Augustus Hopkins Strong was born on August 3, 1836, in Rochester, New York. His father, Alvah Strong, was one of the original settlers of that town and one of the founders of the Rochester Theological Seminary. Augustus graduated with the Yale College class of 1857 and then entered the school his father helped found. He was ordained in August, 1861, and for the next decade was pastor at churches in Massachusetts and Ohio. In 1872, he resigned his pastorate to become president of Rochester Theological Seminary and chair of systematic theology. He held these jobs for forty years, during which time he produced numerous books and increased the school's endowment tenfold.
