Being There

He joined the Harvard faculty in 1908, remaining until his retirement in 1940. His later-famous pupils included Leonard Bernstein, Roger Sessions, Elliott Carter, Walter Piston, Ross Lee Finney, and Virgil Thomson. – Wikipedia 

Though Hill as composer was minor,

By a quirk of the Cosmic Designer,

He taught, in his prime,

At the right place and time,

And his legacy couldn’t be finer.
