David Crenshaw Barrow Jr.

David Crenshaw Barrow Jr. (1852 to 1929) was an American mathematics teacher and university administrator at the University of Georgia in Athens. A graduate of the university in 1874, he became an adjunct professor of mathematics there in 1878 and later took on civil engineering, headed the combined Department of Mathematics and Civil Engineering and the pure mathematics department, and served as dean of Franklin College from 1899. He became acting chancellor on the death of Chancellor Hill in 1905 and was named chancellor in 1906, an office he held until his resignation in 1925, when the Board of Regents made him chancellor emeritus. During his tenure the schools of education, commerce and journalism were founded and women were admitted to the university. The David C. Barrow Chair of Mathematics and Barrow Hall honour his memory, and one of his sons also joined the mathematics faculty.
