PRESIDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY
In 1745 the title was changed from
Rector to President.
Some of the entries are links to pages containing short biographies taken from Reuben A. Holden's Profiles and Portraits of Yale University Presidents. Holden wrote profiles of each president up to and including Kingman Brewster. Eventually, all of these profiles and possibly more will be included in this resource.
