IN CLOSING

Source: On This Day In Unitarian Universalist History  by Frank Schulman

August 31st

1740
“John Frederick Oberlin was born.  He was a simple village parson in Alsace, France, who was animated by his belief in universal salvation and, in consequence, belief in the triumph of universal good.  He ran a village school that was noted for it’s nurturing spirit, especially toward girls.  During the French Revolution, the reputation of Oberlin’s personal conduct spared him from anticlerical excess.  Oberlin College in Ohio was named in his honor, although it’s founders never met him personally.

1837
Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson delivered his address “The American Scholar,” often called “America’s intellectual declaration of independence,” to the Phi Beta Kappa Society in Harvard University.

2000
Robert L’Hommedieu Miller, a Universalist religious educator, died at age 77.”
