Naphtali Daggett (September 8, 1727 – November 25, 1780) was an American academic and educator. He graduated from Yale University in 1748.〔Kelley, Brooks Mather. (1999). (''Yale: A History,'' p. 62. )〕 Three years later, he became pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Smithtown, Long Island. In 1755, the Yale Corporation persuaded him to return to New Haven to assist President Thomas Clapp in the pulpit, and to be considered for appointment as a college professor. On March 4, 1756, the Corporation inducted him as Yale's first professor—officially the Livingstonian Professor of Divinity.〔 Daggett became the college's president ''pro tempore'' in 1766 after the resignation of President Clap.〔Kelley, ( p. 73. )〕 Daggett held the office of President for the next eleven years, until 1777.〔Steiner, Herbert Christian. (1893). ( ''History of Education in Connecticut,'' p. 115. )〕 When the British attacked New Haven, Connecticut in 1779, Rev. Daggett took up arms in defense but was taken prisoner, and was forced to serve as a guide. He was bayoneted by his captors. Rev. Daggett died in 1780.〔Welch, Lewis ''et al.'' (1899). ( ''Yale, Her Campus, Class-rooms, and Athletics,'' p. 410. )〕 ==Notes==
