Angus Freathy OA (1957-65) has made the generous decision to remember the College in his will. Angus remembers how much having financial assistance to attend the College has impacted his life and wants to make sure he is paying this forward so others can benefit from bursarial support in a similar way that he did. "I would have never gone to Dulwich had it not been for the Dulwich Experiment, as my family were not affluent and could never have afforded the fees. I remember clearly the Master at the time, Ronald Groves, saying that he believed that “the average pupil should get as much opportunity and support to succeed at the outstanding pupils.” This is something that I believe is still at the heart of Dulwich, and why boys from the College go on to succeed in such a variety of fields. At Dulwich, I learned not only what was in my books and exams, but I learned about life. It gave me a self-awareness that has helped me move through life and taught me how to think independently. For me, leaving a gift in my will is a tangible way of paying back the opportunity that has benefitted me throughout my life. I think the College is fantastic and its commitment to evolution and continued diversity is quite something, and I am proud to be a part of that both in my lifetime and beyond. To think I can help contribute to someone attending the College in some small way is fantastic, and I am proud to do so.”
