	YAM March 2001 - Quarrels with Providence
		Pierson had anticipated the questions that I was bound to ask, and he had prepared a brief lecture on the history of Yale, its place in the American scheme of things, the continuity of its long-abiding purpose, its recent loss of confidence, and the odds (heavy and unfavorable) against its intellectual rescue.
		Pierson glared at me over his spectacles until he was satisfied that I appreciated the scale of the achievement, especially for so small a school, and then he proceeded to tell me why the same percentages weren't likely to carry forward into the 21st century.
		Pierson smiled and reminded me that he was a historian with a conservative turn of mind, so conservative that in 1967 he had been one of the few members of the Yale faculty to speak against the admission of women students.

	Mr. Philadelphia, A. T. Pierson - The Reformed Reader
		His forefather, Abraham Pierson, a nonconformist clergyman and orator at Trinity College, Cambridge, landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1639, and later spent time as a missionary to the Mohican Indians.
		Pierson was transformed from an earnest Post-Millenialist to a Pre-Millenial watcher for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
		Similarly, A. Pierson's association with D. Moody and his Northfield Conferences were the breeding ground for Pierson's determination to see the world evangelized in his generation―specifically, by the year 1900, as suggested in his article, "Can the World Be Evangelized in Twenty Years?" (1881), and in his best selling book, "The Crisis of Missions" (1886).

		Among the topics investigated are the English ancestry of six American immigrants of the 1600s, with “family inter-relationships provided.” These six individuals are Rev. Abraham Pierson, Bartholomew Pierson, Henry Peirson, John Pearson of Lynn, Stephen Pierson and Thomas Pierson Sr., who variously settled in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
		Although Deacon John Pearson and Samuel Peirson have been investigated, “their English ancestors were not discovered”; however, the results of the research are included in Appendix B. Another major topic addressed is 34 Pearson/Peirson/Pierson coats of arms which are provided for England, Scotland and the Netherlands.
		It has been determined that “the Pierson line descended from Vikings” and the name originated “in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.” Two legends indicate that three of the earliest immigrants (Henry Peirson, Rev. Abraham Pierson and Bartholomew Pierson) arrived in America as passengers on the (2nd) Mayflower.

		Yet it was not until 1701 that the Reverend James Pierpont (1659/60-1714), pastor of the First Church in New Haven, and several other ministers from towns along the Connecticut shore persuaded the Connecticut General Assembly to pass an "Act for Liberty to erect a Collegiate School."
		In November 1701 the trustees of the Collegiate School met in Saybrook, gathered together some forty volumes from their own small libraries, drew up a course of study, designated the Reverend Abraham Pierson (1645-1707) of Killingworth as rector, and chose Saybrook as the site for the College.
		The first students studied in Killingworth, however, because Pierson's congregation refused to release him from his pastoral duties.
