First President of Utah Agricultural College

 President Jeremiah W. Sanborn (1890–1894)

Jeremiah Wilson Sanborn was the first president of the Utah Agricultural College. Born in New Hampshire in 1847, he was appointed director of Experiment Station in 1889 and president of the faculty in 1890, and held both of those positions during his presidency at UAC until he was succeeded by President J. H. Paul in 1894. Sanborn thought up the general plan of the experimental and school work that paved the way for the first graduating class of UAC in 1894.

“Every student of the U.A.C. during their first four years remembers Pres. Sanborn with feelings of greatest respect and affection.”
