Beriah Green Jr. (March 24, 1795May 4, 1874) was an American reformer,
abolitionist,
temperance advocate, college professor, minister, and head of the
Oneida Institute. He was "consumed totally by his abolitionist views". Former student
Alexander Crummell described him as a "bluff, kind-hearted man," a "master-thinker". Modern scholars have described him as "cantankerous", "obdurate," "caustic, belligerent, [and] suspicious". "He was so firmly convinced of his opinions and so uncompromising that he aroused hostility all about him."
