Actually, the newspapers said the first person to be hired was the college's president, whose name was Dr. John H. Raymond. Some sources have said that the first professor to be hired was the noted astronomer Maria Mitchell. She joined a staff of ten professors, some of whom may indeed have been hired at the same time as she was. But she was perhaps the best-known of them all, so the newspapers focused on her.
