Presidents and Interim Presidents
New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, was founded in 1866 and located in Hanover, NH for the purpose of sharing faculty and facilities with Dartmouth College. Each college, however, was to retain its own separate identity. The NHCAMA was governed by a Board of Trustees that had a president, but there was no elected president of the College until it was removed to Durham in 1893. The New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts became the University of New Hampshire in 1923.
