In Hoar, this new knowledge was important in the change of his own focus from revelation to empiricism.
Hoar was abreast of the new empiricism pioneered by John Locke.
While Hoars own work was short-circuited in an untimely way, his work is a precedent for the thought and attitude required today, particularly in light of an ecological predicament that draws attention to the division between facts and values as no other single issue does.

The students tell tourists that most of the buildings are named after college presidents, then segue into one of their favorite lines.
Leonard Hoar, the third president of the college, has never been honored with a building in his name, Jones explained.
The statue itself is known as ``The Statue of Three Lies," Jones joked, because first, it lists John Harvard as the school's founder (he was the first major benefactor; the founder was the Massachusetts Bay Colony); second, it says Harvard was founded in 1638 (it is 1636).

Real history has the glow of romance when one pauses to consider that one of the signers with Abraham Garfield was John Hoar, who became the great-grandfather of Senator George F. Hoar, presiding officer of the convention which nominated James Abram Garfield for the Presidency.
The emigrant wagon, with its jaded horses, its muddy white cover, its much confused load of household articles, and its sad-eyed and forlorn but determined occupants, must be recognized in the combination of circumstances that resulted in reproducing a Massachusetts patriot in the daughter State of Ohio.
Said Senator George F. Hoar: "To Lincoln belongs a large share in the fame of the great soldier who cleared Kentucky of rebellion, and was the right arm of Thomas at Chickamauga.

The pomposity of Leonard Hoar (1672-75) prompted students “to Travestie whatever he did and said, and aggravate every thing in his Behaviour disagreable to them, with a Design to make him Odious.” (So wrote the none-too-agreeable Cotton Mather, then a student.) Tutors resigned, and students deserted in a body.
Hoar gave up the presidency and died, it is said, of a broken heart.
Samuel Langdon (1774-80), whose chief qualification for the presidency had been his exemplary patriotism, was driven from office by protesting students.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Controversy Echoed at Baylor
Samuel Eliot Morison’s Three Centuries of Harvard, published in 1936, sheds light on the two instances—both centuries ago—in Harvard’s history where a president did cave to pressure from his constituents and resign.
Unlike the recent controversies at Baylor and Harvard, however, the opposition to University Presidents Leonard Hoar and Samuel Langdon was led by the students, not by faculty.
The College student body’s full-scale desertion of the campus in 1675, partly in response to Hoar’s allowance of cruel beatings of disobedient students, left Hoar no choice but to resign.

But in the April 17, 2003, USA Today, Bob Minzesheimer quotes Hoar as saying that that book "exercised my love of language." The Hit, he wants us to know, was written as "window-pane prose.
But feel free to disregard Hoar's mission statement: "Invisible to the reader" the author may be in these pages; his nailing of lines and images, his skill at fast-forward narrative are anything but.
