaching the last year of secondary school in English, could be recognized by all universities in North America. There would be additional bonus of gaining some fluency in French by living with a local Swiss French-speaking family 'en pension'.
