Centre College Faculty Recommendation For Degrees (July 6, 1824)

 

[Note: Lewis Warner Green would serve as president of his alma mater from 1857 until 1863. Little is known about John Pope Trotter, except that he appears to have been at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1825. James Buchanan was not a student, but taught mathematics at Centre from 1823 to 1833. In 1824 he was probably serving as an instructor, but without a college degree. The school awarded him a B.A. for his scholarship and deportment.]

The Faculty also recommend Mr. James Buchanan for the same degree, as a good scholar, an amiable young man, & of unblemished moral
