GROUNDBREAKING

DECATUR

Moved to Decatur in 1928 at the suggestion of the Board of Directors in
order once again "To light up another sun which shall throw farther West
the light of the Gospel." The wisdom of this move is now evident, since
Columbia today is in the center of the Presbyterian Church, U. S., and
serves one of the fastest growing areas of the United States.

"The fruit of your study, well substantiated, is that
Columbia Seminary has influenced the life of the South-
ern Presbyterian Church far more than any other institu-
tion . . ."

REV. S. M. TENNEY, D.D.

First Curator of the Historical
Foundation of our General Assembly

A LOOK AT THE FUTURE . . .

After a number of meetings and extensive individual studies and suggestions,
the above Survey Committee made a unanimous report. There were six
main topics, as follows:

1 Things of Which Columbia's Friends May Be Proud This
covers such items as enormous territory, increasing population, strength-
ened Presbyterianism, Atlanta location, beautiful campus, able and well
trained faculty, dedicated administration, and gratifying service to the
Church.

2 Items Which Need Serious Thought These include careful
selection of students, methods of stimulating a high degree of scholarship,
the amount of field work to be done by students, the heavy load carried by
faculty members, inadequacy of income for current support, and the need
for more buildings and equipment.

3 The Present Needs of The Seminary Detailed items are pre-
sented calling for $2,150,000 for new buildings and equipment. Details are
also shown as to needs for additional faculty and staff members, whose
support will call for an increase of $3,000,000 in Columbia's endowment
funds.

4 Planning for Future Needs It is the judgment of the Com-
mittee that by 1970 it will be necesary to provide for 160 additional students.

5 Financial Needs for 1970 To provide for 160 more students,
six additional faculty members will be required and more buildings and
endowment a total of $5,900,000 above that mentioned above. Annual
current support from Synods ought to be increased by at least 50 per cent.

6 Some Long Range Responsibilities The Committee feels that
Columbia ought to look forward to giving graduate work of a high order
leading to a doctor's degree and to training Directors of Christian Education,
but did not estimate the cost of these important developments.

THE CAMPUS

SIMONS AND LAW HALL

This building is divided into four sections, two of which at each end of the
structure bear the names of the Seminary's former dormitories in Columbia.
Constructed of red brick, faced with gray limestone, and of Gothic design,
this dormitory- is steam heated and furnished with beds, mattresses, pillows,
study tables and book shelves.

STUDENT APARTMENT BUILDINGS

These two buildings have accommodations in one, two and three-bedroom
apartments for students with families. All student housing is adjacent to
kindergartens, playgrounds and high schools.

A separate building which contains laundry facilities is located near the
three apartment buildings.

17

CAMPBELL HALL

The Administration Building contains classrooms, the chapel, a student
parlor and offices for the administration and faculty as well as guest rooms.
Modern audio-equipped studios and practice booths are located on the
ground floor of Campbell Hall, and provision is also made for the use of tape
recording machines, sound motion-picture projectors, slide projectors,
opaque projectors, and record players. This building was erected by the
late Mr. John Bulow Campbell in memory of his mother.

FRIENDSHIP HALL

This beautiful apartment building with accommodations for twelve families
was one of the projects of the Columbia Friendship Circle. It is one of the
attractive features of the campus.

18

FLORIDA HALL

Florida Hall provides suites of two rooms with private bath for forty-eight
couples in addition to several apartments for visiting professors and space
on the fourth floor for single students. Accommodations are not available in
this building for married couples with children, laundry facilities are pro-
vided on each floor.

STUDENT CENTER

The air-conditioned Student Center houses the refectory, several lounges,
a game room, classrooms, offices, a book store and the post office.

19

MISSION HAVEN

The Women of the Church of Columbia's five supporting synods have pro-
vided funds to build and maintain eight apartments and a home for mis-
sionaries on furlough. Having missionary families on the campus provides
for students an association with these representatives of our Church's out-
reach to the world.

JOHN BULOW CAMPBELL LIBRARY

The library contains one of the most extensive collections of theological
literature in the South. This air-conditioned building has a capacity of
100,000 volumes and contains a beautiful Gothic reading room, carrels for
individual students, a room for audio-visual education, a seminar room, a
typing room and adequate offices and work space for the staff.
A collection of magnetic tapes of sermons, lectures, and worship services
by outstanding churchmen is available in the library. Mr. and Mrs. Harlow
M. Russell provided a group of these in memory of Susan V. Russell, and
additions are being made continually to provide more adequately for the
instruction of students in preaching and other disciplines.

20

THE COMMUNITY

EDUCATIONAL

The Greater University Center, including Emory University, Agnes Scott
College, Georgia Institute of Technology, The University of Georgia, Ogle-
thorpe University, Georgia State College of Business Administration, the
Atlanta Art Association and Columbia Seminary cooperate 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
of the various libraries. By special arrangement students in one institution
are permitted to take courses in member institutions. Distinguished lecturers
are provided by the University Center each year.

CULTURAL

Atlanta has long enjoyed the reputation of outstanding musical interests,
and an opportunity to hear Metropolitan Opera, outstanding stage pro-
ductions, famous musicians, national literary figures. Preachers, educators,
scholars and political leaders are a part of the student's experience in the
Atlanta area.

RELIGIOUS

The Presbyterian Center is the home of the Stated Clerk of the General
Assembly, the General Council of the Presbyterian Church, U. S., the Board
of Church Extension with its Divisions, the Board of Women's Work, the
Board of Annuities and Relief, the Presbyterian Book Store and the As-
sembly's Committee on the Minister and His Work. Students obviously
benefit by local contact with these boards.

Other centers of interest are the Regional Office of the National Council
of Churches and the Protestant Radio and Television Center.

LOCAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRAINING
AND EMPLOYMENT

Atlanta Presbytery, the largest Presbytery in the General Assembly, pro-
vides active training for students in every phase of the work of the church.
Since Columbia Seminary is located in one of the fastest growing areas
of the United States, there is an exceptionally fine opportunity for training
and employment of students. Senior and Middle classmen are encouraged
to supply vacant churches under the supervision of the Director of Field
Work.

21

RECREATION

Sports in Metropolitan Atlanta include professional baseball, the Georgia
Tech Yellow Jackets and the University of Georgia Bulldogs. Major na-
tional sports spectaculars take place in Atlanta each year.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

MEDICAL FACILITIES

Students at the Seminary share in a voluntary group insurance plan and
have available splendid hospital and medical facilities.

CLIMATE

Atlanta, with the highest elevation of any major city in the United States
except Denver, has a year around climate that provides for outside activities
of all kinds. Surrounded by lakes, mountains, lovely natural scenery and
noted for its beautiful homes, the area is becoming known throughout the
United States for its good living. This, in addition to its strategic location
in the Church, adds much to the advantages already stated in this section.

22

STUDENT LIFE

HOUSING

Three student apartment buildings are available for married couples with
children. Florida Hall provides accommodations for couples without chil-
dren, and adequate space is available for single students to have private
rooms.

STUDENT RECREATION

Local golf courses are easily accessible to students. Three all-weather tennis
courts, a basketball court, a volley ball court and an athletic field are a part
of the Campus. Recreation lounges are provided in the Student Center and
guest lounges are provided in Florida Hall.

"Cobby Ware, nationally known golfer. 1960 Southern Intercollegiate
champion. Has participated in five National Open and Amateur Cham-
pionships. Voted 'Amateur Golfer of the Year' in Georgia in 1961."

M. McCoy Franklin, Guard, University of Tennessee Football Team.

23

THE SEMINARY CHOIR

Professor Hubert Vance Taylor, prominent choir director, arranges annual
tours for the Seminary Choir and also provides music for local churches
and regular Seminary worship services.

SCHOOLS AND KINDERGARTENS

Children of Seminary students will find excellent school facilities adjacent
to the Campus.

SOCIAL LIFE

Pleasant social contacts are enjoyed by students with the Seminary faculty,
local neighbors and Atlanta congregations. Faculty and students share in
social activities on the Campus and faculty homes are always open to
students.

SOCIETY FOR THEOLOGICAL SCHOLARSHIP

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

SOCIETY OF MISSIONARY INQUIRY

The Society maintains an interest in mission enterprises, conducts one of
the best attended mission conferences in our Church, and brings outstanding
speakers before the student body. Its program accounts largely for the fact
that Columbia provides a surprisingly large number of world missionaries.

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. Meetings are
held monthly.

ENTRANCE TO CAMPBELL HALL

25

OF SPECIAL INTEREST

CHAPEL

Baccalaureate Service

Amidst the preoccupation of individual research, classroom activities, class
preparation and other academic pursuits, a constant effort is made to pro-
vide spiritual warmth and devotional life for students. Attendance at daily
chapel services is expected of all students. This is true also of other stated
religious activities held on the Campus.

SPECIAL LECTURES

Rev. James A. Jones, D.D. Rev. Wm. Childs Robinson, D.D.

Rev. Murdo Ewen McDonald, D.D.

A bequest by Rev. Thomas Smyth, D.D., pastor, Second Presbyterian
Church, Charleston, South Carolina, in 1911 established an annual lecture-
ship to bring men of worthy character and distinguished learning to de-
liver lectures on the fundamental principles of the Christian faith. The
Seninary also brings other distinguished scholars annually to lecture during
Ministers' Week.

26

THEOLOGICAL INTERNSHIPS

Columbia Seminary has pioneered in clinical training for many years. Mid-
dlers and Seniors selected by the faculty with the approval of the Presby-
teries concerned are permitted to take an additional year in practical
training under the supervision of a pastor or some official of the Presbytery
as well as that of the Department of Field Work at the Seminary.

FIELD WORK

The Field Work Department is responsible for placing and supervising
students while at the Seminary. Wide opportunity is available for numerous
kinds of field work. Students, if approved by the Field Work Depart-
ment, may work in a paid status in order to help meet personal expenses.
Students are required to engage in field work during the summer in order
to qualify for graduation.

CLINICAL TRAINING IN PASTORAL
COUNSELING

Since Columbia is a member of the Council for Clinical Training, Inc.,
students may take an internship in various recommended clinical centers,
including local churches, hospitals, prisons and other rehabilitation centers.

27

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

Columbia believes that everything possible should be done to help new stu-
dents 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 Semi-
nary in the fall. This program is without extra expense to the students ex-
cept for an appropriate charge for board.

Columbia's program includes the following elements:

1. An opportunity for new students to get acquainted with one another
and with student body leaders and members of the Faculty before the
"rush" of routine work starts;

2. Instruction concerning the use of a theological library as a means of
saving time and effort later;

3. Suggestions regarding the most effective methods of approach to the-
ological studies;

4. A battery of psychological and achievement tests similar to those used
in other educational institutions and designed to help students meet par-
ticular deficiencies of preparation and personality adjustment;

5. Periods of worship and inspiration designed to set the tone of work in
the Seminary upon a high spiritual plane.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

The Alumni of Columbia Seminary, always an intensely loyal group, are
banded into an Association which seeks to make an increasing contribution
to the welfare of the institution. The annual business meeting of the Alumni
Association is one of the principal events of Ministers' Week in the fall.
For a number of years the Association has promoted an Alumni Sharing
Fund through which graduates of the Seminary have given to the support
of the institution.

Dr. David E. Wilkinson, Chaplain of The Presbyterian Hospital, Charlotte,
North Carolina, is president of the Association.

President Richards makes report to Alumni on pro-
gress of Development Program at the Seminary

Columbia is fortunate in having a strong Alumni Association with an
annual Alumni Day observance for graduates who return to the Seminary
to review the work and life of the institution. Dr. Richards, above, re-
views the Development Program now in progress in which several new
buildings and other improvements are being made as a result of $4,000,000
in cash and pledges that has been secured to date toward a goal of $5,000,-
000 to be raised by 1964. This is the first phase of a long-range program
to be completed by 1970 in an effort to raise $10,000,000 for facilities to
accommodate a student body of four-hundred and to provide for post-
graduate theological study.

REV. S. BARTON BABBAGE, D.D.

Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne, Australia

Columbia is fortunate each year in having guest professors from institu-
tions and churches throughout the world, who bring to the campus a
variety of rich intellectual and social gifts. Dr. Babbage served as a vis-
iting member of the Faculty during the Fall Quarter of 1961.

SEMINAR IN SESSION

Much of the student's academic experience is found in a number of semi-
nars where professors and students in small groups are given an oppor-
tunity to discuss and assess assigned areas of thought in an informal and
more intensive manner than would be possible in a classroom situation.

ACCREDITATION
AND INSTRUCTION

Columbia Seminary is a member of the American Association of Theologi-
cal Schools and its work is fully acceptable to graduate schools throughout
the world as a basis for advanced theological study.

It should be kept in mind that Columbia is a graduate school; that students
at Columbia are faced with disciplines involving research, exploration, self-
examination, intellectual struggle and growth, and that the inspiration
often experienced and enjoyed at summer conferences, Sunday Schools,
young people's meetings and other such experiences may not always be
found in this process. To the contrary, students at Columbia in their strug-
gle for knowledgeable competence often become discouraged and impatient
as are students in any other fields of graduate study. It is the feeling of
the administration and faculty that conviction should grow out of honest
examination of the facts in all areas of human experience and that God is
more effectively served by those men who apply themselves to the task
at hand with diligence and integrity. Intellectual attainments should go
hand in hand with spiritual growth as a preparation for the ministry.

ADMISSION

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Students desiring admission to Columbia Seminary should file with the
Director of Admissions the following:

1. An application for admission upon a form furnished upon request, ac-
companied by a registration fee of $10.00 to be applied toward pay-
ment of fees for the first quarter.

2. A letter from endorsing agencies in his church authorizing him to
enter Columbia Seminary.

3. A health certificate on a form prescribed by the Seminary.

4. Letters of reference as requested.

5. Transcript of record at the last institution attended.

COLLEGE PREPARATION

Admission to Columbia Seminary requires a four-year college degree which
should involve completion of at least the proposed minimum pre-seminary
work as outlined below. Students without four years of pre-seminary prep-
aration are not eligible to earn degrees at the Seminary and are not en-
couraged to apply for admission.

Concentration

Concentration of work, or "majoring," is a common practice in colleges.
For such concentration- or major, a constructive sequence based upon any
one, or three of the above fields of study would lead up naturally to a
theological course.

(N.B. The foregoing statement is in line with recommendations made
by the American Association of Theological Schools and is published here
at the request of the General Assembly of our Church, which has approved
it. The suggestions included should be carefully studied by all candidates
for the ministry who have not completed their college training. )

TRANSFERS

Students in good standing in other recognized seminaries may be admitted
after transcripts have been evaluated and their applications approved by
the Admissions Office. Ordinarily more than one year in residence is re-
quired for graduation.

32

REPORTS TO PRESBYTERIES

The Seminary regularly reports to the proper authorities in the presbytery
the results of each term of work as indicated by the student's attendance,
punctuality, deportment, diligence, and scholastic standing.

A student who fails to complete satisfactorily all of his academic work,
or otherwise prove himself a worthy candidate, 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.

PLEDGE

In addition to meeting the foregoing qualifications for admission to the
Seminary, the Board of Directors requires each student to subscribe to the
following declaration:

"Deeply impressed with a sense of the importance of improving in knowl-
edge, 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
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 direc-
tors of the Seminary while I shall continue a member of it."

FINANCES

Tuition $400.00, payable $134.00 fall quarter, $133.00 for the spring and
winter quarters.

* Tuition for less than 10 quarter hours will be at the rate of $13.35 per

33

APARTMENTS

Most of the thirty seminary apartments are furnished, with the exception of
linen, silver, china and cooking utensils. Furniture provided by the Seminary
may not be moved from an apartment. Applications for apartments should
be made as early in the year as possible. A few unfurnished apartments are
available.

DIETICIAN

Mrs. J. Holmes Smith, dietician and hostess, assisted by a staff, some of
whom have been with the Seminary for many years, provides well bal-
anced meals on a non-profit basis.

BOOKS

Seminary students operate a branch of the Presbyterian Book Store where
purchases can be made of all required text books plus a wide selection of
other religious literature at advantageous rates.

SELF-HELP

Atlanta provides ample opportunity for employment on a part-time basis.
The Boy's Club, Atlanta YMCA and the Decatur Recreation Board are
among the many such possibilities. Middlers and Seniors may serve as
supply preachers by arrangement with the Director of Field Work.

Not many students are able to carry a normal academic load and at the
same time engage in outside work. This should be considered when making
plans for attending the Seminary.

SCHOLARSHIPS

A number of scholarships are available, the amount granted to be de-
termined by consideration of other available resources and quality of work
done by the student. Application should be addressed to the President of
the Seminary. Scholarships are credited to the student in equal installments
at the end of each quarter.

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

1. Loans up to but not to exceed $200.00 a year are provided by The Gen-
eral Assembly's Board of Christian Education when actually needed. Pay-
ments of this loan are in two installments: one in November and one in
February. Application is to be made through the Chairman of the Commit-
tee on Ministerial Candidates in his home presbytery.

2. 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.

34

VETERANS' BENEFITS

Columbia Theological Seminary is one of the institutions approved by the
government as a place of study for veterans receiving educational benefits
under Public Laws 16, 346, 550 (Korean War Veterans), and 634.

ACADEMIC AWARDS

THE FANNIE JORDAN BRYAN FELLOWSHIPS

Established by the will of the late Mrs. Fannie Jordan Bryan of Columbia,
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 to promote the welfare of their
Alma Mater and of the Church. Two fellowships are usually awarded an-
nually.

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. Seven Whitner fellows have been able to pursue advanced
studies in American and European universities.

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.

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
Berean Bible Class for over twenty years.

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." The Seminary joins
whole-heartedly in the hope which they have expressed, and welcomes the
establishment of a fund for this purpose.

This prize is to be awarded annually to the member of the Middle class of
the Seminary who makes the most outstanding record of work in a rural
church or field during the summer months between his second and third
years in the institution.

35

In the event that no student qualifies for this recognition in a given year,
the income is to be used in increasing the amount of the award to the win-
ners during the two succeeding years.

THE CLAUDE C. MASON, JR., SCHOLARSHIP

Established by the Fellowship Bible Class of the Morningside Presbyterian
Church in Atlanta in honor of Claude C. Mason, Jr. Mr. Mason, a faithful
churchman, who manifested a special interest in the training of young min-
isters. His friends directed that this scholarship should bear his name.

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.

THE GEORGE HENRY CORNELSON, D.D., SCHOLARSHIP FUND

In March 1959 the Bailey Foundation of Clinton, S. C. established an en-
dowment of $25,000.00 to provide a scholarship or scholarships at this
institution in memory of the late Rev. George Henry Cornelson, D.D. A
native of South Carolina, Dr. Cornelson graduated from Columbia Seminary
in 1895, having previously earned his B.A. at Davidson College, which
later conferred upon him his honorary degree. He was distinguished as a
presbyter, a pastor, and a preacher, and served at various times as pastor
of churches in Arkansas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and
Louisiana. His last pastorate was in the First Presbyterian Church of New
Orleans, La.

In providing this fund, with directions that it be invested and the income
used for scholarships, the Bailey Foundation expressed the hope "that this
will enable some worthy young man each year to reach his goal of be-
coming a Minister of the Gospel." It further stipulated that preference
in the award of scholarships "be given to successive students who will
lend their efforts to the need of industrial communities." The Seminary
will welcome applications for these scholarships on the part of men who
are preparing for this type of ministry.

JAMES ROBERTSON HOWERTON AWARD

Dr. J. R. Howerton was one of the ablest and most useful of the Columbia
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.

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.

36

OTHER SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS

Many ministerial candidates are unable to support themselves through both
college and seminary. Comparatively few of these men ever receive large
salaries in the ministry, and it is important that they should not begin
their ministry handicapped by a crushing load of debt. No finer investment
can therefore be made in any cause of the Church.

It is estimated that the income from $20,000 will provide a full scholarship
for a worthy student. It is the policy of the Seminary, however, to list any
endowment in this interest in the amount of $500 or more. The Seminary
lists here with deep gratitude the following scholarships:

STUDENT LOAN FUNDS

In addition to or in place of aid through scholarships, the Seminary has
been enabled by the generosity of its friends to make loans of varying
amounts to worthy students from time to time as these are needed. The
creation of such loan funds is another means by which a worthy memorial
to some loved one may also be made a permanent means to the upholding
of the Church, and the Seminary would record its abiding gratitude for what
its friends have done in this respect. The following loan funds have been
established through the years and are now available:

The Luther H. Maxwell Loan Fund $25,000.00

REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES

THE DEGREE OP BACHELOR OF DIVINITY

The standard degree of the Seminary is the Bachelor of Divinity (B.D.).
Any student who completes in a satisfactory manner all required courses of
the Seminary together with enough elective courses to bring the total of his
credits to 140, and who has presented to the faculty a diploma of graduation
from a recognized college or university, will receive a diploma from this
Seminary certifying that he has earned this degree.

The requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Divinity may not be com-
pleted in less than nine quarters. Satisfaction of the seminary's requirements
in Field Work is also required for graduation. In order to earn a degree a
student must maintain an overall average of C for his seminary course;
this is indicated by the accumulation of quality points which must number
no less than the number of hours required for graduation.

GRADING SYSTEM

At the close of each quarter, grades are sent to all students and their
presbyteries.

A, (excellent) is the highest grade given; it is reserved for those students
whose work is of a markedly superior quality.

B, (good) is the grade given for work which, while not notably superior,
is clearly above the average.

C, (satisfactory) is the grade given for satisfactory work of the average
student.

D, (inferior) is the grade given for work which, while not altogether
satisfactory, is good enough to entitle the student to credit for the course.

E, (conditioned) is the grade given those students whose work is not good
enough to entitle them to credit for the course, but to whom the instructor
is willing to allow a re-examination after additional study; on such re-exam-
ination no grade other than D or F can be given.

F, (failure) is the grade given for failure and indicates that no credit
can be had except by repeating the course.

Quality Points will be given as follows: A, 3 quality points per hour;
B, 2 quality points; C, 1 quality point, F, minus 1 quality point.

. . . Any student who fails to make a C average in any quarter except the
first quarter of his junior year shall 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 shall be permitted to remain as a student for another quarter
on probation.

THE HONORS PROGRAM

In order to provide qualified students in their senior year with an oppor-
tunity for independent and intensive study in an approved field of interest,
the Honors Program is open to students who have an over- all B+ average
(an average of 2.5 quality points per hour) and who have demonstrated
superior abilities in the field of their interest. For the present, Honors studies
are open in the areas of Theology, Church History, Biblical studies (limited
to students who will use the original languages), and Pastoral Counseling.
A student who participates in the Honors Program must maintain a B+
average both in required and Honors courses, and is expected to stand an
examination, either written or oral, at the close of the year over his entire
Honors work. The student will be excused from certain required work and
instead will receive 10 hours credit each quarter. The grade for Honors
work will be submitted by the professors advising him and will be considered
instead of the grades for required hours from which he has been excused.

DISTINCTIONS

Students who have secured an aggregate of 410 quality points in the 140
hours of work required for the B.D. degree graduate "Surama Cum Laude."
The distinction of "Magna Cum Laude" is awarded to those who have
earned 375 quality points; and those who have 330 quality points are grad-
uated "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 student's
field work is plainly unsatisfactory in the judgment of the Faculty.

THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF THEOLOGY

(TH.M.)

The degree of Master of Theology 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 with grades that average at least B, has presented an
acceptable thesis on some approved subject, and has passed a final oral
examination before the faculty or a committee of the faculty.

All of the thirty-five hours required shall be completed in residence, and
must be taken after the student has been admitted to the graduate depart-
ment.

The work for the degree must be completed within five years after the
time the student has been admitted to candidacy for the degree. Extensions
may be granted in extraordinary cases by vote of the faculty.

Admission to Study in the Graduate Department: Admission
of the student to graduate study shall be by the Dean of the Graduate
Department and the committee on admissions of the faculty. Qualifying
entrance examinations will be required. General proficiency written tests
must be taken under the supervision of the Graduate Dean. These tests
are given to all new students during the orientation period, and all stu-
dents who have not taken them in connection with their B.D. work at
Columbia will be expected to take them at that time. No student can
be admitted to candidacy for the degree until satisfactory grades have
been made on these tests. Departmental requirements must be checked as
satisfactory by the Department in which the student expects to specialize
before the student is admitted to candidacy.

Each applicant is expected to present evidence of achievement and com-
petence 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 col-
lege and seminary work. He must have the degree of B.D. from this sem-
inary or its academic equivalent. He must have passed the regular B.D.
courses in Hebrew and Greek; if his B.D. course requires 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.

When the student applies for admission, he should indicate the depart-
ment in which he wishes to specialize. The number of students that can
be accepted in each department will be limited. No professor shall be
asked to serve as chairman of the thesis committee for more than three
students planning to complete thesis in the current school year.

Specialization: With the approval of the professor concerned a student
may be permitted to specialize in any subdivision of one of the four major
branches of the theological curriculum the Biblical, the Historical, the
Systematic, or the Pastoral. At least fifteen hours must be taken in the
field of specialization. At least twenty-five hours must be taken either in
the field of specialization or in related courses. Ten hours must be taken
in courses approved for graduate study outside the department of spec-
ialization.

A student intending to specialize in the area of pastoral care and counsel-
ing in the branch of pastoral theology is required to have clinical training
with the Council for Clinical Pastoral Training, Inc., as specified by the
Professor of Pastoral Counseling.

43

Admission to Candidacy: The student must be admitted to candidacy
for the degree by the faculty at its regular meeting, the first Friday in
October, if he expects to receive his degree at the commencement the fol-
lowing May. Admission is by majority vote of the faculty.

The Committee on Graduate Work of the faculty will meet on Wednes-
day before the first Friday in October to receive applications for admission
to candidacy. These may be submitted in writing or by the student
appearing before the committee. The application should include the topic
of the thesis, as agreed upon by the student and the professor under whom
he expects to write it, and a brief sketch of the thesis project. The com-
mittee will evaluate the feasibility of the project and the student's acad-
emic fitness to carry it out. In his application, the student may make sug-
gestions as to the professors he would like to have on his thesis committee.

If the Committee on Graduate Work recommends approval of the stu-
dent and his thesis project, the faculty may vote formally to admit the
student to candidacy for the degree. This approves the thesis subject and
sets up a thesis committee for the student normally including the stu-
dent's sponsoring professor as chairman and two other faculty members.
The thesis committee is responsible for giving advice to the student con-
cerning his thesis and for approving the content of the thesis.

The Thesis: Immediately after admission to candidacy, the student
should confer with the Librarian about the form of the thesis and receive
the manual for the preparation of the thesis in proper form. The student,
or whatever typist he may engage, must follow the provisions of this
manual exactly or the thesis cannot be accepted as satisfactory. The stenog-
raphic form of the submitted manuscript shall be the responsibiity of the
student.

The student should recognize that the preparation of a satisfactory
thesis is one of the major requirements for obtaining the degree. The thesis
should be a scholarly work of a high order. It is far more than a term paper,
although less than a doctor's dissertation. It should be the result of a de-
tailed piece of research in some limited area of theological scholarship. It
must be presented in correct English. It must evidence a competent famil-
iarity with the literature in the field of study. It must show that the stu-
dent has an adequate understanding of the literature he has used, and that
he has exercised effective powers of expression, analysis, criticism, inter-
pretation and evaluation. Some quoted material may be used, with proper
credit given, but the major part of the thesis must be the student's own
thoughts presented in his own words. The length of the thesis will vary
considerably, depending upon many factors; about a hundred pages will
likely be required to give adequate coverage for most subjects.

In the preparation of the thesis, the student should work closely with
his committee, especially the chairman of the committee. Normally it is
wise for the thesis committee to hold a thesis seminar with the student
before the end of the fall quarter. At this seminar the student shall submit
an outline of his thesis and at least a tentative bibliography. Suggestions
may be given the student at this time by any member of the committee. If
the student and the chairman of the committee are thoroughly satisfied
that the thesis is progressing satisfactorily, the thesis seminar is not to be
required.

The thesis must be submitted to the thesis committee in what the stu-
dent expects to be its final form at least two months before commencement.
The thesis committee has the responsibility for accepting the content of
the thesis, and the Librarian for accepting its form.

44

When the thesis has been approved by both the thesis committee and the
Librarian, the chairman of the thesis committee shall arrange with the
Dean of the Graduate Department a time for the final oral examination,
which must be at least two weeks before commencement.

Two typewritten copies of the thesis are to be deposited in the Library.
The student is to pay a binding fee of $6.00, and the Librarian will have
the binding done.

The thesis should be available for examination by any member of the
faculty at the Librarian's desk for at least a week before the final examina-
tion. The student should provide at least a dozen copies of the chapter
headings and a brief digest of the thesis for use at the final examination.

The student should submit a copy of the courses he has taken for the
degree and the grades which he has earned up to the time of the examina-
tion.

The examination may concern itself with the thesis or any of the courses
taken for the degree. Faculty members who ask questions concerning the
thesis will be expected to have examined the thesis, which will be at the
Librarian's desk for at least a week preceding the examination.

In case the final examination is not approved, the faculty will determine
whether the student will be permitted to take the examination again.

Association with Emory University: As Columbia Seminary and
Emory University are both members of the University Center of Georgia,
students working for their Th.M. at Columbia may take courses offered
by the Candler School of Theology of Emory for full residence credit. Such
courses must be approved by the student's sponsoring professor and the
Dean of the Graduate Department as fitting into the student's program of
study. In no case, however, shall less than fifteen hours be taken at Co-
lumbia Seminary if the degree is to be awarded by the seminary. 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.

Costs: The costs for graduate work are the same as those for the B.D.
The tuition fee is $133.34 a quarter for students taking a full load. For
those taking a smaller load, it is $13.35 per quarter hour.

Correspondence: Correspondence regarding academic matters should be
addressed to Dean S. A. Cartledge, The Graduate Department. Correspond-
ence regarding rooms and apartments should be addressed to The Dean of
Students.

DEGREES IN BIBLICAL EDUCATION
(B.B.E. AND M.B.E.)

Courses in the field of Biblical education are offered to provide needed
training for lay missionaries, teachers of the Bible in public schools, di-
rectors of Christian education, and others who should not take the three-
year course leading to the B.D. Students taking either one of these courses
are allowed to pursue very flexible courses of study, choosing courses that
will best fit their needs from among those offered in the four major de-
partments of seminary instruction. The courses will be worked out each
quarter after consultation with the proper officials.

45

Students enrolling in these courses must be properly recommended for
admission by competent authorities of their denomination, must submit
transcripts showing their college credits and degrees, and must be accepted
by the admissions committee of the Seminary. Application blanks will be
sent upon request.

THE BACHELOR OF BIBLICAL
EDUCATION (B.B.E.)

The requirements of this degree are:

A bachelor's degree from an approved college or university.
A minimum of 40 hours credit and 40 quality points.

An acceptable research paper on a topic assigned by the department in
which the student does most of his work.

A student may apply toward this degree not more than 5 hours of credit
for work done in other approved institutions of learning.

THE MASTER OF BIBLICAL
EDUCATION (M.B.E.)

The requirements for this degree are:

A bachelor's degree from an approved college or university.

A reading knowledge of at least one foreign language.

A minimum of 75 hours credit and 150 quality points.

An acceptable thesis as prescribed by the Graduate Committee.

A final oral examination covering the thesis and any courses submitted
for the degree.

Students working for the M.B.E. degree may use courses already sub-
mitted for the B.B.E. if their quality points are high enough. They may
be allowed to transfer some work done in other institutions.

Students must be formally admitted to candidacy for this degree by
the October faculty meeting of the year in which they expect to graduate.

DIPLOMAS

Students from the five Synods supporting Columbia Seminary who may
be 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.

Application for admission to this "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
helpful in determining the suitability of the course for him.

Students who take the English course are permitted to omit Hebrew, and
when they do not have the necessary preparation in Greek, they are per-
mitted to omit certain courses in New Testament Exegesis. They must,
however, satisfy all other requirements of the Seminary including preaching
and Field Work requirements.

46

SPECIAL STUDENTS

A statement or transcript of courses completed will be granted to those
students whose presbyteries or other proper authority permit them to take
less than the above requirements and to any who may enroll in the Semi-
nary for special study.

EXAMINATIONS

At the close of each quarter written examinations are held on the subjects
studied during the quarter. No student is permitted to be absent from the
examination of his class except for satisfactory reasons. In certain in-
stances 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 the field of Church History, English Bible, Theology and Pas-
toral Theology. The examination in Bible is given at the beginning of the
fall quarter; it may be taken by entering students or by other students
who have not previously passed it. The examination in History is given in
the middle year at the end of the winter quarter. The examinations in
Pastoral Theology and Theology are given during the winter quarter of the
Senior year. This applies to Seniors not graduating at the conclusion of the
spring quarter.

The Final day for submitting all assigned work will be the last day of
classes for the quarter.

THE SCHEDULE

Columbia operates on the "Quarter System," which is popular in leading
universities and graduate schools throughout the country. Each quarter
consists of approximately ten weeks for classes and one week for examina-
tions. Columbia ordinarily gives work only during the fall, winter, and
spring 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.

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.

The unit of credit is the quarter hour and 140 hours are required for
graduation.

Each student normally takes from 15 to 18 hours' work per quarter. Ap-
proximately 15% of the hours for graduation may be in elective courses,
so that all students have an opportunity to specialize in some field of their
choice. Middlers and Seniors who have made an average of B may sup-
plement required work by taking added electives up to a total of 20 hours.
No student will be permitted to carry more than 20 hours' work in a quarter.

Most elective courses are offered in units of two or three hours. Electives
are so scheduled as to avoid conflicts when practicable, and to offer the
widest possible range of choice. Some electives are given only in alternate
years and are so indicated; the expression "odd years" means scholastic
years beginning in September of odd years, such as the term 1961-62. Other

47

electives are not placed in regular rotation, but are given only by arrange-
ments between students and professors.

Seminar courses are intended primarily for graduate members but may
be elected by Middlers and Seniors who have an average of not less than B
for the preceding quarter, provided that in the opinion of the professor an
undergraduate may take a given seminar with profit.

SUMMER LANGUAGE SCHOOL

July 17 through September 1, 1962

All entering students who have not had their elementary Greek in col-
lege are urged to give serious consideration to attending the summer lang-
uage school. In this way they will avoid the necessity of beginning to learn
two new languages at the same time. They will also find it possible to
take more elective work during their seminary course.

The work in both Hebrew and Greek will be of an intensive nature. The
classes will meet for two hours a day six days in the week. The study of one
language will occupy the full time of the student. The summer classes cover
in this intensive way the ground that is normally covered in a full year
with classes meeting three hours a week.

The courses are described in the catalogue as New Testament 126 and 127
and as Old Testament 101 and 102. Students who have not had Greek in
college may appropriately take either Greek or Hebrew.

Professor Ludwig Dewitz will offer during the summer school a course
in Elementary German at hours to be arranged.

The tuition fee for the summer language school will be $90. Rooms and
apartments will be available, but no meals will be served in the dining hall.
Nearby restaurants are convenient. The Seminary does not provide linens.

Students should send in their applications to The Registrar. They should
indicate their preference for either Greek or Hebrew, or if they would be
willing to take either language for the sake of making class sections of good
size.

Classes will be held each day at 8:15 and 11:00, except that on Monday
thev will be 9 : 1 and 1 1 : 00.

COURSES OF STUDY

GENERAL STATEMENT

The curriculum materials of Columbia Theological Seminary have been
arranged in four major divisions, as follows: (1) Biblical Theology, (2)
Historical Theology, (3) Doctrinal Theology, and (4) Pastoral Theology.
In addition to its simplicity, this arrangement reflects the unity of the curri-
culum and at the same time emphasizes the closer relationship sustained by
certain departments of study within a given group. The latter emphasis,
as indicated in another section, offers particular advantages for specialization
on the part of graduate students. A fifth division provides a means of record-
ing credit for the Honors Program.

The schedule provides a well-rounded and comprehensive course in prep-
aration for the Gospel ministry, with due emphasis on the various fields
of study both practical and theoretical. The arrangement now offered is
more in keeping with recent trends in education and with practices long
prevalent in other (graduate) professional schools than the former plan
of offering a large variety of electives for undergraduates.

Provision is made for the guidance of all students in the Seminary in a
survey of the entire Bible which will eventuate in a comprehensive examina-
tion scheduled at the beginning of the middle year. This arrangement of
the curriculum offerings in the Biblical Theology Group has emerged from
three basic convictions: (1) that predominantly the three years of semi-
nary training rest ultimately in the authority of the Scriptures; (2) that
concerted effort should be made to emphasize the centrality of the Bible in
our total training program; and (3) that every candidate for the Gospel
ministry should attain to a summary knowledge of the teachings of the
entire Bible before his ordination.

The Seminary reserves the right to change rules and regulations af-
fecting its student body or the granting of its degree at any time that this
may appear necessary to the Faculty and Board of Directors. Such changes
will go into effect whenever the proper authorities may determine, and
may apply not only to prospective students but also to any who may, at
such time, be matriculated in the Seminary. The Seminary further re-
serves the right to withdraw courses and to make necessary changes in
the schedule at anv time.

GROUP I

BIBLICAL DEPARTMENT

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 Seminary
endeavors to fit the students for the ministry to use intelligently and ef-
fectively the original languages in interpreting the Sacred Oracles.

B. NEW TESTAMENT LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, AND

EXEGESIS

The courses in this department are designed to give a working knowl-
edge of the New Testament and to fit the student for a life-long study of
this priceless book.

Every minister who hopes to lead the thoughts of his people must keep
abreast of the thought of the age. Students in this department are expected
to come to an intelligent understanding of the trends of New Testament
interpretation and criticism, conservative and radical, through the lec-
tures, daily assigned reading, and parallel reading.

All work in this department is on the basis of the Greek text. Ministe-
rial students are strongly urged to take a minimum of two years or three
quarters of Greek in college. Students who enter the Seminary without this
minimum are required to take courses 126 and 127, for which they receive
no seminary credit, before beginning their courses in exegesis.

C. BIBLICAL EXPOSITION AND THEOLOGY

In recognition of the important place which the English Bible should
occupy in the minister's study, in his thinking, and in his preaching, Co-
lumbia Seminary includes as a part of its required work two basic courses
in this field. A number of elective courses are also arranged.

The courses in the five divisions of the Biblical Group have been care-
fully planned to have a minimum of overlapping and at the same time to
make the offerings in the field as broad as possible. The apparent over-
lapping at certain points is largely overcome by the methods of approach
which the several professors employ to guide their students in the study
of the Bible. The Old and New Testament departments lay especial em-
phasis upon the exegetical study, while the English Bible department uses
the expository method. Our primary concern is not to offer the student a
wealth of homiletic material but rather to assist him in the development of

55

an effective method of Bible study and to secure for him a broad concept
of the teachings which inhere in the books studied.

As a means of increasing his familiarity with Scripture and of encourag-
ing proper devotional habits, each student will be required to read the
entire Bible at least once prior to the fall quarter of his middle year. This
reading of the Bible is a prerequisite for the taking of the English Bible
Comprehensive during the fall quarter of the middle year.

An English Bible Comprehensive Examination is given at the begin-
ning of the fall quarter each year. Entering students who elect to take and

GROUP II

HISTORICAL DEPARTMENT

Church History and Historical Theology

The Church is the people of God gathered around the Messiah. She is
the 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.

The Church appears in various forms under different conditions among
sundry peoples and in changing epochs. The history of the Church treats of
her missionary work, her doctrines 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,
and Christian missions in courses in that department.

Where possible, the courses are listed under the three periods of Church
History. Other courses appear under historical surveys of particular themes.

training in any of the member institutions which include mental hospitals,
general hospitals, and correctional institutions across the country. A lim-

D. EVANGELISM AND MISSIONS

This department is designed in all its courses to create a desire in the
heart of every student to win souls for Christ. It is also planned with a view
to instructing every student in every phase of evangelism so that he will be
able to train the lay leadership of his church in this primary work of the
Church. All courses are planned on an intensely practical basis, and stu-
dents are encouraged to participate in the various types of evangelism dur-
ing their entire seminary training.

The courses in missions are designed to inform, to train, and challenge
the student to become missionary minded in his or her ministry whether
serving in the church at home or abroad. The pastor or D. C. E. here in the
home church should be training the church membership to support through
every way the missionary enterprise. The pastor should become a recruiter
for the missionary cause. These courses are also designed to challenge the
student to consider the call to Home or World Missions. All candidates
and appointees will receive training in how to become an effective mis-
sionary.

ogy, Christian Education, Pastoral Counselling will be suggested to all candi-
dates and appointees for their course of study by the Missions Professor
or Dean.

F. PUBLIC SPEAKING

From a practical viewpoint there are few, if any, aspects of the min-
ister's equipment which are more important than the ability to speak in a
pleasing and effective manner. It is vain for him to have the knowledge of
libraries in his mind and the gift of a finished literary style in sermon prep-
aration if his congregation cannot hear or understand his message when he

80

stands in the pulpit. Increasing attention is properly being paid to this
fact in the theological world of our day.

The Seminary provides modern audio-equipped studios and practice booths
for use by students. Student sermons in Homiletics classes and the required
student sermons before the Faculty are recorded and students are required
to study these recordings. In addition, the department has a library of
recordings of sermons by some of the finest speakers in contemporary
American pulpits.

Basic courses in speech are conducted with one hour of lecture and one
hour of laboratory work in a small speech section each week. This enables
each student to receive practice in speaking before a group and to receive
the criticism of the professor and the students. In addition, private con-
ferences on speech problems and progress are scheduled throughout the
quarter and the professor is frequently available for informal assistance to
students practicing in the recording booths.

490. The Minister as Speaker.

The student is introduced to the principles and practices of good speech
through lectures, reading, and the actual preparation and delivery of
speeches. The classical divisions of rhetoric that have influenced heralds
of the Gospel since the days of the early Church Fathers are stressed: in-
vention, organization, style, delivery, memory. Factors of inter-personal
relationships, voice and diction, attention, perception, argumentation, emo-
tion, and audience adaptation are considered. The effective use of modern
mass media of communication is studied. Assignments call for speeches re-
lated to the work of the Church (missions, stewardship, church extension,
etc.) but avoid the specific area of sermon preparation. Texts: Guide to
Good Speech McBurney & Wrage. The Art of Persuasion Wayne Min-
nick.

Required, Junior year, fall quarter, two hours
Taylor

49 1 . The Oral Interpretation of Scripture.

The study of Biblical narrative, epistles, poetry, and sermons from the
standpoint of the student's ability to communicate his understanding of the
passage to his congregation through oral readings. Reading aloud is gen-
erally recognized as a way both to increase the student's understanding of
the passage and to develop his basic speaking skills. Effective delivery is
motivated and energized by response to the full content of the scripture
passage. In the lecture sections students prepare for unison and responsive
reading through choric speech and the analysis of live and recorded read-
ings; in the small speech sections students develop their own skills under
the supervision of the teacher and the criticism of the class. Attention is
given to details of voice production, clear enunciation, proper pronuncia-
tion.

Required, Middle year, winter quarter, one hour
