FREDERICK MAY ELIOT (September 15, 1889-February 17, 1958) served as President of the American Unitarian Association (AUA) for twenty years.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts to Christopher Rhodes Eliot, a minister, and Mary Jackson May, he was educated at the Prince Grammar School and Roxbury Latin, from which he graduated in 1907. He entered Harvard College, majored in Government, graduating summa cum laude in 1911. He spent the next year in Europe, on a Sheldon Fellowship, studying how local governments functioned. He earned his M.A. from Harvard in 1912, which led to an instructorship in government from 1912-13.
He entered the ministry in 1911 and attended Harvard Divinity School from 1912-15. He was ordained in 1915 at the First Parish, Cambridge, Massachusetts, serving as associate to the senior minister for the next two years. In 1917 Eliot was called to Unity Church, St. Paul, Minnesota. During his twenty year tenure at St. Paul, the church prospered, Eliot led significant work in the wider community, and he also authored several short booklets, published by Unity Church: Fundamentals of Unitarian Faith (1926); Toward Belief in God (1925); and Prayers Spoken in Unity Church, Saint Paul (1932).
During the 1930s Eliot received three honorary degrees: from Carlton College in Minnesota (D.D., 1935), Meadville Theological School (D.D., 1937), and the University of Minnesota (LL.D., 1937).
In 1934 Eliot became chair of the AUA's Commission on Appraisal, becoming president in 1937, a position he held until his death in 1958.view less
