Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: "I subscribe this account because it is within my means and because I want to set an example to
people not to despise 'the day of small things.'" (John Hamilton, in a letter to Hurst about his $1 donation -- the first toward the purchase of the property that was to become The American University campus.) Brother Franklin Elmer Elsworth Hamilton (1866-1918) and John William Hamilton (1854-1934) were Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church and Chancellors of The American University (Franklin from 1907 to 1916 and John from 1916 to 1922). Under the leadership of Bishops Hamilton the university secured its financial status, endowment fund, and academic plans. During Franklin Hamilton's administration, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson officially opened the university on May 27, 1914, and plans for fellowships were established to encourage study in diverse fields. |
