Excerpt from Autobiography of Erastus O. Haven, D.D., LL. D: One of the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church So penciled Bfihop Haven on a scrap of waste paper, possibly upon his knee, at some odd moment when, m a reflective mood, he was accounting to himself as well as to others for giving his life its present form. The editor has aimed to complete the projected plan, permitting the author to speak when that was possible, sometimes from his Jour nal, at others through his correspondence, and then through his friends; and speaking himself only when that was necessary to fill the outlines and complete the p1cture that is all. The small service has been a labor of love; and the re ward, and none could be higher, the consciousness of hav ing grown wiser and better in fellowship with the thoughts and spirit of a great and good man, and the hope of profit ing others in the same way.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. 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.

Erastus Haven was born on November 1, 1820, in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. His father was Jotham Haven, a Methodist local preacher and a descendant of Richard Haven who emigrated from England to Lynn, Massachusetts, in 1644, his mother was Betsy Spear.
Erastus graduated from Wesleyan University with honors in 1842.
In 1842 Erastus Haven joined the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1843, while teaching at Sudbury, Massachusetts, where he had started a private academy, he began to preach, though he did not join the New York Methodist Conference until 1848. Meanwhile he taught for a time in Amenia Seminary, of which he was principal in 1846-1848. For five years thereafter he was pastor of Methodist churches in and near New York City, until in 1853 he was called to the chair of Latin in the University of Michigan. The following year he became professor of history and English literature, serving for two years. At this time he advocated the opening of the institution to women.
From 1856 to 1863 Haven was editor of Zion’s Herald, the Boston Methodist weekly, which he piloted with steady hand through the anti-slavery storms that preceded the Civil War. Though not an abolitionist, he demanded the exclusion of slave-holders from church-membership. Temperance reform he warmly supported.
Haven served on the state Board of Education and was twice a member of the Senate, in which capacity he framed the law which established the Massachusetts Agricultural College and greatly strengthened the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He also represented the state on the Board of Overseers of Harvard College. In 1863, he was recalled to Ann Arbor as professor of rhetoric and English literature and president of the University of Michigan. He found the school greatly agitated over the removal of President Henry Philip Tappan, but his moderation, self-control, and understanding restored peace and order. It was he who conceived the plan of annual legislative appropriations for the support of the University, and he had the satisfaction of seeing it provided for by law in 1867, ensuring the permanent support of the institution, hitherto precarious. All state universities have profited by this act.
In 1869 Haven accepted the presidency of Northwestern University, a struggling young Methodist institution near Chicago. Here his constructive plans for the development of Professional schools were interrupted by the Chicago fire (1871), and in 1872 he resigned to become corresponding secretary of the newly organized Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, an administrative and advisory position for which his wide educational experience had given him extraordinary qualifications. He was at the same time chancellor of Syracuse University (1874 - 1880), then in its formative stages. Here again, his prestige, his wisdorn, his conciliatory spirit, and his courage, saved an imperiled institution. In 1878 he bore meetings to the Methodists of Great Britain, where he secured Wesleyan cooperation in the Ecumenical Methodist Conference.
Becoming bishop in May 1880, Haven went to reside in San Francisco, California. Sedentary life had unfitted him for the long journeys and arduous labors of a Methodist general superintendent, and he succumbed in less than a year, dying at Salem, Oregon, whither he had gone to preside at a conference.
Haven was a polished writer and speaker; he had marked intellectual and organizing gifts. In the Methodist Episcopal General Conference of 1860 he exerted himself to secure the exclusion of slave-owners from the church, and in 1868 he was chairman of the committee which framed the provision admitting laymen to membership in the General Conference. His books and pamphlets include: The Young Man Advised (1855); Universities in America (1863); Lincoln, Memorial Address (1865); The Legal Profession in America (1866); The Pillars of Truth (1866); The Medical Profession (1869); Rhetoric (1869); The National Handbook of American Progress (1876). He also prepared an autobiography which was published after his death.
