THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY AT

TERMS OF ADMISSION.

Even- person applying for admission into the Seminary must produce satis-
factory writien testimonials, that he possesses good natural talents, and is of a
prudent and discreet deportment ; that he is in full communion with some regular
church ; and that he has passed through a regular course of collegiate study ; or,
wanting this, he must submit himself to an examination in regard to the branches
of literature usually taught in such a course.

Those who are not graduates of any college, must, prior to matriculation, pro-
duce a certificate from their Presbytery, or the ecclesiastical body under whose care
they are as candidates for the gospel ministry, expressing its approval of their
entrance upon theological study, without further literary preparation.

AVhen a student has been received under the care of a Presbytery, and has
passed his examination on the studies usually pursued in College with approbation,
a certificate from the Presbytery declaring this fact is received as suflicient to answer
every requisition in regard to testimonials.

’When a student who has been connected with an}' other theological seminary
seeks admission into this, he must produce testimonials of his good standing, and
regular dismission, before he can be received.

A knowledge of Hebrew is not essential to students entering the Junior Class,
inasmuch as the rudiments of this language form part of the regular course of
instruction given in the firet year. But a previous acquaintance with at least the
written character would be of great service to beginners.

PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY.

Fourth Year.

The regular course is completed in three years ; but students may with great
advantage continue to prosecute their studies in the Seminary for a longer period. It
is not thought best to prescribe a fixed course of study for graduates. Each is at
liberty to devote himself to those branches of theological learning for which he has
the greatest aptitude, or which he judges to be most necessary or profitable to him-
self. Accordingly graduate students may at their discretion attend the lectures and
recitations of the regular classes for the review of their previous studies ; or they
may individually conduct original investigations under the direction and advice of
the professors and with the aid of the library.

The Several Departments of Instruction.

In order to convey a clearer idea of what is actually taught in the Seminary,
the following more explicit statements are made respecting the instruction given.

Introduction to the Scriptures.

_ General Introduction to the Old and the New Testament embraces the subjects
of the Canon, the Original Languages of Scripture, Ancient Manuscripts and
Versions, Sacred Criticism, and the History and Principles of Scriptural Interpre-
tation.

Special Introduction embraces an account of each book severally, its authorship,
integritj’, design, and structure, together with a general statement of its contents,
and a more particular examination of the most interesting and important questions
relating to its criticism and interpretation. The course is intended to include at least
a general survey of every book in the Bible.

Hebrew.

Hebrew is taught throughout the course. But the grammatical study of the
language as such is confined mainly to the first year, in which a larger portion of
time is devoted to it than to any other single branch. The .Junior Class is trained
not simply in translation and parsing, but in the derivation of words and the com-
parison of synon}'ms, and in converting English into Hebrew. A beginning is also
made the first year in the application of the knowledge of the language to the work
of exposition, which is carried out more fully in the subsequent years of the course.

PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY.

19

The Old Testament.

A general and comprehensive survey is presented of the various books of the
Old Testament, in their individual plan and contents, and in their relations to one
another, and to the general scheme of which they form a part. The most important
questions in criticism and exegesis that arise in each are considered, with a special
reference to the gradual unfolding of revealed truth, the preparation for the
coming of Christ, and the fuller disclosures of the New Testament. Particular
attention is paid to the interpretation of typical facts and institutions, and to tracing
the progressive scheme of prophecy. The Middle Class is also engaged in the more
detailed study of the Book of P.salms, and the Senior Class in that of Jeremiah.

The New Testament.

In the study|of the New Testament an acquaintance with ordinary Greek is
assumed ; hut careful attention is paid to the peculiarities of the Hellenistic dialect,
particularly as employed hy the New Testament writers. The exegesis of the New
Testament is begun with the .Junior Class by the study of the Epistles of Paul.
The Life of Christ is exhibited in its several periods, with a careful analysis of the
ditferent Gospels, their mutual relations, their individual characteristics, and the
harmony of their respective narratives. The Acts of the Apostles is studied both
exegetically and topically, with prominent reference to the life and labors of the
Apostle Paul, and the early planting of the Christian Church. Special Intro-
ductions to the various E])istles are inserted in their proper chronological place.

Biblical Theology.

Biblical Theology of the Old Testament is a regular study of the Senior year ;
Biblical Theology of the New Testament is an elective study for Senior and Graduate
students. The text-books which are made the basis of instruction in these depart-
ments, are Oehler’s Theology of the Old Testament and Weiss’s Theology of the
New Testament.

Systematic Theology.

Systematic Theology is begun in the Middle year, and completed in the
Senior year. The doctrines of Theology are presented didactically, historically,
and polemically. The order of Topics pursued is : The nature, forms, and sources of
Theology ; the being of God, His nature and attributes ; the Trinity ; the Divinity
of Christ ; the Holy Spirit ; the decrees of God ; creation ; providence ; miracles ;
the origin, nature, and primitive state of man ; the covenant with Adam ; the fall ;
sin ; imputation ; original sin ; inability ; the covenant of grace ; the person of
Christ; His ofiBces ; the nature, necessity, perfection, and extent of the atonement;
His kingdom ; His humiliation and exaltation ; vocation ; regeneration ; faith ;
justification ; sanctification ; the law of God ; the sacraments ; eschatology.

Assyriology and the Old Testament.

The monumental records of Assyria and Babylonia, so far as they bear upon
Biblical topics, are studied in detail by an elective class, conducted by Dr. Davis.
The relations of Assyriology to the Old Testament are further discussed by him in

the present session is “The Assyro-Babylonian Power in Conflict with Israel.”
There will be six lectures, as follows : I. Introductory; the chronology of the
period. II. The conflict on the borderland ; the struggle of Shalmaneser II. with
Ben-hadad and Hazael, Ahab and Jehu. III. and lY. The conflict in the Xorth-

lectures upon some topic kindred to theological studies.

The lecturer for the present year is the Rev. Henry J. Yan Dyke, D.D., of
Brooklyn, 'H. Y., whose subject is “The Ministry and Sacraments .of the Church.”

Rhetorical Exercises in Sermonizing.

Dr. Davis presides at the weekly speaking of the Junior and Middle Cla.sses,

mew-oriter.

The weekly preaching of the Senior Cla.ss is under the direction of Dr.
Paxton, who also conducts exercises with the class in analysis of texts, and in
writing and criticising sermons.

Mr. Henry W. Smith, the instructor in Elocution, is in constant attendance
throughout the session, and gives a thorough course of teaching in this department,
meeting the students both singly and in classes, and combining a careful discussion
of principles with abundant and varied vocal-exercises.

Every student is required, prior to graduation, to exhibit to the Professor of
Homiletical Instruction two lectures and four popular sermons, which shall be
approved by him.

Optional Studies.

Hebrew is the only Oriental language which is taught in the regular course ;
but such students as desire it may be instructed in Palestinian Aramaic, Syriac,
Arabic, or Assyrian.

Private classes may also be formed for classical reading. Biblical exegesis, or
other subjects collateral to the course.

On application to the Professors of the College, students can have the privilege
of attending lectures in that institution.

Religious Exercises.

Daily prayers, which every student is expected to attend, are conducted in the
morning by members of the Senior Class, and in the evening by the Professors.

On Sabbath mornings the Professors preach in rotation in the Seminary Chapel.
In the afternoon a conference is held in the Oratory, at which the Professors conduct
the discourse on a subject previously announced, and the students conduct the
devotional exercises.

Missionary meetings are held every Sabbath evening among the students. The
concert of prayer on the first Monday of each month is under the direction of the
Professors.

Various other meetings for devotion or mutual exhortation are maintained
either by the students as a body, or by each class separately, or by the graduates of
the several colleges, etc.

Abundant opportunities for active usefulness and observation of pastoral life are
afibrded in Princeton and its vicinity. A large number of the students regularly
engage in the conduct of religious meetings, in Sabbath School instruction, and in
other kinds of Christian work.

Library.

The library has been removed to the new and elegant edifice erected for it by
the late James Lenox, LL.D., of New York. The library now contains about
50,449 bound volumes, chiefly theological, including, in addition to many rare and
costly works, the large and unique collection of pamphlets presented by the Rev. Dr.
Sprague, the libraries of Drs. Ashbel Green, John M. Krebs, John Breckinridge,
etc. ; the valuable library of Dr. Addison Alexander, the gift of Messrs. R. L. and
A. Stuart; a remarkably full collection of works on the Baptist controversy,
embracing over 2000 volumes and 3000 pamphlets, gathered and presented by the
late Mr. Samuel Agnew, of Philadelphia ; and also a collection of 2000 volumes of
Puritan Theology, presented by friends of the Institution. The library has, from
the generosity of Messrs. R. L. and A. Stuart, a fund of ten thousand dollars, and
from the estate of the late John C. Green, Esq., an additional fund of twenty-five
thousand dollars, whose annunl proceeds are devoted to its maintenance and
increase. It is open one hour on Monday and three hours every other week day for
reading and consultation, and for drawing books. Certain text-books may be kept
out during the entire term.

Students are also entitled to the free use of the Library of the College.-

The reading-room is well supplied with the leading newspapers and periodicals.
It is open to all the students.

Stuart Hall.

This admirable structure affords the most ample and complete accommodations
in the way of lecture-rooms, and apartments devoted to other public uses of the
institution.

24 THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY AT

Rooms, etc.

The commodious buildings of the Seminary, which have recently been thor-
oughly renovated, afford ample accommodations for students. The rooms, both in
the original edifice and in Brown Hall, are furnished with a bedstead, mattress,
pillows, bureau, washstand, chairs, table, looking-glass, bookcase and clothes-press.
Some of the rooms in Brown Hall have also been carpeted and supplied with
additional furniture by the liberality of friends in New York. In other cases what-
ever may he needed or desired, beyond the general provision above indicated, must
he supplied by the students themselves.

Expenses.

There is no charge for tuition or room rent. The only fees required of students
are $10 for the general expense fund, to pay the cost of warming and lighting the
public rooms, the attendance of servants, etc., and $2 for the use of the library and
reading room.

Board is furnished at the refectory for $-3 per week ; in clubs about the same ; in
private families from $3 to $.5.

Fuel costs from $8 to $15 per annum, and washing $1.50 per month. Total of
necessary expenses for the Seminar}- year, from $175 to $200.

Books can he bought at a liberal discount, and some class-books are provided in
the library.

Gas-light may be had in the Seminary at the option of the student.

Students are not advised to engage in teaching or in other distracting occu-
pations during term time, with a view to self-support. This is found to interfere
seriously with their attention to study, and is rendered unnecessaiy by the aid which
they may receive from the funds of the Seminary, from the Board of Education,
and from the liberality of private benefactors.

Reports to Presbyteries.

Annual reports are sent to Presbyteries of the attendance of students under
their care upon the exercises of the Seminary.

Examinations.

The next annual examination will begin on Monday, April 28th, and be con-
tinued until the following Monday. During the first four days it is conducted in
writing ; during the last three it is oral, and is in the presence of the Committee
appointed by the Board of Directors, to whose scrutiny the results of the written
examination are likewise submitted.

Vacations.

The long summer vacation presents a suitable opportunity for engaging in
teaching, or in other remunerative occupations. Students are particularly encour-
aged to spend their vacation in practical Christian work, under the direction or with
the approbation of their pastors or Presbyteries. This will furnish a most important
supplement to the training of the Seminary, affording an 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 holidays.

Location of the Seminary.

The seclusion and quiet of a rural village is particularly favorable to academic
occupation. |It was chiefly for this reason, and for the additional advantage of
proximity to the College of New Jersey, that the General Assembly, after mature
deliberation, selected Princeton as the site of the oldest Seminary of the Church.

It is in quick and easj' communication with the neighboring cities of New York
and Philadelphia, while yet it is sufficiently removed from them to be free from all
distracting influences.
