They bore the burden. They did the work. They gave the money to begin the work. They poured it out like water when money was scarce, when ten dollars was worth as much as a hundred is now, when it was more difficult to get ten dollars for a college than it is to get a thousand now. None of them was rich. Some of them literally made themselves poor by their liberal giving. " Noah Webster wrote the constitution of the First Church Sundav school and was the chairman of the board of managers. Josep...h Estabrook, the first pro- fessor of Greek and Latin in the College, was the first 47 SAMUEL MINOT JONES superintendent of the first Sunday school in Amherst. Many of the teachers were college students. "Henry Ward Beecher, " Professor Tyler continues, "then a senior in college, was the inspiring teacher of a large class of young men, when I was superintendent. The great revival of 1831, which was equally powerful in the Col- lege and the village, originated in the Sabbath School concert. " "Witness, " says Professor Tyler, "the generous sub- scription to the building and the books of the library of Amherst College which, beginning as such subscriptions usually do, in the First Church and parish of Amherst, extended to the other parishes of this and several neigh- boring towns, gave the College not only a new library building but a new epoch in its general prosperity.
