Josiah Quincy (1772-1864), St. John's Lodge of Boston, was Harvard's 15th president, serving from 1829-1845. In 1834, an argument between a student and teacher escalated and resulted in disciplinary action against several students. The disciplined students' classmates rioted after the action, breaking windows and furniture and otherwise disrupting campus life. Things got so out-of-hand, Brother Quincy expelled the entire sophomore class!
