CATALOGUE OF THE SULPICIAN SEMINARY CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY W A S H I N G T O N , D. C. FOR THE Scholastic Year 1923-1924 WASHINGTON, D. C. 1924 VësdftMed THE SULPICIAN SEMINARY WASHINGTON, D. C. This institution is a theological seminary, conducted by the Sulpician Fathers, for the education of young men for the diocesan clergy of the United States. It is situated opposite the main entrance to the Catholic University, on Michigan Avenue, at the corner of Fourth Street. The property, which contains nine and one-half acres, was purchased in 1910. The present Seminary build- ing was begun in the spring of 1917. The first section of it, furnishing accommodations for about eighty-five students, was opened, September 20, 1919 ; it was solemnly blessed by Cardinal Gibbons and placed under the august patronage of Our Lady of the Presentation, September 23, 1919. A second section of the building, accommodating thirty addi- tional students, was erected the following year. This institution was founded in the conviction that the time was ripe for a Seminary, which, in addition to main- taining high spiritual and intellectual standards of training, might insure even a larger service to religion by drawing upon the special resources of the Catholic University, thus providing a consecrated body of men who shall bear, as upon their shoulders, the parochial school in this country and become efficient in the work of Catholic charities. It aims, accordingly, at providing instruction in the standard seminary courses especially for students who have a capac- ity for a thorough training and who, besides, can follow with advantage the courses in the Departments of Educa- tion and of Sociology at the University. Hence, it seeks only students, whose ability, health, and tastes give reason for expecting that they will profit by this plan of studies. The curriculum comprises the courses of study prescribed by the Holy See for the Department of Theology in ecclesi- astical seminaries. For the purpose of more efficient work, the size of the classes is limited. The Seminary, while it is not a corporate part of the Catholic University, is regularly affiliated with that institution, and its proximity makes it possible for the Seminarians to attend supplementary courses there and for the Seminary to secure the services of the professors of the University. Moreover, by the terms of affiliation, students of this house may, upon the condi- tions stated below, receive the degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theology from the University. 4 FACULTY OF THE SEMINARY VERY REV.

They will be required to give evidence of a thorough grasp of Scholastic philosophy, of facility in the use of Latin, and of a sufficient knowledge of Greek to follow the courses in exegesis in the New Testament. Their proficiency in these subjects will be tested by an entrance examination. Candi- dates for admission to higher classes will be examined also in the subjects already pursued by the class which they pro- pose to enter. All candidates are required to apply for admission a rea- sonable time before the beginning of the scholastic year and to submit certificates, in which will be . stated the studies which they have previously pursued, the credits which they have received in them, and their class standing. Moreover, each student is required to present the following certificates and letters of recommendation: a written recommendation from the Superior of the institution or institutions which he has previously attended; a letter of recommendation from his pastor; testimonials of ordination, in case that he has received any of the Orders; the formal authorization of his Bishop to enter this Seminary, if he has been adopted into a diocese. PROGRAMME OF STUDIES The curriculum of this institution embraces the theologi- cal sciences prescribed by the Holy See for seminaries. In this respect, as well as in regard to the length of the course, the time given to each subject, and the entire character of the instruction, this Seminary aims, above all, at perfect conformity to the letter and to the spirit of the legislation of the Church. The curriculum is divided into three main courses or 6 groups of studies. The design of the first of these is to provide thorough instruction in the introductory and fun- damental parts of the sacred sciences. The second course, which extends over a period of two years, is devoted to the study of the major part of dogmatic and moral theology and of other ecclesiastical sciences. The principal object of the third course is the immediate preparation of the candi- date to the priesthood for the more practical work of the ministry. The Catholic University will admit to a special examina- tion students who, after the completion of three years' study of theology, are proposed by this Seminary, and will grant to successful candidates the Baccalaureate of Sacred Theology. The entire student body is required to attend each year one of the major courses in Education or in Sociology given at the Catholic University. Credits obtained from these courses are sufficient to meet the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. This degree will be granted by the University to students who have followed these courses for four years upon the presentation of a written disser- tation. Attention is respectfully called to the advantages of this degree for those destined to work in colleges or high schools. By special arrangement, several series of lectures on sub- jects related to the regular courses of the Seminary will be given by the professors of the University. The following programme indicates the courses which will be given during the scholastic year, 1924-1925. Private instruction in other parts of theology cannot be provided for students who have made a partial course in another seminary. 7 First Year Course DOGMATIC THEOLOGY.—De Vera Religione; De Ecclesia Christi; De Fontibus Revelationis.

Basselin for the edu- cation of young men for the priesthood, was opened last October. "The purpose of the founder was not only to pro- vide an excellent preparation for the studies of the theologi- cal seminary, but also to provide a special training in sacred elocution, to as many students as the foundation will sup- port. The trust has been accepted by the Board of Trustees of the Catholic University of America, and the conduct of the College has been committed by them to the Sulpician Fathers, at whose Seminary at the Catholic University, Basselin College is for the present located" (Official state- ment of the Right Reverend Rector of the University, Bishop Shahan). The granting of a Basselin scholarship is entirely in the hands of the Catholic University. All enquiries regarding Basselin College should be addressed either to the President of Basselin College, Rev. Thomas C. Mulligan, S.S., D.D., or to Rt. Rev. Thomas J. Shahan, D.D. 16
