Thomas Malthus - Life
Malthus was born to a prosperous family. His father Daniel was a personal friend of the philosopher and sceptic David Hume and an acquaintance of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The young Malthus was educated at home until his admission to Jesus College, Cambridge in 1784. There he studied many subjects and took prizes in English declamation, Latin and Greek. His principal subject was mathematics. He earned a masters degree in 1791 and was elected a fellow of Jesus College two years later. In 1797, he was ordained and became an Anglican country parson.
Malthus married in 1804; he and his wife had 3 children. In 1805 he became Britain's (and possibly the world's) first professor in political economy at the East India Company College at Haileybury in Hertfordshire. His students affectionately referred to him as "Pop", or "Population" Malthus.
Malthus refused to have his portrait done until 1833 because of embarrassment over a hare lip. This was then corrected by surgery, and Malthus was considered very handsome. Malthus also had a cleft palate (inside his mouth) that affected his speech. These related cleft birth defects were relatively common in his family.
Malthus was buried at Bath Abbey in England.
