Charles Tracy moved the seminary of Constantinople to Merzifon in 1880, establishing a new school. He was a man well versed in hard work, having grown up on a farm before becoming a teacher. That is why he wanted his students to learn to use their hands, in addition to sharpening their minds. Together with others, he built Anatolia College from the ground up. A school that started as a seminary but eventually grew to include a hospital, a school of nursing, the only school in the Ottoman Empire for deaf children, an orphanage, a printing press which published Merzifon\u2019s first newspaper, a carpentry shop, a flour mill, and a museum. In 1886 Charles Tracy became the first President of Anatolia College.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":135,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-100-people-who-made-history"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
