THEOLOGIAL SEMINARY. 
 
 TERMS OF ADMISSION. 
 
 The Seminary is open to Students of all demominations. 
 Any one, in order to be admitted to the regular course, 
 must be of pure moral character, and must have received a 
 thorough college education ; or, being destitute of this, 
 must pass examination in the studies prescribed as prepara- 
 tory to the Special course. Students from other Theologi- 
 cal Seminaries may be admitted ad eundem., on presenting 
 a certiiicatc of good standing and regular dismission. Ap- 
 plicants may be admitted to advanced standing in either of 
 the classes, on satisfactory examination in the studies alrea- 
 dy pursued by those classes. 
 
 It is very important that all applicants for admission 
 should be present at the opening of the academic year, or 
 at most within a few weeks thereafter. The delay of even 
 a few weeks, if it do not render admission impossible, will 
 seriously embarrass the studies of the entire year. 
 
 TERMS AND VACATION. 
 
 The Academic Year is divided into two terms — the Lec- 
 ture, and the Reading term ; the former commencing the 
 first Wednesday of October, and continuing till the last 
 Thursday in April ; the latter extending from the first 
 Wednesday in June to the beginning of the Lecture term, 
 a vacation of six weeks intervening between the close of 
 the Lecture term and the commencement of the Reading 
 term. 
 
 The Lecture term is to be devoted to attendance upon the 
 regular exercises of the Seminary. The Reading term is 
 
10 
 
 CATALOGUE OF THE CHICAGO 
 
 intended to be passed by tlie student under the supervision 
 of some Ciiristian pastor, under whose care he may pm-sue 
 the course of study prescribed by the Faculty, while at the 
 same time acquainting himself with the details and practical 
 duties of the pastoral life. At the close of the Reading 
 term the student is required to present a certificate from the 
 pastor of his diligence in study, and propriety of deport- 
 ment. It is the hope and design of the founders of the 
 Seminary, to combine, in this manner, the essential features 
 and advantages of the two methods of Theological educa- 
 tion — the old and the new. 
 
 Annivebsakt. — The public Anniversary is held on the 
 last Thursday in April. 
 
 EXPENSES, ETC. 
 
 1^0 expense is incurred for instruction, for the use of the 
 public rooms, the use of the library, or for any incidental 
 purposes of the like nature. The course is designed to be 
 entirely gratuitous, so far as regards the general instruction 
 of the Seminary. The private expenses of the student will 
 vary, of course, w^ith his personal habits and manner of 
 living. 
 
 At present prices, board and lodging may be obtained in 
 good private families for about three dollars per week. 
 Some of the students have been furnished with board and 
 lodging gratuitously by Christian families in the cit}^ ; and 
 all whose circumstances require it, are aided to the amount 
 of one hundred dollars by the contributions of the Congre- 
 gational Churches of the North-West, which annually con- 
 tribute to this object. This sum usually covers the expense 
 of board and room. 
 
 In ordinary times, students may aid themselves in various 
 ways — by teaching or other employment — to a considerable 
 amount. Members of the Senior class are also able to assist 
 themselves by preaching in vacant pulpits in the vicinity. 
 
THEOLOGICAL SEMINAKY. H

THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. 13 
 
 GENERAL RHETORICAL EXERCISES. 
 
 There is a weekly Rhetorical Exercise, in M^hich the 
 Junior and Middle Classes participate, devoted to Essay's, 
 Orations and Discussions. 
 
 EXAMINATIONS. 
 
 There are two public examinations in each year. On the 
 iirst Thursday and Friday of the Lecture Term, the students 
 will be examined on the studies assigned to them for the 
 previous Reading Term. There will also be an examina- 
 tion at the close of each Lecture Term, of all the classes, on 
 all the studies of that term ; the Senior class being then 
 examined also on all the studies of their Theological 
 course. 
 
 SPECIAL COURSE. 
 
 As there are many who have not had the advantage, in 
 early life, of a complete college or classical education, who 
 may yet possess both the talent and the piety requisite for 
 the Christian ministry, and may entertain an earnest desire 
 to devote themselves to this work, it was thought best by 
 the Directors, in founding this Seminary, to make provision 
 for the Theological education of this class of Christian 
 young men. For this purpose a Special Course is arranged, 
 with reference to such persons. 
 
 In this course the study of the Hebrew is omitted, and, 
 instead of it, special attention is given to the Greek lan- 
 guage and Exegesis, Rhetoric, and Logic. In other respects. 
 
14 CATALOGUE OF THE CHICAGO 
 
 the Special Course is substantially the same with the Regu- 
 lar Course. 
 
 Applicants for admission to this course must bring satis- 
 factory testimonials respecting tlieir church-membership, 
 and their possession of good natural talents, and of such 
 qualities as render it expedient for them to enter the minis- 
 try. They must possess a good English education ; and 
 they will also be particularly examined in Paley's !Xatural 
 Theology, Evidences of Christianity, and Haven's Mental 
 Philosophy. It is also very desirable that they should 
 have a knowledge of the rudiments of the Greek language. 
 They should be present promptly at the beginning of the 
 Lecture Term ; and they cannot, ordinarily, be received at a 
 later period than four weeks thereafter. 
 
 The Special Course is designed only for those who are too 
 far advanced in life, or for other reasons are not able, to pur- 
 sue a full literary course, and who yet are supposed to have 
 some special fitness for the ministry. 
 
 LIBRARY. 
 
 The Seminary Library contains, at present, about 1400 
 volumes, mainly works of standard value ; and is receiving 
 frequent additions. It comprises the valuable collection of 
 books received from the estate of the late Rev. George "W. 
 Perkins. 
 
 SOCIETIES. 
 
 There are in the Seminary a Rhetorical Society, and a 
 Society of Inquiry. The former has a Reading Room, sup- 
 plied with many of the best religious iournals. The object 
 of the latter is to gain missionary intelligence, and to culti- 
 vate a missionary spirit. 
 
THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. 15 
 
 SEMINARY GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS. 
 
 The Seminary grounds front the center of Union Park — 
 the hirgest park in the city. The location is pleasant and 
 healthful, removed from the busier portions of the city, and 
 yet connected with the centre of business by two lines of 
 city railway. The permanent buildings of the Institution 
 have not been commenced. The exercises arc at present 
 conducted in a neat and commodious frame building, situa- 
 ted upon the Seminary grounds, and containing, besides all 
 the requisite apartments for Lectures, Library, and Reading 
 Room, a chapel of sufficient size for the purposes of Sabbath 
 worship. 
 
 GENERAL REMARKS. 
 
 Public worship is held in the Seminary, on the Sabbath, 
 and ample opportunity is furnished the students for labor in 
 mission Sabbath Schools, and other spheres of Christian 
 activity. 
 
 During the present year, free admission to the Lectures 
 of the Medical Schools in the city, has been offered to the 
 members of the Seminary, 
 
 "While the instructors hold out to young men no other 
 inducement than that of a sound Theological training, it 
 certainly is true that the location of the Seminary furnishes 
 very great facilities to those who are designing to find a 
 field of labor at the West.
