1965-1966 ANNOUNCEMEN Columbia Theological Seminary DECATUR, GA. Columbia Theological Seminary is a seminary of the Presbyterian Church, U.S. operated and controlled by the Synods of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina through a Board of Directors. It is a mem- ber of the American Association of Theological Schools. Against the background of the world the seal presents the open Bible and the Celtic cross. The Greek words are from Ephesians 4:11 and refer to the "pastors and teachers" given to the Church by the risen Christ. The Celtic cross has been used traditionally among Scottish Presbyterians.

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. ^t % k i DIRECTORS AND FACULTY Top: President Richards and 1964 Alumni Lecturer L. V.

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. 19 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.

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 paper in Presbyterian History and Polity. WILDS BOOK PRIZE Established by Louis T. Wilds, Esq., ruling Elder of the First Presby- terian Church, Columbia, South Carolina, to provide an annual book prize for a student elected by the faculty for distinction in his academic work. PAUL T. FUHRMANN BOOK PRIZE The Paul T. Fuhrmann Book Prize in Church History was established in 1962 by an alumnus of the Seminary for the purpose of stimulating Christian scholarship. The award is made annually to a student who has shown outstanding achievement in Church History. 21 ( w^ ~ N?' r Is ! L >' ' "': ': y ' , Top to Bottom: Professor McKee.

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 EXPENSES Tuition and all fees, with the exception of apartment rent, are payable by the first day of each quarter. Apartment rent is charged at the end of every month. Charges for board are subject to change. Tuition for less than 10 quarter hours is $13.35 per quarter hour. The fee for auditing courses is $7.50 per quarter hour. UNMARRIED STUDENTS TUITION $400.00 Payable $134 fall quarter, $133 winter and spring quarters STUDENT ACTIVITY FEE 12.00 Payable $4 each quarter ROOM RENT 120.00 Payable $40 each quarter BOARD 386.25 Payable $125 plus $3.75 Georgia Sales Tax each quarter $918.25 Other Expenses Each student is required to have some form of hospitalization insurance acceptable to the faculty. Students may purchase the insurance which is 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 expenses will vary according to the habits of the student. A branch of the 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. 31 MINISTERS' WEEK OCTOBER 25-29, 1965 SMYTH LECTURER THE REV. WAYNE E. OATES, B.D., Th.M., Th.D. Professor of Psychology of Religion Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Louisville, Kentucky ALUMNI LECTURER THE REV. ALBERT N. WELLS, B.S., B.D., Th.D. First Presbyterian Church Laurinburg, North Carolina LECTURERS 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. 33 Top to Bottom: College guests during Church Vocations Week-End.

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.

In addition to the above list of required courses each candidate for the B.D. Degree will be required to take at least one course (two quarter hours) in Hospital Pastoral Care. Ordinarily, the student will take this during the spring quarter of his junior year or during any one of the three quarters of his middle year. * Suggested electives **Normally students will choose elective courses to bring their schedule to no less than 15 quarter hours. 44 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. 46 Church History 8 hours Theology 8 hours Christian Education 15 hours Bible 15 hours MASTER OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION The requirements for the degree of Master of Christian Education (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 acceptable research project. The following requirements shall be met: (including a course in Polity) (301 and any other 4 hours) (400, 401 and any other 9 hours) (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. A. OLD TESTAMENT LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, AND EXEGESIS All candidates for the B.D. degree are required to take 18 hours in the Old Testament department of which 12 hours are in specified required courses, 101, 102, and 104. In addition 6 hours ot Old Testament exegesis must be elected. Students who desire to study Biblical Archaeology may register for certain courses in this field offered at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. Also, upon payment of necessary costs and completion of required work qualified students may participate in and receive up to nine hours elective credit for work done in the Negev Archaeological Seminar (see page 19). 101 and 102.

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. The requirements for the B.D. degree in this department are as follows: Juniors will take N.T.

Elective, winter quarter, three hours Hughes 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. 151. Survey of the New Testament. A study of the content and structure of the books of the New Testament and of the New Testament as-a-whole. Emphasis is given to the book-as-a-whole approach and to method in handling the larger context of a passage or book.

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.
