In 1908, [[Harvard Divinity School]] and Andover attempted to reconcile, and the seminary moved its faculty and library to the Harvard campus<ref>{{Cite news |date=1906-11-21 |title=Harvard and Andover |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/boston-evening-transcript-harvard-and-an/156829390/ |access-date=2024-10-09 |work=Boston Evening Transcript |pages=6}}</ref> (and soon into Andover Hall [1911]). Plans for a formal affiliation between the academies were made, but the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts disallowed the alliance since Andover's endowment is designated for a Christian theological education. Andover, therefore, relocated to the campus of Newton Theological Institution in 1931.

Andover Theological Seminary and the Newton Theological Institution formally merged in 1965 as the [[Andover Newton Theological School]] (ANTS). [[Newton Theological Institution]] began instruction in 1825 at Newton Centre, Massachusetts as a graduate seminary formally affiliated with the group now known as [[American Baptist Churches USA]], the oldest Baptist denomination in America. As the institution developed, it adopted Andover's curricular pattern and shared the same theological tradition of loyalty to the evangelical Gospel and zeal for its dissemination.

In November 2015, ANTS announced that it would sell its campus and relocate to [[Yale Divinity School]], after a presence of 190 years on that site.<ref name=RN>{{cite web|url=http://www.religionnews.com/2015/11/13/oldest-u-s-graduate-seminary-to-close-campus-denominations-secularization-andover-theological/|work=Religion News.com|title=Oldest US graduate seminary to close campus|first=G.
