Planned Giving
John Metcalf Taylor shaped the destiny of The Loomis Institute during its critical formative years. A Trustee in 1901 and chairman of the board from 1904 until his death in 1918, he oversaw the key decisions that created the school: the hiring of Nathaniel Horton Batchelder as the institute’s first headmaster; the architectural designs for the first buildings that were to form the main quadrangle, including the dormitory that is named for him; and the development of the school’s curriculum.
Today, Loomis Chaffee students have developed a tradition of rubbing John Metcalf Taylor’s nose on the bas relief sculpture by Evelyn Longman Batchelder that hangs outside Taylor Hall. They say it brings good luck.
The John Metcalf Taylor Society honors alumni, parents and friends who have remembered Loomis Chaffee in their estate plans through charitable bequests, trusts or other provisions. The society was created in 1993 and was originally a group of individuals who informed the school of their thoughtful gift intentions and to whom the school privately extended warm appreciation. The society now numbers 641 members whose names we publish to thank them publicly and to encourage others to consider Loomis Chaffee as they visit their estate plans.
