AN 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. INFORMATION AND REGULATIONS (CONCERNING THE DIVINITY SCHOOL) The Divinity School includes I. GENERAL INFORMATION ORGANIZATION 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 correspond 1. Fellowships. ence 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) 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. d) The Drake Memorial Biblical Fellowship of $6,000, founded by Mrs. Caroline M. Drake, of St. Paul, Minn., the income to be used for the benefit of a Fellow in the Divinity School whose specialty is the study of the Sacred Scriptures. NOTE.-The above four Fellowships are, by direction of the founders, limited to Baptist students. e) Four Divinity School Fellowships, each yielding $405 for one year, are assigned to students who have spent not less than two years in residence at a theological school of approved standing. 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. 4) Method of Application-See page 76 of this Register. 2. Scholarships.-The following Scholarships, available for students in the Graduate Divinity School, are by direction of the founders limited to Baptist students: 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 of unusual promise. 2) The McClurg Scholarship of $2,000, founded by Miss Mary F. McClurg, 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) The Charles Miller Burchard Memorial Scholarship of $2,500, endowed by Mrs. H.

Diploma and certificate fees.-The charge for the diploma of the University is $10. and for the certificate, $5.00.

The General Library is open to Divinity students, and each Department of the Divinity School has its own Departmental Library, located in connection with the lecture-rooms of the Department to which it belongs, and intended for reference and special research. Among the collections owned by the University and of special value to the Divinity School are the library of Professor E. W. Hengstenberg, late professor in the University of Berlin; that of Dr. George B. Ide; the Colwell Library of the American Bible Union, collected by Dr. T. J. Conant while prosecuting his work of translating the Bible, and said to be one of the finest translation collections in existence; and the original library of the Baptist Union Theological Seminary, consisting largely of books in History, Science, Sociology, and Literature. Large accessions are also being constantly made by purchase of books, especially for the Departmental Libraries of the Divinity School. II. REGULATIONS OF THE GRADUATE DIVINITY SCHOOL Besides the general regulations of the University and the regulations of the Divinity School, the following special regulations apply to the Graduate Divinity School: 1. Admission. 1) Candidates for a degree.-Candidates for a degree in the Graduate Divinity School are required to present the diploma of an accepted college, certifying that they have received the Bachelor's degree. If the candidate's college degree was obtained without classical Greek, he must (before taking Course 1 in New Testament Greek) either (a) pass the examination in Greek 1 and 2 for admission to the Junior College of the University, or (b) do two units work in classical Greek in an academy or college of the University (six academy Majors or four college Majors). In the latter case the work so done will be credited as three Majors toward the requirements for a Divinity degree, if the student's college degree has been equalized with that of the University of Chicago; otherwise as four Majors toward the equalization of his college degree with that of the University. If the candidate's college degree was obtained without Latin, he must, before obtaining a Divinity degree, fulfil the Latin requirement of the University of Chicago for the Bachelor's degree. 2) Unclassified students.-Unclassified students may be admitted to the courses of instruction without examination, provided that (a) they can show good reason for not entering one of the regular classes; (b) they can give evidence to the Deans and the particular instructor under whom they desire to study that they are prepared to undertake the proposed subject or subjects. 3) Students under other Faculties.-(a) All the departments of the Divinity School are open to Graduate and Senior College students, the particular courses offered being determined by the Head of each Department; (b) Senior College students who have completed nine Majors of Senior College work are permitted to elect the nine remaining Majors in the Graduate Divinity School, and the Majors so elected are credited toward the D.B. degree. Work of the same kind, amount, and quality done in other institutions receives the same credit. 4) Admission to advanced standing.- Students coming from theological schools of high grade receive credit for work already done. 5) Medical missionaries.-Special arrangements may be made in the case of students preparing for work as medical missionaries. 2.
