We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Edmund Burke Fairfield was born at Parkersburg, Virginia (now West Virginia). His father, the Rev. Micaiah Fairfield, was graduated at Middlebury College and Andover Theological Seminary. He went to Virginia and there married Mrs. Hannah (Wynn) Neale, daughter of Capt. Minor Wynn.
Edmund studied at Denison, Marietta, and Oberlin colleges, receiving his Baccalaureate degree at the last-named in 1842. He continued his study at the Oberlin Theological Seminary and graduated there in 1845.
After a short pastorate (1847) in Boston, he became, in 1849, president of Free Baptist College, at Spring Harbor, Michigan. In 1853 this school was moved to Hillsdale, Michigan, and became Hillsdale College. Fairfield retained the presidency until 1869, but during that period also served as state senator ( 1857) and lieutenant-governor of Michigan (1859). About this time he altered his views on baptism, left the Baptist fold and became the pastor of the First Congregational Church at Mansfield, Ohio. Some years later (1875) he was appointed president of the normal school, at Indiana, Pennsylvania. In 1876 he was elected the second chancellor of the University of Nebraska, then in the eighth year of its existence. Here he remained six years, the last portion of his administration being one of the most tempestuous periods in the entire history of the institution. He was a Fundamentalist, vigorously opposed to the teaching of Darwin, which was permeating even the then remote Middle West. On his faculty were three young instructors, George Edward Woodberry, Harrington Emerson, and George E. Church, all intellectually keen and imbued with the newer thought. As a result of their attempt to introduce the modernism of the day into the young university, all of the professors, as well as the chancellor, resigned from the faculty in 1882. Fairfield accepted the pastorate of the Congregational Church at Manistee, Michigan, which he held until 1889 when he was appointed United States consul at Lyons, France, where he remained four years. He returned to settle at Grand Rapids, Michigan, but in 1896 he resumed his former charge at Mansfield, Ohio. In 1900 he retired from active public life, and went to Oberlin, Ohio, where he died.
