Excerpt from Hosea Ballou, 2d, D.D., First President of Tufts College: His Origin, Life, and Letters Estimates of Dr. Ballou's character, ability, and work; and the popular demand for such rare wit as was his, it has long been felt should prompt a competent hand to write, in permanent form, the story of his life. Such a hand would have been Thomas Starr King's, or Edwin H. Chapin's, but both are vanished, and a memoir planned thirty years ago - to the deep regret of many was never written.
