Woolsey In this sketch of my father's early years, the years preparatory to his life work, I have tried to place together, as far as may be in his own words, the influences, the education, the social and family environment, and particularly the foreign training which bore upon this preparation. npHERE was graduated at Yale College in 1820 at the A head of his class, Theodore Dwight Woolsey.

College training was the custom of the family, for both his grandfather and great-grandfather had been nurtured within the same walls; so that with young Woolsey, a college education did not necessarily imply a clerical profession or the idea of an academic life. He had a plentiful clerical ancestry, however, which may well have influenced his mind. President Dwight was his uncle by marriage; Jonathan Edwards was his greatgrandfather; James Pierpont was also an ancestor, a step further removed; his own paternal great-grandfather was a clergyman on Long Island, continuing to preach after he had retired from a charge to his own estate.
