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 theologi- cal study are received to its classes on such terms as the Faculty may prescribe. The school is under the special patronage of the Congregational Churches, but is open to students of all denominations.
Applicants for admission are expected to furnish satisfactory evidence of Christian character, and of such scholarship as will enable them successfully to pursue the studies of the course. Students from other Theological Seminaries are admitted ad eundem, on presenting a regular dismission; and any applicant may be admitted to advanced standing on satisfactory examination in the studies already pursued by the class which he desires to join.
The terms and vacations will be found in the Calendar.
Council Hall, the building devoted to the use of this Department, provides completely furnished rooms for fitty 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 or for the use of the Library. An inci- dental fee of $5.00 a term is charged to each student occupying a room in Coun- cil Hall, and one of $1.50 to members of the Department rooming else- where. Other expenses will vary according to the personal habits and tastes of each student.
Aid is afforded by the American Education Society to students (unmarried) 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 a few experienced teachers, at a reasonable compensation. After the completion of the first term of the mid- dle year, students are permitted to supply vacant pulpits in the vicinity as opportunity may offer. During the summer vacation all the students may en- gage in preaching or other religious work, as Churches or Home Missionary Societies call for their services. With reasonable prudence and economy students have been able to pursue their course without interruption or embarrassment.
56
OBERLIN COLLEGE.
Candidates for admission to the Junior Class must present evidence of graduation from some College, or of such scholarship as will enable them to enter upon the course with profit. Those who do not bring a diploma will be examined in Greek, Logic and Rhetoric, Modern History, Mental and Moral Philosophy.
COURSE OF STUDY.
This occupies three years, and is thus arranged :
JUNIOR YEAR.
PROFESSOR BALLANTINE gives instruction in Hebrew and Old Testament Exegesis throughout the year.
PROFESSOR WRIGHT lectures on the Harmony of the Gospels and on the Theology of the New Testament.
PRESIDENT FAIRCHILD lectures during the latter half of the year on Natural Theology, Evidences of Christianity, and the Authority and Inspiration of the Scriptures.
PROFESSOR SMITH gives an introductory course of lectures on the History of the Church.
MIDDLE YEAR.

Rhetorical exercises, consisting of the reading of 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. Special prominence is given to extemporaneous speaking, or the delivery of thoughts prepared but not written, and committed to memory. Once each month there is a public exercise, at which papers upon important theological questions are read by members of the Middle and Senior classes, followed by remarks from different members of the Faculty. Special attention can be
