Thelogical Department DEAN W. H. NELSON The School of Theology of Lane College is quite as old as the College itself. This Seminary has to its credit many of the most leading characters-Presid- .ing Elders, and General Officers of the C. M. E. Church-and two Bishops of the Church. This Seminary is affiliated with similar schools throughout the country, and is catalogued as full fledged, doing regular Theological work covering a regular Theological Course embracing the degree of B.D., based upon an A. B. diploma of any reputable college. An English Course is provided for students who are not able to take the regular A.B. course, and upon satisfactorily completing the English Course they will be graduated with the usual English diploma without a degree. This is done in all similar Theological Institutions. Arrangements exist for conferring the D. D. degree upon Worthy min-. isters by correspondence courses after pursuing a two-years' prescribed work in literary studies in connection with the Seminary. The best lecturers are secured annually to cover all possible subjects of Theological lines. The Department numerically grows each year, and the past year has been the most satisfactory of many years. Page sixty-three H!

Thelogieal Students OFFICERS J. R. COLE - - - - - President J. A. ADAMS - - Secretary O. C. BURROW ---------- Treasurer The work of the Theological Department has been so forceful and sincere that it leaves the department on a pinnacle of fame and recognition that will be the goal of other leaders of the department and of this same group of leaders in the years to come. Our thoughtful and active President made it his business to be the founder and organizer of the travelling missionary programs given by the department in the various churches of the city. A number of pulpits were filled by the different members of the department, and these humble servants, under the guidance of the President and with the Council of the Dean, have built a monument in the hearts of the people of Jackson that the greatest calamities of nature and the combined forces of the demons of destruction can not tear down, yea not even move it from its base, because that base is the base of service, a base of service for Christ and His people, regardless of race, creed or color.
