Samuel Sterling Sherman (1815–1914), also known as S.S. Sherman, was an American educator. He was born in Vermont in 1815, educated at Middlebury College, and later was a tutor at the University of Alabama. He taught at Alabama, and served as sometimes librarian, with Frederick Augustus Porter Barnard and Basil Manly Sr. Sherman was a co-founder of Howard College in Marion, Alabama (now Samford University of Birmingham, Alabama). As president, he delivered an address to students at Howard College that was published in 1850.[1] Sherman later was founder of a preparatory school in Georgia. As the sectional tensions heightened, and secession loomed, Sherman moved his family to Wisconsin, where he had a second career as an educator.[2]
