John Fletcher Hurst

John Fletcher Hurst (1834-1903) was a bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States and first Chancellor of the American University in Washington, D.C.

Life

Born on August 17 1834, in Salem, Dorchester County, Maryland, he died on May 4 1903, in Bethesda, Maryland.

Hurst graduated from Dickinson College in 1854, and in 1856 went to Germany to Study at the University of Halle and the University of Heidelberg.

From 1858 to 1866 he was engaged in pastoral work in America, and from 1866 to 1870 he filled a five-year appointment as Professor of Systematic Theology at the Martin Mission Institute in Bremen, Germany. In 1870, Hurst was chosen to teach Historical Theology at Drew Theological Seminary in Madison, New Jersey, where he was elected President in 1873, serving until elected to the Episcopacy in 1880.

Through his devotion, Hurst, recovered the endowment of Drew Theological Seminary, lost by the failure in 1876 of Daniel Drew, its founder; and with John McClintock and George Richard Crooks he improved the quality of Methodist scholarship.

As Bishop he was assigned to Des Moines, Iowa. He subsequently served as the first chancellor of the American University (Methodist Episcopal) in Washington, D.C., where through his work finances were secured and the university first opened. He served as chancellor from 1891 until his death.

On the campus of American University, there is an academic building named after Bishop Hurst.
