President
A Northwestern University graduate with a Master’s in Education from Stanford, Robert Hayden became the seventh president of Anatolia College in 1964. He was the first Anatolia College president to have experience in American secondary education. Known for his exceptional educational and administrative skills, Hayden excelled at fundraising and building relationships. He assembled an effective administrative team in Greece and, with Chairman of the Board of Trustees, John Chapman, launched a successful fundraising campaign in the United States. Hayden envisioned a bold path for Anatolia College – an “experimental school” with an innovative curriculum. Unfortunately, this vision proved difficult to reconcile with the requirements of the national education program. Hayden’s presidency ended in February 1972.
