Benjamin Wadsworth

Benjamin Wadsworth (February 28, 1670 – March 16, 1737) was a colonial American clergyman and educator. He was trained at Harvard College (B.A., 1690; M.A., 1693). He served as minister of the First Church in Boston; and as president of Harvard from 1725 until his death.
==Wadsworth House==

Built in 1726 for the president of Harvard, Benjamin Wadsworth, and his wife, Wadsworth House has had a long and illustrious history. It is the second oldest building at Harvard (the first being Massachusetts Hall), built on the site where Harvard’s earliest building, the Peyntree House, had previously stood.〔"The Benjamin Wadsworth House (1726)" by Daniel Sterner at http://mass.historicbuildingsct.com/?p=32〕 General George Washington, with the assistance of Henry Lee (then an officer in the Patriot Forces, and later father to General Robert E. Lee), set up his first headquarters in the house.〔http://marshal.harvard.edu/wadsworth-house〕 It was used as Washington's headquarters from July 2 to July 16, 1775, before transferring to the larger John Vassall House (now the Longfellow House) on Brattle Street.
In Wadsworth House nine Harvard presidents lived from 1726 to 1849.〔Harvard University. Education, bricks and mortar: Harvard buildings and their contribution to the advancement of learning. Cambridge, Massachusetts : The University, c1949.〕 In 1849, when Jared Sparks decided to stay in his nearby home, Harvard presidents ceased to live in Wadsworth House. After that time, Wadsworth House took in student boarders (including Ralph Waldo Emerson '21) and visiting preachers, among others. The Wadsworth House lost its front yard when Massachusetts Avenue was widened.
Today, the building houses the Office of the University Marshal, the Commencement Office, Prof. Robert Darnton the University Librarian, the Harvard Office for Scholarly Communication (headed by Peter Suber), and several professors.〔(Wadsworth House History )〕
