Jesup Scott appointed eleven members to the original board of the Toledo Toledo University of Arts and Trades, three of whom were his sons William, Frank. and Maurice (not pictured). All were in their business and civic activities of Toledo. After their father's death in 1874, they sought to keep his dream alive.<br /><br />[3]Deed of Trust (1872). Jesup Scott and his wife Susan Scott deeded 160 acres of land for the establishment of the university on October 24, 1872.
