Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Stephen Olin, D.D., LL. D, Vol. 1 of 2: Late President of the Wesleyan University There were, however, periods of his life in which he was deprived, by ill health, of that free and unreserved intercourse with his friends which seemed a necessity of his nature, and for the illustration of these silent periods we are indebted to the recollections of those who were then familiarly associated with him. Many thanks are due to the Rev. Dr. Bates, and to the Rev. Messrs. Jackson and Mallory, for their valuable sketches of his college life.
