SESSIONS.

There is but one session in the Seminary year. The year com-
mences on the 1st of October, and ends on the 1st of June.

ADMISSION,

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

The Seminary is open to Students of every denomination. Can-
didates for admission must furnish the Faculty with satisfactory
testimonials, 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 persons, 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 and Chaldee Languages and the
Grammatical and Exegetical study of the Hebrew and Chaldee
Scriptures. Various portions of the Historical, Poetical and
Prophetic Books are read, together with the Chaldee parts of
Ezra and Daniel. Translation of portions of the New Testa-
ment into Hebrew.

2. The Exegetical study of the New Testament in Greek. The
Harmony of the four Gospels, the Epistles, the Apocalypse of
John.

8. Biblical Antiquities, Sacred Geography, the Principles of Inter-
pretation, Biblical Criticism, Introduction to the Old and New
Testaments.
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 six days in each week in
the Junior year. In the Middle and Senior years there are Exe-
getical exercises three days in the week.

The Syriac and Arabic Languages are taught to such Students as
desire it. A voluntary class in the latter of these has been formed
during the last year. The Seminary presents advantages very rare,
if not unequalled, in this country, for the prosecution of Oriental
Studies. One of its instructors, whose vernactdar is the Arabic, and
who is minutely and critically skilled in Hebrew and the cognate
dialects, who speaks and writes them with fluency and ease, has a
choice collection of Oriental works ; the Library of the South Caro-
lina 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 language
is very, thorough. Students are practised in writing it, as well as
in reading it.

II. 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, and Calvin's Institutes. The
first is 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 Metaphysical Philoso-
phy, and a complete course on Systematic Theology. The students
in all the classes are required to write dissertations on subjects
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 particular
topic.

III. ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY AND CHURCH
POLITY.

The teaching of these branches is partly by lectures and partly by
text books.

1. The Junior Class is occupied one day of every week with the

first part of Church History, extending down to the setting
up of the Christian Church. The text-book is Kurtz's Manual
of Sacred History.

2. The Middle Class give their attention two days of every week to

the second part of Church History, extending from the times
of the Apostles to the Eighteenth Century. The text-book is
Mosheim's Ecclesiastical History the Professor constantly
supplementing the text-book with written lectures.

3. The third year is devoted to Church Polity. The text-book is

Book IV. of Calvin's Institutes ; the Professor meets the Class
twice every week, either for a lecture or for an examination on
the text-book. Particular attention is given to the exposition
of our Form of Government and Book of Discipline.
