His long connection with the University and his continued interest in its welfare will make his withdrawal from immediate connection with it seem a personal loss to every one.

As pastor of a church in Roxbury, he came in contact with the working classes, and devoted himself actively to bettering their condition. After some time he went abroad, and studied ethics and political economy for several years. On his return he accepted a call from a church in Brockton, where he is now settled. A large number of shoe factories are situated in Brockton, and the population...
