Historical Note
John Milton Gregory (July 6, 1822-October 19, 1898) was an American educator and the
first president (regent was his official title) of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
then known as Illinois Industrial University. Gregory served as the president of the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, from the university's founding in 1867 until his
resignation in 1880. One of Gregory's most important contributions to the development
of the University of Illinois was his commitment to the education of women. In 1870
Gregory cast the deciding vote to admit women to the University of Illinois, making
Illinois the first university after the Civil War to admit women. (Source: Wikipedia)
