- Abstract
- F-5 1829, Dec. 14 Letter to E. R. from Moses Stuart in Andover. Communicates news of the faculty. Dr. Wisner declined the new professorship when the Board of Visitors dropped "Pastoral Theology" from the title, which now reads Prof. of Eccl. History. Trustees appointed Rev. Ralph Emerson of Norfolk, Ct to that position. Dr. Porter is very ill and is on leave, and Mr. Stowe is Stuart's assistant. Farrar is pursuing plans to design a position specifically for E. R. and has even reserved the house of a former colleague for E. R. and his family. Apparently the trustees are reluctant to appoint someone to a professorship who is not already "a Pastor,"and that may explain why E. R. was not selected. Stuart discusses his publications, comments on books received from E. R., and lists other titles needed for the library.
