Early life

Robert Lodowick Stanton was born on March 28, 1810, in Preston, Connecticut, the son of Joseph Stanton (1780–1828) and Susan M. (née Brewster) Stanton (1781–1853).[2] His father manufactured woolen goods and traded with the West Indies.[3] Robert's older brother was Henry Brewster Stanton, who became a journalist and abolitionist, publishing widely in New York and abolitionist newspapers, and lecturing on the abolitionist circuit.[4] Henry married Elizabeth Cady, who became a leader on issues of temperance, women's rights and suffrage, as well as abolition.[5]

Robert Stanton studied at the Oneida Institute in Whitesboro, New York, which he left with the so-called Lane Rebels for the Lane Theological Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio, from which he graduated. He earned his D.D. degree from Princeton University.

Career

He was ordained in 1839 by the Mississippi Presbytery,[1] and became the pastor of churches in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Ohio. He served as the second president of Oakland College, near Rodney, Mississippi, from 1851 to 1854; it was affiliated with the Presbyterian Church.[6]

He was Professor of Theology at Danville Theological Seminary in Kentucky from 1862 to 1866. From 1866 until 1871, he served as president of Miami University of Ohio. He was moderator of the general assembly of the Presbyterian Church from 1866 to 1867.[7][8]

Death

Stanton, who was a widower with one son, died aboard the steamship Nevada en route to London and was buried at sea on May 28, 1885, at the age of seventy-five.[1] At the time of his death, his residence was 2727 N Street Northwest, Washington, D.C.[9]

Legacy

Stanton Hall on the Miami University campus is named in his honor.[10]
