  Harvard Divinity School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The School's purpose is to train graduate students--either in the academic study of religion, or in the practice of a religious ministry.
Harvard Divinity School is one of five university-based, non-denominational divinity schools in the United States (the other three being at the University of Chicago, Vanderbilt University, Wake Forest University and Yale University).
The separate institution of the Divinity School, however, dates from 1816, when it was established as the first non-denominational divinity school in the United States (Princeton Theological Seminary, the nation's oldest graduate school of theology, having been founded as a Presbyterian institution in 1812).

 Divinity Hall, Harvard Divinity School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Divinity Hall (1826) is the oldest building in the Harvard Divinity School at Harvard University.
The Hall was designed by Solomon Willard and Thomas Sumner, and dedicated on August 29, 1826, with William Ellery Channing giving the dedicatory speech, "The Christian Ministry." It was the first Harvard building constructed outside Harvard Yard.
As George Huntston Williams wrote in his 1954 history of the Divinity School, theological students needed to be isolated from undergraduates lest they drink up "more of the spirit of the University than of the spirit of their profession."

 YAM September/October 2003 - Divinity School
The school's space needs had changed dramatically in the 60 years since the quadrangle had been designed by the architects Delano and Aldrich (in the style of Thomas Jefferson's design for the University of Virginia), and it was getting difficult to maintain buildings that no longer served their original uses.
The physical renewal of the Divinity School is the outward sign of Yale's continued covenant with the school and a reaffirmation of the school's mission, its leadership, and its future.
The Divinity School hasn't done much on its own or in concert with other professional schools to offer conferences, symposia, or colloquies that would cut across departmental divisions and be of thematic interest to the wider university.

 EMERSON - ESSAYS - DIVINITY SCHOOL ADDRESS
The doctrine of the divine nature being forgotten, a sickness infects and dwarfs the constitution.
And because the indwelling Supreme Spirit cannot wholly be got rid of, the doctrine of it suffers this perversion, that the divine nature is attributed to one or two persons, and denied to all the rest, and denied with fury.
Now man is ashamed of himself; he skulks and sneaks through the world, to be tolerated, to be pitied, and scarcely in a thousand years does any man dare to be wise and good, and so draw after him the tears and blessings of his kind.

 Divinity School Pins First Year Students - Graduate School News
Many divinity students such as Vonderlear Fields brought members of their family to attend the ceremony, "I brought my family out so they can understand what I'm doing." It was easy to see the deep meaning that this ceremony holds for the students, former students, professors, and family members.
Given the history of the divinity school, the pinning ceremony is very symbolic, and holds a different meaning for each person that attended.
The divinity school holds a pinning ceremony twice a year, once in the fall and once for the spring semester students.

 Boston.com / News / Education / Higher education / BC eyes divinity school merger
Boston College, moving to strengthen its Catholic identity and take advantage of its recently acquired real estate in Brighton, is exploring a merger with the Weston Jesuit School of Theology, a divinity school in Harvard Square that prepares Jesuit and Capuchin priests.
Weston, which is one of two Jesuit theology schools in the United States, currently has about 240 students, of whom half are lay people.
Weston would become part of a new school of theology and ministry at Boston College and would bring to BC a number of prominent theologians who would shore up the university's Catholic studies offerings as Boston College, like other Catholic universities, is under scrutiny from bishops and others concerned about its Catholic identity.
