for the library, and the library itself greatly enlarged and enriched by some of its most valuable treasures ; Kliode Island Hall erected, a new president's house built, the college campus greatly improved and extended, and the endowment and scholarship and aid funds eidarged. For twenty-eight years and a few months Dr. Wayland was president of Brown University. Weary with tliis long service, and convinced that the prolongation of his life depended on his relaxation from his arduous duties, he resigned his office, Aug. 20, 1855. It was a touching remark which he made to his associate. Prof, (ioddard, when the bell rang for the opening exercises of the new term : "No one can conceive the unspeakable relief and freedom which I feel at this moment to hear that bell ring, and to know, for the first time in' neiirly twenty- nine years, that it calls me to no duty." For less tlian two years he remained in the comparative quiet of his pleasant home, within an easy walk of the college grounds. He was invited to act as pastor of the First Baptist Church in Providence for such time as he might find his strength adequate to perform the duties of the office. With his wonted zeal and earnestness, he entered upon the work early in the spring of 1857, and continued in it a little more than a year, exhibiting, in the course which he pursued both as preacher and pas- tor, an illustration of what was his conception of the duties of an office than which none more honored could a Christian man take upon himself. After retiring from public life, Dr. Wayland passed the few remaining years of his life in Providence, where he died, Sept. 30, 1865.
