Charles Howard McIlwain

Charles Howard McIlwain (1871–1968) was a highly regarded scholar of Anglo-American constitutional history, and won the 1924 Pulitzer Prize for History.^[1] Unlike the emerging progressive historians, McIlwain credited constitutional forces more than economics as a motive for the American Revolution.

Professor McIlwain served briefly as a preceptor under Woodrow Wilson at Princeton University in New Jersey. He later briefly became the Thomas Brackett Reed Professor of History and Political Science at Bowdoin College in Maine, but spent the rest of his academic career at Harvard University in Massachusetts. Upon his retirement, he gave a series of lectures at Cornell University in New York and was a visiting professor at Oxford University in England.
