Early life and education Updike’s mother’s attempts to become a published writer impressed the young Updike. “One of my earliest memories”, he later recalled, “is of seeing her at her desk... I admired the writer’s equipment, the typewriter eraser, the boxes of clean paper. And I remember the brown envelopes that stories would go off in—and come back in.” Updike graduated from Shillington High School as co-valedictorian and class president in 1950 and attended Harvard with a full scholarship. He graduated summa cum laude in 1954 with a degree in English. Upon graduation, Updike attended The Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art at the University of Oxford with the ambition of becoming a cartoonist.
