In a salute to the 175th anniversary of the University of Richmond, the latest Virginia Baptist Historical Society’s annual journal, The Virginia Baptist Register, features three articles examining the role 19th-century Baptists played in the founding of that institution. In “A Place of Baptist Values,” the efforts of men such as Jeremiah B. Jeter, Robert and Charles Ryland and James Thomas Jr. to ensure the success of first the Virginia Baptist Seminary and then Richmond College is presented by Fred Anderson, executive director of the VBHS. In this article, the names behind the original buildings on the current campus are given life. The life of pastor Charles Hill Ryland, founder of the VBHS and longtime official at Richmond College. is examined by Pamela C. Ash, a student at Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond. Michael Whitt, local freelance researcher and special projects assistant at the VBHS, reveals through recently discovered letters written at the time various aspects of student life at Richmond College in the 1840s. Copies of the Register have been mailed to all annual members of the Virginia Baptist Historical Society. Others may secure a copy for $6, plus $2 for postage and handling. Orders should be sent to Virginia Baptist Historical Society, P.O. Box 34, University of Richmond, VA 23173. Special to the Herald                 Comments (0)
