Nov 28, 2021 at 18:44 comment added varkor The pullback characterisation is due to Linton, and appears as Observation 1.1 of the 1969 paper An Outline of Functorial Semantics.

Jun 20, 2010 at 21:32 comment added Finn Lawler @M.S.: (I presume you mean Beck's theorem.) Yes, thanks, that's where I'd seen this before. @N.Z.: Street doesn't attribute this result directly to Linton, but now that I look closely I find he calls it (in the introduction) 'the usual interpretation' of algebras.
Jun 20, 2010 at 20:43 comment added Noam Zeilberger I've seen this characterization of algebras (as presheaves on the kleisli category) attributed (here: pps.jussieu.fr/~mellies/papers/segal-lics-2010.pdf) to Linton, "Relative functorial semantics: adjointness results", Lecture Notes in Mathematics, vol. 99, 1969.
