Frederick Lippitt

Frederick Lippitt (died May 11, 2005) was an American businessman. [ [http://media.www.browndailyherald.com/media/storage/paper472/news/2005/09/13/CampusNews/Lippitt.Leaves.The.University.A.Legacy-982971.shtml Lippitt leaves the University a legacy] ] He was the scion of a distinguished Rhode Island colonial family, the son of United States Senator Henry F. Lippitt (1911-1917), and Lucy Hayes Herron Lippitt, the grandson of Governor Henry Lippitt and the nephew of Governor Charles Warren Lippitt. First Lady Nellie Herron Taft was his aunt. He was the cousin of the late Senator John Chafee and Senator Lincoln Chafee.

Mr. Lippitt graduated from Yale University in 1939; after World War II he completed Yale Law School in 1946. He was a trustee of both St. Mark's School, where he prepped for college, and Brown University, to which he left the bulk of his fortune upon his death.

Frustrated by the corruption of Providence, Rhode Island politics under the leadership of eventually indicted mayor Vincent Cianci, Lippitt ran for mayor three times as a Republican, losing each time.

Lippitt was a member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives from 1961 to 1983, including ten years as House Minority Leader.
