In general this article is well-written and seems to cover the main aspects of Rev. Woodbridge's life and career. A few points I noticed:
Some more wikilinking is required for such words as ecclesiastical, theology, sermon, pastor, seminary, faculty, Dutch Reformed Church, synod, pastoral, didactic, polemic
"While a student at New York University, Woodridge was a member of the secretive, all-male Eucleian Society and be elected to Phi Beta Kappa" - This sentence is not quite right and I don't think it needs to repeat the full name of the university.
Done (20SEP13), rephrased as "As an undergraduate student..."
"In December 1857, Rev. Woodbridge was appointed to the faculty of two schools in New Brunswick, New Jersey-—for 44 years as a professor of ecclesiastical history ..." - I'm sure he was not appointed for a 44 year term so maybe add "he was to serve 44 years" or somesuch.
"During his career, Rev. Woodbridge would receive honorary degrees ..." - Here and elsewhere I would have used a direct construction "During his career, Rev. Woodbridge received honorary degrees ..." but I daresay that is a matter of personal preference in literary style.
