News of the School Report from the Head of School

Early in June we celebrated the gradu-

ation of the class of 2015, a remarkable group of young men and women who will take on new opportunities across the country next year and chart the next phase of their growth and development. Their record levels for merit dollars earned (over $14 million dollars) and the diversity of their college and university matriculations (54 schools in all) speak to the strength of the class and the breadth of their vision.

They leave Park Tudor with a superb education, and they join an incredible alumni body that is eager to welcome them into the fold.

Financially, the school is equally strong. Under the careful watch of the Trust, our endowment now exceeds $77 million.

At the same time, through the generosity of our parents, alumni, friends, faculty and staff, we again achieved record-level giving to the Annual Fund. Moreover, through careful stewardship of our operational funds, we continue to reduce our overall dependence on the endowment. With our “financial house in order,” we have in turn been able to deepen our focus on physical plant and infrastructure; faculty professional development; new programming and curricular options; and extraordinary opportunities for our students.

With the publication of our new Strategic Plan, PT2020, we have also charted the next phase of Park Tudor’s evolution, with the goal of connecting our past to our future. The strategic plan covers three broad areas of inquiry—academics, community, and sustainability—and over the last year we have made significant inroads in all areas.

Among our many academic goals, perhaps the most important is the charge “to think creatively and expansively about time, schedule, and calendar.” While maintaining emphasis on traditional academic opportunities, the Scheduling Committee, which was formed in February 2015, will focus on the following: maintaining a clear balance between the arts, athletics and academics; promoting intentional time for faculty and students to collaborate; allowing time for more integrated and interdisciplinary work; providing time for greater emphasis on implementing our core values;

4

and increasing our focus on community engagement and global thinking. Ultimately, our plan is to have a working draft of a new schedule by the spring of 2016 that accomplishes these many goals.

Equally important has been our work on community engagement. Driven by the ongoing work of the Community Engaged Learning (CEL) Committee, the school has established a series of guiding principles and a lens through which we will develop potential CEL projects. More than anything, CEL hopes “to bridge the classroom and community” to create dynamic opportunities for our students that are embedded in the curriculum and which focus on key curricular themes. For example, our pilot ninth grade Humanities course—an integration of English I and World Civilizations I—will focus on “great cities throughout history” and will be driven by key principles of CEL. The capstone project in the course will examine a key question: “What is a major issue facing our city and its citizens? And what can we do about it?”

While traditional in readings and texts, the course will also have an external point of reference that will allow students not only to develop knowledge, but also to try it out in new and novel areas.

With the award of an E.E. Ford Innovation grant and the generous match from the community, we have also been able to launch our summer Innovators Institute. The goal of the Institute is to offer real world experiences, in which students will think critically, problem-solve, communicate and collaborate. Two areas are of particular focus: an emphasis on design thinking and innovation; and a focus on entrepreneurship, with emphasis on concepts from launching a business to funding start-ups and basic elements of successful entrepreneurial thinking. The hope is that the Institute will be a venue for piloting new ideas and curricular opportunities, and “test-driving” new courses and pedagogies.

To that end, this summer we also inaugurated two other exciting programs: the Ernst and Young (EY) Integrated Business Program and a new Southern Studies class.

Taught by EY Partner and Park Tudor parent Jeff Aldridge, the Integrated Business Program offered 20 students the opportu-

Dr. Matthew D. Miller

nity to learn about all of the key elements of business—from finance, to marketing, to supply chain operations. Students also interacted with Indianapolis-area business leaders from Fortune 500 companies like Anthem, Cummins, and Kroger. In turn, the Southern Studies class, co-taught by English Chair Jane Sidey and History Chair Sven Dubie, included two weeks of intensive reading and writing about the American South and concluded with a week-long trip to Atlanta, Memphis, and Oxford, Mississippi, among other locations.

As we pilot new curriculum and programmatic opportunities, it is equally important that we continue to focus on systemic professional development. For example, in Lower School, after a careful review of the Language Arts curriculum by the faculty and administration, we are implementing a new language acquisition program that enhances reading and writing skills. Similar to our approach to implementing the Math in Focus program, our Lower School faculty has participated in several professional development opportunities and will receive ongoing support for several years. Importantly, the “new” curriculum is in fact grounded in the hallmarks of a traditional education: close reading, strong textual analysis, systematic grammar instruction, and regular writing opportunities throughout grades 1-5.

Beyond academics, as part of our Strategic Plan we spent considerable time

News of the School Summer 2015 Park Tudor School

reviewing and refining our mission and core values. With this in mind, it is exciting to report that a recent alumni survey showed that nearly nine out of ten Park Tudor alumni either agree or strongly agree that our mission statement is consistent with their experiences here. In addition, 83% of alumni agree that our core values — respect, responsibility, resourcefulness, integrity, and intellectual engagement — match their perceptions of Park Tudor.

From the ISACS survey of current parents we conducted in the spring, eight out of ten report that the mission is widely known, endorsed and achieved.

Lastly, there have been some extraordinary student achievements in 20142015. In September, Sophomore Weston (“West”) Clark was selected as one of only five members of the 2014 class of the National Student Poets Program (NSPP), the nation’s highest honor for high-school aged poets. West was honored at the White House, where he and his colleagues conducted a reading for First Lady Michelle Obama. In addition, Victoria Xiao, a 5th grader, represented the state of Indiana at the national “You be the Chemist” competition in Washington, D.C. Vanessa was the youngest participant at the contest (which was primarily composed of 8th grade students) and was one of only four young women in the field of thirty-six students.

Senior Danny Rayl won his second boys singles tennis state championship. Finally, the boys varsity basketball team won its fourth state title in five years, a string of success unmatched in the annals of Indiana high school hoops. This is far from an exhaustive list.

As you can see, there is a lot to be proud of at Park Tudor, and I hope you will visit the school to see first-hand all of the great things going on at your school. I look forward to updating you in the coming months, and as always I welcome your feedback.

102 Graduates Celebrated at Commencement Ceremonies on May 31

A

packed house was on-hand at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church to see the 102 members of the class of 2015 join the ranks of Park Tudor graduates on Sunday, May 31.

“In order to have deep, meaningful and successful relationships with other people you must know yourself,” was some of the wisdom that keynote speaker Tom Linebarger shared with the graduates.

The chairman and chief executive officer of Cummins, Inc. and father to Park Tudor alumnae Emily ’14 and Alex Janin ’12, offered advice from a book that he wrote for his daughters, “25 Things I Hope I Told You.” Linebarger went on to remind the graduates of the value of hard work, the importance of appreciating differences in people, and the necessity to live within your means. He also advised them to always remember that their parents will love them unconditionally, and “have your back… just call them.”

In addition to Linebarger, speakers at the ceremony included Head of School Dr. Matthew Miller, who made welcoming remarks; Dr. Chris Miyamoto ’88, who brought greetings from the alumni; retiring Upper School Global Scholars Coordinator Dr. Jan Guffin, who spoke on behalf of the faculty; and Student Council PresidentElect Chris Johnson ’16, who represented the student body. The Park Tudor Singers performed musical selections.

Welcoming Remarks: Dr. Matthew D. Miller, Head of School “Seniors: You have been blessed with a remarkable education that will serve you well now, and down the road, and we couldn’t be more proud of your accomplishments. We hope that you will have amazing experiences in the coming months and years and we know you will accomplish incredible things. As you continue to grow and as you evolve into your life as an adult, please keep in mind the concept of also working on becoming the person you

6

want to be and spend time developing that equally important side of your personality.

I wish you all the best and I look forward to following your progress. We will miss you!”

Greetings from Alumni: Dr. Chris Miyamoto ‘88 “Make this wonderful education and opportunity worthwhile and meaningful.

Your parents and family have invested significant time and resources in you – continue to make them proud. The faculty, coaches, and staff have similarly invested in you and wish you success. I would ask you to incorporate some aspect of service in your lives as you have learned here in school – support the communities to which you belong. The diplomas and education we possess are a privilege and we should use these advantages to help those around us and not just ourselves. Our society will need your contributions, large and small, helping individuals or larger segments of the population.”

Greetings from the Student Body: Christman Johnson ’16, Student Council President-Elect “The positive atmosphere created by this class is present in nearly every facet of Park Tudor life. On athletic fields and courts, these student-athletes have proven time and again that they are not merely champions of their respective sports, but champions at heart. As seniors, the Class of 2015 has brought teams closer than ever before, mentoring younger teammates as well as radiating school spirit unique to this class. Not only has this class displayed authentic character in athletics, but these leaders have graced the halls of Park Tudor with imaginative artistic works and charmed audience after audience in Ayres Auditorium. It is during these performances - be they on the field or in the theatre that one can truly glimpse the joy these students receive when working together.

The remarkable part is that rather than let this sense of togetherness create a barrier between them and the rest of the student body, the members of the Class of 2015 extended their arms to promote a school-wide sense of camaraderie throughout their high school careers.”

Greetings from the Faculty: Dr. Jan Guffin, Upper School Global Scholars Coordinator

“It was one of our most celebrated scientists, Albert Einstein, who expressed it best when he asserted that ‘Everything that’s countable doesn’t count, and everything that counts is not countable.’ …So I urge you, class of 2015, to reflect on the face time you and I have been privileged to share, to consider the value-added component of an extraordinary high school and do whatever you can to maintain a balance between face time and Facebook as you enter this exciting new period of your lives.

Look at me, Class of 2015, look at your parents, look at my colleagues, everyone, look at each other and let’s face it together: everything that counts isn’t countable – we need each other alive and in person.”

Address to the Graduates: Tom Linebarger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Cummins, Inc.

“You do not need much money to live a happy life. Most of life’s true joys cost very little. Love, friendships, exploring nature, engaging discussions with friends and colleagues, reading great stories, having a family – these are the things that have made my life rich and all can be had for very little money. The important thing is to match your lifestyle to your means. What makes us miserable is to desire more things than we can afford to buy. Happiness does not come from money or things or fine living.

It comes from having love. Start by knowing and loving yourself. Then you can love and be loved by others. A loving relationship with a partner, family, and friends is the most important ingredient in a happy, fulfilling life.”

“Bridging Classroom and Community:” Community-Engaged Learning at Park Tudor

Park Tudor, Indianapolis, and global communities. Some examples include: • Habitat for Humanity – Since 1999, Park Tudor’s partnership with Habitat for Humanity allows students to gain experience in fundraising as well as project coordination, as they help to manage the school’s participation from start-to-finish.

key area of focus of the PT2020 Strategic Plan is Community, with the goal of preparing students to engage with the local and global community. As we begin to implement various action steps to accomplish this objective, during the 20142015 school year we formed a committee of faculty, staff, parents, and board members who worked since fall 2014 studying best practices from schools across the country and creating a framework for community service, service learning, sustainability and community-based learning experiences at Park Tudor.

Co-chaired by Associate Head of School for Academic Affairs Peter Kraft and Indianapolis-based consultant Luana Nissan, the first step for the committee was to develop a “purpose and guiding principles” statement, outlining Park Tudor’s objectives and approach and aligning with the school’s mission, vision and core values. As Nissan explains, “It is crucial that we use a shared language across the school, focus on impactful student learning and mutually beneficial relationships with partners, and engage faculty and students in issues and experiences that call to them.”

The committee’s resulting framework of “Community-Engaged Learning” (CEL), Kraft notes, “identifies a real need in the community and then connects that need explicitly to the curriculum.” Through an experiential project or initiative, students develop skills and draw on content learned in the classroom. In this way, CEL “bridges classroom and community” by examining issues like hunger, shelter, education and health while meeting curricular goals. “Community-Engaged Learning is also broad enough to encompass community service, service learning, and community-based learning experiences, which are all crucial to a well-rounded education.”

The result is deep student learning that addresses authentic needs and issues in the

• Upper School Biology Students Help to Save Monarch Butterflies – Guided by faculty member Mark Dewart, Upper School biology students studied migratory monarch butterflies and the factors leading to their diminishing population. They then engaged the full Upper School community to help plant milkweed around the campus, with the hope of providing a place for monarch butterflies to feed as they make their yearly journey.

A

• WaterWeek – Middle School students marked WaterWeek, designed to help enhance understanding of the importance of access to clean water in developing nations. In addition to activities designed to simulate some of the challenges faced by residents of developing countries in securing water, Middle School students designed several fundraising events that eventually raised enough water to fund a well.

This fall, the new Humanities 9 (an integration of English I and World Civilizations I classes) that will examine “great cities” throughout history, culminating with a study of 20th and 21st century Indianapolis, will also undertake a CEL project. The project’s critical question will be: “What is a major problem / issue (or ‘authentic need’) facing Indianapolis and its citizens?

And what can we do about it?”

“This is what makes CEL so powerful: students take ownership of the learning,” said Mark Dewart. “CEL embeds service learning in the curriculum, which lets students see their knowledge at work.”

While CEL is still in its infancy at Park Tudor, teachers from all four divisions recently discussed its potential applications at an all-school faculty meeting on April 14. And, for the 2015-2016 year, plans are already being made for a community-wide “CEL Service Day” as part of the larger Indianapolis “Indy Do Day” initiative. Faculty and staff will also participate in CEL

activities as part of their Professional Development day planned for October.

The ultimate goal of all of this work, says Kraft, “is to look for connections within and between divisions and to help students make a real difference in the Indianapolis community...and the world.”

Key Principles of CEL: • Student Growth: We believe the development of character and a focus on foundational skills are essential elements of a great education. Moreover, we believe that exceptional educators make learning authentic by utilizing rigorous experiential and interdisciplinary approaches to help students make connections and apply their knowledge and skills in the broader community. Skills like collaboration, problem identification and problem solving, creativity, and flexibility prepare students to thrive as citizens in our complex world.

• Multiple Lenses: As a school community committed to the inherent value of all people, we believe that part of a great education is multiplying the lenses through which students view their world. Well-designed and intentional community engagement helps build empathy and enrich students’ broader understanding of themselves and others. Empathy and a global perspective are essential for students’ leadership development, civic engagement and care for their world.

• Mutual Benefit: We believe that partnerships between schools and community organizations must meet real needs and be based on mutual benefit. Through partnerships with local and international organizations, school communities can work with a diverse group of people to address key issues and challenges of our time. We recognize that these partnerships must be financially and organizationally sustainable and built over time.

• The Common Good: We believe schools advance the common good by helping their students, faculty, staff, families and alumni make connections and contributions to their community and understand better the pressing needs of the world.

Spring athletic update BOYS & GIRLS TRACK

It was a record-breaking spring for two boys this spring. Seniors Marcus Downs and Logan Lowry broke school records in two separate field events. Logan broke the school Shot Put record with a toss of 52-3 - breaking his own school record.

Marcus Downs shattered his own school record in the Discus with an impressive throw of 184-6, good enough for a thirdplace finish at the state meet in Bloomington. Both Logan and Marcus earned firstplace at the Indiana Crossroads Conference meet in their respective events. The boys team placed 9th at the North Central Regional. Evan Lee placed 2nd in the 800M Run (1:57.53) to qualify for a spot in the state meet. The boys and girls placed 3rd and 2nd, respectively, at the ICC meet.

Individual conference champions include Bosi Mosongo in the High Jump, Evan Lee in the 400M Dash and High Jump, Brent Brimmage in the Long Jump, Logan Lowry in the Shot Put, Marcus Downs in the Discus, and Sofia Bergener, Jenna Beagle, Hannah Shafique and Jessica Palmer in the 4x800 Relay. The boys team set four conference meet records: Evan Lee in the 400M Dash and High Jump, Logan Lowry in the Shot Put, and Marcus Downs in the Discus. Lee’s High Jump of 6-06.25 is a new school record.

BOYS GOLF The boys golf team finished with an impressive 7-2 dual match record to go along with their conference championship.

Top scorers at the meet included Alex Honigford (80), Stephen Kocerha (81) and Ben Rhodehamel (82), earning each of them All Conference honors. In sectional play, the boys finished 4th with Stephen Kocerha advancing as an individual to regional play in the state tournament. In Marion County

Innovators: Alums who are making their mark in technology

By Lisa Hendrickson ’77

Park Tudor alumni are making names for themselves in the

world of technology.

In this issue of the Phoenix, as well as in the upcoming fall issue, we will profile several alums who’ve gone high-tech, from some who are just starting their careers to one who’s worked in the field since nearly the beginning.

John Atcheson ’77 Founder and CEO, Stuffstr Seattle, Washington

John Atcheson has spent the last 30 years pushing the boundaries of technology. From inventing the concept of “collaborative filtering” to founding an award-winning startup focused on increasing the reuse of unused items, the Seattle-based entrepreneur and inventor hasn’t stopped innovating.

Atcheson double majored in economics and music at Brown University, then went on to earn his M.B.A. at Stanford, where his interest was in the field of renewable energy. His timing couldn’t have been worse. “I thought renewables were going to be the future,” he remembers, “but when I graduated, there was absolutely nothing going on. All of the funding was being slashed.”

So, enamored with both computers and music (he sang in the Madrigals at Park Tudor), upon graduation he “hit the streets with my M.B.A. in hand” and ended up in the San Francisco Bay Area.

18

That was 1987, and he was hired as the eighth employee and marketing director of a small company called Digidesign. Although you may not recognize its name, Digidesign created the homerecording software Pro Tools, which remains widely used today.

Through that venture, Atcheson became connected with the folks at Apple, which at the time was expanding into the multimedia business. He took a job with Macromedia, the first company to develop multimedia software, and while there, founded a start-up called MusicNet. It was the first interactive music service.

“It was bleeding edge, but not necessarily in a good way,” he says. Bleeding edge in a bad way because it was created preinternet, which meant sending music over slow-speed modems.

Bleeding edge in a good way, because it was the first-ever use of collaborative filtering—that is, recommending selections to people based on their personal preferences. Think Pandora, Netflix, Amazon….

“Everything we did with MusicNet was paving new ground, and some of it became core elements of digital music,” he says. In fact, Atcheson and Stanford professor James R. Miller III were the co-inventors of collaborative filtering, patented in 1993.

Unfortunately, record companies weren’t ready for it.

Atcheson remembers going to meet with the CEO of a major record company and bringing along his (pre-laptop) computer: “The CEO said, ‘You can come in, but not that thing—no computer’s coming in my door.’”

“The attitude of the industry was, things are good for us, we

Feature Summer 2015 Park Tudor School

John Atcheson ’77

don’t want that digital stuff,” Atcheson says.

That’s when he met John Doerr, senior partner of the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. The original investor in Lotus and Compaq, Doerr took an interest in MusicNet and became its lead investor. At about that same time, people in Silicon Valley started talking about a little thing called the “World Wide Web.” John Doerr “was the evangelist for the Internet,” says Atcheson. “He even came up with the whole concept of broadband.”

It was a time of rapid change. “The business models were pivoting 180 degrees at a moment’s notice,” he says. “We were pioneering the first home delivery of music, but people didn’t feel comfortable putting their credit card numbers in the computer.”

Eventually, he sold the core components of MusicNet to RealNetworks, the pioneer of streaming media, and ended up in Seattle, where he oversaw RealNetworks’ content offerings. When RealNetworks went public, Atcheson decided it was time to take some time off.

“That really marked a whole transition point for me. I was burned out; I felt like I hadn’t spent enough time with my daughters.” He took Page and Laine (today 25 and 23) on a cross-country train trip and spent nine months exploring past interests.

He joined the Seattle Symphony Chorale, became the bass section leader and joined the Seattle Symphony board. He was elected board chair of Sightline Institute, a think tank that researches environmental sustainability. That position started him thinking about the sharing economy.

He returned to the Bay Area, where startups abounded. He consulted for the peer-to-peer car-sharing network Getaround, then worked to help coordinate regulatory-related strategies for Airbnb, Uber and Lyft.

Then along came the concept of Stuffstr, the startup he cofounded last year. “In America, 80 percent of the things we own are used less than once a month,” he says. “We’ve got about 7,000 dollars worth of unused stuff sitting in the American home. Twenty-four billion is spent on self-storage—that’s seven square feet for every man, woman and child in America. It’s unbelievably wasteful in terms of money and resources,” he says with the zeal of an evangelist. “Stuffstr is designed to fundamentally move the needle on that.”

How does it work? Stuffstr partners with retailers to catalog your purchases on your smartphone. The password-protected system stores what you bought, how much you paid for it, the model number, and more. Then it tracks the resale value of the item. If you need to repair it, Stuffstr will find someone to fix it. If you want to resell it, Stuffstr will hook you up with a buyer. If you prefer to donate it, Stuffstr will connect you with a charity.

“It makes you very aware of the value of your stuff and how that value’s changing all the time,” he says. “The path of least resistance becomes the path of maximizing the value. Our belief is that people will actually start recirculating things.”

Others are believers, too. Some of the nation’s largest retailers soon will start piloting the system. Stuffstr, a legally recognized Public Benefit Corporation, has been named a member of the MacArthur Foundation’s Circular Economy 100, and was invited to present at the group’s conference in Copenhagen in April. In June, Stuffstr won the Target Corporation Award at the Sustainable Brands Innovation Open in San Diego.

Atcheson sums up his passion for innovation: “For me, there’s nothing more fulfilling than going into a room with a huge white board and saying, ‘Here’s a big problem, now how do we address and solve it?’”

Bob Markley ’00 3rd Dimension Industrial 3D Printing Indianapolis

Bob Markley ’00 and his four-person team at 3rd Dimension Industrial 3D Printing are getting ready to send the fruits of their labors to the moon—the real moon, that is.

Markley, an engineer who earned a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering technology from Purdue University and an M.B.A. from Butler, owns this startup— one of only a few in the country that specialize in 3D metal printing. The company creates lightweight made-to-order components for aerospace companies and several Fortune 100 companies.

3rd Dimension has just finished building a series of palmsized aluminum capsules that will land on the moon early next year as part of the Carnegie Mellon University Robotic Institute’s quest for the Google Lunar X Prize. A team of artists is creating the Moon Arts Ark, which contains elements representing the arts and humanities. Four “Ark” capsules created by 3rd Dimension and the elements stored within them will remain on the moon, and a duplicate set of four will be exhibited in Paris and 10 other European cities next year.

Markley says competitors recommended 3rd Dimension for the project. “We’re being told we make some of the best parts in

19

Feature Summer 2015 Park Tudor School

the world right now,” he adds. “The industry is still very, very young. We work together; it’s definitely growing and we’re all trying to get stronger.”

“I don’t see us ever replacing traditional manufacturing, but I see us complementing it,” he says, noting that he sees the most promise in industries such as aviation, where the weight of components is an issue.

In the office complex at 71st and Zionsville Roads in Indianapolis, three large self-enclosed 3D laser printers are humming away in a clean, well-lit room. The machines create components by spreading micro-thin layers of metal powder onto a template; a very fine laser then melts the powder. One set of components can take anywhere from five hours to ten days to complete.

“We try to put as many parts on each build as we can,” says Markley, who has spent many nights sleeping on a futon in the office so he can watch over the machines while they’re operating.

He credits his early career with leading him to the business opportunity. Markley was an IndyCar engineer for nearly a decade before moving on to Rolls Royce, and then General Motors, in Indianapolis. A few years ago, when he learned he was going to be transferred to Michigan, he and his wife, a veterinarian, decided

they didn’t want to move. “I put together a business plan, found a banker who would take it on, and away we went,” he says.

“The skills I learned from racing definitely translated into this field,” he says. “In that industry, everybody’s improving and constantly pushing the boundaries.”

Markley also values the long hours he spent working as a team member in Park Tudor’s Technical Theatre Department and the lessons he learned from Technical Theatre Director Rob Hueni.

“I gained a lot of confidence through that program, of not being afraid to try something.”

Markley’s business is still in the research and development phase; over the past two years he estimates he has built tens of thousands of test samples. So far, all of the company’s business has come via word of mouth, but he’s just hired a business development manager and soon plans to kick off a significant development phase.

He credits his wife, Arielle, for supporting him as he builds the business. “There’s been a lot of sacrifice, both time and financially. Everything I’m making is going back into growing this business,” he says, adding, “We’re so far ahead of where I’ve had the business plan at this point—that’s a testament to her support.”

And he credits his small team of employees, who all “have that same mentality of trying new things and an openness and willingness to learn.”

You might not think of “big data” as helping to solve important world problems, but in Michael Harris’s world, it does. Harris is a software engineer at Palantir, which mines big data to help do such things as find abducted children, save women from sex traffickers, shut down massive fraud rings, and track and stop foodborne illnesses.

“I’ve always wanted to work on problems that have a significant impact in the world,” says Harris, who graduated from Stanford University in 2010 (in three years, no less) with a B.S. in computer science.

Harris has what he calls his “dream job,” working on Palantir’s Universal Data Pipeline project. Engineers consolidate customers’ data sources and integrate them into Palantir’s analysis platforms, helping to provide an overall “big picture” of a particular issue or challenge. He’s involved in design and planning work, along with writing, testing, documenting and releasing code. He also serves as a mentor to interns, is involved in recruiting, and at times serves as a technical adviser for other Palantir projects.

Harris started working as an intern at the company while still at Stanford, then stayed on as a part-time employee until he completed his degree.

“I really enjoy building things and solving problems, and software is something I enjoy particularly,” he says. “There’s also a huge need for software engineers, and Palantir has a pretty uniquely compelling mission that I’m really excited to be a part of.”

With the industry changing so quickly, Harris admits that it’s challenging to keep up with innovations. He reads recent papers

published by respected companies in the field, such as Google, Facebook and Twitter, and keeps track of popular software in the open source community, “especially those developed under respected names like Apache,” he says.

Asked to predict what the technology landscape will look like ten years from now, Harris says, “Wearable technology is starting to pick up the pace a lot. Self-driving cars are on the horizon—I’ve seen several going about their business near the Google campus.”

He says he wouldn’t be surprised if we see some radical changes to society in the next decade, but also “wouldn’t be surprised if some of these crazier ideas fizzle out or end up taking way longer than people are expecting, and we barely see any substantive change. Either way though, it’s a really cool time to be a part of the technology industry because there are some really huge things happening,” he says.

As for where Park Tudor fits in his career trajectory, he adds, “The faculty at PT are phenomenal and prepared me incredibly well for Stanford,” Harris says. “Mr. Ritz in particular encouraged me in all the right ways to pursue computer science and gave me every opportunity to gain exposure to it…. Would I have landed on software engineering regardless? There’s a decent chance I would have, but PT definitely removed any obstacles that were in the way of me getting there.”

Another PT alum, Michael Wintermeyer ’10 also works at Palantir.

While at the University of Washington, Anokwa and his colleagues created Open Data Kit (ODK)—free, open-source software that is used in connection with mobile phones to help medical and aid professionals collect and share information in underserved areas of the world. He is the co-founder and CEO of Nafundi, which makes ODK and similar technologies available wherever they may be needed.

The award noted, “Six years after its release, ODK is now one of the most widely used tools for data collection. It has been deployed by tens of thousands of organizations to replace tens of millions of paper forms, in domains as varied as climate monitoring, microfinance, and public health. Its users include the Red Cross, the Jane Goodall Institute, the Carter Center, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Google.”

Anokwa also has been honored by the National Science Foundation, the Ford Foundation and the Tides Foundation.

• Erin Hoffman ’11 soon will be headed to Anokwa’s alma mater, the University of Washington, to begin her Ph.D. studies in human-centered design and engineering. She graduated in May from Michigan State University with a degree in computer science. While there, Hoffman worked as a research assistant, developing campus navigation apps for blind students.

During her college years, she also has worked as a web developer at Crowe Horwath in Indianapolis and as an Android developer at Facebook in Silicon Valley and New York City.

“Millionaire’s Row”: Tudor Hall residence was born as a country estate

By Lisa Hendrickson ’77

In the 1960s, Tudor Hall stood on a road once known as “Million-

aire’s Row” because of the grand estates built there in the earliest decades of the 20th century.

Tudor Hall’s address, 3650 Cold Spring Road, originally belonged to the sumptuous 44-acre Sommers estate. Built for a cost of $1 million between 1922 and 1924, it was the home of businessman Charles Birk Sommers, his wife Leonore, and their two sons, Sheldon Charles and Richard. When the Sommers family sold the estate to Tudor Hall in 1958, the elegant mansion became a boarding residence for dozens of teenage girls.

The Sommers house perches high on a hill, looking as if it came straight out of a children’s storybook. Designed in the English Cotswold style by Indianapolis architect Herbert Bass, its fieldstone walls, arched eyebrow dormers and curving “faux” thatched roof give the impression of a centuries-old country manor house. In fact, the Sommers estate is a prime example of the late19th and early 20th-century American Country House movement, and for that reason it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

The grounds, designed by noted Danish-born landscape architect Jens Jensen—father of the Prairie style of landscape design— included a Japanese garden with waterfall, a formal perennial garden, and a series of arched stone bridges that cross Crooked Creek, which winds through the property.

The amenities also included a clay tennis court, a swimming pool made of imported Italian tile, an adjacent stone bathhouse, and a miniature golf course.

Sommers, who made his fortune in real estate and the early automobile industry, was a friend and business associate of James Allison, Carl Fisher and Frank Wheeler, three of the men who founded the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Stone bridges on the Sommers estate crossed Crooked Creek.

Stewart Manor as it looks today.

In March 1911, Sommers bought six acres of land on the west side of Cold Spring Road for $17,000. At the same time, James Allison purchased an adjoining lot for $3,800. The Indianapolis Star noted, “Carl G. Fisher owns a tract of land adjoining Mr. Sommers’s land on the south. It is the intention of Messrs. Sommers, Allison and Fisher to build homes there.” They were joined on “Millionaire’s Row” by their colleague Wheeler.

Although the others built their houses immediately, Sommers didn’t start construction of his estate until ten years later. Bass, Knowlton and Company designed both the Allison and Sommers residences (although Allison fired Bass before the interior of his own house was finished ).

The Sommers family entertained frequently, and many wellknown guests came to visit. Some of the most famous ones—Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Joseph Conrad, Luther Burbank, Orville Wright and James Whitcomb Riley—etched their names in a living room stained-glass window, reportedly using a diamond reserved especially for that purpose.

The home’s dining room “was definitely worthy of a queen,” wrote the Sommers’s daughter-in-law Sher Lee Sommers, who noted that the Sommers held a luncheon for Queen Marie of Romania when she visited Indianapolis. “The wood carving, Oriental rug, silk tapestry, petit point chair seats, Venetian glass chandelier,

and oil paintings held up under the closest scrutiny,” she noted.

The dining table, which seated 14, was outfitted with a fountain in its center.

A garden room featured four landscape designs made of Rookwood tile and a bronze fountain. A basement room, dubbed “The Inn,” was styled in the manner of an English pub, complete with fireplace, hare-and-hound hunting motif, and wood-beamed ceiling. Also in the basement “was a wine cellar suitable for a restaurant,” remembered Sommers.

The bathhouse next to the pool had dressing rooms whose glass-tiled walls were painted with “mermaids and flora and fauna” by Randolph Coates, an artist who also painted the official portraits of two Indiana governors.

The three-story house was maintained by a staff of seven: a “chief houseman” and his second-in-command, a cook, nursemaid, laundress, head gardener and chauffeur.

Sommers died in 1941, and his wife continued to live in the house until she sold it to Tudor Hall in 1958. It was renamed Stewart Manor in honor of former Headmistress I. Hilda Stewart. The carriage house, also remodeled as a dormitory, was named Allen House for Tudor Hall’s first headmistress, Fredonia Allen.

When Tudor Hall merged with Park School in 1970 and moved to the present-day College Avenue campus, the estate was sold to

Indianapolis Public Schools for $1 million—its original construction cost. For nearly a decade, the Sommers mansion stood vacant.

IPS began a three-year partial restoration in 2000. The IPS Cold Spring Academy, an environmental science magnet school, is located there and the grounds are used for student environmental education. Stewart Manor today is used as a meeting and office space.

“Res” life in Stewart Manor

Nancy Dennis Barefoot ’68, a Tudor Hall boarding student from

Muncie, moved in to Stewart Manor in 1964, when she was 13.

Freshmen and sophomores lived on the third floor—the former servants’ quarters. Boarders were called “res” students.

“I came from a house that was very ‘mid-century modern,’ so this grand house was really very different. But there was a homey atmosphere to it. There was something very grand about going through that front door.

“The living room had a great deal of dark wood with built-in bookcases, and an elaborate fireplace and piano. It had the original Oriental rug left by the Sommers family. To me the most interesting part of the room was the windows. There were some stainedglass panels that had a clear area on them, and when people were guests of the Sommers they would have them etch their names in the glass using a diamond. I always wondered where that diamond was. It was really a kind of contact with the past, and it gave you an idea of what it used to be like.

“I’d go down to where the bathhouse had been and try to figure out what it had once looked like. The pool was filled in. There were little niches in the remaining bathhouse walls that had some tiles set into them, with something very nautical on them—mermaids and such—that you don’t expect to see in the middle of Indiana.

“The headmistress, Alma Whitford, had the dining room made into her living quarters. When you went in there, it wasn’t for a good reason. Whenever I was in that room I was so scared that I didn’t notice much about it!

My number-one memory of the whole place was the leadedglass windows. You could take the point of a compass and etch

your boyfriend’s initials in the soft lead, and of course I did, and when I went back years later to attend a science workshop I looked to see if it was still there, and it was!”
