Introduction

The records were apparently deposited ca. 1965 by the Division of Christian Education of the Board of the Homeland Ministries of the United Church of Christ, formerly the Congregational Board of Homeland Missions (1).

The American Education Society (AES), Congregational Education Society (CES) and Society for the Promotion of Theological Education in the West (SPCTEW) records were intermingled when processing began in the summer of 1996. The area with the American Education Society records contained approximately 1 linear ft. of SPCTEW records; these records were in boxes labeled miscellaneous and clearly had no relationship to the AES materials and were turned over the SPCTEW processor. During AES processing, record books were covered with Mylar book jackets, letters were unfolded, lightly cleaned and refoldered.

An attempt to arrange the AES records appears to have been made in the late 1960s. A dissertation, Raising a Learned Ministry: American Education Society 1815 - 1860 (series X, folder 6) by Natalie Ann Naylor was completed in 1971; the author notes that David Allmendinger, Jr., one of the first researchers to use the records for research, arranged beneficiary letters in 24 folders (series X, folder 6, pp. 388, 395). The records were probably boxed in the late 1960s to further research; it appears as if the partial processing preserved the original packets and labels from the original order. See series X, folder 6, pp. 386 - 391 for a historiography of the American Education Society.

See series X, folder 6, pp. 391 - 393 for a list of printed sources and records relating to the American Education Society; this list notes that Union Theological Seminary, New York, New York has the majority of the published records of the American Education Society. As always, researchers should check the Congregational Library card catalog for printed material relating to these records and affiliated individuals. The Congregational Library and Yale University's Sterling Library have extensive holdings of American Education Society publications (series X, folder 6, p. 394).

Yale University's Edward A. Park Papers include a "penultimate handwritten draft of the original constitution with corrections; records of votes in the early years; committee reports on proposed changes in the constitution; and correspondence to Eliphalet Pearson, Joshua Bates, and other directors of the society" (series X, folder 6, p. 397). Parks was professor at Andover Seminary from 1836 - 1881; Yale University also holds the papers of other individuals associated with the American Education Society, including Samuel Farrar, Jedediah Morse, Elias Cornelius, Benjamin Wisner, B. B. Edwards, William Cogswell and Increase N. Tarbox. Amherst College archives holds records for beneficiaries and correspondence from the American Education Society; Dartmouth College archives includes correspondence from William Cogswell, 1836 - 1837 and replies to his printed requests for information on statistics and revivals for the Quarterly Register. The Presbyterian Historical Society, Philadelphia, Pa. holds the records for the Presbyterian Education Society (series X, folder 9, pp. 397 - 398). See the collection folder for copies of catalog cards for records housed at the Presbyterian Historical Society.

Historical Note

Organized in Boston in 1815, the American Society for Educating Pious Youth for the Gospel Ministry was established for the "purpose of aiding indigent young men of talents and hopeful piety in acquiring a learned and competent education for the gospel ministry." (RG 755, charter and historical notes, 1909).

There is some evidence that the inspiration for the American Society for the Education of Pious Youth for the Gospel Ministry was the result of a female prayer circle in March, 1815 (2). The original group of eight men originally gathered to assist one student; upon further discussion, a public meeting of clergymen and parishioners was called July 20, 1815. The original meeting was held in the study of Joshua Huntington, pastor of the Old South Church, Boston, Massachusetts from 1811 - 1819 and president of the Boston Society for the Moral and Religious Instruction of the Poor (RG 1031); the public meeting of thirty men was held at Park Street Church (RG 1284). Eliphalet Pearson, formerly a professor in Hebrew and Oriental Languages at Harvard College and Andover Seminary, presided and Jedediah Morse, affiliated with the Panopolist and the Yale Education Society, opened the meeting. (series X, folder 6, p. 37 - 38).

A committee of six ministers and four laymen formed to draft a constitution for the next meeting; the subcommittee consisted of Eliphalet Pearson, Ebenezer Porter and Moses Stuart. Each of these men had connections with Andover Theological Seminary, which gave them a background in theological education; each of the men was also a resident of Andover, Mass. (series X, folder 6, pp. 37 - 38. For brief biographies on each of these men, see series X, folder 6, pp. 39 - 40). Biographical notices can be found in the annual reports, usually under the death year.

The formation of this society reflects the 19th - century public concern over the number of "destitute parishes and the shortage of ministers and missionaries" (series X, folder 6, p. 29). Revivals resulted in many " 'hopefully pious' young men who...wished to enter the ministry, but could not afford the necessary education." (series X, folder 6, p. 29). During the second half of the 19th century many local education societies were formed along denominational and geographical lines; some of these societies focused their attention on students at particular institutions. Some of these societies were small and were founded and managed by women: two examples of this are the Corban Society (RG 721) and the Graham Society (RG 722), two Boston female benevolent societies that supported students at Andover Theological Seminary, Andover, Massachusetts (series X, folder 6, p. 29 - 30).

Naylor notes that the society was consciously formed as a national organization: "the penultimate draft of the constitution, which is in Pearson's handwriting, states 'This Society shall be denominated the Massachusetts Society for education pious youth for the gospel ministry'; however, the word 'Massachusetts' is crossed out and the word 'American' written in...the founders had the vision to move beyond parochialism to a national outlook and broad principles, not limiting themselves to Massachusetts to Andover Seminary, or even to Congregationalists" (series X, folder 6, p. 42).

The American Society for the Education of Pious Youth for the Gospel Ministry was incorporated in 1816. The president and vice president were honorary offices "chosen from 'gentlemen of high rank in civil life and of extensive benevolence'" (series X, folder 6, p. 44). William Phillips, Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts and generous benefactor of Andover Seminary, served as president from 1815 until his death in 1827. William Bartlett, a wealthy Newburyport merchant and also a generous benefactor of Andover Seminary, was vice president from 1815 - 1841 " (series X, folder 6, p. 44). William Philips, Samuel Salisbury, Eliphalet Pearson, William Reed, Joshua Bates, Asa Eaton, Samuel H. Walley and Aaron P. Cleveland were listed as signatories on the acts of incorporation (RG 755, charter and historical notes, 1909); see Appendix A for a list of officers, board of directors, executive committee members and financial committee members. In 1820 the name was changed to the American Education Society.

The organization was funded by "subscription, legacy or otherwise" (RG 755, charter and historical notes, 1909); the original charter established that the society may "receive by gift or devise, lands, tenements and real estate of any kind and the same hold in fee simple, or less estate, the annual income and profits whereof shall not exceed the value of ten thousand dollars" (RG 755, charter and historical notes, 1909).

By the early 1820's, the organization aided approximately 200 students annually, primarily in New England. In 1826 Elias Cornelius became secretary; under his leadership and strong fundraising abilities, the organization grew quickly. Under Cornelius, the organization "recruited students, implemented a loan policy, raised endowed scholarships, and established a network of branch societies that included an alliance with the Presbyterian Education Society in New York" (series X, folder 9, abstract); see the 1832 annual report, p. 27 for a biographical profile of Cornelius. By the end of the 1830s, the society assisted over a thousand students a year "one quarter of all seminary students and about 10 percent of all college students" (series X, folder 9, abstract) in the United States; 1835 yielded the maximum income for the society, when $66,589 was collected for current use and $16,472 was collected for the scholarship fund (series VIII, folder 1).

The society funded evangelical Protestants of all denominations who enrolled in study for the ministry; this course of study generally included college education and three years of theological study at a seminary. Although the organization funded Protestants of all denominations, the majority of the aid recipients were Congregationalists or Presbyterians (series X, folder 9, abstract). The 1837 schism in the Presbyterian Church, economic depression, and decline of branch societies and competition amongst benevolent societies caused a sharp decline in income in the 1840s (series X, folder 9, abstract). For a brief history of education societies, see series VIII, folder 1; for a description of the schism in the Presbyterian Church, see Naylor's dissertation (series X, folder 9). A special meeting of the society was called in 1842 to try and find a remedy to the funding issue; the result was a change in the application rules and suspending of aid to academy students. A Plan of Union was held in 1854; see series VIII, folder 1 for a typescript copy of the minutes, with the proposed changes in operation and proposed reorganization.

The Congregational educational activities became increasingly sectarian after 1870, reflecting the increased denominationalism of the late 19th century (3). In 1874 the American Education Society and the Society for the Promotion of Collegiate and Theological Education united under the name of the American College and Education Society. Under Congregational support, the new organization provided financial support to colleges and individual students in need. 1894 the American Education Society absorbed the New West Education Commission and changed its name to the Congregational Education Society; the new organization continued the work of the previous organizations, providing financial support for theological students, private elementary and secondary schools in Utah and New Mexico, and pastors at state - supported universities and colleges.

(2) Naylor notes that a women's group organized "themselves as the 'Education Society of Boston and its Vicinity,' the ladies, several weeks later, brought the subject to the attention of a men's prayer meeting" (series X, folder 6, p. 36). It is possible that many of these women were associated with the Corban Society (RG 721); many of the women involved in the Corban Society were wives of those involved in the American Education Society and the Boston Society for the Moral and Religious Instruction of the Poor (RG 1031).BR> (3) Findlay, p. 450 and series X, folder 9, p. 388.

Scope and Content Note

Series I contains an almost complete run of printed annual reports; the years 1891 - 1894 are missing. The annual reports lists the institutions and individuals supported and institutional and individual contributors. The annual reports also provide an excellent account of the history of the organization and a printed copy of the constitution and organizational rules.

Series II and III are small series, although fairly complete: both series consist primarily of minutes. Note that a manuscript copy of the original constitution and subscriber's names are part of the record book in series II, folder 9. Note that the 1896 minutes to the Committee on Education Institutions is part of the record book in series III, folder 12.

Series IV - A provides a thorough background of the institution's financial history. These record books document the contributions, expenditures and ingoing and outgoing cash flow of AES agents, scholarships, bequests, legacies, auxiliary and branch societies and officer's accounts. The cash account record books (series IV - A, folder 7 - 16) contains a running account of expenses. The back of the financial record books typically contain a list of clothing donations; cash accounts 1827 - 1831 includes donations from various New England female auxiliary education societies, female education societies, the Corban Society (RG 721) and the Young Ladies Society, Princeton. Extra information contained in the financial record books includes pastor names for auxiliary and branch societies, as well as the cities the societies are located in. See Appendix B for an index to the financial records, 1827 - 1853. Note that the financial records, 1855 - 1874 has an index (series IV - A, folder 5); see Appendix C for a list of the accounts contained in the volume.

Finance Committee Minutes, 1830 - 1894 (gaps) (series IV - B) is missing records for the years 1860 - 1891. Financial Statements, 1883 - 1885 (series IV - C) were probably part of the treasurer's report to the Board of Directors and were separated from the report. Since this was not certain, these records were kept as a separate subseries. Vouchers and receipts, 1883 - 1885 were bundled together and were kept as examples of the organization's financial record keeping.

Treasurer's Incoming Correspondence, 1815 - 1894 (series IV - F) is fairly complete and contains correspondence to Aaron P. Cleveland, William Ropes, James M. Gordon and Edward A. Studley; the largest subseries is to Aaron P. Cleveland. Note that the correspondence from the office of the treasurer was often kept by the secretary; also see Secretary's Incoming Correspondence (series V - A) for correspondence to the office of the treasurer and for financially - related correspondence. The bulk of the correspondence to Treasurer James M. Gordon appears to have been kept by the secretary. If a packet was too large for one folder, the same folder label was used, and the folder were numbered consecutively (e.g. Cleveland, Aaron P. Jan. 1826 - Dec. 1826 (1), Cleveland, Aaron P. Jan. 1826 - Dec. 1826 (2), etc.)

Treasurer's Outgoing Correspondence, 1892 - 1894 (series IV - G) is woefully incomplete. These letterpress books also contain some outgoing correspondence for the secretary, John A. Hamilton.

Secretary's Incoming Correspondence, 1819 - 1894 (series V - A) is one of the most extensive series and contains correspondence to Asa Eaton, Elias Cornelius, William Cogswell, Samuel H. Riddel, Increase N. Tarbox, John A. Hamilton and Frank L. Ferguson. If a bundle label existed, the label was placed in quotation marks (e.g., Tarbox, Increase N. 1853 "Jan. 12 - April 13, 1853.") It appears that when an initial attempt at processing was started in the late 1960s, folder labels were transferred from the bundle labels; these labels were retained but were not placed in quotation marks, if the bundle label no longer existed. The folder arrangement appears to be the original order; this arrangement is roughly chronological order through the office of Secretary John A. Hamilton. It appears as if John A. Hamilton used letterfile boxes from 1893 - 1894; during this period correspondence was grouped alphabetically by last name, and sometimes by the name of institution.

As noted above, correspondence from the office of the treasurer was often kept by the secretary, consequently Secretary's Incoming Correspondence (series V - A) also contains correspondence to the office of the treasurer and for financially - related correspondence. To preserve the original order, this system was maintained. If a packet was too large for one folder, the same folder label was used, and the folder were numbered consecutively (e.g. Riddel, Samuel H. Oct. 1847 - Jan. 1848 (1), Oct. 1847 - Jan. 1848 (2), etc.) It appears as if the majority of the secretary's incoming correspondence was maintained by quarter; note that the groupings are typically broken down by the same month.

Secretary's Outgoing Correspondence, 1826 - 1863 (series V - B) is incomplete; it contains some manuscript letterpress books with correspondence from Elias Cornelius, William Cogswell, Samuel H. Riddel and Increase N. Tarbox. Note that some of the volumes contain name indexes; by determining the names affiliated with an institution, researchers may access the files for institutionally - related correspondence.

The series American Education Society Branches (series VI) contains the records for the auxiliary Maine Branch of the American Education Society. See financial records (series IV) for a listing of auxiliary groups contributing to the American Education Society. Meeting minutes, 1818 - 1828 (series VI, folder 1) contains the constitution, minutes (including names of officers and committee members) and a list of members and subscription amounts. Financial records, 1819 - 1834 (series VI, folder 2) includes income from subscribers and lists subscribers. Financial records, 1837 - 1888 (series VI, folder 4) contains incoming and outgoing accounts. The back of the volume contains a list of subscribers. Financial records, 1889 - 1900 (series VI, folder 5) contains a record of the debits for this period. The front of the record book notes the names of the treasurers who kept the volume. See the annual reports for a list of the branches American Society Society.

The Religious Charitable Society in the County of Worcester, records 1812 - 1845 (series VI, folder 6) consists of one record book; it was located with the American Education Society materials. A note in the front of the book reads "Dr. Tarbox says he cannot name any organization for education young men for the university before this. The American Education Society dates 1812." This record book had a book tag similar to the tags labeling the American Education Society material, indicating that it had been in the same box as the Maine Branch of the American Education Society. The record book contains the constitution, minutes of the Board of Directors (including names of the officers and committee members) and disbursements made to individuals.

The series Institutions (series VII) contains correspondence, deeds and legal information for the institutions listed. Records in this series were placed in this series only if they were found loose and separated from the secretary's or treasurer's correspondence: records were not removed from series IV or V to be placed in series VII. It appears that the records in this series were separated out from the other correspondence due to the merger with the Society for the Promotion of Collegiate of Theological Education in the West in 1874 and the merger with the New West Education Commission in 1894. As noted above, the researchers should use the name indexes in the outgoing correspondence letterbooks (series V - B); by determining the names affiliated with an institution, researchers may access the files for institutionally - related correspondence.

The series Historical Material (series VIII) primarily contains reports and records documenting the 1854 and 1873 Plan of Union between the American Education Society and Society for the Promotion of Collegiate and Theological Education in the West. See Congregational Education Society (RG 755), series Historical Material Oversize for photostatic copies of the 1816 act to incorporate the American Society for the Education of Pious Youth for the Gospel Ministry; 1820 act to change the name to the American Education Society; 1872 act to incorporate the Society for the Promotion of Collegiate and Theological Education; 1894 act to change the name to the Congregational Education Society; and the 1907 act to enlarge the powers of the Congregational Education Society records. Note that these documents remain with the Congregational Education Society, since they were requested in 1956 from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as part of the Congregational Education Society records. Also see series X, folder 6 for a manuscript photocopy of Natalie Ann Naylor's dissertation Raising a Learned Ministry: the American Education Society, 1815 - 1860.

See the Container List for a listing of the items in the series Printed Material (series IX) and the series Miscellaneous (series X).
