HISTORY OF THE SEMINARY
In the year 1809 the proposal to establish a Theological Seminary for the Presbyterian Church was introduced to the General Assembly in the form of an overture from the Presby¬ tery of Philadelphia. The Committee to which the overture was referred recommended that three plans be submitted to the pres¬ byteries : the first, to establish one school in some convenient place near the center of the Church; the second, to establish two schools, one in the North, the other, in the South; the third, to establish a school within the bounds of each of the synods. The reports from the presbyteries, received in 1810, led the General Assembly of that year to decide upon a single school and to appoint a committee to prepare a “Plan for a Theological Seminary,” to be reported to the next General Assembly. In 1811 the plan reported was adopted. In 1812 the location of the Seminary was fixed temporarily at Princeton, N.J. ; a Board of Directors was elected, and the Rev. Archibald Alexander, D.D., was appointed Professor of Didactic and Polemic Divinity. In 1813 the Rev. Samuel Miller was appointed Professor of Ecclesiastical History and Church Government, and the location at Princeton was made permanent.
The Trustees of the College of New Jersey entered into an agreement with the General Assembly, allowing the use of their buildings to the Seminary students, and offering space on the campus for the erection of any building necessary for the use of the Seminary. They also engaged that, while the Theological Seminary shall remain at Princeton, no professorship of theology shall be established in the College.
The classes were first held in Doctor Alexander’s study and later for a time in the College buildings. In 1815 the General Assembly determined to erect a hall which should contain both the lecture room needed and lodgings for the students. The cornerstone was laid in that year, and the building, now known as Alexander Hall, was occupied in the autumn of 1817. It was built upon a tract of land which had been acquired for the use of the Seminary. In 1820 the General Assembly authorized the professors to appoint an Assistant Teacher of the Original Languages of Scripture, and in the same year they appointed to this office Mr. Charles Hodge, a graduate of the Seminary and
9
a licentiate of the Church. Mr. Hodge accepted the appointment and was ordained. In 1822 he was elected by the General Assem¬ bly Professor of Oriental and Biblical Literature. In 1824 a charter, obtained from the Legislature of the State of New Jersey, was accepted by the General Assembly, and in accordance with its terms the property and funds of the Seminary were placed in the charge of a Board of Trustees. This act of legis¬ lation incorporated the “Trustees of the Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian Church,” making this the corporate name of the institution. With this incorporation the Seminary was con¬ stituted as at present.
The first session began on the twelfth of August, 1812. Three students matriculated on that day, another in August and five
in November. Since then nine thousand three hundred and forty- three students have been enrolled, coming from all parts of the United States and from many foreign countries.
THE DESIGN OF THE SEMINARY
In the Plan of the Seminary, as adopted by the General As¬ sembly, its design is stated in the following paragraphs :
“The General Assembly, after mature deliberation, have re¬ solved, in reliance on the patronage and blessing of the Great Head of the Church, to establish a new Institution, consecrated solely to the education of men for the Gospel ministry, and to be denominated The Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. And to the intent that the true design of the founders of this institution may be known to the public, both now and in time to come, and especially that this design may, at all times, be distinctly viewed and sacredly regard¬ ed, both by the teachers and the pupils of the Seminary, it is judged proper to make a summary and explicit statement of it.
“It is to form men for the Gospel ministry who shall truly believe, and cordially love, and therefore endeavour to propa¬ gate and defend, in its genuineness, simplicity, and fullness, that system of religious belief and practice which is set forth in the Confession of Faith, Catechisms, and Plan of Government and Discipline of the Presbyterian Church; and thus to perpetuate and extend the influence of true evangelical piety and Gospel order.
“It is to provide for the Church an adequate supply and suc-
10
cession of able and faithful ministers of the New Testament; workmen that need not be ashamed, being qualified rightly to divide the word of truth.
“It is to unite in those who shall sustain the ministerial office, religion and literature; that piety of the heart, which is the fruit only of the renewing and sanctifying grace of God, with solid learning: believing that religion without learning, or learning without religion, in the ministers of the Gospel, must ultimately prove injurious to the Church.
“It is to afford more advantages than have hitherto been usu¬ ally possessed by the ministers of religion in our country, to cultivate both piety and literature in their preparatory course; piety, by placing it in circumstances favourable to its growth, and by cherishing and regulating its ardour ; literature, by afford¬ ing favourable opportunities for its attainment, and by making its possession indispensable.
“It is to provide for the Church men who shall be able to defend her faith against infidels and her doctrine against heretics.
“It is to furnish our congregations with enlightened, humble, zealous, laborious pastors, who shall truly watch for the good of souls, and consider it as their highest honour and happiness to win them to the Saviour, and to build up their several charges in holiness and peace.
“It is to promote harmony and unity of sentiment among the ministers of our Church, by educating a large body of them under the same teachers and in the same course of study.
“It is to lay the foundation of early and lasting friendships, productive of confidence and mutual assistance in after life among the ministers of religion ; which experience shows to be conducive not only to personal happiness, but to the perfecting of inquiries, researches and publications advantageous to religion.
“It is to preserve the unity of our Church, by educating her ministers in an enlightened attachment not only to the same doctrines, but to the same plan of government.
“It is to bring to the service of the Church genius and talent, when united with piety, however poor or obscure may be their possessor, by furnishing, as far as possible, the means of edu¬ cation and support without expense to the students.
“It is to found a nursery for missionaries to the heathen, and to such as are destitute of the stated preaching of the Gospel :
ii
in which youth may receive that appropriate training which may lay a foundation for their ultimately becoming eminently quali¬ fied for missionary work.
“It is, finally, to endeavour to raise up a succession of men, at once qualified for and thoroughly devoted to the work of the Gospel ministry; who, with various endowments, suiting them to different stations in the Church of Christ, may all possess a portion of the spirit of the primitive propagators of the Gospel; prepared to make every sacrifice, to endure every hardship, and to render every service which the promotion of pure and undefiled religion may require.”
LOCATION OF THE SEMINARY
The General Assembly, after mature deliberation, selected Princeton as the site of the first Seminary of the Church. Among the reasons that led to this choice was the advantage afforded by proximity to the College of New Jersey, now Princeton University. The theological students have the privileges of the University library; admission to the courses of instruction in the graduate and undergraduate department of the University when duly qualified and upon recommendation by the Faculty of the Seminary; opportunities to hear public addresses by the members of the University Faculty and other distinguished lecturers, and to attend the concerts and musical recitals given under the auspices of the University and the Westminster Choir College.
Princeton is located in lovely rural country midway between New York and Philadelphia. It is approximately one hour’s run on the Pennsylvania Railroad from either city.
SEMINARY CAMPUS
The Seminary campus, enlarged in 1943, by the acquisition of the land and buildings belonging to the Hun Preparatory School, now covers thirty acres. The plant consists of an administration building, two class room buildings, two library buildings, a chapel, four dormitories, three apartment houses, a gymnasium and athletic field and four outdoor tennis courts. The Seminary owns in addition a considerable number of houses which are used as homes by members of the Faculty.
Miller Chapel. The Chapel was erected in 1834. Through the generosity of John C. Green, Esq., of New York, the interior
12
of the building was renovated in the summer of 1874. In 1933 the Chapel was moved to a more central location, was enlarged and restored to its original Colonial simplicity, and a large four- manual Gottfried pipe organ installed. This was made possible by the generosity of a friend of the Seminary.
The Library. The Seminary has two library buildings, both of which were erected through the generosity of James Lenox, LL.D., of New York City, the first in 1843 and the second in 1879. A fuller description of their facilities is found elsewhere in this catalogue.
Stuart Hall. This building, erected in 1876, was a gift to the Seminary from Messrs. R. L. and A. Stuart. It affords ample accommodation in the way of lecture rooms, and contains two large auditoriums intended for use at public gatherings of the institution.
The Seminary has cooperated with the local Young Men’s Christian Association to install a bowling alley in the basement of Stuart Hall. This increases the indoor recreational facilities on the campus.
Tite Education Building. This is a large unit consisting of ten class rooms and an auditorium located on the Stockton Street Campus. It is used for the work of the School of Christian Edu¬ cation and for part of the seminar work in connection with the Graduate Department of the Seminary.
Alexander Hall, long known as the Old Seminary, was the first building erected by the Presbyterian Church in the United States for seminary purposes. It was first occupied by the stu¬ dents in the autumn of 1817. In it the rooms, whether intended for one occupant or two, have separate studies.
Brown Hall was given by Mrs. Isabella Brown of Balti¬ more. The cornerstone was laid by the Moderator of the General Assembly on the 21st of May, 1864, and it was occupied in the autumn of 1865. It is a dormitory consisting largely of single rooms.
Hodge Hall, built by money from the bequest of Mrs. Mary Stuart, widow of Mr. Robert L. Stuart, of New York, was completed during the summer of 1893. The rooms are in suites, each study having a separate, connecting bedroom, or, in the few cases where the study is to be shared by two occupants, a separate sleeping room for each.
13
Tennent Hall. This large, three-story building is the wom¬ en’s dormitory of the new School of Christian Education inau¬ gurated in September, 1944. The name Tennent enshrines the memory of the famous William Tennent who in 1726 founded the Log College in Neshaminy, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which became the lineal ancestor of Princeton University. The name Tennent is also given to this building to commemorate Tennent College of Christian Education of Philadelphia, which closed in 1943 when its assets and objectives were taken over by Princeton Theological Seminary.
North Hall. This is an apartment house specially remodeled to accommodate married students enrolled in the Seminary. Rentals vary according to the size of the apartments.
Payne Hall. This hall for the housing of missionaries on furlough was given by Mr. and Mrs. Calvin N. Payne, of Titus¬ ville, Pa., in 1922. It is a stone building of fire-proof construction, located on ground donated by Dr. and Mrs. Charles R. Erdman, and contains fully furnished apartments for twelve families. Funds to be used for maintenance were given by several persons at the time of erection. In 1926, just before the death of Mr. Payne, he and Mrs. Payne made provision for an endowment for the building and for the furtherance of missionary education in the Seminary, through the provisions of which the annual rental of apartments to missionaries has been reduced to a nominal sum.
In assigning apartments preference is given to those mission¬ aries who purpose taking a regular course of study in the Semi¬ nary in fuller preparation for service on return to their fields. Foreign missionaries of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., and, under certain conditions, other missionaries are eligible. Cor¬ respondence concerning residence in this hall and applications for apartments should be addressed to the Dean.
South Hall. This former school dormitory has been remod¬ eled into seven four-room apartments for chaplains and their families, married students, and furloughed missionaries who cannot be accommodated in Payne Hall.
The Whiteley Gymnasium. This is a large and magnifi¬ cently equipped gymnasium erected in 1929. The building con¬ tains large courts for basketball, badminton, squash, and hand¬ ball. An unfinished swimming pool will be completed when funds are available. The gymnasium is named after Mrs. George
14
H. Whiteley, of York, Pennsylvania, who bequeathed fifty thou¬ sand dollars for a gymnasium originally designed to be part of the projected Student Center Building.
Administration Building. This is a commodious and well equipped building located in the center of the campus. It unites under one roof all the Seminary offices. Originally built as a refectory and converted in 1910 into a gymnasium, this old building was totally renovated in 1945-46, after the Seminary had acquired the magnificent Whiteley Gymnasium. The renova¬ tion was made possible by the generosity of the many alumni who responded to a special appeal in support of the project.
TERMS OF ADMISSION
Application. A student desiring to enter the Seminary must apply for admission by filing with the Dean a formal application, a copy of which will be sent upon request. The application should be filed as early as may be convenient.
Credentials. In order to be admitted to matriculation and enrolment as a student in the Seminary, the applicant for ad¬ mission must present to the Dean the following credentials :
1. A letter from the pastor or session of the church of which he is a member, stating that he is in full communion with the church, possesses good natural talents, and is of a prudent and discreet deportment. Or, if an ordained minister, a letter from the ecclesiastical body to which he belongs, stating that he is in good and regular standing.
2. A complete college or university transcript indicating the completion of a regular course of academic study and the award¬ ing of a degree by an accredited college.
3. Greek Requirement. All students entering the Junior Class of Princeton Seminary who have had courses in Greek shall be required to take an examination in Greek to demonstrate that they are able to carry on exegetical work in New Testament. This examination will seek to determine the candidate’s knowl¬ edge of the forms of the Greek declensions and conjugations, his acquaintance with fundamental syntactical constructions, and his ability to translate simple Greek prose. At the exam¬ ination the student will have a choice between a passage from Xenophon’s Anabasis , Book I, and one from the Synoptic Gos-
15
pels. Students found to be inadequately prepared shall take a course in New Testament Greek. Students entering without any knowledge of Greek must pursue the beginner’s course through¬ out the year.
4. All foreign students seeking admission to the Seminary shall be accredited by some responsible body in their own coun¬ tries, certifying to such proficiency in the reading, writing and speaking of the English language as will enable the students to do satisfactory work in the Seminary. In the week preceding the Christmas vacation a committee of the Faculty will conduct an examination in English that all foreign students must pass before they are finally admitted to candidacy for any degree.
Admission ad Eundem Gradum. A student who has taken part of the theological course in another approved seminary will be received to the same stage of the course on his presentation of a letter from that seminary certifying to his good standing, stating the courses he has completed, and regularly dismissing him to this Seminary. He must also comply with the terms of admission set forth in the preceding paragraphs; and, if a can¬ didate for the degree of B.D., he must satisfy the requirements of the Seminary regarding knowledge of the original languages of Scripture.
Graduate and Other Students. A student who has com¬ pleted the regular course of study in another approved seminary must present complete transcripts of his college and seminary course. If he does not come immediately from a seminary he must secure a letter from a presbytery or other equivalent ecclesiastical body, stating that he is a minister in good and regular standing.
An ordained minister who has not completed the regular course of study in a theological seminary may be admitted to the privileges of the Seminary on the presentation of a letter from a presbytery or other equivalent ecclesiastical body, stating that he is in good and regular standing in his church.
The hospitality of the Seminary may also be extended to accredited persons who desire to pursue special studies.
Ministers of the gospel who desire to attend the Seminary for a longer or shorter period, but who do not wish to undertake regular work, may, if properly accredited, be received as guests and given the privileges of the classrooms and library.

Collegiate Preparation
College students preparing for the ministry should give care¬ ful study to the following statement on pre-seminary studies, recommended by The American Association of Theological Schools and heartily endorsed by Princeton Seminary.
I. The Function of Pre-Seminary Studies
College courses prior to theological seminary are not ends in themselves, but are means toward the realization of certain ends without which a minister is handicapped. The college work of students looking to the ministry should issue in at least three broad kinds of results. We may expect that these results will tend to be realized through certain kinds of college work. We state the kinds of results, together with the types of courses and other experiences which should tend to produce such results.
1. The college work of a pre-seminary student should result in the ability to use certain tools of the educated man:
(a) The ability to write English clearly and correctly. English composition should have this as a specific purpose, but this purpose should also be cultivated in all written work.
(b) The ability to think clearly. In some persons this ability is cultivated through courses in philosophy or spe¬ cifically in logic. In others it is cultivated by the use of scientific method, or by dealing with critical problems in connection with literary and historical documents.
(c) The ability to read at least one foreign language, and in some circumstances more than one.
2. The college work of a pre-seminary student should result in acquaintance with the world in which he lives :
(a) The world of men and ideas. This is aided by fa¬ miliarity with English literature, philosophy, psychology, and the social sciences.
(b) The world of nature. This is aided by familiarity with the natural sciences, including actual laboratory work.
3. The college work of a pre-seminary student should result in a sense of achievement.
(a) The degree of his mastery of his fields of study is more important than the credits and grades which he accu¬ mulates.
17
(b) The sense of achievement may be encouraged through academic concentration, or through “honors” work, or through other plans for increasingly independent work with as much initiative on the student’s part as he is able to use with profit.
II. Subjects in Pre-Seminary Study
The following is regarded by the Association as a minimum list of fields of study with which it is desirable that a student should have acquaintance before beginning study in seminary. These fields of study are selected because of the probability that they will lead in the direction of such results as have been indicated.
It is desirable that the student’s work in these fields of study should be evaluated on the basis of his mastery of these fields, rather than in terms of semester hours or credits.
But many institutions use the latter methods of calculation. Therefore, in connection with the fields we indicate what seems to us the minimum for each, putting the minimum in terms of semesters and semester hours.

CONCENTRATION
Concentration of work, or “majoring,” is a common practice in colleges. For such concentration or major, a constructive sequence based upon any one, two, or three of the above fields of study would lead up naturally to a theological course.
III. The Nature of this Recommendation
The Association wishes to point out two characteristics of the list of pre-seminary studies it is recommending.
First, this is a statement in minimum terms. We make no attempt to list all the work which it would be profitable for a student to do. It is thus possible to include many other elements in one’s college courses, while still working in what the Asso¬ ciation regards as the first essentials.
Second, the emphasis is on a “liberal arts” program, rather than on the elements commonly known as “pre-professional.” In the judgment of the Association the appropriate foundations for a minister’s later professional studies lie in a broad and comprehensive college education, while the normal place for a minister’s professional studies is the theological school.
Princeton Seminary recommends that special attention be given to English (composition and literature), philosophy, history, psychology, sociology and Greek. It is assumed that the student will have a general knowledge of the English Bible. If one is looking forward to the degree of Doctor of Theology it would be well for him to study both German and French and also Latin while in college.
SUMMER TERM
In compliance with a request from a group of veterans the Seminary in the summer of 1947 provided instruction in Hebrew
19
over a twelve-week period. This plan met with such an enthusi¬ astic response and proved so successful, that a summer session was arranged for 1948, extending over a ten-week period, June 15 to August 20.
Matriculation
Entering students who have presented satisfactory credentials are matriculated by subscribing to the following declaration required by the Plan of the Seminary :
“Deeply impressed with a sense of the importance of improv¬ ing 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 in¬ structions of this Seminary, and that I will conscientiously and diligently observe all the rules and regulations specified 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 requisi¬ tions, and readily yield to all the wholesome admonitions of the Professors and Trustees of the Seminary while I shall continue a member of it.”

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION
The Degree of Bachelor of Divinity The course of study prescribed for the degree of B.D. is based upon the outline set forth in the Plan of the Seminary and adopted by the General Assembly and is designed to provide a complete and symmetrical training for the Gospel ministry. The studies are arranged in logical sequence with the following distribution of hours : first year, prescribed, forty-four; second year, prescribed, thirty-four, elective, twelve; third year, prescribed, thirteen, elective, thirty-two.
In addition the student must satisfactorily complete four points of field work. This may be done in four terms, or in two summer vacation periods, or through a year’s internship. Before the degree is conferred the field work and academic record must evidence the fact that the recipient shows promise of usefulness in the ministry.

The Degree of Master of Theology
Students who desire to become candidates for the degree of Master of Theology must apply for admission to graduate study by filing with the Dean a formal application, a copy of which will be sent upon request.
Students who hold the degree of A.B. or its academic equiva¬ lent and the degree of B.D. or its theological equivalent from ap¬ proved institutions may become candidates for the degree of Master of Theology (Th.M.), it being understood that to re¬ ceive the degree in the Biblical field the candidate must have a knowledge of the original languages of Scripture.
Candidates for the degree shall take courses equivalent to thirty-four term hours. Twenty-three of these shall be devoted to a major course of study chosen from the electives listed in one of the following Departments : Biblical Literature, History, Sys¬ tematic Theology, Practical Theology. Of these twenty-three term hours the equivalent of at least six term hours shall be de¬ voted to a thesis on some aspect of the candidate’s major subject of study.
The eleven term hours of minor studies may be chosen from any electives offered in the Seminary, or eight of the eleven term hours may be chosen from courses in Princeton University, sub¬ ject to its regulations. (Eight term hours are equivalent to six semester hours in the University.)
In order to receive credit towards the Master’s degree, each course must require adequate reading and written work (reports, essays, theses, etc.) followed by a written examination or its equivalent in research.
The list of the candidate’s courses shall be filed with the Registrar, who will submit it for approval to the Dean and to the professor under whom the candidate is taking most of his major studies.
The candidate must spend a minimum of one year in residence completing his work for the degree including the thesis within that period. If an extension of time is desired the candidate may petition the Faculty, the limit for such extension being one year.
25
The thesis required of the candidate must be submitted by the first of May in the year in which the candidate expects to receive his degree. It must have special merit, and be approved by two professors.
After the first of May of the year he submits his thesis, each candidate must pass a special oral examination in his major subject, this examination to be conducted by the professor in the field of specialization and one other member of the Faculty.
On the Wednesday morning preceding Commencement Day all candidates for the Master’s degree shall meet with the Faculty for the presentation in very brief outline of their Master’s theses.
The candidate must maintain honors standing to receive the degree.
The Degree of Doctor of Theology
The purpose of the study for the degree of Doctor of Theol¬ ogy is to enable the candidate to achieve such a mastery of the field of specialization as shall equip him to do original research and creative work.
The conditions under which an applicant may be admitted to candidacy for the degree are as follows :
Admission to Prospective Candidacy
1. The applicant must file with the Dean a formal application, the form for which will be sent on request. This application shall be made not later than May 31 preceding the year in which the course of study is to begin.
2. The applicant must hold an A.B. degree, or its equivalent, with high standing from an accredited college or university. A transcript of the applicant’s course, together with his grades, must accompany the application.
3. The applicant must hold the B.D. degree, or its equivalent, with high standing from an accredited institution. A tran¬ script of his course, with grades, must also accompany the application.
4. Before actual admission to the institution for study the applicant must satisfactorily pass preliminary examinations in the following:
Biblical Literature — a working knowledge of Hebrew and Greek; Old and New Testament; Biblical The¬ ology.
26
History — the History of the Church; History of Reli¬ gions ; the Christian Missionary Movement. Systematic Theology — Christian Philosophy, Dogmatic Theology, and Christian Ethics.
Practical Theology — Homiletics, Christian Education, Pastoral Work and Church Administration.
These examinations will be held in the last week of April preceding the year in which study is begun, or the last week of September of the applicant’s first year of study. They shall be oral and written, and the maximum length for each of the four departments shall be four hours.
If all of these conditions (i to 4 above) are satisfac¬ torily met, the applicant may be admitted as a prospective candidate.
Admission to Full Candidacy
The applicant who has begun his study on admission as a prospective candidate shall not be admitted to full can¬ didacy for the doctor’s degree until he has satisfied the Committee on Graduate Study that he has a working knowledge of German and one other modern language besides English. It is left to the discretion of the depart¬ ment concerned to determine whether a candidate should take courses requiring Latin as part of his work for the Doctor of Theology degree. These language examinations should be completed before February of the candidate’s first year of resident study. When a student fails in the regular language examinations in the first year of resi¬ dence work, he is required to take the re-examination within the third term of that same year.
Conditions Governing the Granting of the Degree
1. There shall be required a minimum of two years’ residence. If the candidate has any regular obligation or employment other than his studies for the degree, the period of his study shall be lengthened at the discretion of the Committee on Graduate Study.
2. Graduate work in accredited institutions may in exceptional cases reduce the amount of time required for the degree. The credit to be allowed for such graduate study shall de-
27
pend on the nature and quality of the work done, and shall be determined by the Committee on Graduate Study.
3. The schedule of studies shall be prepared by the candidate in consultation with the professor in whose field he spe¬ cializes, subject to the approval of the Committee on Gradu¬ ate Study. In addition to the courses taken by the candidate in his department of specialization, he shall take such other courses as shall be regarded as necessary.
4. At the completion of his residence requirements the candi¬ date shall pass a comprehensive examination in the field of his specialization.
5. The candidate shall submit a dissertation in the field of his specialization, which dissertation must be a contribution to the literature of the subject. The dissertation must be pre¬ sented by March the first of the year in which the degree is to be granted, and not later than the sixth year after the candidate has begun his work for the degree. Two copies of this dissertation shall be represented to the office of the Dean. Each of these copies shall contain a brief summary of the main conclusions reached by the author.
6. The candidate shall undergo a public final oral examination in defense of his dissertation, which examination is to be conducted by the department of specialization. The date of this examination shall be published at least three business days before it is held.
7. When the candidate shall have met all requirements, the decision as to whether he shall be recommended for his de¬ gree shall be made finally by the department of his speciali¬ zation.
8. Before the candidate shall receive his degree he shall deposit in the library two copies of the dissertation as approved.
9. The tuition fee for each year of resident study shall be $200.00.
10. A deposit of fifty dollars shall be required to guarantee the publication, within two years, of the dissertation, or of an abstract of 2500 to 3000 words of the dissertation.
On the Wednesday morning preceding Commencement Day all candidates for the Doctor’s degree shall meet the Faculty for the presentation in very brief outline of their Doctor’s theses.
28
RELATIONS WITH PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
Relations of academic reciprocity between the Seminary and Princeton University secure for students of either institution admission to the courses of the other without charge for tuition.
Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Divinity may, with the approval of the Faculty of the Seminary and the Faculty of the University, take certain courses in the University as partial fulfillment of the requirements for this degree.
Candidates for the degree of Master of Theology may, with the approval of the Faculty of the Seminary and the Faculty of the University, take courses not to exceed six semester hours (eight term hours) in the University as partial fulfillment of the requirements for this degree.
In view of the academic requirements in both institutions it is not possible for a student in the Seminary to become a candidate for a degree in the University when in candidacy for a degree in the Seminary.
Although the requirements for the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy in the University are not based upon a system of “credits,” work done in graduate courses of the University as partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree in the Seminary may reduce the amount of study which a student might need to pursue in order to meet the requirements for either of the degrees in the University.
Candidates for the degree of Master of Arts or Doctor of Philosophy in the University may, with the approval of the Faculty of the University and the Faculty of the Seminary, take certain courses in the Seminary as part of their programs of study toward these degrees.
A description of the requirements for advanced degrees in the University and descriptions of the courses are contained in a pamphlet which may be obtained upon application to the Dean of the Graduate School.
29
Courses of Study
t
The academic year is divided into three terms, but the stu¬ dent should register at the beginning of the year for the whole course of study he intends to pursue throughout the entire year and should file his list of studies with the Registrar.
A term hour represents one period a week for one term. The normal load of each term is fifteen hours. Only under special circumstances may a student take more than this number.
Elective courses are not open to Juniors taking Hebrew or Greek 112 A. Hebrew must be taken in the first year, except in the case of students who are taking New Testament Greek 112 A or 112 B.
At the end of each term the scholastic standing of students with respect to their studies, both prescribed and elective, will be determined by examination or by such methods as the pro¬ fessors may adopt.
Students absent from or conditioned in the final examina¬ tions must submit to examination immediately after the open¬ ing of the next session.
In the numerals preceding each course, the number in the first column indicates the group of studies as given in the de¬ scription of courses (i.e. 1. Biblical; 2. historical; 3. theological; 4. practical) ; the second column the year to which the course normally belongs, i.e., 1 — first year; 2 — second year; 3 — third year (in B.D. course) ; 4, 5, etc. — elective study (in whatever year taken). The numbers which follow indicate the terms.
All courses listed are not given in any one year. Some are given in alternate years and some in three year cycles. When, therefore, it is stated that a particular course will not be given in the year 1948-49, it means that it will be given in 1949-50 or I95°-5I, according to the sequence followed by the professor concerned.

This course is based upon the belief that congregational singing can and should be a vital element in public worship.

THE SCHOOL OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Pursuant to the action of the Presbyterian General Assembly of 1941, which recommended that Colleges of Christian Educa¬ tion belonging to the Presbyterian Church should become related to seminaries or colleges, negotiations were entered into between the Trustees of Princeton Theological Seminary and the Trustees of Tennent College of Christian Education in Philadelphia. Fol¬ lowing these negotiations the Trustees of Tennent College de¬ cided to close the latter institution and to make over its assets to Princeton Theological Seminary. The Seminary, on its part, agreed to carry forward the work of Tennent College upon a graduate level, and to perpetuate the name of Tennent upon the campus of Princeton Theological Seminary and in the Seminary’s annual catalogue.
The new School of Christian Education was inaugurated in September 1944, when a carefully selected group of young women with college degrees were admitted for the first year of study.
Convinced that more time is needed for the adequate prepara¬ tion of teachers of the Christian Religion in schools and colleges and of directors of religious education in our churches than is ordinarily required, Princeton Theological Seminary has insti¬ tuted a three year course. This course embraces basic studies in Biblical Literature, Theology, Church History, Ecumenics and Education, in addition to special cultural and technical studies designed to give students the most complete preparation possible for teaching the Christian religion in church or secular schools. The degree of Master of Religious Education, M.R.E. (Prin.), is conferred upon those who successfully complete the course. In exceptional cases students will be admitted for a shorter pe¬ riod who do not intend to take the full course for a degree, but who desire to equip themselves more fully for some task related to Christian Education in which they have been engaged, or desire to engage at home or abroad.
While a number of the courses both prescribed and elective are taught by present members of the Seminary Faculty, an in¬ creasing number of teachers will devote their whole time to the School of Christian Education. Courses in Christian Art and Literary Classics are taught in the Seminary by professors made available by Princeton University.
74
All inquiries relating to the School of Christian Education should be directed to Edward Howell Roberts, Dean, Prince¬ ton Theological Seminary.
DEPARTMENT OF FIELD WORK
The Seminary maintains a regular Department of Field Work, of which Dr. J. Christy Wilson is the Director. This Department has the responsibility of placing students in posi¬ tions where they may receive practical experience in Chris¬ tian work under proper supervision. Most of the positions also offer financial remuneration to help in meeting the Sem¬ inary expenses.
The Field Work is considered an integral part of the edu¬ cational process and is the laboratory work or clinical experi¬ ence of the Seminary course. Four points of Field Work Credit are required for graduation. This means supervised Church work during four terms of the Seminary course, or two summer terms or an internship year under the Board of National Missions, or similar supervision, would fulfill the requirement.
Under the Field Work Department students render service and obtain experience as pastors, supply preachers, church assistants, directors of Christian Education, workers in City Missions, members of Gospel Teams, the Seminary Choir and various other forms of Christian work and social service.
In addition to the direction of Field Work the Department supervises the Church participation required of those who receive service loans from the Board of Christian Education. Care is exercised that Field Work shall not interfere with the regular course of study nor with the maintenance of satis¬ factory academic standing. When a first year student assumes charge of a church the Seminary course is extended over a four-year period.
At the time of matriculation in the Seminary each student is required to fill out a blank which will be a permanent rec¬ ord of all Field service and a small picture should be provided for this blank. Preceptorials on Field Work are given in con¬ nection with the required course on Public Worship in Junior year and the course on Christian Education in Middle year. Outside work of any kind must be reported to the Depart¬ ment of Field Work before the service is begun.

THE LIBRARY
The Library, established in 1812, offers unusual facilities and resources for the use of theological students and research schol¬ ars. It now contains 169,959 bound volumes and 51,226 pam¬ phlets, including valuable portions of the libraries of Dr. Ashbel Green, Professor John Breckinridge, Dr. William Buell Sprague, Mr. Samuel Agnew, Professor J. Addison Alexander, Dr. John M. Krebs, Dr. Alexander Balloch Grosart, Professor William Henry Green, Professor Samuel Miller, Professor Benjamin B. Warfield, and Dr. Louis L. Benson. It currently receives about three hundred periodicals, exclusive of many continuations and publications of learned societies.
Its special collections are of great interest. The Louis L. Benson Collection of Hymnology, numbering over eight thou¬ sand volumes, presents superior facilities for the study of all fields of American and foreign hymnology. The Grosart Library of Puritan and Non-Conformist Theology, acquired in 1885, contains about two thousand volumes. The Sprague Collection is an unusually large collection of early American theological pamphlets. Over two thousand volumes and three thousand pamphlets on the Baptist controversy are accessible in the Agnew Collection. The Alumni Alcove, supported entirely by the dona¬ tions of authors, preserves the published works of the alumni as a perpetual testimony to the influential position of the Seminary in theological scholarship and general literature.
The Library is supported by an annual appropriation from the Gelston-Winthrop fund, and by restricted endowments of eighty- six thousand, one hundred and fifty dollars from Messrs. R. L. and A. Stuart, Mr. John C. Green, the Rev. Samuel M. Hamill, Mrs. R. L. Kennedy, Mary Cheves Dulles, Professor Theo¬ dore W. Hunt, Dr. Louis F. Benson, and several alumni.
The Libraries are open on five week-days from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 1 1 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. During vacations they are closed in the evenings, on legal holidays and on December 24 and 31, and during August.
The Library staff, in addition to the Librarian, consists of Miss Isabelle Stouffer, head cataloguer, Miss Agatha Brown, assist¬ ant cataloguer, Miss Elizabeth L. CrawfQrd, circulation as¬ sistant, Mrs. J. E. Baldwin, reference assistant, Miss Miriam Conover, secretary, and Mrs. B. H. Williams and Miss Lucy Palmatier, clerical assistants.
76
The alumni of the Seminary are entitled to borrow books by mail. Further information about this service can be obtained from the Librarian.
In accordance with the terms of the agreement between the Seminary and Princeton University, the students of the Seminary are granted the full use of the University Library.
THE THEOLOGICAL BOOK AGENCY
All text-books used in Seminary courses are available at the Seminary’s book room in the basement of Miller Chapel. A large and well-chosen stock of general religious books, both new and used, is carried at all times.
MUSEUM OF RELIGION AND MISSIONS
This collection, located on the third floor of Stuart Hall, has been established through voluntary gifts of objects to furnish illustrative material of practical value in the study of comparative religions, of the history of religion and of the methods and progress of the missionary enterprise. The non-Christian reli¬ gions are represented by idols from every part of the world, by examples of sacred books in the original text, and the section on “communion with the unseen” includes illustrative material on animism, magic, necromancy, ancestor-worship, sacrifice and prayer. The rosary collection assembled by the Rev. Cornelius H. Patton, D.D., of Boston, is one of the largest of its kind in the world. The Museum is open each afternoon from two to three o’clock.
FELLOWSHIPS
Fellowships have been established in the Seminary for the pursuit of advanced study in theology. In 1879 Mr. George S. Green of Trenton, N.J., founded a Fellowship for the encour¬ agement of advanced study in Old Testament Literature. In 1889 the Alumni of the Seminary contributed a fund for a Fellowship in New Testament studies. In 1891 Mrs. Elizabeth Robertson, of New York City, established the Archibald Rob¬ ertson Scholarship. In 1900 Professor William Henry Green, D.D., LL.D., by bequest provided a fund for Fellowship pur¬ poses. In 1905 by bequest of Mrs. Mary W. Winthrop, of New York City, the Gelston-Winthrop Memorial Fund was created and from this fund an annual appropriation was made by the Trustees for the maintenance of three Fellowships. In 1943 a
77
Fellowship was established on the Samuel Robinson Foundation. The Fellowships were reorganized in 1945 by the Trustees of the Seminary and five Fellowships established upon these foun¬ dations with an annual honorarium of one thousand dollars each. One of these Fellowships will alternate between Old Tes¬ tament Literature and Old Testament Biblical Theology; one between New Testament Literature and New Testament Bibli¬ cal Theology ; one between Apologetics and Systematic Theol¬ ogy ; and one between Church History and Ecumenics ; and one between Homiletics and Christian Education.

Scholarships
The Seminary has funds, contributed by generous friends, out of which it is possible to grant scholarships of varying amounts to worthy students requiring some aid to assist them in
84
meeting their expenses. Students interested in applying for these scholarships will receive the needed information from the Dean.
Presbyterian Board of Christian Education Scholarships
Presbyterian students needing aid should apply first to the Board of Christian Education through their Presbyteries. If the Board scholarship should prove insufficient, application should be made for special consideration from the scholarship funds of the Seminary.
Students receiving financial aid from the Board of Christian Education are obliged to engage in an approved project of Christian work. This project must be carried on during the school year. Juniors are not permitted to hold regular student charges. Extra-curriculum work must not jeopardize the aca¬ demic standing of the student. Students engaging in heavy schedules of outside work must arrange to devote four years to their Seminary training.
Scholarships for Graduate Study
Six scholarships of not more than five hundred dollars each will be awarded to outstanding students looking forward to grad¬ uate study in the Seminary, whether for the degree of Master of Theology, or of Doctor of Theology. These scholarships may be applied for by theological graduates irrespective of their semi¬ nary, denomination or nationality. Application for a graduate scholarship should be made to the Committee on Graduate Study, through the Dean.
Three scholarships of not more than a thousand dollars each will be awarded for graduate study to students from overseas. Application should be made to the Committee on Graduate Study, through the Dean.
Library Scholarship
One library scholarship, paying a stipend of eight hundred dollars for the year 1948-49, will be offered to a graduate stu¬ dent. The holder will be required to devote twenty hours a week to the bibliographic aspects of library work under the supervi¬ sion of the Librarian. Applications should be made to the Dean before May the first.
SPECIAL LECTURESHIPS
Two lectureships have been endowed which, through the pub¬ lication of the lectures as delivered or in expanded form, have
85
been productive of a considerable body of theological and mis¬ sionary literature.
The Stone Lectureship
In 1871, Levi P. Stone, Esq., of Orange, N.J., a Director and also a Trustee of the Seminary, created the foundation for a lectureship which, in accordance with his direction, has been applied annually since 1883 to the payment of a lecturer, chosen by the Faculty of the Seminary, who delivers a course of lectures upon some topic kindred to theological studies. In the years 1903 and 1906 the endowment was increased through the generosity of Mr. Stone’s sisters.
The Students’ Lectureship on Missions
The Students’ Course of Lectures on Foreign Missions had its inception in the minds of the undergraduates of the Seminary, and its endowment was secured largely by their efforts, liberally supported by the Rev. James S. Dennis, D.D. It was established in 1893, and provides for an annual course of lectures on some topic connected with foreign missions of practical importance to those looking forward to missionary work.
RELIGIOUS EXERCISES
The Seminary meets four days a week for morning prayers in the Chapel.
Two special days were devoted last year to the things of the spirit, during which all classes were suspended. A special Day of Prayer was observed on November 19th with a sermon in the morning by Dr. Piper, followed by group meetings in the afternoon for discussion and prayer, and a communion service in the evening conducted by Dr. Kuist and Dr. Macleod.
A Day of Convocation was held on February 4th with two ad¬ dresses by Dr. T. Z. Koo, Secretary, The World’s Student Christian Federation, on “The Role of Christianity in the Mod¬ ern World,” and a sermon at the evening meeting.
Various meetings for worship and discussion are maintained by the students, either as a body or by each class separately. On Tuesday evening a meeting for devotion and for instruction in general lines of Christian activity is held by the students at which, on invitation of the Faculty or by the students with the approval of the Faculty, addresses are delivered by men prominent in religious work.
86
During the session of 1947-48, on invitation of the Faculty, the following preached :
Wilbur LaRoe, Jr., Moderator of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., spoke in the First Presbyterian Church of Princeton.
The Rev. John R. Cunningham, D.D., President of Davidson College and Moderator of the General Assembly of the Pres¬ byterian Church, U.S.
The Rev. H. Ray Anderson, D.D., pastor of the Fourth Pres¬ byterian Church, Chicago, Ill.
The Rev. Robert J. McCracken, D.D., pastor of the Riverside Church, New York City.
Opportunities for active usefulness and observation of pas¬ toral life are afforded in Princeton and its vicinity. A large number of students regularly engage in the conduct of religious meetings, in Sunday School instruction, and in other kinds of Christian work. No member of the Junior Class, however, is permitted to hold a regular preaching engagement.
The Student Association
Every regularly enrolled student shall be considered a member of the Student Association of the Seminary.
The governing body of the Association is the Student Council composed of the Association officers; the chairmen of the com¬ mittees — religious activities, missionary, deputation, social, ath¬ letic, publicity; the presidents of the Junior, Middle and Senior classes and a representative of the Graduate Students ; and the president of each eating club.
The objects of the Association are: “To develop the spiritual, intellectual, physical and social life of the students of the Semi¬ nary through a unified program of campus activities. To promote mutual acquaintance and Christian fellowship among the students in the highest and best interests of the entire student body. To deepen harmonious relations with the Faculty and Administra¬ tion, by means of cooperation in the Seminary program and the proper presentation of student problems and opinions to Semi¬ nary authorities. To provide opportunities for the practical ex¬ pression of the Christian religion in social service in Princeton and vicinity. To foster sympathetic understanding between the student bodies of the Seminary and Princeton University. To bind the Student Association more closely to the work of the
87
World’s Student Christian Federation, through the Intersemi¬ nary Movement and other student organizations. To stimulate interest in and support of the missionary and ecumenical aspects of the Church of Christ.”
Under the auspices of the Student Association the following speakers delivered addresses in 1947-48:
Mr. Robert S. Bilheimer, Executive Secretary of the National Inter-Seminary Committee on the Inter-Seminary Movement.
Bishop Otto Dibelius of the Berlin Area Russian Zone on Con¬ ditions in Germany.
The Rev. L. K. Anderson, D.D., Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions on “The Challenge of Missions.”
Bishop Arne Fjellbu, of the Diocese of Nidaros, Trondheim, Norway, on the present situation in Norway.
The Rev. George E. Sweazey, Ph.D., Secretary of the De¬ partment of Evangelism of the Board of National Missions, on the New Life Movement.
The Rev. Anders Nygren, Th.D., Professor of Systematic Theology in the University of Lund, Sweden, on “Revelation and the Bible.”
Dr. Jessie Dell Crawford, on the New Curriculum of the Presbyterian Church.
The Rev. Liston Pope, Ph.D., Professor of Social Ethics, The Divinity School, Yale University, on “The Need for Chris¬ tian Social Vision.”
Seminary Choir
Musical organizations which touch the life of the whole in¬ stitution have been developed at Princeton Seminary. In keep¬ ing with this idea, three choirs in addition to the Seminary Male Chorus have been organized during the past eleven years. The largest of these is a Mixed Chorus of about ninety voices which sings three major programs each year. A women’s chorus, com¬ posed of twenty students from the School of Christian Educa¬ tion has been developed to provide music for one Chapel service each week and to sing on other occasions. The latest choir to be organized is the Children’s Inter-racial Choir of fifty voices, which participates with the adult choirs in the Christmas and Easter services and sings a program of hymns, conducted by the children themselves.
The Male Chorus sings within a radius of 300 miles of Prince-
88
ton in at least eighty churches each year. In September of 1946, before the regular season of school opened, the choir toured the southeastern states and Cuba; and following the regular aca¬ demic season of 1947 it took an extended tour through fifteen states and into the heart of Mexico. A seven weeks transcon¬ tinental tour to the northwestern states and Canada was taken during the summer of 1948 and more extensive tours are planned for the future in an effort to stimulate interest in National and Foreign Missions.
Koinonia
Koinonia is a society composed of students who are working towards their Doctor’s degree in Theology. Meetings are held from time to time during the academic year, at which diverse themes of theological interest are discussed.
Rooms
The rooms in the several dormitories are furnished with bed¬ stead, mattress, pillows, bureau, chairs, table, mirrors, bookcase, floor rug, and either a clothespress or a closet. Bed linen and blankets for a single bed and towels must be provided by the students themselves. Unless married the student is expected to room in one of the dormitories.
The drawing for the choice of rooms in the dormitories takes place at 3 p.m. on the first day of the session.
Rooms for Married Students
A limited number of unfurnished apartments for married students are available on the new campus, the rentals ranging from $320.00 to $545.00 for the academic year, depending on the size and facilities of each. While these apartments are rented on an unfurnished basis, the Seminary has considerable bed room furniture which a student may borrow without additional charge in order to supplement his own furnishings. Detailed arrange¬ ments regarding these apartments are made at the office of the Treasurer, priority being given to returning veterans and mem¬ bers of the upper classes.
A section of one of the Seminary dormitories has been re¬ served for married students without children. These couples have meals in a cooperative eating club, in which board is ap¬ proximately ten dollars a week per person.
89
Expenses
While a student’s expenses in the Seminary will naturally vary to some extent according to his personal habits, the following estimate is given of an average annual budget :
Room $100.00
Board (32 weeks in a student club) 336.00
Fees :
Tuition 200.00
Medical 9.00
Student Association 3.00
Voice Recording for Juniors 2.00
Books $25.00 to 50.00
Laundry 50.00
Incidentals 25.00
The regular tuition fee is two hundred dollars per year. In special cases a fee of seven dollars is charged for each credit hour.
Prospective candidates for admission should have in mind that there are a number of ways in which a student may earn part of his support during his life in Seminary. Some of these ways are : student charges (not open to Juniors), occasional preaching, service in the cooperative clubs, work in the library and on the grounds. The student’s attention is also called to the many prizes and fellowships offered.
Scholarship aid may be secured from the Board of Christian Education of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., by applying at the earliest date through the student’s Presbytery.
While it is not the policy of this Seminary to solicit students, and while, in the interests of the Church and its ministry, a rigor¬ ous, selective process is exercised in the acceptance of those who apply for admission, the Seminary is prepared to give the utmost support in its power to students duly admitted who may yet lack the necessary resources to pursue theological studies without financial assistance.
The Seminary has been approved as an institution where re¬ turning veterans, including Chaplains, may pursue further study under the “G.I. Bill of Rights.” For full details regarding the provisions of this bill or public law No. 16, one should write to the Veterans Administration of his own state.
90
Care of Health
In 1893 the Rev. William Lewis Moore of New York City and Mrs. Matthew Baird of Philadelphia, by gift of $3,750-00 established an endowment in the University Infirmary for the benefit of the Seminary in memory of William Lewis Moore, Jr. ; and in 1923 Mr. E. Francis Hyde of New York City, made a contribution of $25,000 on behalf of the Seminary towards the erection of the new Infirmary. The Seminary by an annual contribution toward the maintenance of the Infirmary has also assumed its share in the cost of operation so that men students of the Seminary may use the facilities of the Infirmary jointly with the students of the University upon the following terms which are prescribed by the University.
Every student who becomes ill must report at once to the Infirmary for examination by a staff physician. If taken ill in his room and unable to go to the Infirmary, a physician at the In¬ firmary should be notified immediately.
If special nurses are required they will be procured at the direction of the Medical Staff and controlled by the infirmarian and an extra charge will be made to the patient. A charge for special nursing is made for all contagious diseases. When one nurse takes care of more than two patients isolated for the same disease the nursing charges will be pro-rated.
When a student is confined to the Infirmary less than one week no charge is made for board. When he is in the Infirmary one week or more a charge is made at the rate of $11.00 per week.
Vacations
The summer vacation gives to students a suitable opportunity for engaging in preaching and in other religious work under the direction of the Department of Field Work, their pastors, presbyteries, or the Boards of the Church. Such work furnishes an important supplement to the training of the Seminary, afford¬ ing experience and familiarity with the active duties of the ministry, which will be invaluable as a part of the preparation for the sacred office.
A recess of two weeks is also taken at the Christmas season, and a recess of one week between the second and third terms.
Reports to Presbyteries
Annual reports of attendance and scholarship are sent to Presbyteries regarding students under their care.
9i

No. 2, issued in August, is the Annual Catalogue. Copies may be obtained without charge, on application to the Dean.
Theology Today
The Trustees of the Seminary have assumed financial responsi¬ bility for the publication of a theological review, Theology Today, the first number of which appeared on April 1, 1944. This quarterly religious journal, while not being in any sense an official organ of Princeton Theological Seminary, is edited by President Mackay, and aims to continue the best traditions of the famous theological quarterly which, for more than a cen¬ tury, was associated with the name of Princeton. Upon its Edi¬ torial Council figure a group of distinguished men, clergymen and laymen, belonging to the Presbyterian and other churches, professors in theological seminaries, colleges and universities, pastors and men engaged in diverse forms of Christian service. All mail for the Review should be addressed to Theology Today, Box 29, Princeton, N.J.
The Princeton Institute of Theology
Each summer during the month of July an Institute of The¬ ology is held for ten days upon the campus. The aim of the In¬ stitute is to provide instruction, inspiration, and fellowship for ministers and laymen. The Institute is attended year by year by men and women belonging to many different denominations who come to Princeton from all over the United States and Canada. The program provides courses of outstanding interest and im-
92
portance for the understanding of the Christian faith and its application within the framework of contemporary life. The dates of the Institute for 1949 are July 11 to 21. All inquiries should be directed to the secretary of the Institute Committee, Dr. J. Christy Wilson, Princeton Theological Seminary.
