IV. A HISTORICAL STATEMENT

The Baptist Union Theological Seminary was originally established and is still controlled by the corporation known as "The Baptist Theological Union located at Chicago." The institution was fully organized in 1867, and for twenty-five years enjoyed an uninterrupted prosperity. The number of students, attracted from all parts of the country, increased annually; able scholars were enrolled on the faculty of instruction; men of eminent business ability and large liberality managed the finances, and provided the buildings, libraries, and endowments.

When Mr. Rockefeller made his first subscription of $1,000,000 to the University, he made it a condition of the gift that the Seminary should become the Divinity School of the University. In order to realize this condition he further stipulated that $100,000 of his subscription should be used for the erection of a building for the Seminary on the University campus, and that $100,000 of it should be set apart for the further endowment of the Seminary. In keeping with these requirements Articles of Agreement were entered into between the boards of the two institutions by which the Theological Seminary became the Divinity School of the University of Chicago.

V. INFORMATION AND REGULATIONS

I. GENERAL INFORMATION

ORGANIZATION

The Divinity School includes

1) The Graduate Divinity School, designed primarily for college graduates.

2) The English Theological Seminary, offering a four years' prescribed curriculum in English subjects, consisting of resident courses in the Summer Quarter and non-resident correspondence courses in the other three quarters

of the year.

3) The Dano-Norwegian Theological Seminary, in which the instruction is given principally in the Danish and Norwegian languages.

4) The Swedish Theological Seminary, in which the instruction is given principally in the Swedish language.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIPS

1. Fellowships.-(1) The following Fellowships are available for students in the Graduate Divinity School:

a) The "Biblical Fellowship,” yielding $420 for one year, is assigned to that student who has spent not less than two years in residence at a theological school of approved standing, and who, in the judgment of the Faculty, has shown special proficiency in biblical subjects.

b) The "Historical Fellowship," yielding $420 for one year, is assigned to that student who has spent not less than two years in residence at a theological school of approved standing, and who, in the judgment of the Faculty, has shown special proficiency in historical subjects.

c) The "Theological Fellowship," yielding $420 for one year, is assigned to that student who has spent not less than two years in residence at a theological school of approved standing, and who, in the judgment of the Faculty, has shown special proficiency in theological subjects.

NOTE.-The above four Fellowships are not limited to Baptist students.

2) Service. In order to cultivate independence on the part of the student, and to obtain for him the advantage which proceeds from practical work, each student on a Fellowship is expected to render assistance of some kind in connection with the work of the Divinity School. This assistance consists, for the most part, in service as an instructor, or as assistant in reading examination papers, or as assistant in the departmental library; but in no case will a student be expected, or allowed, to devote more than one-sixth of his time to such service.

3) Outside work.-During the time of appointment a Fellow may not have pastoral charge of a church or do outside work for pecuniary compensation without the special permission of the Faculty or the President.

2. Scholarships.-The following Scholarships are available for students in the Graduate Divinity School:

1) The "Van Husan Scholarship" of $2,000, endowed by the family of the late Caleb Van Husan, of Detroit, Mich., the income to be used for the benefit of a member of the Senior Class who gives unusual promise.

2) The "McClurg Scholarship" of $2,000, founded by Miss Mary F. MeClurg, of St. Paul, Minn., the income to be used for the benefit of some graduate of Pillsbury Academy or other member of the Divinity School approved by the donor and the Faculty.

3. Scholarship funds. In addition to the above the University has set aside the income from certain specific sources as a Divinity Scholarship Fund. The income from these sources is at present about $12,000.

From all the above-named sources, and by the co-operation of the Northwestern Baptist Education Society, the Graduate Divinity School is able to offer to all approved applicants Annual Scholarships varying from $105 to $280 a year ($35 to $93.33 a quarter).

Rockefeller, Divinity halls, accommodating 140 students, have been erected upon the University grounds, in which furnished rooms are rented to students regularly matriculated in the Divinity School at from $8 to $12 a quarter, this charge being intended to cover the expense of heat, light, and care of room.
