Colonel James McBrayer Sellers Jr. (March 1, 1929 – August 3, 1993), served as Superintendent of Wentworth Military Academy in Lexington, Missouri from 1973 to 1990.
from Yale University, where he was named the Distinguished Military Graduate, and in 1956, he received an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School, where he ranked in the top 5% of his class and was elected a Baker Scholar.
Following his graduation, he spent a year on the Harvard Business School faculty as Research assistant to Georges Doriot, Professor of Manufacturing.
Wentworth was further destabilized by a devastating fire on August 7, 1975 that destroyed 32,000 square feet (3,000 m2) of space, including old D Company Barracks, the military department, the band room, the rifle range, maintenance shops, and administrative offices.
A highlight of Sellers' tenure was Wentworth's Centennial Celebration in 1980, culminating with Vice President Walter Mondale's commencement address to the cadet corps.
