Renaming "Lane Theological Seminary" to "Lane Seminary"
I didn't create this article, but about 90% of it is mine.

Prior to the Lane Rebels incident, it was only called Lane Seminary, or Cincinnati Lane Seminary, even in their own official publications. I cannot find any instance of the word "Theological" appearing in any reference to the school before 1829. I've checked newspaper indexes too.

So up until 1829, give or take a year, it was "Lane Seminary", and after that it was "Lane Theological Seminary". It did have the latter name for more years.

A check in Google reveals 59,000 for "Lane Seminary" and 43,000 for "Lane Theological Seminary".

People are interested in the institution because of what happened there before it became "Lane Theological". Almost nobody studies the later period. deisenbe (talk) 01:45, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
