The Theological Seminary at Bangor received its charter from the Legislature of Massachusetts in the year 1814. It went into operation, at Hampden, in the autumn of 1816. In 1819 the institution was removed from Hampden to Bangor, where it is now permanently established. Its first Professors were Rev. Abijah Wines, formerly of Newport, N. H., and Mr. Jehudi Ashmun, afterwards the founder and first Governor of the colony at Liberia.

The Seminary was originally founded on the plan of the English Dissenting institutions, combining a classical and theological course of study, which occupied the term of four years. After a few years this plan was dropped. The classical department was separated from the theological; the terms of admission to the Seminary proper were raised; the course of study, and the period of it, were made similar to those at Andover and Princeton.

For many years the Seminary was constantly embarrassed for the want of funds; but it is now relieved, in good measure, from such embarrassments. The professorships are chiefly endowed; the buildings are in good condition; and it has a library of more than 10,000 volumes. The number of students for the last twenty years has been very uniform, rarely rising above fifty or falling below forty.

This Seminary, though under the particular charge of Orthodox Congregationalists, is equally open to Christians of other denominations.

The course of study at this Seminary embraces Sacred Literature, Systematic and Pastoral Theology, Church Polity, Sacred Rhetoric, and Ecclesiastical History; and is intended to be as full and thorough as at any Seminary in the United States.
