{"value"=>"<p>Originally called the Cutler School for Boys, the Cutler School was a private day school established in New York City in 1876 by Dr. Arthur Hamilton Cutler (1849-1918) to prepare students for the nation's most prestigious colleges. Cutler graduated from Harvard (Class of 1870) and began his career in education in 1873 as a private tutor to the young Theodore Roosevelt. Three years later he opened his own school and served as its headmaster until his death in 1918. Henry Harrison served as headmaster from 1918 until 1928, and the school closed its doors sometime thereafter. The majority of Cutler School graduates attended Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, and Yale, and Cutler alumni numbered among the ranks of New York City's most prominent businessmen and politicians.</p>"}
