Boer was born in Roderwolde, in the Netherlands[1] and graduated in 1864 from the theological school in Kampen. Afterwards he joined the ministry. In 1873, Boer was called to Grand Rapids, Michigan and in 1876, the Synod of the Christian Reformed Church appointed him the first professor of their newly established theological school. Using his own books and a curriculum modeled on the one used in Kampen, Boer opened the school which later became Calvin Theological Seminary and its offshoot Calvin College. Boer is also noted for encouraging the growth of Christian primary education. In 1986, the Boer-Bennink residence hall was opened in Calvin College named after Boer because of his significant contributions to Christian education, the Christian Reformed Church, and Calvin College.[2] References1. ^Geert Boer, Heritage Hall, Calvin College {{s-start}}{{succession box|title=President of Calvin College|before=none|after=Albertus John Rooks|years=1876-1902}}{{s-end}}{{Calvin College presidents}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Boer, Geert Egberts}}2. ^Boer-Bennink Hall, Residence Life, Calvin College 4 : Presidents of Calvin College|1832 births|1904 deaths|People from Noordenveld |
