Leonard Hoar was born c. 1630 in Gloucester, England. He was the son of Charles Hoare, brewer, stapler, and alderman of Gloucester, England, and his wife, Joanna Hinksman. Both were devoted to the Rev. John Workman, a victim of Archbishop Laud. The father died in 1638, after willing that Leonard be educated at Oxford; but within three years the mother took her young family to Braintree, Massachussets.
Leonard entered Harvard College in 1647 and, after taking his master's degree in 1653, he sailed for England, where he was incorporated Master of Arts degree in the University of Cambridge, July 5, 1654. In 1662, he studied medicine and botany, became acquainted with the group of experimental philosophers who were organizing the Royal Society, and by royal mandate, obtained probably by his friend, Doctor Robert Morison, botanist and physician to Charles II, was created Doctor of Medicine degree by the University of Cambridge on January 20, 1671.
Returning to Boston in July 1672, on a call from the Old South Church, Hoar brought a letter signed by thirteen dissenting ministers of London recommending him to the expected vacancy in the Harvard presidency. Before his arrival the not unprayed for demise of the amiable but decrepit President Chauncy took place. Hoar was promptly chosen to the office, voted a salary of £150 (a fifty percent increase) by the General Court, and inaugurated December 10, 1672. Hoar found the college in a sad decline, but his ambition was high. His purpose to find a place for experimental science in the curriculum is shown by a letter to Robert Boyle of December 13, 1672, declaring that he hoped to obtain "a large well-sheltered garden and orchard for students addicted to planting; an ergasterium for mechanic fancies; and a laboratory chemical for those philosophers, that by their senses would culture their understandings for readings or notions only are but husky provender. "
He obtained funds for a new building and a new charter from the General Court, and published the first catalogue of graduates in the form followed by the older American universities ever since. Yet the Hoar administration was a complete failure, and for what cause is still a matter of conjecture. Apparently Reverend Urian Oakes of Cambridge expected the presidency himself, and conspired with other Fellows to thwart Hoar, encouraging the undergraduates "to Travestie whatever he did and said, " says one of them, Cotton Mather, and accusing him of lying and immorality.
In 1673 these and other charges were ventilated before the Board of Overseers, the General Court, and Governor Leverett, all of which sustained the president. But by this time most of the students had left Cambridge, Hoar's health suffered, and he asked to be relieved. The General Court failed in a fresh effort to heal the breach, the students refused to return, and Hoar resigned the presidency on March 15, 1675. "The Hard and Ill Usage, which he met withal, " says Cotton Mather, brought on "a Consumption, whereof he died, " November 28, 1675, in Boston.
Hoar went down in history as the third president of Harvard College. He left behind one quiet but greatly influential innovation: a series of triennial (three-year) catalogs of Harvard graduates listed by their respective Classes. When the first installment of 200 graduates appeared in 1674, it was probably the first list of college or university alumni published anywhere, according to Morison.

John Hull the goldsmith, a connection of Hoar, wrote that if "those that accused him had but countenanced and encouraged him in his work, he would have proved the best president that ever yet the college had. "
Hoar was married to Bridget, the daughter of John Lisle, the regicide, and of the unfortunate Alicia.
