Amaron (1852-1917) was a French-Canadian Presbyterian minister who "accepted a call to the French Protestant Church in Lowell, Mass. , to continue the work of evangelizing French Canadians. During the second half of the 19th century hundreds of thousands of French Canadians migrated south to work in the factories of New England: by 1900 they would form about 10 per cent of that region's population. Recognizing the need for educational institutions to support his evangelization, Amaron founded the French Protestant College at Lowell in 1885." (Dict. Of Canadian Biography). Amaron felt that the flood of Catholic French immigrants to New England was detrimental to the existing culture and that the immigrants needed to be converted to Protestantism or turned back.
