Biography
Haydn was born in Pompey, New York, December 11, 1831.[1]
He graduated from Amherst College in 1856 and Union Theological Seminary in 1859. He was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church (Old Stone Church) on Public Square in Cleveland from 1872–1880 and 1884–1902.[2]
While president at Western Reserve from 1897–1890, he most notably ended coeducation, instead creating a coordinate system solution[clarification needed], establishing the College for Women, later named Flora Stone Mather College.[3]
Wrote "The History of Presbyterianism in Cleveland," published in 1893 by Winn and Judson,[4] and wrote much of "Annals of the First Presbyterian Church of Cleveland, 1820-1895," in 1895, also published by Winn and Judson.[5]
Haydn died in Cleveland on July 31, 1913, and was buried at Lake View Cemetery.[6]
