Rev. Dr Andrew Harper (13 November 1844 – 25 November 1936) was a Scottish–Australian biblical scholar, teacher, and school Principal.
Harper was born at Glasgow, Scotland, son of Robert Harper, a merchant, and his wife Elizabeth, née Calderwood. After some preliminary education at The Glasgow Academy, he came to Australia and enrolled at the Scotch College, Melbourne.
Harper joined the civil service, and in 1864 passed the matriculation examination of the University of Melbourne and graduated B.A. in 1868. Harper then studied at the University of Edinburgh where he graduated B.D. in 1872 and gained the Cunningham fellowship.
On Harper's return to Australia from Edinburgh, he was assistant at Chalmers' Church, East Melbourne from September 1873-1875. He did not pursue the ministry at this point as his doctrinal views were liberal evangelical and were not openly accepted at that time. He was appointed English master at the Presbyterian Ladies' College, Melbourne, in 1875, becoming headmaster in 1877, and in 1879, Principal. Harper resigned at the end of 1888, leaving the school with a high reputation among the secondary schools of Victoria.

Genres: Fantasy, Short,you set bar too high
your expectations have become my failure
a shell you see so shallow but deep inside
my heart beats just the same as yours
the same blood through these clean veins
can't you see that i'm in pain
it seems my life is always under par
what can i say to change your mind about what i am
others can see what was hidden from your sight
a kid with courage and heart and his eyes open wide
an inner beauty and a bright light
my focus is not yours
i set my sights on new horizons and let my soul have scope
can't you see that i have my own dreams
and though they're not the same as yours
they hold value to me, tell me why can't you see
i'm not the means to mend your past regrets
what can i say to change your mind about what i am
others can see what was hidden from your sight
a kid with courage and heart and his eyes open wide
inner beauty and a bright light
judged for how i look, not for the good that i have done
i try the best i can, but it seems that i'm not the perfect son
shaped by God, and my volition
and the seeds that you have sown
but i ask you once again
