J., 1885-1886 Every person applying for admission into the Seminary, must produce satisfactory written testimonials, that he possesses good natural talents, and is of a prudent and discreet deportment that he is in full communion with some regular church; and that he has passed through a regular course of collegiate study or, wanting this, he must submit himself to an examina tion in regard to the branches of literature usually taught in such a course. Those Who are not graduates of any College, must, prior to matricula tion, produce a certificate from their Presbytery, or the ecclesiastical body under Whose care they are as candidates for the gospel ministry, expressing its approval of their entrance upon theological study, without further literary preparation. When a student has been received under the care of a Presbytery, and has passed his examination on the studies usually pursued in College with approbation, a certificate from the Presbytery declaring this fact is received as sufficient to answer every requisition in regard to testimonials. When a student who has been connected with any Theological Seminary seeks admission into this, he must produce testimonials of his good stand ing, and regular dismission, before he can be received. A, knowledge of Hebrew is not essential to students entering the Junior Class, inasmuch as the rudiments of this language form part of the regular course of instruction given in the first year. But a previous acquaintance with at least the written character would be of great service to beginners. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
