In Biblical thought a name is more than a label for identifi-
cation; it is a statement of the essential character of the bearer.
This is true, also, of the name "Columbia Theological Seminary."
"Columbia" speaks of historic roots in a denomination and loca-
tion in a particular city; 'Theological" describes the task; and
"Seminary" indicates the way the task is accomplished.

The words and pictures that follow attempt to convey the
character of Columbia Theological Seminary. But words and pic-
tures, alone, are incomplete. For Columbia's alumni, their alma
mater's name evokes vivid memories, faces, traditions, and shared
commitment. For others, the name is given life by the lives of
those 2,400 alumni who have gone forth from Columbia to serve
Christ and His Church.

These men and women have provided leadership for the semi-
nary's supporting synods of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. And
beyond the geographical boundaries of the Synods of Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina, they serve
throughout the congregations and agencies of that Church, and in
many other parts of the Church throughout the world.

Columbia Theological Seminary prepares men and women for
ministry and service as pastors and teachers, missionaries, coun-
sellors, service agency leaders, chaplains, and administrators. The
seminary's curriculum includes academic preparation in Bible
study, the history and doctrine of the Church, and pastoral train-
ing; practical preparation in field education and intern year pro-
grams, clinical training, and teaching, preaching, hospital, and
speech practicums; and personal preparation in spiritual growth,
motivation, and understanding of the world's problems.

As these men and women minister, the churches and the com-
munities they touch know Columbia Theological Seminary.

May we introduce the school and the training which their lives
reflect? Read on, and meet Columbia Theological Seminary.

COLUMBIA

"Columbia" refers to the first permanent location of the semi-
nary in Columbia, South Carolina, in 1828 a principal cultural,
intellectual, and population center of the Southeast.

The first idea of a theological school for the South was planted
by the Presbytery of Hopewell (Georgia) as early as 1817, but it
was not until 1824 that a constitution for "The Classical, Scientific,
and Theological Institution of the South" was adopted by the
Presbytery of South Carolina, and the members of the presbytery
were authorized to act as the Board of Trustees for that institution.

In 1827, the Board recommended to the Synod that the consti-
tution be altered to make the institution solely a theological
seminary. (There had been great opposition to the proposed
literary department being in competition with the College of South
Carolina.) The official name of the seminary became The Theolog-
ical Seminary of the Synod of South Carolina and Georgia; it soon
became known as Columbia Theological Seminary - a name which
was accepted as permanent in 1925. The revised constitution was
adopted by Synod in 1828, and it was resolved to get the seminary
into operation immediately.

The Reverend Thomas Goulding, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church in Lexington, Georgia, was elected the first Professor of
Theology in December of 1828, and he gathered five students for
instruction in the manse. Following completion of arrangements
in Columbia, they moved to a campus there in January of 1830.

That same year, the Reverend George Howe, a New Englandef,
was elected by the synod as instructor in languages. The following
year he became Professor of Biblical Literature, and, shortly,
librarian, overseeing the growth of the seminary's library from the
original 300 books collected by the presbyteries in 1829 to more
than 3,000 by 1836. Dr. Howe also organized the first curriculum
for the seminary, apparently modeling it after those of the Prince-
ton Seminary and of Andover Theological Seminary. He served
nearly fifty years until his death in 1883.

In 1857, the Synod of Alabama established the adoption of the
seminary as "our own, placing its name among those of the
institutions which we call 'ours', and which we are to cherish and
care for, support, help, and encourage as our own". Florida (as
part of the Synod of South Georgia and Florida) joined in 1884,
with Mississippi completing the five-synod structure in 1925.

Among the buildings on the Columbia campus was the little
chapel formerly a carriage house where Woodrow Wilson was
to be "reborn for eternity", and where the Presbyterian, U. S.,
Book of Church Order was written.

By the 1920s, the population of the Southeast - and of Presby-
terians in the area - was shifting, and the centers of influence were
moving with it. Atlanta had been a transportation center since the
1880s, and so was developing as a commercial, industrial, educa-
tional and cultural center, also. Certain Atlanta Presbyterians and
leaders of the seminary were convinced of the city's leadership of
the New South and its advantages for the seminary and of the
seminary for the city. In 1924, the Board of Directors agreed
(after two previous refusals in 1887 and 1904), and the decision
was made to move to Atlanta, if a campaign for the new facilities
and endowment could be successfully completed in the Synod of
Georgia. Launched in 1925, the campaign had a goal of $500,000
which was promptly subscribed. In that success the cooperation
of the city's 14,193 Presbyterians in their seventy-four churches
played the determining part.

In 1927, the seminary transferred its Columbia traditions and
ministry, its students and faculty, and its books and equipment
to a fifty-seven acre Decatur, Georgia, site on the outskirts of
Atlanta, joining Candler School of Theology and another eleven
of the current twenty-three institutions of higher education in
the greater Atlanta area. The wisdom of this decision has been
reinforced by the eventual location in Atlanta of the offices of
many boards and agencies of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S.
and the headquarters of fifteen other denominations and church
organizations; of another eleven educational institutions (including
the Interdenominational Theological Center and several church
colleges); and by the current reputation that Atlanta enjoys as a
cultural center of the nation.

The Synods of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and
South Carolina control and support Columbia Seminary, and from
her derive much of the strength of their leadership. Its graduates
serve the Presbyterian Church, U. S., in other places, also, and
in other denominations in this and eighteen other countries.

THEOLOGICAL .

A student working with the
Hebrew text.

The main task of a minister is to be a theologian one who
helps people understand modern problems in the light of the
eternal Biblical witness. Columbia Seminary prepares men and
women for today's ministry by creating a theological environment
in which faculty and students share an evaluative, questioning,
discerning search for a living understanding of the Christian faith.

This faith, in its Presbyterian branch, is Reformed in theology,
Presbyterian in government, and Puritan in tradition. In achieving
an understanding of this confessional faith, the history of the
Church is seen in its ideas, in its pivotal leaders, and in its
changing structures as the foundation of theological study.

How is this accomplished?

Word of God Intensive study of God's word is the orientation
of the plan of instruction. Because of it and for it Columbia
Seminary exists. It illuminates all that is taught and studied about
Him, and all that is, eventually, spoken for Him.

The Word deepens men's love of Christ, encourages their spiritual
growth, and inspires their zeal for service. Students encounter it in
formal study, and in daily public worship and private devotions.

Word about God Study of understandings and interpretations
of God's acts in the world builds the walls of Columbia's instruction.
Historical' courses on the Church, its literature, and its theology
occupy the major portion of the students' time.

Word for God The awesome task of preparing to be God's
spokesman, prophets, teachers, and servants is begun by study
about God, but it is made possible only by the practice of those
techniques that illuminate for men His will. Throughout the three
years' work, the master of divinity student participates in a full
range of practicums on preaching and speech, teaching, the roles

Understanding the Church.

The challenge of communicating
in the world.

of the minister, and pastoral care. The field education experience
is developed with the advice of faculty members and is integrally
linked with the classroom curriculum. Academic knowledge is
sharpened in supervised field education situations throughout the
three years, including one summer in a local parish, special com-
munity ministries, and senior-year preaching and participation, for
one quarter, in a local church.

Students enter the seminary because of their motivation and
response to God's demands upon them. During their years of
struggle and preparation, they further develop their own patterns
of personal devotional life, and are stimulated by student preach-
ing, daily chapel services, and faculty and guest preachers and
speakers. Campus groups, such as the Society of Missionary In-
quiry and the Society for Theological Scholarship, foster further
understanding of God at work through the Church.

This understanding of God's expectation of His people - in the
Early Church, in the Reformation Church, in the Presbyterian
world, and in today's Church - and these beginning preparations
for ministering in His name, ready men and women for discovering
their points of service to Him.

SEMINARY'

To be a seminary is to teach, and be taught, in a very special
and specialized field. It assumes basic understandings of life and*
people and the historical influences that have formed them (evi-
denced, usually, by an undergraduate academic degree).

Columbia Seminary is a particular gathering of men and women
committed to beginning a life-long preparation for God's service.
Her thirty resident and visiting faculty members bear proud
academic and pastoral credentials for the preparation of the
Church's leaders. Her more than 200 students come predominantly
from the Presbyterian Church, U. S., but her community life is
enriched by students from other denominations and from over
half the states, and Christian churches in several countries.

These members of the Columbia learning community teach,
and are taught, in the formal classroom setting, in seminars,
practicums, and other discussion groups, in individual conferences,
and in joint program efforts. The faculty-student ratio is eight to
one, making possible a creative interplay of ideas and thoughtful
participation.

Creative and traditional teaching methods are employed by
Columbia's faculty. The traditional lecture, seminar and practicum
methods are combined with team teaching, concerted planning for
small-group learning situations, and varied use of video tape equip-
ment.

The challenge and resources of community and other education-
al institutions are made available to the student body through the
Seminary's cooperative work with such organizations as the Atlanta
Theological Association, the Georgia Association for Pastoral Care,
the Protestant Radio and Television Center, the Center for Medi-
terranean Studies, The Urban Training Organization of Atlanta,
Emory University, Georgia State University, Agnes Scott College,
and other colleges and universities. The Seminary is a fully-
accredited member of the American Association of Theological
Schools.

The completion of degree work is only a marking point in
educating for ministry. Questions raised, methods taught, attitudes
fostered all encourage the life-long process of education. The
Church deserves this, and the Seminary's five supporting synods

(Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida) are
the especial recipients of its advantages.

Columbia recognizes this and through her program of Graduate
and Continuing Education provides educational resources and
support for ministers throughout their lives. At times ministers
are invited to return for specialized study with the faculty. At
other times the Seminary's resources are made available to ministers
near their homes as an extension service. All of these opportunities
are designed to encourage and make possible the further develop-
ment of the Church's leaders.

Columbia Seminary has this task: to prepare men and women
as the leaders, pastors, and teachers of the Presbyterian Church,
U. S. It has been charged with this responsibility by the Synods of
South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia. And
these synods have historically stated, and repeatedly confirmed,
their intention to be responsible for the enabling support of this
Seminary.

Their support has included gathering the first books for the
fledgling library, naming and encouraging leaders of the Seminary
(from professors to members of the board of directors), encourag-
ing the move from Columbia to Atlanta, and looking to Columbia
Seminary for their new leadership.

And that support is financial. It costs approximately $3,200 a
year to educate each student. Just under a quarter of that cost is
covered by student-paid fees. Synod benevolence gifts meet al-
most twenty percent. Individual annual gifts to Living Endow-
ment provide another twenty percent.

Endowment income covers the largest amount of the cost per
student nearly one-third. This endowment income supports the
library, teaching staff, and physical facilities, and provides financial
assistance and emergency loan funds for students.

Gifts to the Seminary's endowment are a sound investment. The
annual dividends are returned to the whole Church in the lives of
the men and women trained at Columbia. Gifts to this permanent
endowment are also perpetual memorials paying grateful tribute to
men and women who have served Christ and His Church and are
remembered as their names are listed on specific endowed funds.

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS

Financial assistance is provided for students at Columbia Semi-
nary on the basis of their individual financial needs. The application
process involves financial planning and budgeting in which the
student receives the guidance and assistance of the Seminary's
Financial Aid Officer.

Columbia expects students to pay as much of the cost of
their education as possible from their own resources. But beyond
these resources there are many unmet needs. These needs Columbia
attempts to meet so that no qualified student will be denied the
education he seeks in preparation for service in the leadership of
the Church.

Scholarship Funds provide the resources to help students pay
bills. But more than that they also encourage students in their
studies by reminding them of the interested concern of men and
women in the Church.

Many friends have provided scholarship assistance through gifts
large and small. We list below those established funds which ex-
ceed $500. Descriptive paragraphs attempt in a limited way to de-
pict what these funds accomplish each year for Columbia students.

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS OF $500 - $2,999

Individually scholarship funds of this size provide books for a
student for one or two quarters, or help a student family with
medical expenses. Grouped with other similar funds they provide
greater assistance for specific items in a student's budgeted needs.

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS OF $3,000 - $4,999

Scholarship funds of this size provide each year the tuition for
one student for one full quarter or they provide books for a
student for a whole year. In some cases where accumulated
resources and part-time work almost meet expenses a scholarship
fund of this size enables a student to give attention to his studies
instead of worrying about his finances.

MEMORIAL FUNDS

Even when a student is able to pay completely the fees charged
for his theological education he is not paying the full cost. The
Presbyterian Church has historically accepted the responsibility
for paying a major share of the cost of the training of ministers,
missionaries and other full-time church leaders.

The Church meets its responsibility in financing theological
education through annual benevolence budgets, special gifts and
capital funds. Memorial funds provide over one-third of the annual
income for theological education at Columbia Seminary. Un-
designated Memorial Funds are especially valuable as they enable
Columbia to meet the changing needs of each year and respond to
the varied opportunities that come.

12

Memorial Funds not only honor and perpetuate the interest of
Christian friends, but they also underwrite day-to-day expenses and
provide for increased service through growth and development of
facilities and program.

The varied ways Memorial Funds meet daily needs at Columbia
Seminary are illustrated in the descriptive paragraphs below. In
these vital parts of its daily life the Seminary community is re-
minded of the generosity and concern of those who have establish-
ed these Funds and those whom the Funds honor.

The provision of theological education demands the dedicated
talents of a host of persons seldom thought of, secretaries, mainte-
nance personnel, library assistants, and cooks. Memorial Funds help
provide the salaries for these important members of the Seminary
community. These funds also bring to the Seminary each year for
shorter periods of time preachers, teachers and spiritual leaders
whose ministries enrich Seminary education.

The maintenance and repair of buildings grows more expensive
each year, yet it must always be carefully done in order to preserve
the fine facilities provided at Columbia. Faculty members must be
paid adequate salaries and opportunities must be provided for the
continuing study which enables them to make their greatest con-
tribution to the life of the Church. Memorial Funds insure that
these and many other daily needs are met each and every year.

ENDOWMENT FOR TEACHING

At the heart of the Seminary's ministry of training ministers is
its faculty. The men who serve as professors carry the responsibility
for instruction and also perform a pastoral ministry through their
many contacts with students outside the classroom.

Some persons, families and churches choose the endowment of
teaching as a means of honoring and expressing gratitude for
Christian leaders and strengthening the Seminary. Through this
endowment they provide annually compensation for faculty mem-
bers in a particular department. Funds for this purpose are nec-
essarily of larger amounts and the Seminary lists here with gratitude
the following Funds which exceed $50,000.

The Cartledge Chair of New Testament $65,999

The C. Darby Fulton Chair of Missions 191,894

STUDENT LOAN FUNDS

Each year some Columbia students face particular financial
crises. Often sickness or an accident create an immediate emergency
financial need. Frequently these crises come to married students
whose resources are already stretched to the limit. These needs
are met through Student Loan Funds.
