Francis Call Woodman (1864-1959) was an American teacher and educational administrator. Woodman co-founded the Morristown School (now the Morristown-Beard School) in Morristown, New Jersey with former Harvard University classmates Thomas Quincy Brown, Jr. and Arthur Pierce Butler.[1] Woodman then served as the school's first headmaster during its first 19 years (1898-1917). During World War I, he served as an educational advisor for the YMCA in France.[2] Woodman later worked as an independent education consultant.[3]
Woodman was born on June 13, 1864. He grew up in Jamaica Plain, a historic neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, and he graduated from Roxbury Latin School. Woodman then completed his undergraduate studies at Harvard University in 1888.[2]
Following graduation from college, Woodman joined the publishing firm Longmans, Green, & Co. (now an imprint of Pearson PLC). He served as head of the educational department at their New York City office for seven years.[2]
