He reasons with much force, penetration, and elegance, and frequently embodies all the sublime and luxuriant eloquence of Plato .

His outward appearance is agreeable to all the rest he has a tall figure, a comely aspect, long hair, and a large white beard circumstances which though they may probably be thought trifling and accidental, contribute however to gain him much reverence. There is no uncouthness in his manner, which is grave, but not austere and his approach commands respect without creating awe. Distinguished as he is by the sanctity of his life, he is no less so by his polite and affable address. He points his eloquence against the vices, not the persons of mankind, and without chastising reclaims the wanderer.

Euphrates College Turkish language Turkish F rat Koleji , Armenian language Armenian was a coeducation al high school in Elaz Harput today Elaz , a town in the eastern Turkey , founded and directed by United States American American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions missionaries for mostly the Armenians in Turkey Armenian community in the region. History The American Board of Foreign Missions established 1852 a theological seminary in Harput to educate clergy men for the Armenian Evangelical Church , and expanded it 1859 to American Harput Missionary College . To meet the growing demand for general education in English language, the school s program was extended in 1878, and it was renamed Armenia College . However, after 10 years, the Ottoman Empire Ottoman authorities urged to change the school s name, which became finally Euphrates College . For the building of the college, 140,000 funds were raised from the US Government and 40,000 from the local people in 1875. The facilities at the college consisted of a hospital and an orphanage in addition to a theological seminary and high schools for boys and girls. In 1895, Kurdish people Kurds looted and burned the Armenian villages on the Harput plain, and in the same month the town was attacked and eight of the twelve buildings on the campus were burned down. In 1915 several of the leading Armenian members of the faculty were arrested, tortured, and executed on trumped up charges. The college buildings were then occupied by the Ottoman Military and initially used as training camp, and later as a military hospital. ref Henry H. Riggs, Days of Tragedy in Armenia Personal Experiences in Harpoot, 1915 1917 , 1997, Michigan. ref Euphrates College was officially closed shortly after the founding of the Republic of Turkey and nothing now remains of its buildings.
