Notes:

The positions of Tutor and Assistant have not been included.

The full career is listed for faculty who began with appointments in Mathematics in this period.

The Academy, begun in 1749, did not award degrees. The Mathematics School was part of the Academy. Its head was called the Master of the Mathematics School. The College, created in 1755, did award degrees. The highest rank faculty in the College were titled Professor. Often the same Professor taught in both the College and the Mathematics School.

Thomas Pratt, Master in the English School was asked on two occasions to stand in as Master of the Mathematics School until a new Mathematics Master could be appointed.

From 1769 to 1773, mathematics instruction was given by various Tutors and English Masters. We have no record of a Master in the Mathematics School or a Professor of Mathematics in this period.

Ezra Otis Kendall also held the Flower Professorship in Astronomy from 1892 to 1896 when he relinquished this chair so that Professor Doolittle could be appointed Flower Professor of Astronomy. Ezra Otis Kendall, who had retired in 1896, held the Scott Chair title until his death in 1899. In that year Charles Doolittle dropped the title of Professor of Mathematics, remaining Flower Professor of Astronomy, and Edwin Crawley became Chairman of the Department of Mathematics and Thomas A. Scott Professor of Mathematics. We trace the beginning of the "Department of Mathematics" to this final separation from Astronomy and other disciplines such as Natural Philosophy with which the faculty were associated in earlier times.
