Scott, grandfather of Libbey’s wife, Florence Scott Libbey, on Thursday, April 27, at 7 p.m. The talk will examine Scott’s vision of Toledo as the “Future Great City of the World,” and how that vision led him to establish the Toledo University of Arts and Trades, which became UT. While Scott’s university failed in its early years, the tenacity of his three sons (including Florence’s father Maurice Scott) to see their father’s vision survive eventually produced an institution of higher learning that celebrated its 150th anniversary last year.
