	George Ripley
		Ripley prepared for the ministry at the Cambridge divinity school; in 1826 accepted a call to be pastor and preacher of the church, organized but eighteen months before, and within two months worshipping in their new meeting-house on Purchase street, Boston.
		Ripley associated himself at once with people of no worldly consideration, avowed principles that were voted vulgar in refined circles, and identified himself with an enterprise which the amiable called visionary, and the unamiable wild and revolutionary.
		Ripley, the Managing Editor, supervised the whole; wrote much himself on the different aspects of Association; reported the progress of the cause at home and abroad; answered the objections that were current in the popular prejudice, and gave to the paper the encouraging tone of his cheery, earnest spirit.

	George Ripley
		George Ripley (October 3, 1802-July 4, 1880), minister of the Purchase Street Church in Boston, 1826-41, was a central figure in the Transcendentalist movement of the 1830s and 40s, a founder in 1841 of the Brook Farm commune, and later one of America's most prominent literary reviewers and critics.
		As Ripley's description indicates, the underlying assumption of the experiment, and of Fourierist philosophy, was that work necessary to support a community could be distributed in such a way as to match people's tasks with their individual desires and ability to do them.
		Ripley wrote extensively for the Christian Examiner during his Purchase Street Church ministry, and many of his essays there, especially "Schleiermacher as a Theologian," Christian Examiner 20 (1836); and "Martineau's Rationale of Religious Inquiry," Christian Examiner 21 (1836); were influential in the emergence of the Transcendentalist movement.

		In 1841, George and Sophia Ripley established Brook Farm, an agrarian commune dedicated to the blending of intellectual and physical labor, and the construction of a cooperative economic structure for its members.

		Ripley wanted Emerson to be part of this experiment, and Emerson had seen plans for the community develop at meetings of the Transcendental Club and in talks and correspondence with Ripley.

		Channing wanted Ripley to bring together a group of like-minded people, to found a community where labor would be, in Emerson’s words, “honored and united with the free development of the intellect and the heart.” Such a “noble experiment,” they agreed, might eventually lead to the betterment of mankind.

		He proposed to raise the sum by forming a joint stock company: each subscriber to be guaranteed a fixed interest, and the subscriptions were to be backed by the estate.
		In 1843 The trustees (Ripley, Dana, Pratt and Brown) placed a third mortgage for $1000 on the estate; it increased the mortgage debts to 12,000.

		Sophia Ripley, (1803-1861), ‘the forward-looking daughter of an elite Boston family’, wrote a moving essay simply called ‘Woman’.
		Very few of her sex suspect even how noble and beautiful is that which they legitimately occupy, for they are early deprived the privilege of seeing things as they are.’ Ripley’s clarity and insight show her independence, her ability to question the status quo with logic and sensitivity.
		It would have been easy to assign Ripley’s words to her time and settle for the notion that things have improved for women.

		These lines of thought were much encouraged by the friendship and mentoring of the minister of the Purchase Street Church in Boston, George Ripley, one of Emerson's most astute and effective allies during the Transcendentalist controversy, and his wife Sophia Dana Ripley, with whom Dwight shared a deep interest in music.

		With all members of the community sharing equally in the work and the rewards, there would be no "wage slavery."

	Chapter III. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		With the agrarian background of Brook Farm the transcendentalists were in hearty sympathy, quite oblivious of the fact that agrarianism could offer no solution for industrialism; but they balked at the principle of task allotment as a hindrance to the unfolding of individual differences.
		Of all the transcendentalists William Henry Charming was clearly the most confirmed associationist, except perhaps Ripley; to the end of his life he remained a socialist, active in collectivistic movements and clinging fondly to his memory of Brook Farm as a "great college of social students." But few of his fellow transcendentalists shared his faith.
		Albert Brisbane, the American apostle of Fourierism, might bring George Ripley, the least individualistic and most prosaic of the transcendental group, to his views of organization; but he got on badly with the others who were quite too fluid to take a mechanical set.

	Reform (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		At Brook Farm, while women were granted limited voting rights and officeholding priveleges, they continued to take most of the responsibility for the traditional forms of "women's work" and did not take part in the farm's major decisions.
		Sophia Ripley, who converted to Catholicism after Brook Farm disbanded in a continued effort to find a spiritually satisfying community, expressed the feeling that the community's commitment to a new mode of gender relations subverted itself because it derived more from abstract philosophy than from emotion.
		Of all the Transcendentalists who took steps toward redefining their own conceptions of gender relations, Margaret Fuller stands out as the one who blazed the clearest path and managed to cleave unerrantly to her principles.

		Probably the best-known utopian community in America, Brook Farm was founded in 1841 in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, by George and Sophia Ripley.
		The commune was built on a 200-acre farm with four buildings and centered on the ideals of radical social reform and self-reliance.
		However, Ripley joined the unpopular Fourierism movement, which meant that soon the young people (out of a "sense of honor") had to do all the dirty work like repairing roads, cleaning stables, and slaughtering the animals.
