This document was scanned from an original copy of the American Education Society’s Quarterly Register, which served as a digest of the diverse facets in American Education and its outflowing effects worldwide. The society was comprised of leading Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and Princeton Alumni, and served to promote the work both in the U.S. and abroad for educating the people in the Reformation’s worldview of the Bible serving as the only infallible rule of life, which, of course, was the purpose for which these schools were founded.

 

The following extracts list only the college Presidents. The originals contain an alphabetical name catalog of graduates from the founding of Harvard, to ca. 1834. All the presidents were ministers of the Gospel first, and were all schooled in the Reformation's theological worldview. Willison Ed.
