Yahya Armajani (November 3, 1908 – December 28, 1991) was a professor of history and soccer coach at Macalester College. Among his students were Kofi Annan and Walter Mondale.
He was born in Siyahkal, Iran and raised as a Muslim in a peasant family in Rasht, Iran. He received an A.B. from the College of Emporia in 1930 and graduated from the Princeton Seminary in 1933, having been recruited to Princeton by Henry Bucher during the latter's family mission in Iran. He then received a M.A. (1933) and Ph.D. (1939) in Islamic history at Princeton.[1]
He worked at the Alborz College in Iran during three periods (1927–29, 1933–37, 1939–40). Then he worked for the Presbyterian Church in 1940-42 before becoming a liaison officer for the American Army Persian Gulf Command. In 1944-45 he worked for the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions (BFM) in the U.S.[2]
