See also:STILES, See also:EZRA (1727–1795) , See also:American clergyman and educationalist, seventh See also:president of Yale See also:College, was See also:born on the 29th of See also:November 1727 in See also:North Haven, See also:Connecticut, where his See also:father, See also:Isaac Stiles (d. 1760), was See also:minister of the Congregational See also:- CHURCH

Church. He graduated at Yale in 1746; studied there for the three years following; was licensed to preach in 1749 and was a See also:tutor at Yale in 1749-1755. He preached in 1750 to the See also:Indians at See also:Stockbridge, later studied See also:law, was admitted to the See also:bar in 1753, and practised in New Haven for two years. He was pastor of the Second Congregational Church of See also:Newport, Rhode See also:Island, from 1755 to 1777;iu 1776–1777 he preached occasionally in Dighton, See also:Massachusetts, whither he had removed his See also:family after the See also:British occupation of Newport; and in See also:April 1777 he became pastor of the North Church of See also:Portsmouth, New See also:Hampshire. In 1778 he became president of Yale College and See also:professor of ecclesiastical See also:history there, having insisted that no theological statement be required of him except assent to the See also:Saybrook See also:platform of 1708; in 1780--1782 he was professor of divinity, and he lectured besides on See also:astronomy and See also:philosophy. He died in New Haven on the 12th of May 1795• His See also:wise See also:administration as president made possible the speedy recovery of Yale College after the See also:War of See also:Independence, and his intellectual and theological breadth helped to secularize and strengthen the college. As an undergraduate he became deeply interested in astronomy; he observed the See also:comet of 1759 and the transit of See also:Venus of See also:June 1769, and See also:left a See also:quarto See also:volume of astronomical notes. He experimented successfully with the See also:electrical apparatus presented to Yale by See also:Benjamin See also:Franklin, whose intimate friend he became. He carefully kept thermometric and meteorological See also:statistics; he imported silkworms and books on See also:silk culture; he corresponded with many litteratinotably with Dr Nathaniel See also:Lardner and with See also:Sir See also:- WILLIAM

Jones, of whom he besought See also:information of all kinds, but especially any that would See also:lead to the See also:discovery of the whereabouts of the ten lost tribes; and he undertook the study of See also:Hebrew at the See also:age of See also:forty and became an able See also:scholar. On Franklin's recommendation he was made a See also:doctor of divinity by the university of See also:Edinburgh in 1765; he had received a See also:master's degree at Harvard in 1754. and was made doctor of divinity in 1780 by See also:Dartmouth and in 1784 by the college of New See also:Jersey (now Princeto: University).
with records of her visions, have been published by See also:Brentano STILBITE, a See also:mineral of the zeolite See also:group consisting of at See also:Munich in 1852 and the See also:Abbe See also:Cazales at See also:Paris (187o).
Colombe Schanolt of See also:Bamberg (1787) was fully stigmatized, as also was See also:Rose Serra, a Capuchin of See also:Ozieri in See also:Sardinia (18o1), and Madeleine Lorger (18o6). Two well-known cases occurred in See also:Tirol—one " L'Ecstatica " Maria von Morl of Caidaro, a girl of See also:noble family, stigmatized in 1839, the other " L' Addolorata " Maria See also:Dominica Lazzari, a See also:miller's daughter at Capriana, stigmatized in 1835 (see See also:Bore, See also:Les Stigmatisees du Tyrol, Paris, 1846). A See also:case of the second class is that of See also:Elizabeth Eppinger of Niederbrunn in See also:Bavaria (1814), reported on by See also:Kuhn. An interesting example of stigmatic See also:trance also occurred in the case of a See also:Protestant See also:young woman in See also:Saxony in 1820, who appeared as if dead on See also:Good See also:Friday and Saturday, and revived on See also:Easter See also:Sunday.
The last case recorded is that of See also:Louise Lateau, a See also:peasant girl, at Bois de Haine, Hainault, upon whom the stigmata appeared on the 24th of April 1868. This case was investigated by Professor See also:Lefebvre of See also:Louvain, who for fifteen years was physician to two lunatic asylums. In her there was a periodic bleeding of the stigmata every Friday, and a frequent recurrence of the hystero-cataleptic See also:condition. Her See also:biography has been written by Lefebvre and published at Louvain (187o).
On See also:surveying these ninety cases we may See also:discount a certain number, including all those of the second class, as examples of subjective sensations suggested by the contemplation of the pains of crucifixion. A second set, of which the famous case of Jetzer (Wirz, Helvetische Kirchengeschichte, 181o, iii. 389) is a type, must be also set aside as obvious and intentional frauds produced on victims by designing persons. A third See also:series, and how large a group we have not sufficient See also:evidence to decide, we must regard as due to the irresponsible self-infliction of injuries by persons in the hystero-epileptic condition, those perverted states of See also:nervous See also:action which See also:Charcot has done so much to elucidate. To any experienced in this See also:form of disease, many of the phenomena described in the records of these examples are easily recognizable as characteristic of the hystero-epileptic See also:state.
There are, however, some instances not easily explained, where the self-infliction See also:hypothesis is not quite satisfactory. Parallel cases of See also:physical effects due to See also:mental See also:suggestion are well authenticated. Beaunis vouches for rubefaction and vesication as produced by suggestion in the hypnotic state, and Bourru and Burot describe a case of bloody sweat, and red letters marked on the See also:arm by See also:simple tracing with the See also:finger. See Congres scientijiique de See also:Grenoble, progres medicale (Aug. 29, 18S5), and Berjon's La Grande hysterie chez l'hosnme (Paris, 1886). We know so little of the trophic action of the higher See also:nerve centres that we cannot say how far See also:tissue See also:nutrition can be controlled in spots. That the nerve centres have a See also:direct See also:influence on See also:local nutrition is, in some cases, capable of experimental demonstration, and, in another See also:sphere, a few of the recorded instances of connexion between maternal impression and congenital deformity seem to indicate that this trophic influence may have wider limits and a more specific capacity of localization than at first sight seems possible.
Dr Stiles published several sermons, notably, a Discourse on the See also:Christian See also:Union (1761), which has remarkable ecclesiastical breadth of view; an See also:Account of the See also:Settlement of See also:Bristol, Rhode Island (1785); and a History of Three of the See also:Judges of See also:- KING
