Rev. Hiram Collins Haydn (December 11, 1831 – July, 31, 1913) was an American minister and the fifth President of Western Reserve University, now Case Western Reserve University.
Haydn was born in Pompey, New York, December 11, 1831.
Haydn graduated from Amherst College in 1856 and Union Theological Seminary in 1859. He was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church (Old Stone Church) on Public Square in Cleveland from 1872–1880 and 1884–1902.[1]
While president at Western Reserve from 1897–1890, he most notably ended coeducation, instead creating a coordinate system solution, establishing the College for Women, later named Flora Stone Mather College.[2]
