WESTERN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, 12th St. between College and Columbia Aves., was established in 1866 as the theological department of Hope College, to prepare students for the ministry of the Dutch Reformed Church. In 1884, the seminary was separated from the college and given its present name. It has a faculty of 6 (1939) and an enrollment of 37. Shaded by oaks and maples on the one-and-a-half acre campus are four brick structures: Zwemer Hall, Semelink Hall, Beardslee Library, and a small heating plant. --- Michigan, A Guide to the Wolverine State, 1941.
The student population has grown to 225 full and part-time students and 20 faculty. The denomination is now called the Reformed Church in America.
