Burton Crosby Hallowell (May 2, 1915 – November 21, 2006) was the ninth president of Tufts University.
He then returned to Wesleyan, where he served as a professor of economics from 1946 until 1967, helping establish "the best small department of economics in the country" (as appraised, at the time, by an external evaluation).
He is credited with successfully applying his financial planning skills to Tufts' budget.
He resigned as president in 1976, in accordance with his belief that such a position should be held for no longer than a decade.
Hallowell Hall on the Tufts University campus is named for him.
