John Milton Gregory

This author's most significant contribution is found in his work, The Seven Laws of Teaching, which delves deeply into pedagogical principles. During his tenure leading a university, he championed a balanced approach to education, advocating for both classical arts alongside industrial and agricultural studies. He was also a strong proponent for women's equal access to education, casting a deciding vote to admit women to the university, a pioneering move for its time. His commitment to educational innovation further extended to establishing the first-ever degree program in domestic science at the higher education level.
