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

The regular time for admission to the Seminary is in September.
It is of the utmost importance that all students should be present

foundation of a course in Theology. Such persons, on assenting to
the Constitution of the Seminary, are admitted to the enjoyment of
all its privileges.

On entering the Seminary, students are required to assent to the
following declaration: ''Deeply impressed with a sense of the im-
portance of improving in knowledge, prudence, and piety, prepara-
tory to the Gospel ministry, I solemnly promise, in reliance on
Divine grace, that I will faithfully and diligently attend to all the
instructions of this Seminary, and that I will conscientiously and
vigilantly observe all the rules and regulations specified in the
Constitution, and also obey all the lawful requisitions, and readily
yield to all the wholesome admonitions of the Professors of the
Seminary, while I shall continue a member of it."

THE OL O GICA L SEMINA RY AT

THE DEPARTMENTS OE INSTRUCTION

OLD TESTAMENT LITERATURE AND EXEGESIS.

General Statement.

The work in this department will be directed to the attainment of
the following ends, viz: First. The thorough mastery of the princi-
ples of Hebrew Etymology and Syntax, as furnishing the only
basis for proficiency in Exegesis. Second. The acquisition of a
copious vocabulary. Third. The formation and cultivation of exe-
getical habits of mind, the acquiring of sound principles of inter-
pretation, and of a knowledge of the several branches of Exegesis.
Fourth. The securing of such familiarity with special introduction
as will give the student an intelligent idea of the historical occasion,
design, and geueral contents of the particular books of Scripture,
and so prepare the way for intelligent Exegesis.

Junior Class.

The aim with this class will be to secure the mastery of the more
common and necessary principles of Hebrew Etymology, of so much
of the Syntax as relates to the verb, and, in addition to this, to
acquire a good working vocabulary. They will use for this purpose
Harper's Hebrew Method and Manual, Elements of Hebrew, and
Elements of Hebrew Syntax; and will be expected to read rapidly
a considerable part of Genesis.

Middle Class.

The class this year will study Exodus. During the greater part of
the session they will be engaged with a close, critical examination of
Chapters I. -VI. The object here will be drill in the application of
the principles of interpretation, special emphasis being laid upon
the principles of grammatical, historical, and logical interpretation.
During the latter part of ihe session, if possible, the class will be
carried over the remainder of the book in a more rapid manner. In
this the object will be the illustration of the principles of Exegesis
as they are related to more extended contexts.

Senior Class.
The attention of the class this year will be engaged with the study
of Messianic Prophecy. They will read with care selected Messianic

COLUMBIA. S. C. 13

Prophecies. This will be followed by a connected view of Messianic
Prophecy as a whole.

There will be occasional lectures on special themes. This class,
and the Middle class also, will be expected to prepare two critical
papers upon subjects assigned them by the professor.

General and Special Introduction.

This class will embrace students in the Middle and Senior years.
Its methods will be shaped with a view to meeting the needs of such
as are taking only an English course, as well as of those who are
taking Hebrew. The topics handled will vary from session to ses-
sion. The aim will be to cover the field of General Introduction,
and, as far as possible, that of Special Introduction, every two
years. Instruction by lecture and text -book.

NEW TESTAMENT LITERATURE AND EXEGESIS.

The aim of the entire course is to lead the student into the habit
of careful, comprehensive, independent study and interpretation of
the New Testament. Constant attention will be given to Word-
study, Synonyms, Phraseology and Peculiarities of Individual
Writers, all points of Historical Interpretation, careful Logical
Analysis, and the Inductive study of different Parts of Syntax, to
determine difference between classical Greek and the New Testa-
ment Idiom, Hebraisms, &c, the effort being to make the study of
the New Testament practical, and not merely theoretical. Special
exercises are required from the student in the form of Oral Lec-
tures, Written Exegeses, Popular Lectures, and Special Studies.

Junior Class.

This class studies the Gospel Harmony, with purpose, in addition
to above, of getting a succinct view of Life of Christ; harmonizing
apparent discrepancies: securing copious vocabulary; and acquiring
habit of careful and accurate translation. One hour a week is given
to the subjects of General Introduction to the New Testament: The
Development of the Idiom, Textual Criticism, Canon. Hermeneu-
tics, and History, of the New Testament; Special Introduction to
the Gospels.

14 THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY AT

Text-books: Robinson's Harmony, Thayer's Lexicon, and S. G.
Green's Hand Book. Students should bring and use their classical
Lexicons and Grammars also. Introduction is taught by lecture.

For those who lack training in classical Greek, a Junior B class is
available. In this the Gospel of John is studied Inductively, with
Harper & Weiduer as a basis.

Middle Class.

This class studies Harmony of the Passion week, and, parallel
with this, the Exegesis and Introduction of the Catholic Epistles, as
many as is practicable. Students are encouraged to do special work
of an original nature on chosen parts of the Xew Testament.

Text-books: Thayer, Winer, Westcott & Hort's Greek Testament,
Revised Version, and Gloag's Introduction to Catholic Epistles.

Senior Class.

This class will study for minute exegesis the Doctrinal portion of
Romans, or Galatians, and, parallel witli this, for broader exegesis,
in the form rather of studies, the shorter Pauline Epistles, together
with the Introduction to the Books studied and the Life and Char-
acter and Literary Characteristics of Paul. Independent original
work is encouraged.

Text-books as before, with Gloag's Introduction to the Pauline

Epistles.

II. ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY AXD CHURCH POLITY.

Junior Class.

Sacred History. From the Creation through the Apostolic period.

This History is studied with reference to the Historic unfolding
of the Redemptive Scheme, as marked in Covenant and Type.
Attention is given to Ancient Geography, Archaeology, and Chro-
nology. Practical lessons are drawn from defections and revivals
in the Ancient Church. In conducting the course, text-books and
lectures are combined.

Text- books: First of all, the Inspired Scriptures; Sacred History
(Kurtz); Manual of Bible History (Blaikie). Books of Reference:
Coleman's Historical Text-book and Atlas, Josephus, Milman, Stan-
ley, Fairbairn, Edwards, and Humphrey, together with Standard
Dictionaries.

COLUMBIA, S. C. 15

Middle Class.

History of the Church. From the Apostolic period to the present
time.

In pursuing this line of study, reference is had to the History of
Doctrine, of Church Polity, of Discipline and Worship. The effects
of Church and State Alliance are noted. In conducting the studies
of the class, text-books are used, accompanied with free comment
and lectures on special topics.

Text-books: Alexander and Fisher. Books of Reference: Mos-
heim, Neauder, Gieseler, Schaff, Hetherington, and D'Aubigne.

Senior Class.

A brief survey of the sources of the elements forming the organ-
ization of the Presbyterian Church in the Uuited States, followed
by the history of the same, using Gillett as a text-book. This is
followed by a course in Church Polity.

Text-books: "History of the Presbyterian Church :" Gillett; "The
Church of Christ:" Banuerman; "The Book of Church Order." Books
of Reference: Cunningham, Thornwell, Hodge, Gillespie, and Rob-
inson.

a course of Lectures by the Professor of Didactic and Polemic
Theology.

cises are required for Criticism by the Teacher.

Senior Class.

The Composition of Sermons is required for Criticism by the
Teacher, during this year.

During the latter part of the year the Sacraments are taught.

The subjects of this part of the Chair are taught by the Professor
of Ecclesiastical History and Church Polity.

S. English Bible.

A special course of instruction in the Exegetical and Homiletical
study of the English Bible is given for all the classes. This course
is arranged specially for the benefit of such students as may uot
have had the advantage of a full course of instruction in the lan-
guages before entering the Seminary, but all the students are re-
quired to avail themselves of the benefit of this course. Due care
will be takeu that this work in the English Bible shall not be re-
garded as a substitute for the regular work in Greek and Hebrew,
nor be allowed to trench upon it. Sections of both Old and New
Testaments, and such subjects in Biblical Literature as do not require
a knowledge of Greek and Hebrew, are studied in this class.

By the Professor of Old Testament Literature and Exegesis, a
course is given in Old Testament Introduction.

By the Professor of New Testament Literature and Exegesis, the
Exposition of the Book of Acts is being pursued during this session,
designed to train the student in analysis and thorough, comprehen-
sive, comparative study of the English Scriptures.

NATURAL SCIENCE IN CONNECTION WITH REVE-

Text- books used when practicable indicated in italics. A few
other works suggested, to encourage independent individual invest-
igation. These and many others are accessible to the students.

''Nothing can be more obvious than that Christianity must be so
understood as to square with the certainties of all known Truth, or

be rejected altogether" (Thomas Chalmers). Provided a communi-
cation, come whence it may, be not contradictory of self-evident
truths, reason is incompetent to prejudge its content, and must look
to the evidence. "The physical sciences rest on hypotheses verified
and uncontradicted' 7 (Huxley); and it is deemed absurd to prejudge
and oppose any hypothesis that, so far as we know, may be true.
Every Bible doctrine which appeals to man's faith is the equivalent
of an hypothesis which seeks verification within the sphere of his
intelligence and religious consciousness. "If any man will do his
will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God." "Prove
all things; hold fast that which is good."

Junior Class.

Apologetics as a branch of Theological study its classical, patristic,
and scriptural sense of vindication and defence, distinguished from
its weakened and inverted modern sense, illustrated by Socrates, by
Paul, by Quadratus, Justin, Tertullian, and others. Christianity,
objectively, a body of truth proximately founded on "The Christ,
the Son of the living God," as prophet, priest and king accordant
with all kuowu truth, and, subjectively, a unique personal religious
experience and life. The exposition of its true nature, and the proof
of its Divine origin naturally come first in order.

relation of faith and knowledge.

the extent the teaching of both bears on the same truths, it is rather
a case of identity than of harmony: Physics, Chemistry and Biology

and prosecuted through the Middle and Senior Years.

Junior Class.
The Junior Class is occupied, once a week, with Introductory
Theology, embracing the Definition of Theology and the Method of
its Distribution, the Relation of Ttieology to Philosophy and
Science, the Source of Theology or the Rule of Faith and Duty, and
the Inspiration of the Scriptures. The text-book used is the first
volume of Hodge's Systematic Theology.

of the following topics: Election and Reprobation, Appointment of
the Mediator and Federal Head, the Covenant of Grace, Qualifica-
tions of the Mediator, the Person of Christ, the Mediatorial Offices,

The text books of the Middle* and Senior Classes are the first vol-
ume of Thornwell's Collected Writings, and the three volumes of
Hodge's Systematic Theology. Along with the study of text-books,
lectures, written and unwritten, are freely employed. The students
are required to submit, at all meetings of the classes, digested state-
ments, in writing, of what had been gone over in preceding exercises.
Constant reference is made to the Westminster Standards.

20 THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY AT

EXAMINATIONS.

At the close of each session, oral and written examinations are held
upon all the subjects studied during the year. The results of the
written examinations are submitted to the Board for its inspection,
and the oral are held in the presence of the Board. "No member of
the Seminary shall be absent from the examination of his class; and,
in case of the absence of any student, he shall be examined by the
Faculty at the commencement of the next term; and if his examina-
tion be not satisfactory, he shall be required to make up the defi-
ciency, otherwise he may not proceed with the class." Constitution.

REPORTS TO PEESBYTERIES.

Reports are sent semi-annually to Presbyteries of the attendance
of the students under their care upon the exercises of the Seminary,
aud of their general deportment and diligence in study.

ELOCUTION.

There is a special fuud, the proceeds of which are used to provide
for instruction in Elocution by a proficient teacher. Lectures, with
drill in voice culture, expression, and gesture, and exercises in
reading, are pursued under the instructor in this department.

RHETORICAL EXERCISES.

In addition to the regular instruction in Sacred Rhetoric and
Elocution, exercises in Oratory and Debate are held under the
direction of the Faculty.

Once a fortnight, original speeches of about fifteen minutes in
length are delivered in the presence of the Faculty and students.
Criticism is invited from all present, the jmrpose of which is to
remove blemishes of matter, mariner, and style. Usually three stu-
dents speak at each meeting.

Once a fortnight, also, a debate ux>on some subject chosen by the
students is held, the aim of which is to cultivate freedom and readi-
ness of speech in the students. The Faculty is represented by the
officer of the week, who presides, and, should it be necessary, cor-
rects errors of doctrine or of morals in the arguments advanced.

THE OLO GICA L SEMLVA RY AT

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

HISTORICAL.

The Seminary was founded in 1829, by the Synods of South Car-
olina and Georgia. Classes were first organized in 1831, with Dr.
Goulding and Dr. Howe as professors. In 1833 Dr. Lelaud became
connected with the Seminary, but Dr. Goulding died in 1834. so
that only two professors remained to conduct the classes. For
several years no additions were made to the staff, yet many efficient
ministers were educated during that period. In 1860 there were
five able professors, of whom Dr. Thornwell was one, and fifty
students in the Institution. From 1866 to the present time, the
work of the Semiuary has been carried on with various changes
aud some interruptions. There are now five regular professors, a
tutor in Biblical Literature, and a teacher of elocution. The
resources of the Seminary are fairly good, but not by any meaus
adequate. Additional endowments, a new chapel and a Library
building, are urgently needed to put the Seminary in a position to
do effective work.

LOCATION.

The Seminary is situated in the city of Columbia, the capital of
South Carolina, the seat of the State College and other educational and
public institutions. Columbia has a population of about 17,000, is
noted for the beauty of its site, its broad and well shaded streets, its
quiet and refined society, and its remarkable health fulness, especially
its freedom from malaria. The climate is deemed very favorable to
those suffering from bronchial and pulmonary troubles. It is the
centre of several railroads, and is easily accessible from any part of
the United States.

BUILDINGS.

These are neat aud commodious, occupying a square of four acres
near the centre of the city. The central building is used for the
Library and for recitations. Law Hall and Simons Hall are planned
especially for the comfort of the students. The rooms are large,
well lighted and ventilated. Recently they were all repainted and
calcimined, and coal grates were put in many of the rooms. Each
student is supplied with bedstead, bedding, towels, washstand, tables,
chairs, and book shelves. During the past two years, nearly all of
the rooms have been entirely refurnished at an outlay of about forty-
five dollars each. A complete suit of oak and ash furniture, consist-
ing of a large single bed, a dressing bureau, a closed washstand, table
and chairs, has been placed in each room. Each room has also had
its floor neatly covered with a large carpet rug. This important
improvement has been effected by special contributions made for
the purpose, and it renders the students' quarters exceedingly com-
fortable. The following is a list of those who have given aid in the
refurnishing during the past year:

Ladies of Cold Spring Church (Tennessee) $40 00

Friends in Lexington, Va 15 00

* Deceased.

COLUMBIA, S. C.

Ladies of Richland Church (S.C.) 40 00

Friends in Grand Avenue Church (St. Lonis) 45 00

Ladies of First Church (New Orleans)..., 45 00

Mrs. F. S. Rogers (Charleston, S. C.) 45 00

Mr. J. Davis (St, Lonis) 40 00

A friend in the Second Church (St, Louis) 20 00

Ladies of Rock Spring Church (Ga.) 45 00

Several other churches have promised to give aid to the furnish-
ing fund, and additional contributions are needed to complete the
work.

The Library and Class Rooms, as well as the students' rooms, have
been repainted and thoroughly renovated, so that they are now
exceedingly inviting and comfortable.

LIBRARY.

The Library of the Seminary embraces duplicates excluded
about twenty thousand volumes. The choice aud extensive library
of the Rev. Thomas Smyth, D. D., of Charleston, was added some
years ago, and, more recently, large parts of the libraries of the Rev.
John Douglass, Prof. George Howe, D. D., and S. Beach Jones, D. D.
Besides this, the private libraries of the Professors, a collection of
seven thousand volumes, are accessible to the students, and the use
of the University library is also extended, by courtesy, to the
instructors of the Seminary a collection of great value, amounting
to more than twenty-five thousand volumes.

A library fund, which has been accumulating, now amounts to
$10,000, part of the income of which is appropriated to the increase
of the library. The opportunity thus exists for furnishing it, to a
limited extent, with recent publications and current periodicals,
American and European.

The Society of Inquiry concerning Missions possesses a valuable
^Cabinet, and its reading room is supplied with a variety of religious
newspapers.

A fire-proof building is greatly needed for the safety of the Semi-
nary Library.

Donations to the Library of money and of books and periodicals,
especially such as have been published during the last quarter of a
century, are solicited.

The following donations have been made to the students this year:
Sixty-six copies of Unsettled Questions. By Rev. J. M. P. Otts,
D. D., Magnolia Hall, Ala, From the author.

THE OL O GICA L SEM1NA RY AT

Forty-six copies of The Religious of the World. By the Rev. David
James Burwell, D. D. From the Presbyterian Board of Pub-
lication, Philadelphia, Pa.

RELIGIOUS EXERCISES.

Daily prayers, which every student is required to attend, are con-
ducted in the morning by a member of the Senior Class, and in the
afternoon by one of the Professors.

Wednesday afternoon is occupied by the Professors in a Confer-
ence before the students upon personal piety, the best plan and
method of study, and kindred topics; the students taking part in
the devotional exercises.

On Saturday evening a devotional service is held by the students.

The Society of Inquiry concerning Missions holds one meeting
monthly, and is very useful in creating interest in foreigu missions,
and gathering information touching the history and present condition
of this work.

Opportunities for various kinds of Christian work are afforded,
and practical training can thereby be secured by the students. Care
is taken that this shall not interfere with regular study. Usually
the students, except those in the Senior Class, are not allowed to
preach more than twice a month, and then only when it will not
interfere with attendance upon the classes of the Seminary.

EXPENSES.

Xo charge is made for Room-rent, Tuition, or use of Library, nor
are there Fees of any kind.

A Boarding Hall in connection with the Institution is kept up, at
which suitable board is had for about teu dollars per calendar month.
The Matron, Mrs. McCormick, has charge of the hall, and of the
linen and furniture of the students' rooms. The Seminary provides
the buildings, kitchen utensils, table-ware, etc. Donations for the
>f the hall will be gladly received. Several churches and
friends ?>ent in useful gifts during the session.

Washing can be had afc one dollar per month. Books are purchased
at actual cost, by a special arrangement which the Seminary makes,
and many of the text-books can be obtained from the Library.

Traveling expenses of students, upon first entering the Seminary,
are paid when necessary; and further assistance is given to students
from scholarships, and from a fund called the Students' Fund, so far
as it will allow.

COLUMBIA. S. C. 21

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

An Association of the Alumni of the Seminary has been formed,
with the purpose of preserving and strengthening the ties of fellow-
ship, and advancing theological study. The officers elected at the
last meeting were: J. L. Girardeau, D. D., President; Kev. Thos. H.
Law, Secretary; and Win. E. Boggs, D. D., Treasurer.

FORM OF BEQUEST.

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 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.

N. B.---The Next Term will begin on Wednesday, Septem-
ber 19th, 1894.
