Martin Brewer Anderson was an American educator and the first president of the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York.
Background
Martin Brewer Anderson was born on February 12, 1815 in Brunswick, Maine, United States, where his grandfather, Jacob Anderson, a Revolutionary soldier of Scotch-Irish descent, had cleared a farm. Martin, son of Jacob, fought in the War of 1812. It was a sturdy ancestry of farmers and mechanics that gave its heritage to Martin Brewer Anderson, son of Martin. His mother was Jane Brewer, of the neighboring town of Freeport. She was of English descent, a woman of force and character, deeply religious, and a zealous promoter of temperance.
When the boy was three years old, his parents removed to Freeport, and thirteen years later to Bath, where the father was a school-teacher.
Education
Martin matured rapidly and determined to acquire a good education, although through his father's ill health he was compelled to aid in the support of the family. While employed in a shipyard, he prepared himself for college and saved what he could toward his future expenses.
He entered Waterville (now Colby) College, Maine, in 1836, where his natural gifts soon made him a leader. To eke out his living he served as commissary in college commons.
At the end of his college course he went to the Newton Theological Institution in Massachusetts to prepare for the ministry, but left it after a year.
Career
Anderson began his career as instructor in Greek, Latin, and mathematics in Waterville.
A winter vacation spent in Washington for his health gave him opportunity to supply the pulpit of a church so satisfactorily that he was invited to remain as pastor; he declined, however, and returned to his college, where he served as professor of rhetoric from 1843 to 1850.
In 1850 he became editor and proprietor of the New York Recorder, a denominational weekly. Through the columns of this paper he discussed with a fearless and trenchant pen the religious issues of the day: foreign missions, Bible translation, educational matters in the State of New York--all to such good purpose that he gained a steadily increasing influence over Baptist thought.
When the University of Rochester was founded in 1853 to supplant Madison University located inconveniently at Hamilton off the main routes of travel, Anderson was called to be its first president. Within ten years under his leadership the growth of the college required a new building, and the president undertook the task of raising funds, including an attempt to secure a state appropriation. The task was uncongenial to one sensitive to rebuffs, but he succeeded in raising the outside amount necessary to obtain a state allowance of $25, 000, enabling the theological department of the institution to be separated from the college.
After the custom of those days President Anderson taught psychology, metaphysics, and ethics. He was in sympathy with the scientific method, and believed in the historical method of research and criticism, which became a hobby with him. He required in each department of the college the historical development of every subject. Versatile in his learning, acquainted with literature, art, politics, and law, he also lectured on economics in his own institution, and on various subjects to a wider public.
He was one of the editors of Johnson's Cyclopædia, working faithfully at the tiresome details of the undertaking.
During the years of his college activities he still took part in the activities of his religious denomination.
His health broke down in 1877, although, by limiting his engagements and taking time to recuperate in Florida, he was able to retain the presidency of the college until 1888. In 1889 he took up his permanent residence at Lake Helen, Florida, where he died in the following year.
