28pp., 4to. Stapled into brown wraps with title printed on cover. In fair condition, aged and worn, with short closed tear at foot of first leaf. On the first page: 'Confidential. | To the Friends of Gordonstoun | For Private Circulation Only.' Kahn's inscription, at the head of the cover, reads: 'To W. H. Green and J. F. Green with love and gratitude for their help to a guilty Headmaster on the 17. VI. 1944. | Kurt Hahn | 13. VI. 45.' Scarce: only three copies found on COPAC or OCLC WorldCat. (These entries are variously dated to 1941 and 1943, but neither date can be correct, as the pamphlet refers to events in 1944.) Both the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince Charles were educated at Gordonstoun, which the latter described as 'Colditz in kilts'.
