Tingley, Exeter's 13th principal.  The materials in the current Library exhibit represent general themes of the period of Ty's administration. 

The first half of the exhibit covers Academy master planning, conversations about Harkness teaching, curriculum review, the Exeter [fund raising] Initiatives, the development of new summer programs for adults, and the development of a new program for younger students in the Exeter Summer School. 

The second half covers the changes that have been made to employee benefits, programs established to improve the security of our campus; programs established to extend the concepts of the Harkness classroom into all aspects of a student's life outside the classroom; efforts to enhance "connections" made between students, their peers, and the adults in the community; the transformation of the landscaping on campus; the construction or renovation of several major buildings; the purchase or construction of numerous new homes for faculty; and the historic decision to offer an Exeter education to qualified students with family incomes of $75000 or less. 

The last two sections cover Mr. Tingley's English course, "Fellowship and Fantasy," as well as his interest in fishing, and one final case treats the contributions that Marcia Tingley has made to the Exeter community.
