with post-graduate or professional study. Just as 



the "Jukes" have intensified their degeneracy by 

 neglect, the Edwards family has magnified capacity 

 and character by industry and education. 



Among the 285 college graduates of the Edwards 

 family there are thirteen presidents of colleges and 

 other higher institutions of learning, sixty-five pro- 

 fessors of colleges, and many principals of impor- 

 tant academies and seminaries. Forty-five Ameri- 

 can and foreign colleges and universities have this 

 family among the alumni. From this family have 

 come presidents for Yale, Princeton, Union, Hamil- 

 ton, Amherst, the University of California, the Uni- 

 versity of Tennessee, the famous Litchfield (Conn.) 

 law school, the Columbia law school, and Andover 

 Theological Seminary. Among these are such men 

 as President Timothy Dwight, Yale, 1794-1817; 

 Theodore Dwight Woolsey, Yale, 1846-71 ; Timothy 

 Dwight, Yale, 1886-97; Jonathan Edwards (Jr.), 

 Union, 1799-1801; Daniel C. Gilman, Johns Hop- 

 kins; Merrill E. Gates, Amherst; and Edwards A. 

 Park, Andover.
