Gustavus Richard Glenn (December 5, 1848 - January 23, 1939) was the sixth President of the University of North Georgia.[1]
Gustavus R. Glenn was born in Jefferson County, Georgia, on December 5, 1848, to James Russell and Anne Williams Glenn. His maternal grandmother was a first cousin to President Zachary Taylor.[2]
The first professional position held by Glenn on a collegiate level was as president of Columbus Female College, which he began in 1875. He remained in this position until a fire destroyed much of the college's campus in 1884. In the same year, Glenn became a professor of physics at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia. He served at Wesleyan College until 1893, at which point he became the State School Commissioner.[2]
In the summer of 1904, Glen was elected president of North Georgia Agricultural College.[2]
