SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY The School of Theology has in its enrollment graduates from forty-seven colleges and universities located in thir- teen states, in lndia, and in the Orient. The students, with few exceptions, are working to help defray their expenses while studying for the B. D. degree. Thirty-eight students are serving pastoral charges Within a radius of two hun- dred fifty miles of Dallas. During the year the School of Theology has had two visiting professors in addition to its regular faculty group -Dr. William H. Bernhardt of Iliff School of Religion, and Dr. I. Paul Reed, who for many years has been teaching at Kwansei Gakuin University in lapan. During the past year, the seminary has been granted membership in The American Association of Theological Schools, and has upon invitation become a contributing member of the American Schools of Oriental Research. Provision was made to assist the professors in attending the annual meetings of the scholarly societies of their various fields. Arrangements were completed for the pub- lication of a quarterly bulletin, the first issue of which appeared during the Spring semester. Much work was done toward establishing a Circulating Library under the direction of the School of Theology. This library, when well established, will make available to the ministry of the Southwest the choicest of theological literature at a negligible cost. Comprehensive examinations on required courses of- fered during the three-year period were given for the first time the past Spring to students desiring the B. D. degree. 0 PAGE 23 E. B.
