St Stephen’s College Theological Department
St. Stephen's College (now Bard) was established on Mar. 20, 1860. Under its second warden, the Rev. Thomas Richey, a theology department with a three-year course was established. Three young men began the course, but soon decided “that they could accomplish their objectives more satisfactorily in some of the older seminaries.”
