HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL Indian Springs School was founded in 1952 by Birmingham-born, MIT-educated businessman Harvey G. Woodward, who left the funds and instructions for creating the school in his will at his death in 1930. In some ways, his vision was a progressive one. Woodward wanted to make the school available to both Alabama's elite and rural poor. He instructed that the school should champion a holistic approach to learning (the school's motto is "Discere Vivendo," or "Learning Through Living.") During its first years, the school was a working farm which the students tended. However, Woodward also stipulated that the school could Only Admit Whites And Males , limitations which were successfully challenged in court. PRESENT-DAY INDIAN SPRINGS SCHOOL In 2004 , ISS had 268 students, 74% of whom were Day students and 26% of whom were boarders. NOTABLE SPRINGS ALUMNI
