Sherman Hoar (July 30, 1860 – October 7, 1898), was

an American lawyer, member of Congress representing Massachusetts,

and U.S. District Attorney for Massachusetts.

As a young man he acted as model for the head of the John Harvard statue now in the Harvard

Yard. Hoar graduated from Harvard

College in 1882 and Harvard Law School in 1884. While at Harvard he

sat as the model for the head of the John Harvard statue which now sits in Harvard Yard.

In 1885 he was admitted to the bar of Middlesex

County and commenced practicing law in Concord, Massachusetts. Though from a

prominent Republican family Hoar was a Mugwump,

leading the Young Men's Democratic Club of Massachusetts during Grover

Cleveland's 1884 campaign, and was a member of the House of Representatives

in the Fifty-second U.S. Congress (1891–1893). He

was U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts, 1893-1897. Hoar was director of the Massachusetts

Volunteer Aid Association during the Spanish-American

war, and served[in several US Army hospitals in the

South. He was also a great believer in public

education. He once said: "Our public school system is

what makes this Nation superior to all other Nations—not the Army

or the Navy

system. Military

display . . . does not belong here." After an illness of

three weeks, Sherman Hoar died at his home on Main street, Concord, of typhoid

fever contracted while making a tour of the Southern camps as a General of the

Massachusetts Volunteer Association. Sherman Hoar came from a line of

distinguished Massachusetts and New England politicians, lawyers and esteemed

public servants. He was

both the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence;

·
