HISTORY  OF  THE  SEMINARY 


25 


HISTORY  OF  THE  SEMINARY 

In  the  year  1809  the  proposal  to  establish  a Theological 
Seminary  for  the  Presbyterian  Church  was  introduced  to 
the  General  Assembly  in  the  form  of  an  overture  from  the 
Presbytery  of  Philadelphia.  The  Committee,  to  whom  the 
overture  was  referred,  recommended  that  three  plans  be 
submitted  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  re- 
ports from  the  presbyteries,  received  in  1810,  led  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly  in  that  year  to  decide  upon  a single  school 
and  to  appoint  a committee  to  prepare  a “Plan  for  a Theo- 
logical Seminary,”  to  be  reported  to  the  next  General  As- 
sembly. In  1811  the  plan  reported  was  adopted.  In  1812 
the  location  of  the  Seminary  was  fixed  temporarily  at 
Princeton,  N.  J.,  a Board  of  Directors  was  elected,  and  the 
Rev.  Archibald  Alexander,  D.D.,  was  appointed  Professor 
of  Didactic  and  Polemic  Divinity.  In  1813  the  Rev.  Sam- 
uel Miller  was  appointed  Professor  of  Ecclesiastical  History 
and  Church  Government,  and  the  location  at  Princeton  was 
made  permanent. 

The  Trustees  of  the  College  of  New  Jersey  entered  into 
an  agreement  with  the  General  Assembly,  allowing  the  use 
of  their  buildings  to  the  Seminary  students,  and  offering 
space  on  the  campus  for  the  erection  of  any  building  neces- 
sary for  the  use  of  the  Seminary.  They  also  engaged  that, 
while  the  Theological  Seminary  shall  remain  at  Prince- 
ton, no  professorship  of  theology  shall  be  established  in 
the  College. 

The  classes  were  held  at  first  in  Doctor  Alexander’s 
study  and  later  for  a time  in  the  College  buildings.  In 
1815  the  Assembly  determined  to  erect  a hall  which  should 


24  PRINCETON  THEOLOGICAL  SEMINARY 

contain  both  the  lecture  rooms  needed  and  lodgings  for  the 
students.  The  cornerstone  was  laid  in  that  year,  and  the 
building,  now  known  as  Alexander  Hall,  was  first  occupied 
in  the  autumn  of  1817.  It  was  built  upon  a tract  of  land 
which  had  been  acquired  for  the  use  of  the  Seminary.  In 
1820  the  Assembly  authorized  the  professors  to  appoint 
an  Assistant  Teacher  of  the  Original  Languages  of  Scrip- 
ture, 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  As- 
sembly Professor  of  Oriental  and  Biblical  Literature.  In 
1824  a charter,  obtained  from  the  Legislature  of  the  State 
of  New  Jersey,  was  accepted  by  the  General  Assembly,  and 
in  accordance  with  its  terms  the  property  and  funds  of  the 
Seminary  were  placed  in  the  charge  of  a Board  of  Trustees. 
This  act  of  legislation  incorporated  the  “Trustees  of  the 
Theological  Seminary  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,”  making 
this  the  corporate  name  of  the  institution.  With  this  in- 
corporation the  Seminary  was  constituted  as  at  present. 

The  first  session  began  on  the  twelfth  of  August,  1812. 
Three  students  matriculated  on  that  day,  another  in  August 
and  five  in  November.  Since  then  six  thousand  four  hun- 
dred and  twenty-three  students  have  been  enrolled,  coming 
from  nearly  every  part  of  the  United  States  and  from  many 
foreign  countries.  Of  these,  four  hundred  and  twenty- 
seven  have  entered  upon  foreign  mission  work. 


THE  DESIGN  OF  THE  SEMINARY. 


25 


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,  have 
resolved,  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  Semi- 
nary 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  de- 
sign may,  at  all  times,  be  distinctly  viewed  and  sacredly 
regarded,  both  by  the  teachers  and  the  pupils  of  the  Semi- 
nary, it  is  judged  proper  to  make  a summary  and  explicit 
statement  of  it. 

“It  is  to  form  men  for  the  Gospel  ministry  who  shall 
truly  believe,  and  cordially  love,  and  therefore  endeavour 
to  propagate  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  Testa- 
ment; workmen  that  need  not  he  ashamed,  being  qualified 
rightly  to  divide  the  word  of  truth, 

“It  is  to  unite  in  those  who  shall  sustain  the  ministerial 
office,  religion  and  literature ; that  piety  of  the  heart,  which 
is  the  fruit  only  of  the  renewing  and  sanctifying  grace  of 
God,  with  solid  learning;  believing  that  religion  without 
learning,  or  learning  without  religion,  in  the  ministers  of  the 
Gospel,  must  ultimately  prove  injurious  to  the  Church. 


26 


PRINCETON  THEOLOGICAL  SEMINARY 


“It  is  to  afford  more  advantages  than  have  hitherto  been 
usually  possessed  by  the  ministers  of  religion  in  our  coun- 
try, to  cultivate  both  piety  and  literature  in  their  prepara- 
tory course ; piety,  by  placing  it  in  circumstances  favourable 
to  its  growth,  and  by  cherishing  and  regulating  its  ardour; 
literature,  by  affording  favourable  opportunities  for  its  at- 
tainment, and  by  making  its  possession  indispensable. 

“It  is  to  provide  for  the  Church  men  who  shall  be  able  to 
defend  her  faith  against  infidels  and  her  doctrine  against 
heretics. 

“It  is  to  furnish  our  congregations  with  enlightened, 
humble,  zealous,  laborious  pastors,  who  shall  truly  watch 
for  the  good  of  souls,  and  consider  it  as  their  highest  hon- 
our 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  friend- 
ships, productive  of  confidence  and  mutual  assistance  in 
after  life  among  the  ministers  of  religion;  which  experience 
shows  to  be  conducive  not  only  to  personal  happiness,  but 
to  the  perfecting  of  inquiries,  researches  and  publications 
advantageous  to  religion. 

“It  is  to  preserve  the  unity  of  our  Church,  by  educating 
her  ministers  in  an  enlightened  attachment  not  only  to  the 
same  doctrines,  but  to  the  same  plan  of  government. 

“It  is  to  bring  to  the  service'  of  the  Church  genius  and 
talent,  when  united  with  piety,  however  poor  or  obscure 
may  be  their  possessor,  by  furnishing,  as  far  as  possible, 
the  means  of  education  and  support  without  expense  to 
the  student. 

“It  is  to  found  a nursery  for  missionaries  to  the  heathen, 


LOCATION  OF  THE  SEMINARY 


27 


and  to  such  as  are  destitute  of  the  stated  preaching  of  the 
Gospel;  in  which  youth  may  receive  that  appropriate  train- 
ing which  may  lay  a foundation  for  their  ultimately  be- 
coming eminently  qualified  for  missionary  work. 

“It  is,  finally,  to  endeavour  to  raise  up  a succession  of 
men,  at  once  qualified  for  and  thoroughly  devoted  to  the 
work  of  the  Gospel  ministry;  who,  with  various  endow- 
ments, suiting  them  to  different  stations  in  the  Church  of 
Christ,  may  all  possess  a portion  of  the  spirit  of  the  primi- 
tive propagators  of  the  Gospel;  prepared  to  make  every 
sacrifice,  to  endure  every  hardship,  and  to  render  every 
service  which  the  promotion  of  pure  and  undefiled  re- 
ligion may  require.” 

LOCATION  OF  THE  SEMINARY 

The  General  Assembly,  after  mature  deliberation,  selected 
Princeton  as  the  site  of  the  first  Seminary  of  the  Church. 
Among  the  reasons  that  led  to  this  choice  was  the  advantage 
afforded  by  proximity  to  the  College  of  New  Jersey,  now 
Princeton  University.  The  theological  students  have  the 
privileges  of  the  University  library ; admission  to  the 
courses  of  instruction  in  the  graduate  and  undergraduate 
departments  of  the  University  when  duly  qualified  and 
upon  recommendation  by  the  Faculty  of  the  Seminary; 
opportunities  to  hear  public  addresses  by  the  members  of 
the  University  Faculty  and  other  distinguished  lecturers; 
and  to  attend  the  concerts  and  musical  recitals  given  under 
the  auspices  of  the  University. 

Princeton  is  in  quick  and  easy  communication  with  New 
York  and  Philadelphia,  while  yet  sufficiently  remote  from 
them  to  be  free  from  distracting  influences.

Ministers  of  the  gospel  who  desire  to  attend  the  Semi- 
nary for  a longer  or  shorter  period,  but  who  do  not  wish

Matriculation 

Entering  students  who  have  presented  satisfactory  cre- 
dentials are  matriculated  by  subscribing  to  the  following 
declaration  required  by  the  Plan  of  the  Seminary: 

“Deeply  impressed  with  a sense  of  the  importance  of  im- 
proving in  knowledge,  prudence  and  piety,  in  my  prepara- 
tion for  the  gospel  ministry,  I solemnly  promise,  in  a reliance 
on  divine  grace,  that  I will  faithfully  and  diligently  attend 
on  all  the  instructions  of  this  Seminary,  and  that  I will  con- 
scientiously and  vigilantly  observe  all  the  rules  and  regula- 
tions specified  in  the  Plan  for  its  instruction  and  govern- 
ment, so  far  as  the  same  relates  to  the  students;  and  that 
I will  obey  all  the  lawful  requisitions,  and  readily  yield  to 
all  the  wholesome  admonitions  of  the  professors  and  direc- 
tors of  the  Seminary  while  I shall  continue  a member  of  it.” 

Collegiate  Preparation 

Other  degrees  than  that  of  Bachelor  of  Arts,  certifying 
to  the  completion  of  an  adequate  course  in  liberal  learning, 
will  be  accepted  as  satisfying  the  academic  requirements  for 
matriculation;  but  the  classical  course  of  study  leading  to 
the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  is  the  normal  course  of 
preparation  for  theological  study.  Special  attention  should 
be  given  to  Latin  and  Greek,  philosophy,  history  and  Eng- 
lish language  and  literature.  When  work  has  been  accom- 
plished which  is  found  to  be  equivalent  to  any  of  the  courses 
of  the  Seminary’s  curriculum,  credit  will  be  given  for  it 
and  a substitute  provided  either  in  the  curriculum  or  extra- 
curriculum courses.

Preliminary  Test  in  Greek 

A command  of  the  elements  of  Greek  is  indispensable  to 
the  prosecution  of  the  linguistic  and  exegetical  study  of  the 
New  Testament.  Accordingly  at  the  beginning  of  the  Semi- 
nary year  an  examination  will  be  held  in  the  translation 
of  simple  Attic  prose  at  sight  and  in  the  grammatical  forms 
(declension  and  conjugation)  and  structure  (syntax)  of 
the  Greek  language;  and  although  no  special  knowledge  of 
New  Testament  Greek  is  required,  a passage  from  the  Gos- 
pels is  usually  offered  for  translation.  All  students  who 
pass  this  examination  will  proceed  at  once  to  the  study  of 
New  Testament  Exegesis  and  of  General  Introduction  to 
the  New  Testament;  but  those  who  are  deficient  defer  these 
studies  while  pursuing  a course  in  elementary  Greek.

THE  CURRICULUM 

The  course  of  study  pursued  in  the  Seminary  is  based 
upon  the  outline  set  forth  in  the  Plan  of  the  Seminary 
adopted  by  the  General  Assembly,  and  is  designed  to  pro- 
vide a complete  and  symmetrical  training  for  the  ministry 
of  our  day.  The  following  is  a schedule  of  the  subjects 
embraced  in  it: 


Biblical  Philology 

Hebrew  is  the  foundation  for  the  study  of  the  Old  Testa- 
ment, and  for  several  branches  of  that  study  is  the  pre- 
requisite. The  grammatical  study  of  the  language,  as  such, 
is  confined  mainly  to  a single  year,  which  is  ordinarily  the 
first  year  of  the  Seminary  course.  During  this  year,  train- 
ing is  given  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  in  applying  the  knowledge  of  the  language  to 
exposition,  which  is  subsequently  carried  out  more  fully. 
Later,  provision  is  made  for  the  higher  study  of  Hebrew 
and  its  cognate  languages. 

An  acquaintance  with  Greek  is  required  of  all  regular 
students  of  the  Seminary.  In  a course  in  General  Intro- 
duction the  origin,  character  and  sources  of  Hellenistic 
Greek  are  discussed,  and  in  the  exegetical  courses  special 
attention  is  given  to  the  distinctive  features  of  the  language 
as  employed  by  the  writers  of  the  New  Testament.  Pro- 
vision is  made  also  for  instruction  in  the  elements  of  Greek 
for  students  who  are  deficient  in  this  respect.  This  is  given 
in  three  courses:  a,  for  those  beginning  the  study;  h,  for 
those  reviewing  the  grammar;  c,  for  those  who  pass  the 
preliminary  test  but  need  a rapid  review  in  grammar  and 
reading  or  who  have  had  course  a in  their  first  year.

THE  CURRICULUM 


33 


Apologetics  and  Christian  Ethics 

The  aim  of  these  courses  is  to  exhibit  positively  the  rea- 
sonableness of  Christianity  as  the  supernatural  and  the  final 
religion.  They  consist  of  three  separate  but  closely  related 
courses.  One  of  these  embraces  a general  introduction  to 
Apologetics;  a critique  of  the  reason,  including  the  discus- 
sion of  its  reality,  its  trustworthiness  and  its  limitations; 
the  philosophy  of  religion,  under  which  are  considered  the 
definition  of  religion,  its  nature,  its  origin,  its  reality  and  its 
criteria;  and  theism,  historical,  constructive  and  polemic. 
The  second  course  is  devoted  to  the  Evidences  of  Christian- 
ity, internal,  external,  collateral,  and  the  argument  from 
the  character  and  resurrection  of  Christ ; and  to  the  proof 
that  the  Scriptures  are  the  divinely  inspired  record  of  this 
religion.  The  subject  of  the  third  course  is  Christian  So- 
ciology. Under  this  head  are  considered  the  teachings  of 
Christianity  as  to  the  family,  the  nation  and  the  Church, 
and  the  argument  for  Christianity  from  the  superiority  of 
its  social  system.  A course  on  Christian  Ethics  is  offered 
as  an  elective,  and  embraces  Old  Testament  Ethics,  New 
Testament  Ethics  and  the  argument  for  Christianity  from 
its  ethical  system. 

Introduction  to  the  Scriptures 

The  courses  in  General  Introduction  to  the  Old  and  New 
Testaments  embrace  the  subjects  of  the  canon,  the  original 
languages  of  Scripture,  textual  criticism  and  the  history 
and  principles  of  Scriptural  interpretation.  Those  on  Spe- 
cial Introduction  embrace  an  account  of  the  several  books 
of  Scripture,  their  authorship,  integrity,  design  and  struc- 
ture, together  with  a general  account  of  the  contents  of  each, 
and  a more  particular  examination  of  questions  relating  to 
their  literary  and  historical  criticism.  These  courses  are  in- 
tended to  include  a general  survey  of  every  book  in  the  Bible. 


34  PRINCETON  THEOLOGICAL  SEMINARY 

Old  Testament  Exegesis  and  Criticism 

A comprehensive  survey  is  made  of  the  several  books  of 
the  Old  Testament  in  their  individual  plans  and  contents, 
and  in  their  relations  to  one  another  and  to  the  general 
scheme  of  which  they  form  a part.  The  more  important 
questions  of  criticism  and  exegesis  which  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  showing  the  progressive  scheme  of 
prophecy.  Separate  courses  are  devoted  to  the  detailed 
exegetical  study  of  the  Psalms  and  of  the  Prophets. 

New  Testament  Literature  and  Exegesis 

The  study  of  the  New  Testament  is  begun  by  a course  of 
lectures  on  General  Introduction,  including  a discussion  of 
hermeneutical  principles,  Hellenistic  Greek,  textual  criti- 
cism, and  the  history  of  the  canon.  Exegesis  of  the  New 
Testament  is  commenced  by  a detailed  study  of  the  Pauline 
Epistles.  The  life  of  Christ  is  studied  on  the  basis  of  the 
Gospels,  attention  being  given  to  the  historical  trustworthi- 
ness of  the  Gospels,  their  relations,  their  characteristics 
and  the  harmony  of  their  narratives.  The  Acts  of  the 
Apostles  and  the  Epistles  of  the  New  Testament  are  used 
as  primary  sources  for  Apostolic  History.  This  course  in- 
cludes a discussion  of  the  origin  of  the  Christian  Church, 
the  life  and  work  of  Paul,  and  special  Introduction  to  the 
Acts  of  the  Apostles. 


Biblical  History 

Old  Testament  History  is  studied  as  a history  of  events, 
while  the  unfolding  of  the  import  of  these  events  in  the 
history  of  revelation  is  assigned  to  the  department  of  Bibli- 
cal Theology.  The  Biblical  narratives  themselves  are 


THE  CURRICULUM 


35 


Studied  as  the  source;  but  the  course  is  supplemented  by- 
lectures  which  deal  with  the  data  furnished  by  the  con- 
temporary records  of  Babylon,  Assyria  and  Egypt.  Geog- 
raphy 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  con- 
nection with  the  books  of  the  New  Testament. 

Biblical  Theology 

There  are  two  courses  exclusively  devoted  to  the  study 
of  Biblical  Theology,  one  in  the  Old  Testament  and  one  in 
the  New  Testament  department.  The  point  of  view  is  not 
that  of  the  development  of  religious  belief  and  practice  in 
Biblical  times,  but  of  the  progress  of  revelation  as  an  ob- 
jective historical  process.  The  several  periods  in  the  history 
of  revelation  are  discussed,  and  both  the  distinctive  charac- 
ter of  each  period  and  the  continuity  of  the  whole  are  em- 
phasized. Besides  the  content  the  form  of  revelation  receives 
attention.  The  instruction  is  by  lectures. 

Church  History 

The  instruction  in  general  Church  History  is  by  text- 
book and  lectures,  with  references  to  sources  and  literature. 
While  the  main  design  of  the  course  is  to  set  forth  his- 
torically the  career  of  the  Christian  Church  in  its  relations 
to  the  other  elements  of  the  life  of  the  world,  the  develop- 
ment of  Christian  doctrine  and  the  interior  life  of  the 
Church  are  also  presented.  Special  treatises  in  each  period 
are  recommended  for  collateral  study.  The  required  work 
is  divided  into  three  parts,  as  follows:  from  the  Apostolic 
Age  to  Gregory  the  Great;  from  Gregory  the  Great  to  the 
Reformation;  from  the  Reformation  to  the  present  day. 

Systematic  Theology 

Systematic  Theology  is  studied  throughout  the  course. 
The  doctrines  are  presented  didactically,  historically  and 


36  PRINCETON  THEOLOGICAL  SEMINARY 

polemically.  The  order  of  topics  pursued  is:  the  nature, 
forms  and  sources  of  Theology;  the  being  of  God,  his  na- 
ture and  attributes;  the  Trinity;  the  divinity  of  Christ;  the 
Holy  Spirit;  the  decree  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  exalta- 
tion; vocation;  regeneration;  faith;  justification;  sanctifica- 
tion ; the  word  and  sacraments ; eschatology. 

The  material  is  divided  into  three  courses,  embracing 
respectively.  Prolegomena  to  Systematic  Theology  and 
Theology  proper;  Anthropology  and  Christology;  and  So- 
teriology  and  Eschatology. 

History  of  Religion  and  Christian  Missions 

Courses  of  instruction  are  given  in  the  genesis  and 
growth  of  religion,  comparative  religion,  and  the  oppor- 
tunity and  urgency  of  carrying  the  gospel  to  non-Christian 
peoples.  The  character  of  the  missionary  message  is 
studied,  the  methods  and  results  of  Protestant  missions  are 
considered,  with  special  emphasis  upon  sociological  progress. 

In  addition  to  the  studies  in  missions  which  are  included 
in  the  curriculum,  undergraduate  students  may  make  special 
preparation  for  missionary  service.  They  may  choose  as 
the  electives  required  to  supplement  the  curriculum  such 
courses  as  the  history  of  the  mission  field  which  the  student 
is  expecting  to  enter  in  its  political,  social  and  religious 
aspects,  including  an  account  of  the  doctrinal  crises  in  the 
light  of  similar  crises  in  the  early  Christian  church;  philo- 
sophical apologetics  and  comparative  religion;  the  divinity 
of  Christ  in  practical  presentation,  embracing  its  prophetic 
anticipations,  Christ’s  witness  concerning  his  nature,  his 
mission  and  his  return,  and  the  relation  of  questions  re- 


THE  CURRICULUM

garding  the  authorship  of  the  New  Testament  documents 
to  this  testimony ; the  history  and  principles  of  religious 
education;  problems  and  methods  of  general  education; 
phonetics.  Frequently,  also,  opportunity  is  afforded  for  be- 
ginning the  study  of  the  language  used  by  the  people  of  the 
country  to  which  the  student  has  received  appointment. 

Practical  Theology 

This  course  includes  the  study  of  Ecclesiastical  and  of 
Pastoral  Theology.  Under  the  former  caption  are  treated 
the  general  topics  of  the  principles  and  practice  of  the 
Presbyterian  form  of  government.  Those  treated  under  the 
latter  include  the  work  of  the  ministry;  church  organiza- 
tion; Sabbath  school  and  evangelistic  methods;  systematic 
benevolence;  the  Church  Boards,  and  other  agencies. 

In  connection  with  this  course  provision  is  made  for  the 
students  of  the  Middle  Class  to  spend  a series  of  Sabbaths 
in  Philadelphia  and  New  York  in  order  to  become  familiar 
with  various  methods  of  Christian  activity  and  service. 

English  Bible 

The  object  of  these  courses  is  to  secure,  as  far  as  possi- 
ble, on  the  part  of  every  student  a general  knowledge  of  the 
contents  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments,  and  to  provide 
for  the  study  of  the  several  books,  with  special  reference 
to  their  use  in  the  pastoral  and  missionary  service  of  the 
Church. 

Homiletics 

Instruction  is  given  in  this  department  by  means  of  lec- 
tures, text-books,  class  exercises,  and  private  conference 
with  the  students,  and  in  connection  with  the  sermons  de- 
livered by  the  students  in  the  presence  of  their  classmates 
and  the  Professor.  Among  the  topics  discussed  are  the 
following;  the  nature  and  scope  of  Homiletics  as  a theo- 
logical discipline;  the  idea  of  the  sermon;  the  relations  of 


38  PRINCETON  THEOLOGICAL  SEMINARY 

preaching  to  the  church  and  the  world;  the  contents,  form 
and  delivery  of  the  sermon ; occasional  and  special  sermons ; 
miscellaneous  problems  of  the  preacher  of  to-day. 

Sermonizing 

Three  exercises  in  sermonizing  are  held  weekly,  and  every 
student  is  expected  to  deliver,  during  his  course,  at  least 
three  sermons  in  the  presence  of  his  fellow  students,  the  in- 
structor in  elocution  and  the  Professor  of  Homiletics  or 
some  other  professor.  Criticism  is  made  of  the  form,  mat- 
ter and  delivery  of  these  sermons.  Each  student,  moreover, 
is  required  to  submit  to  the  Professor  of  Homiletics  for  his 
approval,  before  graduation,  six  written  discourses. 

Elocution 

A thorough  course  of  teaching  in  this  department  is 
given,  the  students  being  met,  both  singly  and  in  classes,  by 
the  instructor  in  charge.  A careful  discussion  of  principles 
is  combined  with  abundant  and  varied  vocal  exercises. 

LIST  OF  COURSES 

The  following  list  embraces  the  several  courses  which 
constitute  the  curriculum  as  outlined  above.  The  successful 
prosecution  of  them  all,  together  with  six  hours  of  elected 
extra-curriculum  studies,  is  requisite  to  secure  the  certifi- 
cate of  graduation. 

Normally  the  work  is  distributed  in  such  a manner  that 
in  the  first  year  there  are  16^  hours  of  curriculum  studies 
each  week;  in  the  second  year  14  hours  of  curriculum 
studies  and  two  hours  of  elected  studies  (which  must  in- 
clude one  hour  in  Semitics) ; in  the  third  year  11J/2  hours 
of  curriculum  studies  and  four  hours  of  elected  studies. 
Not  more  than  three  hours  of  the  six  hours  of  elected 
studies  may  be  taken  in  one  department. 

It  may  be  best  in  certain  cases  to  devote  four  years  to

: EXTRA-CURRICULUM  STUDIES 

j In  addition  to  the  studies  provided  by  the  curriculum  of 

i the  Seminary,  collateral  courses  in  the  several  departments 

are  offered  to  the  students.  These  courses  enable  students 
to  devote  larger  attention  to  favorite  studies,  to  lay  broader 
foundations  in  knowledge,  and,  when  the  student  conforms 
I to  the  conditions,  to  qualify  for  the  degree  of  Bachelor 

of  Divinity. 

In  order  to  fulfill  the  requirements  for  graduation,  selec- 
tions supplementary  to  the  curriculum  must,  as  already 
I stated,  be  made  from  these  courses,  equivalent  to  six  hours 

a week  during  one  session,  but  normally  distributed  over 
two  sessions. 

, Students  must  make  their  selection  of  extra-curriculum 

I studies  known  to  the  Registrar  and  Secretary  of  the  Fac- 

I ulty  in  writing  during  the  first  week  of  the  session.  Extra- 

curriculum classes  begin  on  the  first  Monday  of  the  session. 

EXTRA-CURRICULUM  COURSES  FOR  THE 
SESSION  OF  1918-19 

Unless  stated  otherwise  each  course  mentioned  in  this 
list  is  reckoned  as  occupying  one  hour  a week  during  the 
session. 

! In  addition  to  these  courses,  studies  in  special  topics  may 

be  arranged  in  any  department  on  consultation  with  the 
Professor  in  charge.  This  work  is  conducted  by  means  of 
assigned  reading,  under  the  stimulus,  direction  and  advice 
of  the  Professor  in  personal  conference.  There  may  be  an 
examination.  The  value  in  hours  is  reckoned  according  to 
the  amount  of  work  demanded  by  the  theme.

Prosecution  of  the  Course  of  Study 

1.  Students  on  arriving  in  Princeton  each  year  shall 
consult  at  once  with  the  Registrar  and  Secretary  of  the 
Faculty  as  to  their  course  of  study,  and  shall  indicate  to 
him  within  one  week  from  the  beginning  of  the  term,  on 
blanks  provided  for  the  purpose,  the  studies  determined 
upon.  These  selections  shall  be  subject  to  the  approval  of 
the  Faculty,  and  must  in  all  cases  be  rationally  correlated 
and  constitute  a sufficient  and  orderly  course  of  study.  The 
selected  studies,  after  their  approval  by  the  Faculty,  must 
be  adhered  to  throughout  the  year. 

2.  A student  shall  not  take  fewer  than  twelve  hours, 
or  more  than  twenty  hours  weekly. 

3.  Students  beginning  their  first  year  in  the  Seminary 
and  intending  to  complete  the  studies  of  the  regular  course 
in  three  years  must  take  the  fundamental  course  in  the 
Hebrew  language  during  this  first  year,  and,  in  case  of  de- 
ficiency in  Greek,  a course  in  elementary  Greek  also.  Only 
in  the  case  of  an  entire  lack  of  knowledge  of  Greek  may  the 
study  of  Hebrew  be  deferred  to  the  second  year. 

4.  When  a student  on  entering  the  Seminary  has  com- 


PROSECUTION  OF  THE  COURSE  OF  STUDY 


45 


pleted  any  of  the  studies  of  the  curriculum,  he  may  select 
Other  work  from  the  curriculum  or  the  extra-curriculum 
studies;  and  such  work  from  the  extra-curriculum  studies 
may  be  credited  to  him  for  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of 
Divinity. 

On  the  other  hand  a student,  deficient  in  some  depart- 
ment of  his  preparation,  may  arrange  his  course  to  enable 
him  to  make  up  his  deficiency,  either  by  slightly  increasing 
the  number  of  hours  weekly  in  the  regular  course  of  study, 
or  by  disposing  his  course  to  occupy  four  years. 

Students  who  have  received  part  of  their  training  in 
other  approved  seminaries  and  enter  this  Seminary  by  dis- 
mission ad  eimdem  will  have  their  periods  of  residence  and 
the  work  actually  done  in  such  seminaries  credited  to  them ; 
they  will,  however,  be  expected  to  take  the  studies  which 
are  included  in  the  curriculum  of  this  Seminary  but  which 
they  lack. 

5.  Certificates  of  graduation  will  be  accorded  to  those 
students  only  who,  in  addition  to  fulfilling  the  conditions 
specified  under  Terms  of  Admission,  have  been  in  residence 
for  a period  of  not  less  than  three  full  years  (a  portion  of 
which  period  of  residence  may  have  been  passed,  however, 
in  other  approved  seminaries  from  which  the  student  has 
been  regularly  dismissed  to  this  Seminary),  and  who  have 
completed,  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  examiners,  all  the 
studies  included  in  the  curriculum  and  six  hours  of  extra- 
curriculum studies. 

6.  A student  who  has  not  completed  all  the  studies  in- 
cluded in  the  curriculum  shall  not  receive  a certificate  of 
graduation,  and  cannot  become  a candidate  for  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Divinity,  but  he  will  receive  a certificate  setting 
forth  the  studies  he  has  completed  in  the  Seminary. 

Partial  Courses 

Students  not  candidates  for  graduation  may  be  received 
to  a partial  course.  They  must  take  at  least  twelve  hours 


46 


PRINCETON  THEOLOGICAL  SEMINARY 


of  work  weekly  in  the  Seminary,  be  in  residence  at  least 
one  year,  submit  themselves  to  all  the  general  regulations 
of  the  Seminary,  and  fulfill  all  the  requirements  of  the 
classes  they  take. 

Courses  for  Lay- Workers 

Students  not  candidates  for  the  ministry,  but  seeking 
training  for  mission  fields  or  preparation  for  instructor- 
ships  in  Biblical  literature  in  schools  and  colleges,  or  de- 
siring a general  knowledge  of  theological  science,  may  se- 
lect courses  of  study  for  one,  two  or  three  years,  by  means 
of  which  they  may  prepare  themselves  for  their  work  or 
acquire  a knowledge  of  theological  science  suited  to  their 
needs.  Such  students  will  be  accorded  the  hospitalilty  of 
the  class-rooms  and  every  effort  made  to  meet  their  re- 
quirements. 

Courses  for  Graduates 

Provision  is  made  for  advanced  work  in  all  departments 
of  theological  science,  and  facility  is  afforded  to  graduate 
students  for  research-work  by  the  large  libraries  of  the 
Seminary  and  the  University. 

Graduate  students  fall  into  two  classes:  they  may  or  may 
not  be  candidates  for  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Divinity. 

I.  Graduates  of  this  or  of  other  approved  theological 
seminaries  (or  ordained  ministers,  not  graduates,  when 
properly  accredited),  not  candidates  for  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Divinity,  may  be  admitted  to  any  course  of 
study  they  may  select,  subject  to  the  following  conditions: 
(i)  They  must  be  matriculated  and  enrolled  at  the  begin- 
ning of  the  academic  year.  (2)  They  must  select  at  least 
twelve  hours  weekly  of  class-room  work,  or  its  equivalent 
in  special  work,  under  the  direction  of  the  Faculty.  Min- 
isters settled  sufficiently  near  to  Princeton  to  attend  the 
classes  may  distribute  this  work  over  a period  of  years. 
(3)  They  must  complete  all  the  courses  selected,  submitting 


PROSECUTION  OF  THE  COURSE  OF  STUDY 


47 


to  all  requirements  as  to  attendance,  theses  and  examina- 
tions, The  graduate  student  may  undertake  a general 
course  of  theological  study  by  selecting  an  equal  amount 
of  work  in  each  department,  or  he  may  concentrate  his 
work  in  a few  departments  in  order  to  meet  his  special 
needs.  He  will  receive  a certificate  specifying  the  work 
which  he  accomplishes. 

2.  Graduates  of  collegiate  institutions  approved  by  the 
Faculty  who  hold  the  degree  of  Bachelor  or  Master  of  Arts, 
or  other  certificate  for  the  completion  of  an  equivalent 
course  in  liberal  learning,  and  who  shall  have  completed 
either  in  this  Seminary  or  any  approved  school  of  theology 
the  several  courses  of  theological  study  that  constitute  the 
curriculum  Of  this  Seminary,  may  be  received  as  candidates 
for  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Divinity. 

Relations  with  Princeton  University 

In  accordance  with  former  privileges  long  accorded  to 
each  other  by  the  Seminary  and  by  the  College  of  New 
Jersey  and  its  successor  Princeton  University,  relations  of 
academic  reciprocity  have  been  established  by  the  two  insti- 
tutions by  which  students  of  the  one,  who  are  duly  qualified 
and  are  recommended  by  its  Faculty,  are  granted  admission 
to  the  undergraduate  or  graduate  courses  of  the  other  with- 
out charge  for  tuition. 

By  this  arrangement  properly  accredited  students  of  the 
Seminary  may  supplement  their  collegiate  studies  and  in- 
crease their  knowledge  in  special  fields  of  investigation. 
When  satisfactorily  completed  such  courses,  if  graduate 
in  character,  may  be  offered  for  the  degree  of  Master  of 
Arts  in  the  University  or  else  for  the  degree  of  Bachelor 
of  Divinity  in  the  Seminary,  subject  to  the  regulations 
which  govern  the  conferring  of  these  degrees. 

Students  taking  courses  in  either  institution  will  be  sub- 
ject to  the  regulations  which  concern  attendance,  examina- 
tions and  scholarship.

DEGREES 

The  Degree  of  Master  of  Arts 

Matriculated  students  in  the  regular  course  of  the  Semi- 
nary, graduate  or  undergraduate,  who  hold  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Arts  from  Princeton  University  or  the  equiva- 
lent thereof  from  another  institution,  may,  upon  recom- 
mendation by  the  Faculty  of  the  Seminary,  enter  the  Grad- 
uate Department  of  the  University  by  matriculation  and 
become  candidates  for  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts.  The 
degree  may  be  conferred  upon  such  students,  who  maintain 
a second  group  standing  in  their  Seminary  studies,  after 
they  have  taken  graduate  courses  in  the  University  involv- 
ing three  hours  a week  each  term  for  four  terms,  that  is, 
for  two  years;  and  have  stood  satisfactory  examinations 
upon  these  courses,  and  done  such  extra  reading  as  has  been 
assigned.  There  is  a fee  for  the  diploma. 

The  Degree  of  Bachelor  of  Divinity 
Matriculated  students  of  the  Seminary  who  hold  from 
an  institution  approved  by  the  Faculty  the  degree  of  Bach- 
elor or  Master  of  Arts,  or  other  certificate  of  the  comple- 
tion of  an  equivalent  course  in  liberal  learning,  may  become 
candidates  for  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Divinity.  There 
is  no  fee. 

Preliminary  Qualifications 
Every  applicant  must  have  completed  a course  of  liberal 
learning,  as  above  defined,  and  have  satisfactorily  com- 
pleted in  an  approved  theological  institution  substantially 
the  studies  which  constitute  the  curriculum  of  this  Semi- 
nary, or  be  pursuing  the  regular  course  of  study  in  this 
Seminary. 

Conditions  Governing  the  Course 
The  equivalent  of  at  least  twelve  hours  of  class-room 
work  a week  for  one  Seminary  year  is  required.  These 


THE  CIRCULATING  LIBRARY 


DEGREES 


49 


studies  may  be  pursued  in  a special  year  devoted  to  the 
work ; or  in  whole  or  in  part  during  the  prosecution  of  the 
regular  course  of  study  or,  to  a small  amount  in  special 
cases,  during  the  summer  vacations. 

Of  these  studies  an  undergraduate  student  shall  not  take 
more  than  will  suffice  to  bring  the  number  of  hours  of  his 
class-room  work  up  to  the  maximum  number  of  twenty 
hours  weekly ; and  a student  under  condition  in  any  depart- 
ment, or  whose  progress  in  study  has  been  unsatisfactory, 
may  not  take  extra-curriculum  work  with  a view  to  the 
degree  of  Bachelor  of  Divinity. 

Examinations  will  be  held  on  these  studies,  as  on  the 
studies  of  the  undergraduate  courses.  A student  who  at- 
tends advanced  courses  but  does  not  offer  himself  for  ex- 
amination, or  fails  to  stand  the  test  satisfactorily,  shall 
receive  no  credit  therefor.  The  record  of  the  candidate,  his 
thesis  and  examinations  must  be  decidedly  meritorious. 

Chief  Subject  of  Study 

Every  candidate  shall,  during  the  first  week  of  the  ses- 
sion, announce  in  writing  to  the  Registrar  and  Secretary 
of  the  Faculty  which  one  of  the  following  departments  he 
selects  for  his  chief  subject  of  study;  Semitic  Philology; 
Old  Testament;  New  Testament;  Church  History;  Sys- 
tematic Theology,  including  Apologetics;  Practical  Theol- 
ogy; Missions. 

In  addition  to  the  courses  offered  in  the  several  depart- 
ments cognate  courses  in  other  departments  will  be  desig- 
nated as  major  studies  for  the  degree. 

Division  of  Time 

Eight  of  the  required  twelve  hours  must  be  given  to 
studies  in  the  department  which  has  been  elected,  and  the 
remaining  four  hours  may  be  selected  from  any  depart- 
ment. Three  of  the  four  hours  may  be  devoted  to  studies 
in  Princeton  University. 


50 


PRINCETON  THEOLOGICAL  SEMINARY 


Under  the  direction  of  the  Faculty,  however,  a candidate 
for  this  degree  may  be  permitted  to  do  an  2Lmount  of  work 
equivalent  to  twelve  hours  upon  two  or  more  of  the  sub- 
jects in  any  department,  and  it  shall  qualify  him  for  the 
degree  after  such  thesis  or  examination  as  the  Faculty  may 
approve. 

Conferring  the  Degree 

On  the  fulfillment  of  these  conditions,  the  degree  will  be 
conferred  upon  the  candidate  at  the  ensuing  annual  com- 
mencement. Only  in  exceptional  cases  and  for  reasons 
deemed  sufficient  by  the  Faculty  will  the  degree  be  con- 
ferred in  absentia. 


FELLOWSHIPS  AND  PRIZES 


51 


FELLOWSHIPS 

Six  fellowships  have  been  established : one  in  Old  Testa- 
ment Literature,  one  in  New  Testament  Literature,  one  in 
alternate  years  in  Biblical  Theology  and  Semitic  Philology, 
one  in  Apologetics  and  Christian  Ethics,  one  in  Church 
History,  and  one  in  Didactic  and  Polemic  Theology.  A 
student,  upon  deciding  to  compete  for  any  one  of  these 
fellowships,  must  announce  his  intention  to  the  head  of 
the  department.  These  fellowships  are  governed  by  the 
following  general  rules: 

1.  Unless  otherwise  stated,  the  fellowship  is  awarded 
to  that  member  of  the  graduating  class  who  prepares  the 
best  thesis  on  a theme  assigned  by  the  department  in  which 
the  fellowship  is  offered  and  who  stands  highest  in  a special 
examination  held  in  April  upon  an  announced  subject.  But 
no  student  shall  be  awarded  a fellowship  unless  he  has 
maintained  a standing  of  excellence  in  the  studies  of  the 
Seminary  and  unless  his  specified  thesis  and  examination 
are  decidedly  meritorious.  The  thesis,  signed  with  an  as- 
sumed name  and  accompanied  by  a sealed  envelope  contain- 
ing the  real  name  of  its  author,  must  be  presented  on  or 
before  the  first  day  of  April  at  the  office  of  the  Registrar 
and  Secretary  of  the  Faculty. 

2.  If,  in  any  year,  a fellowship  is  not  awarded  as  pro- 
vided for  in  Rule  i,  it  may  be  conferred  by  a majority  vote 
of  the  members  of  the  Faculty  who  may  be  present  at  any 
regular  or  regularly  called  meeting  of  the  Faculty,  upon  any 
graduating  or  graduate  student,  pursuing  during  the  aca- 
demic year  just  closing  his  studies  in  this  Seminary  or  in 
any  other  approved  school  of  theology,  who  may  be  nomi- 
nated by  the  professor  in  charge  of  the  department  to  which 
the  fellowship  is  assigned. 

3.  If  in  any  year  any  of  the  fellowships  on  the  Gelston- 
Winthrop  Foundation,  above  designated  as  fellowships  in 


52 


PRINCETON  THEOLOGICAL  SEMINARY 


Apologetics  and  Christian  Ethics,  Church  History,  and  Di- 
dactic and  Polemic  Theology,  is  neither  awarded  as  pro- 
vided for  in  Rule  i,  nor  conferred,  as  provided  for  in  Rule 
2,  on  notification  by  the  professor  in  charge  of  the  depart- 
ment to  which  it  has  been  assigned  that  he  has  no  nomina- 
tions to  make,  it  may  be  conferred  in  any  department  by  a 
majority  vote  of  the  members  of  the  Faculty  who  may  be 
present  at  any  regular  or  regularly  called  meeting  of  the 
Faculty,  upon  any  graduating  or  graduate  student,  or  upon 
any  student  who  has  been  graduated  not  more  than  five 
years  previously,  either  of  this  Seminary  or  of  any  other 
approved  school  of  theology.  But  in  no  case  shall  it  be  thus 
conferred  unless  the  professor  in  charge  of  the  department 
to  which  the  fellowship  is  assigned  be  one  of  those  voting 
in  the  said  majority. 

4.  The  holder  of  a fellowship  shall  pursue  studies  in 
the  department  in  which  his  fellowship  has  been  awarded 
or  conferred.  He  shall  study  for  a full  academic  year. 
This  year  shall  be  that  next  ensuing  after  his  appointment, 
unless  permission  to  defer  it  be  obtained  from  the  Faculty. 
The  studies  of  all  fellows  shall  be  submitted  for  approval 
to  the  professor  in  charge  of  the  department,  prosecuted 
under  his  direction,  and  reported  to  him  from  time  to  time 
as  he  may  direct.  Fellows  may  pursue  their  studies  either 
in  this  Seminary  or  in  some  other  approved  school  of  the- 
ology, as  may  be  determined  in  each  case,  under  the  advice 
and  with  the  consent  of  the  aforesaid  professor.  But  in 
case  a fellow  neither  is  a graduate  of  this  Seminary  nor  has 
been  in  residence  as  a graduate  student  of  this  Seminary, 
his  studies  as  fellow  must  be  pursued  in  residence  in  this 
Seminary.

study  in  Old  Testament  literature.  It  yields  $600  in  quar- 
terly payments. 

The  subject  for  the  thesis  for  1918-19  will  be:  High 
Places,  and  the  Attitude  of  the  Prophets  toward  them. 

The  subject  for  the  thesis  for  1919-20  will  be:  The  Date

Alumni  Fellowship 

The  Alumni  fellowship  in  New  Testament  studies  was 
created  in  1889  by  gifts  from  the  graduates  of  the  Semi-

The  Stone  Lectureship 

In  1871,  Levi  P,  Stone,  Esq.,  of  Orange,  N.  J.,  a Director 
and  also  a Trustee  of  the  Seminary,  created  the  foundation 
for  a lectureship  which,  in  accordance  with  his  direction, 
has  been  applied  annually  since  1883  to  the  payment  of  a 
lecturer,  chosen  by  the  Faculty  of  the  Seminary,  who  de- 
livers a course  of  lectures  upon  some  topic  kindred  to  theo-

was  increased  through  the  generosity  of  his  sisters. 

The  Students’  Lectureship  on  Missions 
The  Students’  Course  of  Lectures  on  Foreign  Missions

their  efforts,  liberally  supported  by  the  Rev.  James  S.  Den- 
nis, D.D.  It  was  established  in  1893,  and  provides  for  an 
annual  course  of  lectures  on  some  topic  connected  with

time  of  the  second  dynasty  of  Ur,  200  from  the  Early 
Babylonian  period,  and  the  remainder  from  the  Late  Baby- 
lonian and  Persian  periods.

generosity  of  Messrs.  R.  L.  and  A.  Stuart  and  an  additional 
fund  of  twenty-five  thousand  dollars  from  the  estate  of

rarian, consists  of  the  Rev.  William  B.  Sheddan,  assistant 
librarian,  Miss  C.  M.  Alexander,  Miss  Margaretta  Ter- 
hune,  and  Miss  Letitia  N.  Gosman. 

The  students  of  the  Seminary  are  entitled  to  the  free  use 
of  the  library  of  the  University,  subject  to  its  rules. 

Stuart  Hall 

This  building,  erected  in  1876,  is  a gift  to  the  Seminary 
from  Messrs.  R.  L.  and  A.  Stuart.  It  affords  ample  ac- 
commodation in  the  way  of  lecture  rooms,  and  contains  two 
large  auditoriums  intended  for  use  at  public  gatherings  of 
the  institution. 


Dormitories 

Alexander  Hall,  long  known  as  the  Old  Seminary,  was 
the  first  building  erected  by  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the 


64 


PRINCETON  THEOLOGICAL  SEMINARY 


United  States  for  seminary  purposes.  It  was  first  occupied 
by  the  students  in  the  autumn  of  1817.  In  it  the  rooms, 
whether  intended  for  one  occupant  or  two,  are  connected 
with  a separate  bedroom. 

Brown  Hall  was  given  by  Mrs.  Isabella  Brown,  of  Balti- 
more. The  cornerstone  was  laid  by  the  Moderator  of  the 
General  Assembly  on  the  21st  of  May,  1864,  and  it  was 
occupied  in  the  autumn  of  1865.  It  is  a dormitory  of  single 
rooms. 

Hodge  Hall,  built  by  money  from  the  bequest  of  Mrs. 
Mary  Stuart,  widow  of  Mr.  Robert  L.  Stuart,  of  New 
York,  was  completed  during  the  summer  of  1893.  The 
rooms  are  in  suites,  each  study  having  a separate,  connect- 
ing bedchamber,  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  bathrooms  and  a parlor.  The  halls  and  rooms 
are  heated  by  steam  and  lighted  by  electricity. 

G5minasium 

The  Gymnasium,  conveniently  located,  is  equipped  with 
modern  apparatus.  There  are  tennis  courts  and  ball  grounds 
on  the  campus. 

Rooms 

The  rooms  in  the  several  dormitories  are  furnished  with 
bedstead,  mattress,  pillows,  bureau,  washstand,  chairs,  table, 
looking-glass,  bookcase,  floor  rug,  and  either  a clothespress 
or  a closet.  Whatever  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  dor- 
mitories or,  in  case  they  are  full,  in  the  town.  The  draw- 
ing for  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  ac- 
cepted 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  fees 
required  of  students  are  $12  for  steam  heat  and  electric 
light  in  the  study  and  bedrooms.  Board  can  be  obtained 
at  $4.50  a week.  The  total  of  necessary  expenses,  outside 
of  text-books,  is  about  $181  for  the  Seminary  year. 

Books  can  be  bought  at  a reasonable  price  at  the  book 
store  established  in  the  Seminary,  and  some  text-books  are 
provided  by  the  library. 

Scholarships 

Deserving  students,  whose  circumstances  require  it,  re- 
ceive aid  to  a limited  extent  from  the  scholarships  of  the 
Seminary,  and  from  special  funds  contributed  for  this  pur- 
pose. 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  fund  of  the  Seminary. 

This  aid  is  available  to  students  who  are  pursuing  the 
regular  course  of  study,  and  also  for  one  year  to  graduate 
students  seeking  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Divinity.  Other 
students  may  receive  aid  only  exceptionally  by  action  of 
the  Faculty. 

Students  are  advised  not  to  engage  in  distracting  occupa- 
tions during  term  time  with  a view  to  self-support.  Such 
engagements  interfere  seriously  with  their  attention  to 
study,  and  should  be  rendered  unnecessary  by  the  aid  which 
they  may  receive  from  scholarships. 

Care  in  Sickness 

In  case  of  severe  illness,  the  student  has  admission  to  the 
Isabella  McCosh  Infirmary,  in  which  one  bed  has  been  fully, 


66 


PRINCETON  THEOLOGICAL  SEMINARY 


and  another  partially,  endowed  by  the  Seminary.  The  en- 
dowment does  not  cover  expenses  for  food.  The  physician 
in  charge  may  be  consulted  without  expense  during  office 
hours  at  the  Infirmary. 

Reports  to  Presbyteries 

Annual  reports  are  sent  to  presbyteries  of  the  attendance 
of  students  under  their  care  upon  the  exercises  of  the  Semi- 
nary. In  case  of  deficiency  in  scholarship  this  also  is  re- 
ported. 

Examinations 

The  annual  examinations  are  conducted  in  writing  and  the 
results  are  reported  to  the  Committee  on  Examination  and 
Visitation  appointed  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  of  which 
the  Rev.  John  F.  Patterson,  D.D.,  is  chairman.  The  mid- 
year examinations  will  be  held  January  14-15,  and  the 
final  examinations  will  be  concluded  on  Friday,  May  2. 

Students  absent  from  or  conditioned  in  the  final  examina- 
tions must  submit  to  an  examination  before  the  second 
Tuesday  of  the  ensuing  October.  The  examinations  neces- 
sary for  this  purpose  begin  immediately  after  the  opening 
of  the  session  in  September,  and  are  held  according  to  a 
published  schedule. 

The  Academic  Year 

The  Seminary  opens  on  the  fourth  Wednesday  of  Sep- 
tember and  closes  the  Tuesday  thirty-one  weeks  and  six 
days  thereafter. 

The  drawing  for  rooms  by  newly  matriculated  students 
takes  place  in  Hodge  Hall,  at  3 o’clock  in  the  afternoon  of 
the  first  day  of  the  session.  The  opening  address  is  de- 
livered in  Miller  Chapel  at  ii  o’clock  in  the  forenoon  of 
the  following  day. 

The  Board  of  Directors  holds  two  stated  meetings  each 
year;  the  first  on  the  second  Tuesday  of  October,  the  sec-

ond  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  Mon- 
day in  November,  the  second  on  the  Tuesday  before  the 
second  Saturday  in  May. 

The  annual  sermon  at  the  close  of  the  session  will  be 
preached  on  Sabbath,  May  4th,  by  the  President  of  the 
Seminary.  At  this  service  the  sacrament  of  the  Lord’s 
Supper  will  be  administered. 

The  usual  diplomas  will  be  conferred  on  the  next  gradu- 
ating class  on  Tuesday,  May  6th,  in  the  presence  of  the 
Board  of  Directors,  when  the  students  will  be  dismissed 
with  an  address  by  a representative  of  the  Board. 

Vacations 

The  summer  vacation  gives  to  students  a suitable  oppor- 
tunity for  engaging  in  preaching  and  in  other  religious 
work,  under  the  direction  of  their  pastors,  presbyteries,  or 
the  Boards  of  the  Church.  Such  work  furnishes  an  im- 
portant supplement  to  the  training  of  the  Seminary,  afford- 
ing experience  and  familiarity  with  the  active  duties  of  the 
ministry,  which  will  be  invaluable  as  a part  of  the  prepara- 
tion for  the  sacred  office. 

A recess  of  two  weeks  is  also  taken  at  the  Christmas 
season.
