Description
1850
-
1857
:
Reverend
Daniel
Veech
McLean
was the
first
president
of the
College
appointed
by the
Synod
. He
spent
almost
all
of his
energies
selling
scholarships
hoping
to
build
up
an
endowment
of $
100
,
000
. This he
accomplished
but the
Board
used
the
funds
collected
to
pay
outstanding
bills
rather
than for
investment
,
which
meant
no
income
either
in
tuition
from
scholarship
students
or from
endowment
. He
resigned
in
disgust
, not
even
willing
to
stay
on
until
a
replacement
was
found
.
