| | Josiah Quincy |
 | | Josiah Quincy (February 4, 1772-July 1, 1864) was a Congressman, judge of the Massachusetts municipal court, state representative, mayor of Boston and president of Harvard College. |
 | | Educated as a boarder from the age of six at Phillips Academy, Andover, under the tutelage of an uncle, the Rev. Samuel Phillips, Josiah followed in the footsteps of many members of the Quincy and Phillips families when he graduated from Harvard College with the class of 1790. |
 | | Scholars have often pictured Quincy as a paternalist, and antidemocratic, social reformer whose reform programme was motivated by a desire to manage the destabilising effects of urban growth. |
