The location on the east hill of Hurricane Mountain was ideal as such luminaries as William James, Felix Adler, and Prestonia Mann already owned properties in the region. Stephen F. Weston and E.T. Harris had cottages on Davidson's land and John Dewey purchased land across the brook from the school. He envisioned the school as an experiment focusing on the whole person studying intellect, affections and will.…
