00:59:38,900 --> 00:59:42,580
Why, Sedgewick?

00:59:42,580 --> 00:59:44,620
You knew the material.

Why not?

00:59:52,500 --> 00:59:55,500
How come you didn't stand up
and call me out?
850
00:59:56,540 --> 00:59:59,500
It's a complicated matter,
Sedgewick.
851
01:00:01,780 --> 01:00:04,220
It wasn't because
of my father, was it?
852
01:00:06,900 --> 01:00:09,460
It had nothing to do
with your father.
853

Sedgewick Bell
-- quite the surprise. Yes.

He's come a long way.
You must be very proud of him.

It makes
for wonderful theater.
860
01:00:56,980 --> 01:01:00,460
In fact, I was thinking, I might make the
suggestion to you, and to Mr. Woodbridge,
861
01:01:00,460 --> 01:01:02,380
that in the future
more alumni are invited.
862
01:01:02,380 --> 01:01:06,380
Not just the parents of the fiinalists,
but maybe all of the alumni.
863
01:01:06,380 --> 01:01:08,700
You know? And instead of it
happening just on any old weekday,
864
01:01:08,700 --> 01:01:11,620
think about making it
a weekend event.
865
01:01:11,620 --> 01:01:14,700
You know, for fund-raising, which would
augur well for your headmastership.
866
01:01:14,700 --> 01:01:18,900

What?
Come in.
870
01:01:30,980 --> 01:01:34,060
Well, the pressure to succeed
can be oppressive.
871

And, right or wrong,
872
01:01:35,980 --> 01:01:39,500
Woodbridge felt it was in the best interests
of the school's endowment to let it pass.
873
01:01:39,500 --> 01:01:42,140
Come on. William,you didn't
put the boy up on the stage.
874
01:01:42,140 --> 01:01:44,060
He got there
on his own merit.
875
01:01:44,060 --> 01:01:46,060
All you did was inspire him...
876
01:01:46,060 --> 01:01:49,580
to study and to learn, and for that
you should be commended.
877
01:02:06,780 --> 01:02:09,620
And thus began
an uneasy truce...
878
01:02:09,620 --> 01:02:12,460
between Sedgewick Bell
and myself.
879
01:02:12,460 --> 01:02:15,740
Whatever spark had ignited him
during the previous months...
880
01:02:15,740 --> 01:02:17,820
was now extinguished.
881
01:02:17,820 --> 01:02:20,180
And his brief flirtation
with diligence...
882
01:02:20,180 --> 01:02:23,060
was supplanted by
a renewed appetite for brashness,
883
01:02:23,060 --> 01:02:25,580
contempt and folly.
884
01:02:27,020 --> 01:02:31,660
As for his classmates,
his effect on them was almost hypnotic.
885
01:02:31,660 --> 01:02:33,580
Wherever he went,
they hovered,
886
01:02:33,580 --> 01:02:35,900

to any "defii"c"iencies in his character."

888
01:02:37,900 --> 01:02:40,260
So, his remaining years at
Saint Benedict's passed...

amidst an inexhaustible series
of pranks,

of C's and D's.

892
01:02:48,180 --> 01:02:51,020
And though his father's influence
guaranteed him a place at Yale,
893
01:02:52,820 --> 01:02:55,060
it was with a
profound sense of failure,
894
01:02:55,060 --> 01:02:58,420
that in the spring of 1976,
895
01:02:58,420 --> 01:03:02,980
I handed
Sedgewick Bell his diploma.

[ Bell Tolling ]
897
01:03:27,380 --> 01:03:29,620
According to Heraclitus,

01:03:29,620 --> 01:03:32,220
we cannot step into
the same river twice.
899
01:03:32,220 --> 01:03:34,220
''In the flow of time, ''
he argued,

''an opportunity lost
is lost forever.''
901
01:03:40,620 --> 01:03:44,860
And yet, when Elizabeth's marriage
ended and she returned home from England,
902
01:03:44,860 --> 01:03:47,220
the waters in which
we found ourselves swimming...
903
01:03:47,220 --> 01:03:52,860
were precisely as lovely
as those we had earlier only imagined.
904
01:03:52,860 --> 01:03:55,260
But if time had made
concessions for love,
905
01:03:55,260 --> 01:03:57,660
it made none for death.

01:03:57,660 --> 01:04:00,300
And when our headmaster,
Terence Woodbridge, passed away,
907
01:04:00,300 --> 01:04:02,820
I felt profound sadness.
908
01:04:02,820 --> 01:04:06,380
Though the incident with Sedgewick
Bell had tested our friendship,
909
01:04:06,380 --> 01:04:08,380
he had for half a century,...
910
01:04:08,380 --> 01:04:13,260
devoted himself to St. Benedict's
tradition of "academic and moral leadership"--
911
01:04:13,260 --> 01:04:16,180
A tradition, I realized,
that was now mine...
912
01:04:16,180 --> 01:04:18,220

The notion of taking you away

is one to which
we've given great thought.
926

A headmaster's job
is a rigorous one.

Mr. Hundert,
what experience do you have...

or building endowments?
935
01:05:45,940 --> 01:05:49,020
Mr. Hundert, we can't afford
to lose you as a teacher here.
936
01:05:49,020 --> 01:05:51,820
The reality is this.
Enrollment is down.
937
01:05:51,820 --> 01:05:54,700
People are thinking
of Saint Benedict's as old-fashioned.
938
01:05:54,700 --> 01:05:58,820
We need to look more to the
future and less to the past.

01:06:03,740 --> 01:06:04,820
Then who?

application for the job.

Mr. Ellerby has proposed
some very, exciting... No.

"fund"-"raising possibilities."

01:06:28,180 --> 01:06:31,220
Miss Johnston, I've been
assistant headmaster for 17 years.
947
01:06:31,220 --> 01:06:33,260

"about fund"-"raising."

James Ellerby is
a forward-thinking man.

to the community.
952
01:06:42,460 --> 01:06:45,780
He's built relationships to some
of the most important alumni.
953
01:06:45,780 --> 01:06:48,220

commitment to this school.

01:06:58,500 --> 01:07:00,780
Then you leave me no choice
but to tender my resignation.

But what does any of this
have to do with me?
986
01:09:59,540 --> 01:10:01,740
Here's the thing. He's informed
us that he would like to make...
987

a substantial donation
to Saint Benedict's...
988

He would like to hold a rematch
of the Mr.Julius Caesar contest.
990
01:10:09,420 --> 01:10:11,580
A rematch?
991
01:10:11,580 --> 01:10:13,780
With you
as master of ceremonies.
992
01:10:13,780 --> 01:10:14,780
Why?
993
01:10:16,180 --> 01:10:18,060
He says he would like to
reclaim his intellectual honor.
994
01:10:18,060 --> 01:10:21,820
And he says his secretary,'s already
located Louis Masoudi and Deepak Mehta...
995
01:10:21,820 --> 01:10:24,660
and doesn't really anticipate too
much trouble tracking down the others.
996
01:10:24,660 --> 01:10:27,100
Didn't you tell him
I had retired?
997
01:10:27,100 --> 01:10:29,900
Well, he asked
for you and only you.
998
01:10:29,900 --> 01:10:32,340
He insisted on it
as a condition.
999
01:10:32,340 --> 01:10:38,060
And did Mr. Bell say how much of a donation
he was planning to make to Saint Benedict's?
1000
01:10:38,060 --> 01:10:41,660
Enough for a 25,000-square-foot
addition to the library...

in honor
of his father.
1002
01:10:43,580 --> 01:10:46,460
It would be the school's
single largest donation to date.
1003
01:10:46,460 --> 01:10:52,020
And a retired history professor with
no fund-raising ability is the linchpin.

Yes.
1005
01:10:54,860 --> 01:10:57,140
