He graduated from Harvard University in 1851.[2] From 1885 to 1898 he served as a trustee and later as president of the Board of Trustees of Phillips Exeter Academy; Dunbar Hall, a dormitory on that school's campus, was named after him in 1901, as was its replacement after it was destroyed by fire in 1907.[3]
