Andrews, Elisha, a Baptist minister, was born at Middletown, Conn., Sept. 29, 1768. He was con- verted at an early age, and soon resolved to become a Baptist minister. His opportunities of education were limited, but he made the most of them, and was occu- pied as a teacher and survej'or, with occasional at- tempts at preaching, until he was ordained as pastor in Fairfax, Vt., in 1793. He labored successively in Hopkinton, N. H. ; Nottingham West (now Hudson), in the same state ; Templeton, Mass., in which region he is still remembered as the " apostle of the Baptists ;" Hinsdale, N. H. ; the region west of Lake Champlain ; Princeton ; Leominster ; South Gardiner and Royal- ston. Amid all his labors, his desire for study was irrepressible, and he mastered Greek, Hebrew, and German. In January, 1833, he had an attack of pa- ralysis, and a second in 1834, which disabled him al- most wholly. He died Feb. 3, 1840. Mr. Andrews published several essays, tracts, and sermons; also The Moral Tendencies of Universalism (18mo) ; Review of Winchester on universal Restoration ,• I indication of the Baptists (12mo). — Sprague, Annals, vi, 268.

He died in 1747. — Sprague, Annals, iii, 10.
Andrews, Lorin, LL.D., president of Kenyon College, Ohio, was born in Ashland Co., Ohio, April 1, 1819. He was educated at Kenyon College. On leaving college, lie became a teacher, and was engaged in various educational positions of importance until 1854, when he was elected president of Kenyon Col- lege. The college was then at its lowest ebb. There were scarcely thirty students, and but a remnant of a faculty. Yet in six years of his administration the number of students grew to 250, the faculty was en- larged, and new buildings added. When the war of the Rebellion broke out in 1861, " President Andrews felt it to lie Ins duty to come forward with all his en- ergies and influence in support of the government. He raised a company at Knox County, of winch he
was made captain ; and afterward was elected colonel of the 4th Ohio Regiment. His first post was at Camp Dennison, from whence he was ordered with his regi- ment to Virginia. After fatiguing service on the field, he was stationed at Oakland, where he remained on duty until the end of August. But the great ex- posure to which he was subjected, wore so much on his health that he was prostrated with camp fever. He was ordered at once to proceed home, and arrived there only to be placed on the bed from which he never rose. He died at Gambier, September 18, 1861. A large part of his activity had been devoted to the com- mon school system of Ohio ; and its present excellence is largely due to his labors. Eminent as a teacher, orator, and college officer, he crowned the glory of an I active and faithful life by a patriotic and glorious death J for his country." — Episcopal Recorder, Nov. 28, 1861.
Andrew's, St., See and University of, county of Fife, Scotland. The legendary story is that " Reg- ulus, a Greek monk of Patrse, in Achaia, warned by a vision, carried with him in a ship the relics of St. I Andrew. After long storms the ship was wrecked near the place where the city of St. Andrew's now stands; Regulus and his company escaped, and brought the relics safe to shore. This was in the time of Her- : gustus, king of the Picts (about the year 370), who | erected a church there, afterward called the church of I St. Regulus, or St. Rule's church, the ruins of which still remain. Kenneth, 3d king of the Scots (f 994), transferred the see of Abernethy to this city, and or- j dered it to be called the church of St. Andrew, and the bishop thereof was styded Maximus Scotorum Episco- pus." The present incumbent of " St. Andrew's, Dun- keld, and Dumblane," is Charles "Wordsworth, D.D., consecrated in 1852. The University, the oldest in Scotland, was founded bj' Bishop Wardlaw in 1 110. It i consists of the United College of St. Salvador, founded by Bishop Kennedy in 1450, and St. Leonard, founded in 1512 ; and St. Mary's College, founded by Beaton ' in 1537. The education in the latter is exclusively theological. The number of chairs in the colleges which constitute the university is 14, and the attend- ance of late years has been rather less than 200. Here, | in the centre of the papal jurisdiction in Scotland, the Reformation first made its appearance ; Scotland's proto-martyr, Patrick Hamilton, suffered here in 1527, and George Wishart in 1546, and here John Knox first opened his lips as a preacher of the Reformed faith. — Chambers, Encyclopaedia; Landon, Eccl.
