THE LIBRARY.

The School has a theological library consisting of about 33,900 volumes and 9000 pamphlets. It is classified in about seventy departments, with many sub-divisions. The classification is carried very much farther in a carefully prepared subject card catalogue, not yet complete, in which a book appears under every general subject of which it treats. In this way it is intended to have an index to everything of importance in any volume in the Library. There is also a card catalogue of authors.

The main part of the Library is stored in a fire-proof stack-room, and books can be borrowed from it during the day. About 2200 volumes are kept in the reading-room, where students have access to them during the day and evening. About 400 volumes of these are reference books; the others are volumes selected by the professors as those most referred to by them, or those which for other reasons they desire to have readily accessible to the students for consultation.

The students of the Divinity School have the right to use the College Library in Gore Hall, which contains about 437,000 volumes and is rich in theological literature. The author catalogue of the Divinity School Library includes all recent theological works acquired by the College Library.

DEGREES.

Degree of Bachelor of Divinity.

Students properly qualified, who have been registered in the School for not less than one year, and have passed satisfactorily examinations on the work of fourteen approved courses, may receive the degree of BACHELOR OF DIVINITY. Not more than six courses may be offered for the degree in any one year. A student must have completed the work of at least three and a half courses in order to be promoted to the Middle class, and of at least eight courses to be promoted to the Senior class.

In the selection of his studies the student may choose two courses included in the announcement of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and not included in that of the Divinity School. Such courses must in each case be approved for the purpose by the Faculty of the Divinity School.

Students who are Bachelors of Arts of Harvard College, and have counted Divinity School courses for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, may, upon the special approval of the Faculty, be allowed to count for the degree of Bachelor of Divinity an equal number of College courses not previously counted for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

Degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy.

Students who are qualified under the conditions required by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences may receive the degree of MASTER OF ARTS, after pursuing for one year at the School a course of theological study accepted by the Administrative Board of the Graduate School of the University as suitable and sufficient for the purpose, and passing with high credit an examination on the same. Work counted for this degree cannot be counted for the degree of Bachelor of Divinity.

Students in the Divinity School who are qualified under the conditions required by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences may receive the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY after pursuing studies belonging to some one of the following fields: Semitic studies, Biblical and Patristic Greek, Church History, Theology, Sociology.

The examinations for the degree of Ph.D. are conducted by the appropriate Divisions of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, according to the special regulations of each Division. The Divisions having the abovementioned subjects in charge are the following: Semitic Languages and History, Ancient Languages, History and Political Science, Philosophy. Recommendations for the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy must proceed from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and must be conformed to the requirements maintained by that Faculty (see pp. 499-503). For the degree of Ph.D., at least two years of specially approved and directed advanced study, one of which must be spent at Harvard University, are required of students already qualified for candidacy for this degree.

Any student who desires to become a candidate for the degree of Master of Arts or Doctor of Philosophy should communicate as early as possible with the Dean of the Graduate School.

Certificates.

Students who are not candidates for a degree, and who have passed a satisfactory examination in one or more subjects, are entitled to a certificate, stating the length of time they have been members of the School, and specifying the subjects in which they have been examined.

PRIZES.

The BILLINGS PRIZE. Through Trustees of the Estate of Robert C. Billings there has been established an annual Prize of one hundred dollars for excellence in pulpit delivery, special attention being given to improvement during the year. This prize is assigned by vote of the Faculty in May, and may be divided into two prizes.

Students in the Divinity School may compete for the Dante, Toppan, and Sumner Prizes of the University (see pp. 508-512).
