Charles L. Flint was born on May 8, 1824, in Middleton, Massachusetts, the son of a farmer, Jeremiah Flint, Jr. , and his wife Polly Howard. His boyhood was passed on a farm.
In 1841 Flint entered Phillips Andover Academy. He worked his way through Harvard College, graduating in 1849, taught for a short time, and then returned to Cambridge in the fall of 1850 to study law.
After two years in the Harvard Law School, Flint entered a law office in New York City and was admitted to the New York bar. In college he had won the prize offered by the Essex Agricultural Society for the best essay on Indian corn, which was published in the Society’s Transactions for 1849, and in the Transactions of the New York State Agricultural Society, 1849 (1850).
His agricultural writings attracted the attention of Marshall P. Wilder who recommended him for the position of secretary of the newly organized Board of Agriculture of Massachusetts.
Flint was induced to give up his law practise in New York to take up the work of the Board in Boston in 1833, and remained its secretary for twenty-seven years. He initiated and continued a valuable series of reports and did much to encourage and direct the agricultural interests of the state.
He made a tour of the rural districts of Europe in 1862 and gave an account of his trip in the Tenth Annual Report (1863) of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture.
Flint was a commissioner from Massachusetts to the International Exhibition at Hamburg in 1863, and before returning, visited agricultural schools in Europe and made a detailed report on them published in the Eleventh Annual Report (1864) of the Board. He was deeply interested in education, had a conspicuous part in the founding of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was a member of the Boston School Committee, and took an active interest in the erection of the buildings for the high schools. He was one of the founders of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, chartered in 1862, was elected secretary of its board of trustees in 1863, and held the position twenty- two years.
For four years Flint also gave lectures at the college on dairy farming. On the resignation of President Clark in 1879 Flint was elected president until a permanent president could be found, and served without pay. He resigned March 24, 1880, and in June of the same year he also resigned as secretary of the Board of Agriculture. He had become president of the New England Mortgage Security Company, in which position he continued until shortly before his death. At the time of his death he was president of the Massachusetts Agricultural Club, having succeeded to the office on the death of Marshall P. Wilder.
Besides periodical articles and the valuable series of reports of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture, which Flint edited from 1853 to 1880, he wrote several books, among the more important of which were the following: A Practical Treatise on Grasses and Forage Plants (1857), published in several subsequent editions under a shorter title; Milch Cows and Dairy Farming (1858), also published in several editions from 1858 to 1889; Manual of Agriculture for the School, the Farm and the Fireside (1862), published jointly with George Barrell Emerson; How to Make the Farm Pay (1869), in collaboration with Charles W. Dickerman; "Agriculture in the United States, " a chapter in One Hundred Years’ Progress of the United States . .. By Eminent Literary Men (1870); "A Hundred Years’ Progress of American Agriculture" published in the United States Department of Agriculture Report, 1872, pp. 274 - 304, and in the Twenty-first Annual Report (1874) of the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture. Charles L. Flint died on February 26, 1889, in Hillman, Georgia, where he had gone to benefit his health. He was buried in Grafton, Massachusetts.
