The Rev. Lucius Doolittle (23 May 1800 – 18 May 1862) was a Church of England priest.
After receiving a B.A. and honorary M.A. from the University of Vermont, Doolittle founded Bishop's College School in 1836 (as Lennoxville Classical School with Cambridge-Graduate Edward Chapman) and co-founded Bishop's University in 1843 in Quebec, Canada.
He also acted as the Rector of Sherbrooke, the third-largest city in Quebec and the borough of Lennoxville.[1] Bishop's College School is currently the fifth-oldest functioning private school in Canada.[citation needed]
