Career

He wrote some valuable literature about his missionary travels, notably, in 1839, Travels in South-Eastern Asia, embracing Hindustan, Malaya, Siam, and China, and in 1840, Travels in the Burman Empire. In 1843, mainly due to these writings, he received Doctorates of Divinity from Union College and University of Vermont.
Due to loss of his voice, he was required to give up preaching. Later, he became President at Georgetown College in Kentucky until he resigned in 1850, and of the University at Lewisburg in Pennsylvania (later, Bucknell University).{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WfIjoJvy9i0C&dq=bucknell+%22howard+malcolm%22+president&pg=PA19|first=William H.|last=Brackney|authorlink=William H.
