Tupper, Henry Marty, educator, born in Monson, Mass., in 1831; died in Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 11, 1893. He was graduated at Amherst College and at the Newton Theological Seminary; entered the ministry of the Baptist Church in 1862; and soon afterward enlisted as a private in the National army and served till the close of the war. In October, 1865, he went to Raleigh as an agent of the American Baptist Home Missionary Society and with the aid of the colored people there cut the timber and erected a building, which was used as a schoolhouse on week days and as a church on Sundays. Through his efforts Shaw University was chartered in 1866." The work of constructing the brick buildings of what is now one of the largest colleges for colored youth in the world, was immediately begun, with the aid of money subscribed in New York and New England. Under Dr. Tupper's direction the students themselves mainly erected the buildings now constituting the university, and after the institution was well established Dr. Tupper gradually substituted Southern for Northern instructors. His administration as president was successful. At the time of his death the university had mechanical, medical, legal, and theological departments, grounds and buildings valued at about $200,000, and 500 students of both sexes, and had graduated nearly 5,000 teachers, clergymen, and physicians,
