• catalog description "By August 12, 1808, Adams had completed thirty-six lectures. Adams repeated the first twenty-four of his lectures in the new academic year, but after being appointed minister to Russia in July 1809 by President James Madison, Adams resigned his professorship. On July 15, 1809, a committee of students composed of Samuel Bird (A.B. 1809), Francis Calley Gray (A.B. 1809), Joseph Going Kendall (A.B. 1810), and Stephen Fales (A.B. 1810), presented Adams with a letter expressing their regret that he was leaving the College and requested that he publish his Boylston lectures. Consenting to this request, Adams sent his lectures to a publisher before he left for Europe. They were published in 1810 as "Lectures on Rhetoric and Oratory, delivered to the classes of senior and junior sophisters in Harvard University."".
• catalog description "In June 1805, John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) was elected the first Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, with the stipulation that he would be given the time to continue his public duties as United States Senator from Massachusetts. Adams's teaching responsibilities were limited to a course of public lectures given to the resident graduates and two senior classes of undergraduates. He also presided at the declamations of the senior classes. Adams's public lectures were given weekly, except when he was away serving in the United States Senate. Adams's lectures were based on examinations of classical writers such as Aristotle, Cicero, Quinctilian, Longinus, and Dionysius. His lectures provided a historical and critical review of ancient orators, surveyed the intellectual and moral qualities of a good orator, promoted eloquence in speech, and discussed the technical elements of rhetoric and oratory, including the proper arrangement of an argument and discussion, correct delivery and pronunciation, appropriate tones and gestures, and the suitable style for oral delivery.".
• catalog description "The Boylston Professorship of Rhetoric and Oratory was established in 1804 to "instruct the students of the several classes in the nature, excellence, and acquisition of the important art of Rhetoric in its most extended and comprehensive sense; or in the theory and practice of writing and speaking well; that is, with method, elegance, harmony, dignity, and energy." This language comes from the 1771 will of Nicholas Boylston. The professorship was the first endowed chair devoted to the art of speaking and writing in British North America. A delay in establishing the chair was due to the insufficiency of the initial Boylston endowment and the monetary inflation of the American Revolutionary War which eroded the College's finances.".
