Joseph Emerson (1777 - 1833) educator, minister, and author, ".A Congregational minister and a Freemason, Emerson believed that knowledge should be guided by Christian morality. He required that his students refrain from studies on Sunday, a day to be given to church attendance, prayer, and the reading of Scripture.
