A Lifetime Dedicated to Robert College
The story of Robert College, told by its founder...
This memoir, written by Cyrus Hamlin, the American missionary who founded Robert College, is a sincere account of his life and experiences. In it, Hamlin recounts his years in Istanbul, where he spent approximately thirty-five years, his struggle to establish and sustain the school, its first students, the reactions he encountered, and the friends and supporters of the college in Europe and America.
More than a personal memoir, this work stands as a historical document in which readers can discover, between the lines, many truths about our own past that still await exploration. In all these respects, it would not be an exaggeration to describe this book as an important contribution to the study of modern Turkish educational history, an essential reference for those interested in foreign schools, and one of the very few standalone works in Turkish that readers from all backgrounds can consult on the history of Robert College.
