DEPARTMENT OF THEOLOGY.
THE DEPARTMENT OF THEOLOGY is designed, primarily, to prepare young men for the Christian ministry. Any others who desire the advantages of theological study are received to its classes on such terms as the Faculty may prescribe.
Applicants for admission to the Regular Course are expected to furnish satisfactory evidence of moral character, and of such scholarship as will enable them successfully to pursue this course. Students from other Theological Seminaries are admitted, ad eundem, on presenting a regular dismission; and persons may be admitted to advanced standing in any of the classes on satis- factory examination in the studics already pursued by these classes.
The Terms and Vacations are the same in all Departments of the College, and will be found iz the Calendar.
Council Hall, the building devoted to the exclusive uses of this Depart- ment, provides completely furnished rooms for about fifty students, with no charge for room rent, and but a small incidental fec. In assigning these rooms the preference will always be given to those who have the work of the ministry in view. Students in Theology incur no expense for tuition, for à the use of the Library or of public rooms. Other expenses will vary according to the personal habits and tastes of each student.
Aid is afforded by the American and the Ohio Education Societies to such students as are preparing for the ministry. The Seminary has also a special fund for the aid of students, from which several may receive a partial support.
The Classical and English Schools furnish employment for experienced teachers, at reasonable compensation. After the completion of the first term of the middle year students are permitted to supply vacant pulpits in the vicinity, as the opportunity may offer. During the Winter Vacation all the students may engage in preaching or other religious work, as Churches or Home Missionary Societies may call for their services. With reasonable prudence and economy any student may pursue his course without inter- ruption or embarrassment.
Candidates for admission to the Junior Class must present evidence of graduation from some College, or of such scholarship as will enable them
48
OBERLIN COLLEGE.
to enter upon the course with profit. Those who do not bring a Diploma will be specially examined in Greek, English and Rhetoric, Modern History, Mental and Moral Philosophy.
JUNIOR YEAR.
Hebrew-Elements and Exegesis; Greek-Harmony of the Gospels; Natural Theology: History ; Homileties; Elocution; especial prominence being given to the Departments of Greek and Hebrew Exegesis.
MIDDLE YEAR.
Revealed Theology; Homileties; History; Exegesis of Selections from the New Testament, with Lectures in Biblical Theology; Exegesis of Selec- tions from the Old Testament, with Lectures on the Messianic Prophecies and Biblical Introduction: Elocution; especial prominence being given to the Department of Systematic Theology.
SENIOR YEAR.
History and Positive Institutions; Homileties and Pastoral Theology; Exegesis of Selections from the New Testament, with Lectures: Exegesis of Selections from the Old Testament, with Lectures; Elocution ; especial promi- nenee being given to the Departments of Homiletics and History.
LECTURES.
Special Courses of Lectures are provided for upon Modern Skepticism, Church Polity, Prophecy and other subjects.
RHETORICAL EXERCISES, consisting of the reading of original essays, the delivery of original addresses, written and unwritten, and the extemporaneous discussion of questions occur weekly, in which the members of all the classes participate in succession. Special prominence is given to extemporaneous speaking, or the delivery of thoughts prepared but not written and committed to memory.
Some are plainly called to the work of the ministry who have not had tlie advantage of a classical education, and for special reasons are not able to acquire it. These will be admitted to the Department and permitted to take the Regular Course, with the exception of the Hebrew and Greek Exe- gesis, provided they are found, on examination, to be capable of doing so with profit. The same general preparation is expected of this class of students as is required of those who enter the Regular Course, Greek excepted.
Instruction in Biblical Exegesis as a substitute for the Hebrew and Greek of the Regular Course will be provided.
Upon the completion of the course thus modified, students will receive the usual Diploma of the Department, without a Degree.

The Degree of MASTER OF ARTS is conferred upon any BACHELOR of three or more years' standing, who has been engaged in literary or scientific pursuits, and has sustained a good moral character.
A Diploma, certifying the successful completion of the prescribed Course of Study, is given to each graduate of the Literary Course in the Department of Philosophy and the Arts, and to each graduate of the Conservatory of Music.
EXAMINATIONS.
At the close of each term the classes are examined in the studies of that term: and at the end of the year there are general examinations in all Depart- ments.
Every recitation and examination is marked, and a record is kept by the Faculty of the attainments of each student, and also of his delinquencies. Information concerning his progress and deportment is, when requested, com- municated to the parent or guardian.
RELIGIOUS EXERCISES.
All students are required to attend Church twice on the Sabbath, and the weekly lecture on Thursday.
They are also required to attend daily prayers in the evening at the Chapel, and in the morning in the families in which they board. Every class has a weekly exercise in the English Bible, which all are required to attend.

The col- lections amply illustrate the branches of Mineralogy, Lithological Geology, Palaeontology, Archaeology. Radiate Life, American and Foreign Shells and Insects, and many branches of Vertebrate Life. Additions are constantly made to these collections.
FACILITIES FOR SELF-SUPPORT.
The College does not furnish manual labor to the students. Diligent and faithful young men can find employment, with satisfactory compensation, in the village. A few are employed in the care of the College buildings. About forty students in the higher classes, gentlemen and ladies, are employed as assistant teachers.
The long Winter vacation affords opportunity to those who are qualified, to engage in teaching schools abroad.
REGULATIONS.
The Regulations of the Institution are few and simple, appealing to the student's self-respect and personal responsibility. He is required to abstain from the use of Tobacco and Intoxicating Drinks, and from connection with any Secret Society. No student is permitted to visit one of the other sex at a private room, except by special permission in case of severe sickness.
WINTER SCHOOL.
During the Winter vacation a school is taught in the College buildings, under the superintendence of members of the Faculty, in which classes are formed in all the studies of the Preparatory Department, and in any College study, when a sufficient number wish to pursue it to form a class. This school opens the first Tuesday following Thanksgiving day.
LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
Ladies in all the Departments of Study are under the supervision of the Principal of the Ladies' Department and the management of the Ladies' Board.
Ladies from abroad desiring admission to the Ladies' Hall, should make previous application in writing, certifying their age, state of health, character previous attainments, and the time they propose to continue here. Those who are admitted will be duly apprized of their admission. All ladies are expected to consult the Principal before selecting their boarding places.
Ladies are required to be in their rooms after eight o'clock in the evening during the Summer months, and after half past seven during the Winter months.
Every lady is required to present, once in two weeks, a written report of her observance, and her failures in the observance of the regulations of the Department, signed by the matron of the family in which she boards.
These reports together with the marks of her recitations, are recorded by
5
58
OBERLIN COLLEGE.
the Principal, and are open at all times for the inspection of the Faculty, the Ladies' Board. and all friends interested.
ADMISSION AND EXPENSES.
Candidates for admission to any of the Departments must bring testimonials of good eharacter; and those coming from other institutions must bring a certifi- cate of honorable dismission.
The student, in every department, pursues his studies in his private room, and meets with his class in the public room for recitation. No arrangement is made for those who have not sufficient maturity and self-control to study profitably under these conditions.
None are admitted to full membership until they have honorably passed a probation of six months. None will be received under sixteen years of age, unless committed to the care of some approved resident of the place ; nor any under fourteen, except by special arrangement with the Faculty.
Room rent in the Ladies' Hall is $10.50 a term for each occupant, including lights, the privileges of the house and care in ordinary sickness. Each room is intended for two ladies, and is provided with carpets and other necessary furniture, including husk bed. All other articles of bedding will be furnished by the occupants ; also, lamps and table napkins. No room will be considered engaged for any term unless two dollars is paid on the rent, which sum will be forfeited if the room is not taken, unless written notice to that effect is given to the Treasurer, at least one week before the opening of the term. Fuel is furnished as required, the charge being according to the amount consumed.
