Described as "one of the greatest presidents the institution has ever had," the Reverend Dr. James McCosh became the eleventh president of the College of New Jersey, later named Princeton University. Prior to immigrating to America in 1868, McCosh was a professor of logic and moral philosophy at Queens College, Belfast. He was also a leading Free Church of Scotland minister; David Hill and Robert Adamson photographed him in this role for Hill's painting, The Disruption Picture.
