Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. College Board

Presbyterian Board of Aid for Colleges and Academies organized in 1883 to direct "the interests of higher education as connected with the Presbyterian Church;" in 1904 its name was changed to The College Board; in 1915 it united with the Presbyterian Board of Education to form the General Board of Education, with a revised three-fold mission: to enlist and support ministerial candidates; to establish and support denominational schools and colleges; and, to provide religious services for and promote religious life among students at independent and state-supported colleges. The General Board of Education operated until 1948.
