That depends what you mean by "earlier on".

When Berkhof was teaching there, things were quite good still. Both the college and seminary were established in 1876. However, from the 1920s onward, things started a downward trend. In the mid 1960s and 70s the CRC was well entrenched in heretical teachings and quickly fell away. I remember those days well and lamented over what I witnessed during those days. I think R.C. Sproul, Sr., who gave the commencement address at WTS in 1979, was 100% correct when he said that no theological seminary has ever lasted more than 50 years before it plunged into apostasy.
