Hawley's Essay's-One of a Kind

Dr. Richard Hawley has done a splendid job at giving the reading of any of his compositions a firm idea of what he is trying to communicate to them, and keeping them interested as they read the piece. He does this in all of his works, from the Western Civilization pamphlets he wrote in the late 1970's, to the periodic letters he addresses to the University School Community. Papers from the Headmaster once again fits into the mold of Hawley's better piece's, perhaps his best published work so far. His tales of boys who he has come into contact to during his three decade teaching career are amazing, particularly of the tales of Dave Chollet. Although most of these stories Dr. Hawley shares are recylcled from his speaches he gives during morning assembly at University School, they are still elequently crafted and Pulitzer Prize worthy.
