The American College of Switzerland Glory Days & Demise 1963–1991

Everyone who David Thomas knows from his days in Leysin has an interesting story about how they ended up there. This is his. This is also a story about the rise and fall of the American College of Switzerland and how, as student body president, David got caught in the middle of a financial scandal that hinted at bigger problems below the surface. Those who attended ACS from 1963 to 1991 know it was a special school – although small and obscure, the education was really the extraordinary experience itself. Its demise was unnecessary and, sadly, self-inflicted.
