Mark Hopkins was one of a group of clerical college presidents and teachers in whom the old interest in systems was transferred from theology to anthropology. The group includes men like Francis Wayland (1796-1865), President of Brown University (1827-55); Archibald Alexander (1772-1851), professor at Princeton; James McCosh (1811-94), President of Princeton (1868-88); and Noah Porter (1811-94), President of Yale (1871-86).

A. F. Mahn of Berlin (who revised the etymologies), W. D. Whitney, James Dwight Dana, Daniel Coit Gilman, and James Hadley. Thiernational—was the result of the most extensive and exhaustive revision that the Dictionary had received. In 1900 there was added a Supplement, still edited by Noah Porter, who had now associated with himself William Torrey Harris; and in 1909 the seventh edition—the New international—entirely remade, was published by Harris as e<
