Houco, tho presont position of Dr. Dun- ator in Michigan Univoraity, his deecont from a Now-England College-Prosident, and the spocial character of tha Bocloty, all made it quite appro- priato for bim to deliver THE ANNUAL ADDRESS. In opening, tho speaker uaid that ho should not take up the old, hucknoyed themo of the Puritan character, nor would ho tako s general survey of tho times aud accnes amid which our Now England ancostors lived, but that ho should rathor talte o chapter from out tho lifoof o singlo ono of thowr numbor,—that one to bo the firet Prosident of Iarvard Collego. o sald o shonld make use of it to point out that moat contradictory feature in tho Puritan character, uamely : thoir donial to others of what they claimed for themsolves,—tha liborty to worship God according to the dictatea of their con- sclencos. TRESIDENT DUNSTER was born in England, aud came to Boston in the yoar 1640, Iie was educatod ot Magdalon Col- loge, Cambridge, whonco ho was groduated an A.B. in 1630, aud ap A, M. in 1634. This uni- versity had, froni an early period, & reputation for liverality of opinion far boyond that of her anciout rival at Oxford; and it'is not at ajt eur- prising that so many of hor graduntes wero 1ound among the early eottlors of Now England. Among Presidout Dunstur's contomporaries ot Cambridge wore Joremy Toylor, Joha Milton, Ralph Cadworth, John Pearson, John Ilarvard, and others who bocame subsequently more or less diatinguishied. e was trainod for tho miu- istry, but it is quostionablo whethor ho evor took orders or not. Aftor a fow vearsspent iu toaching, he immigrated to this country, appareutly wit| 1o sottled purpose. Ho was a man of retiring diaposition, and, although holding to the most pasitive convictions of duty. he was by naturo opposed to controversy and etrife, 50 wo may with proprioty sssume that ho was influenced in bis movements by & deniro to avosd taking an ac- tive part fu {ho nugry scenes just then com- meneing in the establishment of the Drotecto- rate of Cromwoll, aud the cxocution of King Clarles and ¢omo of his Ministors, Dr. Duuster then briolly cuuwerated tho cir- camstances which surroundea lis sncestor at tho timo of his arrival in tLis conutry, and ro- forred to the proat miuds which mot him in daily sssaciation, for tho purogso of sliowing tho pecutior charactor of thio fleld in which ho was placed to work. Hia reputation, said tho spoaker, a8a ripo scholar, had evidently pre- codod bim ; for, almout immediately npon hia acrival, Lo wag called by the olders, ministers, and inagistraton, almost by acclamation, to ro- move to Cambridge, and assumo tho FRESIDENCY OF THL COLLEGE, — awork which proved to bo his groat dife-occu- pation, Iig filuess for tho position was fully attentod by the statoments of important writers, Hoou sfter removiug to Cumbridge, o unitod with the churcl thoro on profession of faith ; and thore uro many roforencod to his supplyivg the {mlplm i Cawbridge aud the vicinity t{urlug 1us Drosidoucy.

Soma taonths subsoquently, Mr. Dunater was indioted by the Grand Jury *‘for disturbance of tho ordinances of Christ upon the Lord's day ™ was tried, convicted, snd yontenced, accordivg to tho ccclesinstical law, **10 bo publicly adinonisbed snd givo bail for his good behavior.” A pecond time, also, some two yoars lator, a child having mosantime boou born to him, ke was again ju- dictod by the Graud Jury, and tried by tho County Court,—tho presentmaont hoing now **for not bringivg Lis child w the holy ordi- oanco of baptww” o was again conviated, and punisbhod as beforo. “The Iattor part of bia lifo was spent at Plym- out; but, by lits request, at bls death his body was interrod at Camuvridge ; and it iu & striking ovidenco ot the cliaraotor of tho man that ho made apocial legacles to poraons who had been dueing iy iifo his most unrelenting pervocutors.
