Excerpt from A History of the Richmond Theological Seminary: With Reminiscences of Thirty Years' Work Among the Colored People of the South The facts pertaining to the founding of any institution of learning are always of interest to those who live afterwards. The experiences through which the early laborers pass; their struggles and their triumphs are instructive and stimulating. What may seem unimportant and not out of the routine of our daily duty today, may be of intense interest, and also of profit to the generations that follow. This has always been the case in the founding and building up of the Colleges and Semina ries of our denomination.
