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

GENERAL INFORMATION

ORGANIZATION

The Divinity School includes

1. The Graduate Divinity School, designed 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.

FELLOWSHIPS, SCHOLARSHIPS, AND REMUNERATIVE RELIGIOUS WORK

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.

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) Five "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 five Fellowships are not limited to Baptist students.

f) Fellowships of various amounts are also assigned students who are registered in the department of Semitic Languages and Literature, and Biblical and Patristic Greek, in the Graduate School of Arts and Literature.

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 class 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) Quarterly report.-The Fellow makes to the President, at the beginning of each quarter, a written report, indorsed by the Head or Acting Head of his Department, indicating the courses chosen by him as a student and the work assigned to him as an officer of the University for the current quarter and for the previous quarter.

5) Method of application.-Applications for a Fellowship should be addressed to the President of the University. Such application should be accompanied by: (a) A brief sketch of the life and work of the applicant; (b) a catalogue of the institution from which he has received his Bachelor's degree, with the courses in which he has studied marked; (c) a catalogue of the institution in which he has pursued his theological studies, with the courses in which he has studied marked; (d) any theses or papers of a scientific character which have been prepared by the applicant, whether printed or otherwise; (e) letters or testimonials from former instructors in regard to the applicant's ability in the particular line in which he applies for a Fellowship.

The annual assignment of Fellowships takes place during the first days of April, and applications must be in the hands of the President on or before March 1.

A blank form of application will be furnished by the Dean of the Divinity School.

2. Scholarships.

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