STRONG, Augustus Hopkins, educator, born in Rochester, New York, 3 August, 1836. His great-grandfather, Philip, was first cousin to Jedediah, noticed below. His father, Alvah Strong, published for thirty years the Rochester daily " Democrat." The son was graduated at Yale in 1857, and at Rochester theological seminary in 1859. He then spent some time abroad, studying in the German universities and travelling in Europe and the East. In 1861 he became pastor of the 1st Baptist church of Haverhill, Massachusetts, and was ordained to the ministry. In 1865 he accepted a call to the pastorate of the 1st Baptist church in Cleveland, Ohio, and remained there until 1872, when he was elected president and professor of biblical theology in Rochester theological seminary. This place he still holds. Brown gave him the degree of D. D. in 1870. He preaches often, and gives much time to the general affairs of the denomination with which he is identified. He is a trustee of Vassar college. Dr. Strong has written much for reviews and newspapers on a variety of subjects, literary as well as theological. He is the author of "Systematic Theology" (Rochester, 1886), which has received high commendation for its ability and learning, and also of "Philosophy and Religion " (New York, 1888).
