Courses of Study.
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 fifty students, with no charge for room rent. Students in Theology incur no expense for tuition or for the use of the Library. An incidental fee of $5.00 a term is charged to each student occupying a room in Council Hall, and one of $1.50 to members of the Department rooming elsewhere. 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 College 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 rea- sonable compensation. After the completion of the first term of the middle year, students are permitted to supply vacant pulpits in the vicinity as oppor- tunity may offer. During the summer vacation all the students may engage in preaching or other religious work, as Churches or Home Missionary Socie- ties call for their services. With reasonable prudence and economy students have been able to pursue their course without interruption or embarrass- ment.
60
OBERLIN COLLEGE.
A full collegiate education is regarded as constituting a normal preparation for the Theological course. Candidates for admission to the Junior Class, who are not College graduates, will be examined in Greek, Logic and Rhetoric, Modern History, Mental and Moral Philosophy.

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. Instruction in Elocution is given to the Junior Class throughout the year, and to members of the Middle
