''Oberlin: The Colony And The College, 1833-1883'' is a historical book written by James Harris Fairchild and published in 1883. The book provides a detailed account of the founding and early years of Oberlin College, a liberal arts college in Ohio, USA, and the surrounding community known as the Oberlin Colony. The book covers the period from 1833, when the college and colony were established, to 1883, when the book was published. Fairchild discusses the origins of the college and colony, which were founded by a group of Christian abolitionists who sought to create a community that was committed to social justice and equality. The book describes the early years of the college, including its struggles to survive financially and its commitment to admitting both men and women, as well as African American and Native American students.Fairchild also provides a detailed account of the Oberlin Colony, which was founded alongside the college and was intended to be a model community based on Christian principles. The book describes the daily life of the colonists, their social and economic structures, and their relationship with the college.Overall, ''Oberlin: The Colony And The College, 1833-1883'' is an important historical document that sheds light on the early years of one of America’s most influential liberal arts colleges and the community that surrounded it. The book provides valuable insights into the social, political, and religious movements of the time and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American higher education and social justice movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
