History
During the early 20th century, two schools were founded in Minneapolis to prepare students for elite colleges in the northeast: The Blake School for boys and Northrop Collegiate School for girls. A third school, Highcroft Country Day School serving coeducational students, was incorporated during the migration to Minneapolis suburbs. In 1974, the three schools merged to become The Blake Schools, with its first coeducational graduating in 1975.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The principal office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–c. 120)
“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.”
—Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
