(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Lewis Warner Green was a Presbyterian minister, educator, and academic administrator who was the president of Hampden–Sydney College, Transylvania University, and Centre College for various periods from 1849 to 1863. Born in Danville, Kentucky, baptized in Versailles, and educated in Woodford County, Green enrolled at Transylvania University but transferred to Centre College to complete his education. He graduated in 1824 and in doing so became one of two members of the school's first graduating class. After short periods studying medicine and law, he enrolled at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1831 but returned to Kentucky in 1832 before graduating. The occasion of his return was his election as professor of political economy and ; he taught for two years, and became licensed as a preacher during that span, before taking a two-year leave of absence to travel to Europe. Some time after returning, he was elected by the Synod of Kentucky to be professor of oriental and biblical literature at Hanover College, though he stayed there for only one academic year before returning to Centre in 1839 to resume his prior teaching positions and take the office of vice president.
