- catalog description "Charles Morton, an educator and Harvard's first vice-president, was born in 1627 in Cornwall, England. He received his first degree in 1649 from Oxford University and received an MA in 1652. He established the Newington Green Academy near London and began compiling “systems” used as manuals for student study. He immigrated to Massachusetts in 1686 believing he would be appointed President of Harvard College. Though Morton was not appointed President, he taught as a fellow and the College began using his manuscript textbooks as part of the undergraduate course of study; Morton's Compendium Physicae was the College's official physics textbook into the 18th century. He was appointed a member of the Harvard Corporation and its first vice-president. Morton died in 1698.".
