The Reverend Elbert Nevius Condit (1846-1900) was a Presbyterian minister and the third president of Occidental College.
The son of the Reverend Thaniel Beers Condit (1804-1888) and Rebecca Jane Shafer, Elbert Condit earned his bachelors degree from The College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) in 1873 and attended the Princeton Theological Seminary where he prepared for the ministry in the Presbyterian church.[1] Condit graduated the seminary in 1877, and on 9 May 1877 was ordained at the First Presbyterian Church of Stillwater in Stillwater, New Jersey, the congregation his father served for 44 years.[1] Condit went to the Pacific Northwest with his younger brother, Rev. Isaac Hiram Condit (1848-1930), to serve as a home missionary in Astoria and Clatsop Plains, Oregon.[2] In 1879, he was appointed president of the Albany Collegiate Institute in Albany, Oregon.
Condit was appointed as the third president of Occidental College near Los Angeles, California and served in the post from 1894 to 1896.[1] He resigned to take up the pastorate of the Presbyterian congregation in Walla Walla, Washington.[1] [1]
