Excerpt from Jubilee Essays: A Plea for the Unselfish Life The late gunpowder missionary movements in the United States have been so noisy and interesting that, though ready to fire this Jubilee Salute eighteen months ago, I resolutely spiked my battery. I now clear the vent and let loose these Dogs of War, hoping that Selfishness, the Great Re bellion against God, the curse of the earth, may soon be smashed by thunder all round. Knowing that it will take many campaigns and many volunteers, I dare not longer delay. To make sure of one, here I bolt.

Edward Payson Tenney
Edit ProfileEducation
Edward prepared for college at Pembroke Academy and entered Dartmouth in 1854, remaining one year. In 1858 he graduated from Bangor Theological Seminary.
Career
He made a trip around the Horn to California. Here he remained about a year, doing some editorial work for The Pacific of San Francisco, becoming interested in the College of California, and writing the first of a long series of articles championing the cause of frontier education.
Returning East, he was ordained a Congregational minister at West Concord, N. H. , on October 19, 1859. For some two years he was pastor of a church in the little mining town of Central City, Colo. , near Denver. Thereafter he spent a decade on Cape Ann, Massachusetts, in study, meditation, writing and in correcting the astigmatism and inconsistencies in what he called his "hasty" education.
In 1876 a former pupil of his father's, Prof. E. N. Bartlett, then secretary of the two-year-old Colorado College at Colorado Springs, called Tenney's attention to the precarious condition of that institution. Its assets then consisted of a little frame building, twenty-five preparatory, normal, and special students, and the prayers of pioneers impoverished by the panic of 1873. That same year he assumed the presidency, his salary being provided out of his own private income. His love for the Rocky Mountain region, and his belief in the salutary influence of a college on the frontier were the inspiration of eight years' service in that post. He poured his enthusiasm into a famous booklet, The New West as Related to the Christian College (1878), reprinted in 1880 under the title, Colorado and Homes in the New West. This work extolled Colorado as a refuge for those desiring new health and Colorado College as an American mainstay and buttress on a polyglot frontier. It secured for the institution the support of the American College and Education Society, and it inspired the local sacrifice necessary to raise the $10, 000 which secured the $20, 000 offered tentatively by Eastern friends. This money saved the college.
During Tenney's administration the strengthened faculty gathered together a library of some 6, 000 volumes, and secured the erection of Palmer Hall, the first substantial building on the college campus. His belief in educational institutions as safeguards of American civilization on the Rocky Mountain frontier led him to found academies at Santa Fé, N. Mex. , and at Salt Lake City. Giving up his work in Colorado in 1884, he returned to Massachusetts. During his residence in this state he served churches at Assonet, Burlington, Ayer, Braintree, and Lowell.
Achievements

He is remembered as a clergyman and educator who wrote a number of publications, which include The Silent House (1876); Coronation (1877); Agamenticus (1878); Constance of Acadia (1886); The Triumph of the Cross (1895); Dream of My Youth (1901); Contrasts in Social Progress (1907); Looking Forward into the Past (1910).
