SESSIONS. 

There is but one Session in the Seminary year. The year commen- 
ces on the 1st of October, and ends on the 1st of June. 



AMISSION. 

The regular time for admission to the Seminary is in October. It is 
very desirable that all Students should be present at the commence- 
ment of the year, particularly those entering the Junior Class. 

The Seminary is open to Students of every denomination. Candi- 
dates for admission must furnish the Faculty with satisfactory testi- 
monials, from enlightened and pious persons, of their talents, piety, 
and prudence,  of having been regularly educated at some College or 
University, or of having made attainments deemed equivalent,  and 
of being in full communion with some Christian Church. Such per- 
sons, on assenting to the Constitution of the Seminary, are admitted 
to the enjoyment of all its privileges. 



COURSE OF STUDIES. 

The course of Study embraces a period of three years, and covers 
the several departments of Theological education. 

I. BIBLICAL LITERATURE. 

1. The Grammar of the Hebrew Language, and the Grammatical and 

Exegetical study of the Hebrew Scriptures. Various portions of 
the Historical, Poetical and Prophetic Books are read, together 
with the Chaldee parts of Ezra and Daniel. Translation of por- 
tions of the New Testament into Hebrew. 

2. The Exegetical study of the New Testament in Greek. The Har- 

mony of the four Gospels, the Epistles, the Apocalypse of John. 

3. Biblical Antiquities, Sacred Geography, the Principles of Interpre- 

tation, Biblical Criticism, Introduction to the Old and New Testa- 
ments. 



CATALOGUE. 17 



4. Lectures on the Canon of the Old and New Testaments, on Inter- 
pretation, on Biblical Criticism, on the Languages of the Original 
Scriptures, and on Prophecy. 
The studies in this department occupy five days in each week in 

the Junior rear. In the middle and Senior years there are Exegeti- 

cal exercises three days in the week. 

H. CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY. 

The department of Theology is taught partly by text books, and 
partly by lectures. The text books used are : 

Paley's Evidences of Christianity, Butler's Analogy, and Calvin's 
Institutes. The two first are studied in the Junior, and the last, in 
the Middle and Senior years. The lectures to the Junior Class, are on 
Miracles, Inspiration and the Internal Evidences of Christianity. Those 
to the Senior embrace an introductory view of Moral and Metaphysi- 
cal Philosophy, and a complete course on Systematic Theology. The 
students in all the classes, are required to write dissertations on sub- 
jects assigned them by the Professor. In addition to their studies in 
the Seminary, they are required to prepare, in their vacations, either 
an analysis of some standard work, such as Edwards on the Will, 
Luther de Servo Arbitrio, or elaborate compositions upon some par- 
ticular topic. 

HI. ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY AND CHURCH 
GOVERNMENT. 

1. Course of Study on Chronology, Sacred and Profane. 

2. Course of Lectures on the First Part of Church History, extending 

from the Creation to the close of the New Testament Canon ; 
showing also the connection of Sacred and Profane History. 

3. Recitations and Lectures on the Second Part of Church History, 

from the close of the New Testament Canon to the present time. 

4. Course of Lectures and Studies on Church Government and Dis- 

cipline. 

5. Written Essays by the Students  Biographical and Historical.

IV. SACRED RHETORIC. 

1. Recitations in Campbell's Philosophy of Rhetoric and Porters' 

Homiletics. 

2. Exercises in Public Speaking, consisting of Original Declamations, 

Delivery of Sermons, and Forensic Debates, accompanied with 
free criticism. 

3. The public and private criticism of Sermons and Skeletons. 

4. Dissertations, Essays and Critiques, prepared by the Senior Class, 

on various subjects in the department of Sacred Rhetoric. 

Tuesday evening is appropriated to Rhetorical Exercises, including 
Debates, Declamation, and the delivery of Sermons. 

Professors' Conference.  Friday evening is occupied by the 
Professors, in familiar conference before the Students upon per- 
sonal piety, the best plan and method of study, and the practical du- 
ties of the Pastoral Office, with the design of filling the department of 
Pastoral Theology. 

The Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic Languages will be taught to such 
Students as may wish to learn those languages. The Seminary pre- 
sents advantages very rare, if not unequalled, in this country, for the 
prosecution of Oriental Studies. One of its instructors, whose vernacu- 
lar is the Arabic, and who is minutely and critically skilled in He- 
brew and the cognate dialects, who speaks and writes them with flu- 
ency and ease, has a choice collection of Oriental works ; the Library 
of the South Carolina College is particularly rich in them, and the 
Library of the Seminary is as well furnished with them, as most of 
the public Libraries of the country. The drilling in the Hebrew lan- 
guage is very thorough. Students are practised in writing it. as well 
as in reading it. Instruction may be obtained in town in the French, 
German, Italian, and Spanish. 

Buildings.  These are neat and commodious. The Central Build- 
ing is devoted to the Library and other public purposes. Law Hall 
and Simons Hall were planned especially for the comfort of the stu- 
dent, are lighted with gas, and supplied with the most necessary arti- 
cles of furniture. 

Library.  The extensive and choice Library of Rev. Dr. Smyth, 
of Charleston, has been added to the former Library of the Seminary 



CATALOGUE. 19 



during the past year, and our whole collection now embraces over 
16,600 volumes, besides the private libraries of the Professors, con- 
taining 12,000 volumes more. The use of the College Library is also 
extended, by courtesy, to the Instructors of the Seminary, a collection 
of great value, and now amounting to 25,000 volumes. 

The Society of Inquiry on Missions, is in the possession of a valua- 
ble Cabinet, and its Reading-Room is furnished with the most impor- 
tant Periodicals, Foreign and Domestic. 

Expenses.  The Board, Washing and Fuel of a student residing in 
the Seminary, have heretofore amounted to from eighty to one hun- 
dred dollars per annum. The high prices at present prevailing have in- 
creased these expenses ; but arrangements are anticipated which will 
considerably reduce them. Meanwhile the measure of assistance af- 
forded to those requiring it has been proportionably increased. The 
Institution is a Charitable foundation, and no charge is made for room- 
rent, tuition, or use of Library. Provision is also made for the sup- 
port of all Students in indigent circumstances. 

The Seminary is pleasantly situated in the thriving town of Colum- 
bia, a place remarkable for health, the Capital of the State of South- 
Carolina, the seat of its College and other public Institutions, of easy 
access by rail-roads, which are connecting it more and more with 
other portions of the Southern and South- Western States. A branch 
of the South-Carolina Rail-road terminates at this place, where it 
unites with the Charlotte and Greenville Rail-roads. By means of 
these and other rail-ioads now in operation, or shortly to be so, this 
Seminary may be easily reached from any part of the United States.
