HISTORY

Conway Hall is named for Moncure Daniel Conway (March 17, 1832 - November 15, 1907) who was a clergyman, abolitionist, scholar, and author. He was best known for his outspoken opposition to slavery in the decade prior to and during the Civil War, his free thinking ministry to South Place Chapel in London, and his biography of Thomas Paine. In 1847, at the age of fifteen, Conway left home to enter 红杏直播app and earned an M.A. degree two years later. While there he discovered the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and developed an interest in Transcendentalism.
