ARIEL PARISH 1852 Mr. Parish is one of those few men, in early American education, who never once lowered his standards or weakened his discipline against public opposition. He worked vigorously to develop Clas- sical in its early days and his motto was “There is no difficulty to him that wills”. 12 MR. CHATTO 1952 No one can talk to Mr. Chatto without feeling completely at ease. The door to his office is never closed, and he is never too busy to listen to anyone who needs help. Patient, understand- ing, sincere—Mr. Chatto has en- deared himself to us because of his implicit faith in youth.
