The biography of this learned and useful man-justly esteemed as the most profound and accom- plished scholar of his day in America - has been so frequent- ly written * that, as it is not es- pecially pertinent to this history, we shall not give it in extenso.t Suffice it to say that he began to study Latin at nine years, and at twelve was prepared to enter college, but, on account of his youth, was not admitted to Yale until in his fifteenth year, 1742: at the conclusion of his course, he delivered by appointment of the President (17 July, 1746), the Cliosophic Oration: received degree of A. B. same year, at age
* And especially from original wouters, etc., in the fremenlogy of the Sties Family, to which reference has been made.
+ The usual portraits of this illustrious grandson of Old Windsor represent him in his official wig and Town. The portrait- given above have the merit of showing the real phrenological development of the man, unadorned. The first, signed and dated in autograph, as above; and the second (date 1756), representing him in his ordinary study or home attire, are for similes of original pen-and-ink sketches executed by Mr. St. John

of 19; in 1748 was appointed Butler to the College, and Tutor, 1749; licensed to preach 30 May, 1749, by the New Haven Association: in Dec., 1750, pronounced a Latin Funeral Oration upon Gov. Law; and in 1752, also by appointment of the Faculty, delivered a Half-Century Oration (in Latin) at the College Commencement; in Nov., 1753, was adm. to the New Haven Bar and practiced until 1755, preach- ing occasionally also. Ilis mind, at this time, was divided greatly between Law and Theology, and his health was far from strong. He had many calls to settle in the ministry, among them a strong one (1755) from the Episcopal Ch. at Stratford, Conn .. urging him to take orders and become their rector, in place of the Rev. Dr. Samuel Johnson, who had recently taken the presidency of Kings (now Co- Jumbia) College in N. Y. city. This, however. he declined, the fact being that he was then struggling in his own mind with skepticism, and would not commit himself to the ministerial office until he had solved the doubts which were tormenting him. Meanwhile, he delivered at Y. C., in 1755, a Latin Oration in presence of and compliment to Doctor Benjamin Franklin, then on a visit to New Haven: received the same year a call from the Second Cong. Ch. in Newport. R. L., which he finally accepted; resigned the tutorship in Y. C. which he had hell for five yrs .. and was ord. at N. 22 Oct., 1755, at the age of 28. Here he found a new and wider field for all his mental activities, and his character and fame, both as a. scholar, a divine, and a public-spirited earnest citizen, broadened out into a fame which was acknowledged in both hemispheres, and which brought him into communication with many illustrious men. When nearly 41 yrs, of age he commenced the study of Hebrew, and that was followed rapidly by the acquisition of Arabic, Syriac, and Armenian - all of which languages he read and wrote easily. His literary labors were immense; his activity for all sorts of knowledge insatiable; his industry unin- termitting .* When difficulties arose between the colonies and the Mother Country, he threw himself with fervor into the advocacy of the patriot cause, with such fer- vor, indeed, that he became an object of suspicion and accusation to the British government. Ilis foresight predicted the Am. Revolution and the union of the col- onies into a republic. Obliged by the exigencies of the times to leave Newport, he removed, May, 1777, to Portsmouth, N. H., where he ministered for over a year to the First Cong. Church, and while there received from the Corporation of Yale College an election to the Presidency of Yale College, then vacant by the death of Pres. Daggett. This he finally accepted, and relinquishing his pastoral charge at Newport, 19 Mch., 1778, and setting forth with his family to New Haven, he was there inducted, 8 July, 1778, into the presidency of his revered Alma Mater. He took the position at an exceedingly critical time in its history, when, between the hostility aroused by the religious test act of 1753, the general want of confidence in the management of the college existing among the leading men in the State and

Stiles' literary MS. are very voluminous and form a treasury of great value for subse- quent historians and students, his published works were comparatively few, consisting of nine sermons and addresses in pamphlet form, and one vol. of 257 pp. 12mo The History of the Three Judges of King Charles 1.

legislature, and the jealousies which even then threatened the establishment of a rival institution, the usefulness and even the existence of Yale was seriously men-
ared. And in the words of Yale's historian, "the special claim of President Stiles on the gratitude of its alumni, is his success in bringing the college back into the line of its traditions, and to its historie place in har- mony with the legislature and with all classes of people in the State. His character as a scholar gave the college reputation and dig- nity at home and abroad. lle was an ardent patriot and devotedly attached to the college. lle was. a truly academic man, thoroughly imbued with the spirit of the place, and dis- posed to maintain all its traditions. No officer of the institution ever labored with more zeal for its prosperity." He died in office, 12 May, 1795. Pres. Stiles m. (1) 10 Feb., 1757, Elizabeth (dau. Col.

of the place, the confidences of both old and young; and many who were comparatively strang- ers to the place sought their acquaintance and val- med it exceedingly when found. Stiles's History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor owed inch of its inspiration and value to these old ladies; and the copy which constantly laid upon their " sitting- room " table beside the Bible was a much-thumbved volume, frequently consulted by strangers from afar who came to W. to trace their lineage, or to renew the associations of early youth.
