Paul R. Andrews

Paul Revere Andrews (1906–1983) was a Canadian‑born American publishing executive who served as a president and chairman of Prentice-Hall.

Early life and education Paul R. Andrews was born in 1906 in Canada. He entered Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont, where he double‑majored in English and economics and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering in 1930.

Career After a brief period in the U.S. Cavalry Reserve, Andrews joined Prentice-Hall in 1935 as a travelling representative for the college‑textbook division. He was also recognised by the university's Partridge Society as a One‑Diamond benefactor for his philanthropic leadership.

In 1975, Andrews endowed the Paul Revere Andrews '30 Scholarship, followed five years later by the Virginia Prentice Ettinger Andrews Scholarship created by his son in honour of Andrews's wife.

In May of 1982, Norwich University dedicated Andrews Hall, an athletics building, in his honor.
