The Presidency of John Adams John Adams, by John Singleton Copley, 1783 When he entered Harvard College in 1751, Adams intended to prepare for the ministry, but four absorbing years of study excited him about other intellectual and career possibilities: “I was a mighty metaphysician, at least I thought myself such.” Adams also tried his hand at being a mighty scientist, doctor, and orator. Upon graduation he became a schoolmaster but soon decided to take up the law.
