Faculties of Arts, Literature, and Science, at least nine months before his final examinations, and by that Faculty accepted as a candidate for the degree of Ph.D., he must continue in residence till the total period has amounted to not less than twelve quarters, and until he has accomplished work equivalent to at least thirty-six majors. The amount of work required in his principal and secondary departments will be determined by such departments, subject to the general requirements of the Ph.D. degree as fixed by the Graduate Faculties of Arts, Literature, and Science. Graduates of other theological schools receive credit for work done in those schools, to the extent of eighteen majors, but must in all cases know the ground of the eighteen prescribed majors before being recommended to candidacy. Of the four years thus required as a minimum for the degree of Ph.D., not less than three must have been spent in residence at a theological school of recognized high standing, and the last two at the University of Chicago. REMARKS. (1) The candidate for the degree of Ph.D. is permitted to take the degree of A.M. or D.B. when he shall have met the requirements of such degrees. (2) The student who has taken the degree of A.M. or D.B., and who is thereupon accepted as a candidate for the degree of Ph.D., may, with the consent of the departments, offer toward the latter degree the work he has already done in the departments which he chooses for his principal and secondary subjects. 5) Thesis and final examination.-Each student is required to prepare a thesis upon some question connected with his principal subject and to pass a final examination. For further regulations respecting these see p. 114. REMARK.-The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is given, not on the basis of the completion of a certain amount of time spent upon a specified program, but as the recognition and mark of high attainments and ability in the candidate's chosen province, shown first by the production of a thesis evincing the power of independent investigation and forming an actual contribution to existing knowledge; and secondly, by the passing of examinations covering the general field of the candidate's subjects, with more minuteness in the case of the principal subject, with less minuteness in the case of the secondary subject or subjects.

Its object is to determine from the interpretation of the existing books of the Bible what were the ethical and religious beliefs of the several prophets, teachers, and writers, or of the several groups of related writers who represent distinct types of teaching, to state the beliefs of each such person or group in the relation to one another which they sustained in the mind of those who held them, and to trace the history of these ideas. It presupposes interpretation and accepts its results so far as they are well attested. Recognizing the possibility of difference of point of view on the part of different biblical writers, it has for its whole task the discovery and construction of the history of theological thought as recorded in the Bible.

THE DEPARTMENT OF SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY OFFICERS OF INSTRUCTION SHAILER MATHEWS, A.M., D.D., Professor of Historical and Comparative Theology. GERALD BIRNEY SMITH, A.M., D.D., Professor of Christian Theology. FELLOWS, 1914-15 ALLAN WORTHINGTON COOKE FRANK NEIL STAPLEFORD INTRODUCTORY The aim of the Department of Systematic Theology is to set forth and to vindicate both the content of the knowledge which accrues to Christian faith and those moral relations which are a necessary expression of that faith. This task is prosecuted on the basis of the historical sources of the Christian religion and with due consideration of the historic expressions of Christian belief. It will thus appear that the historical sciences of biblical theology and of biblical ethics as well as of the history of dogma are the indispensable presuppositions of the normative sciences of Christian dogmatics and of Christian ethics. The instruction in the Department has both a scientific and a religious end; the former to promote the understanding of theological problems, the latter to train ministers for efficient service in the church. The Theological Club holds meetings for the presentation and discussion of papers every third Monday. REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES OF D.B. AND PH.D. 1. As prerequisite to acceptance as a candidate for a degree, eighteen majors of theological study must have been completed, three of which shall have been in the Department of Systematic Theology. 2. The three prescribed courses in Systematic Theology are to be chosen from 1 (Systematic Theology I), 2 (Systematic Theology II), 3 (Systematic Theology III). These courses are so arranged as to give the student a consecutive training in Christian doctrine. The sequence courses are 4, 9, 13, 14, 15, 38, 51, 52. 3. In addition to the general regulations the candidate for the degree of Ph.D. must meet the following prerequisites: (a) A general knowledge of the History of Philosophy; (b) course 15 in the Department of Comparative Religion, or its equivalent. The degree will be granted only to those who in addition have taken such courses as may be prescribed by the Department of Systematic Theology. The precise number of majors cannot be stated in advance, but it must be at least twelve, including the three prescribed majors. The degree is granted to those who give evidence of high scholarly attainments and ability to conduct independent theological research. 4.
