EspañolELIPHALET NOTT
'Eliphalet Nott' (June 25, 1773 - January 25, 1866), American divine, was born at Ashford, Connecticut.
He was left an orphan without resources, but graduated in 1795 at Brown University. In 1804 he became president of Union College, Schenectady, New York, a position which he held until his death. During this period he was also president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (1829-1845), though he was much more loyal to Union.
He found Union College financially embarrassed, but succeeded in placing it on a sound footing. He is memorialized by the Nott Memorial found at Union College. He was known also as the inventor of the first stove for anthracite coal. His publications include sermons, ''Counsels to Young Men'' (1810), and ''Lectures on Temperance'' (1847).
Nott Road in Rexford, NY, location of his farm, is named for him.
See ''Life'' by C van Santvoord (ed. Tayler Lewis, 1876).
