Fairchild was born in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, on November 25, 1817. His father was Grandison Fairchild.
He graduated in 1838.
When Oberlin opened its doors in 1834, Fairchild entered as a freshman. The year after graduation he was appointed tutor in the college, was ordained in 1841, and in 1842 became professor of Latin and Greek. In 1847, he was transferred to the chair of mathematics, and in 1858 to that of theology and moral philosophy.
A committed abolitionist, Fairchild played a role in the famous Oberlin-Wellington Rescue.
In September 1858, he hid fugitive slave John Price in his home. A short time later, rescuers took Price to freedom in Canada.
In 1866, Fairchild became the third president of Oberlin College. During his tenure, the faculty and physical plant of the college expanded dramatically.
In 1889, he resigned as president but remained as chair of systematic theology.
In 1896, Fairchild returned to the Oberlin leadership as acting President, serving until 1898. Fairchild"s wife, Mary Fletcher Kellogg, was one of the first group of five women to be admitted to a college in the United States. She was the only one who didn"t graduate, as her father"s business failed.
Fairchild wrote a history of Oberlin, which was published in 1883.
He also wrote works on philosophy. A biography of Fairchild, James Harris Fairchild: or Sixty-Eight Years with a Christian College, was written by Albert Temple Swing and published in 1907.
