Among MacLeish's predecessors have been John Quincy Adams, later sixth President of the United States; Edward Tyrell Channing, founder of the North American Review; Francis James Child, who introduced the study of English literature in America; LeBaron Russell Briggs, a great Dean of the College; and Charles Townsend Copeland, the renowned "Copey...
