Princeton Theological Seminary was the first institution of higher learning to admit a black student - ten years before Oberlin College. Theodore Wright was admitted in 1825. He was graduated three years later as a member of the class of 1828. When he was recommended for study at Princeton Seminary by the Presbytery of Albany (New York), the Seminary Board of Trustees declared "his color shall form no obstacle in the way of his reception." page 35, William K.
