Cyrus Hamlin is a missionary sent to Ottoman lands in 1829 by the "American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions" (ABCFM). However, this definition is very inadequate because Cyrus Hamlin is not an ordinary missionary. From the moment he came to Istanbul, the capital city of the Ottoman Empire, he not only did missionary activities but also carried out many different works in many distinct fields. He sometimes acted as a missionary teacher, sometimes as an artist and sometimes as a merchant. In short, he preferred to be a man of action rather than an ordinary missionary. Despite this fact, Hamlin sees all his work within the boundaries of missionary and even regards it as a sine qua non of the missionary. For Hamlin, missionary is huge cause he believes in his cause and has done everything he does for the sake of it. The educational activities and commercial initiatives he carried out in the Ottoman Empire were not adopted by the American Board, and he often drew its reaction. Drawing an exceptional missionary profile, Hamlin has been in a constant struggle with Turkish bureaucracy and other Christian communities in the Ottoman Empire. After officially cutting off his relationship with the American Board, Hamlin founded Robert College and continued his missionary activities by this college.
