Frank Chamberlin Porter was a professor of biblical theology at YDS (1891-1927). His work focused on the New Testament, from the historical Jesus debate to the Judaism of New Testament times. He also helped Benjamin Bacon and Dean Edward Curtis create "historic curriculum reform in 1907 that made YDS a national pacesetter" (Waddle, 88). He and his wife, Delia Wood Lyman Porter, who was "a vital personality and organizer in the YDS community for four decades" (Waddle, 116), also had a building named after them: Porter Hall, the first dorm for female YDS students, built in 1957.
