 | | Edwards, Jonathan (1703-1758), third president of Princeton for a brief period in 1758, was born in East Windsor, Connecticut, where his father was pastor. |
 | | Edwards was elected president of Princeton September 29, 1757, five days after the death of his son-in-law, Aaron Burr, Sr., second president of the College. |
 | | But Edwards shrank from taking on ``such a new and great business in the decline of life,'' feeling himself deficient in health, in temperament, and in some branches of learning. |
