Biographical Sketch Cyrus Nutt, Indiana Asbury's first professor, was born in a log cabin near Southington, Ohio in Trumbull county on September 4, 1814. Before coming to Greeencastle to open the little preparatory school at Old Asbury he had graduated in 1836 from Allegheny College in Pennsylvania and taught for a year in its preparatory department. By 1839 Nutt was appointed professor of Greek and Latin at Asbury (DePauw). After his marriage in 1843 he left the university briefly to the pastoral ministry during which he was Pastor of the Methodist church in Bloomington, in Salem, and presiding elder of the Richmond district. He returned as professor of Greek language and literature from 1846 to 1849. From 1857-60 he served as vice president of the University. He then became president at Indiana University in Bloomington in 1860, where he remained until his death in 1875. Nutt, Cyrus, 1814-1875 See also: 1. Autograph Album: DPU Vol. 356, Stolz 2.
