Biographical History
Edward Everett was an American statesman, clergyman, and orator, as well as professor of Greek at Harvard University and president of Harvard University, 1846-1849.
Everett was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, and graduated from Harvard with highest honors in 1811, completing an M.A. in Divinity in 1814. After a brief stint as a minister, Harvard offered him the newly created position of Professor of Greek; brilliant but untrained, Everett went to Göttingen to prepare for the role, becoming the first American to earn a Ph.D. He served as professor and editor of the North American Review, inspiring such students as Ralph Waldo Emerson, before turning to politics. He served in the United States House of Representatives, helped form the Whig Party, and served four one-year terms as Governor of Massachusetts, losing a fifth term by one vote. He served as Minister to Britain before returning briefly to Harvard as President; he left this post to finish Daniel Webster's term as Secretary of State, and later served in the United States Senate. Versatile, energetic, and brilliant, he was known as the premier orator of his generation.
