Seventy-five years ago this month American Ken McDonald left America to spend a year on the British-American Schoolboy Scholarship (now our Secondary School Exchange) at Christ’s Hospital school in Sussex. In this video, made by Paul Wade, a British alumnus of the programme, Ken shares his memories of his tutors, school life and the British cultural events he was able to experience. We particularly enjoy his recollections of the debating society, and his opposition to the motion that ‘Columbus went too far’.
