JOHN RALEIGH MOTT (b. 1865- d. 1955) John Raleigh Mott (May 25, 1865-January 31, 1955) was born of pioneer stock in Livingston Manor, New York, the third child and only son among four children. His parents, John and Elmira (Dodge) Mott, moved to Postville, Iowa, where his father became a lumber merchant and was elected the first mayor of the town. At sixteen, Mott enrolled at Upper Iowa University, a small Methodist preparatory school and college in Fayette. He was an enthusiastic student of history and literature there and a prizewinner in debating and oratory, but transferred to Cornell University in 1885. At this time he thought of his life's work as a choice between law and his father's lumber business, but he changed his mind upon hearing a lecture by J. Kynaston Studd on January 14, 1886. Three sentences in Studd's speech, he said, prompted his lifelong service of presenting Christ to students: «Seekest thou great things for thyself? Seek them not. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God.» In the summer of 1886, Mott represented Cornell University's Y.M.C.A. at the first international, interdenominational student Christian conference ever held. At that conference, which gathered 251 men from eighty-nine colleges and universities, one hundred men - including Mott - pledged themselves to work in foreign missions. From this, two years later, sprang the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions.

John R. Mott By Kate Luckert Graduate Student, Grand Valley State University Definition/Life Highlights John Raleigh Mott was an American Methodist evangelist active in world service and a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1946. Mott organized student missionary movements and united churches around the world in an effort to promote peace and world alliance. Historic Roots John R. Mott was born May 25, 1865, in Livingston Manor, New York. He died January 31, 1955 in Orlando, Florida. At a young age, his parents moved the family. His father became a lumber merchant and was elected the first mayor of Postville, Iowa. As the only son (John had three sisters), it was thought that he would follow his father's footsteps in the lumber industry. However, a Methodist minister persuaded his parents to allow him to continue his studies. When he was 16, Mott attended Upper Iowa University, a Methodist preparatory school. He later transferred to Cornell University where he received a bachelor's degree in philosophy and history. It was at Cornell that Mott first became involved in world service through the YMCA. In 1886, he represented Cornell University's YMCA at the first international, interdenominational student Christian conference. Then, for twenty-seven years (1888-1915), Mott was the national secretary of the Intercollegiate Committee of the YMCA of the U.S.A. and Canada. He also served as chairman of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions (1915-28) and of the International Missionary Council of the YMCA (1921-42). Mott was president of the YMCA's World Alliance from 1926-37.
