- Paul Dwight Moody
Paul Dwight Moody (1879 - 1947), son of famed evangelical minister
Dwight L. Moody , served as pastor at South Congregational Church inSt. Johnsbury, VT from 1912 to 1917 and as the 10th president ofMiddlebury College from 1921 until 1943. During his tenure, two of Middlebury's most important institutions, theBread Loaf School of English and theMiddlebury College Language Schools saw growth in both quality and reputation. One of Moody's chief goals was the creation of a wholly separate women's college at Middlebury, as opposed to the semi-integrated system that had prevailed since women were first accepted in 1883. However,the Great Depression andWorld War II ultimately stymied his efforts at segregation.External links
