Past Presidents
 

Nicholas B. Worthington, a magazine editor and professor, was acting president from 1864 to 1867. He opened the College as a preperatory school for literate boys over 12. The College continued as a prep school until June 1866 and did not open at all in 1867. Worthington also sold 205 acres of the original 428-acre campus to meet oustanding bills.
