         History

         Lewis Ross was a shoe manufacturer and banker in Rochester. He was instrumental in the founding of the Institute and served on its board from 1885 to 1915, acting as chairman for 14 years. He gave generously to the Institute in its early years, when substantial community support was needed to develop the school.
