Excerpt from Memories Here and There of John Williams, D.D., LL. D., Fourth Bishop of Connecticut, Ninth Presiding Bishop 1887-1899 For themselves. His letters would have made possible the larger Biography. Their loss and that deprecation of any biographical enterprise which sometimes led him to cite experiences of public men of an older generation in the propensity of a certain scribe to write them up as having added a new terror to death! Must even in a sketch leave much space to be filled in by inference. But fortunately Bishop Henry Potter in his Reminiscences of Bishops and Archbishops secured for his Article on Bishop Wil liams, data of the period of his Presidency from one who was then an undergraduate of Trinity, the late Rev. Dr. Horace B. Hitchings, selections from which may well constitute some of the memories here and there. With his genial and appreciative pen Dr. Hitchings among other memorabilia tells us of his first meet ing with President Williams when as a freshman a rap came to his door and he thought his time had come for Sophomore exploitation he opened it to find none other than Dr. Williams to give him a kindly greeting and relieve his loneliness. Those kind words warmed my heart and filled me with a love that made college life a delight and has caused it ever Since to be a memory most sweet to look upon. Then he says truly: The President never forgot that he once had been a boy. That, I believe, was the secret of his successful management of the college; and of his extraordinary inżuence over young men, even in his advancing years. The following out of several undergraduate episodes given by Dr. Hitchings is illustrative of the kind of President he was.
