Harcourt Morgan
John Harcourt Alexander Morgan (August 31, 1867 – August 25, 1950) was a Canadian-American entomologist, educator, and agricultural expert, who served as president of the University of Tennessee from 1919 until 1934. In 1933, he was appointed to the inaugural board of the Tennessee Valley Authority, with which he remained until 1948, including three years (1938–1941) as chairman. In both capacities, he promoted a philosophy known as "the common mooring," which stressed a harmonious relationship between man and the environment, and consistently worked to introduce more efficient and less destructive farming techniques in the Tennessee Valley.〔Milton Klein, "(John Harcourt Alexander Morgan )," ''Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture'', 2009.

==Early life==
Morgan was born in 1887 and raised by his parents Rebecca (née Truman) and John Morgan
on a farm near Kerwood in Adelaide Township, Ontario.〔 He attended the University of Toronto's Ontario Agricultural College, earning his Bachelor of Science in 1889. He briefly attended Cornell University and conducted research at the Marine Biological Laboratory before accepting a position as professor of entomology at Louisiana State University.〔Milton Klein, "('The State is the University's Campus:' Harcourt A. Morgan, Thirteenth President of UT )." University of Tennessee website. Retrieved: 1 May 2012.〕
At LSU, Morgan studied two parasitical insects, the cattle tick and the cotton boll weevil, both of which had proven destructive to farmers in the state. Camping out in pastures and cotton fields, Morgan collected invaluable data on the habits of both insects that finally enabled scientists to get their populations under control.〔 But the boll weevil infested cotton crops throughout the South in the early 20th century, causing much destruction and costing countless agricultural jobs.〔Jack Neely, "(The Common Mooring )," Tennessee Valley Authority website. Retrieved: 1 May 2012.〕 Morgan's role in fighting the cattle tick and boll weevil infestations endeared him to many of the state's farmers and gained the respect of regional agricultural experts.
