CATALOGUE OF THE OFFICERS AND GRADUATES · OF [rinitu ~nllegr, Jartforh, FRO>\! ITS FOUNDATION IN A. D. 1823. PUBLISHED BY THE HOUSE OF CONVOCATION. Jartfnrh: PRESS OF CASE, TIFFANY AND COMPANY. M.DCCC.LY. 1Jlr.efatory N otr. THE Committee to whom was entrusted the duty of preparing and is uing a Catalogue of the names of the Alumni and others who have received degrees from Trinity College, now at length venture to submit the results of their labors to the graduates and friends of the College. It will be remembered that the main object in view, in issuing this Catalogue, is to render it the basis of a perfect list of the names and address of all our grad­ uates. Those into whose hands it may come will see both what has been done and what yet remains to be done, and they are earnestly requested, where there is any deficiency or inaccuracy in their own case, whether it relate to name, date, profession, res~:ience, or degree, or where they may have positive information in relation to others not likely to be reached by this publication, that they will communicate such accurate information for future use. The graduating class of each year is placed first. Then, after a line of separation, follow the honorary and ad eundem degrees of that year. Where the date of a death is known it is inserted, and where it is not known the fact is marked by a star. The blank spaces indicate the want of information. The Committee are largely indebted to the friendly co-operation of Messrs. Charles J. Hoadly, N. M. Belden and B. G. Whitman. The historical sketch is compiled from a more-extended account prepared by Mr. Hoadly. Communications containing c01nctions and additions to be used in futu1·e Catalogues, should be add1·essed to B. G. WHITMAN, Esq., Registm1· of the House of Convocation. EDWARD GOODMAN,} A. JACKSON, Com. HARTFORD, April, 1855. G. W. RUSSELL. J)istarintl ~ltttrq. AT a very early period in the history of the Diocese of Connecti­ cut, after its complete organization by the consecration of SEABURY, its first Bishop, in 1784, a seminary' of sound learning and Christian education began to be regarded as a desideratum. The first step in this direction was the founding of the Cheshire Academy; the earliest measures for the establishment of which were taken by a Convocation of the Clergy of the Diocese under Seabury, held at East Haddam in February, 1792. This institution, which was incorpor­ ated with limited privileges in 1801, was designed to serve as the foundation of an institution of a higher character as soon as a Char­ ter conferring full Collegiate powers could be obtained from the State. In this view it was often spoken of as "Seabury College." Unavailing efforts were made to enlarge the powers of the Academy in 1804, and again in 1810. In one instance only were they so far successful that an act granting a Collegiate Charter was passed by a decided vote in the House of Representatives, but rejected by the Council (Senate.) Vacancy in the Episcopate and, afterwards, the establishment of the General Theological Seminary, were among the causes which led the Churchmen of Connecticut to defer their project for founding a College to happier times, which seem to have dawned with the adoption of the State Constitution in 1818. For Bishop Brownell, who was consecrated in 1819, was enabled shortly after to carry the design into execution. A petition numerously signed was presented to the Legislature on t.he 13th of May, 1823. On the 16th the charter passed the lower House anu soon after received the sanction of the Senate and the signature of the Gov­ ernor. The news of the final passage of the bill granting the charter was received with great joy by the citizens of Hartford. Cannon were 6 HISTORICAL SKE'l'CH. fired and bonfires lighted. Measures were immediately taken to raise the requisite funds, the charter having provided that the Trus­ tees should not proceed to organize the institution until funds to the amount of $30,000 should be secured. Over $50,000 were imme­ diately subscribed; three-fourths of this sum in Hartford and it:; vicinity. An ample site, possessing rare capabilities, was secured on an eminence overlooking the city of Hartford and about half a mile west of the State House. The buildings were begun in June, 1824, and the College commenced its operations in September of the same year-Bishop BRoWNELL being its first President. The first Commencement was held in August, 1827, in the Centre Church, when ten young gentlemen received the degree of B. A. Bishop BROWNELL finding that the cares and labors of the Diocese required his undivided attention, resigned the presidency in 1831, and was succeeded by the Rev. N. S. WHEATON, D. D., who con­ tinued at the head of the College until1837. During his presidency, and chiefly by hia personal efforts, the Hoba·rt P?·ofessorship was endowed with the sum of $20,000; the Seabttry Professorship of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy with $14,000, and large addi­ tions made to the general funds of the institution. The Rev. SILAS TOTTEN, D. D., was chosen President in 1837, and continued to hold the office till the close of the academic year in 1848. During his incumbency Brownell Hall was erected (in 1845 ;) the funds having been mainly contributed by the citizens of Hartford. About the same time a Charity fund, amounting to $12,000, was raised by sub­ scription throughout the Diocese, to ena.ble the College to give free tttition in the form of Scholarships to those who may need such assistance. By permission of the Legislature of this same year ( 1845) the name of the College was changed from Washington to Trinity. It was in 1845 that the Trustees passed certain statutes organizing the House of Convocation and creating the Board of Fellows. The Rev. Dr. Totten was succeeded in 1848 by the Rev. JoHN WILLIAMS, D. D., an alumnus of the College. Under his Presidency the library was considerably augmented, the number of students increased, the Profes5orship of Public Economy established, and a Theological Department organized. In 1849, by an alteration of the charter, the Bishop of the Diocese was made Chancellor and ex officio President of the Board of Trustees. In1851, Dr. Williams was elected Assistant Bishop of this Diocese, and in 1853 finding that his Episcopal duties demanded his whole time and attention, he HISTORICAL SKETCH. 7 resigned the presidency of the College. His successor is the Rev. DANIEL R. GooDWIN, D. D., late of Bowdoin College, who entered on his duties in September, 1853. The year 1854 saw the Scovill Professorship of Chemistry and Natuml Science endowed with $20,000 by a single family, and a donation of $5,000 from a single individual, which is to be known as the Elton fund for the library-acts of noble generosity which it is hoped will serve as fruitful examples to others who have the welfare of the College at heart and who at the same time possess the ability to promote it. It is, we are happy to learn, the purpose of the Trustees and friends of the College to go on and endow at least one professorship every year until its apparatus for instruction is, in all respects, of .the most complete and pe1fect character. The College grounds comprise about fourteen acres, and are laid out with walks, and ornamented with trees and shrubbery. The site commands a view, on the one side of the city of Hartford, and on the other of a fine expanse of cultivated country. The Little River, which forms its north-western boundary, supplies a convenient place for bathing and rowing in the summer and for skating in winter. The proposed new park of thirty acres, which has been voted by the citizens of Hartford, joins the College grounds on the north, and will, when laid out, graded and planted with trees, add very much to their beauty. The College Halls-three in number-are built of Portland stone, and in the Ionic style. Jarvis Hall, which was erected in 1824, is 45 feet in width, 150 in length and four stories high. Seabury Hall, erected in 1824, 90 by 55 feet, and three stories high-contains the Chapel, 50 by 35 feet, which is furnished with a fine organ, the library and cabinet, each of the same dimensions with the Chapel, the laboratory, the philosophical and other public rooms. Brownell Hall, built in 1845, is 48 by 150 feet, and four stories high. The COLLEGE LIBRARY contains about 6,000 volumes and more than 4,000 pamphlets. It is rich in the Latin classics, the works of the Fathers of the Church and works on the Romish Controversy. There are also two libraries belonging to the Literary Societies, which together contain upwards of 6,000 volumes.

  • Challenging Perceptions of the Lawyer As Civic Linchpin In
    Where Did All the Lawyers Go? Challenging Perceptions of the Lawyer as Civic Linchpin in New Haven: 1830‐1890 By: Leslie Esbrook1 ‐But above all a lawyer will find his highest honor in a deserved reputation for fidelity to private trust and to public duty, as an honest man and as a patriotic and loyal citizen. –The Final Prays of the Canon of Ethics2 Lawyers have traditionally been portrayed as models for civic representation, epitomized by their role in the founding of the Republic. In recent studies a consensus has formed around the idea that the legal profession lost its civic‐mindedness, sometime between the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Consequently, the story goes, lawyers have lost a key part of the profession that elevated the law to a higher plane compared to other career paths. This paper will explore the history of this shift using New Haven and the greater Connecticut forum for empirical data. The paper will challenge the historical narrative by detailing internal inconsistencies amongst leading scholars, both in terms of time frame of decline and the amount and kind of civic participation envisioned as exemplary. I will show that, at least at the local level in New Haven, the shift of lawyers as history remembers did not occur in a radical, sudden fashion at all; by the end of the century a non‐trivial amount of lawyers continued to fully participate in civic life. Finally, I will track prevalent theories behind the myth of the lawyer’s civic decline and superimpose them on the facts relative to New Haven to show that the conflicting results accrued from the data support the absence of causal findings for the current theories in vogue.

This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

THE undersigned, a Committee of the CoRPORATION to prepare and publish a Calendar of Trinity College, Hartferd, for the current year, lmve ananged and put forth the present work; which they trust will in some degree meet the objects of its compilation. The purpose of an annual Calendar of this kind is, to exhibit, at one view, the actual condition of the whole academical Society.

It will be seen, then, that it.. is desirable that a copy should be kept by every member of the College. It is presumed that, in a first issue of this kind, some inaccuracies will be discovered; and, in order that the Calendar of the succeeding year may be more perfect, the Committee would be happy to receive any necessary information, directed to the President.

  • NOTES on the HISTORY of the FEDERAL COURT of CONNECTICUT* by Josk A
    THE FEDERAL COURT OF CONNECTICUT NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF THE FEDERAL COURT OF CONNECTICUT* By Josk A. CABRANES** Chief Judge Feinberg, Judge Oakes, Mr. Fiske, distinguished guests and friends: I am honored and pleased to be here this afternoon. I am especially pleased because I think it is always salutary to remind New York residents, including judges and lawyers, that there is life (and law) on the far side of the Bronx. I say this, if I may indulge in a snippet of autobiography, as one who spent his childhood in that very borough, and his adolescence in furthest Queens, deep in the Eastern District, until I came, in the ripeness of years and by the grace of Kingman Brewster, and Abraham Ribicoff, to New Haven in the District of Connecticut. That being my personal odyssey, I like to look upon it as a progress of sorts. This is the third of our Second Circuit Historical Lectures. The series can now be said to have something of a history of its own. In preparing these remarks on my own court in the District of Connecticut, I have looked to the lectures of Judge Weinfeld and Judge Nickerson in much the same way that one consults the authorities on a given point of law. Now and again, those lectures have provided me with precedent, but (in the fashion of our profession) from time to time I found it appropriate to distin- guish the early cases. For the District of Connecticut is rather different from its southern - and, as we shall see, junior - cousins.

Hancock Professor Mary C. Kelley Associate Professor Mika Lavaque-Manty Assistant Professor Daniel Ramirez © Susanna Christine Linsley 2012 Acknowledgements During one of the more challenging points in the beginning stages of the dissertation project, my advisor, Sue Juster, gave me some advice that I continue to refer to when I find myself in need of guidance. She told me that there was no secret to getting back on track. I just needed to allow myself to take some time and remember why I loved history. This observation was one of the many sage and trenchant insights Sue has offered me throughout graduate school. I cannot thank her enough for providing both such a practical and an inspiring model for scholarship. I have also been fortunate to work with a committee whose brilliance and wisdom is unmatched. Mary Kelley has been a constant source of support throughout my time in Ann Arbor. Her unfailing trust in me and in my project gave me the confidence to push my work in directions I would not have thought possible before I began. David Hancock has always asked good questions, spurring me to think deeply both about context and about broader sets of connections. His own rigorous scholarship and teaching have served as great examples to me.

  • Protestant Episcopal Diocese of SC, 273.00
    Records of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of South Carolina, 1706-1972 SCHS# 273.00 Creator: Episcopal Church, Diocese of South Carolina. Description: 13.25 linear ft. Historical Note: The Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of South Carolina was created in 1785 to continue the work of the churches established under the Church of England during the colonial period. From the lowcountry parishes established in the early 18th century, the diocese expanded westwardly throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In 1922 it was divided geographically into two parts: the Diocese of South Carolina, encompassing the older parishes of the coastal region, and the Diocese of Upper South Carolina, which includes churches to the west of Columbia, its see city. Scope and Content: Records are divided into three categories: primary records of diocesan- level administrative bodies and activities; primary records of organizations, churches, and individuals associated with the Diocese of South Carolina; and subject files on individuals, churches, organizations, and institutions within the Diocese. The present collection contains a limited amount of materials relating to the Diocese of Upper South Carolina. Primary records of diocesan-level administrative bodies and activities include records of the Board of Missions (1877-1952), Board of Trustees (1880-1970), Consecration Committee (1960-1961), Division Committee (1920), Executive Council (1922-1941), and the Standing Committee (1892-1935), and the manuscript journals of the annual diocesan conventions (1785- 1892). These materials consist primarily of correspondence, minutes, financial records, and reports. In addition, the records of the diocesan Historiographers (1878-1962), primarily John Kershaw (d.
