Francis Lister Hawks (1798-1866) was an American writer, historian, educator and priest of the Episcopal Church. After practicing law with some distinction (and a brief stint as politician in North Carolina), Hawks became an Episcopal priest in 1827. Hawks was the first president of the University of Louisiana (now known as Tulane University). Hawks's major contributions now seem literary.
