Chapin, Stephen
educator, clergyman, college president, author, was born Nov. 4, 1778, in Milford, Mass. In 1828 he was called to the presidency of Columbian college, Washington, D. C., an office which he held until 1841, when he retired on account of declining health. A few published sermons, tracts, and essays are all that remain to show his ability and culture. Among these are Letters on the Mode and Subjects of Baptism; and The Duty of Living for the Good of Posterity.
