Extract

Identification of American college professors prior to 1800 is a difficult task. Those below were listed as professors at the nineteen American colleges that granted degrees before 1800. Faculty registers, school catalogs and school histories were used in compiling a tentative list. When biographical study indicated that a man was probably a tutor rather than a professor, his name was removed. Some names, for which no data exist, remain, which probably should have been removed.

Note

1. In addition to the 142 professors listed, there were several men listed as professors for whom no biographical data were found. Probably many of them were not professors, but tutors. The men for whom no data have been found are listed below. I have marked those I strongly suspect with an asterisk (*).Google Scholar
