Once upon a time, Yale Divinity - and history students - packed the rooms just to hear Roland Bainton speak. The school also wired rooms just to hear him.
ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the National Council of Churches.

Endlessly Portraying the Past
A relative let everyone know that Columbia University was the place for a master's degree in teaching. She earned the degree and let everyone know.
After WWII, Eisenhauer became the university president and glided into that presidency, an odd change.
Meanwhile, Colombia's seminary grew smaller, into the tiny Union Seminary. The shrinking Union got into a fight around faculty and its refusal to agree. A famous theological visitor said, "I am not lecturing there with a big fight going on." Doubtless many got upset, so my source talked about it from one source or another.
People who enjoy history can always find something unusual.
