A key concept of private education is that students, faculty and administratoi ' s enjoy an intimate working relationship that is generally not possible in public schools For the ast 38 years now, no one at Harvard has embodied this concept better than Nathaniel G. Hughes. i Mr Hughes received his B.E. from UCLA in 1947, and then moved directly to Harvard. I Initially he taught Mechanical Drawing, English, and Social Studies. Then in 1948, he 1 became Head of the Lower School, though he continued to teach until 1971, when he assumed full-time administrative duties. This year ' s graduating seniors are the last class to have had him as a teacher, l)ut all those who ever passed through the Lower School during his tenure there surely recall his way of calming down an.xious and nervous 11 year-olds during their first Harvard inter- view; and after admission, the small notes of encouragement, adulation and sometimes disappointment which he wrote on the back of our report cards; and finally, the long let- ters at the end of the 8th grade evaluating our first two years at Harvard. Mr Hughes has always tried to personally know every student at Harvard, and for this he has gained both adm ' iration and respect from all those who have come in contact with him. For three-fourths of a century. Harvard School has aimed at offering a more personal- ized education to its students. For half of that span, Mr. Hughes has done much to further that aim. And so, in grateful recognition of his dedicated contribution to the lite ot our school, the class of ' 76 dedicates this annual to him. 13
