Biografía breve: John Flagg Gummere, scion of a long line of talented and prominent Quaker educators, was Headmaster from 1941 to 1968. He was a noted Latin scholar (Ph.D., Penn) and author of several widely used textbooks. Dr. Gummere was a loquacious raconteur with seemingly encyclopedic knowledge on many topics. Regarding Penn Charter sports, his variation on Penn's motto for the school (the Gummere variation: "Good Instruction is Better than Losing") says volumes about his attitude toward a coach's teaching role with students.

Latin Book Two: Language, Literature, and Life por Harry Fletcher Scott

This text has a different approach than those from the previous century, and it's most notable for the large number of sketches and photographs of Rome and its environs, and the items that would have been common in earlier times. It also has "...thirteen cultural essays in English [that] help to bring out the social values of the classical studies."
