PRESIDENT TYLER.
Bennett Tyler, the youngest child of James and Anne (Hunger- ford) Tyler, was born in that part of Waterbury which is now Mid- dlebury, July 10, 1783. He was brought up amidst the influences of a Puritan household, and at the age of six years began attending the district school. When fifteen years old, he was sent to Watertown to learn a trade, but an accident which unfitted him for labor turned the current of his life, and he entered Yale college in 1800, in the same class with the Hon. John C. Calhoun, Bishop Gadsden, the Rev. John Pierpont and the Rev. Dr. McEwen. During his junior year, as an indirect result of the remarkable religious "revival" of 1802, he became a member of the college church (at the same time with Moses Stuart and several others). He gradu- ated in 1804. After a year of teaching at the Weston academy, he entered the private theological school of the Rev. Asahel Hooker at Goshen, and was licensed to preach in 1806.
Being threatened with consumption at the threshold of his min- istry, Mr. Tyler, with a friend, made a journey on horseback to
557
THE ROLL OF COLLEGE GRADUATES.
Niagara Falls, riding a large part of the way through an unbroken wilderness. He returned in the autumn (1807), and accepted an invitation to supply the pulpit of the little church in South Britain. In the spring he received a unanimous call to the pastorate, and was ordained June 1, 1808. The church, which was in a decadent and seemingly hopeless condition, was greatly revived and increased during his ministry of fourteen years, over a hundred persons hav- ing been received to membership in it on profession of their faith. For a part of the time he taught a select school, and had among his pupils the Hon. Truman Smith and the Rev. Dr. Pierce, after- wards president of Western Reserve college.
In 1822 Mr. Tyler was surprised by a call to the presidency of Dartmouth. He accepted the appointment and filled the posi- tion successfully, but "never felt so much at home as in the duties of the ministry." At the end of six years he was invited to the pastorate of the Second church in Portland, Me., where he became, in September, 1828, the immediate successor of the lamented Pay- son. He remained here five years, and was engaged almost from the first in combating certain "new speculations" in theology which had found the light in Connecticut, having been put forth by the Rev. N. W. Taylor of New Haven. Dr. Tyler spoke and wrote with earnestness and vigor in defense of the old theology, and thus won the favor of the conservative theologians. These men, feeling convinced that something important must be done to protect the faith and prevent a disastrous apostasy, organized a Pas- toral union, and through the efforts of this union the "Theological Institute of Connecticut " was founded to counteract the influence of the so-called New Haven theology. Within a space of twenty- five years ample buildings were erected at East Windsor Hill, a library was established, three professorships were endowed and charitable foundations provided for students,-a conclusive proof that in 1833 the conviction was widespread and deep among conser- vative men that such a seminary was greatly needed. To the pres- idency of the new "Institute" Dr. Tyler was invited, and for this trying position he relinquished the Portland parish of which he was so fond. He said afterward:
It appeared to me, as it did to the founders of the institution, that the interests of religion required that a stand should be taken, and that the object was suffi- ciently important to justify the risk that I should run. . And from that time to the present my mind has never wavered.
After Dr. Tyler had held this position of "defender of the faith " for twenty-three years, a protest was published by some members of the Pastoral union, expressing the regretful conviction-
558
HISTORY OF WATERBURY.
that his teaching was not entirely in accordance with the creed of that organization, especially in regard to "human ability, imputa- tion and atonement." But at the next meeting of the union reso- lutions were adopted, fully sustaining Dr. Tyler's orthodoxy. There were other reasons, however, why his term of active service should be brought to a close. The following year, in July, 1857, he offered his resignation, on account of "age and infirmities." It was accepted, but he was made "professor emeritus," and an annuity of $500 was voted to him. In an address made at the time of his retirement he expressed the opinion that "a great check had been given to the errors which were becoming rife," but that it "would take a hundred years for the churches to recover from the effect of these speculations."
. On November 12, 1807, Mr. Tyler married Esther, daughter of Deacon John Stone of Middlebury. They had twelve children, among whom were the Rev. John Ellery Tyler, the Rev. Josiah Tyler, missionary to the Zulus of South Africa, and Martha, wife of the Rev. Dr. Nahum Gale of Lee, Mass. In November, 1857, the children and grandchildren assembled at the family mansion on East Windsor Hill, to celebrate the golden wedding of the father and mother. Six months later (May 14, 1858), Dr. Tyler was seized with a neuralgic affection, and died the same day. His wife fol- lowed him a few days after.
It ought perhaps to be added that the East Windsor Theological institute has become the Hartford Theological seminary, and that Dr. Bushnell's work on "Christian Nurture," against which Dr. Tyler issued two series of letters, is used in that seminary as a text-book.
In addition to the "letters" just referred to, the list of Dr. Tyler's published writings embraces about thirty sermons and con- troversial pamphlets and the following volumes:
History of the New Haven Theology, in Letters to a Clergyman : 1837.
A Review of Day on the Will: 1837.
Memoirs of the Rev. Asahel Nettleton, D. D .: 1844.
Nettleton's Remains: 1845.
A Treatise on the Sufferings of Christ: 1845.
A Treatise on New England Revivals: 1846. Lectures on Theology: 1859.
The "Lectures on Theology " are preceded by a memoir (pages 13- 149) written by Dr. Tyler's son-in-law, the Rev. Dr. Gale. It con- tains a full list of his published writings (pages 114, 115), and a summing up, in three chapters, of his characteristics as a teacher of theology, a preacher, a man and a Christian.

THE ROLL OF COLLEGE GRADUATES.
PRESIDENT CARTER.
Franklin Carter, the third son of Deacon Preserve Wood and Ruth (Holmes) Carter, was born in Waterbury, September 30, 1837. In December, 1853, he entered Phillips academy, Andover, and graduated from that school with the valedictory address in July, 1855. He entered Yale college in September of the same year, and in June, 1856, was the successful competitor for the Woolsey schol- arship. In April, 1857, his studies were interrupted by ill health, and he spent three years in travel in the southern and western states. When his strength was sufficiently re-established, he made the journey on horseback to Williamstown, Mass., entered the Junior class at Williams college and graduated there in 1862.
On February 24, 1863, he married Sarah L., daughter of Charles D. Kingsbury of this city. The same month he was elected to the professorship of Latin and French in his Alma Mater, and immedi- ately went abroad for travel and study. In January, 1865, he began his new work. In 1868 he was relieved of the task of instruction in French, but remained professor of Latin until July, 1872, when he was elected to the professorship of German in Yale college. After another year spent in Europe, he entered upon his duties at Yale, September, 1873. While there, he wrote and published various articles on subjects connected with the German language and liter- ature, and in 1879 published an edition of Goethe's "Iphigenie auf Tauris."
In February, 1881, Professor Carter was elected president of Williams college, and was inaugurated in July of the same year. His inaugural address excited general interest because of the emphasis it placed upon the study of Hebrew history and Jewish ideas in our colleges, and his suggestions on that subject have been widely adopted. Under his administration Williams college has gained in every direction. Her teaching force has been greatly enlarged, and may be compared favorably with that of any of our colleges. Her friends have been multiplied, and her equipment in buildings and apparatus much improved. It has been the aim of President Carter to hold the institution faithful to the best traditions of the New England college; to keep prominent the element of personal guidance by the professors, and at the same time to multiply and enrich the advantages offered to each student. He has been to a marked degree successful in realizing this ideal.
President Carter is the author of the Life of Mark Hopkins, in the "American Religious Leaders" series, Boston, 1892.

HISTORY OF WATERBURY.
PRESIDENT WOODWORTH.
Frank Goodrich Woodworth, son of the Rev. Dr. William Walter and Sarah Upson (Goodrich) Woodworth, was born in Waterbury (in the Leavenworth street parsonage of the First church) Decem- ber 23, 1853. In 1857, he became a member of the household of his grandfather, the Rev. Charles A. Goodrich in Hartford, where he resided until his nineteenth year. In 1870, his father accepted a call to the pastorate of the Congregational church in Grinnell, Ia. The son removed there in 1871, entered Iowa college, in that place, and graduated in 1876. He spent two years at the Yale Divinity school, and graduated from the Hartford Theological seminary in 1880. He was immediately called to the pastorate of the church in Wolcott, and had there a happy and useful ministry of nearly seven years, during a large part of which period this old and depleted church was on a self-supporting basis.
On June 1, 1881, he married Ellen Evelyn, daughter of Samuel Upson.
In 1887, Mr. Woodworth accepted a call to the presidency of Tougaloo university, in Mississippi, and since that time has been actively engaged in the management of that institution and in rep- resenting before northern congregations the needs and opportu- nities of the negro population of the south. He was a delegate to the International Congregational council at London in 1891, and a speaker at the World's Congress, Chicago, 1893, on Africa.
