Welton Magnets
Description: Welton Academy is an all boys preparatory school established in 1859. In her first year, Welton Academy graduated five students. In 1958 it graduated fifty-one. And more than seventy-five percent of those went on to the Ivy League. The film's Welton Academy in Vermont was fictional, based on a Nashville prep school Schulman attended as a teen. More than 100 schools across the country were considered as the setting of Welton Academy. When "Poets" director Peter Weir pulled up to St. Andrews School for the first time "his eyes got as big as saucers," producer Steven Haft told The News Journal at the time. "He turned to me and said, 'This is it.'"

Description: "O Captain! My Captain!" is an extended metaphor poem written by Walt Whitman in 1865 about the death of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. Immediately successful, the poem was Whitman's first to be anthologized and the most popular during his lifetime. Together with "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd", "Hush'd Be the Camps To-day", and "This Dust was Once the Man", it is one of four poems written by Whitman about the death of Lincoln. During the American Civil War, Whitman moved to Washington, D.C., where he worked for the government and volunteered at hospitals. Although he never met Lincoln, Whitman felt a connection to him and was greatly moved by Lincoln's assassination.
