Joseph Caldwell [1]
a Presbyterian minister, the author of a System of Geometry and a Treatise of Plane Trigonometry, was born in Lamington, N. J., April 21, 1773, graduated at Princeton 1791, and became Professor of Mathematics at the University of North Carolina in 1796, in which same year he was licensed as a Presbyterian minister. From 1804 till his death, Jan, 24, 1835, with an intermission of five years, he was President of the University, and to his exertions it owes the respectable position which it now occupies. — Sprague, Annals, 4:173.
