The resignation of the Presidency by Dr. Dag- gett, in 1777, made way for the introduction of Ezra Stiles, — a name of scarcely less than world- wide celebrity. The spot on which he first saw the light was distant only a few miles from this, — the theatre of his greatest fame. His father, the Rev. Isaac Stiles, — himself a fine classical scholar, gave the earliest direction to his stu- 29 dies ; and the fact that at twelve years of age he was fitted for college, witnessed at once to the compete...ncy of the teacher and the extraordinary promise of the pupil. While he was an under- graduate, he was a shining light among his fel- lows ; and he bore away from college its highest honours. He studied Theology with a view to the ministry, and actually began to preach, and was invited to several fields of ministerial labour ; but his health failed, and a morbid state of mind ensued, in which were generated the most pain- ful doubts in regard to the- Divinity of the Gos- pel ; and, while thus in conflict with the skepti- cal spirit, he chaftged his purpose and studied Law, After a while, however, he recovered his health, and with that his faith, and with that his love for the profession from which he had a little while before drawn back; and the next we hear of him is that he has accepted a unanimous call from the Second Congregational Church in New- port to become their pastor.
