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.
