Excerpt from Essays: Historical Literary, Educational In the vacation following the Commencement of 1817, I went to New Haven to make some arrangements for entering the Theological Seminary at Andover. This was the same year that was darkened by the death of Prest. Timothy Dwight. Accidentally meeting Samuel B. Ingersoll, who had just taken his degree, I was urged by him to give up my purpose of going to Andover and to study theology under Professor Fitch, if he would receive us. I entertained his proposals so far as to consent to an interview with Professor Fitch on the subject. Accordingly we immediately went to see him. He appeared to be very much pleased, and told us he would take the subject into consideration. On our second visit he expressed great readiness to receive us as students, saying that he thought it would be a great advantage to himself, inasmuch as it would necessitate a review of his studies, which would help to qualify him to prepare a course of sermons on doctrinal subjects, as Professor of Divinity in Yale College.
