FOUNDING OF THE SEMINARY.
25
THE FOUNDING OF THE SEMINARY.
In the year 1809 the proposal to establish a Theological
Seminary for the Presbyterian Church was introduced to the
General Assembly in the form of an overture from the Presby-
tery of Philadelphia. The committee, to whom the overture
was referred, recommended that three alternate plans be sub-
mitted to the presbyteries : the first, to establish one school in
some convenient place near the center of the Church ; the second,
to establish two schools, one in the North, the other in the South ;
the third, to establish a school within the bounds of each of the
synods. The reports from the presbyteries received in 1810 led
the General Assembly in that year to decide upon a single school
and to appoint a committee to prepare a “ Plan for a Theological
Seminary,” to be reported to the next General Assembly. In
1811 the plan reported was adopted. In 1812 the location of
the Seminary was fixed temporarily at Princeton, New Jersey, a
Board of Directors was elected, and the Reverend Archibald
Alexander, D.D., was appointed Professor of Didactic and Po-
lemic Theology. In 1813, the Reverend Samuel Miller was
appointed Professor of Ecclesiastical History and Church Gov-
ernment, and the location at Princeton was made permanent.
The trustees of the College showed their interest in this
settlement by allowing the use of its buildings to the Seminary
students, and by offering space on the College campus for the
erection of any buildings necessary for the use of the Seminary.
They also engaged that there should be no Professor of Theology
in the College as long as the Seminary remained in Princeton.
The classes were held at first in Dr. Alexander’s study, and later
for a time in the College buildings.
In 1815, the Assembly determined to erect a hall which should
contain both the lecture rooms needed and lodgings for the stu-
dents. The corner stone of this building, now known as Alex-
ander Hall, was laid in that year, and it was first occupied in
26
PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
the autumn of 1817. It was built upon a tract of land contain-
ing seven acres, which had been purchased for the use of the
Seminary. In 1820, the Assembly authorized the professors to
appoint an Assistant Teacher of the Oriental Languages of Holy
Scripture ; and in the same year they appointed to this office
Mr. Charles Hodge, a graduate of the Seminary, and a licentiate
of the Church. Mr. Hodge accepted the appointment and was
ordained. In 1822 he was elected by the General Assembly
Professor of Oriental and Biblical Literature. On the twelfth of
August, 1812, the first Seminary session, that of 1812-13, com-
menced. Three students were present. Fourteen were matricu-
lated during the session. In 1822 the Legislature of the State
of New Jersey passed an act incorporating the “ Trustees of the
Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian Church,” making this
the corporate name of the institution. With this incorporation
the Seminary was constituted as at present. During the ninety
years of its existence, five thousand and seventy- three students
have been matriculated. Of these, two hundred and eighty-six
have entered upon foreign mission work.
THE DESIGN OF THE SEMINARY.
In the “ Plan of the Seminary ” as adopted by the General
Assembly its design is stated in the following paragraphs ;
“The General Assembly, after mature deliberation, has re-
solved, in reliance on the patronage and blessing of the Great
Head of the Church, to establish a new institution consecrated
solely to the education of men for the gospel ministry, and to
be denominated The Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of America. And to the intent that
the true design of the founders of this Institution may be known
to the public, both now and in time to come, and especially that
this design may, at all times, be distinctly viewed, and sacredly
regarded, both by the teachers and the pupils of the Seminary,
it is judged proper to make a summary and explicit statement
of it.
“ It is to form men for the gospel ministry, who shall truly
believe, and cordially love, and therefore endeavor to propagate
DESIGN OF THE SEMINARY.
27
and defend, in its genuineness, simplicity and fullness, that
system of religious belief and practice which is set forth in the
Confession of Faith, Catechisms, and Plan of Government and
Discipline of the Presbyterian Church ; and thus to perpetuate
and extend the influence of true evangelical piety and gospel
order.
“It is to provide for the Church an adequate supply and
succession of able and faithful ministers of the New Testament ;
workmen that need not be ashamed, being qualifled rightly to
divide the word of truth.
“ It is to unite in those who shall sustain the ministerial
office religion and literature ; that piety of the heart which is
the fruit only of the renewing and sanctifying grace of God, with
solid learning : believing that religion without learning, or learn-
ing without religion, in the minister of the gospel, must ulti-
mately prove injurious to the Church.
“ It is to afford more advantages than have hitherto been
usually possessed by ministers of religion in our country, to
cultivate both piety and literature in their preparatory course ;
piety, by placing it in circumstances favorable to its growth, and
by cherishing and regulating its ardour ; literature, by affording
favorable opportunities for its attainment, and by making its
possession indispensable.
“ It is to provide for the Church, men who shall be able to
defend her faith against infidels, and her doctrines against
heretics.
“ It is to furnish our congregations with enlightened, humble,
zealous, laborious pastors, who shall truly watch for the good of
souls, and consider it as their highest honor and happiness to
win them to the Saviour, and to build up their several charges
in holiness and peace.
“ It is to promote harmony and unity of sentiment among
the ministers of our Church, by educating a large body of them
under the same teachers, and in the same course of study.
“ It is to lay the foundation of early and lasting friendship,
productive of confidence and mutual assistance in after life
among the ministers of religion ; which experience shows to be
28
PRIUCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
conducive not only to personal happiness, but to the perfecting
of inquiries, researches and publications advantageous to religion.
“ It is to preserve the unity of our Church, by educating our
ministers in an enlightened attachment not only to the same
doctrines, but to the same plan of government.
“ It is to bring to the service of the Church genius and talent,
when united with piety, however poor or obscure may be their
possessor, by furnishing, as far as possible, the means of educa-
tion and support without expense to the student.
“ It is to found a nursery for missionaries to the heathen,
and to such as are destitute of the stated preaching of the gos-
pel ; in which youth may receive that appropriate training which
may lay a foundation for their ultimately becoming eminently
qualified for missionary work.
“ It is, finally, to endeavor to raise up a succession of men,
at once qualified for and thoroughly devoted to the work of the
gospel ministry; who, with various endowments, suiting them
to different stations in the Church of Christ, may all possess a
portion of the spirit of the primitive propagators of the gospel ;
prepared to make every sacrifice, to endure every hardship, and
to render every sendee which the promotion of pure and unde-
filed religion may require.”
TERMS OF ADMISSION.
Every person appljdng for admission into the Seminary must
produce satisfactory written testimonials that he possesses good
natural talents and is of a prudent and discreet deportment, that
he is in full communion vdth 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 re-
gard to the branches of literature usually taught in such a course.
^^^len a student has been received under the care of a pres-
bytery, 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 sufficient to answer
every requisition in regard to testimonials.
BROWN HALL
COURSE OF STUDY.
29
Students unable to comply with these entrance conditions
may nevertheless, on filing 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, be
received into the Seminary, enrolled with the classes and granted
the usual certificate on completing the full course; but such
students cannot be technically accounted students in full stand-
ing, or on completing the course, be enrolled as technically
graduates of the institution.
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.
These various testimonials must be presented to the Corres-
ponding Secretary and Assistant Registrar, Dr. Vos, before the
applicant for admission can be allowed to matriculate.
The Seminary course is designed to cover three years of
special preparation for the ministry, and a full curriculum for
the three years is pro^dded, on the completion of which the cer-
tificate of graduation is conferred. Students are strongly recom-
mended, when preparing for the Seminary at colleges where
opportunity to do so offers, to make a beginning in Hebrew,
Theism, Evidences of Christianity, General Apologetics, New
Testament Greek, Patristic Greek and Latin, or the like, before
entering the Seminary. Those whose previous work in such
departments of study is fairly equivalent to any portion of the
Seminary curriculum will be provided with advanced work, as
is outlined on a subsequent page of this catalogue, and thus
enabled to materially increase their theological knowledge, and,
if they desire, to enter upon a course of study designed to qualify
for the Degree of Bachelor of Divinity.

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 :
32
PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
THE RELATIONS OF PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE TO THE CHRISTIAN
RELIGION.
The aim of this course is to exhibit positively the reasonable-
ness of Christianity as the supernatural and the final religion.
The Junior year is devoted to a general introduction to
Apologetics ; a critique of the reason, involving the discussion
of its reality, its trustworthiness, and its limitations; and the
philosophy of religion, under which are considered the definition
of religion, its nature, its origin, its reality and its criteria.
The Middle year is given to the evidences of Christianity,
experimental, internal, external, collateral, and that from the
character and resurrection of Christ ; and to the proof that the
Scriptures are the divinely inspired record of this religion.
The Senior year is divided between Christian Ethics and
Christian Sociology. Under the former are discussed Old Testa-
ment ethics, New Testament ethics, and the argument for Christi-
anity from this ethical system. Under the latter are considered
the teachings of Christianity as to the family, the nation and the
school ; and the argument for Christianity from the superiority
of its social system.
A Post-Graduate course is also offered in Philosophical
Apologetics. This develops the arguments for Christianity from
comparative religion, from the philosophy of history, and from
the philosophy of Christianity.
The whole subject of Theism, historical, constructive, and
polemic, is discussed by President Patton, of the University, who
delivers two lectures a week on this topic throughout the Junior
year.
HEBREW.
Hebrew is taught throughout the course. But the gram-
matical 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 derivation of words
and the comparison of synonyms and in converting English into
Hebrew. A beginning is also made the first year in the appli-
cation of the knowledge of the language to the work of exposi-

tion, which is carried out more fully in the subsequent years of
the course.
INTRODUCTION TO THE SCRIPTURES.
General Introduction to the Old and 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 Interpretation.
Special Introduction embraces an account of each book sev-
erally, 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 in-
tended to include at least a general survey of every hook in the
Bible.
THE OLD TESTAMENT.
A general and comprehensive survey is presented of the vari-
ous 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 ques-
tions 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
disclosure 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 more detailed study of the Psalms and the
Senior Class in that of the Prophets.
THE NEW TESTAMENT.
In the study of the New Testament an acquaintance with
ordinary Greek is 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 Testa-
ment is begun with the Junior Class by the study of the Epistles
of Paul, and lectures are delivered on topics belonging to General
34
PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
Introduction. The life of Christ is exhibited in its several
periods, with a careful analysis of the different Gospels, their
mutual relations, their individual characteristics, and the har-
mony of their respective narratives. The Acts of the Apostles
is studied both exegetically and topically, with prominent refer-
ence to the life and labors of the Apostle Paul and the early
planting of the Christian Church. Special introductions to the
various Epistles are inserted in their proper chronological order.
BIBLICAL HISTORY.
Old Testament History is studied as a history of events, the
unfolding of the import of these events in the history of reve-
lation being relegated to the department of Biblical The-
ology. The Biblical narratives themselves are studied as the
source ; but the course is supplemented by lectures which deal
with the data furnished by the contemporary monuments of
Babylon, Assyria and Egypt. Geography is also studied, so far
as it pertains to the history. In like manner New Testament
History, including the life of Christ and the work of the Apostles,
is studied in connection with the books of the New Testament.
BIBLICAL THEOLOGY.
An equal place is assigned in the course to Old Testament
and New Testament Theology. The point of view is that of the
history of revelation ; and in the various periods of divine econ-
omy both the contents and the form of revelation receive atten-
tion. The instruction is by lectures supplemented by a text-
book. In Old Testament Theology the plan and division adopted
by Oehler are followed, with fuller discussion of the patriarchal
period. A similar method is pursued in the treatment of New
Testament Theology.
CHURCH HISTORY.
The instruction in general Church History is by lectures and
recitations with reference to sources and literature. While the
main design of the course is to set forth historically the career
DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION.
35
of the Christian Church in its relations to the other elements of
the life of the world, the development of Christian doctrine and
the interior life of the church are also presented. Special treat-
ises in each period are recommended for collateral study, and
outlines of the course of lectures are provided to aid the students
in taking notes.
SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY.
Systematic Theology is studied throughout the course. 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 offices ; 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.
ECCLESIASTICAL, HOMILETICAL AMD PASTORAL THEOLOGY.
The study of Homiletics begins in the Junior year. The
method of instruction is by lectures. The course includes ; The
proper idea and essential elements of a sermon ; the classification
of sermons ; the choice of texts ; origination of thought ; inven-
tion ; assimilation; the drawing of the theme; analysis of texts
and the different classes of division ; practical exercise in the
making of divisions, with criticism of sermons delivered in the
presence of a professor.
In the Middle year the study of Ecclesiastical Theology is
begun. Instruction is by lecture. Subj ects : The true idea of
the Church ; the organization of the Church ; the Head of the
Church ; the claim of Papal supremacy ; the officers of the
Church, etc. The course of lectures on Homiletics is continued
in the Middle year and includes lectures on introductions, on
36
PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
methods of treating the different heads of a discourse; and on
illustrations in preaching, together with practical exercises in
preaching and criticisms by a professor.
The Senior class is instructed in Pastoral Theology by lec-
tures. The study of Ecclesiastical Theology is continued, includ-
ing lectures on the apostolic succession, priesthood of the
ministry, ordination, the ruling elder, church discipline, etc.
MISSIONS.
The course on Missions treats of the philosophy. Biblical
basis, history and Scriptural form of missions, and affords in-
struction in methods of awakening, developing and directing
the Church’s interest in foreign missions. It comprehends the
study of the place of foreign missions in comparative religion ;
the universalistic element in Biblical theology, the history of
missions from the close of the Apostolic period to the evangel-
ical revival of the eighteenth century ; the history, methods and
results of Protestant missions ; practical theology in relation to
foreign missions. This course is conducted biennially in alter-
nate years, the Middle and Senior classes being united for the
purpose. It has a place in the schedule for the present session.
RHETORICAL EXERCISES IN SERMONIZING.
Dr. DeWitt and Dr. Greene preside at the weekly preach-
ing of the Middle and Junior classes respectively. Each mem-
ber of these classes is, in his turn, expected to deliver original
discourses, memoriter.
The weekly preaching of the Senior class is under the direc-
tion of Dr. Paxton, who also conducts exercises with the class
in analysis of texts, and in writing and criticising sermons.
j\Ir. Henry W. Smith, the instructor in elocution, is in at-
tendance 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.

EXTRA-CURRICULUM COURSES OF STUDY.
On application to the authorities of the University, students
have the privilege of attending lectures in that institution, so
far as these do not interfere with their regular duties in the
Seminary. Under prescribed conditions, such work qualifies for
the degree of Master of Arts.
In addition to the studies provided by the curriculum of the
Seminary, collateral courses in the several departments are
offered to the students, which enable them to devote larger at-
tention to favorite studies and to lay broad foundations in
knowledge. These collateral courses run from October 1st to
April 15th, unless otherwise announced by the professors who
offer them, and are concluded by an examination. The regula-
tions respecting attendance and diligence which govern the or-
dinary work of the Seminary apply equally to these extra-cur-
riculum studies, but it is optional with each student whether he
undertakes these courses or not. Under prescribed conditions,
extra-curriculum work qualifies for the degree of Bachelor of
Divinity.
Students who, in college or other seminaries, have fully
traversed the ground covered by any part of the curriculum of
this institution, and have attained due proficiency in these
branches, are privileged and encouraged to substitute extra-cur-
riculum work in the place of these studies.
Students who propose to undertake extra-curriculum work,
whether it be intended merely to enrich the ordinary course or
to serve as a substitute for work already done or to qualify for
the degree of Master of Arts or Bachelor of Divinity, must
make their election known to the Assistant Registrar of the
Faculty in writing on or before the first day of October.
THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS.
Matriculated students of the Seminary, who hold the degree
of Bachelor of Arts from Princeton University or any institu-
tion approved by it, may enter the Graduate Department of the
38
PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
University by matriculation and become candidates for the de-
gree of Master of Arts. The degree may be conferred upon
students thus qualified after they shall have taken graduate
courses in the University involving at least two hours a week
each term for four terms, that is for two years when the terms
are consecutive, and passed satisfactory examinations upon

SPECIAL LECTURES.
The foundation created by L. P. Stone, Esq., provides for an
annual course of lectures upon some topic kindred to theological
studies. The Students’ Lectureship on Missions had its incep-
tion in the minds of the undergraduates of the Seminary, and
its endowment was secured largely by their efforts. It provides
for an annual course of lectures on some topic connected with
missions of practical importance to those who are looking for-
ward to the foreign work.
FELLOWSHIPS AND PRIZES.
Three fellowships have been established — one in Old Testa-
ment studies, one in New Testament studies, and one in studies
subject to annual designation by the Faculty. Each of these
fellowships is governed by the following general rules : Unless

ating class who stands highest in a special examination held in
April, and who, in addition, prepares the best thesis on an

assigned theme, which he presents on or before the first day of
April. But no student can receive a fellowship who is not a
Bachelor or Master of Arts of some approved college or univer-
sity ; and it is not awarded to one who has not spent at least
two years in this Seminary, nor unless he passes a satisfactory
examination on all the studies of the regular course, nor unless
his specified examination and thesis are decidedly meritorious.
The thesis must be signed by an assumed name, and accompanied
by a sealed envelope containing the real name of its author.
According to convenience, the thesis may be handed to the
Librarian of the Seminary, or left at the house of the Professor
in charge of the department.
GEORGE S. GREEN FELLOWSHIP.
This fellowship was founded in 1879 by George S. Green,
Esq., of Trenton, N. J., for the encouragement of advanced study
in Old Testament literature. It yields $600 in quarterly pay-
ments. The subject of the thesis for this year is ; A Critical
Discussion of the Date of Psalms cxx— cxxxiv. The examina-

ALUMNI FELLOWSHIP.
The Alumni fellowship in New Testament studies was estab-
lished in 1889 by gifts from the graduates of the Seminary, and
rests on a fund which now amounts to about seven thousand
dollars. The Archibald Robertson scholarship was founded by
Mrs. Robertson, of New York City, by the gift of five thousand
dollars, with the view of encouraging high attainments in some
branch of theological learning. For the present it has been
arranged that the scholarship shall be awarded to the holder of
the Alumni fellowship. The combined funds now yield about

a fellowship was founded in 1900. It is not permanently
attached to any one department of the curriculum, but the
department in which it is competed for and enjoyed is desig-
nated by the Faculty one year in advance. The foundation is
ten thousand dollars, and the annual income accruing from this
fund, amoimting at present to a,hout $400, is paid to the holder
of the fellowship in quarterly installments. The thesis must
not contain less than ten thousand words nor more than twenty
thousand.
The fellowship will be conferred this year in the department

47
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.
A missionary meeting is held every Sabbath evening by

other meetings for devotion or mutual exhortation are main-
tained either by the students as a body, or by each class sepa-
rately, 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 students regularly engage in the conduct of
religious meetings, in Sunday School instruction, and in other
kinds of Christian work.
GENERAL INFORMATION.
LIBRARY.
The Library, which is in the two buildings erected for it in
1843 and 1879 by the late James Lenox, LL.D., of New York,
now contains 68,400 bound volumes, chiefly theological, includ-
ing the libraries of Drs. Ashbel Green, John M. Krebs, John
Breckinridge, etc. ; the valuable library of Dr. J. Addison Alexan-
der, the gift of Messrs. R. L. and A. Stuart ; 2,800 volumes of
the library of the late Prof. Wm. Henry Green, bequeathed by
him to the Seminary ; a remarkably full collection of works on
the Baptist controversy, embracing over 2,000 volumes and
3,000 pamphlets, gathered and presented by the late Mr. Samuel
Agnew, of Philadelphia ; and also a collection of 2,000 volumes
of Puritan theology, presented by friends of the Seminary. In
addition to the bound volumes already mentioned, the Library
possesses 28,000 pamphlets, including the large and unique col-
lection presented by the Rev. Dr. Sprague. The Library has a
fund of ten thousand dollars irom the generosity of the late
48
PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
Messrs. R. L. and A. Stuart, and from the estate of John C.
Green, Esq., an additional fund of twenty-five thousand dollars,
whose annual proceeds are devoted to its maintenance and in-
crease ; a fund of one thousand dollars given by the late Rev. Dr.
Samuel M. Hamill, of which the income is for the purchase of
books on foreign missions ; also a fund of three thousand dollars,
given by Mrs. R. L. Kennedy, of Philadelphia, the income of
which is for the purchase of books on church history.
The Library is open three hours on Saturday and five hours
every other week day for reading and consultation, and for
drawing books. Certain text-books may be kept out during the
entire term.
The Library staff consists of the librarian, Mr. F. C. Mac-
donald, assistant to the librarian, and Miss C. M. Alexander,
cataloguer.
Students are also entitled to the free use of the Library of
the University.
The reading room is well supplied with the leading news-
papers and periodicals. It is open to all the students.
STUART HALL.
This admirable structure, erected by Messrs. R. L. and A.
Stuart in 1876, affords most ample and complete accommoda-
tions in the way of lecture-rooms and apartments devoted to
other public uses of the institution.
DORMITORIES.
Alexander Hall, long known as the Old Seminary, was the
first building erected by the Presbyterian Chuich in the United
States for seminary purposes. It was first occupied by the
students in the fall of 1817. In it the rooms, whether intended
for one occupant or two, are connected with a separate bed-room.
Brown Hall is a memorial of the munificence of Mrs. Isabella
Brown, of Baltimore. The corner stone was laid by the Moder-
ator of the General Assembly on the 21st of May, 1864, and it
was occupied in the fall of 1865. It is the dormitory of single
rooms. They are well lighted, easily ventilated and commodious.
LENOX LIBRARY
GENKKAL INFORMATION.
49
Hodge Hall, built by money bequeathed by Mrs. Mary
Stuart, widow of Mr. Robert L. Stuart, of New York, was
completed during the summer of 1893. The rooms are in suites,
each study having a separate, connecting bed-chamber, or, in the
few cases where the study is to be shared by two occupants, a
separate sleeping apartment for each.
Each of these dormitories is provided with fire escapes and
contains bath rooms and a parlor.
ROOMS.
The rooms in the several dormitories are furnished with bed-
stead, mattress, pillows, bureau, washstand, chairs, table, looking-
glass, book-case, and either a clothes-press or a closet. What-
ever may be needed or desired beyond this general provision
must be obtained by the students themselves.
Every student is provided with a room either in the dormi-
tories or, in case they are full, in the town. The drawing for
vacant rooms in the dormitories by entering students takes place
at 3 p. M. on the first day of the session. A double room will
be assigned previous to the opening day to accepted students
who wish to room together, if they make application either in
person or by letter.
EXPENSES.
There is no charge for tuition or room rent. The only fees
required of students are 810 for the general expense fund, to pay
the cost of warming and lighting the public rooms, the attend-
ance of servants, etc., and $2 for the use of the Library and read-
ing room. Board can be obtained in clubs at about 83 per week ;
in private families for from 83 to 85. Fuel costs from 810 to 815
per annum, and washing 81.50 per month. Total of necessary
expenses, outside of text-books, for the Seminary year, 8160.
Books can be bought at a liberal discount, and some class
books are provided in the library. Gas-ligbt may be had in the
dormitories at the option of the student.

PRINCBTON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
AID.
Deserving students, whose circumstances require it, receive
aid to a limited extent from the scholarships of the Seminary,
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 scholar-
ship funds of the Seminary. Application for aid from the scholar-
ship fund should be made to Dr. De Witt.
Students are advised not to engage in teaching or other dis-
tracting 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.
CARE IN SICKNESS.
In case of severe illness, the student has admission to the
Isabella McCosh Infirmary, in which one bed has been fully and
another partially endowed in behalf of the Seminary. The
endowment does not cover the expenses for food, nursing and
medical attendance.
REPORTS TO PRESBYTERIES.
Annual reports are sent to presbyteries of the attendance of
students under their care upon the exercises of the Seminary.
In case of deficiency in scholarship this also is reported.
EXAMINATIONS.
The annual examinations are conducted in writing and the
results are submitted to the Committee on Examination and Vis-
itation appointed by the Board of Directors. The Committee
for the present session consists of the Directors whose term of
office expires in May, 1902, with the *Rev. Ebenezer Erskine, D.D.,
chairman, and the Rev. Samuel T. Lowrie, D.D., secretary. The

GENERAL INPORMATION.
51
mid-year examinations will be held on Saturday, January 11th,
and the final examinations will begin on Thursday, April 24th,
and be continued until Friday of the following week.
Students who are absent from the examinations of their
class, or who fail to pass this test in a satisfactory manner, must
submit to an examination before the second Tuesday of the
ensuing October, or lose their standing in the Seminary. The
examinations necessary for this purpose are held during the last
week of September and the first week of October, according to
a pubhshed schedule.
THE ACADEMIC YEAR
opens on the third Thursday of September, and closes on the
Tuesday before the second Saturday in May.
The matriculation of new students takes place in the Oratory,
Stuart Hall, at 11 o’clock, a. m., on the first day of the session.
The opening address is delivered in Miller Chapel at the same
hour on the following day.
The Board of Directors holds two stated meetings each year ;
the first on the second Tuesday in October, the second on the
Monday before the second Saturday in May. Both begin at 2
p. M. The Board of Trustees also holds two stated meetings
annually : the first on the second Tuesday in November, and
the second on the Tuesday before the second Saturday in May.
Both begin at 3 p. m.
The annual sermon at the close of the session will be preached
on Sabbath, May 4th, by the Rev. John Fox, D.D., or in case of
his absence, by the Rev. George D. Baker, D.D. At this service
the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper will be administered.
The usual diplomas will be conferred on the next graduating
class on Tuesday, May 6th, in the presence of the Board of
Directors, when the students will be dismissed with an address
by Morris H. Stratton, Esq., or Hon. William M. Banning, his
alternate.
VACATIONS.
The long summer vacation presents a suitable opportunity
for engaging in teaching, or in other remunerative occupations.
52
PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
Students are particularly encouraged to spend their vacation in
practical Christian work, under the direction, or with the appro-
bation of their Pastors, Presbyteries, or the Boards of the Church.
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, now Princeton University, that the General Assem-
bly, after mature deliberation, selected Princeton as the site of
the first seminary of the Church. Princeton 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.
GIFTS AND BEQUESTS TO THE SEMINARY.
The corporate name of the body in charge of the property of
the Seminary is “ The Trustees of the Theological Seminary of
the Presbyterian Church located at Princeton.” Gifts may, at
the pleasure of the donors, be directed to the Permanent Fund,
which is for the support of the Professors ; to the Education
Fund, which is for the aid of needy students ; to the Contingent
Fund, which is for defraying the general expenses of the institu-
tion, its buildings, grounds, etc. ; to the Sustentation Fund,
designed to diminish the expense of boarding; to the Library
Fund, or to any other important object connected with the Sem-
inary. The value of a scholarship is from $2500, which is the
minimum, to $3000.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF THE SEMINARY.
The Alumni Association of the Seminary will hold its aimual
meeting in Miller Chapel on Tuesday, May 6th, at the close of

These with Rev. William C. Stitt, D.D., of New York, Rev.
George F. Greene, of Cranford, N. J., and Rev. R. P. D. Bennett,
of Germantown, Pa., constitute the Executive Committee.
THE ANNUAL NECROLOGICAL REPORT.
This publication, begun in 1875, contains a brief biographical
notice of each of the Alumni of the Seminary dying within the
course of a given year. It is prepared by the Secretary of the
Alumni Association, who earnestly solicits early and full infor-
mation respecting deceased Alumni.
THE GENERAL CATALOGUE.
The General Catalogue of the Seminary was revised and
brought up to date in 1894. It contains biographical data of all
former students of the Seminary, making a volume of four hun-
dred pages. It will be sent free to former students on application
to the Librarian.
