  • Ronald T. Clutter, "The Reorganization of Princeton
    Grace Theological Journal 7.2 (1986) 179- 201 THE REORGANIZATION OF PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY RECONSIDERED RONALD T. CLUTTER The reorganization of Princeton Theological Seminary, leading to the withdrawal of J. Gresham Machen, Oswald T. Allis, Cornelius Van Til, and Robert Dick Wilson, is identified often as a triumph of modernism in its conflict with fundamentalism in the churches in the 1920s. However, a consideration of the situation at Princeton and of the events which took place within and outside the institution leads to a different conclusion. The controversy at Princeton involved evangelical Presbyterians, all claiming loyalty to the tradition of the seminary. The conflict arose due to competing philosophies of seminary education and differing solutions for dealing with liberalism in the denomination. In this confrontation, pitting one evangelical faction against another, Prince­ ton Seminary suffered privately and publicly. The denomination was called upon to assist in resolving the problem. The solution enacted by the denomination resulted in the departure from the seminary ofsome of the most capable defenders of the evangelicalfaith. * * * INTRODUCTION T the centennial celebration of Princeton Theological Seminary in A 1912, institution president, Francis Landey Patton, declared that "the theological position of Princeton Seminary has remained un­ changed.'" At the sesquicentennial celebration, H~gh T. Kerr stated: "It is no secret that many contemporary professors at the seminary feel completely out of touch theologically with their predecessors of a generation or more ago on such issues as Biblical criticism, apolo­ getics, the sacraments, and the interpretation of the Westminster IFrancis Landey Patton.

  • The Dream Realized
    CHAPTER ONE The Dream Realized In the productions of genius, nothing can be styled excellent till it has been compared with other works of the same kind. —SAMUEL JOHNSON WHEN Woodrow Wilson resigned the Princeton presidency in 1910, he was discouraged and emotionally bruised. His failure to deter- mine the location and character of the nascent graduate school and his inability to win support for building residential colleges, or “quads,” for all of the college’s classes, which he hoped would “de- mocratize” if not eliminate the socially restrictive upperclass eating clubs, had wounded him deeply. A recent cerebrovascular incident that had hardened the lines of his headstrong personality did nothing to prevent or repair the damage. Four years later in the White House, he still had nightmares about the troubles that drove him from the institution he had attended as an undergraduate, loved as a professor, and nurtured as president.1 His disappointment was all the keener for having envisioned a brilliant future for Princeton and having enjoyed a string of early successes in realizing that vision. At its sesquicentennial celebration in 1896, the College of New Jersey had officially renamed itself a university. But Wilson, the designated faculty speaker, had been 1 Edwin A. Weinstein, Woodrow Wilson: A Medical and Psychological Biography (Princeton, 1981), chaps. 10, 12; John M. Mulder, Woodrow Wilson: The Years of Prepara- tion (Princeton, 1978), chap. 8. On December 12, 1913, Colonel Edward House noted in his diary that Wilson had not slept well the previous night. “He had nightmares . he thought he was seeing some of his Princeton enemies.

  • Journal of the Presbyterian Historical Society
    JOURNAL OP THE Presbyterian Historical Society VOL. VI. SEPTEMBER, 1912. No. 7. PRINCETON HYMNS. BY PROFESSOR BENJAMIN B. WARFIELD, D.D., LL.D., LJTT.D. In the literary product of the sons of Princeton Seminary, there is naturally included a good deal of religious verse. Few varieties of religious verse — from epigrams to epics — have been wholly neglected. But, as was to be expected, a considerable part of it takes the form of hymns. A large number of these hymns have been occasional in their origin, have served their purpose, and have passed out of sight. A not inconsiderable number of them, however, have taken their places in the permanent hymnody of, at least, the Presbyterian Church. In this "centennial year," when Princeton Sem inary is reviewing its work of an hundred years and, as it were, "taking stock" of the services it has rendered the Church and the Churches, it is worth while, perhaps, to en deavor to estimate Avith some exactness the contribution it has made to the hymnody of the Church also. The most natural way of doing this is to pass in review the Hymn Books which have been most widely in use in the Presbyterian churches for the last fifty years or so, and note the hymns of Princeton men which have found place in them. We have therefore examined, with this end in view, a series of Presbyterian Hymn Books and, in order to get a little wider view, have added to them a few other very 247 NOTES.

  • “Well Before the Transdenominational Convergence of What We Now Call the Evangelical Church, B
    “Well before the transdenominational convergence of what we now call the evangelical church, B. B. Warfield spent forty years as the Presbyterian Horatius, holding the bridge that leads into the citadel of the Westminster Standards against those he saw as spoilers from the wastelands of liberalism. A heavyweight academic and a complete player in the fields of systematic, exegetical, historical, and polemical theology, he scattered his wisdom in hundreds of articles, which this book surveys and integrates with great skill. Warfield can now be seen in his full stature as the godly giant that he was, thanks to Fred Zaspel’s labor of love. Best thanks, and hallelujah!” J. I. Packer, Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology, Regent College “B. B. Warfield’s distinguished achievements as a systematic theologian have been obscured by the episodic, ad hoc publication of his major theological statements. But even if Warfield did not think it necessary that he write a single, connected systematic theology, it is nonetheless most welcome that Fred Zaspel has done the job for him! The result is a very useful compendium that gives both admirers and detractors of Warfield a full and coherent account of his theology. All who are in the least interested in Warfield or who care at all about vigorous Calvinist theology will find this a most valuable book.” Mark Noll, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History, University of Notre Dame; author, America’s God: From Jonathan Edwards to Abraham Lincoln “Serious Christians who have dipped into Warfield find his writings to be a wholly admirable mix of rigorous exegesis, mature theological synthesis, and frank devotion to Christ.
