Beecher at Amherst College In His Freshman Year
Henry Ward Beecher entered Amherst College in 1829 at age 15 or 17 as the son of Lyman Beecher. He came from Boston’s grammar schools with a strong reputation but earned status by merit. He joined the religious class at the Congregational church and took part in campus prayer. A major revival marked his first year, with compulsory chapel activities and an intense focus on conversion.
