Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 January 2009
Extract
Two churches of the Presbyterian family, the Associate and the Associate Reformed, were the pioneers in organizing theological education west of the Alleghanies. As they were small and their history is not generally known, this paper may open with a brief account of their origin.

page 124 note 2 It has been claimed for Service Seminary (the present Xenia Seminary) that it is the oldest Protestant theological seminary now in existence in America. This raises the question of the identity of New Brunswick Seminary with the seminary opened by Dr. John H. Livingston, in 1784, or at least the question of the continuousness of its work. In view of the statement of New Brunswick Seminary that “the lines of its professors and students have been unbroken” from 1784 (see its catalogue of 1913–1914, p. 3) the writer is disposed to make the statement in the text. St. Mary's, Baltimore (Roman Catholic), was founded in 1791.
