Charles Clinton Beatty was a Presbyterian minister, seminary founder, and academic philanthropist.

He was born on January 4, 1800 Princeton, New Jersey, and his father was a Presbyterian minister.[1][2] He was of Scotch Irish descent.[1] He attended College of New Jersey (now Princeton University), and its Seminary (now Princeton Theological Seminary).[2]

He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of New Brunswick in January 1822.[2] He was elected Moderator of the General Assembly in May 1862.[2] He was a director and professor at Western Theological Seminary (now Pittsburgh Theological Seminary).[2] In 1829, he and his wife founded the Steubenville Female Seminary in Steubenville, Ohio and he was superintendent.[2]

In 1861, he received an honorary degree from Washington College.[3] He was elected trustee of Washington College on September 1, 1863.[4]

On November 6, 1863, Beatty, offered $50,000 to entice ailing Washington College and Jefferson schools to unify.[5] Beatty had a number of familiar and social connections to Washington College, including a stint in leadership of the Synod of Wheeling.[5] This inducement was enough to encourage the schools to unify as Washington & Jefferson College.[5] On April 12, 1865, he was elected trustee of the unified Washington & Jefferson College, a position he held until his death.[6]

He died on October 30, 1882.[1]
