Featured article Lewis W. Green (January 28, 1806 – May 26, 1863) was an American Presbyterian minister, educator, and academic administrator. Born in Danville, Kentucky, and educated in Woodford County, he enrolled at Transylvania University but transferred to Centre College to complete his degree. He graduated in 1824 as one of two members of Centre's first graduating class. Green enrolled at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1831 but returned to Kentucky the following year. He spent time as a professor and minister before returning to Centre in 1839 as its vice president. In January 1849, he was elected the president of Hampden–Sydney College, where he spent eight years. He left to become president of Transylvania in November 1856 shortly following the establishment of a normal school there by the Kentucky General Assembly. Green resigned a year later, following the repeal of the bill that created the normal school, and became the president of Centre. He led his alma mater through parts of the Civil War and died in office in May 1863. (Full article...)
