College presidents
Description1883-1890: When President Cattell resigned the college was split into two groups representing the traditional classics education and the new science and engineering education, exponents of each learning painfully how to work with the other. The Rev. James Knox, a college Trustee and a safe representative of the traditional, was hastily elected to block the possible election of a representative of the science faction. The issues signified by the controversy were not resolved under his leadership. During his administration an Alumni Advisory Committee for athletics was formed and alumni representatives were for the first time appointed to the Board of Trustees. Rev. Knox resigned because of the fiscal failures of his administration.
