Brother Henry Fowle Durant (1822-1881) founded Wellesley College (MA) in 1870, naming it after himself. His original name was Henry Welles Smith, but Brother Durant legally changed it, thinking his original name was too common. An attorney, he was a fervent lay preacher and served as the Treasurer of Wellesley College for 11 years. His lodge is unknown, but he became a member of St. Andrew's Royal Arch Chapter of Boston on June 1, 1852.
