William Tennent (1673 – 1746) was a Scots-Irish Presbyterian minister and pioneering educator in colonial Pennsylvania who founded the influential Log College, a humble theological school that trained many of the revivalist preachers central to the First Great Awakening. His commitment to evangelical zeal and ministerial education helped spark a wave of religious revival in early America and laid important groundwork for the later establishment of institutions like the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University).
