HISTORY,

LOCATION

AND CAMPUS

:.jf^'\ : J

On December 15, 1828, the Synod of South Carolina and Georgia, rep-
resenting Presbyterianism from North Carolina to the Mississippi, inaug-
urated this institution by electing the Rev. Thomas Goulding, D.D., as its
first professor. For two years Dr. Goulding taught a small group of students
in the Presbyterian Manse at Lexington, Georgia.

In 1830 the Seminary was moved to Columbia, South Carolina, 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. The old chapel there was particularly interesting
by reason of its history as well as its origin. Used originally as the carriage
house of a Southern gentleman, this little building was later dedicated to a
sacred purpose. It is remembered as the place where Woodrow Wilson was
"reborn for eternity" and where the Presbyterian, U.S. Book of Church
Order was written. There, also the first classes of Winthrop College, now
located at Rock Hill, South Carolina, were held.

Early in the Twentieth Century a strong conviction developed in the
Columbia territory 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 Pres-
byterian population of the Southeast. The original purpose for founding
Columbia had been "To light up another sun which shall throw farther West
the light of the Gospel." Now with the development of the Gulf States and
the shifting of the center of Presbyterianism in the area it seemed wise to
move the Seminary so as to better accomplish not only the founding purpose
but the greater goal of the proclamation of the Gospel to the whole world.

In the fall of 1924 the controlling Synods of Alabama, Florida, Georgia
and South Carolina, on recommendation of the Board of Directors, decided
to move the Seminary to Atlanta. Immediately following this decision the
Synod of Mississippi accepted the invitation of her sister synods to unite in
the ownership and control of the Seminary.

Atlanta Presbyterians provided a fifty-seven acre campus upon the hills
of Decatur. During the presidency of Dr. R. T. Gillespie two theological
buildings and four faculty homes were erected. A library, an additional
wing to the administration building, a student center, four apartment dormi-
tories, and thirteen faculty homes have been added in recent years.

Atlanta and the suburban community of Decatur have grown rapidly in
recent years. Decatur is now a city of over 22,000 and Greater Atlanta's
population exceeds a million.

ATLANTA TODAY

Atlanta today is the largest city in the Southeast, the industrial center
and transportation hub of the whole South. Because of its size and im-
portance as a key city Atlanta offers many opportunities for enrichment in
all fields of academic and personal growth to Columbia students. The
National League Braves, NFL Falcons and Atlanta Soccer team bring the
excitement of professional sports to the city. As a prominent business
center it offers a wide variety of sources of employment for students and
their wives.

Atlanta has its own symphony orchestra. There is also a community
orchestra and chorus. Seasons of grand and light opera, popular concerts,
and artists'-series are held throughout the year. The Metropolitan Opera
Company visits Atlanta annually for a week of performances. There are
community theatre groups with resident directors and also three community
ballet groups. Experimental drama groups and small art galleries abound.
The Atlanta Art Association galleries are among the finest in the South. They
house a large collection of their own, offer lectures and concerts, have an
art school and play host to many traveling exhibitions. Increasing commu-
nity support and interest has led to the construction of new performance
facilities for many of these groups, including in 1966-67 a new civic audi-
torium and a new cultural center.

Downtown Atlanta

Atlanta is also a center of activity and growth for the Presbyterian
Church. There are 671 Presbyterian Churches with a membership over
147,000 in an area easily accessible to Columbia students for their field
education on weekends. Nine boards and agencies of the Presbyterian Church,
U.S. have offices in the new Presbyterian Center in Atlanta. Churches and
agencies of other denominations and ecumenical councils and groups in
Atlanta provide Columbia students opportunity for broader contact and
experience.

Atlanta is an educational center. The Greater University Center, includ-
ing Emory University, Agnes Scott College, Georgia Tech, The University
of Georgia, Oglethorpe University, Georgia State College, the Atlanta Art
Association and Columbia Seminary is a significant cooperative venture in
the field of higher education. Students and professors share in the use of
the library facilities of each of these institutions with the help of a union
card catalogue. Students in one institution are permitted to take courses in
member institutions. Distinguished lecturers are provided by the University
Center each year. The school systems of the area provide elementary and
secondary education for over a quarter of a million students, and teaching
positions for many wives of seminary students.

COLUMBIA'S CAMPUS

Virginia Orme Campbell Administration Building

This building contains administrative and faculty offices, classrooms,
speech and homiletics laboratory and dormitory facilities. The Chapel is
located in the north wing.

John Bulow Campbell Library

The Library, an integrated part of the teaching program, has a collection
of books and a program of services that extend the work of the classroom
in breadth and depth, provide adequately for student and faculty research,
and stimulate reading beyond course requirements. The Library is housed
in an air-conditioned Gothic building. Its book collection numbers more than
70,000 volumes and is increasing at a rate of approximately 2,000 volumes
per year. It includes a well-balanced selection of older critical works and
commentaries along with more modern critical and exegetical works. Impor-
tant Reformation sources are well represented; the collection includes the
Calvin and Melanchthon sections of Corpus Reformatorum, the Weimar
edition of Luther's works, and the Vienna and Berlin Corpuses. Complete
files of many important scholarly journals are available. The Susan V. Rus-
sell Tape Collection of some 500 sermons, lectures, and worship services is
an important aid in homiletics and speech courses.

Student Center

The air-conditioned Student Center, erected in 1961, houses the dining
hall, several lounges, a game room, classrooms, offices and a book store.

Dormitories

Housing for single students and married students without children is
provided in SIMONS-LAW and FLORIDA HALLS. Simons-Law Hall, one
of the original buildings on the Decatur campus, was completely remodeled
and refurnished in 1964. Florida Hall was erected in 1961. Rooms with con-
necting baths are available for single students. Suites with a living room, bed
room and bath are furnished for married students.

"The Village"

On the western side of the campus apartments for student families are
provided in FRIENDSHIP HALL and two other buildings. A separate build-
ing in the area contains laundry facilities.

Mission Haven

The Women of the Church of Columbia's five supporting synods have
provided funds to build and maintain eight apartments which serve as homes
for missionaries on furlough.

Recreation Facilities

An athletic field for intra-mural sports, three tennis courts and a volley
ball court are located on the campus. Limited indoor recreational facilities
are provided in the Student Center.

DIRECTORS,

ADMINISTRATION

AND FACULTY

No educational institution can be stronger than its faculty.

In a theological seminary it is vitally important that those who teach
be thoroughly equipped for their task by scholarship. Equally necessary is
that insight into the life and work of the church which can only be gained
by practical experience. It is essential to the effective performance of their
task that they be men of sincere Christian faith and character, deeply dedi-
cated to the furtherance of the Gospel.

We believe that the teaching staff of Columbia Theological Seminary
possesses these qualifications in unusual measure. The degrees earned by its
members attest their academic preparation. A list of the ways in which they
have served the church would be equally impressive. Representing varied
backgrounds in this country and abroad, and trained in many of the great
universities of the world, they are alike in being committed to the Reformed
Faith. A distinguished visitor has aptly described the group as characterized
by unity, diversity, and harmony.

In addition to the twenty-four men who comprise its regular faculty, the
seminary makes use of the wealth of talent available in the churches and
colleges of greater Atlanta. The staff of the Georgia Association of Pastoral
Care contributes instruction and clinical training for the total pastoral
responsibilities of the "shepherd of the flock." Visiting professors come yearly
both from this area and from distant points. Further stimuli are provided by
distinguished lectures brought to the campus through the cooperative pro-
gram of the Greater University Center of Georgia.

GENERAL

INFORMATION

Columbia Seminary is a graduate professional school and students in their
life of preparation here are faced with disciplines involving research, explora-
tion, self-examination, intellectual struggle and growth. The process is fre-
quently painful and students inevitably experience discouragement and
impatience in the same way that students do in any other field of graduate
study. They can constantly refresh their spirits in the many opportunities
that exist for private and public worship and this is recognized as being a
most important element of the student's preparation for his ministry. But it
still must be confessed that there are times when only faithful and even
dogged obedience to their calling to be good students will help them carry
on when a happier kind of inspiration fails them. It is the feeling of the
administration and faculty that adequate preparation for the ministry grows
out of honest examination of facts in all areas of human experience and
that God is most effectively served by those men and women who apply
themselves to their tasks as students with diligence and integrity. Intellectual
attainments will go hand in hand with spiritual growth in adequate prepara-
tion for the ministry and neither can be gained without real devotion to God.

17

ADMISSION

College Preparation

Admission to the B.D. and M.C.E. programs at Columbia Seminary re-
quires a four year degree from an accredited university or college of arts and
sciences or its equivalent. Students without four years of pre-seminary prepa-
ration are not eligible to earn degrees at the Seminary and are not encouraged
to apply for admission.

Entering B.D. students are required to have a reading knowledge of New
Testament Greek. For those students who are not prepared in Greek the
Seminary offers non-credit courses in its Summer Language School.

A major in one of the liberal arts fields is most helpful and certain
courses are essential in preparing for seminary studies. Philosophy is neces-
sary as a foundation for theological thought. A knowledge of European and
American history is essential for Church History. A basic understanding of
psychology provides the background needed for studies in Pastoral Care and
Counseling. The knowledge of English grammar and literature is needed for
all seminary studies because the minister must be able to communicate with
the people whom he serves. With these needs in mind the seminary recom-
mends the work below as a minimum in pre-seminary work. These sug-
gestions are in line with recommendations made by the American Association
of Theological Schools and the General Assembly of our Church. The sug-
gestions should be carefully studied by all candidates for the ministry who
have not completed their college training.

English 6 semesters Psychology 1 semester

Philosophy 3 semesters Foreign Language 4 semesters

Bible or Religion 2 semesters Natural Science 2 semesters

History 3 semesters Social Science 2 semesters

Admission Procedure

Students desiring admission to the B.D., M.C.E. or special programs
should request an application for admission from the Director of Admissions.
In addition to the completed application form students should furnish the
Director of Admissions the additional items indicated on that form.

Admission procedure for the Th.M. program may be found on page 38.

Students admitted to the Seminary will be provided a health form to be
filled out by their physician and an application for Seminary housing.

Pledge

The Board of Directors requires each student to subscribe to the following
declaration:

"Deeply impressed with a 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 speci-
fied in the plan for its instruction and government, so far as the same re-
lates to the students; and that I will obey all the lawful requisitions, and
readily yield to all the wholesome admonitions of the professors and direc-
tors of the Seminary while I shall continue a member of it."

18

Transfer

Students in good standing in other accredited seminaries may be ad-
mitted after transcripts have been evaluated and their applications approved
by the Admissions Committee. Ordinarily more than one year in residence
is required for graduation.

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

Columbia believes that everything possible should be done to help new
students make a quick and easy adjustment to theological study, and to help
them adopt sound methods of study as early as possible. With this purpose
in view, an orientation program has been arranged and is required of all
new students during the days preceding the regular opening of the Seminary
in the fall. This program is without extra expense to the students except
for a charge for board.

Columbia's program offers an opportunity for new students to get ac-
quainted with one another and with student body leaders and members of
the faculty before the "rush" of routine work starts. Instruction concerning
the use of a theological library as a means of saving time and effort later
and suggestions regarding the most effective methods of approach to theologi-
cal studies are given. A battery of tests similar to those used in other educa-
tional institutions are administered in the orientation program to help stu-
dents identify and understand particular strengths and deficiencies of prepa-
ration for theological instruction.

ADVANCED STANDING

The faculty of Columbia Seminary is concerned to give more latitude to
exceptional students who have shown unusual proficiency in advanced work
in religious or Biblical studies at the college level. Provision is made, there-
fore, for such students to pursue a more flexible schedule of study in lieu
of normal requirements. Students interested in this program of independent
study should consult with the Dean of Instruction, and the Dean, with the
Department concerned, will provide a method of testing so as to ascertain
the student's qualifications for independent study. Upon successfully satis-
fying the requirements for independent study, the student will then be per-
mitted to enter upon his special work under the guidance of the Professor
concerned and will be expected to pass an examination, or to present a
suitable research paper at the end of the quarter. This latitude applies to
exceptional students in all courses of instruction.

19

THE HONORS PROGRAM

In order to provide qualified students in their third year with an op-
portunity for independent and intensive study in one field, the Honors Pro-
gram is open to students who have an over-all B+ average and who have
demonstrated superior abilities in the field of their interest. Honors studies
are open in any of the departments of the curriculum with the consent of
the supervising professor or professors and the approval of the department.
A student who participates in the Honors Program must maintain a B+
average both in the required and Honors courses. At the close of the year
he is expected to stand an examination upon his entire Honors work. The
student will be excused from certain required work. He will receive 10 hours
credit each quarter for his Honors studies.

THE SCHEDULE

Columbia operates on the Quarter System. Each quarter consists of
approximately ten weeks for classes and one week for examinations. Co-
lumbia ordinarily gives work only during the fall, winter, and spring quar-
ters. The curriculum is designed for those beginning their work in the fall
quarter. Students entering at another quarter will experience difficulties in
scheduling their courses and may find that they cannot complete their re-
quired work in the usual nine quarters.

The simple unit of credit, the quarter hour, makes it easy for credits
from Columbia to be transferred to other graduate schools. Columbia's work
is accepted at full credit by leading graduate schools throughout the world
as a basis for advanced theological study.

EXAMINATIONS AND GRADING

At the close of each quarter written examinations are held on the sub-
jects studied during the quarter. In certain instances the professors may
require a term paper or papers in lieu of an examination.

Comprehensive examinations are also required of- all students, including
transfers, in English Bible and the Historical-Doctrinal field.

At the close of each quarter grades are given according to the following
system. A report of his grades is sent to each student and his presbytery.

A, excellent, 3 quality points per hour.
B+, very good, 2.5 quality points per hour.

B, good, 2 quality points per hour.

C+, average, 1.5 quality points per hour.

C, satisfactory, 1 quality point per hour.

D+, unsatisfactory, 0.5 quality points per hour.

D, inferior, quality points per hour.

E, conditioned, quality points per hour.

F, failure, minus 1 quality point per hour.

20

Any student who fails to make a C average in any quarter except the
first quarter of his first year will be placed on probation for the next quarter,
and if he fails to bring his average up during that quarter, he will be dropped
as a student. In the event that the student's overall average is C or better, he
will be permitted to remain as a student for another quarter on probation.

A student who fails to complete satisfactorily all of his academic work
will not be eligible for scholarship aid during the following quarter unless
special providential circumstances lead the faculty to make an exception in
his case.

DISTINCTIONS

Students who have secured an aggregate of 412 quality points in the
140 hours of work required for the B.D. degree graduate "Summa Cum
Laude." The distinction of "Magna Cum Laude" is awarded to those who
have earned 391 quality points; and those who have 362 quality points are
graduated "Cum Laude." In each of these cases the appropriate distinction
is recorded upon the student's diploma.

These academic honors are subject to revision or forfeiture if the stu-
dent's field or clinical education is plainly unsatisfactory in the judgment of
the faculty.

SUMMER READING PROGRAM

The faculty not only desires that students become competent in the
daily work of the Church, but also seeks to aid students in learning to read
and study in the midst of a busy parish program. In addition the faculty is
concerned that Columbia students broaden their perspectives and fields of
learning. Therefore each student is required to read an assigned number of
books during the summer between his first and second years and between his
second and third years. The list of books is drawn up by the faculty and a
report on the reading is required at the opening of the new school year.

SUMMER LANGUAGE SCHOOL

July 1 8 - September 2, 1967
July 16 -August 31, 1968

A reading knowledge of New Testament Greek is required for admission
to the B.D. program. Students who have not satisfactorily completed two
years of college Greek or in some other way prepared themselves so as to
pass the Seminary's qualifying examination should plan to attend the Sum-
mer Language School the summer before their first year at Columbia.

Courses 101 and 102, Elements of Hebrew, will also be taught if 10 or
more students desire to enroll for them.

21

The work in both Hebrew and Greek will be of an intensive nature. The
classes will meet for two hours a day six days a week. The study of one
language will occupy the full time of the student.

Application for the Summer Language School should be made to the
Dean of Students and a preference for either Greek or Hebrew should be
indicated. The tuition for the School is $90.

FIELD EDUCATION

The Field Education Program consists of two basic requirements. First,
during each school year each student will be involved in supervised small
group experiences designed to assist him in understanding the local church,
the local community and the Church-at-large. Second, each student is re-
quired to participate in two summers of approved field education, preferably
one summer in a local pastorate as student assistant or supply pastor, and the
other summer in some specialized ministry, such as clinical pastoral educa-
tion, inner-city work, camps and conferences, special service in World Mis-
sions or Church Extension, or National Parks Service. Satisfactory fulfillment
of this Field Education Program is required for graduation.

Within the Seminary's geographical area there are numerous oppor-
tunities for second and third year students to work within the church situ-
ations during the school year where they may earn income to help meet
personal expenses. The Field Education Department is responsible for ap-
proving and supervising all such student employment. Experience in supply
preaching, teaching in the local church, and various kinds of student as-
sistantships play an improtant part in the preparation for his ministry after
graduation.

ADDITIONAL SUPERVISED EDUCATION

Intern Years

Qualified students may take a theological internship of from nine to
fifteen months between their second and third years at the Seminary. This
period of off-campus study and practical experience is under both faculty
direction and local supervision. Though not a required part of the curricu-
lum, the faculty encourages students to take advantage of internships as a
means to further relate theological studies to the life and work of the church,
to gain a more objective appraisal of themselves and their need for further
study, and to gain skills which may not be attained through classroom work.
A specified program of reading is planned with a member of the faculty
before the internship begins, and periodic reports by both the intern and
his supervisor are required.

Clinical Pastoral Education

Clinical pastoral education is a first hand learning experience under
accredited supervision which provides theological students and pastors with

22

opportunities for intensive study of pastoral relationships, and which seeks
to make clear in understanding and practice the resources, methods and
meanings of the Christian faith as expressed through pastoral care. Colum-
bia's membership in the Council for Clinical Training, Inc., means that its
students will be given priority of choice in institutions elected and reduction
of training fees.

Columbia has taken major initiative in the organization of the Georgia
Association for Pastoral Care, Inc. The incorporating institutions in addition
to Columbia are the Candler School of Theology of Emory University,
Emory University Medical School, the Interdenominational Theological
Center, and the Greater Atlanta Council of Churches. The purposes of this
Association are for pastoral service and training with the conviction that
the best possible service affords the most adequate training for theological
students. The major institutions for training are the Georgian Clinic, Henry
W. Grady Memorial Hospital, Emory University Hospital, Georgia Baptist
Hospital, Youth Development Center, Milledgeville State Hospital, and the
Pastoral Counseling Center, Central Presbyterian Church, Atlanta. Second
year students are required to have training under supervision in one of these
institutions with staff members of the Association serving the Seminary in the
capacity of guest instructors. Additional elective work is also available in
these centers. The Association is an affiliate of the Council for Clinical
Training, Inc., the Institute for Pastoral Care, Inc., and the Southern Baptist
Association for Clinical Pastoral Education, Inc.

Radio and Television

Facilities and staff for instruction of students from Columbia Theological
Seminary, the Candler School of Theology and the Interdenominational
Theological Center are provided in the Department of Education of the
Protestant Radio and Television Center, a fully-equipped interdenomina-
tional center producing materials for the mass media. The work of the sev-
eral schools at the Center is coordinated by the Reverend David Abernathy,
S.T.M., who also offers specialized mass media courses on an interseminary
basis. (See courses 465, 467, 468 in this catalog.) Columbia Seminary's
pioneering use of the Center's video tape equipment for instruction in
homiletics has received nation-wide attention.

Palestinian Archaeology and History

Columbia Seminary is associated with the Institute for Mediterranean
Studies of Berkeley, California which sponsors an annual Near Eastern
Archaeological Seminar. Students who participate in this Seminar will spend
eight weeks in the Near East taking courses in Palestinian Archaeology and
History. The program includes three weeks of actual digging at an ancient
site in Palestine. Students will be given academic credit provided they suc-
cessfully complete the course program and submit the necessary transcript.
For further details contact Professor James H. Gailey, Jr.

counts on purchases made there.

HOUSING

Unmarried Students

Dormitory housing is available for unmarried students. Most of the
rooms are for double occupancy, many of them have connecting baths. All
rooms are fully furnished with the exception of linens. Laundry facilities are
provided. All students living in the dormitories are expected to eat in the
Seminary dining hall.

24

Married Students Without Children

the evening meal weekdays and Saturday dinner is $57.75 plus $1.74 Geor-
gia Sales Tax per quarter.

Married Students With Children

One, two and three bedroom unfurnished apartments are available for
married students with children. The rent for these apartments is from $44
to $64 per month depending on the size of the apartment. Applications for
apartments should be made as early as possible.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Scholarships

A number of scholarships are available, the amount granted to be deter-
mined by consideration of other available resources and the quality of work
done by the student. Application should be addressed to the President of
the Seminary. Scholarships are credited to the student's account in equal
quarterly installments.

Recipients are ordinarily expected to work for the Seminary, usually in
the library, dining hall or on the grounds.

Scholarships are not available for ordained ministers doing graduate
work.

Loans To Candidates

Loans up to but not to exceed $200.00 a year are provided by the
General Assembly's Board of Christian Education when actually needed.
Payments of this loan are in two installments: one in November and one in
February. Application is to be made through the Chairman of the Com-
mittee on Ministerial Candidates in the student's home presbytery.

Once a need is established, the Seminary may also assist with loans
from its own funds. It should be noted by the student that both need and
satisfactory academic progress are required for a loan and that, in every
case, satisfactory plans have to be made for repayment of loans.

Supply Preaching

Second and third year students may expect to receive some remuneration
for supply preaching, supervised by the Field Education Office.

SOCIETY FOR THEOLOGICAL SCHOLARSHIP

A student society "for the purpose of encouraging in every student the
highest possible scholarship in all departments of instruction." Membership
is open to all students and faculty on a voluntary basis. Lectures, informal
discussions with visiting lecturers, symposia by members of the faculty and
other meetings are sponsored in the interest of Christian scholarship.

SOCIETY OF MISSIONARY INQUIRY

The Society was founded in 1832 and has been an instrument through
the years to promote an active interest in world missions among the, student
body and throughout the Church. It annually conducts one of the largest
missions conferences for youth in the nation. The Society regularly brings
outstanding speakers before the student body. The program of the Society
has helped Columbia Seminary provide a large number of world missionaries.

THE CHOIR

The Seminary Choir has gained recognition throughout the Southeast by
its annual visits to churches in the supporting synods, its services for the
Columbia Friendship Circle Pilgrimage, and its recordings. It assists from
time to time with the worship services of the campus community. Member-
ship in it provides valuable training for our students. Dr. Hubert Vance
Taylor, the director, was for many years the director of music for the
Protestant Radio and Television Center where he prepared broadcasts for
the Protestant Hour, the National Radio Pulpit, and the Upper Room Radio
Parish. For more than twenty years he was Minister of Music, Central
Presbyterian Church, Atlanta.

26

WIVES' CLUB

This club is patterned after the Women of the Church with the purpose
of providing spiritual development and Christian fellowship. Membership
includes the wives of Seminary students, faculty and staff. Single girls and
wives of missionaries are invited as honorary members. General meetings
and circle Bible studies are held monthly. In addition, each quarter a faculty
member offers an evening course for wives.

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS

A Board of Student Publications, selected from the student body, provides
an opportunity for written discussion of important issues. The publications
staff publishes the semi-weekly VIEWPOINT on a variety of subjects and
a quarterly magazine discussing key issues. Both students and faculty are
encouraged to contribute to these publications.

STUDENT RECREATION

Columbia Seminary encourages its students to take advantage of the
recreational facilities provided on campus and in the surrounding communi-
ty. Three all-weather tennis courts, a volley ball court and an athletic field
are a part of the campus. Recreation lounges are provided in the Student
Center and local golf courses are easily accessible. Both intra-mural and
individual competition is conducted in various recreational activities. The city
recreation center and the Y.M.C.A. provide additional facilities for student
use.

CHURCH VOCATIONS WEEK-END

During each academic year a Church Vocations Week-end is conducted
offering college men an opportunity to think together about the nature of
the Christian ministry and to see first hand the place of the Seminary in
training men for service in the Church. Both students who are undecided
about their life's work and those who definitely intend to enter some form of
Church vocation are invited to attend.

ANNUAL MISSIONS CONFERENCE

Each year the Society of Missionary Inquiry sponsors a missions con-
ference at the Rock Eagle Conference Grounds near Eatonton, Georgia.
The conference is one of the largest in the nation for high school and
college students. From this conference, now in its 13th year, have come
candidates for mission service who after further training have gone to all
but one of our mission fields.

27

Continuing Education discussion with Professor Guthrie.

CONTINUING EDUCATION

Each quarter groups of twelve ministers each are invited to participate in
periods of independent study in the Seminary library. The individual study
of these men is supplemented by seminars led by the faculty and designed
to bring the men up to date on developments and books in the various fields
of theological study. In addition to this program of individual study, special
periods of study on a particular subject with seminars and lectures on that
subject supplementing individual study are also held from time to time.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

The program of the Alumni Association is directed by the Alumni
Council which is composed of executive officers elected by the Association
and an appointed representative from each Synod in the General Assembly.
The annual meeting of the Association is one of the principal events of
Ministers' Week each fall. In addition, local meetings are planned for synods
and presbyteries during the year.

Since 1940 the Association has supported the Alumni Fellowship Fund
enabling 57 graduates to be named Alumni Fellows and assisting financially
with their post-graduate study. A recent project of the Association was the
endowment of the James McDowell Richards Chair of Biblical Exposition.

OTHER MEETINGS

In addition to its own regularly planned conferences the Seminary serves
as host each year to many other groups. Committees of the General As-
sembly often meet on the campus. The Women of the Church hold Synodical
Conferences and Area Training meetings here annually. During the summer
the Christianity and Health Workshop uses the facilities of the Seminary.
During the academic year the Seminary provides housing for high school
students participating in the program of the Synod of Georgia Vocational
Guidance Center.

SUPPORT

OF THE

SEMINARY

Costs for a year's education exceed student fees by almost $2,000 for
each student at Columbia Seminary. This $2,000 is part of the Church's
annual investment in those men and women who have dedicated their lives
to places of full-time service in the Church. Through the budgeted benevo-
lences of the five supporting synods, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi
and South Carolina, from the investment of endowed funds, and by special
gifts of friends Columbia Seminary meets its expenses.

Gifts to Columbia provide many things. Scholarships not only help stu-
dents pay their bills, but also remind them of the interest and concern of
men and women in the Church and thus encourage them in their studies.
Fellowships and Academic Awards not only provide special educational op-
portunities but also stimulate excellence of preparation in basic studies. Gifts
to endowment not only honor and perpetuate the interest of Christian friends,
but also underwrite day-to-day expenses and provide for increased service
through growth and development of facilities and program.

The task of theological edcuation is a responsibility Columbia shares
with the whole Church. On the following pages we acknowledge the par-
ticular ways Christian men and women have aided us in fulfilling our role in
theological education. Many friends, through small and large gifts, have
faithfully supported Columbia and here we mention gifts that have exceeded
$500. The list also gives a picture of opportunities for other donors to share
in the important work of preparing men and women for places of Christian
service, both with their gifts now and through their wills.

29

COLUMBIA FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE

Columbia Friendship Circle is an organization of more than 12,000
friends of the Seminary who carry out an annual program with a three-fold
purpose: 1. They seek to understand the work of the Seminary and pray
for its mission; 2. They encourage able young men in their homes and
communities to consider the Gospel Ministry as they plan their life's work;
3. They sustain their interest in the work of the Seminary by an annual
membership gift.

Each year several hundred members make a pilgrimage to the Seminary
during which a project for the coming year is adopted. In recent years
Columbia Friendship Circle has had as its projects the providing of Friend-
ship Hall, an apartment dormitory; the equipment for the Seminary kitchen;
and the remodeling and refurnishing of Simons-Law Dormitory; and the
establishment of a fund to expand the Continuing Education Program.

THOMAS SMYTH FOUNDATION LECTURERS

Through a generous bequest of Rev. Thomas Smyth, D.D., who was for
years the pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Charleston, South
Carolina, a lectureship bearing the name of its founder was established at
Columbia Seminary in 1911. Each year a distinguished scholar is invited to
deliver a series of lectures to the seminary community.

ACADEMIC AWARDS

The Fannie Jordan Bryan Fellowships

Established by the will of the late Mrs. Fannie Jordan Bryan of Colum-
bia, South Carolina, to promote interest in scholarship among students and
to provide better trained leaders for the Church. Stipends make possible a
year of graduate studies in seminaries and universities in America and
abroad.

The Alumni Fellowship Fund

Established by the Senior Class of 1941 and supported by the Alumni
Association to promote the welfare of their Alma Mater and of the Church.
Two fellowships are usually awarded annually.

The Anna Church Whitner Memorial Fellowship

Established in 1928 by the late William C. Whitner, LL.D., of Rock Hill,
South Carolina, in memory of his mother, an earnest, consecrated and de-
voted Christian. Eight Whitner fellows have been able to pursue advanced
studies in American and European universities.

30

Indiantown Church Award

Established by the Indiantown Presbyterian Church in Hemingway,
South Carolina, to encourage interest in and promote the development of
Country Church work. In explaining the motive for their action, the donors
have written: "This award is made available with the hope and prayer that
more of our worthy young men may catch a vision of the possibilities of
the Country Church, and dedicate the ministry of their lives to rural areas."

This prize is awarded annually to the third year student who makes the
most outstanding record of work in a rural church or field during the sum-
mer months between his second and third years in the institution.

James Robertson Howerton Award

Dr. J. R. Howerton was one of the ablest and most useful of the Colum-
bia alumni. He served as pastor of some of our strongest churches, taught at
Stillman and later at Washington and Lee, established Montreat, and pub-
lished two very thoughtful books. Columbia is happy to have his name and
influence commemorated in a cash award to the student writing the best
paper in Presbyterian History and Polity.

Wilds Book Prize

Established by Louis T. Wilds, Esq., ruling Elder of the First Presby-
terian Church, Columbia, South Carolina, to provide an annual book prize
for a student elected by the faculty for distinction in his academic work.

Paul T. Fuhrmann Book Prize

The Paul T. Fuhrmann Book Prize in Church History was established
in 1962 by an alumnus of the Seminary for the purpose of stimulating
Christian scholarship. The award is made annually to a student who has
shown outstanding achievement in Church History.

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS

The Thomas M. Barbee Scholarship Fund

This endowment of $68,000 was established in 1952 by the late Reverend
Thomas M. Barbee, D.D., of Mexico, Missouri, to provide several generous
scholarships for students who agree to serve in rural fields for as much as
five years after graduation from Columbia Seminary.

Second Presbyterian Church Education Scholarships

In 1821 The Education Society of The Second Presbyterian Church of
Charleston, S. C. was organized "to assist in educatiing some pious promis-
ing young men of talent preparatory to a course of theological studies or in
maintaining them at the Theological Seminary." More than $70,000.00 has
been sent to Columbia Seminary to help worthy theological students com-
plete their education at this historic School of The Prophets. Scholarships
are provided each year by the faithful women of The Second Presbyterian
Church of Charleston, S. C.

31

The George Henry Cornelson, D.D., Scholarship Fund

In March 1959 the Bailey Foundation of Clinton, S. C, established an
endowment of $25,000.00 to provide scholarships in memory of the late
Rev. George Henry Cornelson, D.D. A native of South Carolina, Dr. Cor-
nelson graduated from Columbia Seminary in 1895, having previously earn-
ed his B.A. at Davidson College, which later conferred upon him his honor-
ary degree. He was distinguished as a presbyter, a pastor, and a preacher,
and served at various times as pastor of churches in Arkansas, South Caro-
lina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Louisiana. His last pastorate was in
the First Presbyterian Church of New Orleans, La. Preference in the award
of scholarships will be given to students who will lend their efforts to the
need of industrial communities.

The William V. Gardner Scholarship

Established by the Berean Bible Class of the First Presbyterian Church
in Atlanta in honor of Dr. William V. Gardner, pastor of that church from
1936-1952, and for many years Chairman of the Board of Directors of
Columbia Seminary.

The Edgar Watkins Scholarship

Established by the Berean Bible Class of the First Presbyterian Church
in Atlanta in honor of Judge Edgar Watkins, eminent lawyer, civic leader,
Elder in the Presbyterian Church for over forty years and teacher of the

DEGREES
AND

COURSES

mmmM

The basic academic program at Columbia Seminary leads to the standard
degree traditionally offered by seminaries of all denominations, the Bachelor
of Divinity. The curriculum for this degree provides required course work
to help the student begin to understand the Bible, the history of the life and
thought of the church, the people to whom he will minister and the work of
the church today with special emphasis on the work of a local pastor. The
Presbyterian Church has traditionally expected its pastors to be educationally
well prepared and this curriculum seeks to start the students on a path lead-
ing toward that goal. Though the basic studies are designed primarily for men
and women who plan to serve in pastoral positions in local churches, gradu-
ates of the seminary find themselves well equipped by their studies to pursue
further graduate work or to enter into specialized ministries. In order to
provide opportunities for students to pursue areas of special interest twenty
percent of the academic credit required for graduation is received through
elective studies and students suitably prepared may do honors work in their
third year.

Columbia also offers courses of study leading to the Th.M. and M.C.E.
degrees. The Master of Theology program is designed for students holding
the B.D. degree who wish to increase their understanding of some particular
area of theological studies. The goal of such studies would ordinarily be
increased proficiency as a pastor, for the program is not especially designed
for those who desire to pursue doctoral studies. The student seeking the
Th.M. degree may concentrate his studies in any area of Columbia's academic
curriculum or may pursue a special program of clinical and academic studies
leading to a Th.M. degree in Clinical Pastoral Care.

The Master of Christian Education program is designed for those stu-
dents who have received a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or
university and wish to prepare for place of leadership in the educational
program of the Church such as a Director or Minister of Christian Education.
The two year course of studies for this degree includes basic courses in each
area of theological studies plus additional specialized work in Christian
Education.

35

BACHELOR OF DIVINITY

The standard degree of the Seminary is the Bachelor of Divinity (B.D.).
Its requirements are as follows:

of credits showing graduation with a bachelor's degree from an accredited
university or college of liberal arts and sciences, or its equivalent.

2. The candidate must satisfactorily complete all academic requirements of
the Seminary. These include the required courses together with enough
electives to bring the total of credits to 145, and other academic require-

nine quarters. The candidate must achieve an overall average of C for
the Seminary course.

3. The requirements of the Seminary's department of Field Education must
be satisfactorily completed.

A*Si^'

T-V training in cooperation with the Protestant Radio and TV Center.

ENGLISH COURSE

Students from the five Synods supporting Columbia Seminary who are
received by their presbyteries under the extraordinary case clause of the
Book of Church Order may be granted a Diploma from the Seminary upon
the completion of 140 hours of work with a minimum of a C average after a
period of nine quarters in residence at the Seminary. Students who take the
English Course are permitted to omit Hebrew, and when they do not have
the necessary preparation in Greek, they are permitted to omit certain
courses in New Testament exegesis. They must satisfy all other requirements
of the Seminary.

Application for admission to the English Course must be accompanied
by a written request from the student's presbytery, and the Seminary re-
serves the right to apply any tests of the student's ability which may be help-
ful in determining the suitability of the course for him.

WORLD MISSIONS CANDIDATES

So that their one-year program of study may be planned to give them the
best preparation for their missionary service, all world missions candidates
are required to confer with the Professor of Missions and the Dean of In-
stuction concerning the particular courses they will take.

UNCLASSIFIED STUDENTS

In some instances students not enrolled in a regular program of study
will be allowed to take courses at the Seminary as special students. A tran-
script of courses completed will be granted to such students.

37

MASTER OF THEOLOGY

The degree of Master of Theology (Th.M.) is granted to a student who
has spent a year or more in graduate study, has completed satisfactorily at
least thirty-five hours of work in residence with grades that average at least
B, has presented an acceptable thesis, and has passed a final oral examina-
tion. The work for the degree must be completed within three academic years
after the student has been admitted to candidacy.

Specialization

A student may specialize in any subdivision of the three major fields of
the curriculum. Fifteen hours must be taken in the field of specialization, and
an additional ten hours must be taken either in that field or in related courses.
Ten hours must be taken in courses approved for graduate study outside the
department of specialization. A student intending to specialize in the area
of pastoral care and counseling is required to have clinical training with the
Council for Clinical Pastoral Training, Inc., as specified by the Professor of
Pastoral Counseling.

Admission To Study In The Graduate Department

Admission to study in the graduate department is granted by the Dean of
the Graduate Department and the Admissions Committee of the faculty,
proper application having been made through the Dean. The B.D. degree or
its academic equivalent and courses in Hebrew and Greek are prerequisite. If
a student's B.D. course required less than the two biblical languages, he may
substitute an approved language for one of them. Those students who plan
to do their major work in the Old or New Testament departments must be
able to handle the appropriate language with ease. In addition each applicant
is expected to present evidence of achievement and competence as a student.
Rarely can a student be expected to do satisfactory graduate work if he has
not maintained at least a B average in his college and seminary work. Tests
to determine aptitude and psychological fitness are required and must be
taken during the orientation period.

Admission to Candidacy

Admission to candidacy is by vote of the faculty, proper application hav-
ing been made in writing to the Committee on Graduate Work. The faculty
meeting in October is the deadline for admission to candidacy if the student
expects to receive his degree the following May.

Costs

In addition to tuition, which is the same as for the B.D. program, Gradu-
ate Students will be charged a thesis fee to be paid as follows: $25.00 to
accompany the application for admission to candidacy; and $25.00 at the
beginning of the fall quarter each year thereafter until the degree is received.
Failure to pay the fee will constitute withdrawal from the program.

Association With Emory University

Students working for their Th.M. at Columbia may, with the approval of
their sponsoring professor and the Dean of the Graduate Department, take
courses offered by the Candler School of Theology of Emory for full resi-
dence credit. This working agreement appreciably widens the offerings of
both schools. No extra fees are charged; the student pays the regular fees to
the school in which he is enrolled.

38

TH.M IN CLINICAL PASTORAL CARE

In addition to the Th.M. in Pastoral Theology a program in Clinical
Pastoral Care is designed primarily to enable the parish minister to accom-
plish his work of shepherding more effectively. At the same time, this pro-
gram should be regarded as prerequisite to either military or institutional
chaplaincies.

The requirements for admission and graduation pertain to this degree as
for the same degree in any other field with the exception of the thesis and
the inclusion of clinical training, research requirement and pastoral coun-
seling.

For this degree an intern year is required in one of the institutions of the
Georgia Association for Pastoral Care, Inc., or in an institution accredited
by the Council for Clinical Training, Inc. The Association is an affiliate of
the Council, and the Seminary is an active member of the Council.

Having completed this year satisfactorily, the student will then continue
his program in residence to complete satisfactorily the required thirty-five
hours of academic work as specified for other major fields. In addition the
student will participate in the graduate practicum in pastoral counseling and
will work under qualified supervision in the Counseling Center, Central
Presbyterian Church, a part of the Pastoral Counseling Service, Georgia As-
sociation for Pastoral Care, Inc.

In lieu of a thesis, a student will be assigned a research project by the
Department of Pastoral Care which must be completed to the satisfaction
of the Department.

credit from other approved institutions, but in no case can a student earn
this degree who has not spent at least a full year in residence.

Students will ordinarily be expected to participate in supervised field
education as a part of their prescribed program.

The degree will be awarded upon the satisfactory completion of the
course of study outlined above, upon the successful demonstration of a
sufficient grasp of the major fields of study by an oral or written examina-
tion, and by giving evidence of adequate ability to do field education.

Students enrolling in this course must be properly recommended for
admission by competent authorities in their denomination, must submit
transcripts showing their college credits and degrees, and must be accepted
by the Admissions Committee of the faculty. Application blanks will be
sent upon request.

THE NEW CURRICULUM

In 1965 the Faculty approved a plan for a new curriculum which began
with the entering class in the fall of 1966. The general three year program
of required work is outlined below, followed by descriptions of the courses.
In the new curriculum 140 hours will be required for graduation instead of
145 in the old curriculum. 112 of these hours are in designated areas with
28 hours normally allowed for electives according to the student's needs and
interests. A schedule of electives is now in process of being worked out so as
to provide balance and enrichment to the curriculum. A plan of continual
evaluation and revision is also part of this new program.

The Faculty has tried to preserve the best of the former curriculum but
to begin the development of a new curriculum which better relates to the
changing patterns of college and university education and to the needs of the
Church as it is called to serve in the contemporary world. In this development
the Faculty continually seeks a curriculum which reflects faithfulness to the
Gospel and serves as a context in which both faculty and students grow in
spiritual maturity.

One aim of the new curriculum is a better integration of material which
has tended to be fragmentized. The four traditional fields are combined into
three major areas of study: Biblical, Historical-Doctrinal, Pastoral, with all
three related to Field Education. Combining the Historical and Doctrinal into
one area should assist the student in studying history theologically and
theology historically. The Biblical Area combines in the same course the
study of the Bible in Hebrew or Greek with its study in English, introductory
and critical questions with biblical theology. Since the candidate for the B.D.
degree makes use of one of the original languages every quarter at Semi-
nary, he must have a reading knowledge of biblical Greek at the beginning
of his first year. Special provision is made for Christian education and non-
degree students.

A variety of teaching methods seeks to utilize in a better way the gifts
of different faculty members and to meet the needs of different students with
varying abilities and academic backgrounds. Emphasis is given to team teach-
ing and small group work, providing opportunity for close faculty-student
relationships. Students who are weak in particular areas receive special help
through the small group approach. Students who demonstrate unusual pro-
ficiency in particular areas are given a more flexible schedule of study in
place of normal requirements. Third year students who qualify can par-
ticipate in the Honors Program which gives opportunity for independent and
intensive study in one field.

Field education is integrated with other areas of the curriculum so that
both faculty and students can more readily relate their studies on the campus
with what is happening in the Church and the community and the world. The
resources of the churches and other institutions and agencies in Greater At-
lanta can contribute much to a theological education adequate for the day
in which the Church is called to serve.

FIELD EDUCATION

The Field Education Program requires the participation of students in the
work of the church both during the three academic and the two summers of their
seminary studies. The program for each of the three academic years is described
below. The summer program involves one summer in a local pastorate as student
assistant or supply pastor and the other summer preferably in some specialized
ministry. Further information may be found in the general information section
of this catalog or obtained from the Director of Field Education.

First Year

This experience in Field Education is designed to introduce each first year stu-
dent to the local Church from an alert pastor's prospective. The class is divided
into small groups under the supervision of professors in the Pastoral Area. Each
group is assigned to one of the churches in the Atlanta area for the purpose of
studying the worship and work of the congregation and understanding the role of
the pastor in relation to the congregation and the community.

Recreation and audio-visual workshops will also be provided during the year.

46

Second Year

In the second year an attempt is made to understand the dynamics present in
local community hfe where the congregation must function as the Church. Pro-
fessors from the Biblical and Historical-Doctrinal Areas supervise this investigation
by the second year students in the context of small groups. Visits are made to
institutions and agencies in the community with the expectation of seeing the
relevance of seminary studies to the individual and corporate life of people and
the involvement that the Church is to have in the community.

Third Year

In the third year the focus is on the life of the Church-at-large. The program of
the Presbyterian Church, U.S. is presented through visits to boards and agencies
of our denomination and consultation with staff members. A study is also made
of the resources of interdenominational relationships and organizations.

In the Spring Quarter consideration is given to the place of presbytery exam-
ination in our Church and preparation for it.

47

THE OLD CURRICULUM

On the pages that fallow are the course descriptions for the old curricu-
lum. This is the curriculum under which students graduating in 1967 and
1968 will complete their work. It also indicates for graduate students the
elective courses Which the faculty anticipates teaching during 1967-68. All
courses for first and second year students have been deleted, as students
beginning their studies at Columbia in 1966 and 1967 will follow the new
curriculum described on the preceding pages.

Group 1

BIBLICAL FIELD

The Church has always emphasized the importance of the original lang-
uage 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 ^rninary
endeavors to fit the students for the ministry to use intelligently and ef-
fectively the original languages in interpreting the Sacred Oracles.

HISTORICAL FIELD

CHURCH HISTORY AND HISTORICAL THEOLOGY

The Church is the people of God gathered around the Messiah. She
is the listening, worshipping and witnessing community living under the
Reign of Grace and looking for the Reign of Glory. As she was founded,
so has she been carried onward by the Mighty acts of God in Christ Jesus.
Across the ages she is advancing with the Bible as her guide and her am-
munition.

The Church appears in various forms under different cultures among
sundry peoples and in changing epochs. The history of the Church treats of
her missionary work, her doctrine and her worship, her organization and
her vindication. In addition to the account of these several phases in the
general course, institutions receive special attention in the course on Pres-
byterian history and polity, defense against opposing views in Apologetics,

PASTORAL FIELD

A. THE TEACHING MINISTRY

The Church, according to Scripture, is a school. The responsibility for
the teaching ministry of the Church belongs to the whole congregation;
nevertheless, the minister as the teaching elder has a position of leadership
in this task. He is charged by the Book of Church Order "to catechise the
children and youth and to oversee the educational program of the church.**

To help equip the seminary graduate for this aspect of his ministry, two
basic courses are required of all students. The first, No. 400, seeks to intro-
duce the student to the nature of the teaching iriinistry while the second,
No. 401, deals with the practical aspects of the ministry in the local church.

Elective courses are offered to assist interested students in pursuing a
deeper understanding of the teaching ministry.

This course is designed to prepare ministers for their role in dealing practically
and effectively with the organization and administration of the total program

curricula, and the teaching-learning process.

skilled in teaching the Bible. This is just as true for Directors of Christian Edu-
cation and for missionaries. This is a course in practice teaching in which
members of the class will teach selected books or passages from the Bible
