When this preeminent genius is combined with the qualities of probably the greatest moral reformer, and martyr to that mission, who ever existed upon earth, religion can not be said to have made a bad choice in pitching on this man as the ideal representative and guide of humanity.”^ Nor are such testimonies exceptional. Un- believers in dogmatic Christianity from widely different standpoints have united in exalting its ethics. When the charge was brought by Christians that the bitter attacks on Christian dogma must issue in the overthrow of Christian morality, it was hotly resisted by scientists and by litera- * An Address delivered in Miller Chapel on September 26, 1918, at the Opening of the One Hundred and Seventh Session of the Seminary. ^ Thornton, Conduct and the Supernatural, p. 3. 2 Three Essays on Religion, p. 253. 2 THE PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL REVIEW teurs like Huxley and Matthew Arnold.

  • Les Amérindiens Domiciliés Et Le Protestantisme Au Xviiie Siècle : Eleazar Wheelock Et Le Dartmouth College
    18 Historical Studies in Education / Revue d’histoire de l’éducation articles / articles Les Amérindiens domiciliés et le protestantisme au XVIIIe siècle : Eleazar Wheelock et le Dartmouth College Jean-Pierre Sawaya RÉSUMÉ Cet article étudie les stratégies élaborées au XVIIIe siècle par Eleazar Wheelock, le président fondateur du Dartmouth College, pour diffuser le protestantisme dans la vallée du Saint- Laurent et la participation des Amérindiens au projet presbytérien dans la province de Québec. En 1772, Wheelock forge une singulière alliance avec des chefs amérindiens pour introduire des missionnaires et des séminaristes dans les communautés autochtones puis recruter des en- fants pour les éduquer et les instruire à Hanover (New Hampshire). Malgré les tentatives du clergé catholique-romain pour contrôler ces échanges, les Iroquois, les Abénaquis et les Hurons collaborent. Les protestants s’installent à Kahnawake et Odanak pour apprendre les langues et les coutumes indiennes, instaurent une école pour y enseigner l’anglais et prêcher l’Évangile et recrutent des enfants pour le premier pensionnat fréquenté par les Amérindiens du Québec, l’école industrielle et résidentielle de la Moor’s Indian Charity School du Dartmouth College. ABStract This article examines the strategies developed by Eleazar Wheelock, the founding president of Dartmouth College, to spread Protestantism in the St. Laurence Valley and secure Aboriginal support for Presbyterianism in Quebec. In 1772, Wheelock forged a unique alliance with Aboriginal leaders that permitted the entry of missionaries and seminarians into their com- munities and the recruitment of children for education and religious instruction in Hanover, New Hampshire. Despite attempts by the Roman Catholic clergy to control these exchanges, the Iroquois, the Abenakis, and the Hurons all collaborated with Wheelock.

    PISANO, ANDREW MICHAEL, Ph.D. “To Speak For Myself”: Eighteenth-Century Writers of Color and the First Great Awakening. (2014) Directed by Dr. Karen Weyler, 197 pp. This dissertation contends that the first religious Great Awakening of the eighteenth century provided colonial American and early Republic writers of color with an ideological catalyst that helped them define themselves and their communities’ sense of pride, purpose, and continuance. My project examines a literate group of South Carolina slaves, free black itinerant preacher John Marrant, and Mohegan minister Samson Occom. By considering how these marginalized writers and revivalists shaped and inspired textual forms of representation, I expand the boundaries of early Black Atlantic literary studies and understandings of Mohegan resistance to colonial religious and cultural surveillance. Highlighting these writers’ adaption of and engagement with the cultural norms and literary genres of the Great Awakening and New Light Stir further nuances our knowledge of how oppressed writers of color asserted themselves as vital, imaginative agents of social justice. “TO SPEAK FOR MYSELF”: EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY WRITERS OF COLOR AND THE FIRST GREAT AWAKENING by Andrew Michael Pisano A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Greensboro 2014 Approved by _______________________________ Committee Chair © 2014 Andrew Michael Pisano To my wife, Kristina Pisano Your continual love, faith, and support saw me through ii APPROVAL PAGE This dissertation has been approved by the following committee of the Faculty of The Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

  • Faith, Reason, and Vocation
    The Conference 2011 Wheelock integrating faith, reason, and vocation Saturday, May 7 Located at Dartmouth College’s Tuck School of Business www.wheelockconference.org 7 May 2011 The Dartmouth Apologia and The Eleazar Wheelock Society present The Wheelock Conference Integrating Faith, Reason, and Vocation Welcome We at the Dartmouth Apologia and the Eleazar Wheelock Society believe that the Christian worldview offers a rational, viable, and liberating foun- dation for integrating faith, learning, and life. In these organizations, we seek to: - elevate reason and academic rigor - stimulate constructive dialogue about faith - encourage ethical development in service and leadership - engage students, faculty, alumni, and community members in a network of mutually beneficial relationships, personal and professional We support students in the exploration of Christian thought, integrating life and learning, ethics and vocation, faith and reason. We develop learn- ing opportunities anchored in scholarly inquiry, historical accuracy, and critical thought. We believe that these opportunities will create an envi- ronment of intellectual curiosity and the authentic pursuit of truth. Stu- dents on the Dartmouth campus are already discovering the implications of the Christian faith on life’s moral, vocational, and civic dimensions. In April 2010, we hosted the inaugural Wheelock Conference, bring- ing together prominent alumni and leading scholars to share how they integrate faith and reason to find meaning and purpose in their voca- tions. For students, the conference introduced a new kind of dialogue, one that engages the heart and mind together. This year, we hope to expand on this beginning by offering new sessions and extended time for networking and interaction, and engaging participants from across the Dartmouth community.

    Reviving Manhood: Algonquian Masculinity and Christianity Following the First Great Awakening in Southern New England ALANNA RICE Queen’s University On what he described as a “stormy and very uncomfortable day” in September of 1772, Mohegan minister Samson Occom stood before a crowd of thousands at the First Congregational Church in New Haven, Connecticut and delivered the execution sermon for Moses Paul, a Wampanoag man slated to be hanged later that day. Preaching on the “wages of sin” and the “gift of God” found in the sixth chapter of the book of Romans, Occom addressed the multicultural flock that had come to witness the hanging as a sinful people before God and as needful of the gift of redemption. Effectively leveling the racial hierarchy and social divisions that marked the colonial world in which he lived, Occom charged that all “impenitent sinners,” whether “rich or poor,” “bond or free,” or “Negroes, Indians, [or] English” all “must go to hell together, for the wages of sin is death.” Refusing to leave the crowd at a place of spiritual despair, Occom went on to offer his listeners, along with the condemned man, the gift of salvation made possible by Jesus Christ, whom the Mohegan minister insisted “has the power to save, and to give life.” Identifying Moses Paul as the “bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh,” Occom not only beseeched the Wampanoag man to make this “the day of salvation” and to “believe in the Lord Jesus Christ,” but he also called on the crowd of witnesses to recognize their own role in bringing Paul to this place of execution.

  • Piety, Politics, and Profit : American Indian Missions in the Colonial
    Piety, politics, and profit : American Indian missions in the colonial colleges by Irvin Lee Wright A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Montana State University © Copyright by Irvin Lee Wright (1985) Abstract: The royal charters which sanctioned the settlement of the American colonies invariably expressed as their primary purpose the propagation of Christianity among the American Indians. Throughout the colonial period, the English viewed education as a primary means to accomplish this pious mission. The purpose of this study was to examine critically the educational Indian missions in the colonial colleges. In doing so, this investigation employed ethnohistorical perspectives and methodology in examining the institutional experiments at Henrico, Virginia, Harvard College, the College of William and Mary, and Dartmouth College, spanning a period from the early seventeenth to the late eighteenth centuries. The study found that, while the colonial educators professed their own piety as if this were their singular motivation, they capitalized on the charitable impulses of the pious English and on the opportunities which the charity presented in furthering other political and economic interests. This investigation also established that mixed motives led to diversions from the purposes for which money had been collected and further that this was a primary cause of the ultimate failure of these/ educational experiments. In revealing that missions in the colonial colleges were not expressions of unblemished piety, this study has confronted the declarations espoused in the early records and much of the later historical literature, thus enhancing the growing body of ethnohistorical scholarship on Indian-white relations during the colonial period, while simultaneously offering a fresh insight into the origins of higher education in America.

The Great Awakening is a revival movement which not only brought quickening the churches but also splitting the churches that was caused by different attitudes towards revival movement. Among the two existing old posts, Harvard, established in 1636 with Puritan ideal, was abandoning orthodox Trinitarianism and embracing Unitarianism; Yale, with its opposition to revivalism, was dismissing those students who welcomed revivalism. Revivalism, the spiritual currents of that times, and its demand of new ministers to spread the fervor of the revivalism prompted those ministers who felt the need of new educational institution overcoming the apathy of the two old posts to found the new schools.

  • On the Hill: a Bicentennial History of Hamilton College by Maurice Isserman, the James L
    On the Hill: A Bicentennial History of Hamilton College By Maurice Isserman, the James L. Ferguson Professor of History Chapter 1 To a traveller passing through the Oriskany Valley in the year 1785, the country presented all the indications of an unbroken wilderness. His path was an Indian trail. If he ascended the hill on the west, he looked down upon a sea of forests undulating over the knolls and slopes which diversify the valley, and up the amphithe- atre of hills which rise on the east and south. Here and there he saw little wreaths of smoke curling up from Indian wigwams, and perhaps through openings in the trees he caught an occasional glimmer of the Oris- kany. Beyond all were the Trenton hills, as blue and serene as now. — AMOS D. GRIDLEY, Class of 1839, History of the Town of Kirkland, New York (1874) In July 1793, the Reverend Samuel Kirkland, a resident of a newly established community in Central New York, attended the ordination of a local Protestant minister. It had been six years since the founding of what was then called Clinton settlement and four years since Kirkland moved into a small log cabin at the base of the hill overlooking Oriskany Creek. For nearly a quarter-century prior to moving to Clinton, he had served as a missionary to the Oneida Indian tribe, whose principal settlement was 15 miles to the west. He found it heartening, he wrote in his journal, that: “this place, which six years ago was in a state of nature, a mere wilderness should so suddenly ap- pear like the garden of Eden, the fields around us whitening for harvest or clad with verdure.
