The Hollis Chair of Divinity is an endowed chair at Harvard Divinity School. It was established in 1721 by Thomas Hollis, a wealthy English merchant and benefactor of the university, at a salary of £80 per year.[1] It is the oldest endowed chair in the United States, the first professorship in theology in the country,[2] and in the early 19th century it was considered to be "the most prestigious endowed professorship in America".[3]
