THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF SACRED LITERATURE HISTORICAL STATEMENT In February, 1881, a correspondence school of Hebrew was organized by William R. Harper under the name of the Institute of Hebrew. Twenty students constituted the initial class. The Institute was encouraged and fostered in its work by about seventy teachers of Hebrew and the Old Testament connected with educational institutions throughout the country. The student body increased so rapidly that in its first year forty-four states and eight foreign countries were represented. It became increasingly evident that the opportunities of the school must be extended to students of the English Bible. In 1889 a reorganization was effected, and an institution having a much broader purpose was established under the name of The American Institute of Sacred Literature. The first prospectus of the new organization states its purpose as follows: "To promote the philological, literary, historical, and exegetical study of the Scriptures by means of such instrumentalities as may be found practicable." This ideal has not been changed, although changing circumstances and demands have involved modifications in methods and work. In 1891 the headquarters of the Institute were removed to Chicago. The Council of Seventy was organized in 1895 and this body assumed the direction of the Institute. The organization was not endowed, and after ten years the Council of Seventy unanimously consented to accept the opportunity given them by the trustees of the University of Chicago to incorporate the Institute in the University Extension Division of the University and to continue its work under the advantages offered by association with a well-established educational institution. This transfer was formally consummated July 1, 1905. PURPOSE AND ORGANIZATION It is the province of the Institute as a whole to conduct all non-residence work of whatever character in subjects pertaining to Sacred Literature. It is the purpose of the University to provide through the Institute for churches, schools, pastors, teachers, and the general Christian public, facilities for nonresident study in the Bible and kindred subjects in such a variety of forms, grades, and topics, that satisfactory aid may be given to any person or group of persons seeking assistance, advice, or training, in topics associated with religious education. The officers of administration are the President of the University, the Secretaries of the University Extension Division, and the Executive Committee of the Sacred Literature Section. THE WORK OF THE INSTITUTE Correspondence courses offered in the Institute of Sacred Literature are described under their respective departments in the preceding pages. 474 AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF SACRED LITERATURE In the Reading and Library Department of the Institute are included all courses of prescribed reading, professional or non-professional, elementary study courses without correspondence instruction for individuals or groups, rapid survey courses for the training of Sunday-school teachers, and the circulation of traveling libraries. For work done in the Reading and Library Department certificates are issued to students on the accomplishment of each course. Such certificates do not entitle the student to credit toward a degree.
