Synopsis

Excerpt from Historical Discourse: Delivered at the Fiftieth Anniversary of Colby University, August 2d, 1870

Rev. Avery Briggs. But Professor Chaplin, after considera ble hesitancy, accepted his appointment, and appeared at Waterville in the latter part of J une, and took charge of the Theological Department. Indeed, he brought a large part of his school with him. At the time of his election he had charge of the theological students supported by the Massachusetts Baptist Education Society; and it was arranged that they should come with him to Waterville. As the Insti tution had as yet no buildings of its own, his school was opened in the so -ca11ed Wood House, which stood at the intersection of College and Main streets, and in 1850 was enlarged into the Elmwood Hotel, and destroyed by fire in 1864. Professor Chaplin and his school remained at the Wood House till the completion of the old President's House - which occupied the position now occupied by the Memorial Hall at the close of the year 1819 or the begin ning of 1820, and of the South College in 1821. When these buildings were put up the lot was wholly unimproved, and the forest was cut down to make room for them.
