Historical Note: Erasmus Darwin MacMaster was born in Pennsylvania in 1806. In 1827, he graduated from Union College, becoming a minister in 1829. He worked as a pastor in New York until 1838, when he became Hanover College’s third president. In 1844, he attempted to move the college to Madison and rename it Madison University; unsuccessful, he left the college in 1845 and became president of Ohio’s Miami University. He returned to Indiana in 1850, becoming a professor of theology at the Theological Seminary in New Albany. While in Indiana, he was one of the state’s most vocal abolitionists. In 1866, he accepted the position of theology professor at the Northwestern Theological Seminary in Chicago, but died there in December.
