History of Brown University A GENERATION before the establishment of any institu tion of higher education in Rhode Island, Dean (afterwards Bishop) Berkeley, in pursuance of his cherished design of planting a Christian college in America, chose this colony as his place of residence. Here, at Newport, or in its vicinity, he lived for nearly three years, from 1729 to 1731. At the close of this period it became evident that the money which had been voted by the House of Commons would not be paid, and Berkeley reluctantly abandoned his project and returned to England. Though he had no direct relation to the college afterwards established, yet he inspired an interest in higher education among the colonists, and thus made easier the success of the later undertaking. In 1762 the Philadelphia Baptist Association, in view of the disabilities attaching to Baptist students in most of the existing American colleges, welcomed a proposal offered by the Rev. Morgan Edwards, a clergyman of Welsh birth, at that time pastor of the First Baptist Church in Philadelphia, to found in Rhode Island a college that should be under the control of their own denomination. James Manning, who had just been graduated from Princeton, was appointed by the Association as its agent to establish "a seminary of polite literature subject to the government of the Baptists." In deciding upon the location of the new college, a canvass of the colonies had shown the advantages to be clearly on the side of Rhode Island, which recognized absolute religious liberty, and was, moreover, a Baptist colony in origin and popular attachment. There was no rival institution in the field; and the important cities of Newport and Providence, the former being the second city in New England, furnished an encouraging prospect of future support. Accordingly, in 1764, the friends of the movement obtained from the General Assembly the charter which still remains in force. Although, under the rules of the charter, the President and a majority of both the Fellows and the Trustees must be Baptists, the three important positions of Chancellor, Secretary, and Treasurer are without denominational restriction, and all religious tests and sectarian instruction are strictly prohibited.
