History
George W. Flint was born 2 March 1844 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. He graduated from Bates College in 1871 and had been connected with educational institutions in New Hampshire and Maine before coming to Connecticut. Prior to becoming president of the Storrs Agricultural College, Flint was associated with the Collinsville, CT, schools.
Flint's tenure marks one of the most controversial in the history of the institution. Difficulties with the faculty, the Grange and agricultural societies and public opinion all combined to force Flint's resignation in 1901.
[A detailed description of the period can be found in The Connecticut Agricultural College beginning on page 98, Dodd Call no. S537.C88 S8 1931.]
