The F. Washington Jarvis Chair in Religions and Ethics

was established in 1988 by Mrs. Dudley (Kay) Blossom, Mrs. Stephen O’Neill and an anonymous donor in honor of the Rev. F. Washington “Tony” Jarvis. The charge for the chair is to guide the exploration of religious and ethical expression and strengthen the awareness of the unity between the truth of religious experience and the goodness of human community within the University School community. It is devoted to promoting a community-wide appreciation of the religious dimension of human experience and to understanding the basis for decent and humane relationships between persons: ethics.

Chair holder Peter Paik joined University School in 2000. He teaches history and English and is head coach of Debate. Previous responsibilities at US include advising the Society of Skeptics. He holds a B.A. from Brown University and a M.A. from the Harvard Divinity School at which he also completed the Program in Religion and Secondary Education.
