Biographical History
Leigh S.J. Hunt, a native of Indiana, received his undergraduate degree through Middlebury College (Vermont). Hunt passed the bar in Indiana and taught in the public schools in Indiana and Iowa, prior to serving as a superintendent (1880-1882). He was named the third president of Iowa Agricultural College (Iowa State University) in 1885, but his lack of experience and aggressive style of leadership led to conflicts with students and faculty, and he resigned in 1886. Thereafter, Hunt participated in a wide variety of successful business ventures, including newspaper publishing, banking, real estate, and land development. In 1885, Hunt married Jessie Noble (attended Iowa State, 1882) and they had 2 children: Helen and Henry. Leigh Hunt died on October 5, 1933, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
