AND ATHLETICS

(See Department of Physical Culture and Athletics, p. 295)

THE ENGLISH THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

Besides the general regulations of the University and the regulations of the Divinity School, the following information and special regulations apply to the English Theological Seminary.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. The English Theological Seminary is open to pastors of churches, to approved students for the ministry, and to mature men and women who, with the commendation of their churches, propose to devote their lives to religious work.

2. In view of the short time of resident study, the Education Society does not undertake to render financial aid. Assistance will be given in securing such remunerative service as may be available, though the University authorities are strongly of the opinion that the student ought to devote his entire time and strength to the work of the Seminary.

3. The expenses for a summer's residence are an incidental fee of $2.50 a quarter, a library fee of $2.50 a quarter, and a matriculation fee of $5. The Divinity Halls (dormitories) accommodate 140 students. The rooms are furnished and are rented at from $8 to $12 a quarter. Students may secure board in the University Commons for $3.50 a week and upward, and in private families for $3 a week and upward.

4. The expense for the non-resident correspondence courses is $3 for each

course.

REGULATIONS

1. Purposes.-The English Theological Seminary is intended to meet the needs of students who have not secured the advantages of a collegiate education. Pastors who are neither college nor divinity-school graduates, approved candidates for the ministry whose scholastic training is deficient, and men and women who, with the commendation of their churches, propose to devote their lives to religious work are admitted to the English Theological Seminary.

2. Resident courses are offered in the Summer Quarter only.

3. Non-resident courses, continuing those of the Summer Quarter, are offered for the Autumn, Winter, and Spring Quarters. These are so arranged as to supplement the resident work, and in such a manner that the student is able to complete, during the thirty-six weeks of non-residence, an amount of work equivalent to that accomplished in the twelve weeks of residence. Examinations upon the non-resident work are offered at the University at the beginning of the Summer Quarter. (Special circulars explaining the correspondence-study work will be sent on application.)

4. The curriculum of the Seminary thus includes four years of continuous work, namely, four Summer Quarters in residence and twelve quarters in absence. 5. Of the twenty-four majors thus required, six may be taken in subjects preparatory to the theological curriculum, namely, Rhetoric, Logic, Psychology, History, Evidences of Christianity, and Ethics.

6. A student may prolong his course either by residing at the University one term during any particular Summer Quarter, instead of the whole quarter, or by taking a smaller number of subjects while absent from the University.

7. A certificate of graduation in English will be granted to each student who (1) completes twenty-four majors according to the conditions named above, not more than one-half of them being taken in absence; (2) presents a satisfactory thesis upon a subject approved by the professor to whose department it pertains; the subject must be selected and approved at least six months before the date of the final examination; and the thesis itself must be submitted and approved
