Millais School - The Connection To The Millais Family

The Connection To The Millais Family

The school is named after John Everett Millais and his initials J E M as used in his monogram are incorporated into the logo. Although John Millais has no Horsham connection, his son, the wildlife artist, gardener and travel writer John Guille Millais, lived the final thirty years of his life in a house called Compton's Brow less than a mile from the school.

Famous quotes containing the words connection and/or family:

    We should always remember that the work of art is invariably the creation of a new world, so that the first thing we should do is to study that new world as closely as possible, approaching it as something brand new, having no obvious connection with the worlds we already know. When this new world has been closely studied, then and only then let us examine its links with other worlds, other branches of knowledge.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Children’s lives are not shaped solely by their families or immediate surroundings at large. That is why we must avoid the false dichotomy that says only government or only family is responsible. . . . Personal values and national policies must both play a role.
    Hillary Rodham Clinton (20th century)
