HISTORY,
LOCATION
AND CAMPUS
gk\ .. , S>? h
On December 15, 1828, the Synod of South Carolina and Georgia, rep-
resenting Presbyterianism from North Carolina to the Mississippi, inaug-
urated this institution by electing the Rev. Thomas Goulding, D.D., as its
first professor. For two years Dr. Goulding conducted the work in the
Presbyterian manse at Lexington, Georgia.
In 1830 the Seminary was moved to Columbia, South Carolina, and the
faculty complemented by the election of Dr. George Howe and Dr. Aaron
W. Leland. Located in the center of South Carolina's capital, the Columbia
campus was most attractive. The old chapel there was particularly interesting
by reason of its history as well as its origin. Used originally as the carriage
house of a Southern gentleman, this little building was later dedicated to a
sacred purpose. It is remembered as the place where Woodrow Wilson was
"reborn for eternity" and where the Presbyterian, U.S. Book of Church
Order was written. There, also the first classes of Winthrop College, now
located at Rock Hill, South Carolina, were held.
Early in the Twentieth Century a strong conviction developed in the
Columbia territory that a re-location of the institution was necessary. At the
time of the location in Columbia that city was near the center of the Pres-
byterian population of the Southeast. The development of the Gulf States
and the shifting of the center of our constituency made it wise to move the
Seminary farther to the West in order to accomplish the original purpose
for which the institution was founded, namely: "To light up another sun
which shall throw farther West the light of the Gospel."
In the fall of 1924 the controlling Synods of Alabama, Florida, Georgia
and South Carolina, on recommendation of the Board of Directors, decided
to move the Seminary to Atlanta. Immediately following this decision the
Synod of Mississippi accepted the invitation of her sister synods to unite in
the ownership and control of the Seminary.
Atlanta Presbyterians provided a fifty-seven acre campus upon the hills
of Decatur. During the presidency of Dr. R. T. Gillespie two theological
buildings and four faculty homes were erected. A library, an additional
wing to the administration building, a student center, four apartment dormi-
tories, and thirteen faculty homes have been added in recent years.
Atlanta and the suburban community of Decatur have grown rapidly in
recent years. Decatur is now a city of over 22,000 and Greater Atlanta's
population exceeds a million.
ATLANTA TODAY
Atlanta today is the largest city in the Southeast, the industrial center
and transportation hub of the whole South. During a portion of each day
its air terminal is the busiest in the world. Being located in this thriving
metropolis is of great advantage to the students of Columbia Seminary. Not
only are cultural and recreational activities readily available, but there are
also a wide variety of sources of employment for student wives.
Atlanta has its own 80-piece symphony orchestra which presents more
than 50 concerts during its season. There is also a community orchestra and
chorus. Seasons of grand and light opera, popular concerts, and artist's-
series are held throughout the year. In the summer, musical productions
are given by the Theatre Under The Stars Company at Chastain Memorial
Amphitheatre. The Metropolitan Opera Company visits Atlanta annually for
a week of performances. There are community theatre groups with resident
directors and also three community ballet groups. Experimental drama
groups and small art galleries abound. The Atlanta Art Association galleries
are among the finest in the South. They house a large collection of their
own, offer lectures and concerts, have an art school and play host to many
traveling exhibitions.
Atlanta is also a center of activity and growth for the Presbyterian
Church. Atlanta Presbytery is the largest in the General Assembly. The
Downtown Atlanta
Presbyterian Center located here is the home of the Boards of Women's
Work, Church Extension, and Annuities and Relief, the General Council,
the Presbyterian Survey, the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly, the
Assembly's Committee on the Minister and His Work, and a branch of the
Presbyterian Book Store. The regional office of the National Council of
Churches and the Protestant Radio and Television Center are also in Atlanta.
Atlanta is an educational center. The Greater University Center, includ-
ing Emory University, Agnes Scott College, Georgia Tech, The University
of Georgia, Oglethorpe University, Georgia State College, the Atlanta Art
Association and Columbia Seminary is a significant cooperative venture in
the field of higher education. Students and professors share in the use of
the library facilities of each of these institutions with the help of a union
card catalogue. Students in one institution are permitted to take courses in
member institutions. Distinguished lecturers are provided by the University
Center each year. The school systems of the area provide elementary and
secondary education for over a quarter of a million students, and teaching
positions for many wives of seminary students.
Atlanta's climate adds to the advantages of the area. The second highest
major city in the United States, Atlanta's topography is responsible for a
favorable climate of moderate summers and mild winters. Numerous lakes,
mountains and natural scenic attractions add to the beauty of the section.
COLUMBIA'S CAMPUS
Virginia Orme Campbell Administration Building
This building contains administrative and faculty offices, classrooms,
speech and homiletics laboratory and dormitory facilities. The Chapel is
located in the north wing.
John Bulow Campbell Library
The Library, an integrated part of the teaching program, has a collection
of books and a program of services that extend the work of the classroom
in breadth and depth, provide adequately for student and faculty research,
and stimulate reading beyond course requirements. The Library is housed
in an air-conditioned Gothic building. Its book collection numbers more than
70,000 volumes and is increasing at a rate of approximately 2,000 volumes
per year. It includes a well-balanced selection of older critical works and
commentaries along with more modern critical and exegetical works. Impor-
tant Reformation sources are well represented; the collection includes the
Calvin and Melanchthon sections of Corpus Reformatorum. the Weimar
edition of Luther's works, and the Vienna and Berlin Corpuses. Complete
files of many important scholarly journals are available. The Susan V. Rus-
sell Tape Collection of some 500 sermons, lectures, and worship services is
an important aid in homiletics and speech courses.
Student Center
The air-conditioned Student Center, erected in 1961, houses the dining
hall, several lounges, a game room, classrooms, offices and a book store.
Dormitories
Housing for single students and married students without children is
provided in SIMONS-LAW and FLORIDA HALLS. Simons-Law Hall, one
of the original buildings on the Decatur campus, was completely remodeled
and refurnished in 1964. Florida Hall was erected in 1961. Rooms with con-
necting baths are available for single students. Suites with a living room, bed
room and bath are furnished for married students.
"The Village"
On the western side of the campus apartments for student families are
provided in FRIENDSHIP HALL and two other buildings. A separate build-
ing in the area contains laundry facilities.
Mission Haven
The Women of the Church of Columbia's five supporting synods have
provided funds to build and maintain eight apartments which serve as homes
for missionaries on furlough.
Recreation Facilities
An athletic field for intra-mural sports, three tennis courts and a volley
ball court are located on the campus. Limited indoor recreational facilities
are provided in the Student Center.

ADMINISTRATION
AND FACULTY
No educational institution can be stronger than its faculty.
In a theological seminary it is vitally important that those who teach
be thoroughly equipped for their task by scholarship. Equally necessary is
that insight into the life and work of the church which can only be gained
by practical experience. It is essential to the effective performance of their
task that they be men of sincere Christian faith and character, deeply dedi-
cated to the furtherance of the Gospel.
We believe that the teaching staff of Columbia Theological Seminary
possesses these qualifications in unusual measure. The degrees earned by its
members attest their academic preparation. A list of the ways in which they
have served the church would be equally impressive. Representing varied
backgrounds in this country and abroad, and trained in many of the great
universities of the world, they are alike in being committed to the Reformed
Faith. A distinguished visitor has aptly described the group as characterized
by unity, diversity, and harmony.
In addition to the twenty-two men who comprise its regular faculty, the
seminary makes use of the wealth of talent available in the churches and
colleges of greater Atlanta. The staff of the Georgia Association of Pastoral
Care contributes instruction and clinical training in its particular field. Visit-
ing professors come yearly both from this area and from distant points.
Further stimulus is provided by distinguished lecturers brought to the campus
through the cooperative program of the Greater University Center of Georgia.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
Columbia Seminary is a graduate professional school and students in their
life of preparation here are faced with disciplines involving research, explora-
tion, self-examination, intellectual struggle and growth. The process is fre-
quently painful and" students inevitably experience discouragement and
impatience in the same way that students do in any other field of graduate
study. They can constantly refresh their spirits in the many opportunities
that exist for private and public worship and this is recognized as being a
most important element of the student's preparation for his ministry. But it
still must be confessed that there are times when only faithful and even
dogged obedience to their calling to be good students will help them carry
on when a happier kind of inspiration fails them. It is the feeling of the
administration and faculty that adequate preparation for the ministry grows
out of honest examination of facts in all areas of human experience and
that God is most effectively served by those men and women who apply
themselves to their tasks as students with diligence and integrity. Intellectual
attainments will go hand in hand with spiritual growth in adequate prepara-
tion for the ministry and neither can be gained without real devotion to God.
17
ADMISSION
College Preparation
Admission to Columbia Seminary requires a four year degree from an
accredited university or college of arts and sciences or its equivalent. Students
without four years of pre-seminary preparation are not eligible to earn de-
grees at the Seminary and are not encouraged to apply for admission.
A major in one of the liberal arts fields is most helpful and certain
courses are essential in preparing for seminary studies. Philosophy is neces-
sary as a foundation for theological thought. A knowledge of European and
American history is essential for Church History. A basic understanding of
psychology provides the background needed for studies in Pastoral Care and
Counseling. The knowledge of English grammar and literature is needed for
all seminary studies because the minister must be able to communicate with
the people whom he serves. With these needs in mind the seminary recom-
mends the work below as a minimum in pre-seminary work. These sug-
gestions are in line with recommendations made by the American Association
of Theological Schools and the General Assembly of our Church. The sug-
gestions should be carefully studied by all candidates for the ministry who
have not completed their college training.
English 6 semesters Psychology 1 semester
Philosophy 3 semesters Foreign Language 4 semesters
Bible or Religion 2 semesters Natural Science 2 semesters
History 3 semesters Social Science 2 semesters
Columbia Seminary requires all entering B.D. students to have a sound
knowledge of basic Greek grammar. For those students who are not prepared
in Greek grammar the Seminary offers non-credit courses in its Summer
Language School.
Admission Procedure
Students desiring admission to Columbia Seminary should request an ap-
plication for admission from the Dean of Students. In addition to the com-
pleted application form students should furnish the Dean of Students the
additional items indicated on that form.
Students admitted to the Seminary will be provided a health form to be
filled out by their physician.
Pledge
The Board of Directors requires each student to subscribe to the following
declaration:
"Deeply impressed with a sense of the importance of improving in
knowledge, prudence and piety, in my preparation for the Gospel ministry,
I solemnly promise, in a reliance on divine grace, that I will faithfully and
diligently attend on all the instructions of this Seminary, and that I will
conscientiously and vigilantly observe all the rules and regulations speci-
fied in the plan for its instruction and government, so far as the same re-
lates to the students; and that I will obey all the lawful requisitions, and
readily yield to all the wholesome admonitions of the professors and direc-
tors of the Seminary while I shall continue a member of it."
18
Transfer
Students in good standing in other accredited seminaries may be ad-
mitted after transcripts have been evaluated and their applications approved
by the Admissions Committee. Ordinarily more than one year in residence
is required for graduation.
ORIENTATION PROGRAM
Columbia believes that everything possible should be done to help new
students make a quick and easy adjustment to theological study, and to help
them adopt sound methods of study as early as possible. With this purpose
in view, an orientation program has been arranged and is required of all
new students during the days preceding the regular opening of the Seminary
in the fall. This program is without extra expense to the students except
for an appropriate charge for board.
Columbia's program offers an opportunity for new students to get ac-
quainted with one another and with student body leaders and members of
the faculty before the "rush" of routine work starts. Instruction concerning
the use of a theological library as a means of saving time and effort later
and suggestions regarding the most effective methods of approach to theologi-
cal studies are given. A battery of psychological and achievement tests similar
to those used in other educational institutions and designed to help students
identify and understand particular strengths and deficiencies of preparation
and personality adjustments is included in the orientation program. Periods
of worship and inspiration set the tone of work in the Seminary upon a high
spiritual plane.
ADVANCED STANDING
The faculty of Columbia Seminary is concerned to give more latitude to
exceptional students who have shown unusual proficiency in advanced work
in religious or Biblical studies at the college level. Provision is made, there-
fore, for such students to pursue a more flexible schedule of study in lieu
of normal requirements. Students interested in this program of independent
study should consult with the Dean of Instruction, and the Dean, with the
Department concerned, will provide a method of testing so as to ascertain
the student's qualifications for independent study. Upon successfully satis-
fying the requirements for independent study, the student will then be per-
mitted to enter upon his special work under the guidance of the Professor
concerned and will be expected to pass an examination, or to present a
suitable research paper at the end of the quarter. This latitude applies to
exceptional students in all courses of instruction.
19
THE HONORS PROGRAM
In order to provide qualified students in their third year with an op-
portunity for independent and intensive study in one field, the Honors Pro-
gram is open to students who have an over-all B+ average and who have
demonstrated superior abilities in the field of their interest. Honors studies
are open in any of the departments of the curriculum with the consent of
the supervising professor or professors and the approval of the department.
A student who participates in the Honors Program must maintain a B+
average both in the required and Honors courses. At the close of the year
he is expected to stand an examination upon his entire Honors work. The
student will be excused from certain required work. He will receive 10 hours
credit each quarter for his Honors studies.
THE SCHEDULE
Columbia operates on the Quarter System. Each quarter consists of
approximately ten weeks for classes and one week for examinations. Co-
lumbia ordinarily gives work only during the fall, winter, and spring quar-
ters. The curriculum is designed for those beginning their' work in the fall
quarter. Students entering at another quarter will experience difficulties in
scheduling their courses and may find that they cannot complete their re-
quired work in the usual nine quarters.
The simple unit of credit, the quarter hour, makes it easy for credits
from Columbia to be transferred to other graduate schools. Columbia's work
is accepted at full credit by leading graduate schools throughout the world
as a basis for advanced theological study.
EXAMINATIONS AND GRADING
At the close of each quarter written examinations are held on the sub-
jects studied during the quarter. In certain instances the professors may
require a term paper or papers in lieu of an examination.
Comprehensive examinations are also required of all students, including
transfers, in English Bible and the Historical-Doctrinal field.
At the close of each quarter grades are given according to the following
system. A report of his grades is sent to each student and his presbytery.
A, excellent, 3 quality points per hour.
B+, very good, 2.5 quality points per hour.
B, good, 2 quality points per hour.
C+, above average, 1.5 quality points per hour.
C, satisfactory, 1 quality point per hour.
D+, unsatisfactory, 0.5 quality points per hour.
D, inferior, quality points per hour.
E, conditioned, quality points per hour.
F, failure, minus 1 quality point per hour.

Any student who fails to make a C average in any quarter except the
first quarter of his first year will be placed on probation for the next quarter,
and if he fails to bring his average up during that quarter, he will be dropped
as a student. In the event that the student's overall average is C or better, he
will be permitted to remain as a student for anoher quarter on probation.
A student who fails to complete satisfactorily all of his academic work
will not be eligible for scholarship aid during the following quarter unless
special providential circumstances lead the faculty to make an exception in
his case.
DISTINCTIONS
Students who have secured an aggregate of 412 quality points in the
140 hours of work required for the B.D. degree graduate "Summa Cum
Laude." The distinction of "Magna Cum Laude" is awarded to those who
have earned 391 quality points; and those who have 362 quality points are
graduated "Cum Laude." In each of these cases the appropriate distinction
is recorded upon the student's diploma.
These academic honors are subject to revision or forfeiture if the stu-
dent's field education is plainly unsatisfactory in the judgment of the faculty.
SUMMER READING PROGRAM
The faculty not only desires that students become competent in the
practical daily working of the Church, but also seeks to aid students in
learning to read and study in the midst of a busy parish program. In addi-
tion the faculty is concerned that Columbia students broaden their perspec-
tives and fields of learning. Therefore each student is required to read an
assigned number of books during the summer between his first and second
years and between his second and third years. The list of books is drawn up
by the faculty and a report on the reading is required at the opening of the
new school year.
SUMMER LANGUAGE SCHOOL
July 19 through September 3, 1966
A reading knowledge of New Testament Greek is required for admission
to the B.D. program. Students who have not satisfactorily completed two
years of college Greek or in some other way prepared themselves so as to
pass the Seminary's qualifying examination should plan to attend the Sum-
mer Language School the summer before their first year at Columbia.
The work in both Hebrew and Greek will be of an intensive nature. The
classes will meet for two hours a day six days a week. The study of one
21
language will occupy the full time of the student. The summer classes cover
in this intensive way the material that is normally covered in a full year.
Application for the Summer Language School should be made to the
Dean of Students and a preference for either Greek or Hebrew should be
indicated. The tuition for the School is $90.
FIELD EDUCATION
The Field Education Program consists of two basic requirements. First,
during each school year each student will be involved in supervised small
group experiences designed to assist him in understanding the local church,
the local community and the Church-at-large. Second, each student is re-
quired to participate in two summers of approved field education, preferably
one summer in a local pastorate as student assistant or supply pastor, and the
other summer in some specialized ministry, such as hospital chaplaincy, inner-
city work, camps and conferences, special service in World Missions or
Church Extension, or National Parks Service. Satisfactory fulfillment of this
Field Education Program is required for graduation.
Within the Seminary's geographical area there exists a wide variety of
opportunities for second and third year students to work within church situ-
ations during the schoftl year where they may earn income to help meet
personal expenses. The Field Education Department is responsible for ap-
proving and supervising all such student employment. Experience in supply
preaching, teaching in the local church, and various kinds of student as-
sistantships play an important part in giving field preparation for his ministry
after graduation.
ADDITIONAL SUPERVISED EDUCATION
Intern Years
Qualified students may take a theological internship of from nine to
fifteen months between their second and third years at the Seminary. This
period of off-campus study and practical experience is under both faculty
direction and local supervision. Though not a required part of the curricu-
lum, the faculty encourages students to take advantage of internships as a
means to further relate theological studies to the life and work of the church,
to gain a more objective appraisal of themselves and their need for further
study, and to gain skills which may not be attained through classroom work.
A specified program of reading is planned with a member of the faculty
before the internship begins, and periodic reports by both the intern and
his supervisor are required.
Clinical Pastoral 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
22
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 for Clinical Training, Inc., means that its stu-
dents will be given priority of choice in institutions elected and reduction
of training fees.
Columbia has taken major initiative in the organization of the Georgia
Association for Pastoral Care, Inc. The incorporating institutions in addition
to Columbia are the Candler School of Theology of Emory University,
Emory University Medical School, the Interdenominational Theological
Center, and the Greater Atlanta Council of Churches. The purposes of this
Association are for pastoral service and training with the conviction that
the best possible service affords the most adequate training for theological
students. The major institutions for training are Henry W .Grady Memorial
Hospital, Emory University Hospital, Georgia Baptist Hospital, Youth De-
velopment Center, Milledgeville State Hospital, Georgian Clinic, and Pastoral
Counseling Center, Central Presbyterian Church, Atlanta. Second year stu-
dents are required to have training under supervision in one of these institu-
tions with staff members of the Association serving the Seminary in the
capacity of guest instructors. Additional elective work is also available in
these centers. The Association is an affiliate of the Council for Clinical
Training, Inc., and the Southern Baptist Association for Clinical Pastoral
Education, Inc.
Radio and Television
Facilities and staff for instruction of students from Columbia Theological
Seminary, the Candler School of Theology and the Interdenominational
Theological Center are provided in the Department of Education of the
Protestant Radio and Television Center, a fully-equipped interdenomina-
tional center producing materials for the mass media. The work of the sev-
eral schools at the Center is coordinated by the Reverend David Abernathy,
S.T.M., who also offers specialized mass media courses on an interseminary
basis. (See courses 467-468 in this catalog.) Columbia Seminary's pioneer-
ing use of the Center's video tape equipment for instruction in homiletics
has received nation-wide attention.
Palestinian Archaeology and History
Columbia Seminary is associated with the Institute for Mediterranean
Studies of Berkeley, California which sponsors an annual Near Eastern
Archaeological Seminar. Students who participate in this Seminar will spend
eight weeks in the Near East taking courses in Palestinian Archaeology and
History. The program includes three weeks of actual digging at an ancient
site in Palestine. Students will be given academic credit provided they suc-
cessfully complete the course program and submit the necessary transcript.
For further details contact Professor James H. Gailey, Jr.

married students with children. The rent for these apartments is from $44
to $64 per month depending on the size of the apartment. Applications for
apartments should be made as early as possible.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Scholarships
A number of scholarships are available, the amount granted to be deter-
mined by consideration of other available resources and the quality of work
done by the student. Application should be addressed to the President of
the Seminary. Scholarships are credited to the student's account in equal
quarterly installments.
Recipients are ordinarily expected to work for the Seminary, usually in
the library, dining hall or on the grounds.
Scholarships are not available for ordained ministers doing graduate
work.
Loans To Candidates
Loans up to but not to exceed $200.00 a year are provided by the
General Assembly's Board of Christian Education when actually needed.
Payments of this loan are in two installments: one in November and one in
February. Application is to be made through the Chairman of the Com-
mittee on Ministerial Candidates in the student's home presbytery.
Once a need is established, the Seminary may also assist with loans
from its own funds. It should be noted by the student that both need and
satisfactory academic progress are required for a loan and that, in every
case, satisfactory plans have to be made for repayment of loans.
Supply Preaching
Second and third year students may expect to receive some remuneration
for supply preaching, supervised by the Field Education Office.

SOCIETY FOR THEOLOGICAL SCHOLARSHIP
A student society "for the purpose of encouraging in every student the
highest possible scholarship in all departments of instruction." Membership
is open to all students and faculty on a voluntary basis. Lectures, informal
discussions with visiting lecturers, symposia by members of the faculty and
other meetings are sponsored in the interest of Christian scholarship.
SOCIETY OF MISSIONARY INQUIRY
The Society was founded in 1832 and has been an instrument through
the years to promote an active interest in world missions among the student
body and throughout the Church. It annually conducts one of the largest
missions conferences for youth in the nation. The Society regularly brings
outstanding speakers before the student body. The program of the Society
has helped Columbia Seminary provide a large number of world missionaries.
THE CHOIR
The Seminary Choir has gained recognition throughout the Southeast by
its annual visits to churches in the supporting synods, its services for the
Columbia Friendship Circle Pilgrimage, and its recordings. It assists from
time to time with the worship services of the campus community. Member-
ship in it provides valuable training for our students. Dr. Hubert Vance
Taylor, the director, was for many years the director of music for the
Protestant Radio and Television Center where he prepared broadcasts for
the Protestant Hour, the National Radio Pulpit, and the Upper Room Radio
Parish. For more than twenty years he was Minister of Music, Central
Presbyterian Church, Atlanta.
26
WIVES' CLUB
This club is patterned after the Women of the Church with the purpose
of providing spiritual development and Christian fellowship. Membership
includes the wives of Seminary students, faculty and staff. Single girls and
wives of missionaries are invited as honorary members. General meetings
and circle Bible studies are held monthly. In addition, each quarter a faculty
member offers an evening course for wives.
STUDENT PUBLICATIONS
A Board of Student Publications, selected from the student body, provides
an opportunity for written discussion of important issues. The publications
staff publishes the semi-weekly VIEWPOINT on a variety of subjects and
the COLUMBIA FORUM on key theological questions. Both students and
faculty are encouraged to contribute to these publications.
STUDENT RECREATION
Columbia Seminary encourages its students to take advantage of the
recreational facilities provided on campus and in the surrounding communi-
ty. Three all-weather tennis courts, a volley ball court and an athletic field
are a part of the campus. Recreation lounges are provided in the Student
Center and local golf courses are easily accessible. Both intra-mural and
individual competition is conducted in various recreational activities.
CHURCH VOCATIONS WEEK-END
During each academic year a Church Vocations Week-end is conducted
offering college men an opportunity to think together about the nature of
the Christian ministry and to see first hand the place of the Seminary in
training men for service in the Church. Both students who are undecided
about their life's work and those who definitely intend to enter some form of
Church vocation are invited to attend.
ANNUAL MISSIONS CONFERENCE
Each year the Society of Missionary Inquiry sponsors a missions con-
ference at the Rock Eagle Conference Grounds near Eatonton, Georgia.
The conference is one of the largest in the nation for high school and
college students. From this conference, now in its 13th year, have come
candidates for mission service who after further training have gone to all
but one of our mission fields.

Continuing Education discussion at lunch with Professor McCarter.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Each quarter groups of twelve ministers each are invited to participate in
periods of independent study in the Seminary library. The individual study
of these men is supplemented by seminars led by the faculty and designed
to bring the men up to date on developments and books in the various fields
of theological study. In addition to this program of individual study, special
periods of study on a particular subject with seminars and lectures on that
subject supplementing individual study are also held from time to time.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The program of the Alumni Association is directed by the Alumni
Council which is composed of executive officers elected by the Association
and an appointed representative from each Synod in the General Assembly.
The annual meeting of the Association is one of the principal events of
Ministers' Week each fall. In addition, local meetings are planned for synods
and presbyteries during the year.
Since 1940 the Association has supported the Alumni Fellowship Fund
enabling 52 graduates to be named Alumni Fellows and assisting financially
with their post-graduate study. A recent project of the Association was the
endowment of the James McDowell Richards Chair of Biblical Exposition.
OTHER MEETINGS
In addition to its own regularly planned conferences the Seminary serves
as host each year to many other groups. Committees of the General As-
sembly often meet on the campus. The Women of the Church hold Synodical
Conferences and Area Training meetings here annually. During the summer
the Christianity and Health Workshop uses the facilities of the Seminary.
During the academic year the Seminary provides housing for high school
students participating in the program of the Synod of Georgia Vocational
Guidance Center.
28
SUPPORT
OF THE
SEMINARY
Costs for a year's education exceed student fees by almost $2,000 for
each student at Columbia Seminary. This $2,000 is part of the Church's
annual investment in those men and women who have dedicated their lives
to places of full-time service in the Church. Through the budgeted benevo-
lences of the five supporting synods, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi
and South Carolina, from the investment of endowed funds, and by special
gifts of friends Columbia Seminary meets its expenses.
Gifts to Columbia provide many things. Scholarships not only help stu-
dents pay their bills, but also remind them of the interest and concern of
men and women in the Church and thus encourage them in their studies.
Fellowships and Academic Awards not only provide special educational op-
portunities but also stimulate excellence of preparation in basic studies. Gifts
to endowment not only honor and perpetuate the interest of Christian friends,
but also underwrite day-to-day expenses and provide for increased service
through growth and development of facilities and program.
The task of theological edcuation is a responsibility Columbia shares
with the whole Church. On the following pages we acknowledge the par-
ticular ways Christian men and women have aided us in fulfilling our role in
theological education. Many friends, through small and large gifts, have
faithfully supported Columbia and here we mention gifts that have exceeded
$500. The list also gives a picture of opportunities for other donors to share
in the important work of preparing men and women for places of Christian
service, both with their gifts now and through their wills.
29
COLUMBIA FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE
Columbia Friendship Circle is an organization of more than 12,000
friends of the Seminary who carry out an annual program with a three-fold
purpose: 1. They seek to understand the work of the Seminary and pray
for its mission; 2. They encourage able young men in their homes and
communities to consider the Gospel Ministry as they plan their life's work;
3. They sustain their interest in the work of the Seminary by an annual
membership gift.
Each year several hundred members make a pilgrimage to the Seminary
during which a project for the coming year is adopted. In recent years
Columbia Friendship Circle has had as its projects the providing of Friend-
ship Hall, an apartment dormitory; the equipment for the Seminary kitchen;
and the remodeling and refurnishing of Simons-Law Dormitory.
THOMAS SMYTH FOUNDATION LECTURERS
Through a generous bequest of Rev. Thomas Smyth, D.D., who was for
years the pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Charleston, South
Carolina, a lectureship bearing the name of its founder was established at
Columbia Seminary in 1911. 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.
ACADEMIC AWARDS
The Fannie Jordan Bryan Fellowships
Established by the will of trie late Mrs. Fannie Jordan Bryan of Colum-
bia, South Carolina, to promote interest in scholarship among students and
to provide better trained leaders for the Church. Stipends make possible a
year of graduate studies in seminaries and universities in America and
abroad.
The Alumni Fellowship Fund
Established by the Senior Class of 1941 and supported by the Alumni
Association to promote the welfare of their Alma Mater and of the Church.
Two fellowships are usually awarded annually.
30
The Anna Church Whitner Memorial Fellowship

South Carolina, in memory of his mother, an earnest, consecrated and de-
voted Christian. Eight Whitner fellows have been able to pursue advanced
studies in American and European universities.
Indiantown Church Award
Established by the Indiantown Presbyterian Church in Hemingway,
South Carolina, to encourage interest in and promote the development of
Country Church work. In explaining the motive for their action, the donors
have written: "This award is made available with the hope and prayer that
more of our worthy young men may catch a vision of the possibilities of
the Country Church, and dedicate the ministry of their lives to rural areas."
This prize is awarded annually to the third year student who makes the
most outstanding record of work in a rural church or field during the sum-
mer months between his second and third years in the institution.
James Robertson Howerton Award
Dr. J. R. Howerton was one of the ablest and most useful of the Colum-
bia alumni. He served as pastor of some of our strongest churches, taught at
Stillman and later at Washington and Lee, established Montreat, and pub-
lished two very thoughtful books. Columbia is happy to have his name and
influence commemorated in a cash award to the student writing the best
paper in Presbyterian History and Polity.
Wilds Book Prize
Established by Louis T. Wilds, Esq., ruling Elder of the First Presby-
terian Church, Columbia, South Carolina, to provide an annual book prize
for a student elected by the faculty for distinction in his academic work.
Paul T. Fuhrmann Book Prize
The Paul T. Fuhrmann Book Prize in Church History was established
in 1962 by an alumnus of the Seminary for the purpose of stimulating
Christian scholarship. The award is made annually to a student who has
shown outstanding achievement in Church History.
SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS
The Thomas M. Barbee Scholarship Fund
This endowment of $68,000 was established in 1952 by the late Reverend
Thomas M. Barbee, D.D., of Mexico, Missouri, to provide several generous
scholarships for students who agree to serve in rural fields for as much as
five years after graduation from Columbia Seminary.
Second Presbyterian Church Education Scholarships
In 1821 The Education Society of The Second Presbyterian Church of
Charleston, S. C. was organized "to assist in educatiing some pious promis-
ing young men of talent preparatory to a course of theological studies or in
31
maintaining them at the Theological Seminary." More than $70,000.00 has
been sent to Columbia Seminary to help worthy theological students com-
plete their education at this historic School of The Prophets. Scholarships
are provided each year by the faithful women of The Second Presbyterian
Church of Charleston, S. C.
Tke George Henry Cornelson, D.D., Scholarship Fund
In March 1959 the Bailey Foundation of Clinton, S. C, established an
endowment of $25,000.00 to provide scholarships in memory of the late
Rev. George Henry Cornelson, D.D. A native of South Carolina, Dr. Cor-
nelson graduated from Columbia Seminary in 1895, having previously earn-
ed his B.A. at Davidson College, which later conferred upon him his honor-
ary degree. He was distinguished as a presbyter, a pastor, and a preacher,
and served at various times as pastor of churches in Arkansas, South Caro-
lina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Louisiana. His last pastorate was in
the First Presbyterian Church of New Orleans, La. Preference in the award
of scholarships will be given to students who will lend their efforts to the
need of industrial communities.
The William V. Gardner Scholarship

DEGREES
AND
COURSES
Many months of preparation are behind the presentation of the new
curriculum in this catalog. The total planning extended over several years
and intensive committee work continued for many months. Surveys and
interviews were conducted among alumni, students and faculty. Studies
made by the American Association of Theological Schools, other sem-
inaries and foundations were considered, as were the curriculum studies of
several colleges. The particular resources of church and community in the
urban area around the Seminary were considered and evaluated for their
usefulness in the preparation of men and women for leadership for the
Church.
Since the B.D. program is basic at Columbia, the new curriculum is
first introduced as it affects this program. Ultimately all degree programs
will be drawn into the patterns of the new curriculum. The deadlines neces-
sary for the publication of this catalog prevented the inclusion here of
detailed descriptions for the second and third years of the B.D. program
or for the Christian Education, World Missions or Master of Theology
programs, but these will appear in the next catalog.
On the following pages we list the requirements for the various degrees
offered at Columbia. Then in two sections of different colors course de-
scriptions for both the new and old curriculums are given together with
a complete outline of the new curriculum. Students entering in 1966 will
be concerned only with the new curriculum, while B.D. students already
enrolled will complete their studies under the old curriculum. Masters stu-
dents will need to consult both curriculums until descriptions of electives
in the new curriculum are completed.

36
ENGLISH COURSE
Students from the five Synods supporting Columbia Seminary who are
received by their presbyteries under the extraordinary case clause of the
Book of Church Order may be granted a Diploma from the Seminary upon
the completion of 140 hours of work with a minimum of a C average after a
period of nine quarters in residence at the Seminary. Students who take the
English Course are permitted to omit Hebrew, and when they do not have
the necessary preparation in Greek, they are permitted to omit certain
courses in New Testament exegesis. They must satisfy all other requirements
of the Seminary.
Application for admission to the English Course must be accompanied
by a written request from the student's presbytery, and the Seminary re-
serves the right to apply any tests of the student's ability which may be help-
ful in determining the suitability of the course for him.
WORLD MISSIONS CANDIDATES
So that their one-year program of study may be planned to give them the
best preparation for their missionary service, all world missions candidates
are required to confer with the Professor of Missions and the Dean of In-
stuction concerning the particular courses they will take.
UNCLASSIFIED STUDENTS
In some instances students not enrolled in a regular program of study
will be allowed to take courses at the Seminary as special students. A tran-
script of courses completed will be granted to such students.
Professor McCarter and Christian Education class.
MASTER OF THEOLOGY
The degree of Master of Theology (Th.M.) is granted to a student who
has spent a year or more in graduate study, has completed satisfactorily at
least thirty-five hours of work in residence with grades that average at least
B, has presented an acceptable thesis, and has passed a final oral examina-
tion. The work for the degree must be completed within five years after the
student has been admitted to candidacy.
Specialization
A student may specialize in any subdivision of the three major fields of
the curriculum. Fifteen hours must be taken in the field of specialization, and
an additional ten hours must be taken either in that field or in related courses.
Ten hours must be taken in courses approved for graduate study outside the
department of specialization. A student intending to specialize in the area
of pastoral care and counseling is required to have clinical training with the
Council for Clinical Pastoral Training, Inc., as specified by the Professor of
Pastoral Counseling.
Admission To Study In The Graduate Department
Admission to study in the graduate department is granted by the Dean of
the Graduate Department and the Admissions Committee of the faculty,
proper application having been made through the Dean. The B.D. degree or
its academic equivalent and courses in Hebrew and Greek are prerequisite. If
a student's B.D. course required less than the two biblical languages, he may
substitute an approved language for one of them. Those students who plan
to do their major work in the Old or New Testament departments must be
able to handle the appropriate language with ease. In addition each applicant
is expected to present evidence of achievement and competence as a student.
Rarely can a student be expected to do satisfactory graduate work if he has
not maintained at least a B average in his college and seminary work. Tests
to determine aptitude and psychological fitness are required and must be
taken during the orientation period.
Admission to Candidacy
Admission to candidacy is by vote of the faculty, proper application hav-
ing been made in writing to the Committee on Graduate Work. The faculty
meeting in October is the deadline for admission to candidacy if the student
expects to receive his degree the following May.
Association With Emory University
Students working for their Th.M. at Columbia may, with the approval of
their sponsoring professor and the Dean of the Graduate Department, take
courses offered by the Candler School of Theology of Emory for full resi-
dence credit. This working agreement appreciably widens the offerings of
both schools. No extra fees are charged; the student pays the regular fees to
the school in which he is enrolled.
Costs
The costs for graduate work are the same as those for the B.D. degree.
Correspondence
Requests for additional information about graduate studies should be
addressed to the Dean of the Graduate Department.
38
TH.M IN CLINICAL PASTORAL CARE
In addition to the Th.M. in Pastoral Theology a program in Clinical
Pastoral Care is designed primarily to enable the parish minister to accom-
plish his work of shepherding more effectively. At the same time, this pro-
gram should be regarded as prerequisite to either military or institutional
chaplaincies.
The requirements for admission and graduation pertain to this degree as
for the same degree in any other field with the exception of the thesis and
the inclusion of clinical training, research requirement and pastoral coun-
seling.
For this degree an intern year is required in one of the institutions of the
Georgia Association for Pastoral Care, Inc., or in an institution accredited
by the Council for Clinical Training, Inc. The Association is an affiliate of
the Council, and the Seminary is an active member of the Council.
Having completed this year satisfactorily, the student will then continue
his program in residence to complete satisfactorily the required thirty-five
hours of academic work as specified for other major fields. In addition the
student will participate in the graduate practicum in pastoral counseling and
will work under qualified supervision in the Counseling Center, Central
Presbyterian Church, a part of the Pastoral Counseling Service, Georgia As-
sociation for Pastoral Care, Inc.
In lieu of a thesis, a student will be assigned a research project by the
Department of Pastoral Care which must be completed to the satisfaction
of the Department.
Professor Cousar.

(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 examina-
tion, and by giving evidence of adequate ability to do field education.
Students enrolling in this course must be properly recommended for
admission by competent authorities in their denomination, must submit
transcripts showing their college credits and degrees, and must be accepted
by the Admissions Committee of the faculty. Application blanks will be
sent upon request.
40
THE NEW CURRICULUM
In 1965 the Faculty approved a plan for a new curriculum which begins
with the entering class in the fall of 1966. The general three year program
of required work is outlined below, with the first year given in more detail.
In the new curriculum 140 hours will be required for graduation instead of
145 in the old curriculum. 112 of these hours are in designated areas with
28 hours normally allowed for electives according to the student's needs and
interests. A schedule of electives is now in process of being worked out so as
to provide balance and enrichment to the curriculum. A plan of continual
evaluation and revision is also part of this new program.
The Faculty has tried to preserve the best of the former curriculum but
to begin the development of a new curriculum which better relates to the
changing patterns of college and university education and to the needs of the
Church as it is called to serve in the contemporary world. In this development
the Faculty continually seeks a curriculum which reflects faithfulness to the
Gospel and serves as a context in which both faculty and students grow in
spiritual maturity.
One aim of the new curriculum is a better integration of material which
has tended to be fragmentized. The four traditional fields are combined into
three major areas of study: Biblical, Historical-Doctrinal, Pastoral, with all
three related to Field Education. Combining the Historical and Doctrinal into
one area should assist the student in studying history theologically and
theology historically. The Biblical Area combines in the same course the
study of the Bible in Hebrew or Greek with its study in English, introductory
and critical questions with biblical theology. Since the candidate for the B.D.
degree makes use of one of the original languages every quarter at Semi-
nary, he must have a reading knowledge of biblical Greek at the beginning
of his first year. Special provision is made for Christian education and non-
degree students.
A variety of teaching methods seeks to utilize in a better way the gifts
of different faculty members and to meet the needs of different students with
varying abilities and academic backgrounds. Emphasis is given to team teach-
ing and small group work, providing opportunity for close faculty-student
relationships. Students who are weak in particular areas receive special help
through the small group approach. Students who demonstrate unusual pro-
ficiency in particular areas are given a more flexible schedule of study in
place of normal requirements. Third year students who qualify can par-
ticipate in the Honors Program which gives opportunity for independent and
intensive study in one field.
Field education is integrated with other areas of the curriculum so that
both faculty and students can more readily relate their studies on the campus
with what is happening in the Church and the community and the world. The
resources of the churches and other institutions and agencies in Greater At-
lanta can contribute much to a theological education adequate for the day
in which the Church is called to serve.

terials so that the student himself may acquire both skill in the art of teaching
and knowledge of teaching-learning theories.
FIELD EDUCATION
The Field Education Program requires the participation of students in the
work of the church both during the three academic and the two summers of their
seminary studies. The program for each of the three academic years is described
below. The summer program involves one summer in a local pastorate as student
assistant or supply pastor and the other summer preferably in some specialized
ministry. Further information may be found in the general information section
of this catalog or obtained from the Director of Field Education.
First Year
This experience in Field Education is designed to introduce each first year stu-
dent to the local Church from an alert pastor's prospective. The class is divided
into small groups under the supervision of professors in the Pastoral Area. Each
group is assigned to one of the churches in the Atlanta area for the purpose of
studying the worship and work of the congregation and understanding the role of
the pastor in relation to the congregation and the community.
Recreation and audio-visual workshops will also be provided during the year.
46
Second Year
In the second year an attempt is made to understand the dynamics present in
local community life where the congregation must function as the Church. Pro-
fessors from the Biblical and Historical-Doctrinal Areas supervise this investigation
by the second year students in the context of small groups. Visits are made to
institutions and agencies in the community with the expectation of seeing the
relevance of seminary studies to the individual and corporate life of people and
the involvement that the Church is to have in the community.
Third Year
In the third year the focus is on the life of the Church-at-large. The program of
the Presbyterian Church, U.S. is presented through visits to boards and agencies
of our denomination and consultation with staff members. A study is also made
of the resources of interdenominational relationships and organizations.
In the Spring Quarter consideration is given to the place of presbytery exam-
ination in our Church and preparation for it.

THE OLD CURRICULUM
On the pages that follow are the course descriptions for the old curricu-
lum. This is the curriculum under which students graduating in 1966, 1967
and 1968 will complete their work. It also indicates for graduate students
the elective courses which the faculty anticipates teaching during 1966-67
and 1967-68. All courses for first year students have been deleted, as
students beginning their studies at Columbia in 1966 will follow the new
curriculum described on the preceding pages.
Group 1
BIBLICAL FIELD
The Church has always emphasized the importance of the original lang-
uage of Holy Scripture in theological education. "The Old Testament in
Hebrew, and the New Testament in Greek, being immediately inspired by
God, the Church is finally to appeal unto them." Therefore, the 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
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 Near Eastern Archaeological Seminar (see

HISTORICAL FIELD
CHURCH HISTORY AND HISTORICAL THEOLOGY
The Church is the people of God gathered around the Messiah. She
is the listening, worshipping and witnessing community living under the
Reign of Grace and looking for the Reign of Glory. As she was founded,
so has she been carried onward by the Mighty acts of God in Christ Jesus.
Across the ages she is advancing with the Bible as her guide and her am-
munition.
The Church appears in various forms under different cultures among
sundry peoples and in changing epochs. The history of the Church treats of
her missionary work, her doctrine and her worship, her organization and
her vindication. In addition to the account of these several phases in the
general course, institutions receive special attention in the course on Pres-
byterian history and polity, defense against opposing views in Apologetics,
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.

MEDIEVAL CHURCH
220. Medieval Church History.
During the dark ages between the fall of Rome and the emergence of the
nations of Europe, the Church carried the torch of religion and education. The
fathers and the doctors formulated the heritage of the faith. The Germanic
peoples were won to the Christian allegiance. Tensions between East and West
led to schisms and separation. Worldliness evoked monasticism, education flowered
into scholasticism, reform freed the Church from feudal control and brought in
the papal autocracy. The great mediaeval synthesis collaped and the way was
prepared for the Reformation.

PASTORAL FIELD
A. THE TEACHING MINISTRY
The Church, according to Scripture, is a school. The responsibility for
the teaching ministry of the Church belongs to the whole congregation;
nevertheless, the minister as the teaching elder has a position of leadership
in this task. He is charged by the Book of Church Order "to catechise the
children and youth and to oversee the educational program of the church."
To help equip the seminary graduate for this aspect of his ministry, two
basic courses are required of all students. The first, No. 400, seeks to intro-
duce the student to the nature of the teaching ministry while the second,
No. 401, deals with the practical aspects of the ministry in the local church.
Elective courses are offered to assist interested students in pursuing a
deeper understanding of the teaching ministry.
401. The Organization and Administration of Christian Education.
This course is designed to prepare ministers for their role in dealing practically
and effectively with the organization and administration of the total program
of Christian education. While the major emphasis will rest upon the curriculum
60
of the Presbyterian Church, U. S., other resources will be used in the study
of such problems as the relation of Church and home, the criteria for evaluating
curricula, and the teaching-learning process.

ment in the Roman Catholic Church.
Elective, two hours McCarter
408. Teaching the Bible.
If the Bible is to fulfill its purpose in the Church it is not enough that it be
preached, it must be taught. If the minister is to fulfill his function in the
Church it is not enough that he preach, he must teach. Above all, he must be
skilled in teaching the Bible. This is just as true for Directors of Christian Edu-
cation and for missionaries. This is a course in practice teaching in which
