Thinking about that next hair cut? Take some inspiration from IU’s presidents. Next time you
walk in to Great Clips, bring this page and ask for a “Cyrus Nutt.” From hipsters to handlebar
mustaches, sporting a bit of facial hair makes men look older, more professional and
sophisticated. (But, we all know a few exceptions to this rule.) Here’s a look at IU’s presidential
hair history.

Buchanan is a senior majoring in journalism and fine art. Every other week, he’ll be using this space to present information visually — like a look at the change in the campus over
four years, or a redesign of Oncourse and OneStart. If you have suggestions or comments, please e-mail them to buchanal@indiana.edu. The inspiration for this column came from
a New York Times column of the same style by Christina Christoforou. Thank you, Christina. And thanks to Brad Cook at IU Archives for his help in gathering reference photos.
