Author Description

Nineteenth Century Evangelist Dwight Lyman Moody believed that the schools he founded were the best work of his life, closest to his heart. The story of how Northfield Seminary for Young Ladies (1879) and Mount Hermon School for Boys (1881) grew and evolved over time into the current Northfield Mount Hermon brings knowledge and inspiration to theologians, academicians, landscape and building architects, and planners in many fields as well as memories to those who lived and studied on the grounds and in the buildings. Closely documented and liberally illustrated, Lift Thine Eyes: The Landscape, the Buildings, the Heritage of Northfield Mount Hermon School is not to be missed.
