Paul Gregory Nauert recently enrolled at Harvard College.

Nauert, a 2005 graduate of Lindbergh High School, is the son of Paul J. Nauert and Suzanne M. Nauert of Crestwood.

Nauert joins about 1,650 students in Har-vard’s freshman class. The class was chosen from nearly 23,000 applicants, a rec-ord in Harvard history.

“Members of the class of 2009 were selected for a broad array of academic and extracurricular accomplishments. Most of all, they combine their talents with extraordinary personal strength, and like their predecessors they will benefit enormously by learning from one another in our residential freshman and house system during their college years,” William R. Fitzsim-mons, Harvard dean of admissions and fi-nancial aid, stated in a news release.

Harvard, the oldest institution of higher education in the United States, was founded in 1636 and attracts students from throughout the United States and around the world.
