American educator, mathematician, and president of Columbia University from 1864–1889. ALS signed “F. A. P. Barnard, Prest.,” one page, 8 x 9.75, Columbia College letterhead, January 31, 1872. In a letter to John R. Strong, Barnard writes, in part: “I observe that the optional studies selected by you at the beginning on the year embrace Calculus and Physics…I would suggest that you substitute some literary study in the place of one or both of these, as it will make the course more easy for you during the second term.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one lightly affecting one letter of the signature, light creasing, some light areas of foxing, pencil notations and brushing to a single word in the text. Accompanied by original mailing envelope, addressed in Barnard’s hand.
