It started operation in 1821 with 4 teachers and 11 students. The only remaining buildings from that campus, called Willard Memorial Chapel-Welch Memorial Hall built in 1892 are listed as a National Historic Landmark. The chapel was named for donor Sylvester Willard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work= web site )〕 The Auburn Affirmation is named for Robert Hastings Nichols who was a professor at the time. In 1939, the Great Depression caused the seminary to move to New York City to share the campus of the Union Theological Seminary. It is located at 3041 Broadway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work= Auburn Theological Seminary web site )〕 Since the 1990s, Auburn has focused on religious continuing education and become leaders in theological research, attempting to redefine what it means to be a seminary in today's world.
