In preparation for our Bicentennial, and for the Centennial of the founding of ATS/PSCE in 2014, we have moved one of our display cases into the Atrium near the front entrance. Some charming bits of memorabilia from the history of ATS/PSCE can be seen there.
The General Assembly of the PCUS acted to establish the Assembly's Training School in 1914, under the leadership of Walter W. Lingle, Professor of Missions, and Walter W. Moore, President of Union Theological Seminary. In 1959, the institution's name was changed to the Presbyterian School of Christian Education. It offered a complete residential program with shared meals, worship and full-time study on the beautiful campus on the west side of Brook Road.
For 82 years, ATS/PSCE provided women and men with a suitable learning environment and course of study to prepare them to serve the Church and the world as lay workers, educators and missionaries.
A history of ATS/PSCE called The First Seventy Years was written by Louise McComb in 1984. You'll find it in our collection : TX 69 X M129. I recommend it! And please stop by the display case to enjoy some of the objects from the school's rich past.
