Abstract
Participant observation of the summer school of an elite boy's school in New England produced hypotheses that the summer culture stressed (a) getting into a prestige college; (b) moderation in control of bad impulses; (c) authority as good, strong, and impersonal; (d) cynical sophistication; and (e) antihumanitarianism. High school boys who attended the school showed the effects of (b), (d), and (e)--labeled the classic personal style--in 2 successive summers as compared to control nonattenders so far as associative thought sequences were concerned (in projective tests), but not in answer to questionnaire-type tests.
