James Andrew McCauley
James Andrew McCauley (1822-1896) was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church and served as President of Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania from 1872 to 1888.
==Early life==
James Andrew McCauley was born on October 7, 1822, in Cecil County, Maryland, to Daniel and Elizabeth McCauley. His early education was lacking, but he acquired the English rudiments and had a great fondness for books. His family removed to Baltimore, and at the age of 17, he worked in a mercantile house. After two years, he took a preparatory course at the classical academy of the scholar Rev. John H. Dashiell in Baltimore, Maryland, before entering Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, as a freshman in September 1844. He was elected to the Union Philosophical Society and he graduated from Dickinson College with highest honors in 1847. For the next two years he was a private tutor for one of the oldest families in Maryland. During college, McCauley decided the Christian ministry was his destiny vocation, and in 1850 he was admitted to the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church at the session of the Baltimore Conference. At the session, that body decided to establish a secondary school of high grade for women, and McCauley was assigned the responsibility of inaugurating and conducting the enterprise. Shortly following this, he married Rachel Moore Lightner on July 8, 1851, with whom he had a daughter, Fanny.
The secondary school for women was a notable success, but at the end of four years McCauley relinquished the trust on account of impaired health. After brief rest he entered the pastorate, and for eighteen years had some of the most important charges in the city of Baltimore and Washington. In 1867, McCauley was awarded a Doctor of Divinity degree (D.D.) from his alma mater Dickinson College, where he served as a Trustee from 1869 to 1872. McCauley was residing in Washington and presiding elder of the district, when called to the presidency of Dickinson College in 1872.〔James Terry White, "The National Cyclopedia of American Biography", Volume VI, (1896), 430-431.〕
