Thomas Goulding, D. D., as its first professor. For two years Dr. Goulding conducted the work, chiefly propaedutic, in the Presbyterian manse at Lexing- ton, Ga. In 1830 the Seminary was removed to Columbia, S. C, and the Faculty complemented by the election of Dr. George Howe and Dr. Aaron W. Leland. Located in the center of South Carolina's capital, the Columbia campus was most attractive. It holds a place in the affection of every one of the thousand students who in the past hun- dred years have attended the Seminary. The old Chapel (page 4) still symbolizes the sanctity which was there so eloquently inculcated. It is remembered as the place where Woodrow Wilson was "reborn for eternity"; and where the Southern Presbyterian Book of Church Order was written. While located in the city whose name she will ever bear, Columbia Seminary numbered among her Faculty and alumni many dis- tinguished leaders of thought and life in the Southern Presbyterian Church. Indeed, the great distinctivities of our denomination were largely coined and minted there. Any mention of our polity im- mediately recalls the name of James Henley Thornwell; any con- sideration of the principle of the spirituality of the Church brings up the shade of Benjamin M. Palmer; while the missionary idealism and enterprise of our Church have been incarnated in James Leighton Wilson of Columbia's Society of Missionary Inquiry. Recently Dr. S. M. Tenney, the best authority on Southern Presbyterian history, has written: "The fruit of your study, well substantiated, is that Columbia Seminary has influenced the life of the Southern Presbyterian far more than any other institution, and that is saying much, and yet not so much as the facts you bring forward say." The Seminary has always maintained the highest standard of academic requirements. Recently it has taken the lead in insisting upon an earned doctor's degree from one of our leading universities for its incoming professors. In recent years a strong conviction developed in the Columbia ter- ritory that a re-location of the institution was necessary. At the time of the location in Columbia that city was near the center of the Presbyterian population of the Southeast. The development of the Gulf States and the shifting of the center of our constituency made necessary the removal of the Seminary further to the West in order Columbia Theological Seminary 13 to accomplish the orginal purpose for which the institution was founded, namely: "to light up another sun which shall throw further West the light of the Gospel." In the fall of 1924 the controlling Synods of Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, on recommendation of the Board of Directors, decided to remove the Seminary to Atlanta. Immediately following this decision the Synod of Mississippi accepted the invita- tion of her sister Synods to unite in the ownership and control of the Seminary. Atlanta Presbyterians provided a 57-acre campus upon the hills of Decatur. During the presidency of Dr. R. T. Gillespie two theologi- cal buildings, unsurpassed in the Presbyterian world, and four facul- ty homes, were erected. In 1928 the Centennial of the founding of the Seminary was cele- brated during Commencement week, with the gracious participation of the Atlanta General Assembly. In 1931 the Seminary's Society of Missionary Inquiry celebrated its Centennial with addresses by Dr. Darby Fulton, '15, and Dr. J. 0. Reavis, professor from 1913 to 1920; and a pageant representing the organization of the Society and the century of its accomplishments. The wisdom of removing the Seminary to Atlanta has been fully- justified by the success with which the removal has been accomplish- ed and by the enthusiasm with which the Church throughout our con- stituency has rallied to the support of her Seminary. The outlook for the future development of the Seminary, and for the enlarge- ment of its program to meet the ever increasing need of the Church, is most encouraging. The spirit of the old Columbia is being written into the life of the new. In the light of modern scholarship the students of today are gaining clear intellectual apprehensions of the great truths of the fathers. The romance of Columbia's yesterdays presages the reality of her tomorrows. SOME RECENT GIFTS The Charles Edward Apartments in Columbia, S. C. became the property of Columbia Seminary on the death of Mrs. Henry Alex- ander White, an annuitant. This property is valued at $40,000.00, and increases the supporting assets of the institution to that extent. The income from this property will be used toward the support of the Henry Alexander White Chair of New Testament Literature and Exegesis, now occupied by Dr. S. A. Cartledge. The Thomas Harper Spencer Memorial Scholarship, given by Mrs. Thomas Harper Spencer, of the South Highland Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Ala., in memory of her husband, is for the benefit of an Alabama student. This gracious gift provides a scholarship at the present time for Mr. Erskine L. Jackson, of Marion, Ala. 14 Columbia Theological Seminary TERMS OF ADMISSION AND GRADUATION Credentials Every student seeking admission to the Seminary must present the following credentials: (1) A letter from the pastor or session of the church of which he is a member, stating that he is in full communion with the church, possesses good natural talents, and is of a discreet deportment. Or, if an ordained minister, he must present a letter from the ecclesiasti- cal body to which he belongs, stating that he is in good and regular standing. Every Presbyterian student applying for admission is ex- pected to present a statement from his Presbytery authorizing him to enter this Seminary. (2) A college diploma or certificate showing the completion of a regular course of academic study. Or, if he has not completed such a course, the student must furnish testimonials showing that he has received adequate training in subjects fundamental to the studies of the Seminary. Collegiate Preparation The academic degree offered upon entrance to the Seminary should represent four years of collegiate work. Other degrees than that of Bachelor of Arts, showing the completion of an adequate collegiate course will be accepted as satisfying the academic requirements for admission to the Seminary; but the classical course of study leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts is the normal course of preparation for the Seminary. Adequate time should be given to Latin and Greek, Philosophy, Bible History, Ancient and Modern History, the English Language, English, Literature, Education and Psychology. Instruction in the New Testament presupposes knowledge of Greek. A student applying for admission should be able to translate a passage of simple Attic prose and should have a fair knowledge of the grammatical forms and syntax of the Greek language. Students found to be inadequately prepared are offered courses in New Testament Greek during the first year in Seminary. The Columbia Theological Seminary 15 regular courses in the Greek New Testament do not begin until the middle year. Students from Other Seminaries A student coming from another seminary will be received ad eundem gradum on his presentation of a letter from that seminary certifying to his good standing, and regularly dismissing him to this Seminary. He must also comply with the terms of admission set forth above, and if a candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Divin- ity, he must satisfy the requirements of this Seminary with reference to knowledge of the original languages of Scripture. Degrees Any student who completes in a satisfactory manner all of the courses of study required in the Seminary and who presents to the Faculty a diploma of graduation from a standard college or uni- versity of the highest accredited grade, will receive a diploma from this Seminary according him the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. The revised Form of Government authorizes the Faculty to grant the degree of Master of Theology (Th. M.) for not less than one year's additional resident study; and the degree of Doctor of Theol- ogy (Th. D.) for not less than two years' additional resident work. Certificates Students who do not possess the requisite academic diploma, but complete the regular course of study in the Seminary, receive a certificate of graduation. A student who takes a partial course may receive a certificate setting forth those subjects which he has com- pleted. Pledge Every applicant for admission who has presented satisfactory cre- dentials is required by the Board of Directors to subscribe to the following declaration: "Deeply impressed with the sense of the importance of improving in knowledge, prudence and piety, in my preparation for the gospel ministry, I solemnly promise, in a reliance on divine grace, that I will faithfully and diligently attend on all the instructions of this Seminary, and that I will conscientiously and vigilantly observe all the rules and regulations specified in the plan for its instruction and government, so far as the same relates to the students; and that I will obey all the lawful requisitions, and readily yield to all the wholesome admonitions of the professors and directors of the Sem- inary while I shall continue a member of it." 16 Columbia Theological Seminary OUTLINE OF COURSES Five recitations per week in all required and elective courses Fall Quarter 111.

Columbia Theological Seminary 17 THE SCHEDULE In 1927 Columbia Seminary adopted the "Quarter System" which is becoming so popular in leading universities and graduate schools throughout the country. Each quarter has ten weeks for classes and one week for examinations. Columbia now gives work during the fall, winter, and spring quarters. The unit of credit is the "major," one subject taken five days a week throughout a quarter. A "minor" is a half -major. Each stu- dent normally takes three majors a quarter; students with an aver- age over 85 are allowed to take a fourth major if they so desire. This system has proved most satisfactory, as it has several distinct advantages over the older system. The attention of the student is centered on three classes meeting each day in the week instead of on seven or eight meeting one, two three, or four times a week. There are three examinations at the end of each quarter instead of seven or eight. The schedule is simplified. Related subjects can more easily be placed in logical sequence. An open Monday is secured without congestion on other days. Students preaching on Sundays need miss no classes. An opportun- ity is given for supplementary and collateral reading. The simple unit of credit, the major, makes it easy for credits from Columbia to be transferred to other graduate schools. Colum- bia work has been accepted at full credit by several of the leading graduate schools of America. Students are enabled to enter at the beginning of any one of the three quarters, though the work can be better correlated if they enter at the beginning of the fall quarter. Students may finish at the end of any quarter when the required courses have been completed. Some students shorten the course by one or two quarters by attending some summer school or by taking four majors during several quarters. Five years ago, by adopting the Quarter System, Columbia brought the length of her scholastic year into accord with the practice of many of the leading educational institutions. The Seminaries of the Presbyterian Church U. S. A. are just now lengthening their year to conform to the practice of colleges and universities. A part of what Columbia accomplished on her own initiative five years ago is being accomplished by her sister institutions in the North under action of the General Assembly U. S. A. 18 Columbia Theological Seminary Class Schedule, 1932-33 Tuesday to Saturday Fall Quarter Winter Quarter Spring Quarter 8:30 111. Hebrew 644. Eng. Bible 221. 0. T. Exegesis 112. Hebrew 741.

The course in Introductory Greek provides an opportunity for every student, who wishes to do so, to fit himself for work in New Testament Exegesis. Where the Hebrew and Greek are omitted, students must choose, from among the electives, courses sufficient to bring their daily work to fifteen hours per week. Students who take the English Course are given certificates for subjects completed. Examinations At the close of each quarter written examinations are held on all the subjects studied during the quarter. No student is permitted to be absent from the examination of his class, except for satisfactory reasons. The revised form of government allows the Faculty the privilege of exempting seniors from the final examinations in sub- jects in which their grades are B or above. Grades and Distinctions At the close of each quarter, grades are sent to all students and their Presbyteries. A represents 95-100; B, 90-94; C, 85-89; D, 80-84; E, 75-79; F, failure, below 75. Students who graduate with an average of 95 or over and who have no grade below 90, graduate "magna cum laude," and that fact is noted on their dip- lomas. The distinction of. "cum laude" is given to those students whose average is 90-94 and who have no grade below 85. 20 Columbia Theological Seminary DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSES OF STUDY I. Hebrew and Cognate Languages Dr. Kerr The Church has always emphasized the importance of the orig- inal languages of Holy Scripture in theological education. "The Old Testament in Hebrew, and the new Testament in Greek, being immediately inspired by God, the Church is finally to appeal unto them." Therefore, the Seminary endeavors to fit students for the ministry intelligently and effectively to use the original languages in interpreting the Sacred Oracles. The Elective courses are offered to qualified students, who have taken Hebrew throughout the Junior year, and who have shown capacity for further profitable study of the language. These courses, except in the case of course 144, may be varied and adapted to the interests of the students applying for them. Also they may be con- tinued for one quarter, or more. 111. Elements of Hebrew. The class begins the study of the language by the inductive method. Orthography, etymology, and syntax are taught from the Hebrew text of Genesis. Note books are used for exercises in the inflectional forms of the language, in trans- lation, and in translation from English into Hebrew. Text books: Harper's Hebrew Method and Manual, and Harper's Elements of Hebrew (both revised by J. M. P. Smith) . Junior year, fall quarter. 112. Elements of Hebrew, continued. This course continues work begun in the fall quarter with progressive additions in detail, until the principal grammatical elements of the language are covered. Text books: Same as for course 111. Junior year, winter quarter. 113. Hebrew Reading and Syntax. Hebrew reading, chiefly from Exodus and Deuteronomy, with special reference to vocabu- lary and grammar. Syntax is taught by use of a text book, and by careful attention to examples as they occur in the Hebrew Bible. Columbia Theological Seminary 21 Text books: Kittel's Biblia Hebraica; Hebrew Lexicon by Brown, Driver and Briggs; Davidson's Hebrew Syntax. Junior year, spring quarter. 144. Advanced Hebrew Syntax. This course offers a thorough study in the syntax of the language by the use o text books and the reading and comparison of selected illustrative passages from the Hebrew Text. Middle, or Senior year, fall quarter. 145. Hebrew Reading Course. The purpose of this course is by rapid reading of extended passages to acquire a large vocabulary and general facility in the use of the Hebrew Bible. Middle or Senior year, winter quarter. 146. Grammatical Interpretation of the Psalms. The class will make detailed grammatical and exegetical studies in the Psalms, which may be varied with passages from the Prophetic Writings. The purpose of the course is to train the student in the practice of grammatical interpretation of the Scriptures. Middle, or Senior year, spring quarter. 157. Biblical Aramaic and Arabic. By arrangement with the professor, courses will be given to qualified students in Aramaic and Arabic. The number of hours and the particular nature of the course will be determined by the needs and opportunities of the stu- dents. Seminar, hours to be arranged. Work in these cognate lan- guages may be substituted for a Hebrew Elective. II. Old Testament Literature and Exegesis Dr. McPheeters 221. Exegetical Theory. During this quarter the effort is made to enable the student to co-ordinate the work in this with that in other departments; to give him some insight into the nature of. the machinery of grammatical symbolization in general and especially into the nature of a particular writing; into the function or task of the interpreter and into the problems that emerge in connection with it; into the fundamental principles and the characteristic method of interpretation; into the several branches of interpretation and into the conditions of a successful application of interpretational methods. The effort is also made to develop and cultivate those mental attitudes and habits that are basal to all real exegetical work. After the middle of the quarter a gradual beginning is made in exegetical praxis. Middle year, fall quarter. 22 Columbia Theological Seminary 222. Exegetical Praxis. The work of applying the principles and method of interpretation, begun in the previous quarter, is continued in this. An effort is made to acquaint the student with the nature of General and Special Introduction, their relation the one to the other, and of both to exegesis; with the nature of the lexicon, grammar, concordance, commentary, and of the literature of in- terpretation generally; and the conditions of the profitable use of same. During both quarters the class-room work is supplemented by parallel reading, the purpose of which is to acquaint the student with the history and schools of interpretation; the literary forms of the Old Testament, and similar matters. Special themes are also as- signed for theses. Middle year, winter quarter. 223. Old Testament Introduction. The student is introduced to the study of the Canon or Rule of Faith of the Old Testament Church its constituent books; the principle by which their canonic- ity was determined; and other questions mooted in connection with it; of Messianic Prophecy in its central line; its development; its apologetic value; and of the general principles of sound literary and historical criticism. As in the previous quarters the class-room work is supplemented by parallel reading and theses on assigned topics. Middle year, spring quarter. 244. Our Lord As An Interpreter. The aim in this course will be to exhibit our Lord's methods as an interpreter and the principles that underlay them. In doing this the question of our Lord's attitude to the Old Testament will come up for careful consideration. Senior year, elective, fall quarter. 245. Historical and Literary Criticism As Applied to the Old Testament. This course will be introduced with a study of the rise and present status of different schools of criticism. This will be followed by a study of the problems, methods and principles of historical and literary criticism. Senior year, elective, winter quarter. 256. The Old Testament, Its Origin and Nature. This class will study the methods and principles of Historical and Literary Criticism as applied to the books of the Old Testament; the origin of these books and their literary history, and cognate questions touching them. Seminar, one hour per week. 257. The Tools of the Exegete. This class will study the Lexicon, Grammar, Concordance and Versions their nature, and the conditions of their effective use in exegesis. Seminar, one hour per week. Columbia Theological Seminary 23 Apologetics Dr. McPheeters, Dr. Robinson 238. Apologetics. Function of Apologetics. The need for Apologetics in the current revolt against historic Christianity as ex- hibited in the fundamental conception of God, of nature, of man, and of the Bible. This statement of. the need for Apologetics naturally introduces the direct development of the field in its several divisions: philosophical Apologetics; psychological Apologetics; historical Apologetics; and bibliological Apologetics. In the light of modern science, psychology and historical criticism, each student presents his own answer to humanism, mechanistic behaviorism and modern- ism, which, in the field of New Testament criticism, has been de- scribed as an effort to drive a wedge between the Christ of the Epis- tles and the historic Jesus. The unrivalled scholarship and sound logic of Dr. B. B. Warfield are heavily drawn upon in several de- partments of this study. Senior year, fall quarter. III. New Testament Literature and Exegesis Dr. Cartledge, Mr. McGee The courses in New Testament Literature and Exegesis are de- signed to give a working knowledge of the New Testament. Every minister should be a close student of the New Testament. It is the purpose of this department to fit a man for a life-long study of this priceless book. Every minister who hopes to lead must keep abreast of the thought of the age. Students in this department are expected to acquaint themselves with the trends of New Testament criticism, radical and conservative, through the lectures, daily assigned read- ing, and parallel reading. All work in this department is on the basis of the Greek text. As the required work starts in the middle year, students who enter with- out sufficient Greek preparation can fit themselves to take the regu- lar work with their class by taking the introductory courses offered in the Junior year. Aside from the daily assignments, a certain amount of parallel reading, in English or Greek or both, is required with each course. Term papers are assigned with most courses, so that students may acquire some facility in the technique of investigating rather thor- oughly some of the typical problems in the field. 321. General Introduction and the Epistle to the Gala- tians. Along with the detailed exegesis of, and special introduction to, Galatians, a study is made of such introductory subjects as the following: The Inter-Biblical period; The Language of the New 24 Columbia Theological Seminary Testament, its characteristics and relation to antecedent and con- temporary Greek; The Principles of Textual Criticism; The Canon; and The Principles of Grammatico-historical Exegesis. Required, middle year, fall quarter. 322. The Synoptic Gospels.

Introduction and exegesis. Stu- dents will be expected to acquaint themselves as thoroughly as possi- ble with as many different methods of interpretation of this book as possible. Seminar, elective, hours to be arranged. 350. The Text and Canon of the New Testament. An ad- vanced seminar course for students who wish to pursue these studies Columbia Theological Seminary 25 further than the introductory course 321. Elective, hours to be ar- ranged. 351. The Greek of the New Testament Period. Readings in the New Testament, the Septuagint, Epictetus, the papyri, etc. Em- phasis will be placed on grammar and lexicography. Elective, hours to be arranged. Regularly, three of the elective courses will be given each year. They will be selected by the professor to meet the needs and wishes of students electing them. For 1932-1933, the probable courses will be 346, 349, and 344. Mr. McGee 300-a. Beginners Grammar. A course in New Testament Greek for beginners will be offered to all students of the entering class who are not prepared for the work of the regular class in New Testa- ment Literature and Exegesis. The class will meet five times a week throughout the first and second quarters, or until the grammar is completed. 300-b. Readings in New Testament Greek. After the beginners' class has completed the grammar, a second course of reading in New Testament Greek will be given to complete the preparation of the class. Opportunity will be given during this second course for stu- dents who have only partial preparation, and for other students who feel the need of review work in the Greek Language, to join the class, and to those who wish to refresh themselves in the Greek Language before taking up the work in Exegesis. The class meets five times a week the remainder of the second quarter and throughout the third quarter. IV. Systematic Theology and Christian Ethics Dr. Green The study of Systematic Theology begins in the winter quarter of the middle year, and continues through the fall and winter quar- ters of the senior year. The method of instruction is by text book and lecture, combined with discussion. 421. Introduction and Theology Proper. Introduction em- braces such matters as definition, method, source, the Scriptures, etc. Theology Proper is distributed as follows: theism, anti-theism, nature and attributes of God, Deity of Christ, nature and office-work of the 26 Columbia Theological Seminary Holy Spirit, the decree of God, the works of God. Text book: First Volume of Hodge. Middle year, winter quarter. 422. Anthropology and Christology. Anthropology treats of the origin, nature, and original state of man, the covenant of works, the fall, sin, free agency. Christology covers such sub-topics as the plan of salvation, covenant of grace, person and work of Christ, the estates of Christ. Text book: Second Volume of Hodge. Middle year, spring quarter. 433. Soteriology and Eschatology. Of Soteriology these are the subdivisions: the order of Christian experience, regeneration, faith and repentance, justification, adoption, sanctification and the means of grace the word, sacraments and prayer. Eschatology is the doctrine of last things, and includes such interesting subjects as the immortality of the soul, the state of the soul immediately after death, the resurrection of the body, the second coming, future re- wards and punishments, hell and heaven. Text book: Third Volume of Hodge. Senior year, fall quarter. 434. Confession and Catechisms. The final course in Theology is examination of the Standards of our Church, the Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms. The aim here is not only to acquaint the students with the symbols of our Church, but to afford them a review and a new view of the most important matters considered in the earlier stages of the course. Text books: A. A. Hodge and F. R. Beattie on The Standards. Senior year, winter quarter. 445. Christian Ethics. Christian Ethics is a study of applied Christianity. Its aim is, in part, to state how the Christian religion has worked in the past; and, in part, to give guidance and direction to men of good-will, that they may in the future live more perfectly together according to Christ, and so bring to pass the Kingdom of. God. The method is to study the historic and progressive revela- tion and realization of the Christan ideal. The application of this method involves a consideration of the forms and spheres in which the ideal is becoming real, and also a consideration of the duties and dynamics of the Christian life. Text book: A Handbook of Christian Ethics by D. S. Adam. Senior year, elective, spring quarter. V. Ecclesiastical History, Church Polity, and Missions Dr. Robinson Christian Missions, Christian Thought and Christian Institutions logically divide the field of Church history. The grouping of sub- Columbia Theological Seminary 27 jects in this department accentuates the practical desirability of this logical division. 511. History of Christian Missions. The aim of this course is twofold: to present a telescopic view of the course of Church History, and to study the missionary movements and figures there- in. The essentially missionary character of. Christianity is found in its nature THE revealed religion; in its historical foundation the Messianic consciousness of Jesus as the Isaianic Servant of Jehovah; in its faith; and in its progress. The object in placing this course first is that the student may catch the missionary passion and perspective at the beginning of his work, develop it throughout, and so go forth a missionary pastor, or worker, worthy of the mis- sionary traditions of our Seminary and Church. Junior year, fall quarter. 512. History of Christian Thought to the Reformation. The course of history reveals a marked parallelism between the logical and the historical developments of Christian doctrinal formulation. The chronological evolution follows the logical implication. But the exposition of this organic and genetic development, as it is spread out on the screen of the centuries, often gives a real grasp of its larger truths. This period deals with: The elucidation of. the Christian doctrine of God in opposition to paganism and gnosticism; the formulation of the dogma of the Trinity; Augustinianism; the Christological controversies; the systematization of doctrine by the scholastics; the sacramental-sacerdotal system; the work of Christ. Junior year, winter quarter. 513. History of Christian Thought The Reformation and the Rise of Modern Religious Ideas. Half of this course is given to the study of the Reformation in its vital religious faith and doc- trine. The other part of the course is largely devoted to the post Kantian thought of the Christian world: the philosophical, scientific, theological, and critical movements in Germany and their echoes in England and the United States. The rise and development of Liberal Theology in America. Junior year, spring quarter. 534. History of Christian Institutions With Special Refer- ence to Presbyterian Polity. The place of the Church in primi- tive Christianity; and the place of Presbyterianism in the primitive Church; a rapid survey of. the changes which this primitive organiza- tion has undergone: sacerdotal government; monasticism; curialism; the efforts to restore primitive polity Wycliffe, Huss, Lambert, Cartwright; the development of Presbyterian polity by Calvin, Knox 28 Columbia Theological Seminary and Melville; a rapid survey of ecumenical Presbyterianism, with especial attention to the American branches; the Southern Presby- terian integration in its principles and polity, as presented by Thorn- well and exemplified by B. M. Palmer. Senior year, winter quarter. 545-550. Elective Courses. The following electives in History and the History of Doctrines have been offered in former years. Selections from these courses will be offered as electives during 1932-33, and will be arranged according to the wishes of the students and the time at the disposal of the professor: 545. The Life and Doctrine of John Calvin. Given 1932. 546. The Place of Jesus Christ in Modern Christianity. Given 1931. 547. The History of the Doctrine of the Atonement. Each member of the class makes a study of a representative, or of a group representing each of the great syntheses in the history of the Church: the Greek; the Scholastic; the Protestant; the Modern. Given 1932. 548. The History of the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit. This course was especially offered for the nineteen hundredth anniversary of Pentecost. Given 1930. 549. The Church in America. 550. History of Non-Christian Faiths. Given 1931. VI. English Bible Dr. Clark Mr. Grafton The Department of English Bible has for its aim the develop- ment of a trained leadership in the ministry of the Word. The work in this department is designed to guide the student in the mastery of an effective method of English Bible study and exposition. Emphasis is laid upon the importance of the historical setting, the factual con- tent, and the doctrines of the Books of the Old and the New Testa- ments. The object constantly kept before the student is that the Bible is God's Revelation, and that the minister must know His Book, and be able to organize the material secured through study, if he would lead others to a knowledge of its message. The method used : Assignment of work is made for each recitation, that the student may acquire for himself an effective method of Bible study, and a thorough knowledge of the content of the English Bible. By use of Columbia Theological Seminary 29 analysis and synthesis, the purpose of the author, the message of the Book, and the Mind of the Spirit are discovered. 611. The Historical Books. The five books of Moses and the book of Joshua are studied to discover the beginnings of God's Plan and Purposes of Redemption. In addition to a study of the doc- trines here revealed, the biographies of the Patriarchs receive close and careful attention. Junior year, winter quarter. 612. The Poetical and Prophetical Books. In these song and prayer books of the believer the student finds a universal and time- less message, and in the voices of the Prophets he may hear timely messages for men of today. Junior year, spring quarter. 623. The Acts and Epistles. The record of the life and thought of the early church is studied with the view of obtaining knowledge of the facts. Emphasis is placed upon the great doctrines and the homiletic values of the material. Middle year, fall quarter. 644. The Gospels. These Gospels tell of the life and labors, the mission and the message of our Lord. While attention is given to many questions in connection with the study of each book, the chief object of the course is to lead the student to see Him our Lord and Saviour. To see Him as He moves among men, as He ministers and teaches, and as He reveals God to men. Senior year, elective, fall quarter. 645. Psalms-Jeremiah. The Psalter is the Hymn book o all ages. A devout scholar said: "The Psalms teach me to prize a much tried life, the words of these writers sink deep into the heart and never before in my life have I thus seen God." Calvin says: "There is not an emotion of which any one can be conscious that is not here rep- resented as in a mirror." We study the Psalms to find how a sin- burdened man is led into the arms of a gracious God. In Jeremiah the earnest student sees a strongly beautiful life of utter self forgetfulness, of suffering voluntarily undergone for others. The touching sadness and the burning faith of his words found a perpetual echo in the hearts o the restored and humbled Jews. Though their fathers hated Him, the sons came to love Him and in less than a cenutry after Jeremiah's death, Jewish opinion placed him, and not Isaiah, first among the great prophets the order being Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah. The aim of the course is to know the strange and unhappy man, and to understand the life, so Christlike, and the message, now so little known to the Church. Senior year, elective, spring quarter. 30 Columbia Theological Seminary Introductory English Bible Mr. Grafton 600-a. The Hebrews Under Their Kings. A survey of the na- tional life of the Chosen People from Eli to the Captivity. Samuel, Kings, Chronicles.

Note Courses 600a, 600b, and 600c are designed primarily for students who have not previously studied the English Bible, or who desire to make a further study of the Old Testament. They are elective, but will be re- quired where, in the opinion of the Faculty, it is desirable. VII. Practical Theology Pastoral Theology and Religious Education Dr. Clark 741. Preparation of the Pastor. The minister is the leader of his people in every phase of religious life and Christian activity. He is responsible for the cure and care of souls, and he must be prepared to direct the various organizations of His church. It is the purpose of this course to prepare the students for the various duties and activities which it will be necessary for him to assume as under shepherd of his flock. The work in this department is conducted by the use of text books, parallel reading and personal investigation of the work of the church as it is being carried on in the churches, Sunday Schools and Young Peoples' societies of Atlanta, Decatur and the surrounding com- munity. Columbia Theological Seminary 31 Instruction is given in the programs of the various groups which have evolved in the church : The Men of the Church, Women's Work, Young People, and the Sunday School. A careful study is made of the best methods used by these various groups, and, under direction of this department, those who are charged with the promotion of these programs in the Assembly and Synod, are brought to the Seminary to explain the work in their own departments. The course studied includes: (1) Church organization and administration, (2) Visitation and other forms of pastoral service, (3) Place of Religious Education, (4) Organization and administration of the Church School for Christian Education. Senior year, elective, winter quarter. Homiletics Dr. Green 712. The Theory and Practice of Preaching. In this course both the theory and the practice of preaching are studied, but the emphasis is on the practical. The aim is to teach men: What preach- ing is and How to do it. The preacher, his call, his message, his personality, his preparation, are discussed. During the second half of the course, sermon briefs are required every week, and special effort is made to train the men in the treatment of texts that they may be "sound workmen, with no need to be ashamed of the way they handle the word of the Truth." The text books in this depart- ment are Broadus' "Preparation and Delivery of Sermons" and Her- rick Johnson's "The Ideal Ministry." Junior year, fall quarter. The Country Church Dr. McLaughlin 714. The Country Church and the Bible. It is the purpose of this course to discover and relate the teachings of the Bible to rural conditions and problems of today. Text books: The Bible, and "Bible and Rural Life" by Henry H. Myers. Junior year, nine lectures. 725. Rural Religious Conditions. This course is a study of rural life as it is related to conditions and relationships which have come to pass in recent years, to discover the needs of the country, how to meet these needs, and which fields of. endeavor are most fruit- 32 Columbia Theological Seminary ful. Text books: Minutes of the General Assembly, parallel read- ings. Middle year, nine lectures. 736. Methods of Efficiency. In this course we study the pro- gram of the country preacher, for himself, the church, the commun- ity, and his relationship to other agencies working for community advancement. The aim of this course is to discover every-day prob- lems of the country preacher and mission worker, with a view to finding their solution, as offered by the experience of successful min- isters and country churches. Text books : The Program of the Coun- try Church, by Roadman, and other books. Senior year, nine lec- tures. Hours for the course in the country church will be arranged. Columbia Theological Seminary 33 EXPENSES No Fees. No charge is made for tuition, room rent, fuel, light or library fees. The dormitories are cared for without cost to the student. Board. The boarding department is efficiently administered by Mrs. Edna Phinizy. Wholesome, nourishing and well-balanced meals are furnished at five dollars per week. In no other educational in- stitution are better meals provided. Meals are furnished at cost, though an attempt is made to make the meals as wholesome as possi- ble rather than as cheap as possible. Textbooks. Books are furnished from our book store at reduced prices. Any student may, if he has opportunity, purchase second- hand books. The cost of text books will average about $25.00 per year. Incidental Expenses. The incidental expenses will be determin- ed in large measure by the temperament and disposition of the in- dividual. A careful student will keep this incidental expense within a reasonable limit. With the financial aid provided for candidates under the care of our Presbyteries, many students on our campus meet all expenses, including board, books and incidentals. A student should be able to provide, from other sources, enough to care for his transportation and clothing. After the first year in the Seminary, this additional expense may be supplemented by summer work and supply preaching. Financial Aid Loans to Candidates. The General Assembly's Committee of Christian Education and Ministerial Relief, Louisville, Kentucky, provides a loan each year without interest. This loan is to be re- paid under conditions prescribed by the General Assembly. The Committee has fixed the amount of this loan at $75.00. This loan is available for all regular students. Application for the loan should be made through the Chairman of the Committee of Christian Education in the Presbytery. The Seminary will be glad to furnish information and to render assistance in the matter. The payment of this loan is usually made in four installments. The first installment is received in October. The other three at in- tervals of sixty days. Scholarships. In addition to the loan described above the Seminary will provide for each regular student, where it is neces- 34 Columbia Theological Seminary sary, an annual scholarship of $150. In order to obtain this scholar- ship the student must, 1st, have exhausted his own resources and have exercised the opportunity to borrow from the Assembly's Executive Committee of Education and, 2nd, present with his application a written statement from the Chairman of Christian Education in his Presbytery recommending that the scholarship be granted. Lectures on the Thomas Smyth Foundation Through the generosity of the late Rev. Thomas Smyth, D.D., of the Second Presbyterian Church of. Charleston, South Carolina, a lectureship has been established, called the Thomas Smyth Founda- tion. In accordance with the conditions of the bequest, some per- son of worthy character and distinguished for learning and ability is chosen each year by the Board and the Faculty to deliver a course of lectures on the fundamental principles of the Christian faith. The funds bequeathed by Dr. Smyth to found this lectureship amount to $10,000. For the past twenty-one years distinguished lecturers have treated a large variety of themes, doctrinal, critical, practical, archaeological and historical. Extension Work by the Faculty Since the removal of the Seminary the faculty have been engaged in Atlanta and throughout the South, in practically every form of service required of a minister. They preach; administer the sacra- ments for vacant churches; teach Bible classes; conduct classes in schools of Missions, teacher training schools, and young people's conferences; attend other conferences of various kinds; address Synods, Presbyteries, Young Peoples' Conferences, Men's Clubs and speak to almost every variety of civic and social club on a wide range of topics. Society of Missionary Inquiry Soon after the Seminary was organized, the Society of Missionary Inquiry was founded for the purpose of furthering an interest in missions, both at home and abroad. It has been greatly strengthened since the removal of the Seminary to Atlanta. Regular meetings are held each Tuesday evening. At these meet- ings various phases of Christian work are discussed by students who are appointed in advance, or by specially invited speakers. For two successive years the Society has conducted the "Week- of -Prayer" for Foreign Missions, using as speakers our foreign missionaries who are on furlough. Each year a liberal offering has been made at the close of the week. Under direction of the Society, the members visit and conduct services in city missions, county homes, prisons and prison camps, Columbia Theological Seminary 35 and other institutions; they render special programs in Young Peo- ple's Societies and churches; and give regular assistance in near-by Sunday Schools. "The J. Leighton Wilson Missionary Room" has been opened in Campbell Hall. The room contains a number of highly prized mis- sionary books, curios, and trophies. This collection dates back to the early years of the Society, and it contains among other valuable misisonary curios, the medical chest used by Dr. Wilson while in Africa, and a leaf from the Diary of David Brainard. The Society is now making an effort to increase this valuable collection. As far as possible, the pictures of all the graduates of the Seminary, who have gone to foreign mission fields, will be placed in this room. In February, 1931, the Society celebrated its centennial. Dr. J. 0. Reavis, Dr. S. L. Morris, and Dr. Darby Fulton gave addresses to the Society and its friends. A pageant was presented, depicting "A Century of Service." A resume of the pageant was presented before the Chattanooga Congress on World Missions at the request of the authorities of the Congress. The Student Volunteer Group The members of the Student Volunteer Movement in the Semi- nary take an active part in the work of the Society of Missionary Inquiry, and in addition they study, in fellowship among themselves and co-operation with the Student Volunteer Unions of Atlanta, matters of special interest concerning missionary preparation. In order to quicken the missionary spirit of the churches, special depu- tations render, throughout the city, programs on Christian Missions abroad. This deputation work is done in co-operation with the City Union. The Quartette The Seminary quartette renders a variety of services. Engage- ments have been filled at Sunday Schools, Church services, young people's societies, Men of the Church meetings, Woman's Auxiliary meetings, public schools, colleges, conventions, men's luncheon clubs, women's clubs, evangelistic meetings, hospitals, prisons, and at other places. In doing this, several of the Synods in our territory have been visited. By invitation, the Quartette has rendered, from time to time, acceptable programs over the radio station, WSB, of the Atlanta Journal, Atlanta, Georgia. The quartette has opportunity to form pleasant and profitable contacts, and to render real service to the Seminary, the Church, and the Kingdom. 36 Columbia Theological Seminary Religious Exercises Daily prayers are conducted in the chapel by the faculty. Various meetings for worship are maintained by the students. Thursday evening the faculty and students meet in the chapel. Students conduct devotional exercises and preach. A committee of the faculty offers suggestions with reference to the subject matter of the sermons and the manner of their delivery. These criticisms are privately conducted. Opportunities for Observing Religious Work The City of Atlanta furnishes to the students various opportunities for engaging in active religious work. ' Within the metropolitan area every type of church and every form of Christian activity is found. This gives opportunity to study the work of typical churches, both of our own and of other denominations. In the outlying agricultural districts, and in the villages and towns which lie within easy reach of the Seminary, the students have op- portunity to study under most favorable conditions, church work in the rural and small town communities. This ideal location furnishes exceptional advantages of a clinical nature for the thorough prepar- ation of ministers equipped for every task which the church faces. Home Mission Activities In addition to the training which results from observation of others at work, the churches of Atlanta and the surrounding country offer many and varied opportunities for mission work. The churches of the city have well organized Sunday Schools, and young people's societies. The students of the Seminary are expected to take an active part in the work of these church organizations. A number of the students are engaged by the home mission com- mittees within easy reach of Atlanta, to supply home mission fields, and to assist in other forms of Christian work. There is opportunity for a number of students to engage in supply work and other forms of religious activity, for which a reasonable remuneration is pro- vided. Atlanta Presbytery fosters a vigorous work among the colored people. This is considered one of the most important features of its work, and gives opportunity for special training in this field, which, in the South, constitutes one of our most fruitful opportunities for service. The Seminary endeavors to co-operate with the Y. M. C. A., Salva- tion Army, Evangelistic Clubs, and other agencies engaged in various Columbia Theological Seminary 37 forms of informal preaching and welfare service in shops, industrial plants, jails and elsewhere. Preaching by Students Students of the Senior and Middle classes are permitted to sup- ply vacant churches, provided absence from the campus does not conflict with their Seminary duties. Many mission churches are supplied by members of the Senior and Middle classes. Except in special cases, members of the Junior class are not permitted to undertake regular work. No student should undertake regular work oftener than twice a month. Where necessity compels a student to engage in full time supply work, the Faculty will consider each case on its merits. THE SEMINARY LIBRARY The library of Columbia Seminary is probably the most extensive and the most valuable collection of theological literature in the South. It forms an important adjunct to the work carried on in the class-rooms. In it are incorporated the larger parts of the libraries of Rev. Thomas Smyth, D.D., Rev. John Douglass, Rev. George Howe, D.D., Rev. S. Beach Jones. D.D., Rev. S. M. Smith, D.D., Rev. R. C. Reid, D.D., Rev. J. L. Martin, D.D., Rev. J. W. Flinn, D.D., Rev. Thornton Whaling, D.D. New books are being con- tinually added. The libraries of the professors, amounting to several thousand volumes, are accessible to the students. The Smyth Library Fund The Rev. Thomas Smyth, D.D., made provision in his will for the endowment of the library with a gift of $10,000. The income from this fund is used for the purchase of additional volumes. This gener- ous bequest makes it possible for our library to purchase such books as are needed each year for the proper development of the library facilities, and assures the continual addition to the library of in- dispensable new books. Reports to Presbyteries At the close of each term a report will be sent to the Presbytery. This report will set forth all facts with reference to student's at- tendance, punctuality, deportment, diligence, and class standing. FELLOWSHIPS Anna Church Whitner Memorial Fellowship This Fellowship was established by Wm. C. Whitner, LL.D., of Rock Hill, S. C, as a memorial to his mother, who was an earnest, consecrated and devoted Christian. Each year the Fellowship is 38 Columbia Theological Seminary awarded to some member of the senior class or of the five preceding graduating classes. The income from the Fellowship, about $500, will be used by the Fellow to finance a year's post graduate study in an approved American or European institution. RESIDENT FELLOWSHIPS Fellowship in Old Testament This fellowship may be awarded to a student who will be a mem- ber of the senior or graduate class. The Fellow will be expected to do a certain amount of work under the direction of the Professor of Old Testament, such as giving tests and correcting papers. Fellowship in New Testament This Fellowship may be awarded to any college graduate who will be a member of any of the classes at Columbia. The Fellow will be expected to give some instruction in introductory Greek or do other work under the Professor of New Testament. Fellowship in English Bible This Fellowship may be awarded to any college graduate who will be a member of any of the classes at Columbia. The Fellow will be expected to give some instruction in introductory English Bible or do other work under the Professor of English Bible. All the Resident Fellowships provide the Fellows with room and board and $200 a year. Columbia Seminary charges no tuition or fees of any kind which must be deducted from Fellowships. The work required of a Fellow will not interfere with his regular studies. Application for all Fellowships should be made to the President before Feb. 15 on blanks which will be furnished by the office. The awards will be made about March 1. A student may apply for more than one Fellowship at a time but can be awarded only one. The Faculty is under no obligation to award any Fellowship unless at least one applicant has a decidedly meritorious record. Wilds Book Prize Louis T. Wilds, Esq., a ruling elder of the First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, S. C, has given the Seminary the sum of five hundred dollars, to provide an annual book prize. At the close of each session the proceeds of the gift are invested in books for a student selected by the Faculty. Physical Culture A minister today needs a strong, healthy body. The Seminary encourages students to take regular exercise. On the campus, there are tennis courts, a volley ball court, and a baseball field. A neigh- boring golf course, the Forrest Hills Golf Club, has been kindly Columbia Theological Seminary 39 allowing students to play free on certain days of the week; besides this, the city of Atlanta has several municipal courses. Basketball is frequently played in the gymnasium of the Decatur Presbyterian Church. The splendid climate of Atlanta and the equipment of the Seminary make it possible for students to engage in open-air athletics practically every day. Dr. James K. Fancher, one of the ablest physicians and diagnos- ticians of Atlanta, generously gives his services to the student body of the institution. Dr. Fancher's services have resulted in a marked improvement of the health of many of the students, and have ac- tually saved several to the ministry who otherwise would have been debarred by physical disability. Cultural Advantages Greater Atlanta, an educational center with a population of 350,- 000, offers many advantages in a social and cultural way. Besides the Seminary, there are Agnes Scott College, Emory University, Oglethorpe University, the Georgia School of Technology, and many others. These schools draw many outstanding men and women to the city, and, together with other groups and organizations, go far towards making Atlanta one of the most important centers in the South for scholarship, art, music, and culture in general. buildings and equipment The physical equipment of Columbia Seminary in Decatur is ab- solutely modern and up-to-date. Campbell Hall, the administration building, has class rooms, the library, the chapel, the dining hall, social rooms, and offices of administration. The dormitory is di- vided into four sections. Each room has hot and cold running water, and there are baths on each floor in each section. Windows in the dormitory are screened. Rooms are furnished with beds, mattresses and pillows, study tables and book shelves. Students should bring sheets, bed covers, pillow cases and towels. The whole plant is heat- ed by steam. Construction is fire-proof throughout. Four homes for faculty members have been built on the campus. Several other members of the faculty have apartments in the dormitory. All the buildings are beautiful and substantial, and everything that might lend to their comfort and efficiency has been included. The campus, of about sixty acres of rolling woodland, allows ample room for future expansion. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Alumni Association met on May 18, 1931, with an enthusiastic group present, the class of '21 having the largest representation. Officers were elected as follows: Rev. Wallace McP. Alston, Presi- dent; Rev. C. F. Allen, Vice President; Rev. James T.

The genesis of this undertaking may be found in Dr. Henry Alexander White's Southern Presbyterian Leaders. The subject was somewhat further developed in the centennial volume, Columbia Theological Seminary and the Southern Presbyterian Church. The work has attained its present measure of completeness largely through the efforts of Rev. John C. Blackburn, with the help of Dr. W. M. McPheeters and Dr. S. M. Tenney. The latter is still endeavoring to locate certain pamphlets not given in this list. It is hoped that readers of the catalogue will call the Seminary's attention to any works that have been omitted in this list, so that as soon as possible an entirely complete bibliography will be at hand. "C." indicates the year in which the author graduated. "Ex." indicates the years in which the author was a student. "P." indicates the tenure of professorship in the Seminary. Adger, John B., D.D.
