Previously Principal of its Preparatory Department, Edward Hicks Magill became the second President of Swarthmore College in 1870. He had supported the decision to make the college coed and implemented one hundred rules to show his belief in strict discipline. Swarthmore College progressed during his Presidency and the first class was graduated in 1872. During his term, the Preparatory Department was abolished, and Swarthmore's reputation as an established college was secured. After his retirement in 1890, he continued his interest in the teaching of French Language literature.
