Century Memorial
Lewis Lampman was for a quarter of a century director of Union Theological Seminary, in whose management he took a deep and abiding interest. To this work he applied the part of an active life that could be spared from his pastoral labors, first in Jamaica, Long Island, and then in Newark, New Jersey. Always restive under the narrowing restrictions of the old theology, he was one of the religious leaders who, in the controversy which divided his church a quarter of a century ago, supported freedom of belief and interpretation of the Scriptures in the light of modern investigation. Dr. Lampman was a lover of good conversation, good books, and wholesome outdoor sports; the favorite recreation of his later years of retirement from professional work being tarpon fishing in Florida.
