CONVOCPTION BEGIN6 NEW PCPDEMIC YEPR

With the bright colors of academic
regalia and the dignity of an opening
convocation, Columbia Seminary be-
gan its 151st year in the sanctuary
of the Columbia Presbyterian Church.

In his convocation address entitled
"Doors," President J. Davison Phil-
ips challenged the 77 entering stu-
dents to be sensitive to the words of
Christ written in the third chapter of
the book of Revelation, "I have set
before you an open door."

The new Dean of Academic Af-
fairs, Dr. Oscar Hussel, offered a
prayer of intercession and introduced
the faculty, while the traditional
Columbia pledge was administered by
J. Erskine Love, Jr., the Chairman
of the Board of Directors.

The total enrollment of the Sem-
inary is 318. This figure includes 152
first professional degree students, stu-
dents working on advanced degrees,
special and unclassified students.
Approximately \6% of the student
body are women.

Following the Convocation, the
new students and the entire seminary
community visited in the homes of
faculty members. A real spirit of an-
ticipation and excitement was present
as the new academic year officially
opened.

MILLION DOLLAR GIFT OFFERED

Board Chairman J. Erskine Love, Jr. ad-
ministers pledge to entering students.

A heartening gift of $ 1 ,000,000 to
set up an Endowment Fund for the
maintenance of the physical plant of
Columbia Seminary has been offered
by an anonymous foundation. The
gift is granted on the condition that
the gifts from the Seminary cam-
paigns in the Synods of the Mid-
South and Florida be matched on a
"dollar-for-dollar" ratio.

The annual income from the En-
dowment Fund will be designated for
the preservation and equipping of
the seven major buildings on the
Seminary's 57-acre campus, with
special priority given to the Library
and the Administration Buildings.

In announcing the gift. President
J. Davison Philips stated: "This gen-
erous gift is a splendid evidence of

confidence in the important mission
of Columbia Seminary. It also reveals
the vision and generosity of those
who are making such an investment
in the future ministry of the Church.
We are deeply grateful for this chal-
lenge grant and will do all in our
power to prove worthy of it."

J. Erskine Love, Jr., Chairman of
the Board of Directors, said: "This
endowment is truly an historic event
in the long and useful history of Col-
umbia Seminary. It is the largest
single gift ever received by the Semi-
nary and the challenge it represents
for matching gifts will give us a great
opportunity to appeal to our church
members for increased support as wc
begin Capital Funds Campaigns in
each of our supporting Synods."

Lillian Clinkscales Green, wife of
former Columbia Seminary Professor
James B. Green, died at the age of 86
on October 1. 1978. in Columbia,
South Carolina, after a brief illness.
Born in Starr, South Carolina, she
was a graduate of the Women's Col-
lege at Due West and for some years
before her marriage a teacher of
English at Erskine College.

In his meditation at the Memorial
Service of Mrs. Green, Dr. J. Mc-
Dowell Richards said, "As I have
thought of Mrs. Green there is one
word that comes particularly to my
mind ... it is the word 'loyalty.' Mrs.

Green was loyal to her heritage.

"She was fiercely loyal to Colum-
bia Theological Seminary and made
a great contribution to its life
through her vital part in organizing
and carrying forward the work of the
Columbia Friendship Circle."

President J. Davison Philips stated,
"Mrs. Green's vision in starting and
encouraging the growth of the Col-
umbia Friendship Circle has resulted
in vital, prayerful support throughout
our constituency. It is impossible to
measure the goodwill, the prayers and
the gifts that have come to the Sem-
inary through this fine organization."

Dr. Richards went on to say, "Of
course her most significant contribu-
tion to the Seminary was made as the
helpmeet of one of its greatest pro-
fessors, Dr. James Benjamin Green.

"Mrs. Green was also a loyal and
devoted mother and stepmother. This
same loyalty was manifest in her re-
lationship to her friends. But all of
these loyalties were subject to a high-
er devotion . . . her commitment to
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

Memorial gifts in , Mrs. Green's
name have been received by the Sem-
inary and a named endowment has
been established.

Love Addresses Synod

J. Erskine Love, Jr., Chairman of
the Board of Directors, addressed the
Synod of the Southeast on behalf of
Columbia Seminary at its meeting at
the First Presbyterian Church of At-
lanta on September 20.

Mr. Love shared with the Synod a
layman's view of Columbia Seminary
as seen from his perspective as a
member of the Board of Directors for
nine years, six of those years as its
Chairman. He expressed his gratitude
for God's providence that has pro-
vided sterling leadership and a dedi-
cated faculty for the Seminary for
over a century and a half.

He enumerated the positive and
encouraging signs that have brought
about a resurgence of vitality and in-
terest in Columbia Seminary. He also
informed the Synod that their finan-
cial contribution to the Seminary's
operation is not keeping pace with
inflation. He made a strong appeal to
approve the goal of $4.5 million for
a Capital Funds Campaign in 1980-
81 that is to be used principally for
endowment.

Later in the day the Synod of the
Southeast unanimously adopted the
goal of $4.5 million for the projected
campaign.

PROM the PRE6DENT

Put yourself in the place of a new
student at Columbia Seminary. You
have come through some challenging
and decisive moments in your per-
sonal Christian pilgrimage. You are
now beginning an arduous program

of study and experience in preparing
for ministry. You will be exposed to
lectures, seminars, evaluations, pa-
pers, sermons, books, film, articles,
and, most of all, people. You will
learn theology, history, Bible, ethics,
Church ministry and mission and
many, many aspects of those areas.
You will learn it by doing as well as
listening.

One of the most crucial elements
in the support system sustaining you
as a student is the community of
faith here on campus and at home.
Those of you who care about such
students will never know how much
it means to be nourished by the faith
and support of people like you. All
of us here send you our heartfelt
thanks. Your participation in Candi-
dates Committees, your congregation-
al care, your prayers and your schol-
arship support are invaluable.

Students are under pressure of
work, performance, pilgrimage and
the necessities of daily living. Pray

for them that "as their days are, so
will their strength be."

As you can see from the increased
enrollment of students reported in
this issue of VANTAGE, certain cru-
cial needs have surfaced.

In order to prepare these men and
women for ministry we need more
faculty. The success of the $7,000,000
Capital Funds Campaign in our three
supporting Synods is critical if we are
to continue our high standards of ex-
cellence in theological education and
ministry development. $6,000,000 of
the funds raised will be used for the
Endowment of Faculty Chairs. The
first efforts in the Synod of the Mid-
South appear promising to us.

So, for your partnership in this
great task, I send you heartfelt
thanks.

Faithfully yours,

(^feycd

A VITAL PARTNERSHIP THE COLUMBIA FORUM

The dates of January 30-February
2 have been set for our 1979 Colum-
bia Forum. The new format that
combined the Smyth Lectures, the
Alumni Lectures and preaching by a
Guest Preacher was highly successful
last year and the plan is to build on
this. The Columbia Forum includes
lectures, alumni luncheon, colloquies,
sermons and class reunions.

Mark the dates on your calendar
and plan to be present. Activities will
begin with a meeting of the Alumni
Council on Tuesday afternoon, Jan-
uary 30, and the initial Worship Ser-
vice of the Forum that evening at
cS:00 o'clock at the Columbia Presby-
terian Church.

Dr. Krister Stendahl, a distinguish-
ed New Testament scholar and Dean
of the Harvard Divinity School will
deliver the Smyth Lectures on the
subject, "The Church God's Lab-
oratory for the Kingdom."

COLUMBIA FRIENDSHIP
CIRCLE

Professor Keith and student

One of the most exciting things
that can happen in the life of a semi-
narian is the opportunity to practice
ministry under supervision in the
Church. A partnership between the
Church and Columbia Seminary
clearly exists when a student spends
a summer in the supervised ministry
program.

Associate Professor Jap Keith di-
rects the supervised ministry program
at Columbia and states, "The 'sum-
mer assistant' program leads to an
integration of the first year's curricu-
lum and provides those necessary
experiences that enable the student to
raise appropriate and practical ques-
tions. This program is an essential
part of our curriculum. And the
beauty of it is that the seminary
cannot offer such a program without
the direct involvement of the Church.
This is a fine illustration of the con-
nectional nature of the Church . . .
the courts, the congregation and the
seminary joining in a partnership of
calling, nurturing and learning."

This past summer 38 PCUS con-
gregations experienced the ministry of
a "summer assistant" from Columbia
Seminary. Thirty-eight Sessions con-
curred with the terms of a call and
encouraged their pastors to set aside
many hours for the supervision of fu-
ture ministers of the Church.

Professor Keith observed, "This
kind of partnership occurs every
summer. Thus, we are in constant
need of more 'teaching congregations'
and more 'supervising pastors.' Please
help us circulate the invitation to as
many PCUS congregations as possible
to join this partnership."

Dean Krister Stendahl

Dr. Ralph Winter, formerly on the
faculty of Fuller Theological Semi-
nary and now directing the United
States Center for World Missions in
Pasadena, California, is the Alumni
Lecturer. The title of his lectures will
be announced. They will deal with
the subject of the Church's respon-
sibility to witness and reach out for
Christ.

The Guest Preacher will be Dr.
James Forbes who serves on the fac-
ulty of Union Theological Seminary
in New York.

Informational brochures with a
schedule of Forum events is being
prepared and will be distributed in
December.

Martha Tissington, President; Mrs.
Cora Smith. Vice-President; Mrs.
Anne Wardlaw, Secretary-Historian:
Mrs. Ruth Esche, Parlimentarian.
and Mrs. Virginia Lancaster. Promo-
tion Secretary, has been actively at
work!

First of all. the CFC went over its
1977-78 Goal. The final tallv was
$25,676.79. The CFC designated
these funds to be used for Scholar-
ship Aid for International Students.

Secondly, at its annual "Come Sec
Columbia Day" meeting in April.

1978, the CFC decided on its 1978-
79 Project and Goal. The new Goal
is $30,000 and the new Project in-
volves the sponsorship of Columbia
Fellowships, which are full one-year
scholarships given to promising men
and women who are interested in ex-
ploring the possibilities of the Gospel
ministry. There are currently seven
men and women in the First Year
Class who have received these Fel-
lowships. The CFC believes these
Fellowships will attract top prospec-
tive students and will help both the
Seminary community and the work
of the Church in the days to come.

Finally, the CFC has announced
that its next "Come See Columbia
Day" is set for Thursday, April 5,

1979, on the Seminary campus. This
will be a time for women from the
supporting Synods to meet Columbia
Faculty, Staff and Students, to see
the campus of Columbia and to wor-
ship together. This day will begin
with registration at 9:00 a.m. and will
include a luncheon.

CFC members and others who
are interested are invited and en-
couraged to attend this event.

of Chicago. Presbyterian College
conferred the degree of Doctor of
Literature on him in 1968.

Beginning his ordained ministry
in the Associate Reformed Pres-
byterian Church, Professor McDill
has held pastorates in Russellville,
Arkansas, and Atlanta, Georgia.
He was a Chaplain (Major) in the
Army in 1942-46. He has con-

ous, academic and professional
groups.

President J. Davison Philips of
Columbia Seminary stated, "In ac-
cepting Dr. McDill's resignation,
we do so with genuine regret. His
colleagues here and throughout the
Pastoral Counseling field, recog-
nize his exceptional gifts of mind
and ability as a teacher, counselor
and preacher. He has helped to
create for Columbia, the Church,
the City of Atlanta, and the Na-
tion the leading programs and or-
ganizations in this field. We are all
indebted to him for his leadership
and contributions. We wish him
well as he enters another chapter
in life with a lessening of demand-
ing duties."

Dr. McDill is presently involved
in completing some projects in the
area of writing and counseling. He
has plans to make himself avail-
able to counsel, lecture and preach

SCHOLARSHIP FUND
ESTABLISHED

Dr. John R. McCain, who died on
July 20, 1978, has been honored by
the establishment of a Memorial
Scholarship Fund that bears his name
at Columbia Theological Seminary.

Dr. McCain was a distinguished
physician who was Chief of the De-
partment of Gynecology and Obstet-
rics at Crawford W. Long Hospital
and a Professor in the Department of
Gynecology and Obstetrics at Emory
University.

THE COLLEGE
CONFERENCE
ON MINISTRY

February 16-18, 1979

Dr. McCain was a much respected
leader in the Decatur Presbyterian
Church and the physician of many of
the wives of the Seminary commun-
ity. He taught young people in
Church School and served on the
Board of the Career Development
Center in Decatur.

In commenting on the establish-
ment of the Memorial Scholarship
Fund in a letter to Dr. Philips, Mrs.
McCain said, "1 think it is a per-
fect way to remember John. Thank
you for initiating this at the Semi-
nary. As I thought about it, I couldn't
think of another group of people that
he had known and cared for as much
as the wives of students and faculty
at Columbia Seminary. They taught
him a great deal about the problems
of both ministers and their wives.
Thank you very much."

Dr. Janus D. Newsome

More and more ministers are pur-
suing advanced degrees to increase
their skills in ministry and thus offer
greater service to the Church. Colum-
bia Seminary offers three advanced
degrees: the DOCTOR OF MINIS-
TRY (a program oriented toward the
practical in which a person may
sharpen their over-all ministerial
skills while pursuing an interest in
one or more specialized areas); the
DOCTOR OF THEOLOGY (a de-
gree program in pastoral counseling);
and the MASTER OF THEOLOGY
(an advanced academic program with
concentration in the Biblical, histor-
ical-doctrinal, or pastoral area).

Dr. James D. Newsome, Director
of Advanced Studies, reports that
Columbia Seminary is now providing
several opportunities to work toward
the D.Min. degree off campus. He
stated: "The Seminary is taking
steps to carry much of the work of
the D.Min. degree off the campus
and to places where ministers live
and labor. This fall, D.Min. exten-
sion work will be underway on the
campus of Presbyterian College, Clin-
ton, South Carolina, and in Savannah
Presbytery. Special D.-Min. courses
of two-week duration are also offered
on the Seminary campus during Jan-
uary of each year and during the
Summer Session."

MID-SOUTH CAMPAIGN
UNDERWAY

In a joint statement announcing the
1978-79 Capital Funds Campaign in
the Synod of the Mid-South, Presi-
dent J. Davison Philips and President
C. Ellis Nelson of Louisville said:

"We can see no way we can move
confidently into the future under our
great responsibility unless we can ob-
tain endowment funds that will con-
tinue to support theological education
and ministry development year after
year after year."

The Synod of the Mid-South has
embarked on the first Capital Funds
Campaign since it was formed in
1973, with a goal of $2.5 million to
help secure the future of theological
education.

Although Synod has plans to di-
vide the proceeds of the campaign
using the formula of 72% for Louis-
ville and 28% of Columbia, congre-
gations and individuals are granted
the privilege of designating their gifts
for one Seminary without equaliza-
tion.

During the Fall of 1978, presby-
teries throughout the Synod are or-
ganizing themselves to carry out the
objectives of the Campaign. Leader-
ship gifts are currently being sought
from a selected number of individuals

and foundations in advance of the
church-wide opportunity that will be
provided beginning in January, 1979.
Presbytery committees are currently
sponsoring Informational Meetings in
key areas to prepare leadership to
carry the challenge to local churches.

Columbia Seminary seeks the pray-
ers of the Church as we launch the
first of three phases in our capital
funds effort to raise $7,000,000. The
Synod of Florida Campaign, to be
held during 1979-80, has a goal of
$1.5 million. The Campaign for the
Synod of the Southeast is scheduled
for 1980-81 with a goal of $4.5
million.

sponded to an invitation from Col-
umbia Seminary to serve as a part-
time Field Representative of the Sem-
inary.

In announcing this appointment,
President J. Davison Philips stated:
"Mr. Bailey brings to Columbia Sem-
inary a wealth of experience and dis-
tinguished service in the Presbyterian

more visible in the life of our con-
stituency. In addition to visiting pres-
byteries and making personal con-
tacts, he will be available to visit and
preach in our churches."

Mr. Bailey is an honorably retired
minister of the PCUS and he con-
tinues his membership in the Presby-
tery of North Alabama. He and his
wife, Jane, are now living in Decatur.
The Baileys have three sons. Their
youngest son, David, is a first year
