Timothy Cutler (1719-1722), third president of Yale, was forced to resign after so short a tenure of office because he became an Episcopalian.

Ezra Stiles (1778-1795), Yale ' s seventh president, held office during the Revolu- tionary War, when Nathan Hale died for his country. Timothy Dwight (1795-1817) was de- scribed by a jealous contemporary as both the religious and political Pope of Connecticut . . .

Theodore Dwight Woolsey (1846- 1871), tenth president of Yale, saw the beginnings of the modem Yale campus with the erection of Farnara Hall. Noah Porter (1871-1886) witnessed the completion of Yale ' s first modern laboratory, continued growth of the library, an expanded athletic program. Timothy Dwight (1886-1899) was a grandson of the first President Dwight. He made the historic decision to tear down the Old Fence. Arthur Twining Hadley (1899-1921) cemented alumni relationships. He was respected for his progressive views con- cerning student and faculty freedom. James Rowland Angell (1921-1937) was the first non-graduate of Yale since the middle of the eighteenth century to become its president. Charles Seymour (1937-1950), Yale ' s fifteenth president, retired after guiding the University through the storm of World War II. Of Samuel Andrew (1707-1719), Yale ' s second president, and Thomas Clap (1740-1766), fifth president of Yale, there are no pictures or reproductions of any son remaining.
