Encyclopedia > Leonard Hoar

Leonard Hoar (ca. 1630 - 1675) was an early American clergyman and educator. He was educated at Harvard College and later studied medicine at Cambridge University. He occupied various ecclesiastical positions in England and produced works on biblical scholarship. In 1672 he was appointed president of Harvard. He occupied that position until his death in 1675.


An oft-repeated joke at Harvard is that, unlike other presidents of the institution, Hoar will never have a House (as the college administrative and residential units are called) named after him.
