Divisions William Warren Prescott (1855–1944) was an administrator, educator, and scholar in the early Seventh-day Adventist Church.
W. W. Prescott graduated from Dartmouth College in 1877 and served as principal of high schools in Vermont, and published and edited newspapers in Maine and Vermont prior to accepting the presidency of Battle Creek College (1885 to 1894).
He was invited to tour many regions of the world (1894–1895) to hold Bible institutes and to strengthen developing educational interests.
Back in the USA in 1901, he became vice-president of the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist church, chairman of the Review and Herald Publishing Association board (a Seventh-day Adventist church operated publishing house), and editor of the Review and Herald (a Seventh-day Adventist church religious magazine).
He was a field secretary of the General Conference from 1915 until his retirement in 1937, serving during this time as principal of the Australasian Missionary College (1922), and as head of the Bible department at Union College (1924–1928).
