DEPA R TMENTS OF INS TR UCTION

Old Testament Literature and Exegesis

Professor McPheeters.

The aim of this department is to put the student in a posi-
tion that will enable him to use to advantage the original
Hebrew in his efforts to interpret the Scriptures of the Old
Testament. Special emphasis is laid upon the mastery of
the principles of Hebrew Etymology and Syntax; the
acquisition of a copious vocabulary ; the formation and cul-
tivation of those mental habits which condition a correct
exegesis ; and the acquiring of sound principles of interpre-
tation and of a knowledge of the several branches of inter-
pretation.

The work attempted is determined by the end in view.
In the Junior Class the emphasis is laid upon securing a
working vocabulary, a thorough grounding in etymology,
and an initial acquaintance with the syntax of the verb. In
the Middle and Senior Classes the object chiefly aimed at is
to perfect the student's knowledge of syntax, and to ground
him in the knowledge and drill him in the application of
sound principles of interpretation.

The matter and the extent of the courses in the Middle
and Senior Classes vary somewhat from year to year to
meet the varying needs and attainments of different classes.

The leading topics of General Introduction, such as the
Canon, the Text and Archaeology, are taken up and dis-
cussed in their connections ; as are also such subjects as the
Higher Criticism, Prophecy, and Old Testament Theology.

Upon request, detailed information will be furnished to
anyone desiring it, as to what will be the special features
of the work to be done in any of the classes for the coming
session.

18 Columbia Theological Seminary.

New Testament Literature and Exegesis

Professor White.

In the study of the New Testament it is assumed that
each student who enters the Seminary has acquired a knowl-
edge of the grammatical forms and structure (syntax) of
the Greek language, and that he can translate simple Attic
prose at sight. All of those who propose to enter this field
of work in the Seminary are advised to add to their knowl-
edge of classical Greek an acquaintance with some of the
narrative portions of the Greek New Testament.

Junior Class

The work in this class is based upon a careful study of the
Greek text of the four Gospels. Special attention is given
to the principles of Greek Etymology and Syntax, and the
application of these principles in connection with the inter-
pretation of the text. In connection with this the class
studies the life of Christ on the basis of the Gospels, atten-
tion being given to their characteristics and the harmony
of their narratives. The student is expected to read the
biographies of Christ by Hanna, Andrews, Edersheim and
others. The subjects connected with General Introduction,
the Canon, the Greek text of the New Testament, and the
principles of textual criticism, are taught in a series of lec-
tures. Each student is expected to use the working library
of the Seminary in the preparation of papers upon assigned
topics.

Middle Class

The work of the Middle Class begins with the exegesis of
the Greek text of the Book of Acts. The class makes a
careful study of the principles involved in the planting of
the Christian Church, and the doctrines set forth in the
early discourses of the Apostles. In this work is included
the exegesis of the Epistle of James. This is followed by

Columbia Theological Seminary. 19

a critical interpretation of selected portions of First and
Second Thessalonians, Galatians, and First and Second
Corinthians, with a study of the subjects connected with the
authorship and date of Acts and the early espistles. The
working library is used by each member of the class in the
preparation of special papers.

Senior Class

The doctrinal teaching of the Apostles is the principal
subject of study in the Senior Class. This includes the
translation and critical exegesis of the later epistles of the
Apostle Paul, beginning with a careful and extended study
of the Epistle to the Romans. This is followed by a study
of selected portions of the Epistle to the Hebrews, the
Epistles of the Apostle Peter and the Epistles and the
Revelation of the Apostle John. The subjects connected
with Special Introduction are treated in a series of lectures.
In addition to this work, the class enters upon the discussion
of some of the subjects embraced in the Biblical Theology
of the New Testament. Special papers prepared by the
members of the class are made the subject of discussion in
the classroom. The Greek New Testament is used as a
textbook in the classroom in each of the three classes
throughout the session. Each student is expected to become
familiar with the various commentaries found on the shelves
of the working library.

Didactic and Polemic Theology

Professor Whaling.

The study of Systematic Theology is begun in the Junior
year, and prosecuted through the Middle and Senior years.

Junior Class

This class is occupied with the philosophic postulates
which underlie Systematic Theology. The first term is

20 Columbia Theological Seminary.

devoted to the philosophy of religion as exhibited in the
Biblical psychology and metaphysics. The relation of rea-
son and faith, of knowledge and belief are carefully pre-
sented. The second term is devoted to a critical and histori-
cal study of the principal philosophical systems current at
the present time ; namely, Naturalism, Idealism, Pragmatism
and Realism. The errors involved in these systems are
pointed out and contrasted with the sound philosophy which
underlies the Scriptures.

Middle Class

The Middle Class begins with Introductory Theology,
embracing the definition of theology, and the method of its
distribution, the source of theology or the rule of faith and
duty, and the inspiration of the Scriptures. The class then
passes to the Theology of Natural Religion, comprising
such topics as the names, nature and attributes of God, the
trinity, the decrees, creation, providence, angels, man, the
will of man in innocence, the covenant of works, the fall,
original sin, the pollution and guilt of sin.

Senior Class

The Senior Class studies the Theology of Redemption,
comprising such topics as election, the mediator, the cove-
nant of grace, the person of Christ, the mediatorial offices
and estates, vocation, grace, regeneration, faith, justifica-
tion, repentance, adoption, sanctification, prayer, the means
of grace, and the last things.

The textbooks are the Westminster Symbols and Charles
Hodge's Systematic Theology. During the course every
statement of the Confession of Faith and the Larger and
Shorter Catechisms is examined in the classroom. The
method of teaching is by recitation, textbook and lectures,
combined with written digests prepared by the student upon
the professor's request.

Columbia Theological Seminary. 21

Christian Ethics and Apologetics

Professor Kerr.

Apologetics
Junior Class

This course aims to show the reasonableness and author-
ity of the Christian religion. It treats of and compares the
Christian and anti-Christian theories of the universe, show-
ing the Christian to be preferable on both Scriptural and
philosophical grounds. The other general questions of
apologetics are also treated.

Instruction is by textbook and lectures. Three hours a
week.

Christian Ethics
Senior Class

This course shows the nature and content of the Chris-
tian ethical ideal, its authority, and its superiority to all
other standards. It deals with Christian duties both toward
God and toward man, and in individual and social relations.
Its aim is to put into practical life the teaching of the Spirit
of Christ, "to live according to Christianity."

Instruction is by textbook, lecture and discussion. Three
hours a week.

Ecclesiastical History and Church Polity

Professor Reed.

Junior Class

The class begins with a short course in Biblical Geography
in order to acquire a familiar knowledge of the land in
which the Church had its birth. The knowledge of geog-
raphy is deemed important as giving vividness and a sense
of reality to history.

22 Columbia Theological Seminary.

From Pentecost the class follows the unfolding of the
Church's history to the culminating point of the Middle
Ages. The contrast is noted between the persecuted Church
under the Pagan Emperors, and the persecuting Church
under the Christian Emperors. Another striking change is
considered, that of form, from Presbytery to Episcopacy.
The early councils receive attention, especially as the sources
of our creeds and theologies. The disintegration of the
Roman Empire under the impact of barbarism, and the
conversion of these barbarous tribes to Christianity fur-
nish a study of much interest.

Middle Class

During this year the class follows the course of the
Church's history to the close of the Reformation Period.
Interest centers in the complicated relations of Church and
State, and the struggle resulting therefrom; the climax of
the Papal power; its Mohammedan method of propagan-
dism ; the development of doctrinal perversions and adminis-
trative abuses; the crusades; the Renaissance; the increas-
ing degeneracy of the Church; the waning power of the
Pope; the many elements of discontent, preparing the way
for and prophesying the revolt of the 16th century.

Senior Class

With the Reformation the history of the Church becomes
more complicated. The Protestant Church splits into
national branches, and into many minor bodies. Some
attention is given to the whole field of the Church's history,
both in the East and in the West; but special attention is
given during the Senior year to the Presbyterian and
Reformed churches of all countries. The great Wesleyan
Revival with its consequences on both sides of the Atlantic
is considered; also the origin and expansion of the many
religious denominations in the United States.

Columbia Theological Seminary. 23

The method of teaching throughout the whole course is
by textbooks with supplemental lectures.

Church Polity is studied during the second term of the
middle year. In addition to a series of oral lectures, discuss-
ing certain general principles, instruction is given in connec-
tion with the Book of Church Order, and Dr. Witherow's
"Which is the Apostolic Church." Church Polity is empha-
sized as a matter of no inconsiderable importance.

Natural Science in Connection With Revelation
and Christian Apologetics

This chair is vacant for the present. Its field is partially
occupied by Professor Whaling in Philosophy, Professor
Kerr in Apologetics, and Professors White and McPheeters
in Introduction and Criticism.

The English Bible, Homiletics and Pastoral
Theology

Professor Reavis.

The English Bible

The object in this course is to teach the theology and the
ethics of the sacred scriptures, and to present them in the
form in which they are developed in the word of God. The
mastery of the doctrinal and ethical contents of the divine
revelation is the ideal pursued. The principle which lies
at the foundation of this study is that there can be no sub-
stitute for biblical theology and biblical ethics which furnish
the substance and material of the minister's message.

Junior Class

The Pentateuch and historical books of the Old Testa-
ment are studied in the American Revised Version. The
method is by lecture, syllabus of the professor, and the Bible

24 Columbia Theological Seminary.

itself as the textbook. The class meets two hours each
week during both terms.

Middle Class

The Psalms, the Wisdom literature and the Major and
Minor Prophets are studied by the use of the same methods
that are employed in all the classes. The class meets two
hours a week.

Senior Class

The Gospels, the books of Acts, the Epistles and the
Apocalypse are all studied in order to lead each student to
formulate for himself their doctrinal and ethical content.
The class meets three hours a week.

Homiletics

Junior Class

One hour a week is given throughout the entire session
to Homiletics. When the class has acquired some theo-
retical knowledge of sermonizing from the textbook, they
are required to put the knowledge into practice in making
briefs of sermons. The briefs are submitted to the pro-
fessor, who gives the class the benefit of his criticism.

Middle Class

The course in Homiletics is continued, with special refer-
ence to methods of Personal Work.

Pastoral Theology

Senior Class

One hour a week, throughout the entire session, is given
to lectures and discussions on Pastoral Theology. This
course takes cognizance of the duties and relations of the
minister, other than those connected directly with the prep-
aration and delivery of sermons.

Columbia Theological Seminary. 25

Special Course in Missions

Professor Reavis.

This special course in Missions is designed to accomplish
the twofold purpose, first, of preparing future missionaries
to understand the history, problems and philosophy of Mis-
sions so as to be practically and wisely guided in their serv-
ice in the foreign field; and second, to prepare those stu-
dents whose ministerial work is to be at home for co-opera-
tion in all the forms of the Mission enterprise. The course
covers the history of Missions, the present condition and
problems presented on the field, and the relation of the
Church at home to the work. In addition, the subject of
Comparative Religion is expounded and Christianity is
proved to be the absolute religion in contrast with Buddhism,
Confucianism, Mohammedanism and other false systems.

The method of teaching is by lecture, textbook, recitation,
and written digests made by students.

Textbooks for current year: William's "In Four Conti-
nents;" Mott's "Decisive Hour of Christian Missions;"
Speer's "Missions and Modern History;" Morris's "At Our
Own Door ;" Weatherford's "Negro Problem in the South."
Comparative Religion is taught by lectures exclusively.

The Pedagogy of the Sunday School

Professor Reavis.

The aim of this course is to adapt the general principles
of education to the special work of the Sunday School.

After a survey of the historical bearings of the Sunday
School, the nature of the pupil is studied with some full-
ness. Then the following topics are treated : The curricu-
lum, the principles of method as applied to the Sunday
School, the organization, management, government, pro-
gram, external relations and general means of success of
the Sunday School.

Elocution

Professor Fulbright.

The purpose of the work in this department is to train
the student in the art of proper and effective oral expres-
sion; to render his thoughts naturally and forcefully; to
read intelligently; to use his voice and body to the best
advantage; to eliminate mannerisms and faults, both in
speech and action.

Delivery is not here considered as mere physical perform-
ance. Rather it is the liberation of thought and feeling
through the voice and body. This implies that there must
be the proper co-ordination between the actions of mind,
voice and body. To improve delivery mental processes
must first be stimulated. In connection with this the voice
and body must be so trained as to be responsive to all think-
ing. Technical and psychic exercises are necessary, and
much careful and earnest practice on the part of the student.

Proper exercises are given for strengthening the voice
and for improving the quality. The primary modulations
of the speaking voice are taught and insisted on from the
beginning. Articulation and pronunciation are not neg-
lected. Much consideration is paid to platform and pulpit
deportment.

Passages from the best literature are read in class, stu-
dents receiving the teacher's criticism. The importance of
interpretative reading of the Scriptures is especially
emphasized and the students are required to prepare a num-
ber of different selections for reading in class work. Les-
sons are given on certain chapters of the Scriptures as
illustrative of the methods to be used by the preacher in
interpreting the whole Bible. Especial attention is paid to
the reading of hymns.

Annual Course of Lectures on the Thomas Smyth
Foundation

Through the generosity of the late Thomas Smyth, D. D.,
of Charleston, South Carolina, a Seminary lectureship has
been established called the Thomas Smyth Foundation. In
accordance with the conditions of the bequest, some person
who is of worthy character and distinguished for learning
and ability is chosen each year by the Board of Directors
and the Faculty of the Columbia Theological Seminary to
deliver a course of lectures before the students of the Sem-
inary. This series of lectures will deal from year to
year with the fundamental principles of the Christian faith.

The funds bequeathed to the institution by Dr. Smyth
to found this lectureship, according to the terms of the
bequest, were allowed to accumulate until they amounted to
$10,000. For the past six years distinguished lecturers
have filled this lectureship, treating a large variety of themes,
doctrinal, critical, practical, archaeological and historical.
Theological literature will be enriched by the growing
volumes which contain these lectures.

Post-Graduate Work

For those who desire to continue their course of study
for a longer time than the regular period of three years, or
for those who wish to take special studies, no fixed curric-
ulum is prescribed, but each student is free to devote him-
self to those branches which he wishes specially to pursue.
Such students may attend any of the regular classes, or they
may pursue advanced courses of study and conduct original
investigation under the guidance of the professors in the
Seminary.

Optional Courses

No regular recitations are conducted on Monday. This
makes it convenient to introduce optional courses for

28 Columbia Theological Seminary.

students who wish to equip themselves in a manner more
complete and thorough than that which is permitted by the
regular curriculum. On request, such courses will be pro-
vided by the professors of the several departments.

The professor will reserve the right to say whether any
applicant shall take a desired course, basing his judgment
upon the recognized ability of the student and the proba-
bility of interference with his regular work. He reserves
the further right to determine, from the number making
application, whether the course shall be offered.

The University of South Carolina is located in the city
of Columbia. This large institution extends to the students
of the Columbia Theological Seminary the privilege of
pursuing any of the courses of study offered in the univer-
sity without payment of tuition or other fees.

Examinations

At the close of each term written examinations are held
upon all the subjects studied during the term. The written
examinations are submitted to the synodical examiners and
to the Board for their inspection, and are then transmitted
to the Presbyteries. "No member of the Seminary shall be
absent from the examination of his class; and, in case of
the absence of any student, he shall be examined by the
Faculty at the commencement of the next term; and if his
examination be not satisfactory, he shall be required to
make up the deficiency, otherwise he may not proceed with
the class." Constitution.

On a scale of 100, 75 is the minimum required in each
subject to pass from a lower to a higher class, and also for
graduation.

Reports to Presbyteries

Reports are sent bi-monthly to Presbyteries concerning
the attendance of the students upon the exercises of the

Columbia Theological Seminary. 29

Seminary, and concerning their general deportment, dili-
gence and standing in study.

Rhetorical Exercises

In addition to the regular instruction in sacred Rhetoric,
exercises in preaching are held under the direction of the
Faculty.

Once a fortnight, original sermons of about fifteen min-
utes in length are delivered in the presence of the Faculty
and students. Criticism is invited from all present, the
purpose of which is to remove blemishes of matter, manner
and style. Usually two students speak at each meeting.

Once a month there is a debate upon some subject chosen
by the students, the aim of which is to cultivate originality
of thought and readiness of speech. The Faculty is present
during the debate, and one of the members of the Faculty
presides.

Religious Culture

Chapel. Daily prayers, which every student is required
to attend, are conducted in the chapel every morning by a
member of the Senior Class, and in the afternoon by a
member of the Faculty.

Weekly Conference. Each Friday afternoon, begin-
ning at 5 o'clock, the Faculty and students meet in the Sem-
inary chapel and engage in devotional exercises, conducted
by a member of the Faculty. This preliminary service is
followed by preaching or by a debate on the part of some
of the students ; on the fourth Friday in each month, how-
ever, an address is made by a member of the Faculty upon
some subject connected with personal piety, methods of
study, Biblical interpretation, or Church life and doctrine.

Sessions

The Seminary year begins on Wednesday after the third
Monday in September, and ends on the Sunday before the

30 Columbia Theological Seminary.

second Monday in May. For the convenience of some of
the classes and for presbyterial reports, the session is divided
into two terms, the first of which ends on the last Saturday
in January, and the second begins on the following Tues-
day.

Terms of Admission

The Seminary is open to students of every evangelical
denomination. Every Presbyterian student entering the
Seminary is required to present a statement from his Pres-
bytery, to the effect that he has permission to enter the Sem-
inary, and specifying the course he is expected to take.
Representatives of other denominations must furnish the
Faculty with satisfactory testimonials of being in full com-
munion with some Christian Church, and of having been
regularly educated at some college or university; or, in the
absence of such testimonials, the ministerial candidate must
satisfy the Faculty, by examination, that he is qualified to
enter upon a course of study in preparation for the Gospel
ministry.

All students, on entering the Seminary, are required to
subscribe to the following declaration : "Deeply impressed
with a sense of the importance of improving in knowledge,
prudence and piety, preparatory to the Gospel ministry, I
solemnly promise, in reliance on divine grace, that I will
faithfully and diligently attend to all the instructions of this
Seminary, and that I will conscientiously and vigilantly
observe the rules and regulations specified in the Constitu-
tion, and also obey all the lawful requisitions, and readily
yield to all wholesome admonitions of the professors of the
Seminary, while I shall continue a member of it."

It is desirable that Presbyterian students should connect
themselves with a Presbytery before coming to the Semi-
nary. Students from other seminaries will be admitted ad
eundetn on presenting a regular certificate of dismission
from the seminary previously attended.

Society of Missionary Inquiry. This society meets
on alternate Tuesday evenings, and holds a separate busi-
ness meeting once a month. It proves a power in awaken-
ing and sustaining interest in missions, and takes practical
oversight of local mission work. The society is divided into
a number of Mission Study Classes, each class using a dif-
ferent textbook, treating a different phase of missions.

Mission Work. The city of Columbia offers many
opportunities for religious work and training. There are
two mission churches in the suburbs. There are three cot-
ton mill villages, where mission work may be conducted.
There is abundance of opportunity for teaching and preach-
ing among the colored people. Prayer meetings, house-to-
house visitations, Sunday schools and preaching services
are conducted by the students in various parts of the city
and the adjacent country.

Regular Preaching. Students of the Middle and
Senior Classes are allowed, with the consent of the Presby-
teries concerned, when it does not conflict with their Semi-
nary duties, to supply vacant churches in South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. Nearly all of the territory
embraced within these and other adjacent States is easily
accessible to the students of this Seminary.

Location and Buildings

The Seminary is located near the center of the city of
Columbia, the capital of South Carolina. The city, with a
population of about 50,000, is situated on heights overlook-
ing the Congaree River, and is noted for the beauty of its
site, its broad and well-shaded streets, its excellent natural
drainage, its quiet and refined society. It is one of the most
important railway and educational centers in the Southern
States. Possessing an excellent public school system,
Columbia is also the seat of the University of South Caro-
lina, the Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Presbyterian
College for Women, the Methodist Female College and sev-

32 Columbia Theological Seminary.

eral Business Colleges. In recent years Columbia has
entered upon a career of steady, if not, indeed, phenomenal
development. The establishment of large manufacturing
enterprises in the various suburbs of the city means not
only increased material prosperity for the city, but enlarged
opportunities for mission work by the students of the Semi-
nary.

Columbia is one of the leading winter resorts of our
country. It is located in the same great pine belt in which
Camden and Aiken, famous winter resorts, are situated.
The climate is one of the most delightful in the world.

The Seminary occupies a beautiful square of four acres
in the heart of the residence portion of the city. Just across
the street from the Seminary are located the beautiful
grounds surrounding the Presbyterian College for Women.
Only one square from the Seminary stands the handsome
new tourist hotel, The Colonia.

The first and second floors of the central building on the
Seminary grounds are used for lecture rooms and offices.
The third floor is used for the books of the library. This
building is flanked by the two dormitories, Law Hall and
Simons Hall. Each of these dormitories has twenty-four
rooms, commodious, well ventilated and lighted. The
rooms are kept in a thoroughly cleansed and wholesome con-
dition, and each room is supplied with a complete set of
furniture, a carpet, and necessary linen and bedding. By
the aid of generous friends of the Seminary, the rooms in
both of these dormitories have been recently equipped with
new furnishings. The Chapel is the small brick building on
the east side of the square; the Dining Hall is on the west
side a new two-story brick building.

Historical Sketch

The Columbia Seminary was founded in 1828 by the
Synod of South Carolina and Georgia, which occupied the
territory now embracing the three Synods of South Caro-

Columbia Theological Seminary. 33

lina, Georgia and Florida, so that these other Synods when
they were formed assumed for themselves the covenant
relations entered into by their forefathers. The Synod of
Alabama entered into the same compact in 1857. Dr.
Thomas Goulding, of Georgia, was elected the first profes-
sor in 1828. In January, 1830, he and his students removed
from Georgia to Columbia. In January, 1831, the present
central building was occupied and Dr. George Howe was
elected his associate in the Faculty. Two years later
(1833), Dr. A. W. Leland was appointed to the Chair of
Theology. In 1834, Dr. Goulding retired and his chair,
that of Ecclesiastical History and Polity, was filed by the
election of Dr. Charles Colcock Jones (1836). A few
years afterwards, Dr. Benjamin M. Palmer was appointed
to the work of teaching Ecclesiastical History and Polity
(1853), and Dr. James H. Thornwell was assigned to the
Chair of Didactic and Polemic Theology (1856). During
these years of early growth, a generous fund for the endow-
ment of the Seminary was contributed by the supporting
Synods. In 1854, Simons Hall was erected through the
liberality of Mrs. E. L. Simons, of Charleston, and in 1855
Mrs. Agnes Law, of Columbia, provided for the erection of
the dormitory that bears her name.

The establishment of this Seminary in Columbia, in
1828, was the practical recognition, by the fathers of that
day, of the fact that they owed something to their genera-
tion and something also to those who were to come after
them. Looking around them, they saw fields white to the
harvest. An increasing population with pressing spiritual
needs was filling the boundaries of both South Carolina and
Georgia. Looking ahead of them into the future, the
fathers of that day foresaw that time would make the call
for efficient laborers in this field only the more urgent.
Their children, even then, had begun to turn their eyes west-
ward. The States of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana
were being settled by those whose antecedents were in South

34 Columbia Theological Seminary.

Carolina and Georgia. The Christian people of these two
States followed with eager interest not only the material,
but also the spiritual progress of those who had gone out
from them, and were still of them.

In the narrative of the Synod of South Carolina and
Georgia for the year 1832, four years after the Seminary
opened its doors, the following statement occurs :

"It is to be hoped that the period is not far distant when
this school of the prophets to which principally our Churches
look for the successors of those who are removed from the
Ministry by death for the pastors who are to break the
bread of life among our numerous unsupplied Churches,
shall be so amply furnished by Christian liberality with the
means of imparting a complete Theological Education, that
it shall not be behind similar institutions to which the
Churches in other parts of our land look for their spiritual
guides."

Library

The Library contains about 25,000 volumes, mostly theo-
logical. In it are incorporated the larger parts of the
libraries of Rev. Thomas Smyth, D. D., Rev. John Doug-
lass, Rev. George Howe, D. D., and Rev. S. Beach Jones,
D. D. New books are being continually added from a
rather small fund for the purpose, as well as by gift. The
libraries of the professors, amounting to several thousand
volumes, are accessible to the students.

The Smyth Reference Library Rooms, located in Simons
Hall, have been fitted up in handsome style by Miss Sarah
Ann Smyth and the Ladies' Society of the Second Church,
Charleston. In one of these rooms are kept the books
needed for daily reference. In the other are found some
of the daily newspapers, with a number of the leading
monthly magazines. The rooms are furnished with electric
lights.

Columbia Theological Seminary. 35

The Society of Missionary Inquiry holds its regular meet-
ings in the J. Leighton Wilson Memorial Room. This
room contains a small library of books on missions, and an
interesting collection of curios from heathen lands.

Expenses

There are no tuition fees and no charges for room-rent.
The Seminary furnishes tableware and linen, and pays the
salary of the Matron. Good board is furnished to the
students at actual cost. Meals are served in the Seminary
dining hall, which is under the careful supervision of the
Matron, Miss Mary Frazee.

By a special arrangement books are purchased at a rea-
sonable rate, directly from the publishers. Some textbooks
can be obtained from the Library. Washing can be had
at $1.25 per month. Traveling expenses of students, upon
first entering the Seminary, are paid when necessary; and
further assistance is given to students from scholarships,
and from the students' fund, so far as it will allow. The
student requiring such assistance must bring from the chair-
man of education in his Presbytery a written statement of
the amount he will need for the session to supplement what
he has available for his support.

Gifts to the Seminary Library

The Seminary has recently received as a gift from the
family of Rev. J. William Flinn, D. D., deceased, an honored
alumnus of the institution, the books formerly owned and
used by Dr. Flinn. This valuable collection of books con-
tains a large number of standard works on Philosophy,
Logic, and Ethics. This collection includes also a consider-
able number of books which once formed a part of the
library of Dr. Thomas Smyth, of Charleston, S. C. All
of these volumes have been placed in a room on the first
floor of the main building on the Seminary grounds, and
are known as the Flinn Annex to the Smyth Library.

36 Columbia Theological Seminary.

The First Presbyterian Church, Montgomery, Alabama,
has donated to the Columbia Seminary the collection of
books once the property of a former pastor, Rev. David
Finley, D. D.

The Financial Resources of the Seminary

The resources of the Seminary have been steadily increas-
ing for a number of years. They are still insufficient, how-
ever, to meet the pressing demands of the institution by
reason of the enlarged attendance of students, and the
increase in the number of the members of the Faculty made
necessary to prepare for the most effective service. The
Board of Directors has informed the General Assembly
and the Church that an additional endowment fund of
$100,000 is required to maintain the Seminary upon its pres-
ent plane of efficiency. The following table will exhibit
the growth of the Seminary's endowment fund during the
past fifteen years :

Pressing Needs of the Seminary

1. The first and greatest need of the Seminary is
scholarship funds providing for the support of the largely
increased number of students who are now coming to this
institution. A considerable number of scholarships yield-
ing at least $100 each per year should be provided. It is

hoped that generous friends will find here an opportunity
for wise beneficence. Perhaps no more attractive method
of providing an enduring memorial for some beloved rela-
tive could be found than to establish a scholarship of $1,000
to $2,000 for this purpose.

2. There is need of a fireproof library building. The
Smyth Library has no equal in the South, and perhaps no
superior in the United States, in the field of Puritan
Theology as expounded by British writers. It would be an
unpardonable sin to allow these riches, which no amount of
money could ever duplicate, to be destroyed by fire. The
Church cannot excuse herself on any ground for failure to
do this at an early date.

3. There should be a larger and more commodious Chapel
of brick or stone. The present unsightly and inconvenient
building has served its purpose already too long. The com-
mencement exercises must be held elsewhere and no special
exercise which would involve a considerable attendance of
people can be held because of the small size of the building.

4. There is room for a variety of lectureships, fellow-
ships and other special foundations.

5. Small gifts of books, maps, charts, casts for the library
and the lecture rooms and supplies for the boarding hall are
always gratefully received.

Form of Bequest

The proper form of a bequest is as follows :

"To the Board of Directors of the Theological Seminary
of the Synods of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and
Florida of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, to
them and their successors, I give and bequeath the sum of

(or I devise a certain parcel or tract of

land, etc.), to be applied by them to the uses and benefit of
said Seminary, as follows, etc."
