Hardie Scott
American politician
Hardie Scott (June 7, 1907 – November 2, 1999) was a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.
Hardie Scott, son of John Roger Kirkpatrick Scott, was born in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. He graduated from the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut, in 1926, from Yale University in 1930, and from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1934. While at Yale, he was captain of the 1930 Yale Polo Team. That year, the team went on to win the intercollegiate polo championship.
