Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses at the Induction of Professor Timothy Dwight: As President of Yale College, Thursday, July 1, 1886 At a Special Meeting of the Corporation of the College, held on Thursday, May 20, 1886, the Rev. President Porter presented (in accordance with a purpose announced in October, 1885) his resignation of the Presidency, to take effect at the induction of his successor; and later in the same day the Rev. Timothy Dwight, D.D., Professor of Sacred Literature in the Theological Department, was elected to the Presidential office. The Corporation intrusted the arrangements for the inauguration to a committee of their own number, with the President-elect, who were empowered to avail themselves of such assistance as might prove desirable; the invaluable assistance rendered the committee by Mr. Charles H. Farnam, of New Haven, of the class of 1868, should be specially acknowledged here. The date selected for the ceremony, the day after Commencement, was on most accounts a convenient one, insuring from its relation to Commencement Day the presence of a large body of the graduates; but it was regretted that Commencement exercises at their own Colleges detained many of the officers of other institutions who might at a less busy season have been present. It was also a subject of regret that only a limited number of the undergraduate students were still in residence, their duties for the term having ended the week before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes the good man, by the uncommon powers of his mind, by peculiar incidents in his life, by having exerted a commanding influence on the interests of the public, or by having acquired an unusual share in their affections; presents the most attractive subject of biography. That good man is Timothy Dwight.The grandson of Jonathan Edwards, Timothy Dwight will doubtless be ranked among the first men in the history of our country. In the acquisition of knowledge, we have seen that the earliest efforts of his mind, even in infancy, were singular and extraordinary; and that his talents were as strongly marked at this early stage of his existence, as perhaps at any subsequent period of his life. He learned the alphabet in a single lesson; and before he was four years old he was reading the Bible with ease, favoring the historical books. He was admitted as a student at Yale at 13 years of age. At 19 he was teaching at Yale. But what was most extraordinary was that when he started as president at Yale the school was in decline and students were rebellious and embracing sin. A few short years later enrollment had more than doubled and attendance at the College Church increased from three students to over 50% of the students. Timothy Dwight was a teacher, pastor, and father to the students, and by the time of his death was known as the father to New England -- and for most of his life he was without sight, unable to see well enough to read or write.Timothy Dwight was truly an extraordinary man."He was, indeed, a father to New England her moral legislator. His life is an era in her history, To the churches of his persuasion in that country, he was a guardian, a friend, a counselor. In the hour of trial, they found support in his firmness, assistance in his wisdom, and encouragement in his prayers. As a peacemaker, he was eminently blessed; for his advice was asked, and given in the spirit of Christian humility and justice."As a minister and preacher of the gospel, it is not easy to convey an adequate idea of his characteristic excellence. Having been compelled, from the weakness of his eyes, to adopt the plan of preaching without notes; his sermons, except those designed for extraordinary occasions, were for the first twenty years chiefly unwritten. Usually, he barely noted the general divisions, and some of the most important and leading ideas. There is no doubt, that this mode had its peculiar advantages; nor that his style and manner, as an extemporaneous preacher, were more popular and captivating, than at a later period, when his discourses were written at length. When unconfined by notes, the whole field of thought was before him. Into that field he entered; conscious where his subject lay, and by what metes and bounds it was limited; and enjoying also that calm self-possession and confidence of success, which trial alone can give, and which every successive effort had only served to increase. Within these limits, his powers had full scope, his imagination was left to range at will, his feelings were kindled, and his mind became in the highest degree creative. Its conceptions were instantaneous; its thoughts were new and striking; its deductions clear and irresistible; and its images, exact representations of what his eye saw, living, speaking, and acting. When we add, that these were accompanied by the utmost fluency and force of language, a piercing eye, a countenance deeply marked with intellect, a strong emphasis, a voice singular for its compass and melody, an enunciation remarkably clear and distinct, a person dignified and commanding, and gestures graceful and happy; we need not inform the reader, that his pulpit efforts, at this period, possessed every characteristic of animated and powerful eloquence. Many instances of its effects upon large audiences are remembered, and might easily be mentioned, which were most striking proofs of its power over the feelings and the conscience.
