York ll TERMS OF ADMISSION. logfzgzjoo- 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 deportment, that he is in full communion with some regular church, and that he has passed through a regular course of Academic study, or, wanting this, he must submit himself to an examination in regard to the branches of literature usually taught in such a course. 'Wlieii 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 certificate from the Presbytery declaring this fact, is received as suf- ncient 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 regular 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 iirst 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. Messrs. Robert Carter QS Brothers, of New York, will, at the beginning of the next term, present to the entering student who shall pass the best exami- nation in the Elementary Grammar and the Reading Lessons which it con- tains, the following valuable works, viz.: Haldane on Romans, Hodge on Ephesians, Hodge on Corinthians, Hodge's Essays and Reviews, A. A. Hodge's Outlines of Theology, Hornets Introduction to the Scriptures, Jacobus on Genesis, Jacobus on the Gospels, Jacobus on Acts, Kitto's Bible Illustrations, Pool's Annotations on the Bible, or in lieu of these 'any other books, whiih the student may himself' select from their publications, to the value of 350. And the second and third in merit, shall likewise be presented with S510 worth of books selected from their publications. Any who may choose to compete for these volumes must appear for exami- nation on the second day ofthe session, Friday, September 8, 1871. 12 COURSE OF STUDY. FIRST YEAR.

The Junior Class has six weekly exercises in Hebrew, one in Introduction to the Old Testament, one in Introduction to the New Testament, one in Biblical History, two in the Exegesis of Paul's Epistles, and one in Homi- letics. W The Middle Class has three weekly exercises in Church History, and two in each ofthe other departments. The Senior Class has two Weekly exercises in each department. Instruction in the Seminary is mostly given by lectures, thoughappropriate text-books or works suited for collateral reading are recommended in each department. THE SEVERAL 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 instructions here given. INTRODUCTION TO THE SCRIPTURES. General Introduction to the Old and the New Testaments embraces the sub- jects of the Canon, the Original Languages of Scripture, Ancient Manuscripts and Versions, Sacred Criticism and the History and Principles of Scripture Interpretation. Special Introduction em braces an account of each bool: severally, its author- ship, integrity, design, and structure, together with a general statement of its contents, and a more particular examination of the most interesting and ini- portant questions relating to its criticism and interpretation, The course is intended to include at least a general survey of every book in the Bible. HEBREYW, Hebrew is taught throughout the course. But the grammatical study of the language as such is confined mainly to the Hrst year, in which a larger portion of time is devoted to it than to any other single branch. The Junior Class is practiced not simply in translation and parsing, but in the derivation of words, the comparison of synonyms, the relations of kindred roots and Indo-European analogies, and in converting English into Hebrew. A beginning is also made the first year in the application of the knowledge of the language to the work of exposition, which is carried out more fully in the subsequent years of the course. 14 K 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 Life ot' Christ is exhibited in its several periods, with a careful analysis ofthe 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 reference to the life and labors of the Apostle Paul, and the early planting of the Christian Church. Special introduction to the various Epistles is inserted in their proper chronological place. THEOLOGY. The basis of the course of Systematic Theology is laid in the Junior year, by the instruction given in Exegetical Theology, the aim of which is to de- velop, by a direct exposition of his writings, the doctrines taught by the Apostle Paul. In the Middle and Senior years, 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 de- crees of God, creation, providence, miracles, the law of God, 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 oiiices , the nature, necessity, perfection and extent of the atone- ment, His kingdom, His humiliation and exaltation, vocation, regenera- tion, faith, repentance, justification, sanctiiication, eschatology, the Sac- raments. BIBLICAL AND ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY. The Junior Class is instructed in Old Testament History as it stands related to the Christian Dispensation, and the general history of the world before Christ. The study of Church History is pursued with the Middle Class from the founding of the Christian Church to the period of' the Reformation. The Seniors are occupied with the period following the Reformation and extending 15 ., . to the present time, including the history of the separate church organizations in Europe, America, and the East. The whole course is conducted by lecture and recitation upon the subject of the lecture, with constant reference to original authorities and the best books for collateral reading. Special attention is given throughout to the historical order of revelation and development of doctrine, to Christian life, and the rela- tions ofthe Church to the World. ECCLESIASTICAL, HOMILETIC, AND PASTORAL THEOLOGY. Sacred Rhetoric is made a study of the first year, with the help of a text- book tVinet's Homiletics, at present,j and lectures, followed by exercises in the analysis of texts, and writing of skeletons. Church Government is made a study ofthe second year, mostly by lectures. These embrace the nature ofthe Church, and the different schemes of Church polityg membership in the Church, thc baptized, the full communicantsg oftlicers of the Church 3 commission, succession, and parity of Ministers 5 ruling Elders, in the Warrant, qualifications, duties, and tenure of the oiiiceg Deacons, in the origin, importance, distinct and perpetual use of the otlice, Church Courts, in their Warrant, gradation, and power. Pastoral Theology is studied in the third year. A call to the ministry, the aptitudes. and attainments required 5 the duties, relations, and responsibilities of the pastoral care, the Ordinances of Divine appointment in the Church, Ordinances of worship, including the Sacraments and public prayer, preaching and praisein the pastoral administration, systematic beneicence, Src., Dis- cipline, in its principles, forms of procedure, subjects, objects, dmc. These and other topics connected, are treated historically, as well as discussed in the light of Scripture, and according to the standards ofthe Presbyterian Church. RHETORICAL EXERCISES AND SERMONIZING. DR. C. W. HODGE presides at the weekly speaking of the Junior and Middle Classes, each member of which is, in his turn, expected to deliver original dis- courses, memoriier. The weekly preaching of the Senior Class, which- is likewise memorizfer, is under the direction of DR. DICGILL, who also has exercises with all the classes in efctempore speaking, in writing sermons, and in preparing written criticisms upon the sermons of others. 16 Special instruction is given in the art of elocution, with appropriate vocal exercises, by Prof. S. G. PEABODY, who is in constant attendance at the Semi- nary, and by Professors MARK BAILEY, of New Haven, and ROBERT KIDD, of Indiana, by whom the Institution is successively visited at dii'l'erent periods in each session. This is without cost to the students, the expenses being borne by generous friends of the Seminary. Every student is required, prior to graduation, to exhibit to the Professor of Homiletic instruction two lectures and four popular sermons, which shall be approved by him. OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT. The Senior and Middle Classes are united in the studies belonging to these departments. The subjects assigned to these two years, though related, are so far distinct that the order of succession is of comparative indiiierenceg and the facil- ity of the two classes in the original languages of Scripture, is so nearly on a par as to admit of this combination being made without prejudice to either, while it is hoped that it will prove serviceable and stimulating to both, and be a useful economy of time. During the present term, accordingly, both these classes are engaged in the study of the Typical Institutions of the Old Testament, and of Special Introduction to the Pentateuch, and the Historical and Poetical Books. A selected portion of the Book of Psalms is also read in Hebrew. This is studied in connection with the Commentaries of Alexander, Hengstenberg, and De- litzsch, a comparison of the Vulgate and Septuagint, and a careful examina- tion of the etyrnologies of words and synonyms, each student being allowed his option, within certain limits, as to the method of study which he shall select. In the New Testament they are engaged in the study of the Gospels and the Life of Christ, this is presented in detail and in its successive periods, the labors of various harmonists reviewed, and the course of events and the progress of our Lord's teaching examined. Next year these classes will be occupied with the studies in those depart- ments, which, in the general plan of the course, are assigned to the third year, viz. : Special Introduction to the Prophets, and the Acts of the Apostles, and Special Introduction to the Epistles. 17 OPTIONAL STUDIES. Hebrew is the only Oriental language which is taught in the regular course 5 but such students as desire it, may be instructed in Chaldee, Syriac, Arabic, or in the elements of Sanscrit. Private classes may also be formed for classical reading, Biblical exegesis, or other subjects collateral to the course. On application to the Professors of the College, students can have the privi- lege of attending lectures in that institution. Instruction in the French and German languages can be obtained from com- petent teachers at the student's expense. RELIGIOUS EXERCISES. Daily prayers, which every student is expected to attend, are conducted in the morning by members of the Senior Class, and in the evening by the Pro- fessors. On Sabbath morning 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. Missionary meetings are held every Sabbath evening among the students. The concert of prayer on the first Monday of each month is under the direc- tion of the Professors. Various other meetings for devotion or mutual exhortation are maintained either by thc students as a body, or by each class separately, by the graduates of the several colleges, Sac., dsc. Opportunities for active usefulness and observation of pastoral life, are ailorded in the Churches of Princeton and its vicinity, there being nearly twenty Presbyterian Churches, besides those of other denominations, 'within some ten miles of the Seminary. LIBRARY. The elegant library edifice is the gift of James Lenox, LL.D., of New York. It now contains upwards of twenty-one thousand volumes, chiefly theological, including, in addition to many rare and costly works, the large and unique 18 collection of pamphlets presented by the Rev. Dr. Sprague, and the valuable library of D1'. Addison Alexander, the gift of Messrs. R. L. and A. Stuart. The library has, from the generosity of the last-named gentlemen, a fund of ten thousand dollars, whose annual proceeds are devoted to its maintenance and increase. It is open two hours of every weekday for reading and consul- tationg and books may be drawn from it by students three days in the week. Text-books may be kept out during the entire term. Students also have the privilege of using the library ot' the College. The reading-room is under the management of the Alexander Society, and is well supplied with the leading newspapers and periodicals. Students are admitted on the payment of a small annual fee. Rooivrs, Eire. The eommodious buildings of the Seminary afford ample accommodations for students. The rooms, both in the original edifice and in Brown Hall, are furnished with a bed, bedstead, bureau, washstand, chairs, table, bookcase, and elothespress. Wliatever may be needed or desired beyond this must be sup- plied by the students themselves. Complete arrangements are made on the spacious grounds of the Seminary for gymnastic exercises, according to the most approved methods for sedentary men. EXPENSES.
