Every algebra for a monad (A,a) is the coequalizer, in the Eilenberg-Moore category, of F(TA)⇉F(A) with underlying arrows μA​ and Ta, followed by a:F(A)→(A,a). The pair has common section FηA​. If an algebra morphism h:F(A)→(B,b) equalizes the pair, the unique induced algebra morphism is hηA​:(A,a)→(B,b). This explicit proof does not require general colimits of algebras.
