Gideon Lane Soule (/ˈsoʊl/; July 25, 1796 – May 28, 1879) was an American educator, and the third principal of Phillips Exeter Academy.


Soule was born in Freeport, Maine, in 1796 to Moses and Martha Soule. He was descended from George Soule, a Mayflower passenger, and John Wheelwright, the founder of the town of Exeter, New Hampshire. At a young age, he left school to work as an errand boy for Jacob Abbot, who helped him attain admission to Phillips Exeter in 1813. After three years, he entered Bowdoin College, graduating in 1818. He taught at Exeter for a year as an assistant teacher, then left. He returned in 1822, as a permanent instructor in classical language. In 1838, he replaced Benjamin Abbot as principal of Exeter. He resigned as principal in 1873 citing old age as his reason. In 1856, he was awarded an LL.D degree by Harvard University.[1]





Augustus Lord Soule


He was married to Elizabeth Phillips, with whom he had five children. His two daughters died in infancy, while his three sons, Charles Emery, Nicholas Emery, and Augustus Lord, lived into adulthood. Augustus Soule went on to become a New York Supreme Court Judge.[2] He died in Exeter on May 28, 1879.


Soule Hall, one of the oldest dormitories on campus, is named for Gideon Lane Soule, as was the Gideon Lane Soule Literary Society, which merged with the Golden Branch Literary Society to form what is now the Daniel Webster Debate Society at Exeter.
