Abstract

Merzifon American Anatolian College was closed down for military reasons since the area was announced as a battle field because of the Russian movement in the Eastern Front in May 1916. Therefore, American lecturers in the college were sent to Istanbul. Among these lecturers Dr. George E. White went to USA and reported the causes of quitting Merzifon to the Board Secretarial of which he was a member. White was assigned to the Directorship of Support Commission to Near East in Minnesota and played an active role in the help campaigns especially for Armenian people. In the context of this assignment, his speeches in many churches found place in American Press. His speeches increased Turkish hostility and Armenian support in American public opinion.

Özet

Merzifon Amerikan Anadolu Koleji 1916 yılı Mayıs ayında, Doğu Cephesi’nde Rusların ilerlemesi sonucu bölgenin harp sahası ilan edilmesi üzerine askeri gerekçelerle kapatılmış ve Amerikan uyruklu hocalar İstanbul’a gönderilmişlerdir. Bunların arasında bulunan Kolejin Başkanı Dr. George E. White Amerika’ya gitmiş ve mensubu olduğu Board sekreterliğine Merzifon’dan ayrılma nedenlerini rapor etmiştir. White, Amerika’da bulunduğu süre içerisinde Minnesota Eyaleti’nde Yakındoğu’ya Yardım Heyeti Direktörlüğüne atanmış, özelikle Ermeniler için yapılan yardım kampanyalarında aktif rol almıştır. Bu görev çerçevesinde birçok kilisede yaptığı konuşmalar dönemin Amerikan basınında geniş yer bulmuş, konuşmalarının Amerikan kamuoyunda Türk düşmanlığı ve Ermeni sempatizanlığının artmasında ciddî rolü olmuştur.
