Treasurer of Dartmouth College from 1826-1830. Possibly Professor "Chamberlain, William, 1797-1830", whom Edward Mitchell boarded with while at Dartmouth. Chamberlain, known for moderate antislavery views and speeches, died young at age 32. At a 4th of July celebration in 1826, Chamberlain declared, "We must root out from among ourselves the institution of domestic slavery, or, before the close of another half century, we may have to abide the consequences of a servile war."
