Government Street Presbyterian Church Mobile, Alabama LECTURERS ON THE THOMAS SMYTH FOUNDATION 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. In accordance with the conditions of the be- quest, some person of worthy character and distinguished for learning and ability is chosen each year by the Board and Faculty to deliver a course of lectures on the fundamental principles of the Christian faith or on the prac- tical tasks of the Church. The funds bequeathed by Dr. Smyth to found this lectureship amount to $10,000, and the interest on this amount each year is used in providing for the delivery of the lectures. For fifty years distinguished scholars and min- isters have treated a large variety of themes: doctrinal, critical, practical, archaelogical and historical. 12 J or tke Proclamation of the Qospel Columbia Zoday and Zomorrow Projected Campus Plan EXISTING BUILDINGS 1.

Modern audio-equipped studios and practice booths are located on the ground floor and provi- sion 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, Mrs. Virginia Orme Campbell. Campus Candmarks This building is divided into four sections, two of which at each end of the structure bear the names of the Semi- nary's former dormitories in Columbia. This building is SIMONS AND constructed of red brick, faced with gray limestone, and LAW HALL of Gothic design. :. ... 'W> .:-. ; L i i JOHN BULOW The library contains one of the most extensive collections CAMPBELL of theological literature in the South. This air-conditioned LIBRARY 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. Florida Hall provides suites of two rooms with private bath for forty-eight couples in addition to several apart- ments for visiting professors and space on the fourth floor for single students. Laundry facilities are provided on each floor. FLORIDA HALL I STUDENT CENTER The air-conditioned Student Center houses the refectory, several lounges, a game room, classrooms, offices, and a book store. This beautiful apartment building with accommodations for twelve families was one of the projects of the Colum- bia Friendship Circle. It is one of the attractive features of the campus. 3 $*fc FRIENDSHIP HALL % \ I r mm *w% Two student apartment 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. mm STUDENT APARTMENT BUILDINGS MISSION HAVEN The Women of the Church of Columbia's five supporting synods have provided funds to build and maintain eight apartments and a home for missionaries on furlough. Having missionary families on the campus provides for students an association with these representatives of our Church's outreach to the world. P5 K Hi P1PBB *&&*'& A Qood 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 Busi- ness 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 vari- ous 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. TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT Atlanta Presbytery, the largest Presbytery in the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, provides active training for stu- dents 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 employment of students. Senior and Middle classmen are encour- aged to supply vacant churches under the supervi- sion of the Director of Field Work. ECCLESIASTICAL The Presbyterian Center is the home of the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly, the General Coun- cil 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, the Assembly's Com- mittee on the Minister and His Work and the Pres- byterian Survey. 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. 20 CULTURAL Atlanta has long enjoyed the reputation of outstand- ing musical interests, and an opportunity to hear Metropolitan Opera, outstanding stage productions, famous musicians, national literary figures. Preach- ers, educators, scholars and political leaders are a part of the student's experience in the Atlanta area. RECREATIONAL Sports in the Atlanta area include professional base- ball, -the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the Uni- versity of Georgia Bulldogs. Major national sports spectaculars take place in the city each year. MEDICAL Students at the Seminary share in a voluntary group insurance plan and have available splendid hospital and medical facilities. CLIMATIC 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. Parks have long been a center of national attraction. Stone Mountain is now being developed into a multi- million dollar Confederate memorial. Georgia is rap- idly becoming a major recreational area in the United States. Lakes, state parks, hunting and fish- ing facilities and beautiful mountain retreats are within an afternoon's drive of Atlanta. SCENIC 21 Cife on the Campus HOUSING Three student apartment buildings are available for married couples with children. Two residence halls provide accommodations for couples without children, and adequate space is available for single students. 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 guesf lounges are provided in Florida Hall. WIVES' CLUB This club is patterned after the Women of the Church with the purpose of providing spiritual development and Christian fellowship. Membership in- cludes 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. 22 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES 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 stu- dents. Mrs. Jack W. Harmon and Mrs. Thomas W. Pittard serve Professor and Mrs. Gear and Professor and Mrs. S. Barton Babbage. The Babbages are new residents on the campus. Mrs. Wade Huie entertains 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." 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. Students visit with Dr. T. Watson Street, Executive Secretary, Board of World Missions. 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 outstand- ing speakers before the student body. Its program accounts largely for the fact that Columbia provides a surprisingly large number of world mission- aries. 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; 24 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 theo- logical 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. New student registers with Dean Anderson Students undergo clinical testing 8 I- Courses planned with Professor A word with the Treasurer THEOLOGICAL INTERNSHIPS I. Definition: The internship is an authorized period of off-campus study, practical experience, and growth, and is under both faculty direction and local supervision. This period of study is normally one year in length but may vary from nine to fifteen months. While serving an internship the student remains an enrollee of the seminary with the understanding that it is his intention to return for his senior year. II. The seminary though not now requiring the internship for all students, or for graduation, considers it to be an important part of the curricu- lum and encourages students to avail themselves of it if possible. 26 III. It is required that a student have had two full years of seminary work before applying for an internship. IV. An internship is not designed for problem students, and for this rea- son the faculty will not permit a student to take an intern year for disciplinary reasons. It is foreseeable that some students for various reasons may wish to drop out of school and work in a church between their first and second years. This may be permitted by the faculty, but the year will not be considered as an internship, and the student involved will not be con- sidered an enrollee of the seminary during that time. V. Purpose: (a) To help the student relate theological studies to the life and work of the church. (b) To help the student gain a more objective appraisal of himself and his need for further study. (c) To help the student clarify his call. (d) To help the student gain skills which may not be available from classroom work. (e) To help the student obtain a significant synthesis of his seminary study. (f) To afford the student teaching opportunities with all age levels. (g) To afford the student an opportunity for guided reading and study. The faculty expects the employing agency or church to provide the student with an opportunity to read and study for at least twenty- five hours each week fifteen hours being spent on books suggested by the faculty to the student prior to his beginning his internship. VI. Students desiring to take an internship should apply in writing to the Director of Field Work and not negotiate independently or directly with the field. Churches and pastors seeking interns should likewise apply to the Director of Field Work before interviewing or making arrangements with students. VII. Each internship must be approved by the seminary faculty through the Director of Field Work before the student accepts the assignment. No internship will be approved unless satisfactory supervision can be arranged locally and unless the supervisor is conscious of the educa- tional purpose of the intern year. VIII. The supervisor will report at least once each quarter to the Director of Field Work on the student's progress, and he will submit the final report of evaluation at the conclusion of the internship. The intern shall likewise submit in writing a report to the Director of Field Work once each quarter in regard to his reading and other areas of prog- ress. At the conclusion of the internship the student will submit to the Director of Field Work a written evaluation of his work. 27 FIELD WORK The Field Work Department is responsible for placing and supervising stu- dents while at the Seminary. Wide opportunity is available for numerous kinds of field work. Students, if approved by the Field Work Department, may work in a paid status in order to help meet personal expenses. Students are required to engage in field work during at least one summer in order to qualify for graduation. FIELD WORK POLICY OF COLUMBIA SEMINARY Columbia Theological Seminary earnestly desires to give to its students the best possible theological education. It is not satisfied to see a young man merely get a degree. Both the church and the student deserve more. In seek- ing to carry out its responsibility to the future ministers of the church the seminary schedules classes Tuesday through Saturday with some electives being offered on Monday and on certain nights each week. The seminary realizes, however, that its responsibility goes beyond the classroom, and it constantly seeks to maintain contact with the student in his preaching and pastoral assignments so as to correlate this field work with classroom in- struction. The faculty has observed in the past that regular students who attempt to preach every Sunday have neither time nor strength to give their best to the required class work. Consequently, both the academic work of the student and the work of the church being served suffer. The faculty is conscious of the financial struggle faced by many students with families. It usually ap- pears to these families that one solution is for the husband to preach every Sunday, but generally if the husband does this he is denying himself the training which he so urgently needs and which the church has every right to expect for his future ministry. To meet this financial situation the seminary is seeking to increase scholar- ship aid so that the student may give more time to his primary responsibility. To assure the student of this needed time for study the faculty has adopted the following field work policy. 1. Any student who lives off campus in a manse, or who is preaching in the same church every Sunday, will be required to spread his academic work over a period of more than nine quarters. 2. Ordinarily no student except one who is on the above schedule will be permitted to preach more than two Sundays per month in the same church, 28 except at the discretion of the Director of Field Work. (No student should have to prepare more than two new sermons each month or to do regular pastoral work and at the same time be faithful to the normal demands of the regular seminary curricu- lum.) Where there are cases of real need, the Direc- tor of Field Work will try to provide a fuller sched- ule of preaching by using the student in more than one church so that the burden of sermon prepara- tion will be lessened. THE COUNCIL FOR CLINICAL TRAINING, INC. Columbia Theological Seminary is a member of the Council for Clinical Training. Clinical pastoral training is a first hand learning experience under accredited supervision which provides theological students and pastors with 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. There are over fifty accredited training centers throughout the country. Columbia's membership in the Council means that students enrolled in this seminary will be given priority of choice in institutions elected and reduction of train- ing fees. GEORGIA ASSOCIATION FOR PASTORAL CARE, INC. Columbia has taken major initiative in the organization of the Georgia As- sociation 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 areas of training for elective courses are at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Emory University Hospital, Georgia Baptist Hospital, Milledgeville State Hospital, Fulton County Child Guidance Clinic, Adamsville Training School for Girls, the Georgian Clinic, Highview Nurs- ing Home and DeKalb General Hospital. A number of other institutions are currently negotiating with the Association for service-training programs. The Association is an affiliate of The Council for Clinical Training, Inc. 29 OPPORTUNITY FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY: 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. Workshops In Religious Broadcasting 9 -X vv $1 ^ISwmIM^'JI In Homiletics Migkligkts Professor Emeritus J. B.

The Alumni Asso- ciation meets on Tuesday of this week. 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. 36 Dr. J. Will Ormond, Alumni President, presides at 1963 Alumni Luncheon. The success of the Development Program now in progress is largely the result of the planning and work of the graduates of Columbia Seminary with the able assistance of graduates from other institutions now serving in the Columbia Seminary area. The first five-year phase of a long-range program to be concluded in 1964 now has in subscriptions and cash a total of more than $4,000,000 toward a goal of $5,000,000. The total program to be com- pleted by 1970 is an effort to raise $10,000,000 for facilities to accommo- date a student body of four hundred and to provide for post-graduate theo- logical study. 37 Ill = *-_ Class of '43 at reunion breakfast. Columbia friendship Circle Ladies arrive on the Campus for the 1963 Columbia Friendship Circle Pilgrimage Some seven to eight hundred friends of the Seminary make an annual pil- grimage to the campus each spring. In addition to providing the Columbia Friendship Hall, which is for student families with children, the Circle pro- vided the equipment for the new kitchen and will refurnish Simons-Law Dormitory as their 1963-64 project. This group includes an annual mem- bership of ten to twelve thousand. 38 Circle members leaving church after their annual service. 39 Continuing Education Program Clockwise beginning at left table: Roy Coker, John Dickson, Jack Hand, Sherwood Taylor, David Boozer, Thomas Are, Harold Prince, Charles Rightmyer, George Kirker, T. R. Taylor, Moody McNair, Charles Ansley. The Continuing Education Program was started in 1962 as one of many proj- ects developed by the Alumni Council. Twelve ministers are invited to the Campus each quarter for a two weeks program of reading. In the above photograph, Mr. Prince discusses the program with a new group. Dr. William C. Robinson discusses suggested reading for a group of visit- ing pastors in the field of Church History. 40 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 do 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. Mission 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, accompanied by a registration fee of $10.00. 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. 41 Sem. Basal Fields Semester Hrs. English Literature, Composition, and Speech 6 12-16 Philosophy 3 6-12 At least two of the following: Introduction to Philosophy History of Philosophy Ethics Logic Bible or Religion 2 4-6 History 3 6-12 Psychology 1 2-3 A Foreign Language 4 12-16 At least one of the following: Latin Greek Hebrew French German Natural Sciences 2 4-6 Physical or Biological Social Sciences _ 2 4-6 At least two of the following: Economics Sociology Government or Political Science Social Psychology Education 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. ) TEANSFEES 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. 42 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 and all fees, with the exception of apartment rentals, are payable by the first day of each quarter. Apartment rentals are charged at the end of every month. 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 quarter hour. The fee for the privilege of auditing courses will be at the rate of $7.50 per quarter hour. Student Activity and Contingency Fee $4.00 per quarter. Diploma Fee for all graduating students $7.50. Room Rent Single students Simons-Law Hall, $30.00 per quarter. Room Rent Single students Florida Hall, $40.00 per quarter. Room Rent Married couples Florida Hall, $80.00 per quarter. One-bedroom apartments in Florida Hall with kitchen facilities, $44.00 per month. One-bedroom apartments are $44.00 per month plus utilities except water. Two-bedroom apartments are $54.00 per month plus utilities except water. Three-bedroom apartments are $64.00 per month plus utilities except water. Board for students living on campus: All those in dormitory quarters are required to eat in the refectory at a cost of $125.00 per quarter plus $3.75 Georgia Sales Tax. (Subject to change in the event of necessity) Wives of students living in dormitory quarters are charged $57.75 plus $1.74 Georgia Sales Tax for the evening weekday meals and Saturday dinner. Meal tickets may be purchased for other meals. In view of the fact that normally very few students eat in the refectory on Sunday and in order to give those working in the kitchen and dining hall a day of rest, the refectory will be closed on Sunday. 43 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 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 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. HOSPITAL INSURANCE Beginning in the fall of 1964 each student will be required to have some form of hospitalization insurance acceptable to the faculty. It is anticipated that the students may purchase the insurance which is normally offered to the student body or they may elect to purchase insurance through other sources. 44 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. rhis 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. 45 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. 46 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: The J. Frank Alldis Scholarship $ 1,000.00 The Mary and Catherine Alldis Scholarship 500.00 The Frances Daniel Anderson Memorial Scholarship . . . 5,000.00 The Susie Butler Anderson Scholarship Georgia Society of the Dames of the Court of Honor 500.00 The Agnes Barden Scholarship 7,000.00 The David A.

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 The Jennie L. Hamilton Loan Fund 5,000.00 The Jasper N.

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 145, 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.

Ordinarily, the student will take this during the spring quarter of his junior year or during any one of the three quarters of his middle year. * Suggested electives **Normally students will choose elective courses to bring their schedule to no less than 15 quarter hours. 51 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+, 2.5 quality points per hour; B, 2 quality points per hour; C+, 1.5 quality points per hour; C, 1 quality point per hour; D+, 0.5 quality points per hour; D, quality points per hour; F, minus 1 quality point per hour. . . . 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 425 quality points in the 145 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 390 quality points; and those who have 345 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. 52 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. 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 theses 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. 53 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 the typist he may engage, must follow the provisions of this manual exactly or the thesis cannot be accepted as satisfactory. The stenographic form of the submitted manuscript shall be the responsibility 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. 54 When the thesis has been approved by both the thesis committee and tne 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 Treasurer. 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, one full year of clinical training is required in one of the affiliated 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. 55 Having completed this year satisfactorily, the student may then continue his program in residence. In addition to the thirty-five hours of academic work, it is expected that the student will be scheduled for six hours weekly for one year in the Columbia Seminary Counseling Center, preferably in the Center's work at Central Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. The coun- seling work is supervised in a weekly practicum scheduled at the conven- ience of all participants. 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. THE MASTER OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION (M. C. 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 90 quarter hours, 15 of which may be devoted to an acceptable research project. The following requirements shall be met: Church History 8 hours (including a course in Polity) Theology 8 hours (301 and any other 4 hours) Christian Education 15 hours (400, 401 and any other 9 hours) Bible 15 hours (4 hours in 151, 151 A, 152 or 152A; 4 hours in 130 or 104, and any other 7 hours). The survey and introduction courses may not be taken in the same Testament. Pastoral Counseling 6 hours (430 and 431) Worship 4 hours (Note: Mission candidates will be required to take at least 15 hours of Missions.) Students working toward the M. C. E. degree may be allowed to transfer 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 examination, 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 snowing their college credits and degrees, and must be accepted by the admissions committee of the Seminary. Application blanks will be sent upon request. 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 145 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- 56 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. ONE YEAR MISSIONS CANDIDATES In order to give one year Missions candidates a correlated program of study the following courses are suggested by the faculty: Christian Education 400 4 hours Theology 301 4 hours History 8 hours (including a course in Polity) Pastoral Care 430 3 hours Missions 473 (and 5 additional hours in Missions) 8 hours Bible 12 hours 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, and Theology. The examination in Bible is given at the end of the fall quarter of the middle year; it may be taken by entering students or by other students who have not pre- viously passed it. The examination in History is given in the middle year at the end of the winter quarter. The examination in Theology is 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 1:00 P.M. of 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. 57 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 145 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 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 14 through August 29, 1964 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 faculty requires that all students complete their Greek Grammar courses prior to the beginning of the middler year. 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. 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. Students should send in their applications to the Director of Admissions. 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 they will be 9:00 and 11:00. The tuition fee for the summer language school will be $90.00. 58 Courses of Study GENERAL STATEMENT The curriculum materials of Columbia Theological Seminary have been arranged in four major fields, 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 any time. Qroup 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 Seminary endeavors to fit the students for the ministry to use intelligently and ef- fectively the original languages in interpreting the Sacred Oracles. A. OLD TESTAMENT LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, AND EXEGESIS All candidates for the B.D. degree are required to take 18 hours in the Old Testament department of which 12 hours are in specified required 59 courses, 101, 102, and 104. In addition 6 hours of Old Testament exegesis must be elected. Students who desire to study Biblical Archaeology may register for certain courses in this field offered at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. Also, upon payment of necessary costs and completion of required work qualified students may participate in and receive up to nine hours elective credit for work done in the 1964 Negev Biblican Excavations' Seminar under the leadership of Professor Immanuel Ben Dor of Emory University and Professor Charles T. Fritsch. See courses 190-193 on page 71. 101. Elements of Hebrew. The class begins the study of the language with orthography, followed in due course by etymology and syntax.

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. The requirements for the B.D. degree in this department are as follows: Juniors will take N.T. Introduction, N. T. 131, four hours, winter quarter.

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 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. 151. Survey of New Testament.

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. Early Church 210. Early Church History. The New Testament basis of the Christian Church is found in the coming, the ministry, the death, the resurrection and the ascension of Christ, in the Great Commission, and the Pentecostal outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

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 94 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.
