"There are here displayed a few views of the new St. Lawrence University Theological School which your generous and loyal interest has built. Atwood Memorial Hall is a fitting tribute to the memory of a great Universalist family. It even exceeds expectations in beauty and functioning capacity. The dedication and formal opening of Atwood Memorial will be on the evening of October 17th. The faculty and trustees hope that you will be able to join them on that occasion. They would like you to see the building and furnishings that you have provided, and to help in dedicating it to the great service for which it is intended."
- Angus H. MacLean, Dean

A letter to Alumni and Friends of the St. Lawrence Theological School

Erected in 1955, Atwood Hall served as the second Theological School building for the Theological School at St. Lawrence University. Richardson Hall, the first college building, which originally contained Theological School classrooms, office and dormitory, was erected in 1858. The Theological school then moved its classrooms and students to Fisher Hall. This was the first Theological School building. It was erected in 1883 and was destroyed by fire in 1951. Atwood Hall would become the final home of the Theological School at St. Lawrence University when it eventually closed in June 1965. Atwood Hall now houses the Education Department which offers classes for both the undergraduate and graduate Education Programs.
