John Milton Gregory

John Milton Gregory

John Milton Gregory (July 6, 1822 - October 19, 1898) was the first president of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, serving from the university's founding in 1867 until his resignation in 1880. He is considered the central figure in the university's establishment, being the man who most centrally advocated the presence of a classically-based liberal arts curriculum in addition to the industrial and agricultural curriculum desired by many state residents and lawmakers of the time.

He is buried on the Main Quadrangle on the UIUC campus.
