Strong, Augustus Hopkins (1836–1921) Protestant theologian, educator; born in Rochester, N.Y. The son of a newspaper publisher, he graduated from Yale (1857) and the Rochester Theological Seminary (1859) and held Baptist pastorates in Massachusetts and Ohio. President of the Rochester Seminary from 1872 to 1912, he produced theological works, including Systematic Theology (3 vols. 1886), that sought a middle ground between conservative and liberal doctrine. He helped interest John D. Rockefeller, a former parishioner, in higher education; Rockefeller later founded the University of Chicago. How to thank TFD for its existence?
