1899: Merger To Form Virginia Union University
During the 1890s plans were pushed forward to merge several ABHMS Institutions into one University, and by 1899 it was agreed that Wayland Seminary and Richmond Theological Seminary would come together to form Virginia Union University (VUU) at Richmond. Land for a new campus was purchased. Over 100 years later, VUU's 84-acre (340,000 m2) campus is still located there, at 1500 North Lombardy Street in Richmond's North Side.

Adroit, the shapely prefaces complete,
Accept the university of death.”
