Biographical notes:

The Graduate School of Theology began as the Theological Department of Oberlin Collegiate Institute in 1833. Academic work began in 1835 with the arrival of rebel seminarians from Lane Theological Seminary. By the 1870s, the school had become known as the Oberlin Theological Seminary. Its name changed to the Graduate School of Theology in 1916. The purpose of the seminary throughout its 133-year history was the training of ministers in a non-sectarian, non-denominational setting. The seminary closed in 1966 and moved to Nashville where it merged with Vanderbilt University Divinity School.
