William Hayter (diplomat)
Sir William Goodenough Hayter KCMG (1 August 1906 – 28 March 1995) was a British diplomat, Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1957, later Warden of New College, Oxford, and author.
==Early life==
Born at Oxford, Hayter was the son of Sir William Goodenough Hayter (1869–1924), a judge in Egypt and an adviser to the Egyptian government, and his wife, Alethea Slessor, daughter of a Hampshire clergyman, the Rev. John Henry Slessor, rector of Headbourne Worthy.〔Ure, John, 'Hayter, Sir William Goodenough (1906–1995)', in ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004 (online version ) accessed 23 July 2008 (subscription required)〕 His sisters Priscilla Napier (1908–1998) and Alethea Hayter (1911–2006) both went on to become writers.〔Russell, Michael ''(Obituary: Priscilla Napier )'' in ''The Independent'' (London) dated 17 October 1998, online at FindArticles.com, accessed 20 July 2008〕〔Harvey-Wood, Harriet, ''(Alethea Hayter )'', obituary in ''The Guardian'' dated 13 January 2006〕 Through his mother, he was a cousin of Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir John Slessor.〔
Hayter was educated (like his father) at Winchester College and New College, Oxford, where he was the college's senior classical scholar. At Winchester, he became 'prefect of hall' (or head boy) and his contemporaries included John Sparrow, Richard Crossman, William Empson and Richard Wilberforce. He was at New College with Hugh Gaitskell, Douglas Jay and Herbert Hart, but achieved only a Second in Mods and another in Greats. However, he was awarded a Laming Travelling Fellowship at Queen's College, Oxford, which meant spending nine months learning modern languages overseas. French and German were then both compulsory languages for entrants to the Diplomatic Service, so he spent the nine months in Paris and Vienna. He was then briefly in residence at Queen's before sitting the Foreign Office entrance examination in 1930. He came third, behind Frank Roberts (later British Ambassador in Moscow) but ahead of Duncan Sandys.〔〔Ireland, George, ''(OBITUARIES Sir William Hayter ) in ''The Independent'' (London), dated 30 March 1995, accessed 18 April 2011〕
