EVERY person applying for admission into the Seminary, must produce satis- factory written testimonials, that he possesses good natural talents, and is of a prudent and discreet deportmentg that he is in full communion With some regular church 5 and that he has passed through a regular course of Academic studyg or, wanting this, he must submit himself to an examination in regard to the branches of literature usually taught in such a course. When a student has been received under the care of a Presbytery, and has passed his examination on the studies usually pursued in College With appro- bation, a certiticate from the Presbytery declaring this fact, is received as suhi- cient to answer every requisition in regard to testimonials. When a student who has been connected with any Theological Seminary seeks admission into this, he must produce testimonials of his good standing, and 1'6glgZIT dismission, before he can be received. A knowledge of Hebrew is not essential to students entering the Junior Class, inasmuch as the rudiments of this language form part of the regular course of instruction given in the first year. But a previous acquaintance with the Written characters, and, if possible, with as much as is contained in Green's Elementary Grammar, would be of great service to beginners.
