Ralph Westwood Moore (1906 – 10 January 1953) was an English classicist and writer who became the headmaster of Harrow School in 1942.
[4] He attended Wolverhampton Grammar School and then, as a scholar, Christ Church, Oxford where he achieved academic distinction.
Ralph Moore married Elsie Barbara Tonks (1901–1969) at Wolverhampton in the early summer of 1931.
[2] Early in 1952, keen to set a good example to the children in his care, he submitted himself to a chest x-ray.
Chest x-rays for adolescents were encouraged at that time in order to provide for early diagnosis of tuberculosis.
