ANGELL, James Burrill, educator, born in Scituate, Rhode Island, 7 January 1829. He was graduated at Brown University in 1849, and spent some time in Europe studying and traveling. On his return in 1853 he was appointed professor of modern languages and literature in the University at which he was graduated. In 1860 he succeeded the recently elected senator, Henry born Anthony, as editor of the Providence "Daily Journal," which place he occupied until 1866, when he was called to the presidency of the University of Vermont. In 1871 he became president of the University of Michigan, an office he has since continued to fill except during the years 1880-'81, which he spent in China as minister from the United States, and also as chairman of a special commission appointed to negotiate a treaty with China. This commission procured a treaty in commercial matters, and also one on Chinese immigration. He has contributed many articles to periodical literature.
