==Early life and education ==
Phelps' father Sylvanus Dryden Phelps was a Baptist minister, and the family had deep ancestral roots in Massachusetts Bay Colony.〔Edmund Rice (1638) Association. 2012. Descendants of Edmund Rice (CD-ROM)〕 William, as a child, was a friend of Frank Hubbard, the son of Langdon Hubbard, a lumber merchant who founded Huron City, Michigan. Phelps earned a B.A. in 1887, writing an honors thesis on the ''Idealism of George Berkeley''.〔 He earned his Ph.D.in 1891 from Yale and in the same year his A.M. from Harvard.〔 He taught at Harvard for a year, and then returned to Yale where he was offered a position in the English department. He taught at Yale until his retirement in 1933.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://drs.library.yale.edu:8083/saxon/SaxonServlet?style=http://drs.library.yale.edu:8083/saxon/EAD/yul.ead2002.xhtml.xsl&source=http://drs.library.yale.edu:8083/fedora/get/mssa:ms.0578/EAD&query=dana%20family&filter=&hitPageStart=26 )〕
Phelps was engaged to marry Frank's sister Annabel when Langdon Hubbard died.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wmich.edu/glcms/watertrails/huronpop/huron-540.htm )〕 Annabel inherited the family estate and William christened it "The House of the Seven Gables,” after the Nathanial Hawthorne story of the same name. Her father built the house in 1882 on a bluff overlooking Lake Huron. The couple was married on the estate on December 21, 1892〔 and it became their summer home.
Phelps converted the space in front of the house from a trotting track into a private 18-hole golf course in 1899.〔 and they lived there part-time from 1893 through 1933, when he retired, and full-time through 1938.〔 They had no children.
