PARADISE FOUND: RELIGIOSITY AND REFORM IN OBERLIN, OHIO, 1833-1859 A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of the Arts History by Matthew David Hintz May 2012 Accepted by: H. Roger Grant, Committee Chair C. Alan Grubb Orville V. Burton ABSTRACT Founded as a quasi-utopian society by New England evangelists, Oberlin became the central hub of extreme social reform in Ohio’s Western Reserve. Scholars have looked at Oberlin from political and cultural perspectives, but have placed little emphasis on religion. That is to say, although religion is a major highlight of secondary scholarship, few have placed the community appropriately in the dynamic of the East and West social reform movement. Historians have often ignored, or glossed over this important element and how it represented the divergence between traditional orthodoxy in New England and Middle-Atlantic states, and the new religious hybrids found in the West.

Avis Senior Assistant Director of Admissions A proud Michigan native, Mackie Avis made his way to Kenyon to ma- jor in history, study Latin and Czech, and spend a semester abroad in Prague. A true scholar-athlete, he was distinguished on the playing field as a member of the men’s lacrosse team, serving as the team’s captain and lead goal scorer. Mackie and his positive experience at the College inspired his younger brother to join him in Gambier. While staff members in the Enrollment Division are always happy to enroll students whose connection to Kenyon is strengthened by a legacy, we were particularly glad to have more members of the Avis family on campus. Over time, Mackie’s incred- ible devotion to family has inspired us, developing in all a particular care for his clan and for our own. As a son, sibling, cousin, and friend, Mackie is loyal, steady, and fun. Of course, all of these traits have served him well in his work on behalf of the College and the students he inspires every day. Reliable Mackie can be counted on to bring diplomacy and a deft touch to his work as an athletics liaison, completing many hundreds of pre-reads each year.
