Barr served in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II. He was teaching English at Columbia in 1955. He initiated the Columbia University Science Honors Program in 1958 and was its director until 1964. He was headmaster of the Dalton School from 1964 to 1974, when he resigned, citing conflicts with the board of trustees.

During his time at Dalton, Barr is alleged to have hired Jeffrey Epstein as a math teacher despite Epstein having dropped out of college and only being 20 years old at the time. However, other sources dispute the claim that Barr hired Epstein as Barr had resigned his position at the school some eight months before Epstein began teaching there. According to the school newspaper, Epstein came aboard in September of 1974 for the new school year.

Like much of the rest of the country, the Dalton School in the 1970s was in the midst of a culture war.

The school, which had been a progressive haven for the children of artists and writers, was undergoing a shift under a new headmaster. Donald Barr, the father of Attorney General William Barr, came in as a disciplinarian focused on beefing up the academics of the school, and on enforcing a strict code of conduct.

In a school known for creativity, administrators had prohibited denim jeans and “bizarre and eccentric costumes.” If Mr. Barr caught students using marijuana, he would often send them to therapy as a condition of staying in the school. He himself described his leadership style as “by ukase,” using the Imperial Russian term for an edict from the czar.

In February 1974, Mr. Barr had announced that he was resigning as headmaster, protesting the meddling by the board of trustees, but that he would stay on until the end of the school year. It is unclear whether Mr. Barr hired Mr. Epstein during that time.

Resign: Feb. 1974

Hiring of Epstein: Sep. 1974
