Theodore Harding Rand (1835-1900) was a Canadian educator and poet. He graduated from Acadia College in 1860. Upon graduation, he became Professor of Classics at the Provincial Normal School in Truro. He became interested in the common school movement and travelled to Great Britain and the United States to study the common school phenomenon. He began to advocate common schools for Nova Scotia, and produced writings and lectures on the topic. In 1871 Rand became New Brunswick's first Superintendent of Education and oversaw the creation of public education in New Brunswick. He continued his own education during this time, receiving his D. C.L. from Acadia College in 1874. He left the world of public education in 1883 when he became Professor of History and Didactics at Acadia College. In 1885, he moved to Toronto to take a position at the Toronto Baptist College. In 1886, he moved to Woodstock, Ontario to become college president of the Baptist Woodstock College.
