Session Title: Edward Austin Sheldon: Missionary Improbable
Presenter: Bob Schell
Room: CC 208
When Sheldon arrived in Oswego in 1848, he planned to open a greenhouse. Sheldon had been attending Hamilton College when he contracted a case of pleurisy which made it difficult for him to engage in public speaking. He had hoped to become a lawyer, a minister, or missionary when breathing problems forced him to reconsider. Since he had grown up disliking school, education was the least likely career choice he could make. Nevertheless, on a spring morning, in a moment of deepest despair, Sheldon turned his life in a different direction and within six months had become both the teacher and a "school man." The purpose of this presentation is to explore Sheldon's background as a deeply religious young man and the impact of his early experiences on his eventual career choice. As his conception of schools and their role in society began to change, Sheldon began to see himself as a missionary; however, he did not dedicate his life to native populations overseas but rather to the poor children who he saw every day on the streets of Oswego. Sheldon accepted a call to become a most "improbable missionary" in his own backyard. Watch
