Suggestion

I noted that the cost of tuition is not mentioned in the article. If that information is available, it would be very relevant to add. Thanks. -Emiellaiendiay 04:55, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Although it is not included in any of the other private school pages... why should it be here.

PA Schedule???

I really don't think the article needs a schedule of performances, and the schedule is no longer current. Julian Maestas 00:59, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, we should delete it. Also I remember someone deleting that Ben Wildman-Tobriner was a famous alumni, could you find a source about him being the fastest backstroker in the world? --SeanMcG 20:50, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lick-Wilmerding School is a San Francisco boys' high school offering college preparatory and technical courses. Originally, there were two schools, the Lick School (incorporated as the California School of Mechanical Arts) and the Wilmerding School, each separately endowed.

The Wilmerding School of Industrial Arts was opened in 1900 in accordance with the terms of a $400,000 bequest to the Regents by Jillis Clute Wilmerding in 1894. The nearby California School of Mechanics Arts was established in 1895, through an endowment by James Lick, left in trust to a self-perpetuating body of trustees.

In 1901, the Regents placed Wilmerding School under the directorship of the principal of the Lick School. Both were trade schools, with the Lick School offering a college preparatory course as well. Students were enrolled in one school, but were allowed to take courses in both. So many students made use of this arrangement that beginning in January, 1905, all boys were admitted concurrently in both schools and upon graduation were granted a diploma in the names of both schools.

In 1941, the Regents and the Lick trustees created a joint Lick-Wilmerding Administrative Board of govern the institutions. In 1961, the Regents were granted a judicial discharge as trustees and have not been responsible for the trust funds or operations of the school since that time.--MAS
