SESSIONS,

There is but one session in the Seminary year. The year com-
mences on the third Monday in September, and ends with the second
Thursday in May.

ADMISSIONS.

The' regular time for admission to the Seminary is in September. 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
persons, on assenting to the Constitution of the Seminary, are admitted
to the enjoyment of all its privileges.

CATALOGUE. 23

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 Grrammar 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.

3. 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 In-
terpretation, on Biblical Criticism, on the Languages of the Ori-
ginal 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 Exegeti-
cal exercises three days in the week.

The Syriac and Arabic Languages are taught to such Students as
desire it. The Seminary presents advantages very rare, if not
unequalled, in this country, for the prosecution of Oriental Stu-
dies. One of its instructors, whose vernacular 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

24 CATALOGUE. $

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 Libra-
ries of the country. The drilling in the Hebrew language is very
thorough. Students are practised in writing it, as well as in read-
ing 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 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.

CATALOGUE.

25

3. The third year is devoted to Church Polity. The test-book is
Book IV. of Calvin's Institutes ; the Professor meets the Class
twice every week, either for a Lecture or for examination on
the text-book. Particular attention is given to the exposition
of our Form of Government and Book of Discipline.

IV. SACKED RHETORIC.

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

Homiletics.

2. Exercises in public speaking, consisting of Original Declama-

tions, 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.

Italian and Spanish languages.

PROFESSORS' CONFERENCE.

Friday evening is occupied by the Professors in familiar conference
before the Students upon personal piety, the best plan and method of
study, and the practical duties of the Pastoral Office.

BUILDINGS.

These are neat and commodious. The Central Building is devoted
to the Library and other public purposes. Law Hall and Simons
Hall were planned especially for the comfort of the Students, are
lighted with gas, and supplied with the most necessary articles of
furniture. 3

26 CATALOGUE.

LIBRARY.

The extensive and choice Library of Rev. Dr. Smyth, of Charles-
ton, has been added to the former Library of the Seminary, and our
whole collection now embraces 17,549 volumes, besides the private
Libraries of the Professors, containing 10,000 volumes more. The
use of the College Library is also extended, by courtesy, to the In-
structors of the Seminary, a collection of great value, and now
amounting to 24,000 volumes.

The Society of Inquiry on Missions is in the possession of a valu-
able Cabinet, and its Reading-Room is furnished with the most im-
portant Periodicals, Foreign and Domestic.

EXPENSES.

The Board and Washing of a Student residing in the Seminary
amount to from eighty to one hundred dollars per annum. The In-
stitution 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 Students in indigent circumstances, $200 per annum being
appropriated for this purpose, if so much is required.

PERKINS PROFESSORSHIP.

During the past year a new Professorship has been founded in this
Institution by the liberality of Hon. John Perkins, of Mississippi,
entitled "The Perkins Professorship of Natural Science in connec-
tion with Revelation," the design of which is to evince the harmony
of Science with the records of our faith, and to refute the objections
of infidel naturalists. For this purpose Judge Perkins has given to
the Seminary the sum of $30,000, since increased by him to $40,000.
He has also given $10,000 to enlarge the foundation for the support
of indigent Students; and has made the Directors of the Seminary
his almoners in another charity of $10,000, to enure to the relief of
Ministers who are superannuated or infirm, and to the distressed
families of those deceased; a fund which he hopes will be increased
by the charities of others. The Students and Ministers of Missis-
sippi and Louisiana are to have the preference in the enjoyment of

CATALOGUE. 27

these last charities. The appointment of the Perkins Professor will
be made at the meeting of the Synod of Georgia in November next.

The Seminary has received a legacy under the will of the late John
Bull, of South Carolina, which 1 * has been long contested and is now
decided in favor of the legatee^. This legacy will probably amount
to ten thousand dollars. '* \

The Institution needs still^fjfrther endowments to give it complete
efficiency. Among its most pressing wants are an additional tenement
for the Students, a new Chapel, and a Library building.

SYNODIC AL RELATIONS.

This Seminary stands now Equally related to the three Synods of
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and is under their joint con-
trol. *

FORM OP BEQUEST.

The Seminary is incorporated by the Legislature of South Carolina,
and the proper form of a bequest would be as follows :

"To the Board of Directors of the Theological Seminary of the
Synod of South Carolina and Georgia, to them and to their successors,

I give and bequeath the sum of , (or, I devise a certain parcel

or tract of land, &c. ; ) to be applied by them to the uses and benefit
of said Seminary."

Testators will do well to have respect to the laws of the State in
which they reside. The State of South Carolina requires that a last
Will and Testament be signed by the testator in the presence of three
witnesses.

The Seminary is pleasantly situated in the thriving city of Co-
lumbia 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 railroads, which are connecting it more and more
with other portions of the South and South-West, and making it easy
of access from any part of the United States.
