Pittsburgh Seminary
Our History

The Pittsburgh Theological Seminary was created in 1959 by the con-
solidation of two institutions which had lived apart since 1825:
Pittsburgh-Xenia Theological Seminary (United Presbyterian Church
of North America) and Western Theological Seminary (Presbyterian
Church, U.S.A.).

Pittsburgh-Xenia Seminary was formed in 1930 by the union of
Pittsburgh and Xenia Seminaries. The Xenia branch had been founded
in 1794 in Western Pennsylvania but had spent most of its life in Ohio
and Missouri. The Pittsburgh branch originated in 1825 in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. Both branches were later augmented by the resources of
Newburgh Seminary which was founded in New York City in 1805 by
John Mitchell Mason.

Western Seminary, established legally in 1825 by the General As-
sembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), began with classical
academies founded by Joseph Smith (1785) and John McMillan
(1787) in Washington, Pa. It was indeed a "western" seminary in 1825,
whose task was to furnish a ministry for the rapidly opening western
territories along the Ohio River.

The union in 1958 of the United Presbyterian Church of North
America with the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America
and the subsequent merger of Pittsburgh-Xenia and Western Seminaries
were possible because of ancient bonds: the Bible, the reformers, and
the Scottish experience of witness and suffering. Church divisions in
Scotland were reproduced in America. Since 1800 the direction has been
steadily toward common witness with a resulting joining of schools.
Pittsburgh Theological Seminary is the issue of this growing fellowship
in Theological education.

The purpose of the Seminary as defined in the Constitution is to
educate suitable persons for the work of Christian ministry in its various
forms at the highest possible level of educational competence. Set down
in the midst of one of the key industrial centers of the nation, the
Seminary experiments in the city about it, wrestles with the nature of
the gospel, strives for eventful communication. The purpose of the Semi-
nary is clearcut: to know our time, the gospel for the healing of our
time, and the ministry for our time.

Pittsburgh

Our Environment

Pittsburgh Seminary is located in the workshop of America. Together
with the contiguous towns, Pittsburgh is one of the great industrial
centers of the world. Its population includes people of every nationality,
professon, and skill, and therefore it affords unexcelled opportunities
for the study of social, economic, political, and racial problems. Pitts-
burgh Seminary has working relationships with community and social
agencies, labor unions, business management, human development re-
search centers, teaching hospitals, etc., whereby these agencies and
organizations become further resources for the educating of theological
students.

The cultural and educational life of Pittsburgh is no less rich. Five
major colleges and universities are located in Pittsburgh: The University
of Pittsburgh, Carnegie-Mellon University, Duquesne University, Chat-
ham College, and Carlow College. Their facilities, programs, and libraries,
plus the Carnegie free libraries, afford added resources to all students.

For music and art there are the world-famous Pittsburgh Symphony
Orchestra; the Pittsburgh Opera Society; the Mendelssohn and Bach
Choirs and other choral and concert groups; the Pittsburgh Playhouse,
in its thirty-third year, which presents a total repertoire of plays; numer-
ous art galleries including the Arts and Crafts Center and the Pittsburgh
Plan for Art, both near the campus; and Carnegie Institute, which
houses one of the largest contemporary art collections in the country,
and which every third year presents the Pittsburgh International Ex-
hibition of Paintings and Sculpture. Begun in 1896, the Pittsburgh
International is one of the most important exhibitions of contemporary
art in the world.

Churches of all types and denominations are to be found, ranging
from the large urban congregation to the small rural or industrial
mission. Pittsburgh Presbytery is one of the largest presbyteries in the
United Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. Within its bounds are two hundred
eleven churches with a total membership of about one hundred twenty-
six thousand. Of these, about one-fifth have more than five hundred
members each, and mission work is conducted in over twenty different
places.

The Campus

Setting

Pittsburgh Theological Seminary is ideally situated to symbolize by its
very setting the church in the world. Located at the heart of a metro-
politan center of two and a half million people, it is bordered on one
side by an urban renewal project, including business and apartment
buildings, churches, and schools, and on the other side by a residential
area housing people of many ethnic backgrounds. By looking out almost
any window on campus, one sees not only the broad expanse of lawn
and trees of a once lovely estate given to the Seminary in 1951 by the
heirs of the late H. Lee Mason, Jr., but is reminded also of the world
in which the church lives and serves.

Buildings

New, modern buildings of American Colonial design, constructed of
Hampton Court Colonial red brick trimmed with Indiana limestone
and fireproof throughout, house the seminary activities.

The George A. Long Administration Building is the nerve center of
campus life. Here classrooms, seminar rooms, faculty and administrative
offices, a student center, a reception room, a Bible Lands Museum, a
speech center, and the mail room all constitute a beehive of learning and
social fellowship.

The Hicks Family Memorial Chapel, of pure Georgian design, stands
at the center of the campus, where the seminary community gathers for
worship and the renewal of spiritual life. It includes a large theater-type
auditorium, a few faculty offices and choir facilities, in addition to the
offices of the pastoral referral center.

The Clifford E. Barbour Library was built and furnished with funds
provided by the Sarah Mellon Scaife and Richard K. Mellon Founda-
tions. The library is air-conditioned throughout. There is easy access
to book resources located in four stack areas. One hundred and three
desk carrels placed in and around the book stacks are available to all
readers, in addition to which there are thirteen enclosed typing carrels
which allow greater privacy for research work. Twenty research study
rooms provide ideal conditions in which the faculty, visiting scholars
and graduate students may pursue serious scholarly endeavors. Several
study rooms and lounges, informally arranged, invite leisurely reading
for more than 75 persons aside from many areas devoted to special
purposes. Facilities are available for small seminar classes, conference
and group study lessons, audio-visual work, music listening, microfilm
reading, and hymnological and historical research.

On display in the Main Floor exhibit area are the desk and chair of
Dr. Karl Barth, Basel, Switzerland, presented to Pittsburgh Seminary
by Dr. Barth in 1964. Accompanying the desk at which Dr. Barth
wrote his theological treatises from 1922 is an autographed copy of his
Kirchliche Dogmatik I/I.

The following special collections augment the book resources :

The John M. Mason Memorial Collection

The research area of the library contains this priceless collection of

classical theological works dating from the Reformation period.

The James Warrington Collection of Hymnology

Several thousand valuable hymn and psalm books which came from
the estate of James Warrington, Philadelphia, provide research mate-
rials for scholars of American and English hymnody. Mr. Warrington
minutely analyzed the works by composer, meter tune, place, author,
title, etc.

The Nina S. Brittain Collection

Through the generosity of Frank J. Brittain, Esq., of Erie, Pennsylvania,
the sum of $5000 was used for the purchase of theological and related
works which are known as the Nina S. Brittain Collection.

The Clarence J. Williamson Church History Collection
In 1958 endowment funds were established, income of which is to be
used for the purchase of books in Church History and closely related
subjects. These books are in memory of Dr. Clarence J. Williamson,
a graduate of Pittsburgh Seminary, for fifty-one years a minister in the
United Presbyterian Church of North America, and for eighteen years
Professor of Church History and Government in the Pittsburgh-Xenia
Theological Seminary.

Historical Collections

A room of the library contains the Minutes and other records of Asso-
ciate, Associate Reformed, and United Presbyterian congregations,

presbyteries, synods, and General Assemblies. The library is also the
depository for the Upper Ohio Valley Historical Society and Pitts-
burgh Presbytery of The United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.

Housing

Single students are comfortably and commodiously housed in two
buildings connected to the Administration Building by a covered pas-
sageway on both the first and second floor levels. The George C.
Fisher Memorial Hall accommodates 80 men in single rooms. Six
apartments for employees and married students are also located on
the ground floor in this building. The John McNaugher Memorial Hall
provides for 63 men, with an additional wing which houses 25 women.
The dormitories have student lounges on each floor in addition to a
game room and a snack room on the ground floor. There are three
dining rooms served by a cafeteria, the larger of which has a seating
capacity of over 500; in addition, there are six guest rooms which
complete the dormitory complex.

Although student rooms are fully and comfortably furnished, students
must supply their own sheets, pillowcases, blankets, and towels, and
provide for their own laundering. Summer occupancy of dormitory
rooms is available by special arrangement.

Married students and their families are housed on campus in five
apartment buildings and a number of duplex houses.

The Highlander is a modern apartment building on Highland Avenue
near the northwest corner of the campus. It contains seventeen one
bedroom and six two bedroom units. Each apartment includes a living
room, kitchen, bath, and storage locker. These apartments are unfur-
nished, although all kitchens are equipped with electric ranges and
refrigerators. Laundry facilities (coin meter) are available in the
basement.

The Samuel A. Fulton Memorial Hall provides eighteen efficiency
and twenty-one two-room apartments. Each unit includes a kitchenette,
a bath, with a storage locker in the basement. These apartments are
fully furnished with desk, bookcase, dining table, chairs, davenport-bed,
a chest of drawers, wardrobe, electric stove and refrigerator. Students
must provide bedding, linens, silverware, china, cooking utensils, cur-
tains, lamps and rugs. Laundry facilities (coin meter type) are available
in the basement. A six-room, fully furnished apartment for the housing
of a missionary family on furlough is provided in Fulton Hall. It is
made available through cooperation with the Commission on Ecu-
menical Mission and Relations, to missionaries seeking fuller prepara-
tion for service on return to their various fields.

Anderson and McMillan Halls were completed for occupancy early
in 1968 and provide 31 unfurnished "town house type" apartments.
The buildings form a quadrangle with the existing two wings of the
Highlander. This may be used as an enclosed play area for children.
Anderson Hall includes 6 two bedroom and 6 three bedroom apart-

ments on three floors. A laundry and locker storage area is provided
in the basement.

McMillan Hall provides 19 apartments which include one four bed-
room, three three bedroom, 12 two bedroom, and 3 one bedroom
apartments. Again, there is a laundry (coin meter type) in the base-
ment together with ample locker storage space.

The apartments are unfurnished although a refrigerator and electric
stove are provided. These appliances are a permanent part of the
apartments and cannot be moved out to allow personal appliances.
All windows are equipped with shades and traverse rods. The walls
are an off-white neutral shade and the floors are covered wall to wall
with a wheat heather carpeting. On the ground level of McMillan Hall
a large community room has been provided for use as a children's
play-care room as well as a general activities room for the student
community.

The Sheridan Avenue Apartments are located on the campus at 519
Sheridan Avenue. This three story building contains 6 unfurnished
apartments for couples with children. Washers and dryers (coin meter
type) are installed in the basement.

There are a limited number of unfurnished apartments on campus
for students and families. Many of these houses will be eliminated
as there is assurance of adequate housing in other seminary facilities.

Life for married students and their families is as comfortable and
efficient as is possible in student apartments. Rents are well below the
commercial rates, shops and stores are within easy reach, public
transportation is available right to the seminary gate, and good schools
are nearby for children of school age.

The Bible Lands Museum

Pittsburgh Theological Seminary has an outstanding list of accomplish-
ments in archaeological research of Bible times in ancient Palestine. In
conjunction with the American Schools of Oriental Research at Jeru-
salem, in Jordan, it conducted an exploration at Bab ed-Dra at the
southern end of the Dead Sea in 1924. A series of joint excavations
was made at Kirjath-Sepher in 1926, 1928, 1930 and 1932. Bethel
became the site of research in 1934, 1954, 1957 and 1960, and a
significant project was carried out at New Testament Jericho and Nitla
in 1950. In 1964 the Kyle-Kelso Fund for Archaeological Research in
Jordan was established and joint projects with the American Schools
of Oriental Research were carried on at Gibeah of Saul in the summer
of 1964 and at Tell er Rumeith in 1967. This latter site may possibly
be that of Old Testament Ramoth Gilead.

In conjunction with Carnegie Museum and the Department of Antiq-
uities of Israel, through the Holy Lands Exhibition Fund, Pittsburgh
Theological Seminary conducted archaeological digs at the biblical site
at Ashdod in 1962, 1963 and 1965. Both students and faculty have
participated in the 1967 and 1968 Ashdod expeditions under the di-
rection of Dr. James Swauger of Carnegie Museum.

The archaeological work at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary was
inaugurated by Professor M. G. Kyle and was then carried on by Pro-
fessor James L. Kelso until his retirement in 1963. In the spring of
1964 Associate Professor Howard M. Jamieson, Jr., was appointed
Faculty Administrator of the Kyle-Kelso Fund. By action of the Board
of Directors in November, 1968, the Kyle-Kelso Fund is established
for the study of the peoples and culture of the Mediterranean Basin,
with special reference to he Judeo-Christian heritage.

With the coming of Dr. Paul W. Lapp to the faculty the archaeo-
logical program of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary has added a
significant new dimension. Having been involved in field archaeology
in the Middle East consistently since 1957, Dr. Lapp will direct future
field projects of the Seminary, including the participation of Doctoral
candidates, as well as B.D. students.

Much of the Seminary's share of the antiquities excavated in the
digs is now on exhibit in the Bible Lands Museum, which is located in
the administration building. The museum is used as a teaching facility
for the seminary program. The objects in the Bible Lands Museum
illustrate the way of life of the people of Palestine and so become of
great value for understanding and interpretation. Occasionally archae-
ological discoveries corroborate biblical statements, as in the case of
the fragments of a royal inscription of Sargon II of Assyria, found at
Ashdod, which relates to Isaiah 20:1. For the most part, however,
archaeological excavations illumine the cultural, social, economic, po-
litical and religious background of the Bible, supplying much data
for deeper understanding of the people and the land of the Bible.

Life on The Campus

Community Life

The social life of the campus is enhanced by the presence of single
students, married couples, and families. It is greatly enriched by those
students from the Orient, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Amer-
ica, etc., who come to study but also to share their cultures.

Missionary families spending their furloughs on the campus for study
bring to the community a sense of the Church ecumenical coupled with
a sense of urgency.

Admittedly, the emphasis in a theological seminary is not on social
activities, but interpersonal relationships run deep and the socializing
values are maintained by way of group get-togethers and periodical
school functions. A beautiful contemporary student center provides a
setting for community life on the campus. Located on the ground floor
of the administration building, it is a place for refreshment, campus
movies, group or class parties, and just a good place to get together.

The Women's Association, for all women on campus, provides op-
portunities for group participation in a varied program of study,
community activity, and social concern.

Convocations and Worship

Through the faculty-student Convocation and Worship Committee, out-
standing people are brought to the campus. Each fall and spring there
is a major lectureship in which a prominent person — theologian, Biblical
scholar, psychiatrist, writer, social thinker, and planner, etc. — is heard
by the seminary family. A list of some of these speakers from 1969-1970
is on pages 14 and 15 of this catalogue.

Church and Society

Ministry is done as well as studied at the Seminary. The student body
reaches out to the community through field education and various
laboratory assignments. Through the direction of the faculty-student
Church and Society Committee the entire Seminary community is in-
formed about current social issues and channeled into useful service.
Relations are maintained with settlement houses, urban renewal and
development offices, and with the churches of the city for work with
street gangs, housing programs, community organization, etc. The com-
mittee sponsors a tutoring program for neighborhood school children
and directs faculty and student involvement in direct social action in the
city and elsewhere in the nation.

The Student Association

The Student Association provides the organization through which the
students carry on a program of involvement in community life, deter-
mined only by the interest and concern of the students themselves. A
student Curriculum Committee meets with the faculty Curriculum Com-
mittee and is called upon to offer counsel and initiate continuing
curriculum evaluation. The Convocation and Worship Committee of
the Student Association directs the chapel program and consults with
the faculty Convocation and Worship Committee in the establishment
of lecture series and the selection of Convocation speakers. The student
Publication Committee shares in the publication of PERSPECTIVE,
PANORAMA, and THE DIRECTORY. An all-student publication,
UNOFFICIAL PERSPECTIVE, offers opportunity for the expression of
opinion and the examination of issues. The student Church and Society
Committee works with a similar faculty committee in a study of current
social problems. This joint committee also organizes student and faculty
action when deemed necessary. A student Social Committee and a stu-
dent Stewardship Committee direct activities in their respective areas of
concern.

The Executive Committee of the Student Association for the year
1969-1970 was led by William J. Rumsey, President, and Elizabeth
Y. Anderson, Secretary-Treasurer.

The Seminary Musical Program

The Seminary has a Men's Choir and a Mixed Chorus, both under the
direction of Mr. Howard L. Ralston, Assistant Professor of Church
Music. Auditions for membership in the Men's Choir are held in Sep-
tember. This group, carefully chosen and of limited number, sings for
daily chapel services and represents the Seminary from time to time
in churches within easy traveling distance. A more extensive tour is
undertaken in the spring when the choir presents a varied program of
sacred music in churches and colleges.

The Mixed Chorus is maintained for all those of the seminary com-
munity who enjoy singing. This group meets on Tuesday evenings and
presents a program at Christmas and in the spring, and sings at
commencement. There are many opportunities throughout the year for
soloists and instrumentalists.

One of the highlights of the seminary year is the James H. Snowden
Memorial Concert, established in 1964 by the late Dr. Roy R. Snowden
in memory of his father, a longtime former professor in the Seminary.
This annual event enriches the cultural life of the seminary community
by bringing to the campus Metropolitan Opera stars and other concert
artists of the highest rank.

Admissions Requirements

Pittsburgh Theological Seminary offers work on a graduate school level.
This presupposes a B.A. or B.S. degree from a regionally accredited
college or university, the degree work to have a substantial foundation
in the liberal arts. It also assumes that the student is ready to approach
theological education with an open, searching attitude. Pittsburgh Semi-
nary seeks that man or woman who is committed to the Christian
faith, emotionally suited for work in the Church and intellectually
capable of the most rigorous kind of academic discipline.

Pre-Seminary Studies

College courses prior to theological seminary should provide the cul-
tural and intellectual foundations essential to an effective theological
education. They should issue in at least three broad kinds of attainment.

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 and speak English clearly and correctly.
This purpose should also be cultivated in all written work.

(b) The ability to think clearly. In some persons, this ability is cul-
tivated through courses in philosophy or specifically 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.

2. The college work of a pre-seminary student should result in increased
understanding of the world in which he lives :

(a) The world of men and ideas. This includes knowledge of Eng-
lish literature, philosophy, and psychology.

(b) The world of nature. This is provided by knowledge of the nat-
ural sciences, including laboratory work.

3. The college work of a pre-seminary student should result in a sense
of achievement:

(a) The ability to think, to see relationships, to follow out logical
steps of an argument, to develop procedures for dealing with
problems. This ability is achieved in part through independent
study.

(b) The degree of his mastery of his field of study is more important
than the credits and grades which he accumulates.

The American Association of Theological Schools has prepared a list
of the fields of study with which the student should have acquaintance
before beginning seminary work. The liberal arts background is felt to
provide the best foundation for theological study. However, this in no
way precludes seminary study for the student with a background in
the sciences.

Foreign language is a tool of scholarship. At least one of the fol-
lowing languages is important for scholarly research: Latin, Greek,
Hebrew, German, French. If Greek is selected, it should be taken in
the final year of college or preferably in the last two years.

A college background in religious studies is desirable. Included in
such a study should be a thorough knowledge of the content of the
Bible. The pre-seminary student may well seek counsel of the seminary
in order most profitably to use the resources of his college.

Of the various possible areas of concentration, where areas of con-
centration are required, English, philosophy and history are regarded
as the most desirable, and, where the department is strong, religion.

At the beginning of the first year of seminary students will take
examinations in Greek, and basic English. Students showing a deficiency
in English will be required to remedy such deficiency before graduation.
The Greek examination is for the purpose of placement.

Procedure for Admission

Candidates seeking degrees may apply anytime after the junior year
is completed. Applications for September entrance must be made prior
to June 1; applications for January entrance must be made prior to
December 1st. All correspondence concerning admission to the seminary
should be addressed to the Director of Admissions. Applications are
considered by the committee when the following credentials are sub-
mitted :

( 1 ) A formal application.

(2) An official transcript from the registrar of the college or uni-
versity, showing grades for at least three years of college work.

(3) Mental capacity test. The Seminary normally will correspond
with the applicant's college concerning a mental capacity test.
If none is available, the applicant may be asked to take one
under seminary direction.

(4) An extensive (500-1000 words) statement in the applicant's
handwriting describing his family, educational, and religious
background, placing particular emphasis upon his motives for
desiring to enter the Seminary and the ministry.

(5) A personal interview with the Director of Admissions or another
representative of the Seminary who may be designated by the
Director of Admissions.

(6) A battery of psychological tests which will be forwarded to a
proctor as soon as the application form is received. These are
the same tests that Presbytery requires of all candidates. They
need to be taken only once.

(7) A medical report on a blank furnished by the Seminary.

(8) Application fee. A check or money order for $15.00 must
accompany the application. This will be applied to the first
semester's tuition. The application fee is not refundable.

After admission is granted and within thirty days of such notification,
a $35 placement fee is required to assure the applicant of a place in
the new class. This fee is applied on the student's tuition and is not
returnable except under extreme hardship and at the discretion of the
Admissions Committee. A certification of the student's "intention to
enroll" must accompany this fee.

Transfer Students

A student transferring from another seminary is required to submit, in
addition to the foregoing, a complete transcript of previous seminary
work and a letter of dismissal from the Dean or President. A transfer
student must be in residence at Pittsburgh Seminary for a minimum of
one full academic year in order to become a candidate for the Bachelor
of Divinity degree.

Foreign Students

Qualified applicants from other countries are welcome as a part of the
student body. Such applicants shall be required, in addition to the
regular requirements for admission, to give evidence of proficiency in
the English language before their admission. TOEFL (Test of English
as a Foreign Language) is the standard test used by the Commission
on Ecumenical Mission and Relations and the World Council of
Churches. The test is arranged through the Seminary or the Commis-
sion on Ecumenical Mission and Relations of the United Presbyterian
Church.

Such applicants shall have endorsement either of a representative of
the Commission on Ecumenical Mission and Relations (in those areas
where the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. has fraternal
workers) or the World Council of Churches (in other areas).

An applicant from another country is also asked to submit a letter
from his bank stating that there are on deposit sufficient funds to assure
his passage home after his period of study in this country. This saves
possible embarrassment to both the student and seminary at a later
time.

Matriculation

A final transcript showing the degree and date of graduation of the
applicant must be submitted to the registrar.

posit will be returned after satisfactory inspection at the time the apart-
ment is vacated.

Payment of Fees

All academic fees and expenses are payable in advance on the opening
day of each semester. When necessary, arrangements for a payment
plan to cover a semester's expenses may be made at the Business Office
on the first day of each term, permitting four (4) equal payments:
one-fourth on the first day of the term, and the balance due at the
beginning of the fourth, eighth, and twelfth weeks respectively. There
is a carrying charge of $5.00 for the deferred payment plan. Failure
to pay any deferred payment within ten days from the date due will
incur a penalty of 1 % of the amount due.

Settlement of all seminary bills is required before registration for a
new semester, and before graduation or the release of official transcripts.

Seminary Meals

Residents of the men's and women's dormitories are required to eat
in the seminary dining hall. Board includes nineteen meals a week; only
breakfast is served on Sunday. The dining hall is closed on holidays
which are scheduled on the seminary calendar. No deduction is al-
lowed for absence from individual meals, although special consideration
is given to students who regularly do not eat in the dining hall due to
job requirements.

Tuition Refunds on Courses Dropped

First week of semester, $1.00 withheld for each credit hour; balance

refunded.

Second to seventh week, one half refunded.

Seventh week on, no refund.

Medical and Hospitalization Insurance

Students are required to be insured by medical and hospitalization in-
surance acceptable to the Seminary. All students who are registered as
full-time students are eligible for such insurance under a group student
policy issued by Minister's Life and Casualty Company. Detailed in-
formation concerning premiums and benefits may be secured at the
Business Office.

Total Cost

The total cost for one academic year, based upon a survey of actual
student expenditures at Pittsburgh Seminary, is approximately $2,100
for an unmarried student and $3,000 to $3,250 for a married student
without children, depending on the variation in rentals. The cost for a
married student having children is correspondingly higher. These
totals include expenses for clothing, laundering and cleaning, medical
and dental care not covered by hospitalization insurance, incidentals
and recreation, as well as tuition, fees (hospitalization insurance pre-
miums included), board, room and books. Not included are automobile
operating costs, payments on purchases, life insurance premiums, re-
payment of indebtedness, and expenses for travel to and from the
Seminary.

Student Financial Assistance

Pittsburgh Seminary provides financial help from endowed and general
funds for students who demonstrate that their resources from their own
earnings and savings, their families, local congregations and presbyteries
are not sufficient to meet their Seminary expenses. Several merit schol-
arships are offered to entering students who have excellent academic
records in their pre-seminary work and who must have financial help.
Scholarship aid is also given according to need to upperclassmen whose
academic attainments in their seminary work are high. Loans, grants-
in-aid and remunerative campus work are also available as a part of
the Seminary's financial assistance program. Approximately fifty work
opportunities are available to students in the library, dining hall, and
student center, and as attendants for various campus facilities. The work
is limited to ten hours per week and the remuneration is credited to the
student's account or paid in cash. Once a student is admitted the Sem-
inary makes every effort to see that he need not drop out for financial
reasons.

The Board of Christian Education of the United Presbyterian Church,
through its office of Educational Loans and Scholarships, provides as-
sistance for United Presbyterian seminary students who demonstrate
financial need in two programs: (1) Loans ($100 to $1,000 in a given
year) and (2) United Presbyterian Study Grants (up to $1,000 in a
given year ) .

Specific details concerning scholarships, grants-in-aid, work assist-
ance, and loan funds, together with application forms for both Seminary
and Board of Christian Education programs, may be obtained from the
Financial Aid Officer.

The Sylvester S. Marvin Fellowship may be assigned upon graduation to
that member of the Senior Class who is recommended by the faculty as
having achieved the highest standard in all departments of the seminary
curriculum, provided that his average is not below 85%. The faculty
reserves the right to impose special tests and examinations in making
this award. It is offered to those who take the entire course of three years
in this institution. The recipient must pledge himself to a year of post-
graduate study immediately following his graduation at some institution
approved by the faculty. He is required to furnish quarterly reports of
his progress. The money will be paid in three equal installments on the
first day of October, January, and April. Prolonged absence from the
classroom in the discharge of extra-seminary duties makes a student
ineligible for the fellowship.

Jamison, Esq., of North Side, Pittsburgh, was established by Mrs. Jam-
ison. The income of this endowment is given every year to the member
of the Senior Class who has the highest average at the beginning of his
final semester of study.

The acceptance of this scholarship requires that the recipient spend a
full academic year in study in any graduate institution approved by the
faculty. If for any reason the man who is first in the class does not accept
the scholarship and its requirements the scholarship will be offered to
the student next in rank.

The Bachelor of Divinity Curriculum

Free to Learn: the Curriculum at Pittsburgh Seminary

Pittsburgh Seminary has a curriculum which gives each student free-
dom to plan his studies in light of his own background and his own aims.
The curriculum is a free elective plan. No courses are required, with the
exception of Greek and Hebrew which are essential tools for theological
work. Furthermore, there are no formal prerequisites, for this could be
merelv another wav of regimenting studies. Each student is free to study
what he needs to study when he wants to study it.

About fifty courses are offered each semester. How can a student,
particularly a first-year student, select four courses from such a wide
choice? Two advisers, one faculty member and one senior student, assist
each new student. The advisers are able to give him information about
the courses offered, to guide him toward courses which may be taken
for credit at area universities, and to assist him in the designing of his
overall plan of studies. The final responsibility for course selection lies
with the individual, however, and approval of the advisers is not required.

Courses offered at Pittsburgh Seminary fall into three divisions: (1)
biblical, which includes work in biblical history, literature, and theology,
(2) history and theology, comprising study in church history, the his-
tory of theology, and systematic theology, and (3) church and ministry
which encompasses ethics, preaching, counseling, christian education,
contemporary literature, drama and other fields. In order to insure that
a student's work does not become too narrow, he must do at least fifteen
hours of work (five three-hour courses) in each division. However, he
is free to choose the courses he wishes to take within each division.

Getting into the Curriculum

The curriculum is designed so that a student can begin his studies in a
given area, such as systematic theology, at more than one point. For
example, in systematic theology four "introductory" level courses are
offered each year. Each of these courses approaches theology from a
different perspective. One course focuses on contemporary issues in
theology, while a second deals with the resources and skills necessary to
the theological discipline. Another course examines the presuppositions
and structure of several theological systems, and still another deals with
the ways in which theological concerns are brought to bear on contem-
porary social and cultural concerns. There is no "one way" to start the
study of theology. One of these approaches may be best for one student,
but not for another. Only the student himself can decide.

Similar diversity is provided in each of the three divisions. Thus a
student can begin his work in an area at the point which most concerns
him. Furthermore, a student who has a special interest in one area of the
curriculum is able to enter his graduate work at that place. For instance,
a student who is deeply concerned with ethical problems is able to begin
his theological studies in this field.

Introductory level courses are offered, but are not formal prerequisites
to advanced work. If a student has taken religious studies courses in
college, there is no reason for him to repeat such work in seminary. He
is free to build upon his undergraduate work by moving directly into
more specialized study. However, if a student has done no previous aca-
demic work in a given field, it may be wise for him to elect an introduc-
tory course.

Independent Study

Independent study is encouraged at Pittsburgh Seminary, and may be
undertaken as early as the first semester. Students are free at any time
to work on issues which capture their interest. Independent study in-
volves close tutorial work with a member of the faculty. In periodic
meetings, the faculty member can guide, question and encourage the
student. Independent study should not imply isolation, however. Inter-
action with others, whether faculty or students, is vital.

Seminars provide the occasion for students who are grappling with
an issue to confront each other with challenges and new ideas. It is for
this reason that seminars rather than lectures are the norm at Pittsburgh
Seminary. Independent study and seminars are complementary ways
of searching for answers to questions, and each student is free to de-
termine which approach is best for him on a given issue.

Non-Theological Study

Pittsburgh Seminary offers a number of joint degree programs with the
University of Pittsburgh in the fields of social work, urban affairs, edu-
cation, and library science as well as the B.D./Th.M. sequence within
the Seminary itself. The freedom of the Seminary's curriculum facilitates
the operation of these programs.

Students who do not wish to enter the joint degree program but do
want to examine issues in politics, literature, sociology and other disci-
plines may take graduate courses at several area colleges and universities
for credit at the seminary.

You are Free to Learn

You are an individual with your own background, interests and purpose.
At Pittsburgh Seminary you are free to design your own program of
studies. The entire range of course offerings is open to you, and you
are able to engage in independent research and university study. Metro-
politan Pittsburgh offers many field education opportunities from which
you may choose in light of your concerns. Pittsburgh Seminary's curric-
ulum sets you free to learn.

The Master of Religious Education Curriculum

The Master of Religious Education program, open to both men and
women, is designed primarily to prepare them to serve the Church of
Jesus Christ as directors or ministers of Christian education in local
congregations, as curriculum writers and fraternal workers, as well as to
provide them background for related professional and service vocations
such as public school education, social work, nursing and the nursery
school.

The Master of Religious Education curriculum is a two year program
including both theory and practice among the disciplines of Bible, his-
tory, theology, and the teaching ministry. That the office of teaching has
fallen into disrepute and has come to be associated largely with methods
is manifest. The recovery of the office will come through Biblical and
theological competence coupled with the art and. skills of communi-
cation. To know the Bible the student must enter into the world of the
Bible and gain a "feel" for its idiom of thought, expression, practice.
Courses in church history, history of doctrine, and theology will also
contribute to the needed competence. By taking the basic courses of
theological education an M.R.E. candidate is prepared to work side by
side with pastors, sharing a common understanding of the total ministry
of which education is a part, and performing that ministry with profes-
sional competence.

Within this program the teaching office is lifted up and emphasized
for the M.R.E. candidate. The B.D. Church and Ministry courses are
especially adapted so that the student whose vocational interest is
Christian education can explore the philosophy and theology of, as well
as develop methodological and administrative skills in, that special min-
istry. Throughout the two year course the student will be involved in
Christian Education theory and practice. Field education practicum is
offered each semester and is closely geared with class work.

Church History and History of Doctrine

Our aim in teaching Church history is to help the student to understand
the history of the Church and its thought in the context of the 20th
century. The study of history is the study of roots whether we deal with
the history of a nation, a race, or an idea. Since Christianity comes to a
focus in certain historical events, its roots are firmly grounded in history.
Its story is the account of the effect which those events have had in
human society. This involves both the history of doctrine as the Church's
attempt to understand the significance of the biblical revelation, and
the history of the Church itself as the attempt of Christians to live in
response to those events.

But we recognize two kinds of interaction that are important for our
understanding of the Church today. First, we recognize that there has
always been a dialogue between the Church and the society within
which it is placed. Secondly, there is an integral relationship between
the doctrine that the Church professes and the forms that it takes as a
human community. All the courses offered recognize these two kinds of
continuing interaction.

The history of the Church is divided into six main areas at the intro-
ductory level: Patristics, the Medieval Church, the Reformation, the
Post-Reformation Era (17th and 18th centuries), the Church in an
Age of Revolution (19th and 20th centuries), and the Church in Amer-
ica. It is hoped that in selecting several of these areas to be studied in
depth (original documents wherever possible), the student will broaden
the interest in and understanding of his Christian heritage. Other courses
and seminars are offered which will enable him to pursue this history
at a deeper level once his initial interest has been aroused.

Systematic Theology

The purpose of systematic theology is to try to achieve a reasoned
understanding of the meaning and implications of Christian faith in
relation to contemporary modes of thought. Theological thinking looks,
on the one hand, to the original sources of Christian faith, the biblical
writings, and to the whole range of Christian tradition which represents
the church's attempts to understand its faith in previous periods of his-
tory. On the other hand, theology looks to the practical tasks of
responsible preaching, teaching, counseling, and the problems of ethical
judgment and action in today's world. Thus, the courses in systematic
theology aim not merely at confronting the student with the thought of
other theologians, but to engage him in doing his own theological think-

ing. They will help him to come to terms with the historic traditions of
the church as well as the sometimes bewildering but often exciting cur-
rents in contemporary theology: the "death of God" theologies, calls
for a "black theology," the "theology of hope," process theology, and
the discussions in the ecumenical movement and renewed Protestant-
Catholic relationships. They are designed to give the student ample
opportunity and guidance in sorting out his own beliefs and developing
a sound theological basis for future ministry.

The offerings in systematic theology are divided into "A level" and
"B level" courses. The "A level" courses are introductory in nature.
They attempt to familiarize the student with the task of theology, theo-
logical resources and method, and contemporary theological issues. The
"B level" courses are designed to take the student into deeper levels of
analysis of theological questions and to involve him in the work of con-
structive reformulation of the content of the Christian faith. "A level"
courses do not presuppose seminary courses in the biblical and historical
fields. "B level" courses do presuppose knowledge such as is provided
in introductory courses in those fields. It is recommended that students
take at least one "A level" and two "B level" courses in systematic
theology during their B.D. studies.

University in such fields as Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology, Phi-
losophy, Social Work, Urban Affairs, Administration, Speech, and elec-
tive credit transferred to the seminary.

Field Education

The broad objective of Field Education in Pittsburgh Theological Sem-
inary is to complement the academic work of each student with experi-
ences through which he may expand and deepen his understanding of
contemporary culture and the life of the Church, both in its parish set-
ting as well as in its specialized ministries. During the Junior year the
students are encouraged to participate in churches as laymen. Middlers
may elect field education. If so, they are assigned to selected Teaching
Churches so that they may learn about and participate in the ministry
under the supervision of Teaching Pastors. This field experience pro-
vides the matrix for integrated discussion with studies at the Seminary,
e.g., Psychological Foundations, Counseling, Homiletics and Liturgies.
After the Middler year students may elect to participate in the Intern
Program, an approved year of experience and study away from the Sem-
inary. Seniors are encouraged to undertake specialization and/or experi-
mentation. All field assignments are made through the Field Education
Office.

The industrial, cultural, educational and religious environment of the
Pittsburgh area makes possible the cooperative development of field
education assignments to fit the needs of each seminarian. For example,
a student serves as an assistant chaplain at the State Correctional Insti-
tution. Opportunity is given to initiate and administer coffee house pro-
grams. One student is an assistant hospital chaplain. Another works with
the Public Defenders Office. Others are assigned to an ecumenical min-
istry designed to meet the needs of a large inner city area. A further co-

operative program of six denominations provides student experience
which focuses on urban problems related to an area which includes a
ghetto, university community, high rise apartments and hospital com-
plex. Students serve as "Friends of the Defendant" in City Court. A
Community Agency that works with disturbed teenagers provides a
learning opportunity. A student discovers urban problems as he serves
with a Neighborhood Development organization in an inner city area.
An Assignment to the youth ministries division of the Pittsburgh Coun-
cil of Churches offers opportunity for involvement with mass media.
Churches representing every segment of the sociological and theological
spectra are available.

Every student is encouraged to spend one summer in field education,
preferably in some form of clinical training. Students who choose and
qualify for clinical training in approved programs will be given two
hours of elective credit for each six weeks of clinical training to a maxi-
mum of four credit hours. For students who do not choose or do not
qualify for a clinical training program a number of options without any
elective credit are allowed (such as national park chaplaincies, Board
of National Missions assignments, assistantships, etc.), upon consulta-
tion with and approval by the Field Education Office.

Any student seeking a church-related position for the summer must
counsel with the Field Education Office so that provision may be made
for supervision on the field. Summer pastorates for students who have
completed only their Junior year are discouraged because such students
will not have had the courses in Church and Ministry dealing with the
preaching, teaching, and pastoral office.

The Master of Theology Degree

The Th.M. degree represents a strong program of graduate education.
The program is offered to benefit pastors who wish to deepen their
ministry, as well as to help prepare candidates for specialized ministries.
It is designed in the interest of developing an increasingly learned and
relevant ministry. The degree is awarded upon the fulfillment of require-
ments under a variety of options. The program may be undertaken in
sequence with the B.D. degree curriculum, or as a post B.D. option.

The B.D.-Th.M. Sequence

Students enrolled in the B.D. program at Pittsburgh Theological Semi-
nary may, at the end of their middler (2nd) year, apply for admission
as candidates for both a B.D. and a Th.M. degree. This sequence requires
one year of study beyond the normal three year B.D. program, but can-
didates accepted for the program may utilize their third and fourth years
as a unit within which to correlate the completion of the requirements of
both the B.D. and the Th.M. degrees. The emphasis is upon independent
study, and this program enables each candidate to work out his plan of
study with a high degree of freedom and to adopt a sequence in his
required and elective course work which best serves his interests.

The Post-B.D. Course

Those already holding a B.D. degree from an accredited seminary may
apply for admission to the Th.M. degree program. It is possible for a
candidate to fulfill the requirements for the degree in one to three years
of study depending upon whether he undertakes his program on a full
time or a part time basis.

Th.M. Degree Optional Programs

Candidates will choose one of the several options described below:

1. The Generalization Option-

This program is designed to enable the candidate to deepen his
mastery of the theological disciplines as these are presented under the
three divisions of the faculty: Biblical, Church and Ministry, History-
Theology. Independent study is emphasized so that only six hours of
elective course work (two courses) are required. Candidates must
pass a comprehensive examination as the final requirement for the
degree.

2. The Specialization Options-

Candidates desiring to follow a particular interest may choose one
of three fields of study: Advanced Pastoral Studies, Biblical Studies

guages shall be required of him or may require an additional foreign
language in view of his special interest or thesis topic.

Candidates will be assigned appropriate faculty advisers who will be
available for consultation early in their programs. When a candidate in
a Specialization Option is ready to begin his thesis work, a Thesis Com-
mittee will be appointed to provide counsel as he fulfills that requirement.
The Statute of Limitations is four academic years from the date of
matriculation for candidates entering the program at the beginning of
the B.D. senior year, and three academic years from the date of matricu-
lation for all other candidates.

is pulled together in dialogue between theology and the human sciences,
especially psychology and psychiatry. Such themes as God, man, sin,
redemption are dealt with. Pastoral care, informed theologically and psy-
chologically, becomes the vantage-point for taking a hard look at church
programming: its relevance, its resources, etc. A primary concern is to
ask what the church can do in its supportive and preventive roles as
well as in its redemptive and recreative roles.

M602. Group Process. An examination of factors influencing com-
munication in small groups. Through reading and discussion variables
will be identified. Through group interaction the class will become a type
of laboratory to experience some of the concepts of group process.

M603. The Socio-cultural Environment. This course deals with the
ecological and cultural factors which make functional and dysfunctional
contributions to personality and community development. It will empha-
size the role of institutions (including the family), and power structures
in their direct and indirect effect upon the individual.

M604. Counseling Seminar. Each student is required to work with
four counselees, under supervision, and to participate in the presentation
of case material.

M605. Counseling Seminar. Continuation of M604.

M607. Practicum with Children. This practicum is conducted at the
Arsenal Child Study Center. Interpretive seminars are held regularly.

2. Language

The A.P.S. faculty may designate which of the languages is to be
required, or may require a reading knowledge of an additional lan-
guage if the study program or thesis subject makes it necessary.

3. Clinical Training

A six weeks' course in an approved clinical training program will
be required before graduation. It is recommended that it be taken
previous to admission.

4. Thesis

A thesis or research project on a subject approved by the program
faculty is to be prepared and submitted. The candidate must also
sustain an oral examination on his thesis or research project.

A Joint Program Leading to BD - MSW Degrees

Theology and social work share many attributes in common. These
include certain concerns and objectives, social values, and a mission to
improve living. Historically, much that we call social work today had its
beginnings in religion. Around the turn of the century the first settlement
houses, the first "off the street" programs of foster child-care, etc. were
milestones in the beginning of applied social diagnosis. In the methods
for helping people overwhelmed by circumstance and inner need, they
marked a momentous transition — from indiscriminate "poor relief" to
programs of prevention and cure which attempt to go to the heart of a
problem. At the center of these programs were to stand, eventually, the
particular community need to be met, the specific group relationship to
be fostered, and the individual troubled human being to be understood
in all his uniqueness. These are the three concerns of social work today.

In little more than half a century, social work has become a profes-
sion whose helpful intent is reinforced by highly developed skills. Its ex-
perience was forged in part from the crisis of two World Wars and a
protracted depression. Its knowledge and methodology have expanded
through its own research and through the findings of the social sciences,
psychiatry, medicine, law — in short, through every discipline whose con-
tributions help prevent breakdowns in social functioning.

Today social casework, group work, and community work are prac-
ticed in dozens of settings where human needs come into focus; in
hospitals, psychiatric clinics, family welfare agencies, schools, correc-
tional institutions, youth development centers, housing projects, and
community planning councils. (*)

Currently, many clergymen are involving themselves and their churches
in the improvement of the human condition along lines paralleling social
work efforts. Interest in pastoral counseling and family educaton is high.
Ministers of all denominations are involved actively in neighborhood
and community work and are making notable contributions in civil
rights and anti-poverty programs. Young clergymen and theological
students want to be equipped to serve in the area of social work in addi-
tion to the more traditional church duties.

In the past, a student with such a career interest had to enroll in a
theological seminary and upon graduation then register in a school of
social work; or some students acquired social work degrees first and
then succeeded to church work; others have been thwarted by the sepa-
rateness of education for these two related fields, and did the best they
could. To acquire both a BD and an MSW has usually taken five years.

To encourage and to equip young people to engage in social work
both in and out of the church, and to provide the opportunity for social

(*) Part of this write-up is taken from the Bulletin of the Graduate School of
Social Work.

work students who feel a call to practice within a church setting, the
Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and the University of Pittsburgh Grad-
uate School of Social Work have developed a program offering a joint
degree, that is, a BD-MSW.

This joint effort enables students to receive both the BD and the
MSW in four years of post BA study instead of the usual five. Neverthe-
less, the joint program will provide students with a full course of study
in both theology and social work. This result is effected by equating
certain courses now taught in both schools as equivalent, by allowing
courses in one school to be taken as electives in the other, and where
appropriate by developing specialized field placements. Field work op-
portunities will be arranged to meet best the interest of the student. The
program allows students to concentrate on theology in the first two
years and on social work in the third and fourth years.

A student at the Seminary wishing to pursue the four year integrated
program should request it by the end of his third term at the Seminary.
Students in the School of Social Work must request the joint program
by their second term in that school. The admission requirements to each
institution are the same as for other students. The student entering the
joint program must be admitted by both institutions.

Should a student elect to terminate at the end of two or three years
and seek only one degree that student will be required to complete all
of the work ordinarily required for that degree in the school which
grants it.

In order to give breadth without sacrifice of depth, theological stu-
dents in the joint program will have the opportunity to study two social
work methods and in some instances to have field experiences in all
three direct service approaches, i.e., social casework, social group work,
and community work in the more than 100 community agencies that
cooperate with the Graduate School of Social Work.

Student tuition is the same as for other students enrolled in each
school. Financial assistance for students who are enrolled full-time at
the Seminary is the responsibility of the Seminary.

The Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and the University of Pittsburgh
Graduate School of Social Work are joining forces in order to better
educate students whose interests lie in carrying out social work functions
in and through the church and those who seek to introduce more spirit-
ual focus in social work in the agency programs in this nation and
abroad. To this end, a joint program leading to a joint degree is being
offered. The program will prepare students to serve people better.

A Joint Program Leading to the B.D. and M.P.A.
or M.U.R.P. Degrees

To prepare seminary students with insight into, and competence in,
urban problems the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs
of the University of Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh Seminary have estab-
lished a joint program leading to both the Bachelor of Divinity degree
and a Master's degree either in Public Administration or in Urban and
Regional Planning. A student would take five terms of work in the Semi-
nary. In his sixth semester he would embark upon 8 months of field
work under the supervision of GSPIA faculty in some urban profes-
sional area. During this term and through the summer he might take
electives at either school, possibly as many as two courses at any one
time. The fourth year he would spend all of his time in the Graduate
School of Public and International Affairs in a three-term program. By
way of some interchange of course credit he should be able to complete
requirements for both his Bachelor of Divinity degree and his Master's
degree in urban affairs in four years. Both degrees, when earned, would
be conferred at the end of the total program.

Students would elect this joint Master Degree program during their
second year at the Seminary. It is expected that this joint program would
help to train persons for the parish ministry with particular urban
awareness and skills as well as to prepare students with specialization in
urban problems. This program will also help those students who may
want a specialized ministry instead of the more traditional parish min-
istry.

In addition to the degree program seminary students may elect cer-
tain courses in the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs,
and more especially in the Department of Urban Affairs, to increase
their own sensitivity into the nature of urban problems and to obtain
some understanding of their role and the role of the church in working
with the problems of the city. When such courses are elected, the credit
will be accepted by the Seminary as elective credit. Normally, students
will need to have a B average in order to elect such courses.

The Department of Urban Affairs, Graduate School of Public and
International Affairs, offers programs leading to Master's degrees in
the following fields :

Urban and Regional Planning (M.U.R.P. degree)

Community Policies Emphasis;

Systems Analysis and Urban Behavior;

Physical-Environmental Emphasis.
Urban Development and Renewal (M.P.A. degree)
Urban Community Development (M.P.A. degree)
Urban Executive Administration (M.P.A. degree)
Metropolitan Studies (M.P.A. degree)

These programs are all professional in character. The planning pro-
gram, with three emphases to choose from, is recognized by the Amer-
ican Institute of Planners. The four administration sequences emphasize
implementation of plans and development of effective programs for
urban change. Students in the joint program may choose to specialize
in any one of these fields. (For further details, consult the G.S.P.I.A.
Bulletin.)

A Cooperative Program
with the School of Education

Degree of Master of Education (M.Ed.)

The M.Ed, course of study in religious education is designed for those
students with an accredited Bachelor's degree and an undergraduate
major in the fields of religion, philosophy, religious education, or their
equivalent, to provide further depth, understanding and technical skills
for work in local churches or religious agencies.

This degree is offered by the School of Education of the University of
Pittsburgh in cooperation with Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. It will
be conferred by the University upon the completion of a course of study
which will include approximately 36 hours of course work divided be-
tween the University and the Seminary, normally 18 hours at each
institution, but not less than 12 hours at the Seminary. Students will be
expected to meet the basic course requirements of the School of Educa-
tion at the University of Pittsburgh. Course of study will be tailored to
meet the student's individual vocational needs in the light of his previous
academic experience.

Ordinarily the student's University courses will include studies in the
general history and philosophy of education, educational research and
elective courses in religious education. In addition, students may take
some course work in such areas as: urban education, comparative or
international education, elementary or secondary education. At the
Seminary the student may choose course work in the area of biblical
studies, theology, church history, and christian education.

Housing may be arranged at either institution.

A Joint Program Leading to the
BD-MLS Degrees

The Graduate School of Library and Information Sciences of the Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh Seminary have initiated a joint
program to train librarians in theological librarianship. The program,
spread over three and one-half to four academic years, will culminate in
two degrees: B.D. and M.L.S.

The Seminary will accept 14 hours in elective credit from the
M.L.S. degree toward the B.D. degree and the following courses will
constitute those hours:

LS 100 — Introduction to Librarianship 2 hours

LS 244 — Resources in the Social Sciences 3 hours

LS 245 — Resources in the Sciences 3 hours
LS 267 — Languages for the Library and

Information Sciences 3 hours

Plus one course from the following three to be offered by the Seminary:

911 — Resources in the Theological Library 3 hours

266 — Theological Bibliography 3 hours

471 — Critique of Sources 3 hours

The Graduate School of Library and Information Sciences will accept
toward its M.L.S. the two remaining courses to be taught at the Semi-
nary and listed above. The total M.L.S. hours will be 29 at the Uni-
versity and 9 at the Seminary.

This will be a joint program in which a student opting for the pro-
gram must finish the joint course of study before he is awarded either
degree. In case he does not finish the program, he will be required to
fulfill all of the B.D. program as outlined by the Seminary or all of the
M.L.S. program as outlined by the University.

The Cooperative Graduate Program

in the Study of Religion

The University of Pittsburgh

and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary

The University of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary
have a cooperative graduate program in the study of religion. Inter-
disciplinary in character, the program draws upon the resources of both
institutions and leads to the Ph.D. degree, awarded by the University
of Pittsburgh.

The aim of the program is to foster interdisciplinary and creative
study in the biblical, historical, theological, and ethical fields broadly
conceived. To this end, the student is encouraged to move beyond the
necessary preliminary steps as quickly as possible to independent re-
search in his own special area and to the writing of a dissertation which
is deemed, both by the joint faculty and by an external examiner, to be
a contribution to human knowledge. A second and no less important
aim is to engage the student, if possible, in actual teaching and research
assistance, under the direction of the faculty. The number of candidates
will be deliberately limited to afford close supervision by the directing
professors.

Program

A. Residence and courses

Full residence for a minimum of four terms is required for the degree.
In this time, a student will be expected to take at least eight one-term
courses (or equivalent) and undertake one half term (or more) of dis-
sertation research. The eight courses will be distributed as follows:

1. Two interdisciplinary courses (taught by the seminary faculty
and/or University of Pittsburgh faculty) required of all students.

2. Two courses in a University field;

3. Two courses in the candidate's field of specialization (other
than those satisfying requirement 2);

4. Two electives (either in the field of specialization or in cognate
fields).

B. Examinations

1. Not later than the second term of matriculation and preferably
at the beginning, preliminary examinations in biblical studies,
church history and history of doctrine, theology, ethics and his-
tory of religions will be required of each candidate who pos-
sesses a B.D. degree. (Two University fields may be substituted
with the approval of the Administrative Committee. )

2. Language examinations will normally be required in French and
German, and in such other languages as necessary for research
in the student's chosen field of specialization. Petitions to sub-
stitute other languages will be decided on the merits of each
individual case.

3. The comprehensive examination (taken at the completion of
all prior examinations and course work) will be directed to-
ward the field of the student's eventual specialization. Of the
four fields covered, one will be in that specialization and one
each in areas respectively appropriate to departments in the
two cooperating institutions.

C. The Dissertation

Chief emphasis will be placed upon the dissertation itself and upon
the preparation of the candidate for its writing. He will be under the
direction of a working committee consisting of his thesis adviser and at
least three other members representing related disciplines. The thesis
will be defended orally by the candidate.

Admission

The program requires for admission either a Bachelor of Divinity or
suitable master's degree or equivalent. Application forms for admission
and financial aid may be obtained by writing to either institution, but
preferably to the University of Pittsburgh :

Dean Richard H. McCoy or Professor Ford Battles

Faculty of Arts and Sciences Faculty Adviser, Ph.D. program

University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary

Room 1028-H 616 North Highland Avenue,

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15206

In addition to the usual transcripts and letters of recommendation,
applicants will be expected to provide scores on (preferably) the Grad-
uate Record Examination or (alternatively) the Miller Analogies Test,
as well as a seminar paper or other evidence of scholarly research
experience.

Financial Aid

Some financial assistance is available. Awards will be made on the
basis of merit and need. Students desiring consideration for assistance
may apply on a special form, furnished at their request, at the time of
application for admission.

Continuing Education

Under the direction of the Graduate Education Committee continuing
education is fast assuming a major place in the life of the Seminary.
Over 300 pastors in the Pittsburgh, Erie and Blair-Cambria Counties,
Pennsylvania, and Canton, Ohio areas participate in Eight Weeks
Schools. A distinctive feature, and the catalyst that precipitates a truly
vital learning experience, is the active participation of pastors from over
a dozen denominations who make up a majority of those enrolled.

The Eight Weeks Schools

At the Seminary. For eight Tuesdays in October and November, and
again in February and March, the regular faculty offers courses in a
wide range of areas but always with particular relevance to ministry,
whatever its forms (pastoral, administrative, etc.). For example, the
following courses were offered last fall: New Testament Greek Refresher
Seminar, Ideas in the Black Revolution, Preaching from the Great
Literary-Existential Plots and Parish Pastor- Administrator: Specialized
Form of Ministry. Frequently, outside faculty from the University of
Pittsburgh and from other universities teach special courses. Each class
runs one hour and fifteen minutes and a registrant may take up to three
courses. Announcement of course offerings is made in PANORAMA,
the quarterly bulletin, as well as in brochure form. The fee of $5.00 per
course includes the use of the library. Inquiries should be directed to
William P. Barker, Director of Continuing Education.

At Canton, Ohio. Each fall the Seminary conducts an eight week session
for pastors of this area, with the same format and two courses as listed
above. Other schools in other areas will be announced as they are de-
veloped. A special announcement and registration form may be secured
from the Registrar of the Canton School of Theology, Christ U. P.
Church, Canton, Ohio, or from the Director of Continuing Education
at the Seminary.

At Loretto, Pa. Each fall the Seminary also conducts an eight week
session for pastors in cooperation with St. Francis Roman Catholic
Seminary. This school seeks to serve pastors and priests in the Blair-
Cambria County area and, patterned after the Canton School, offers
two courses. A special announcement and registration form may be
secured from the Director of Continuing Education.

At Erie, Pa. The Seminary has begun an eight week session in the fall
for pastors in Northwestern Pennsylvania, patterned after the schools
at Canton and Loretto, also offering two courses. A special announce-
ment and registration form may be secured from the Director of Con-
tinuing Education.

The Center for Pastoral Studies Training Program

The Center for Pastoral Studies, a program of training, research and
referral for clergymen of all faiths, which opened September, 1968,
offers a training course which runs for thirty weeks. This program
offers a limited number of clergymen the opportunity to acquire coun-
seling experience in a supervised setting with individuals referred to the
Center. Each week clergymen participating in the course attend a one
hour teaching session, followed by an hour and a half seminar for case
study with a psychiatric consultant and a pastoral consultant. Tuition
for the training course is $60.

Ministry in After-care

In addition to the thirty week training course of the Center for Pastoral
Studies, the Seminary cooperates with Woodville State Hospital to
sponsor a special project for five pastors. This project offers training in
the handling and transition of a person already committed to a mental
hospital back to community life and the support needed as such a person
returns to his home. This project, running for thirty weeks also, uses
a format similar to the training course for the Center for Pastoral
Studies. Tuition for the Woodville Project is $35.00.

Winter, Spring and Summer Programs

Two Lenten Preaching Seminars will be held on campus in January,
1971, designed to give a limited number of pastors the opportunity to
read and study with three from the faculty and staff of the Seminary.
The cost for the week, including tuition, room, board and all fees, is $45.

A Seminar for Pastors and Pastors' Wives will be held on campus from
July 12 through July 18, 1970, which will provide lectures and seminars
designed to provide a meaningful learning experience in the fields of
Biblical materials, contemporary culture and personal relations. A fee
of $45 per person will cover the cost of tuition, room and board.

The School of Religion, supported by the Pitcairn-Crabbe Foundation,
each summer invites 150 ministers from within the Synod of Pennsyl-
vania. The faculty is drawn from all over the United States as well as
from the Seminary. The dates for the 1970 school are May 24-29.

Independent Study-in-Residence

Many pastors find that study leaves can be spent most profitably by
living on campus and pursuing an uninterrupted, personal study pro-
gram. Those participating in Independent Study-in-Residence may se-
lect an on-campus faculty adviser who suggests readings and meets with
the pastor. Private rooms are usually available in the dormitories for
$1.50 per night; meals are served in the cafeteria. Tuition for Inde-
pendent Study-in-Residence is $5.00 per week. Further information may
be secured from the Director of Continuing Education.

Director of Alumni Relations, William P. Barker, '50

The Alumni Association, now numbering more than 2,300 members, is
composed of the former students, graduates and post-graduates of
Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and its antecedent seminaries. The
purposes of the Association are to deepen the friendships begun in
seminary and to afford fellowship among all its graduates; to cooperate
with the Seminary in enlisting young people for church vocations and
recruiting prospective seminary candidates; to support actively the cause
of theological education and of the Seminary in particular in its de-
velopment to meet the demands of the future; and lastly, to have a
sympathetic interest in the life and work of the Seminary's students and
faculty. The Alumni Association sponsors several seminary convocations.

The Annual Alumni Day will be held on May 12, 1970 and begin
with an address by a major figure. At noon there will be the 5-year
reunion luncheons and a general luncheon for all alumni and a brief
business session for election of officers. The afternoon program consists
of a faculty panel to discuss the issues raised in the morning, a memo-
rial service at which a distinguished Alumnus preaches, and a reception
by President and Mrs. Donald Miller. This is followed by the Alumni
Dinner, after which the graduating seniors are inducted into the
Association.

Regional meetings of alumni are held frequently, and a dinner at the
annual meeting of the General Assembly is another highlight of the
year's activities.

Supplements to the Alumni Directory are published occasionally and
list changes of address and the newly received alumni.
