George Washington Northrup, educator, preacher and theologian, was born in Antwerp, Jefferson County, New York on October 15, 1826. He graduated from Williams College in 1854 and from Rochester Theological Seminary in 1857 and received a D. D. from Rochester in 1864, and an LL.D. from Kalamazoo College in 1879.
Northrup was ordained to the Baptist ministry, and became a noted preacher. In 1858, he became Professor of Church History at the Rochester seminary. In 1867, he became president of the Baptist Union Theological Seminary in Chicago, serving until the Seminary became the Divinity School of the University of Chicago in 1892. In 1892, Northrup was named Professor and Head of the Department of Systematic Theology in the Divinity School, a position he held until his death on December 30, 1900.
The Papers contain notes and outlines for Northrup's theological lectures.
