The president of Washington & Jefferson College is the chief executive officer of the college, which resulted from the 1865 merger of Jefferson College and Washington College.
Several early presidents of Jefferson College had close ties to John McMillan, one of the college's three founders; both his son-in-law John Watson and his nephew William McMillan served as president, and James Dunlap was one of McMillan's early students. James I. Brownson, who was a long-time pastor at the First Presbyterian Church, served two separate terms as president pro tempore, once for Washington College and later for Washington & Jefferson College. During World War II, Ralph Cooper Hutchison simultaneously served as president of the college and as Director of Civilian Defense for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In 2004, Tori Haring-Smith (pictured) became the first woman to serve as president. (Full list...)
