Historical Note
Alfred Williams Anthony was born in Providence, Rhode Island on
January 13, 1860. His parents were Lewis Williams and Britannia
Franklin (Waterman) Anthony. He received an A.B. degree from Brown
University in 1883. In 1885, he graduated from the Cobb Divinity
School, then affiliated with Bates College and received an A.M.
degree from Brown in 1886.
He married Harriet Wyatt Angell in September 1885, and they had
two children, Elizabeth Williams and Alfred Williams, Jr. Elizabeth
graduated from Bates in 1908. After the death of his wife in 1899,
Anthony married Gertrude Brown Libbey in 1903. Daughter of Winfield
Scott Libbey and Annie Shaw Libbey, she was a 1901 graduate of
Bates College. They had three children, Richard Lewis, Warren Shaw
and Charles Sheldon,'36.
After graduating from Cobb Divinity School in 1885, Anthony took
the position of pastor of the Essex Street Free Baptist Church in
Bangor, Maine. In 1887, he was elected Chair of New Testament
Exegesis and Criticism at the Cobb Divinity School, a position he
did not initially accept. Instead, from 1888-1890, he studied
abroad at Berlin University, returning in 1890, to take the
position at the Cobb Divinity School, distinguishing himself as a
scholar, teacher, and administrator.
In 1893, he published two articles: "The Fourth Gospel" and "The
Gospel of Peter," both of which were well received. In 1893 and
1894, he gave a lecture in the campus chapel entitled "The Newly
Discovered Epistle of St. Peter," and he often delivered sermons at
the Freewill Baptist Churches in the area. When the Divinity School
was discontinued as a department of the College, he was elected the
Fullonton Professor of Christian Literature and Ethics at Bates
College and served in that capacity for three years
(1908-1911).
In 1911, Dr. A nthony officially resigned his position at Bates,
after 23 years of service to the College. That same year he
accepted a temporary appointment as Joint Secretary for Free
Baptist and Baptist union, a position which allowed him to
facilitate union at the different levels of both organizations. In
1918, with most of the work on unification finished, he accepted
the position of Executive Secretary for the interdenominational
Home Missions Council and moved to New York with his family. He
remained in that position for five years, resigning in 1923.
Although semi-retired he served on several committees of the
Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. In 1933, after a
slight stroke, he gave up his New York residence and returned to
Lewiston.
An author througout his life, Anthony wrote numerous articles
and several books including An Introduction to the Life of Jesus
(1896) and The Method of Jesus (1899). His last book, Bates College
and Its Background, published in 1936 and written at the request of
President Clifton D. Gray, detailed the beginnings and development
of the College.
Anthony was active in a variety of educational and religious
organizations. He served as the corresponding secretary and
treasurer of the General Conference of Freewill Baptists and was a
member of the Interdenominational Commission of Maine. He also
served as the director for the Maine chapter of the Religious
Education Association, Chairman of the Committee on Goodwill
between Jews and Christians and was a member of the Federal Council
of Churches of Christ in America. Additionally he was President of
the Board of Trustees of Storer College, located in Harpers Ferry,
West Virginia and served on the the boards of trustees for Bates
College, Hillsdale College and Brown University.
An active civic leader Anthony served on a variety of
commissions and boards including the Maine Charities Commission and
the Lewiston School Committee. He was appointed by Governor
Milliken as a member of the Police Commission for Lewiston.
Dr. Anthony was a noted philanthropist and many institutions and
organizations benefitted from his generosity. Of particular note is
his donation of land which became the nucleus of the Stanton Bird
Club's Thorncrag Bird Sanctuary in Lewiston.
He was awarded an honorary D. D. from Bates in 1902 and from
Brown in 1908 and an L.L.D. from Colby College in 1914. After
suffering a stroke in 1938, he died at the home of his eldest son
on January 20, 1939.
