and the same year was elected to the professor- 

 ship of the Greek and Latin languages in that 

 institution. He continued in this position un- 

 til December, 1855, when he was elected to 

 succeed Dr. Worthington Smith, as president. 

 Late in the period of his professorship he was 

 licensed to preach the Gospel, by the Winooski 

 Association. Though he had not made the- 

 ology a systematic study, yet he was urged to 

 this step by his friends, who knew his rare 

 ability as a writer and speaker, and his eminent 

 qualifications, spiritual and intellectual, for 

 usefulness in the pulpit. At the commence- 

 ment, in 1856, he was inaugurated as presi- 

 dent of the University, and a few weeks later 

 received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from 

 Middlebury College, Vt. During his pres- 

 idency he received various marks of apprecia- 

 tion and regard, among which were his ap- 

 pointment as a member of the Vermont Board 

 of Education, at its organization in 1856, and 

 his election to the presidency of the Vermont 

 Teachers' Association the same year, both of 

 which offices he held until he left the State, 

 and by hjs activity and usefulness in these 

 positions had a leading part in shaping the 

 present highly successful educational policy of 

 that State. In November, 1861, he received a 

 call to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian 

 church in Rochester, New York, which, in 

 consideration of the demands of his health, and 

 the claims of his family, he deemed it his duty 

 to accept. He entered upon his ministry in 

 Rochester in January, 1862, and in May was 

 installed as pastor of the church. The period 

 of his ministry here, though short, was emi- 

 nently successful and happy, embracing the 

 most interesting portion of his life. Within 

 these few months he did his greatest and best 

 work, for which all his previous life, labor 

 and experience were but the preparation, and 

 it was their fitting crown and reward. During 

 the last year of his life he was elected a mem- 

 ber of the American Philosophical Society of 

 Philadelphia. Dr. Pease left many valuable 

 manuscripts and sermons, but published only a 

 few. His earliest published work was a "Dis- 

 course on the Import and Value of the Popular 

 Lecturing of the Day," delivered before the 

 literary societies of the University of Vermont 

 (1842). Subsequently he published in the Bjb- 

 liotheca Sacra "Classical Studies" (July, 1852); 

 "The Distinctive Idea of Preaching" (1853); 

 " Characteristics of the Eloquence of the Pul- 

 pit," delivered as an address before the Rhe- 

 torical Society of Auburn Theological Seminary 

 (1838) ; " The Idea of the New England Col- 

 lege and its Power of Culture," delivered at 

 his inauguration as president of the University 

 (1856); Address before the Medical Depart- 

 ment of the University (1856); Baccalaureate 

 Sermons, 1856, 1867, 1859, 1860 ; and a num- 

 ber of occasional sermons.
