Henry Alexander White (1861-1926) was a notable figure in the field of theological education and historical writing. Born in Greenbrier County, Virginia, White was of Scotch-Irish descent. He completed his education at Washington and Lee University in 1885 and later graduated from Princeton Seminary in 1889. White served as a professor of history at Washington and Lee University from 1889 to 1902 before moving to Columbia Theological Seminary in South Carolina. There, he held the position of Professor of New Testament Literature and Exegesis from 1903 until his death in 1926. White's academic journey included a period of special study at the University of Glasgow. His home in Gibbes Court was known for its impressive collection of art, as he and his wife brought back numerous copies or photographs of famous masterpieces from Europe. In addition to his academic and teaching roles, White was an accomplished author. He wrote extensively on the history of South Carolina and the Scotch-Irish in America, and also penned biographies of significant historical figures such as Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. His book, "Southern Presbyterian Leaders 1683-1911," is particularly notable and was dedicated to his wife's father and uncle, who were office-bearers in the First Presbyterian Church of Richmond, Virginia. White was also actively involved in church affairs. He gave the principal address at the Tercentenary of the King James Bible in 1911 and delivered the Stone Lectures at Princeton in 1920 on 'The Gospel of Comfort.' His death in 1926 followed a series of sermons on the Holy Spirit he gave at the seminary chapel. White was remembered for his steadfast commitment to the Christian faith during a time of growing attacks on it. He was buried at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia​.
