Description
Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. 544 p. Ills. Cyrus Hamlin was the founder of the Robert College in Istanbul (Constantinople) and a Congational minister who signed on as a missionary and went to Turkey in 1839. Later, he founded a college in 1860 in Istanbul. When he finally returned to the U.S. he held several academic jobs, but his significant decision to admit women to Middlebury College in Vermont, in the 1880's was a choice which paid off for the school later. Against the Devil's current: The life and times of Cyrus Hamlin.
