Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox officeholder Heman Humphrey (March 26, 1779 – April 3, 1861) was a 19th-century American author and clergyman who served as a trustee of Williams College and afterward as the second president of Amherst College, a post he held for 22 years.[1][2][3][4]
Early life and education
Humphrey was born in West Simsbury, Hartford County, Connecticut (which became Canton, Connecticut) to farmer Solomon Humphrey, of a family that came from England before 1643, and Hannah, daughter of Captain John Brown.[5]
Humphrey graduated from Yale University with an A.M. in 1805 and was ordained a Congregational minister on March 16, 1807. He became a minister in Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1807, moving to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in 1817. His 1813 report to the Fairfield Association is one of the earliest temperance tracts published in America.[6] Humphrey is also said to have published six articles in The Panoplist and Missionary Magazine on the cause, origin, effects and remedy of intemperance.[7]
Following his tenure at Williams College, in 1825 he was appointed president of Amherst.[8] He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1842.[9] Humphrey was influential in the nineteenth-century temperance movement and typical of the early proponents of prohibition.[10] He was the father of U.S. Representative James Humphrey.
