Anson Daniel Morse (August 13, 1846 – March 13, 1916) was an educator, historian, and professor at Amherst College.

He joined the faculty of Amherst College in 1876,[1] and held positions as lecturer in political economics and professor of history.

Morse emphasized in his studies that political parties expressed the popular will.

From Coolidge's college years at Amherst, the two professors who influenced him the most were Morse in history and Charles Edward Garman in philosophy and ethics.
