There is but one Session in the Seminary year. The year commences on the third Monday in September, and ends with the second Thursday in May. Jlitofei0M. The regular time for admission to the Seminary is*in Septem- ber. 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. Candidates for admission must furnish the Faculty with satisfac- tory testimonials of being in full communion with some Christian Church, and of having been regularly educated at some College or University, or in the absence of such testimonials, must satisfy the Faculty, by examination, that they have made attainments deemed equivalent. Such persons, on assenting to the Consti- tution of the Seminary, are admitted to the enjoyment of all its privileges. CATALOGUE. 11 mmss 0'f llitai^. 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 Chal- dee Scriptures. Various portions of the Historical, Poetical, and Prophetic Books are read, together with the Chaldee parts of Ezra and Daniel. Translations of portions of the New Testament 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 Interpretation, Biblical Criticism, Introduction to the Old and New Testaments. 4. Lectures on the Canon of the Old and New Testaments, on Interpretation, 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 Exegetical exercises three days in the week. II. ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY AND CHURCH POLITY. These branches are taught partly by lectures and partly by text books. 1. The Junior Class is occupied twice every week with Old Tes- tament Church History, the text-book being Kurtz's Manual 12 CATALOGUE. of Sacred History. After finishing that work, they begin Mosheim's Church History. 2. The Middle Class recite also twice every week in Christian Church History. They take up Mosheim wherever they left it as Juniors. Killen's Ancient Church is also a text-book of this year. The Professor constantly supplements these text-books with 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 examination on the text-book. Particular attention is given to the expo- sition of our Form of Government and Book of Discipline. III. SACRED RHETORIC. 1. A Course of Lectures on 13acred Rhetoric is delivered to the Middle Class. The Senior Class is carried through Bautain's Art of Extempore Speaking. 2. Exercises in public speaking, consisting of Original Declama- tion, 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. Wednesday evening is appropriated to Rhetorical Exercises, including Debates, Declamation, and the Delivery of Sermons. IV. NATURAL SCIENCE IN CONNEXION WITH REVEALED RELIGION. In this department, instruction is given exclusively by lec- tures. It embraces the Natural History of the Bible; Geology, Astronomy, and other branches of Natural Science, as far as they have any real or supposed connexion with Revelation ; and also Archceology and Chronology. During the Senior year, the question of the Unity of the Human Race is fully examined. CATALOGUE. 13 V. MENTAL AND MORAL SCIENCE. A brief course in this branch of knowledge belongs to the close of the Junior year. Its chief object is to revive knowledge previously acquired, and to render it certain that the Professor and students will use terms in the same sense during the Theo- logical course. VI. DIDACTIC AND POLEMIC THEOLOGY. In this department each leading topic is introduced to the minds of the classes by one or more lectures. Continual refer- ence is had to the best writers on each topic. One day in the week is set aside for conversation on the matters already gone over, and to the reading of short essays on subjects previously assigned. Proof texts are constantly required on points of Revealed Theology. VII. PASTORAL THEOLOGY. In this department the course is very full, extending over three years. In the Junior Class, instruction is given in experi- mental and practical religion, sometimes called by the old divines Theologia activa.' The Middle Class critically study the Pas- toral Epistles. To the Senior Class, lectures are delivered on the principal matters commonly included in specific instructions on the pastoral oflSce and work. Instruction may be obtained in the city in the French, Ger- man, Italian, and Spanish languages. 14 CATALOGUE. r Thursday evening is occupied by the Professors in familiar conference before the Students, upon personal piety, the best plan and method of study, and kindred topics. suizftiNGS.

Law Hall and Simons Hall were planned especially for the comfort of the Students, are lighted with gas, and supplied with the most neces- sary articles of furniture. ZZ&ftjUBT. The extensive and choice Library of the Rev. Dr. Smyth, of Charleston, has been added to the former Library of the Semi- nary, and our whole collection now embraces 18,117 volumes, besides the private Libraries of Professors. The use of the University 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 possession of a val- uable Cabinet, and its Heading Room is furnished with the most important Periodicals, Foreign and Domestic.

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 support of students who are in need of aid.

The Seminary, formerly related to the three Synods of South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, is now under the control of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. CATALOGUE. 15 Jtmcm isdf fbqmsl The Seminary is incorporated by the Legislature of South Carolina under its original name, 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, etc.,) 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 located in the city of Columbia a place remarkable for health, the capital of the State of South Carolina, the seat of its University and other public Institutions, of easy access by railways, which are connecting it more and more with other portions of the South and Southwest, and making it easy of access from any part of the United States. The next term will begin on Monday, September 19, 1870. b Decatur, Ga. 30031 John Bufow Campbell Gb*ry,> Columbia Theological Seminary hBSUSp Hi wtiemfc. UDBbS mm MM ^5 gflg
