Excerpt from The Shaw University Bulletin, Vol. 14: Founder's Day Number; October 1944 At the age of 18, Tupper entered Monson Academy to prepare himself for college. While attending the Academy, he was con verted. Upon leaving the Academy, he enrolled in Amherst College. Graduating in 1859, he entered Newton Theological Institution and was graduated m 1862. Shortly after his graduation, Tupper enlisted in the 'federate Army as a soldier. He was assigned to the Army of the Potomac about the time of the battles of South Mountain and Antietam. In one battle in which he participated, a shell burst so near his face that it scorched his flesh, and though fellow soldiers on both sides were killed by the flying pieces, Tupper was providentially spared to do his great life's work.
