Henry T. Moore 
Henry T. Moore became Skidmore’s second president in 1925, ready to
take on the challenge of developing the young college both academically
and physically.Moore's 32-year presidency brought Skidmore College to a position of leadership in women’s education. Under his tenure, academic programs were developed and refined, and an excellent faculty recruited. A library, infirmary, residence halls, and dining halls were built, and other acquisitions allowed the College to grow further. Even more significant than his administrative and financial abilities was his influence on a generation of Skidmore students whom he inspired to intellectual and creative achievement. The young college had grown to an enrollment of more than 1,100 by his retirement in 1957. Moore Hall, the only building on the Scribner campus still in use, and the Moore Quadrangle (Kimball, Penfield, Wilmarth, and McClellan halls) are named for him. Creative Thought Matters.
