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. 26 Columbia Theological Seminary. Textbooks: Weigle : The Pupil and the Teacher; Law- rance : 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. Columbia Theological Seminary. 27 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. Columbia Theological Seminary. 31 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 : Comparative Statement of Endowment Funds in Securities, Real Estate and Cash on Hand May I , 1915, and May I, 1901 May 1, May 1, 1915. 1901.

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 Columbia Theological Seminary. 37 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." tf ,2 3 3 OJ 00 1 1 = i .2 t" 9 .2 "O S 3 1 3 0) CO 1 1 .2 b 9 .2 "2 c a 1 Junior Theology Middle English Bible Senior Hebrew Senior Hebrew Pedagogy Middle English Bible cni Junior Hebrew Senior English Bible Middle Theology Junior Hebrew Senior English Bible Middle Theology 4> 3 5 - ^ bo ,2 s fa In o o 1 1 5 CO Junior Hebrew Middle Theology Pastoral Theology -1 Senior Theology Middle Homilitics Apologetics $ s O o i - .2 .2 =3 co a b o 00 g -S 1] .2 ^ 9 .2 a 1 Middle Hebrew Senior Church History Apologetics E ,5 > Si g = ^ .2 .2 =3 3 S a b | oo .a E J3 O 13 > 1 1 -, CO <=> b o s 1 o o .2 2 "S "S ey 3 CO Hj o 8 1 O u u O O 1 1 CO - M 1 o> u cj Si J- > < Q CO H 5 H Q 03 w Q Q 02 5 B < Q a P !
