	Thomas Clap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clap campaigned for laws to inhibit itinerant preachers and lay exhorters, and to stop the disintegration of churches by separation.
		Clap instituted Yale's library catalog in 1743, and drafted a new charter of the school, granted by the General Assembly in 1745, incorporating the institution as "The President and Fellows of Yale College in New Haven".
		Clap was sworn in as Yale's first President on June 1, 1745: His formulation of a new code of laws for Yale in Latin became, in 1745, the first book printed in New Haven.

	Thomas Clap
		CLAP, Thomas, educator, born in Scituate, Massachusetts, 26 June, 1703; died in New Haven, Connecticut, 7 January, 1767.
		Clap had been in the ministry at Windham for fourteen years, which was about the half of the time ministers in general continue in their public work, the people ought to have half so much as they gave him for settlement, which, upon computation, was about fifty-three pounds sterling." This sum was paid.
		This course was objected to, and legal measures were taken to suppress the so-called "irregular procedure." Subsequent controversies with Dr. born Gale, of Killingworth, and with Jonathan Edwards, of Northampton, increased the spirit of opposition, and his opponents requested the assembly to appoint a commission of visitation to inquire into the affairs of the College.

		The late Yale historian George Wilson Pierson '26 devoted an entire book to Clap's story, concluding that, while it had elements of truth (some of the ministers did give books before and after the founding), Clap had engineered the tale to score a legal point.
		Embroiled in a dispute with the Connecticut General Assembly over control of the College in 1766, Clap sought to show that the College had been founded privately before it received its charter from the colony.
