President: 1796-1799

Fr. Louis DuBourg, S.S., served as Georgetown's third president from 1796-1799. He sought to expand enrollment and Georgetown's academic offerings, but his lavish spending and conflicts with the Jesuits created challenges for the college. As a member of the Society of Priests of Saint Sulpice, DuBourg was the first non-Jesuit to serve as President of Georgetown.
