Paul Dwight Moody
Encyclopedia
Paul Dwight Moody son of famed evangelical minister Dwight L. Moody
, served as pastor at South Congregational Church in St. Johnsbury, VT from 1912 to 1917 and as the 10th president of Middlebury College
from 1921 until 1943. During his tenure, two of Middlebury's most important institutions, the Bread Loaf School of English
and the Middlebury College Language Schools
saw growth in both quality and reputation. One of Moody's chief goals was the creation of a wholly separate women's college at Middlebury, as opposed to the semi-integrated system that had prevailed since women were first accepted in 1883. However, the Great Depression and World War II
ultimately stymied his efforts at segregation.
