Encyclopedia : C : CR : CRO : Crozer Theological Seminary

The Crozer Theological Seminary was a multi-denominational religious institution located near Chester, PA in Upland. The school, which occupied the former Crozer Hospital (now the Crozer-Chester Medical Center), mostly served as an American Baptist Church school, training seminarians for the entry into the Baptist ministry. Henry Clay Vedder was employed there from 1894 onwards.

The most famous student of Crozer Seminary was the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. He attended the school in the late 1950s as a Baptist seminarian. The school is now the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School (1970), and the old seminary building is now a medical office on the grounds of the Crozer-Chester Medical Center.
