  • Title: Missions and medicine at Amherst: family ties to Edward Hitchcock jr, the missionary movement, and the American University of Beirut.
    Author: Dorman JM.
    Journal: J Am Coll Health; 2011; 59(6):489-92. PubMed ID: 21660803.
    Abstract:
    The Haystack Movement began at Williams College in 1805, occasioning the spread of American missions throughout the world. A half century later, two graduates of nearby Amherst College, Edward Hitchcock Jr and Daniel Bliss, laid the foundations for college health services in this country and for mission work and education in the Middle East. The influences of these two 19th century Amherst alumni are still felt today in our college health services and at the American University of Beirut.
