The Albanians, by contrast, are superb at fitting in. St. Albans is a tiny school only 70-odd boys per class. It is too small for cliques. Its size and traditionalism compel conformity. Students adopt the St. Albans style athletic, sarcastic, hardworking or they drown.
Nonconformists detest the school and usually leave or suffer.
The Albanians lack the overt, grasping ambition that defines many politicians, including most of their dads. Except for Ford, they are not natural glad-handers. Their fathers were vigorously liberal. The sons are not ideological. St. Albans trained them to trust cool analysis and the reasonable solution.
