DEPARTMENT OF THEOLOGY.
THE DEPARTMENT OF THEOLOGY is designed, primarily, to prepare young men for the Christian ministry. Any others who desire the advant- ages 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 satisfactory examination in the studies already pursued by those classes.
The Terms and Vacations are the same in all Departments of the College, and will be found in the Calendar.
Council Hall, the building devoted to the exclusive uses of this De- partment, provides completely furnished rooms for about fifty students, with no charge for room rent, and but a small incidental fee. 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 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 call for their services. With reasonable prudence and economy any student may pursue his course without interruption 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
49
OBERLIN COLLEGE.
to enter upon the course with profit. Those who do not bring a Diploma will be 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; Homiletics; History; Exegesis of Selections from the New Testament, with Lectures in Biblical Theology; Exegesis of Se- lections from the Old Testament, with Lectures on the Messianic Prophe- cies 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 prominence being given to the Departments of Homiletics and History.
LECTURES.
Special Courses of Lectures are provided for upon Biblical Introduc- tion, Church Polity, and other subjects.
RHETORICAL EXERCISES, consisting of the reading of original essays, the delivery of original addresses, written and unwritten, and the extem- poraneous 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 the 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 Exegesis, 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.

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 Departments.
Every recitation and examination is marked, and a record is kept by the Faculty of the attainments of each student, and also of his delinquen- cies. Information concerning his progress and deportment is, when re- quested, communicated 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 at which they board. Every class has a weekly exercise in the English Bible, which all are required to attend.
There is a weekly prayer meeting on Monday evening for all young people, conducted by the students; and a weekly prayer meeting for each class, conducted by one of the teachers.
LIBRARY, APPARATUS AND CABINET.
The Libraries connected with the College number about fifteen thousand volumes.
The Apparatus, in the Departments of Natural Philosophy and Chen- istry, is sufficient for the varied illustrations of these sciences.
