TERMS OF ADMISSION.
Everj' person applying for admission into the Seminary must produce satisfac-
tory written 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 lurther literary preparation.
When a student has been received under the care of a Presbytery, and has
passed with approbation his examination on the studies usually pursued in college,
a certificate from the Presbytery declaring this fact is received as suflScient to answer
every requisition in regard to testimonials.
When a student who has been connected with any 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 first year. But a previous acquaintance with at least the
written character would be of great service to beginners. Provision is made for
advanced instruction for those who have already mastered the elements of the
language.

FOURTH YEAR.
The regular course is completed in three years ; but students maj' 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 investigation under the direction and advice of the
professors and with the aid of the library.
PRINCETOy, .VA’Tf' JERSEY.

THE SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION.
In order to convej- 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 Ver-
sions, Sacred Criticism, and the History and Principles of Scriptural Interpretation.
Special Introduction embraces an account of each book severally, its authorship,
integrity, 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 comparison
of synonyms, 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 coui-se.
22
THEOLOGICAL SEMIS ARY AT
THE OLD TESTAMENT.
A general and comprehensive survey is presented of the various hooks 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 interpreUition of typical facts and institutions, and to tracing the pro-
gressive scheme of prophecy. The Middle Class is also engaged in the more detailed
study of the Psalms and the Senior Class in that of one of the Prophets.
THE NEW TESTAMENT.
In the study of the New Testament an acquainhince with ordinary Greek i>
assumed ; but careful attention is paid to the peculiarities of the Hellenistic dialect,
particularly as employed by the New Testament writers. The exegesis of the New
Testament is begun with the .Junior Class by the study of the Epi>tles of Paul, and
lectures are delivered on topics belonging to General Introduction. The life of
Christ is exhibited in its several periods, with a careful analysis of the different
Gospvels, their mutual relations, their individual characteristics, and the harmony of
their resptective narratives. The Acts of the Apostles is studied both exegctically
and topically, with prominent reference to the life and labors of the Ajiostle Paul
and the early planting of the Christian Church. Special intnxluctions to the various
Epistles are inserted in their proper cbixmological place.
BIBLICAL THEOLOGY.
Biblical Theology, which has for sevenil years been a study pursued by the
Senior Class, has recently been erected into a distinct department of the curriculum.
It is expected that this new department wilt be in full operation during the ensuing
year.
SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY.
Systematic Theology is begun in tbe Middle year, and completed in the Senior
year. The doctrines of Theology are presented didactically, historically, and polem-
ically. The order of topics pursued is : The nature, forms, and sources of Theology ;
the being of Gi>d, 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 ; impu-
tation; original sin; inability; the covenant of grace; the person of Christ; His
offices ; the nature, necessity, perfection, and extent of the atonement ; His kingdom ;
His humiliation and exaltation ; vocation ; regeneration ; faith ; justification ; sanc-
tification ; the law of God ; the sacraments ; eschatology.

ment of the Christian Church and continues it to the period of the Reformation.
The Seniors begin at the Reformation and pursue the study of general Church His-
tory down to the present time.
The instruction in general Church History is by lectures and recitations, with
references to sources and literature.
ECCLESIASTICAL, HOMILETICAL AND PASTORAL THEOLOGY.

aspects, including the anti-theistic theories, (on which subjects President Patton, of
the College, gives instruction to the Junior Class) ; Biblical Ethics ; and Christian
Social Science. On the.se latter topics instruction is given to the Senior Class.
24
THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY AT
SPECIAL LECTURES.
The foundation created by L. P. Stone, Es(i., provides for an annual course of
lectures upon some topic kindred to theological studies.
The lecturer for the present year is the Rev. Janies O. Murniy, D.D., LL.D.,
Dean of the College of Xew Jersey. His subject is “ Skepticism in Literature.”
RHETORICAL EXERCISES IN SERMONIZING.
Dr. Pukves and Mr. Martin preside at the weekly speaking of the Middle
and Junior Classes respectively. Each member of these classes is, in his turn,
expected to deliver original discourses, memoriter.
The weekly preaching of the Senior Class 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 attendance through-
out 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 princi-
ples with abundant and varied vocal exercises.

Arabic, or Assyrian.
Private cla.«ses 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, provided these do not interfere with their
regular course in the Seminary.
Instruction in French and (lerman languages can be obtained from competent
teachers at the student’s expense.

AID.
Deserving students, whose circumstances re(}uire it, receive aid to a limited
extent from the scholarships of the Seminar}’ and from special funds contributed for
this purpose. Students needing aid should apply first to the Board of Education
through their Presbyteries. If the Board’s scholarship should prove insufficient an
additional sum will be granted from the scholarship funds of the Seminary.
Students are advised not to engage in teaching or in other distracting occupations
during term time, with a view to self-support. This is found to interfere seriously
with their attention to study, and is intended to be rendered unnecessary by the aid
which they may receive from the aforementioned sources.

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, affordinsr 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 easy 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.
