Lyttleton Morgan (1813 – 1895) was the first chairman of the board of trustees of Morgan State University, which was renamed in his honor (it was founded as the Centenary Biblical Institute).[1]
Rev. Morgan was "station-preacher" meaning that he generally traveled to different churches to preach the Gospel, without having a church of his own. He had preached at every prominent church in the Baltimore Methodist Episcopal Conference.[2] Morgan also served as chaplain to the United States House of Representatives from 1851 to 1852.[3] He was married to Susan Rigby Dallam Morgan, a poet of the Poe era.
Morgan State University, in Baltimore, used to be the Centenary Biblical Institute of the Methodist Episcopal, but was renamed in his honor in 1890.[4]
