Renowned Architect of Huseby House Dies at 86
David Sellers, a renowned architect whose work includes Putney’s Huseby House, died at 86. An article in The New York Times states, “he believed that architects could design better building if they did the construction themselves.” True to form, he used wood from Putney land to build the common room and staircase, and included Putney students as a major part of the design process. His legacy lives on in Putney largest dorm, and all the expressive, innovative structures he erected in Vermont, and beyond.

Alumni Newsletter
June 2025
Recently, at reunion, a former faculty member noted how much the trees have grown. It felt like a metaphor for so much of what we do. While the roots dig deeper into the ground and the trees grow stronger and taller, we also need to tend and care for things that seem solid and permanent, and not take them for granted. As we close the books on our school year, the tending to what matters-the teaching of students and the building of community-remains as important as ever.
Family Newsletter
Tomorrow is our first Putney Unplugged day, and the entire community will be putting down devices, logging off, and experimenting with analog living and learning. The initiative was brought to EPC (the Educational Programs Committee) by students as an experiment for our community.
