6472. Elias Scott Loomis
Elias Scott Loomis, b. 7 Aug. 1811, d. 15 Aug. 1889, m. Julia Elmore Upson of Tallmadge, Ohio 18 May 1840. She d. 1854. They had 2 sons: Francis Engelsby Loomis and Henry Bradford Loomis.
Elias Loomis was admitted to Yale College at the age of 14 and graduated in 1830. After teaching mathematics in Mount Hope Academy for a year, he entered Andover Theological Seminary in 1831. Two years later, after receiving a call from his alma mater, he returned to Yale where he taught Latin, mathematics, and natural philosophy. He and Alexander C. Twining of West Point carried on a series of important observations (1834) to determine the altitude of shooting stars. With Prof. Dennis Olmsted, he rediscovered Haley's Comet on its return to perihelion (1835) and again computed its orbit. He was Prof. of mathematics and natural philosophy at Western Reserve College, then located at Hudson, Ohio. Went to Paris for further study.
Returned to Western Reserve in 1837. From 1844 to 1860, except for one year at Princeton, he was Prof. of math and natural philosophy in the Univ. of the City of N.Y. Then he went to Yale where he remained until his death. He left $300,000 to Yale in his will, the largest donation up to that time.
Professor Elias Scott Loomis devised the government weather maps which were used in 1940. At that time he was a Western Reserve College mathematician and astronomer.
The sale of his textbooks provided a comfortable fortune for him. They included works on natural philosophy, astronomy, meteorology, analytic geometry and the calculus, besides other and more elementary subjects. His books were translated into Arabic and Chinese and helped greatly to make western mathematics known in the Orient.
Elias Loomis wrote a genealogy on the descendants of Joseph Loomis, first published in 1870; there were three editions, and it was revised in 1908. He listed himself as Elias Loomis, LLD, Prof. of Natural Philosophy in Yale College.
