HISTORY

On December 15, 1828, the Synod of South Carolina and Georgia, rep-
resenting Presbyterianism from North Carolina to the Mississippi, inaug-
urated this institution by electing the Rev. Thomas Goulding, D.D., as its
first professor. For two years Dr. Goulding conducted the work in the
Presbyterian manse at Lexington, Georgia.

In 1830 the Seminary was moved to Columbia, South Carolina, and the
faculty complemented by the election of Dr. George Howe and Dr. Aaron
W. Leland. Located in the center of South Carolina's capital, the Columbia
campus was most attractive. The old chapel there was particularly interesting
by reason of its history as well as its origin. Used originally as the carriage
house of a Southern gentleman, this little building was later dedicated to a
sacred purpose. It is remembered as the place where Woodrow Wilson was
"reborn for eternity" and where the Presbyterian, U.S. Book of Church
Order was written. There, also the first classes of Winthrop College, now
located at Rock Hill, South Carolina, were held.

Early in the Twentieth Century a strong conviction developed in the
Columbia territory that a re-location of the institution was necessary. At the
time of the location in Columbia that city was near the center of the Pres-
byterian population of the Southeast. The development of the Gulf States
and the shifting of the center of our constituency made it wise to move the
Seminary farther to the West in order to accomplish the original purpose
for which the institution was founded, namely: "To light up another sun
which shall throw farther West the light of the Gospel."

In the fall of 1924 the controlling Synods of Alabama, Florida, Georgia
and South Carolina, on recommendation of the Board of Directors, decided
to move the Seminary to Atlanta. Immediately following this decision the
Synod of Mississippi accepted the invitation of her sister synods to unite in
the ownership and control of the Seminary.

Atlanta Presbyterians provided a fifty-seven acre campus upon the hills
of Decatur. During the presidency of Dr. R. T. Gillespie two theological
buildings and four faculty homes were erected. A library, an additional
wing to the administration building, a student center, four apartment dormi-
tories, and thirteen faculty homes have been added in recent years.

Atlanta and the suburban community of Decatur have grown rapidly in
recent years. Decatur is now a city of over 22,000 and Greater Atlanta's
population exceeds a million.

LOCATION

Atlanta today is the largest city in the Southeast, the industrial center
and transportation hub of the whole South. During a portion of each day
its air terminal is the busiest in the world. Being located in this thriving
metropolis is of great advantage to the students of Columbia Seminary. Not
only are cultural and recreational activities readily available, but there are
also a wide variety of sources of employment for student wives.

Atlanta has its own 80-piece symphony orchestra which presents more
than 50 concerts during its season. There is also a community orchestra and
chorus. Seasons of grand and light opera, popular concerts, and artist's-
series are held throughout the year. In the summer, musical productions
are given by the Theatre Under The Stars Company at Chastain Memorial
Amphitheatre. The Metropolitan Opera Company visits Atlanta annually for
a week of performances. There are community theatre groups with resident
directors and also three community ballet groups. Experimental drama
groups and small art galleries abound. The Atlanta Art Association galleries
are among the finest in the South. They house a large collection of their
own, offer lectures and concerts, have an art school and play host to many
traveling exhibitions.

Atlanta is also a center of activity and growth for the Presbyterian
Church. Atlanta Presbytery is the largest in the General Assembly. The
Presbyterian Center located here is the home of the Boards of Women's
Work, Church Extension, and Annuities and Relief, the General Council,
the Presbyterian Survey, the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly, the
Assembly's Committee on the Minister and His Work, and a branch of the
Presbyterian Book Store. The regional office of the National Council of
Churches and the Protestant Radio and Television Center are also in Atlanta.

Atlanta is an educational center. The Greater University Center, includ-
ing Emory University, Agnes Scott College, Georgia Tech, The University
of Georgia, Oglethorpe University, Georgia State College, the Atlanta Art
Association and Columbia Seminary is a significant cooperative venture in
the field of higher education. Students and professors share in the use of
the library facilities of each of these institutions with the help of a union
card catalogue. Students in one institution are permitted to take courses in
member institutions. Distinguished lecturers are provided by the University
Center each year. The school systems of the area provide elementary and
secondary education for over a quarter of a million students, and teaching
positions for many wives of seminary students.

Atlanta's climate adds to the advantages of the area. The second highest
major city in the United States, Atlanta's topography is responsible for a
favorable climate of moderate summers and mild winters. Numerous lakes,
mountains and natural scenic attractions add to the beauty of the section.

INDEPENDENT STUDY

The faculty of Columbia Seminary is concerned to give more latitude to
exceptional students who have shown unusual proficiency in advanced work
in religious or Biblical studies at the college level. Provision is made, there-
fore, for such students to pursue a more flexible schedule of study in lieu
of normal requirements. Students interested in this program of independent
study should consult with the Dean of Instruction, and the Dean, with the
Department concerned, will provide a method of testing so as to ascertain
the student's qualifications for independent study. Upon successfully satis-
fying the requirements for independent study, the student will then be per-
mitted to enter upon his special work under the guidance of the Professor
concerned and will be expected to pass an examination, or to present a
suitable research paper at the end of the quarter. This latitude applies to
exceptional students in all courses of instruction.

THE HONORS PROGRAM

In order to provide qualified students in their senior year with an op-
portunity for independent and intensive study in one field, the Honors Pro-
gram is open to students who have an over-all B+ average and who have
demonstrated superior abilities in the field of their interest. Honors studies
are open in any of the departments of the curriculum with the consent of
the supervising professor or professors and the approval of the department.
A student who participates in the Honors Program must maintain a B+
average both in the required and Honors courses. At the close of the year
he is expected to stand an examination upon his entire Honors work. The
student will be excused from certain required work. He will receive 10 hours
credit each quarter for his Honors studies.

THE CHOIR

The Seminary Choir has gained recognition throughout the Southeast by
its annual visits to churches in the supporting synods, its services for the
Columbia Friendship Circle Pilgrimage, and its recordings. It assists from
time to time with the worship services of the campus community. Member-
ship in it provides valuable training for our students. Dr. Hubert Vance
Taylor, the director, was for many years the director of music for the
Protestant Radio and Television Center where he prepared broadcasts for
the Protestant Hour, the National Radio Pulpit, and the Upper Room Radio
Parish. For more than twenty years he was Minister of Music, Central
Presbyterian Church, Atlanta.

WIVES' CLUB

This club is patterned after the Women of the Church with the purpose
of providing spiritual development and Christian fellowship. Membership
includes the wives of Seminary students, faculty and staff. Single girls and
wives of missionaries are invited as honorary members. General meetings
and circle Bible studies are held monthly. In addition, each quarter a faculty
member offers an evening course for wives.

18

THEOLOGICAL INTERNSHIPS

Qualified students may take a theological internship of from nine to
fifteen months between their second and third years at the Seminary. This
period of off-campus study and practical experience is under both faculty
direction and local supervision. Though not a required part of the curricu-
lum, the faculty encourages students to take advantage of internships as a
means to further relate theological studies to the life and work of the church,
to gain a more objective appraisal of themselves and their need for further
study, and to gain skills which may not be attained through classroom work.
A specified program of reading is planned with a member of the faculty
before the internship begins, and periodic reports by both the intern and
his supervisor are required.

Inquiries concerning theological internships should be addressed to the
Director of Field Education.

SOCIETY FOR THEOLOGICAL SCHOLARSHIP

A student society "for the purpose of encouraging in every student the
highest possible scholarship in all departments of instruction." Membership
is open to all students and faculty on a voluntary basis. Lectures, informal
discussions with visiting lecturers, symposia by members of the faculty and
other meetings are sponsored in the interest of Christian scholarship.

SOCIETY OF MISSIONARY INQUIRY

The Society was founded in 1832 and has been an instrument through
the years to promote an active interest in world missions among the student
body and throughout the Church. It annually conducts one of the largest
missions conferences for youth in the nation. The Society regularly brings
outstanding speakers before the student body. The program of the Society
has helped Columbia Seminary provide a large number of world missionaries.

NEGEV ARCHAEOLOGICAL SEMINAR

Columbia Seminary is associated with the Institute for Mediterranean
Studies which is sponsoring the Negev Archaeological Seminar in conjunc-
tion with its excavations in Palestine. Students who participate in this Semi-
nar will spend eight weeks in the Middle East taking courses in Palestinian
Archaeology, Historical Geography and Classical Hebrew. The program in-
cludes three weeks of acual digging at an ancient site in Palestine. Students
will be given academic credit provided they successfully complete the course
program and submit the necessary transcript. Scholarship aid may be granted.
For further details contact Professor James H. Gailey, Jr.

THE COUNCIL FOR
CLINICAL TRAINING, INC.

Columbia Theological Seminary is a member of the Council for Clinical
Training. Clinical pastoral training is a first hand learning experience under
accredited supervision which provides theological students and pastors with
opportunities for intensive study of pastoral relationships, and which seeks
to make clear in understanding and practice the resources, methods and
meanings of the Christian faith as expressed through pastoral care. There
are over fifty accredited training centers throughout the country. Columbia's
membership in the Council means that students enrolled in this seminary
will be given priority of choice in institutions elected and reduction of train-
ing fees.

GEORGIA ASSOCIATION FOR
PASTORAL CARE, INC.

Columbia has taken major initiative in the organization of the Georgia
Association for Pastoral Care, Inc. The incorporating institutions in addition
to Columbia are the Candler School of Theology of Emory University,
Emory University Medical School, the Interdenominational Theological
Center, and the Greater Atlanta Council of Churches. The purposes of this
Association are for pastoral service and training with the conviction that
the best possible service affords the most adequate training for theological
students. The major areas of training for elective courses are at Grady
Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Emory University Hospital, Georgia Baptist
Hospital, Milledgeville State Hospital, Fulton County Child Guidance Clinic,
Adamsville Training School for Girls, the Georgian Clinic, Highview Nurs-
ing Home and DeKalb General Hospial. A number of other institutions
are currently negotiating with the Association for service-training programs.
The Association is an affiliate of The Council for Clinical Training, Inc.

ACADEMIC AWARDS

THE FANNIE JORDAN BRYAN FELLOWSHIPS

Established by the will of the late Mrs. Fannie Jordan Bryan of Colum-
bia, South Carolina, to promote interest in scholarship among students and
to provide better trained leaders for the Church. Stipends make possible a
year of graduate studies in seminaries and universities in America and
abroad.

THE ALUMNI FELLOWSHIP FUND

Established by the Senior Class of 1941 and supported by the Alumni
Association to promote the welfare of their Alma Mater and of the Church.
Two fellowships are usually awarded annually.

THE ANNA CHURCH WHITNER MEMORIAL FELLOWSHIP

Established in 1928 by the late William C. Whitner, LL.D., of Rock Hill,
South Carolina, in memory of his mother, an earnest, consecrated and de-
voted Christian. Seven Whitner fellows have been able to pursue advanced
studies in American and European universities.

INDIANTOWN CHURCH AWARD

Established by the Indiantown Presbyterian Church in Hemingway,
South Carolina, to encourage interest in and promote the development of
Country Church work. In explaining the motive for their action, the donors
have written: "This award is made available with the hope and prayer that
more of our worthy young men may catch a vision of the possibilities of
the Country Church, and dedicate the ministry of their lives to rural areas."

This prize is awarded annually to the member of the senior class who
makes the most outstanding record of work in a rural church or field during
the summer months between his second and third years in the institution.

JAMES ROBERTSON HOWERTON AWARD

Dr. J. R. Howerton was one of the ablest and most useful of the Colum-
bia alumni. He served as pastor of some of our strongest churches, taught at
Stillman and later at Washington and Lee, established Montreat, and pub-
lished two very thoughtful books. Columbia is happy to have his name and
influence commemorated in a cash award to the student writing the best

1964 Graduation Exercises.

It should be kept in mind that Columbia is a graduate school; that stu-
dents at Columbia are faced with disciplines involving research, exploration,
self-examination, intellectual struggle and growth, and that the inspiration
often experienced and enjoyed at summer conferences, Sunday Schools,
young people's meetings and other such experiences may not always be
found in this process. To the contrary, students at Columbia in their strug-
gle for knowledgeable competence often become discouraged and impatient
as do students in any other fields of graduate study. It is the feeling of
the administration and faculty that conviction should grow out of honest
examination of the facts in all areas of human experience and that God is
more effectively served by those men who apply themselves to the task
at hand with diligence and integrity. Intellectual attainments should go
hand in hand with spiritual growth as a preparation for the ministry.

The Seminary reserves the right to change rules and regulations af-
fecting its student body or the granting of its degree at any time that this
may appear necessary to the Faculty and Board of Directors. Such changes
will go into effect whenever the proper authorities may determine, and
may apply not only to prospective students but also to any who may, at
such time, be matriculated in the Seminary. The Seminary further reserves
the right to withdraw courses and to make necessary changes in the
schedule at any time.

COLLEGE PREPARATION

Admission to Columbia Seminary requires a four year degree from an
accredited university or college of arts and sciences or its equivalent which
should involve completion of at least the proposed minimum pre-seminary
work as listed below. Students without four years of pre-seminary prepara-
tion are not eligible to earn degrees at the Seminary and are not encouraged
to apply for admission.

English 6 semesters Psychology 1 semester

Philosophy 3 semesters Foreign Language 4 semesters

Bible or Religion 2 semesters Natural Science 2 semesters

History 3 semesters Social Science 2 semesters

Columbia Seminary expects all entering students to have a sound knowl-
edge of basic Greek grammar. For those students who are not prepared in
Greek grammar the Seminary offers non-credit courses in its Summer Lan-
guage School.

The foregoing statement is in line with recommendations made by the
American Association of Theological Schools and is published here at the
request of the General Assembly of our Church, which has approved it. The
suggestions included should be carefully studied by all candidates for the
ministry who have not completed their college training.

24

ADMISSION

Application for Admission

Students desiring admission to Columbia Seminary should file with the
Dean of Students the following:

1. An application for admission upon a form furnished upon request,
accompanied by a registration fee of $10.00.

2. A letter from endorsing agencies in his church authorizing him to
enter Columbia Seminary.

3. A health certificate on a form prescribed by the Seminary.

4. Letters of reference as requested.

5. Official transcripts of record at all institutions of higher education
attended.

Pledge

In addition to meeting the foregoing qualifications for admission to the
Seminary, the Board of Directors requires each student to subscribe to the
following declaration:

"Deeply impressed with a sense of the importance of improving in
knowledge, prudence and piety, in my preparation for the Gospel ministry,
I solemnly promise, in a reliance on divine grace, that I will faithfully and
diligently attend on all the instructions of this Seminary, and that I will
conscientiously and vigilantly observe all the rules and regulations speci-
fied in the plan for its instruction and government, so far as the same re-
lates to the students; and that I will obey all the lawful requisitions, and
readily yield to all the wholesome admonitions of the professors and direc-
tors of the Seminary while I shall continue a member of it."

Transfer

Students in good standing in other accredited seminaries may be ad-
mitted after transcripts have been evaluated and their applications approved
by the Admissions Committee. Ordinarily more than one year in residence
is required for graduation.

25

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

Columbia believes that everything possible should be done to help new
students make a quick and easy adjustment to theological study, and to help
them adopt sound methods of study as early as possible. With this purpose
in view, an orientation program has been arranged and is required of all
new students during the days preceding the regular opening of the Seminary
in the fall. This, program is without extra expense to the students except
for an appropriate charge for board.

Columbia's program includes the following elements:

1. An opportunity for new students to get acquainted with one another and
with student body leaders and members of the Faculty before the "rush"
of routine work starts;

2. Instruction concerning the use of a theological library as a means of
saving time and effort later;

3. Suggestions regarding the most effective methods of approach to theo-
logical studies;

4. A battery of psychological and achievement tests similar to those used
in other educational institutions and designed to help students meet par-
ticular deficiencies of preparation and personality adjustment;

5. Periods of worship and inspiration designed to set the tone of work in
the Seminary upon a high spiritual plane.

JOHN BULOW CAMPBELL LIBRARY

The Library seeks to function as an integrated part of the teaching work
of the Seminary. Its purpose is to develop a collection of books and a pro-
gram of services that will extend the work of the classroom in breadth and
depth, provide adequately for student and faculty research, and stimulate
reading beyond course requirements.

The Library is housed in an air-conditioned Gothic building. Its book
collection numbers more than 68,000 volumes and is increasing at a rate of
approximately 3,000 volumes per year. It includes a well-balanced selection
of older critical works and commentaries along with more modern critical
and exegetical works. Important Reformation sources are well represented;
the collection includes the Calvin and Melanchthon sections of Corpus Ref-
ormatorum, the Weimar edition of Luther's works, and the Vienna and
Berlin Corpuses. Complete files of many important scholarly journals are
available. The Susan V. Russell Tape Collection of some 500 sermons, lec-
tures, and worship services is an important aid in homiletics and speech
courses.

26

FIELD EDUCATION

Wide opportunity is available for numerous kinds of field education.
Students, if approved by the Field Education Department, may work in a
paid status in order to help meet personal expenses. Students are ordinarily
required to engage in field education during at least one summer in order
to qualify for graduation. The Field Education Department is responsible
for placing and supervising students in their field education situations while
at the Seminary.

Columbia Theological Seminary earnestly desires to give to its students
the best possible theological education. It is not satisfied to see a young man
merely get a degree. Both the church and the student deserve more. In seek-
ing to carry out its responsibility to the future ministers of the church the
seminary schedules classes Tuesday through Saturday with some electives
being offered on Monday and on certain nights each week. The Seminary
realizes, however, that its responsibility goes beyond the classroom, and it
constantly seeks to maintain contact with the student in his preaching and
pastoral assignments so as to correlate this field education with classroom
instruction.

The faculty has observed in the past that regular students who attempt to
preach every Sunday have neither time nor strength to give their best to the
required class work. Consequently, both the academic work of the student
and the work of the church being served suffer. The faculty is conscious of
the financial struggle faced by many students with families. It usually ap-
pears to these families that one solution is for the husband to preach every
Sunday, but generally if the husband does this he is denying himself the
training which he so urgently needs and which the church has every right
to expect for his future ministry.

To meet this financial situation the Seminary is seeking to increase schol-
arship aid so that the student may give more time to his primary responsi-
bility. To assure the student of this needed time for study the faculty has
adopted the following field education policy.

1. Any student who lives off campus in a manse, or who is preaching
in the same church every Sunday, will be required to spread his
academic work over a period of more than nine quarters.

2. Ordinarily no student except one who is on the above schedule will
be permitted to preach more than two Sundays per month, except at
the discretion of the Director of Field Education. (No student should
have to prepare more than two sermons each month or to do regular
pastoral work and at the same time be faithful to the normal demands
of the regular Seminary curriculum.) Where there are cases of real
need, the Director of Field Education will try to provide a fuller
schedule of preaching by using the student in more than one church
so that the burden of sermon preparation will be lessened.

27

normally offered to the student body or they may purchase insurance
through other sources.

Each student is required to pay any fees incurred in connection with
clinical training.

All graduating students will be required to pay a Diploma Fee of $7.50.

The amount of money needed for books, travel, recreation and incidental

Presbyterian Book Store is operated on campus and students receive dis-
counts on purchases made there.

HOUSING

Unmarried Students

Dormitory housing is available for unmarried students. Most of the
rooms are for double occupancy, many of them have connecting baths. All
rooms are fully furnished with the exception of linens. Laundry facilities are
provided. All students living in the dormitories are expected to eat in the
Seminary dining hall.

28

Married Students Without Children

Suites of two rooms with private bath are available for married students
without children. These suites are fully furnished with the exception of
linens. Laundry facilities are provided. There are no facilities for cooking.
The rent for these suites is $80.00 per quarter. Wives of students living in
these suites are expected to eat in the Seminary dining hall. The charge for
the evening meal weekdays and Saturday dinner is $57.75 plus $1.74 Geor-
gia Sales Tax per quarter.

Married Students With Children

One, two and three bedroom apartments, furnished and unfurnished,
are available for married students with children. The rent for these apart-
ments is from $44 to $64 per month depending on the size of the apartment.
Applications for apartments should be made as early as possible.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Scholarships

A number of scholarships are available, the amount granted to be deter-
mined by consideration of other available resources and the quality of work
done by the student. Application should be addressed to the President of
the Seminary. Scholarships are credited to the student in equal quarterly
installments.

Recipients are ordinarily expected to work for the Seminary, usually in
the library, dining hall or on the grounds.

Scholarships are not available for ordained ministers doing graduate
work.

Loans To Candidates

Loans up to but not to exceed $200.00 a year are provided by the
General Assembly's Board of Christian Education when actually needed.
Payments of this loan are in two installments: one in November and one in
February. Application is to be made through the Chairman of the Com-
mittee on Ministerial Candidates in the student's home presbytery.

Once a need is established, the Seminary may also assist with loans
from its own funds. It should be noted by the student that both need and
satisfactory academic progress are required for a loan and that, in every
case, satisfactory plans have to be made for repayment of loans.

Field Education

Middlers and Seniors may expect to receive some renumeration for
supply preaching which is a part of their Field Education program.

Veterans Benefits

Columbia Theological Seminary is one of the institutions approved by
the government as a place of study for veterans receiving educational bene-
fits under Public Laws 16, 346, 550 (Korean War Veterans), and 634.

29

GRADING SYSTEM

At the close of each quarter, grades are sent to all students and their
presbyteries.

A, (excellent) is the highest grade given; it is reserved for those students
whose work is of a markedly superior quality.

B, (good) is the grade given for work which, while not notably superior,
is clearly above the average.

C, (satisfactory) is the grade given for satisfactory work of the average
student.

D, (inferior) is the grade given for work which, while not altogether
satisfactory, is good enough to entitle the student to credit for the course.

E, (conditioned) is the grade given those students whose work is not
good enough to entitle them to credit for the course, but to whom the in-
structor is willing to allow a re-examination after additional study; on such
re-examination no grade other than D or F can be given.

F, (failure) is the grade given for failure and indicates that no credit
can be had except by repeating the course.

Quality Points will be given as follows: A, 3 quality points per hour; B+,
2.5 quality points per hour; B, 2 quality points per hour; C+, 1.5 quality
points per hour; C, 1 quality point per hour; D+, 0.5 quality points per
hour; D, quality points per hour; F, minus 1 quality point per hour.

Any student who fails to make a C average in any quarter except the
first quarter of his junior year will be placed on probation for the next
quarter, and if he fails to bring his average up during that quarter, he will
be dropped as a student. In the event that the student's overall average is
C or better, he will be permitted to remain as a student for another quarter
on provation.

A student who fails to complete satisfactorily all of his academic work,
or otherwise prove himself a worthy candidate, will not be eligible for
scholarship aid during the following quarter unless special providential cir-
cumstances lead the faculty to make an exception in his case.

DISTINCTIONS

Students who have secured an aggregate of 427 quality points in the
145 hours of work required for the B.D. degree graduate "Summa Cum
Laude." The distinction of "Magna Cum Laude" is awarded to those who
have earned 405 quality points; and those who have 375 quality points are
graduated "Cum Laude." In each of these cases the appropriate distinction
is recorded upon the student's diploma.

These academic honors are subject to revision or forfeiture if the stu-
dent's field education is plainly unsatisfactory in the judgment of the faculty.

30

THE SCHEDULE

Columbia operates on the Quarter System. Each quarter consists of
approximately ten weeks for classes and one week for examinations. Co-
lumbia ordinarily gives work only during the fall, winter, and spring quar-
ters. Students may enter at the beginning of any quarter, though the work
can be better correlated if they enter at the beginning of the fall quarter.

The simple unit of credit, the quarter hour, makes it easy for credits
from Columbia to be transferred to other graduate schools. Columbia's work
is accepted at full credit by leading graduate schools throughout the world
as a basis for advanced theological study.

Each student normally takes from 15 to 17 hours' work per quarter.
Approximately 15% of the hours for graduation may be in elective courses,
so that all students have an opportunity to specialize in some field of their
choice. Middlers and seniors who have made an average of B may supple-
ment required work by taking added electives up to a total of 18 hours.

Most elective courses are offered in units of two or three hours. Elec-
tives are so scheduled as to avoid conflicts when practicable, and to offer
the widest possible range of choice. Some electives are given only in alternate
years and are so indicated; the expression "odd years" means scholastic
years beginning in September of odd years, such as the term 1965-66. Other
electives are not placed in regular rotation, but are given only by arrange-
ments between students and professors.

EXAMINATIONS

At the close of each quarter written examinations are held on the sub-
jects studied during the quarter. In certain instances the professors may
require a term paper or papers in lieu of an examination.

Comprehensive examinations are also required of all students including
transfers, in the field of Church History, English Bible and Theology.

SUMMER READING PROGRAM

The faculty not only desires that students become competent in the
practical daily working of the Church, but also seeks to aid students in
learning to read and study in the midst of a busy parish program. In addi-
tion the faculty is concerned that Columbia students broaden their perspec-
tives and fields of learning. Therefore each student is required to read an
assigned number of books during the summer between his junior and mid-
dler years and between his middler and senior years. The list of books is
drawn up by the faculty and a report on the reading is required at the open-
ing of the new school year.

ON THE

THOMAS SMYTH FOUNDATION

Through a generous bequest of Rev. Thomas Smyth, D.D., who was for
years the pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Charleston, South
Carolina, a lectureship bearing the name of its founder was established at
Columbia Seminary in 1911. In accordance with the conditions of the be-
quest, some person of worthy character and distinguished for learning and
ability is chosen each year by the Board and Faculty to deliver a course of
lectures on the fundamental principles of the Christian faith or on the prac-
tical tasks of the Church.

The funds bequeathed by Dr. Smyth to found this lectureship amount to
$10,000, and the interest on this amount each year is used in providing for
the delivery of the lectures. For fifty years distinguished scholars and min-
isters have treated a large variety of themes: doctrinal, critical, practical,
archaelogical and historical.

32

SUMMER LANGUAGE SCHOOL

July 13 through August 28, 1965

The faculty requires that all students complete their Greek grammar
courses prior to the beginning of their middler year, and only in the most
unusual cases will a student be allowed to take grammar courses in both
Greek and Hebrew at the same time. Therefore those students who have
not taken grammar courses in Greek or Hebrew in college should plan to
attend a Summer Language School.

The work in both Hebrew and Greek will be of an intensive nature. The
classes will meet for two hours a day six days a week. The study of one
language will occupy the full time of the student. The summer classes cover
in this intensive way the material that is normally covered in a full year.

The courses offered are described in this catalogue as New Testament
126 and 127 and Old Testament 101 and 102. Students who have not had
Greek in college may appropriately take either Greek or Hebrew.

Application for the Summer Language School should be made to the
Dean of Students and a preference for either Greek or Hebrew should be
indicated. The tuition for the School is $90.

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS

A Board of Student Publications, selected from the student body, provides
an opportunity for written discussion of important issues. The publications
staff publishes the semi-weekly VIEWPOINT on a variety of subjects and
the COLUMBIA FORUM on key theological questions. Both students and
faculty are encouraged to contribute to these publications.

STUDENT RECREATION

Columbia Seminary encourages its students to take advantage of the
recreational facilities provided on campus and in the surrounding communi-
ty. Three all-weather tennis courts, a volley ball court and an athletic field
are a part of the campus. Recreation lounges are provided in the Student
Center and local golf courses are easily accessible. Both intra-mural and
individual competition is conducted in various recreational activities.

SERVICE AND
STEWARDSHIP

1964 Alumni Luncheon

CONTINUING EDUCATION

Each quarter twelve ministers are invited to participate in a two week
period of independent study in the Seminary library under the direction of
the faculty. The individual study of these men is supplemented by seminars
led by the faculty and designed to bring the men up to date on developments
and books in the various fields of theological study. In addition to this pro-
gram of individual study, special periods of study on a particular subject
with seminars and lectures on that subject supplementing individual study
are also held from time to time.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

The program of the Alumni Association is directed by the Alumni
Council which is composed of executive officers elected by the Association
and an appointed representative from each Synod in the General Assembly.
The annual meeting of the Association is one of the principal events of
Ministers' Week each fall. In addition, local meetings are planned for synods
and presbyteries during the year.

Since 1940 the Association has supported the Alumni Fellowship Fund
enabling 51 graduates to be named Alumni Fellows and assisting financially
with their post-graduate study. A current project of the Association is the
endowment of the James McDowell Richards Chair of Biblical Exposition.

COLUMBIA FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE

Columbia Friendship Circle is an organization of more than 12,000
friends of the Seminary who carry out an annual program with a three-fold
purpose:

1. They seek to understand the work of the Seminary and pray for its
mission.

2. They encourage able young men in their homes and communities to
consider the Gospel Ministry as they plan their life's work.

3. They sustain their interest in the work of the Seminary by an annual
membership gift.

Each year several hundred members make a pilgrimage to the Seminary
during which a project for the coming year is adopted. In recent years
Columbia Friendship Circle has had as its projects the providing of Friend-
ship Hall, an apartment dormitory; the equipment for the Seminary kitchen;
and the remodeling and refurnishing of Simons-Law Dormitory.

CHURCH VOCATIONS WEEK-END

During each academic year a Church Vocations Week-end is conducted
offering college men an opportunity to think together about the nature of
the Christian ministry and to see first hand the place of the Seminary in
training men for service in the Church. Both students who are undecided
about their life's work and those who definitely intend to enter some form of
Church vocation are invited to attend.

36

MISSION HAVEN

The Women of the Church of Columbia's five supporting synods have
provided funds to build and maintain eight apartments which serve as homes
for missionaries on furlough. The entire Seminary family benefits from this
opportunity to have associations with these representatives of our Church's
outreach to the world.

ANNUAL MISSIONS CONFERENCE

Each year the Society of Missionary Inquiry sponsors a missions con-
ference at the Rock Eagle Conference Grounds near Eatonton, Georgia.
The conference is one of the largest in the nation for high school and
college students. From this conference, now in its 13th year, have come
candidates for mission service who after further training have gone to all
but one of our mission fields.

OTHER MEETINGS

In addition to its own regularly planned conferences the Seminary serves
as host each year to many other groups. Committees of the General As-
sembly often meet on the campus. The Women of the Church hold Sy nodical
Conferences and Area Training meetings here annually. During the summer
the Christianity and Health Workshop uses the facilities of the Seminary.
During the academic year the Seminary provides housing for high school
students participating in the program of the Synod of Georgia Vocational
Guidance Center.

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS

Many ministerial candidates are unable to support themselves through
both college and seminary. Comparatively few of these men ever receive
large salaries in the ministry, and it is important that they not begin their
ministry handicapped by a crushing load of debt. It is estimated that the
income from $20,000 will provide a full scholarship for a worthy student.
The Seminary lists here with deep gratitude scholarships of $500 or more.

THE THOMAS M. BARBEE SCHOLARSHIP FUND

This endowment of $68,000 was established in 1952 by the late Reverend
Thomas M. Barbee, D.D., of Mexico, Missouri, to provide several generous
scholarships for students who agree to serve in rural fields for as much as
five years after graduation from Columbia Seminary.

SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS

In 1821 The Education Society of The Second Presbyterian Church of
Charleston, S. C. was organized "to assist in educatiing some pious promis-
ing young men of talent preparatory to a course of theological studies or in
maintaining them at the Theological Seminary." More than $70,000.00 has
been sent to Columbia Seminary to help worthy theological students com-
plete their education at this historic School of The Prophets. Scholarships
are provided each year by the faithful women of The Second Presbyterian
Church of Charleston, S. C.

37

THE GEORGE HENRY CORNELSON, D.D., SCHOLARSHIP FUND

In March 1959 the Bailey Foundation of Clinton, S. C, established an
endowment of $25,000.00 to provide scholarships in memory of the late
Rev. George Henry Cornelson, D.D. A native of South Carolina, Dr. Cor-
nelson graduated from Columbia Seminary in 1895, having previously earn-
ed his B.A. at Davidson College, which later conferred upon him his honor-
ary degree. He was distinguished as a presbyter, a pastor, and a preacher,
and served at various times as pastor of churches in Arkansas, South Caro-
lina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Louisiana. His last pastorate was in
the First Presbyterian Church of New Orleans, La. Preference in the award
of scholarships will be given to students who will lend their efforts to the
need of industrial communities.

THE WILLIAM V. GARDNER SCHOLARSHIP

Established by the Berean Bible Class of the First Presbyterian Church
in Atlanta in honor of Dr. William V. Gardner, pastor of that church from
1936-1952, and for many years Chairman of the Board of Directors of
Columbia Seminary.

THE EDGAR WATKINS SCHOLARSHIP

Established by the Berean Bible Class of the First Presbyterian Church
in Atlanta in honor of Judge Edgar Watkins, eminent lawyer, civic leader,
Elder in the Presbyterian Church for over forty years and teacher of the
Berean Bible Class for over twenty years.

ENGLISH COURSE

Students from the five Synods supporting Columbia Seminary who are
received by their presbyteries under the extraordinary case clause of the
Book of Church Order may be granted a Diploma from the Seminary upon
the completion of 145 hours of work with a minimum of a C average after a
period of nine quarters in residence at the Seminary. Students who take the
English Course are permitted to omit Hebrew, and when they do not have
the necessary preparation in Greek, they are permitted to omit certain
courses in New Testament exegesis. They must satisfy all other requirements
of the Seminary.

Application for admission to the English Course must be accompanied
by a written request from the student's presbytery, and the Seminary re-
serves the right to apply any tests of the student's ability which may be help-
ful in determining the suitability of the course for him.

WORLD MISSIONS CANDIDATES

In order to give world missions candidates a one-year program of study
the following courses are suggested by the faculty:

Christian Education 400 Theology 301

Pastoral Care 430 Bible 12 Hours

Missions 473 and 5 additional hours in Missions

History 8 hours including a course in Polity

All candidates are advised to discuss their course of study with the
Professor of Missions before registration each quarter. There is a close
coordination between this department and the Board of World Missions.

UNCLASSIFIED STUDENTS

In some instances students not enrolled in a regular program of study
will be allowed to take courses at the Seminary as special students. A tran-
script of courses completed will be granted to such students.

45

THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF THEOLOGY

The degree of Master of Theology (Th.M.) is granted to a student who
has spent a year or more in graduate study, has completed satisfactorily at
least thirty-five hours of work in residence with grades that average at least
B, has presented an acceptable thesis, and has passed a final oral examina-
tion. The work for the degree must be completed within five years after the
student has been admitted to candidacy.

SPECIALIZATION: A student may specialize in any subdivision of the
four major fields of the curriculum. Fifteen hours must be taken in the field
of specialization, and an additional ten hours must be taken either in that
field or in related courses. Ten hours must be taken in courses approved for
graduate study outside the department of specialization. A student intending
to specialize in the area of pastoral care and counseling is required to have
clinical training with the Council for Clinical Pastoral Training, Inc., as
specified by the Professor of Pastoral Counseling.

ADMISSION TO STUDY IN THE GRADUATE DEPARTMENT: Ad-
mission to study in the graduate department is granted by the Dean of the
Graduate Department and the Admissions Committee of the faculty, proper
application having been made through the Dean. The B.D. degree or its
academic equivalent and courses in Hebrew and Greek are prerequisite. If
a student's B.D. course required less than the two biblical languages, he may
substitute an approved language for one of them. Those students who plan
to do their major work in the Old or New Testament departments must be
able to handle the appropriate language with ease. In addition each applicant
is expected to present evidence of achievement and competence as a student.
Rarely can a student be expected to do satisfactory graduate work if he has
not maintained at least a B average in his college and seminary work. Tests
to determine aptitude and psychological fitness are required and must be
taken during the orientation period.

ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY: Admission to candidacy is by vote of the
faculty, proper application having been made in writing to the Committee
on Graduate Work. The faculty meeting in October is the deadline for ad-
mission to candidacy if the student expects to receive his degree the follow-
ing May.

ASSOCIATION WITH EMORY UNIVERSITY: Students working for
their Th.M. at Columbia may, with the approval of their sponsoring pro-
fessor and the Dean of the Graduate Department, take courses offered by
the Candler School of Theology of Emory for full residence credit. This
working agreement appreciably widens the offerings of both schools. No
extra fees are charged; the student pays the regular fees to the school in
which he is enrolled.

COSTS: The costs for graduate work are the same as those for the B.D.
degree.

CORRESPONDENCE: Requests for additional information about graduate
studies should be addressed to the Dean of the Graduate Department.

(M.C.E.) are:

1. A bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.

2. A reading knowledge of at least one foreign language.

3. A minimum of 90 quarter hours, 15 of which may be devoted to an

(4 hours in 151, 151A, 152 or
152A; 4 hours in 131 or 104, and
any other 7 hours. The survey and
introduction courses may not be
taken in the same Testament)

Pastoral Counseling 6 hours (430 and 431)

Worship 4 hours

4. The faculty must be satisfied that the conduct and attitude of the
candidate is becoming a servant of the Church and that he gives
promise of useful service in a Church vocation.

5. All bills to the Seminary must be paid and assurance given that all
open accounts in the community and elsewhere have been satisfied.

(Note: Mission candidates will be required to take at least 15 hours of
Missions.)

Students working toward the M.C.E. degree may be allowed to transfer
credit from other approved institutions, but in no case can a student earn
this degree who has not spent at least a full year in residence.

Students will ordinarily be expected to participate in supervised field
education as a part of their prescribed program.

The degree will be awarded upon the satisfactory completion of the
course of study outlined above, upon the successful demonstration of a
sufficient grasp of the major fields of study by an oral or written examina-
tion, and by giving evidence of adequate ability to do field education.

Students enrolling in this course must be properly recommended for
admission by competent authorities in their denomination, must submit
transcripts showing their college credits and degrees, and must be accepted
by the Admissions Committee of the faculty. Application blanks will be
sent upon request.

47

TH.M IN CLINICAL PASTORAL CARE

In addition to the Th.M. in Pastoral Theology a program in Clinical
Pastoral Care is designed primarily to enable the parish minister to accom-
plish his work of shepherding more effectively. At the same time, this pro-
gram should be regarded as prerequisite to either military or institutional
chaplaincies.

The requirements for admission and graduation pertain to this degree as
for the same degree in any other field with the exception of the thesis and
the inclusion of clinical training, research requirement and pastoral coun-
seling.

For this degree, one full year of clinical training is required in one of the
affiliated institutions of the Georgia Association for Pastoral Care, Inc., or
in an institution accredited by the Council for Clinical Training, Inc. The
Association is an affiliate of the Council.

Having completed this year satisfactorily, the student may then continue
his program in residence. In addition to the thirty-five hours of academic
work, it is expected that the student will be scheduled for six hours weekly
for one year in the Columbia Seminary Counseling Center, preferably in
the Center's work at Central Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. The coun-
seling work is, supervised in a weekly practicum scheduled at the conven-
ience of all participants.

In lieu of a thesis, a student will be assigned a research project by the
Department of Pastoral Care which must be completed to the satisfaction
of the Department.

COURSES OF STUDY

The curriculum materials of Columbia Theological Seminary have been
arranged in four major fields, as follows: (1) Biblical Theology, (2) His-
torical Theology, (3) Doctrinal Theology, and (4) Pastoral Theology. In
addition to its simplicity, this arrangement reflects the unity of the cur-
riculum and at the same time emphasizes the closer relationship sustained
by certain departments of study within a given group. A fifth division is
designated for Practical Apologetics and a sixth for the Honors Program.

The curriculum provides a well-rounded and comprehensive course in
preparation for the Gospel ministry, with due emphasis on the various fields
of study both practical and theoretical. The arrangement of the curriculum
offerings in the Biblical Theology Group has emerged from three basic
convictions: (1) that predominantly the three years of seminary training
rest ultimately in the authority of the Scriptures; (2) that concerted effort
should be made to emphasize the centrality of the Bible in our total training
program; and (3) that every candidate for the Gospel ministry should attain
to a summary knowledge of the teachings of the entire Bible before his
ordination.

48

Group 1

BIBLICAL FIELD

The Church has always emphasized the importance of the original lang-
uage of Holy Scripture in theological education. "The Old Testament in
Hebrew, and the New Testament in Greek, being immediately inspired by
God, the Church is finally to appeal unto them." Therefore, the Seminary
endeavors to fit the students for the ministry to use intelligently and ef-
fectively the original languages in interpreting the Sacred Oracles.

B. NEW TESTAMENT LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, AND

EXEGESIS

The courses in this department are designed to give a working knowl-
edge of the New Testament and to fit the student for a life-long study of
this priceless book.

Every minister who hopes to lead the thoughts of his people must keep
abreast of the thought of the age. Students in this department are expected
to come to an intelligent understanding of the trends of New Testament
interpretation and criticism, conservative and radical, through the lectures,
daily assigned reading, and parallel reading.

All work in this department is on the basis of the Greek text. Ministe-
rial students are strongly urged to take a minimum of two years or three
quarters of Greek in college. Students who enter the Seminary without this
minimum are required to take courses 126 and 127, for which they receive
no seminary credit, before beginning their courses in exegesis. This must
be done before the student begins his middle year.

C BIBLICAL EXPOSITION AND THEOLOGY

In recognition of the important place which the English Bible should
occupy in the minister's study, in his thinking, and in his preaching, Co-
lumbia Seminary includes as a part of its required work two basic courses
in this field. A number of elective courses are also arranged.

The courses in the five divisions of the Biblical Group have been care-
fully planned to have a minimum of overlapping and at the same time to
make the offerings in the field as broad as possible. The apparent over-
lapping at certain points is largely overcome by the methods of approach
which the several professors employ to guide their students in the study
of the Bible. The Old and New Testament departments lay especial em-
phasis upon the exegetical study, while the English Bible department uses
the expository method. Our primary concern is not to offer the student a
wealth of homiletic material but rather to assist him in the development of
an effective method of Bible study and to secure for him a broad concept
of the teachings which inhere in the books studied.

As a means of increasing his familiarity with Scripture and of encourag-
ing proper devotional habits, each student will be required to read the
entire Bible at least once prior to the fall quarter of his middle year. This
reading of the Bible is a prerequisite for the taking of the English Bible
Comprehensive during the fall quarter of the middle year.

HISTORICAL FIELD

Church History and Historical Theology

The Church is the people of God gathered around the Messiah. She
is the listening, worshipping and witnessing community living under the
Reign of Grace and looking for the Reign of Glory. As she was founded,
so has she been carried onward by the Mighty acts of God in Christ Jesus.
Across the ages she is advancing with the Bible as her guide and her am-
munition.

The Church appears in various forms under different cultures among
sundry peoples and in changing epochs. The history of the Church treats of
her missionary work, her doctrine and her worship, her organization and
her vindication. In addition to the account of these several phases in the
general course, institutions receive special attention in the course on Pres-
byterian history and polity, defense against opposing views in Apologetics,
and Christian missions in courses in that department.

Where possible, the courses are listed under the three periods of Church
History. Other courses appear under historical surveys of particular themes.

by Lietzmann, Lebreton, Kelly and Petry are consulted, Bruce The Spreading
Flame and Kelly, Early Christian Doctrines are used as the texts.

During the dark ages between the fall of Rome and the emergence of the
nations of Europe, the Church carried the torch of religion and education. The
fathers and the doctors formulated the heritage of the faith. The Germanic
peoples were won to the Christian allegiance. Tensions between East and West
led to schisms and separation. Worldliness evoked monasticism, education flowered
into scholasticism, reform freed the Church from feudal control and brought in
the papal autocracy. The great mediaeval synthesis collaped and the way was
prepared for the Reformation.

PASTORAL FIELD

A. The Teaching Ministry

The Church, according to Scripture, is a school. The responsibility for
the teaching ministry of the Church belongs to the whole congregation;
nevertheless, the minister as the teaching elder has a position of leadership
in this task. He is charged by the Book of Church Order "to catechise the
children and youth and to oversee the educational program of the church."

To help equip the seminary graduate for this aspect of his ministry, two
basic courses are required of all students. The first, No. 400, seeks to intro-
duce the student to the nature of the teaching ministry while the second,
No. 401, deals with the practical aspects of the ministry in the local church.

Elective courses are offered to assist interested students in pursuing a
deeper understanding of the teaching ministry.

400. The Nature and Purpose of the Teaching Ministry.

This course, is a study of the teaching ministry of the Church in light of the
Church's ministry to the world. It includes an investigation of the Biblical and
theological rationale for education in the Church, a brief survey of the history
of Christian education, and a consideration of the objectives, foundations and
principles which govern a ministry of education.
Required, Junior year, spring quarter, four hours McCarter

401. The Organization and Administration of Christian Education.

of such problems as the relation of Church and home, the criteria for evaluating
curricula, and the teaching-learning process.

Required, Senior year, spring quarter, two hours McCarter

402. The Church and Higher Education.

This course raises the problem of the Church's relation to culture, especially

is placed upon the analysis of the academic community and the Church's
methods of communicating the Gospel in such situations. Opportunity is given
for individual research into special areas such as the state university, the church
college, the college students.

ment in the Roman Catholic Church.
Elective, two hours McCarter

408. Teaching the Bible

If the Bible is to fulfill its purpose in the Church it is not enough that it be
preached, it must be taught. If the minister is to fulfill his function in the
Church it is not enough that he preach, he must teach. Above all, he must be
skilled in teaching the Bible. This is just as true for Directors of Christian Edu-
cation and for missionaries. This is a course in practice teaching in which
members of the class will teach selected books or passages from the Bible
