'John Rogers' (January 11, 1630 – July 12, 1684) was an early American academic. He was educated at Harvard College graduating with a B.A. in 1649, and a M.A., 1652). A resident of Ipswich, Massachusetts, Rogers practiced medicine and assisted his brother-in-law William Hubbard in the ministry, despite neither having been ordained as a minister or trained as a physician. In 1682 he was appointed President of Harvard; but this position he held for only two years before suddenly dying at the age of 54.
