Early Years
Bartlett was born in Balaghat, India and moved to England at the age of nine. He captained Dulwich College for three seasons. In 1933 - his last season for the school - he hit two double hundreds in successive weeks and set a Dulwich record of 228 against Mill Hill ( the record stood until 2006, when Arthur Mitchell hit 230* at a lower age group ). He won blues at Cambridge for three years and in 1936 captained them in the Varsity match. After a few matches with Surrey, he settled down as an amateur at Sussex.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“The science, the art, the jurisprudence, the chief political and social theories, of the modern world have grown out of Greece and Rome—not by favor of, but in the teeth of, the fundamental teachings of early Christianity, to which science, art, and any serious occupation with the things of this world were alike despicable.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“A young man is not a proper hearer of lectures on political science; for he is inexperienced in the actions that occur in life, but its discussions start from these and are about these; and, further, since he tends to follow his passions, his study will be vain and unprofitable, because the end that is aimed at is not knowledge but action. And it makes no difference whether he is young in years or youthful in character.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
