Description: So Much To Learn The History of Northfield Mount Hermon School for the One Hundredth Anniversary 1980 By Burnham Carter Copyright 1976 - Northfield Mount Hermon School (USA). Northfield Mount Hermon School was founded by Protestant evangelist Dwight Lyman Moody as the Northfield Seminary for Young Ladies in 1879 (later called the Northfield School for Girls) and the Mount Hermon School for Boys in 1881. Moody built the girls' school in Northfield, Massachusetts, the town of his birth, and the boys' school a few miles away in the town of Gill. Both were "opportunity" schools created for the deserving poor who had no other means to acquire an education. From their beginnings, both schools attracted highly diverse students. Moody's goal was to provide the best possible education for young people without privilege, and he enrolled students whose parents were slaves as well as Native Americans and people from other countries, which was unprecedented among elite private schools at that time. This book details the history and legacy of these schools and includes many black and white photographs throughout. It is in Like New condition! Please reach out for any additional information.
