Tribute to Newbury Seminary by James Beebee, former Dean, Boston University School of Theology:
"Their's was the spirit of honest inquiry. The spirit of hospitality to new light and truth from any quarter, the spirit of understanding which sees all life is one and that every truth must live at peace with every other . . . a spirit that made a great school."
