CfiMP0IGN6 fiDD ENDOWMENT
One of the most crucial needs
facing Columbia Theological Semi-
nary as it launches into a new decade
is a healthy increase in its endow-
ment. Thanks to the vision of the
Board of Directors, the encourage-
ment of the supporting Synods, and
the success of the Capital Funds
Campaigns, this need is being real-
ized.
Dr. Paul Tudor Jones, Chairman
of the Synod of the Mid-South's
Campaign for Theological Education,
enthusiastically reports that $2,080,-
814 has been pledged to Louisville
and Columbia Seminaries by the
churches in the Synod. Columbia
Seminary's share of the $2,500,000
goal is $700,000 and will be used
entirely to strengthen its endowment.
Over $200,000 has already been re-
ceived by Columbia.
In addition to the 297 congrega-
tions in the Synod of the Mid-South
which have made a commitment to
the Campaign, there are U 8 church-
es that are in the process of doing so.
With the participation of these "mar-
gin of difference" churches, it is
hoped that Columbia's goal will be
reached and exceeded.
Although Columbia Seminary's
"Margin of Excellence Campaign" in
the Synod of Florida is just now start-
ing to report results, there are many
encouraging signs. Dr. Harvard An-
derson and Mr. Sloan McCrea, Co-
Chairmen of the Campaign, indicate
that over fifty volunteers, lay and
clergy, are hard at work challenging
sessions and congregations to undcr-
gird the mission of Columbia with
their prayers and gifts. There is a
strong feeling that the goal of $1,-
Professor Tom Long of Columbia Seminary and Visitinf; Professor J. Randolph Taylor
of Charlotte, NC (standing right) enjoy a coffeebreak with Pastors during the recent
January Seminars.

Forty-five ministers were in at-
tendance at the 1980 January Semi-
nars for Ministers, held on the Col-
umbia campus January 7-11. The
leaders of the event, which included
500,000 in the Synod of Florida
will be reached.
The third phase of Columbia Semi-
nary's Capital Funds Campaign will
be conducted in the Synod of the
Southeast during 1980-82 with a
goal of $4,500,000.
Adding to the endowment of the
Seminary will keep student fees low-
er, will provide a hedge against in-
flation, and will enable Columbia to
continue its vital mission. A special
word of thanks to the many loyal
Presbyterians who are helping the
Seminary during the various phases
of the Campaign.
Professor Reginald Fuller, of the
Episcopal Theological Seminary in
Alexandria, Virginia; Dr. J. Ran-
dolph Taylor, of the Myers Park
Presbyterian Church, Charlotte,
North Carolina; and Dean Urban T.
Holmes, III, of the School of Theol-
ogy of the University of the South,
as well as Columbia Seminary faculty
members Catherine Gonzalez and
Thomas Long, spoke to the subjects
"The Minister as Preacher" and
"The Minister as Person." The Jan-
uary Seminars for Ministers is an
annual event sponsored by the semi-
nary and the Presbyteries of Athens,
Atlanta, and Cherokee. In 1981, the
Seminars will be held the week of
January 5-9.
The January Seminars have created
a great deal of excitement and are
meeting a real need in the lives of
pastors from the Southeast.
New pipe organ
An eleven rank Schantz pipe organ
will be installed in the Seminary
Chapel over the next several weeks
thanks to a generous gift of $10,000
from Mr. and Mrs. J. Sidney Query of
Mt. Pleasant, SC, and matched by a
number of smaller gifts and one
major anonymous gift.
The new organ, costing $33,500,
is especially designed for Columbia's
Chapel. It will complete a major
renovation plan, making the Chapel
a more appropriate place for worship
and learning. Since worship and
preaching are major elements of min-
istry, an effective place to practice
and demonstrate these experiences is
important to the Seminary.
A committee of two faculty mem-
bers and three students carefully se-
lected the new organ from among
five proposals presented. The order
for the Schantz pipe organ, manu-
factured in Orrville, OH, was placed
in June, 1978. The remodeling of the
rear of the Chapel where the console
and pipe stands will be housed was
completed last month.
The installation of the new organ
will occur during the week of April
7. Chapel will be held in the Red
Room of the Student Center during
the period of installation.
Moderator visits

PCUS Moderator Dr. Albert C. Winn talks
with student Garland Hart during the
Moderator's annual visit to Columbia
Seminary.
One of the highlights of the aca-
demic year at Columbia is the time
when the Moderator of the Presby-
terian Church, U.S. visits the Semin-
ary. It was our privilege to welcome
Dr. Albert C. Winn, the present Mod-
erator of our denomination, to our
campus recently.
Dr. Winn preached during Morning
Worship in Chapel and challenged the
faculty and student body to be faith-
ful in carrying out their high calling
in Christ.
Opportunities were provided for
the Moderator to engage in dialogue
with the members of the Seminary
community. Dr. Winn had some in-
teresting insights to share on the
state of the Church and on the issues
facing us as Christians in a crisis-
filled world.
Alumnus assumes
Presidency
Dr. Neely Dixon McCarter, Class
of '53, was installed as the Presi-
dent of the Pacific School of Rehgion
in Berkeley, California, on the 8th of
March, 1980. Neely served on the
faculty of Columbia Seminary from
1961 to 1966. He has been a mem-
ber of the faculty at Union Seminary
(Richmond) since 1966. Congratu-
lations and best wishes, Mr. Presi-
dent!

rPOM the PRE6DENT
I was a student in college during
the days just prior to World War II.
In the light of events occurring in
Afghanistan and elsewhere, I share
the feelings of many persons that we
are reliving the days when Hitler
kept swallowing up nation after na-
tion. Thoughtful people feel that the
world of the 80's is a world increas-
ingly shaken by convulsive crises of
war, hunger, and fear.
Let me share with you the Psalm-
ist's question: "If the foundations be
destroyed, what will the righteous
do?" A wise theologian responds,
"The righteous keep on being right-
eous!" That does not imply for a
moment that we live lives of sancti-
monious smugness or that we arc
self-righteous. Rather, in deep re-
liance upon God's grace and wisdom,
we walk humbly with Him.
Readers of the letter to the
Hebrews were obviously under fierce
pressure from without and from
within. As the world was shaken, the
things which remain unshaken are
the great basics of the Kingdom of
God.
So, we go on, serving Christ, the
Lord of Glory, and ministering as
His servants throughout the world.
We go on seeking peace and justice
for all. We do not yet see all things
under His feet, but in the language
of Hebrews, "We do see Jesus!"
We continue to give thanks for
your support and your partnership in
the great mission of Columbia. May
God be with you in your own daily
work and worship.
A Faithfully yours,
J. Davison Philips

Thanks to a vital Council of 30
graduates, the Columbia Seminary
Alumni/ae Association is growing
in participation and support of its
theological alma mater. President
Larry Wood and the Alumni/ae offi-
cers have given good direction to the
Council and the Association through-
out 1979 leading up to the Annual
Meeting during the Columbia Forum
in January, 1980.
The Meeting of the Council on
Tuesday, January 29, provided an op-
portunity for the members of the
Council to have an update on what
has been happening on the campus.
President J. Davison Philips spoke
on the subject, "The Most Pressing
Concerns and Issues in the Seminary's
Future." Key Faculty and Staff mem-
bers shared some of their areas of
concern.
Dialogue opportunities were sched-
uled in small groups dealing with
such subjects as "Faculty and Staff
Recruitment," "Continuing Educa-
tion," and the "New Department of
Ministry." Students David Cameron,
Mark Diehl, and Jann Aldridge
shared with the Council their call to
ministry and what Columbia is doing
to prepare them for ministry.
The Council's Nominating Com-
mittee prepared the following slate of
officers for 1980:
Pres. James T. Richardson ('65)
V.Pres. G. Daniel McCall ('60)
Sec'y. Park H. Moore, Jr. ('50)
The slate was presented to the
Alumni/ae Association during the
luncheon on Wednesday, January 30,
and was elected by acclamation.
The Council also proposed mul-
tiple projects to be a part of the
1980-81 Alumni/ae Giving Program.
The approved projects are Scholar-
ship Aid, $25,000; Alumni/ae Lec-
tureship, $1,000; CTS History, $5,-
000; and Publishing Grant Fund of
up to $5,000.

How five ministers
fully used Forum
Five ministers from Westminster
Presbytery came to the Columbia
Forum together as part of a regular
ministers' support group activity.
They attended the Forum activities
and in addition planned some of
their own.
Under a common theme of "Pas-
tor in Crisis," they contracted with
three Seminary professors to discuss
problems in the three disciplines re-
lating to this theme. Professors Gon-
zalez, Kline and Ramey each held
separate ninety-minute sessions with
them during the Forum and the five
ministers spent several evenings dis-
cussing books they had each read
concerning the theme.
The group stayed at the Seminary
for the entire week of the Forum,
giving themselves one day of rest
when no activities were planned. The
ministers were: J. Jey Deifell, Jr.
(Trinity Church, Clearwater), James
T. Richardson (Tims Memorial,
Lutz), Paul T. Reiter (First, Bran-
don), Willard Doyle (Northwood,
Clearwater) and Gerald L. Voye
(Temple Terrace). Three members
of the support group were unable to
attend: Richard Caldwell (formerly
of Tampa, now Macon), C. William
Hull (Seffner) and A. T. Brown
(Cedarwood Conference Center).
The support group was organized
about eighteen months ago and meets
one day a month from 10:00 A.M.
to 3:00 P.M. They share what they
are reading and learning in ministry
and support each other and their
work in prayer.
Women of Columbia
host meetings
A good example of a learning re-
source in the Seminary Community is
the current Women of Columbia's
Spring Program Series. The engaging
speakers featured in the Series have
spoken about ministry and issues fac-
ing the church today.
Attendance at all functions has
been excellent and each session well
received. Seminary professors leading
the programs have included: Cather-
ine Gonzalez, Shirley Guthrie, Ben
Kline, and Erskine Clarke. Among
other church leaders who have par-
ticipated are Dr. Caspar Langella,
Joyce Tucker, Shirley Adams, and
several ministers wives in the At-
lanta area.
Mrs. Betty Dodds, Secretary in the
Office of Seminary Relations, serves
as the advisor to the Women of Co-
lumbia. Donna McBride is the Presi-
dent of woe, and Bebe Brewton is
the organization's program chairman.
CTS Basketball
Tournament an
ecumenical success
On Friday and Saturday, February
22-23, Columbia Theological Semi-
nary hosted four other Seminaries in
the "Seminaries of the Southeast" In-
vitational Basketball Tournament.
There were two teams from Colum-
bia TTieological Seminary, a team
from the Interdenominational Theo-
logical Center in Atlanta, a team
from Reformed Theological Semi-
nary in Jackson, Mississippi, a team
from Louisville Presbyterian Semi-
nary in Louisville, Kentucky, and a
team from Southeastern Baptist
Theological Seminary in Wake For-
est, North Carolina.
On Saturday night, one of the best
games of the entire tournament saw
Louisville defeat Reformed in an
overtime game, 68-61, for the Third-
Place-Consolation trophy. Louisville
was led by student Neil Kuhlhorst,
who was a standout in the tourna-
ment with a 24.7 point average. Fol-
lowing their game was the Champion-
ship Final which saw the "Holy
Smokes" from Columbia Seminary
defeat the team from ITC by the
score of 80-63.
rpcil Moore honored
V f
Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds
A. Cecil Moore, Jr. was recently honored
for his "quiet service" to Seminary stu-
dents.
Rarely does the opportunity arise
for a large number of Columbia Sem-
inary students to publicly recognize a
staff member for their quiet service
to the seminary and students. One
such opportunity was the Senior
Class' honoring of A. Cecil Moore,
Jr., Superintendent of Buildings and
Grounds recently.
In a certificate, presented to him
on this occasion, the Senior Class
said: "Inasmuch as A. Cecil Moore,
Jr., has ministered to us in plain and
special ways, through tiresome, tedi-
ous and often thankless jobs; has
played a significant role in facilitat-
ing the process of our preparation for
ministry; and has by his commit-
ment and personal application, served
as an example of what it means to be
faithful to one's call, we, the under-
signed, do express our abiding grati-
tude to this, God's servant, and our
brother in Christ."
The certificate was signed by over
forty Senior Class members and pre-
sented to Cecil at one of the monthly
Community Gatherings in January.

Thomas Haldane McDill
Professor of
Pastoral Care and Counseline
1951-1979
The Annual Alumni/ae Luncheon
of Columbia Theological Seminary,
held on January 30, 1980, was the
occasion for honoring Dr. Thomas
Haldane McDill who retired this past
year. Here are some of the remarks
that were included in the address of
Professor Theron S. Nease:
"In celebrating his contributions
and well-earned retirement, we could
point out how he plowed fresh terri-
tory in coming to Columbia when Pas-
toral Care was just a fledgling enter-
prise and established that discipline
as a respected and enormously influ-
encial part of our Seminary. We could
pinpoint how he lured persons to
come to the Atlanta area and join
with him in making this one of the
foremost places of clinical training
in the country.
"We could detail how he was one
of the prime movers in leading hos-
pitals and institutions of mental
health to see the value of having
chaplaincy programs and training op-
portunities for seminary students and
pastors. We could speak of how he
influenced hundreds of students to
claim their ministry to persons and
the church with a sensitivity to the
full scope of human dynamics, de-
velopment, and need.
"Tom McDill has been unique in
our midst. It has been said that
teachers can't preach and preachers
can't teach. He has demonstrated in
countless churches and in chapel
here a gift for the pulpit that filled
sanctuaries wherever he went.
"It has been said that clinicians
despise theory and theorists scorn
clinicians. Yet he demanded solid
theory for all clinical centers and in-
sisted that reading books was of
paramount importance to even the
most gifted clinical worker.
"It has been said that Pastoral
Care has no relationship to theology
or Bibilical studies. But woe unto any
student who dared to omit solid the-
oligical Biblical undergirding to even
the most empathic of pastoral con-
versations.
"Through your consistent and un-
tiring efforts, pastoral care advance-
ment has taken a giant step forward
in the Southeast."
Professor Theron S. Nease gave the ad-
dress honoring; Professor Emeritus Tom
McDill at the Alumni/ae Luncheon.
"Tom's genius was in having
broken all sorts of moulds in his
teaching experience, he fashioned
new creative ways of learning and
doing ministry. He significantly ful-
filled the role of pioneer by fearless-
ly confronting a wilderness, strug-
gling through the lonely task of blaz-
ing trails into uncharted vistas."
Some of the many comments, let-
ters and expressions of gratitude ad-
dressed to Professor McDill on the
occasion of his recognition follow:
"You brought a pastor's heart and
practical experience to an academic
institution."
"You conveyed to us the essential
quality of being a pastor and of car-
ing for our people."
"Thank you for turning my minis-
try into a pastorate."
Dr. Tom McDill thanked everybody for
their comments and gifts.
"Primarily as a result of your ded-
icated efforts the training now given
here in pastoral counseling is of such
high order as to command respect
both locally and throughout the
American Association of Theological
Schools."
Professor Nease presented Dr.
McDill with a sheaf of letters that
had been sent by his former students
and colleagues. Dr. Larry Wood,
President of the Alumnai/ae Asso-
ciation, presented Dr. and Mrs. Mc-
Dill with a check from graduates of
the Seminary to use toward a future
trip to the Holy Land.
Dr. McDill was accompanied at
the luncheon by his wife, Lila, and
son, Tom. He responded to the ex-
pressions of appreciation with words
of gratitude and asked President
Emeritus J. McDowell Richards to
conclude the honoring ceremony
with a prayer of thanksgiving.
Dr. McDill receives congratulations from
Professor Jap Keith.
Introducinq Koy Philip6
Seminary life for Mrs. Kay Philips,
wife of President J. Davison Philips,
is a busy and meaningful experience.
She travels with Dr. Philips on his
trips whenever possible and enjoys
meeting people from the different
congregations throughout the church.
"We entertain a lot," she says,
"and enjoy having various groups in
our home." Each year the Philips'
have an open house for Greek School
students, entertain the faculty, usual-
ly do something for one of the classes
and participate in the various con-
ferences. They often have visitors
stay with them, perhaps a trustee or
speaker who is on campus.
"Seminary life is different than
being a minister's wife in a local
church," she said, "The weekends
are freer and it's great to have a
pastor like Bill Holmes." Mrs Philips
has maintained her membership in
the Decatur Presbyterian Church
where Dr. Philips was the minister
for twenty-one years. She is the
Chairperson of the Columbia Friend-
ship Circle.
Dr. and Mrs. Philips have kept
many of their community ties and try
to see many old friends often. They
regularly attend the Atlanta Sym-
phony together and enjoy reading a
great deal. Occasionally they get
away to their old house in Montreat,
NC, where Dr. Philips enjoys "put-
tering" around and fixing things up.
Mrs. Philips enjoys working in the
yard, is a "birder" and collects
mountain crafts.
She is actively involved in a local
prayer group which has been meeting
for ten years. Another interest has
been her Study Club which meets
twice a month and discusses indepth
topics of interest.
The Philips' have two sons living
in Decatur one is married with two
little girls. They have a married
daughter living in Augusta who has
two little boys, the last bom earlier
this year named "Davison." Needless
to say, they are very proud of their
grandchildren!
Mrs. Philips thinks that students
need to really treasure their time in
Seminary. Its a time to study and
prepare for ministry. It's a unique
life experience and is to be lived.
Preaching and ministry is rewarding,
but it is also difficult and draining.
A minister needs to be equipped.
"They're here for such a brief
time," she said. "We hate to see the
Seniors leave. It's also exciting to see
the new ones arrive. They've so much
to learn."
She relates to the students' fami-
lies in seminary. "I remember when
Davison and I lived in a one room
apartment in Scotland with a baby
when he was working on his Ph.D. It
was in a hotel and money was tight,"
she reported. "I later flew home with
the baby, but I remember it well."
Kay Philips is busy, involved and
concerned with the Seminary's life.
Both she and Dr. Philips are dedi-
cated to the growth and welfare of
the Seminary and its students.

Seminary Day set
The PCUS has designated Sunday,
April 27, 1980, as this year's Semi-
nary Day. Columbia Theological
Seminary will participate in this
special day in several ways.
First, churches in the three spon-
soring Synods will have an opportun-
ity to receive specially designed bul-
letin inserts recognizing this day in
their churches.
Second, a specially prepared "Min-
ute for Mission" on the life and work
of Columbia Seminary will be used
during the worship services.
Third, a number of seminary facul-
ty members and students will be lead-
ing worship services in churches
throughout the Synods. It is hoped by
these and other efforts that all of the
churches will become more involved
in the purpose and mission of Colum-
bia Seminary.
