Purpose. The purpose of the Trustees and Faculty of
Lincoln University is to communicate, according to its means,
a liberal and Christian education to worthy young men who
may become leaders of the colored people.
Location. Lincoln University is situated in Chester
County, Pennsylvania, forty-six miles southwest of Philadel¬
phia, and sixty-three miles northeast of Baltimore, at " Lin¬
coln University," a station on the Octoraro Branch of the Penn¬
sylvania Railroad. The exact post-office address is " Lincoln
University, Pennsylvania."
History. Lincoln University was founded by the Rev.
John Miller Dickey, a Presbyterian minister of Oxford, Pa.
Its first charter was granted by the State of Pennsylvania, un¬
der the title of Ashmun Institute, in 1854. In 1866 the char¬
ter was amended, and the name changed to " Lincoln Univer¬
sity," the plan being to develop an institution that would
impart training in the various professions—Theology, Medi¬
cine, Law—in addition to a preparatory department and a col¬
legiate course. The schools of Medicine and Law were be¬
gun, but soon discontinued, owing to unforeseen difficulties of
location and endowment. The preparatory department was
closed in 1893, leaving thus the College and Theological Semi¬
nary as departments of the University.
Control. The University is under the control of a
Board of Trustees, a self-perpetuating body, consisting of
twenty-one members, arranged in seven classes of three each,
who hold office for seven years, or until their successors are
elected. The officers of the Board consist of a President, a
12
catalogue of lincoln university
Vice-President, a Secretary and a Treasurer, elected annually.
There are three stated meetings of the Board—on the day of
the Theological Commencement, on the day of the College
Commencement, and on the third Tuesday of November.
In accordance with the plan of the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church for the government of Theological Semi¬
naries, the Board of Trustees has put the Theological Seminary
of the University under the control of the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America.
Endowment. The University owns equipment, build¬
ings and grounds of an estimated value of $350,000; holds
productive funds to the amount of $650,000. The annual ex¬
penditures for the session of 1917-1918 were approximately
$50,000.
Equipment. The University owns 145 acres of land,
part of which is under cultivation and part forms a campus
upon which have been erected the following buildings: Uni¬
versity Hall, built by undesignated funds, is a three-story
brick building, containing seventeen large and well-lighted
rooms, of which five are at present used as laboratories and
lecture rooms for Biology, Chemistry and Physics; The Mary
Dod Brown Memorial Chapel, the gift of the late Mrs.
Susan D. Brown, of Princeton, N. J., is a Gothic structure of
dark red brick with a square bell-tower. The building con¬
tains an audience room capable of seating 400 persons, and a
Prayer Hall capable of seating 200. The organ, costing
$2,000, was put in place in 1911; one-half of the cost being
contributed by Mr. Andrew Carnegie, and the rest by special
subscription. Livingstone Hall, the gift of the late Mrs.
Susan Gorgas, of West Chester, Pa., is a large one-story
frame building used for commencement assemblies, and capa¬
ble of seating one thousand persons. There are four dormi¬
tories, Ashmun Hall and Lincoln Hall, built by undesig¬
nated funds, and Cresson Hall, the gift of the Freedman's
Bureau, under the late General O. O. Howard, are four-story

structures of brick with slate roof, and are for college students.
Houston Hall, the gift of the late H. H. Houston, of Phila¬
delphia, Pa., a three-story brick building, is for theological
students. All the dormitories are lighted by electricity and
heated by steam. Each room is ready furnished for the occu¬
pant. The Harriet Watson Jones Hospital, the gift of the
late J. M. C. Dickey, of Oxford, Pa., is a two-story frame
cottage for the use of students in case of illness or accident.
The McCauley Refectory, given by the late Dr. Thomas
McCauley and Mrs. Mary D. McCauley, is a three-story brick
building used as the university dining hall. It contains kitch¬
ens, dining-room, rooms for visitors and a residence for the
steward. The Vail Memorial Library, the gift of William
H. Vail, M.D., of Newark, N. J., comprises a stack-room,
consulting-room and reading-room, with a large basement
used as a receiving-room, all of fireproof construction. In
addition, there is a two-story building of buff brick, the first
story of which is used as a lavatory, and the second as a gym¬
nasium. The Central Heating and Lighting Plant contains
three boilers of 100 horsepower each; two dynamos, of 75
Kilowatt and 35 Kilowatt capacity, respectively, and a steam
pump. There are twelve dwelling-houses on the campus, used
as residences for professors and other officers of the University.
The equipment for science consists of one room, with
much valuable physical apparatus, used as a lecture and demon¬
stration room in Physics; one room equipped as a laboratory
of Physics; one Chemical lecture room; one Chemical Labora¬
tory, with eighteen tables and all the apparatus for a thorough
course; one room with charts, models and minerals used as a
lecture and demonstration room in Biology and Geology;
one room equipped as a laboratory of Biology. The practical

Library is 15,422. During the year 1918 there were added by
gift and purchase, 399. The reading room is well supplied
with the latest works of reference, current periodicals and
daily papers.
Needs. To provide facilities for a much larger number
of students the Trustees and Faculty, inheriting something of
the late Dr. Isaac N. Rendall's faith and vision, have started an
Extension Campaign for $500,000 for the enlargement of its
work, to be apportioned when raised as follows:
For New Buildings (Dormitory, Science Hall, Y. M.
C. A. Building and Gymnasium) $150,000
For Scholarships and Maintenance 150,000
For Full Endowment of Present Professors' Salaries . 100,000
For New Professorships 100,000
Total $500,000
The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A.,
unanimously endorsed this movement; and to carry it to suc¬
cess will require not only larger gifts, but a multitude of
smaller gifts.
Checks should be made payable to John B. Rendall, Presi¬
dent, and sent to Professor William Hallock Johnson, Secretary
of the Campaign Committee, Lincoln University, Pa.
The Rev. W. P. White, D.D., 332 Witherspoon Building,
Philadelphia, and the Rev. Edwin J. Reinke, Lincoln Univer¬
sity, Pa., may also be addressed by those who wish the cause
represented in churches and elsewhere, or who may desire
special information.
In the preparation of wills, when it is intended to make
bequests to Lincoln University, care should be taken to use
the exact corporate name as known and recognized in the

courts of law, namely, " Lincoln University," and to add its
location—in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
Remembrance of the University in the form of annuities
is most gratefully received, the donors to receive an income
during their life and the gift to accrue then to the benefit of
the University.

A Testimony and an Appeal. In an address before
the Synod of Pennsylvania in the Pine Street Presbyterian
Church, Harrisburg, Pa., December n, 1918, the Rev. J. Frank
Smith, M.A., D.D., pastor of the City Temple, Dallas, Texas,
and during the year 1918 Moderator of the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A., said in part:
" I honor the Negro. I ask for him justice and a square
deal. I see in him measureless possibilities. He has treas¬
ure in the wealth he has accumulated in only two generations
of freedom, in his unfailing good humor which marks him at
home or abroad, his deeps of pathos and eloquence which re¬
veal themselves in such leaders as Paul Lawrence Dunbar and
Booker T. Washington, and in his value as a builder of his own
and our material civilization in a time of peace and its de-

fender in a time of war. He inherits the same rights to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness possessed by any other
body of our citizenship. He should have opened to him all
the doors of learning. Our public and private wealth can be
put to no better uses than the training of the mind and heart
of this great group of genuine Americans. The generosity
and genius of our Church can invest themselves in no better
way than in the education of our Negro leadership. Let the
first lavish its treasures in buildings and endowments and
scholarships, and the last establish a system of Christian train¬
ing from the primary school up to the University. This is im¬
perative—a task befitting our mightiest."

the Presbytery of Chester as a church home for students dur¬
ing their college life. While it is organized as a Presbyterian
church, members of all evangelical denominations are received,
and letters of dismission to churches of other denominations
are given when they leave the University.
Student Societies. The following societies are open to
students of the University irrespective of department:
The Young Men's Christian Association.—This society has
been in existence for many years. It is in organic connection
with the Pennsylvania State Association, and co-operates with
the Association in the Southern States. Community and Social
Service work is carried on during the school term; also a well
organized Sunday School and Bible study groups are con¬
ducted under its supervision. The Association seeks to enlist
all students of the University in personal effort for social uplift
during the summer vacation. During the present year the As¬
sociation has been supported by the War Work Council of the
Y. M. C. A., New York, N. Y., and Mr. Charles A. Hill, of the
Senior Class in the Seminary, has been Secretary.
The Christian Endeavor Society, connected with the Ash¬
mun Church, holds weekly meetings and co-operates with the
other agencies in throwing around the students the safeguards
of religion.
The Athletic Association is intended to promote the physical
welfare of the students and to supervise all athletic sports and
games. The conduct of the Association is by means of a
20
CATALOGUE OF LINCOLN UNIVERSITY
Board of Officers working in connection with the Faculty Com¬
mittee on Athletics. Membership is voluntary. The campus,
with its football field, baseball diamond and tennis courts, pro¬
vides ample opportunity for healthful exercise.
The British Association is composed of students from the
British possessions in South America and South Africa.
. The Student Council is an organization elected by the stu¬
dent body to develop and maintain a true standard of conduct
among the students of the University, and to promote their wel¬
fare in every respect.
The L. U. Chapter of the National Association for the Ad¬
vancement of Colored People is intended to carry out in the
University the general purposes of the N. A. A. C. It studies
the various phases of the race question and seeks to do some
constructive work. Membership is open to students and fac¬
ulty.
The Isaac N. Rendall Society, founded February 24, 1919,
aims to perpetuate the educational ideals of the late President
Isaac N. Rendall, by uniting for the study and discussion of
current educational topics all students who intend to devote
their lives to the cause of Christian education.
The Students' Army Training Corps. Lincoln Uni¬
versity's connection with the Students' Army Training Corps
may be said to date from July 17, 1918, when a telegram was
received from the Adjutant General, Washington, D. C., to the
effect that in order to carry out the plans for comprehensive
military instruction in the institutions of collegiate grade, be¬
ginning with the fall term, provision had been made for 47
days' Training Camps, August 1 to September 16, 1918, in
which selected students and faculty members from colored in¬
stitutions would be trained as assistant instructors to help offi¬
cers to be assigned to institutions. One student was to be al¬
lowed for every 25 in attendance during the academic year,
1917-1918, and one faculty member for each 100 students or
students' army training corps

less of the same year's male enrollment of students, 18 years or
older. In accord with this request, the following were the rep¬
resentatives of Lincoln University in attendance at the Wash¬
ington Training Camp, Howard University Grounds, Washing¬
ton, D. C., August i, 1918: From the class of 1919, William B.
Butler and Theodore M. Selden; from the class of 1920, Eu¬
gene E. Alston, Gustave H. Caution, Joseph W. Hill, John A.
C. Jackson, William McK. Peterz; from the faculty, Professor
Harold F. Grim.
Under date of August 31, 1918, a telegram of notification
was received from the Adjutant General to the effect that Lin¬
coln University had been approved, and that steps would be
taken at once to establish a unit of the Students' Army Train¬
ing Corps, Collegiate Section.
On October 1, 1918, at noon, the hour appointed by the War
Department, the flag was raised while the University Band
played " The Star-Spangled Banner." First Lieutenant John
Hickman Simms, Jr., who, with Second Lieutenant Ernest
Smith, had been assigned to command the unit, then read Presi¬
dent Wilson's proclamation as to the purpose of the new or¬
ganization, and about 100 young men drawn up in line took the
oath of allegiance, thereby signifying their desire to be en¬
rolled in the unit. The whole company then proceeded to the
Mary Dodd Brown Memorial Chapel, where addresses were
made by President J. B. Rendall, County Judge J. Frank E.
Hause, State Senator T. Lawrence Eyre, and Congressman
Thomas S. Butler.
The next morning the work of the unit was practically be¬
gun. The course of study required each student to take 11
hours per week of practical and theoretical military instruction
and physical training, and 12 hours from a list of assigned sub¬
jects, as follows: War Aims, English, French, German,
Mathematics, Physics, Psychology, Physics, Chemistry,
Biology, Topography and Map-making, Astronomy, Sanita¬
tion and Hygiene, Business Management and Economics.
Many of the courses usually given in the College were dis-
22

placed by these new subjects, and the professors thus set free
devoted themselves to the emergency work. Not all the
courses mentioned were given owing to various difficulties, the
chief of which were lack of insufficient time and lack of tech¬
nically trained instructors, but the following tabular statement
will show the work as it was on November 6, 1918:

During October, because of the epidemic of influenza, the
class-room instruction was suspended by order of the medical
authorities for varying periods, amounting in all to about three
weeks. Possibly owing to this abandonment of indoor gather¬
ings, added to the lack of crowding and the healthful location

of the University, only 12 light cases developed, not one result¬
ing in pneumonia.
On November 26, 1918, the order was received to demobilize.
The work of the unit came to an end on December 13, 1918,
when the last two men were mustered out.
Of the 54 units of the S. A. T. C. in the district comprising
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and the District of Colum¬
bia, six were rated in Grade A by the military authorities.
Lincoln University was one of the six.

The Alumni. The Alumni Association of Lincoln Uni¬
versity meets annually in connection with the Commencement
in June. The officers are: President, Dr. George E. Cannon,
354 Pacific Avenue, Jersey City, N. J.; Secretary, Rev. John T.
Colbert, 623 West Lanvale Street, Baltimore, Md.; Treas¬
urer, Rev. John W. Lee, D.D., 741 South Seventeenth Street,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Up to and including the year 1907-08 it was customary to
print a list of the graduates of the College and of the Theo¬
logical Seminary in the annual issues of the University Cata¬
logue. In 1912 there was issued a Statistical Catalogue of the
Students of the Collegiate and Theological Departments of
Lincoln University. On April 12, 1918, there was issued " Lin¬
coln University, College and Theological Seminary, Biographi¬
cal Catalogue." This contains the essential biographical de¬
tails, with present occupation and address, so far as known, of
all graduates and former students of the University. With the

Alumni Gate. At the annual meeting, June 6, 1916,
the Alumni authorized the Trustees of Lincoln University to
erect a gateway at the south entrance of the grounds, at a cost
of not less than $500.
The Trustees have decided to erect a corresponding gate¬
way at the north entrance to the Campus. Owing to war con¬
ditions and the changes in grading incidental to the new con¬
crete road between Philadelphia and Baltimore, that passes
through the north end of the University grounds, and that was
only completed in December, 1918, it has not been possible yet
to start work on these gates.

Courses and Degrees. The College Faculty as at
present organized conducts courses in Arts and Science.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) or Bachelor of
Science (B.S.) is conferred on graduation upon students who,
in addition to meeting the requirements for entrance, have
completed sixty year-hours of work, a year-hour being the
completion of one hour a week of lecture or recitation for one
year or two hours of laboratory work a week for one year.
No diploma, however, will be given, nor will certification be
granted, until all financial obligations to the University have
been discharged.
The College is approved by the College and University
Council of the State of Pennsylvania.
Admission of Students. Candidates for admission
should be at least sixteen years of age, should have com¬
pleted the work preparatory to the class they wish to enter, and
should present satisfactory evidence of good moral character
and of mental and physical fitness for a college course.
Candidates are admitted by examination or by certificate.
Requirements for Admission. For unconditional
admission to the freshman class, subjects aggregating
fifteen units are required, a unit representing such an amount
of preparation in one subject as is ordinarily completed during
a school year with five recitation periods a week.

All candidates for the Freshman class are expected to adhere
closely to the entrance requirements as defined below. All who
apply for admission on examination will be asked questions
based on these requirements. No certificate of school work
will be acceptable unless it shows that the definition of each
subject has been kept in view throughout the preparatory
period. Therefore all schools preparing candidates for Lin¬
coln University are strongly urged to obtain a copy of this
syllabus and to follow its directions exactly.
English. [1915-1919.]
The study of English in school has two main objects: (1) com¬
mand of correct and clear English spoken and written; (2) ability
to read with accuracy, intelligence, and appreciation. The first object
requires instruction in grammar and composition. The second object
is sought by means of two lists of books, headed respectively reading
and study.
A. One unit. In grammar and composition the -requirement im¬
plies a knowledge of the relation of the various parts of a sentence
to one another, the construction of individual words in a sentence of
reasonable difficulty, and those good usages of modern English, which
one should know in distinction from current errors. In composition
the candidate should be able to write essays developing a theme through
several paragraphs.
The preparatory work in English A will require instruction in grammar and
composition. English grammar should be reviewed in the secondary school, and
correct spelling and grammatical accuracy should be rigorously exacted in connection
with all written work. The principles of English composition governing punctuation,
the use of words, sentences and paragraphs should be thoroughly mastered; and
practice in composition: letter writing, narrative, description, and easy exposition
and argument should extend throughout the secondary school period.
B. i. One unit. A knowledge and appreciation of literature
gained from the reading of at least ten literary masterpieces, two
selections from each of the following five groups:
Group I.—Classics in Translation.
The Old Testament, comprising at least the chief narrative epi¬
sodes in Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, and Daniel,
together with the books of Ruth and ^Esther.
The Odyssey, with the omission, if desired, of Books I, II, III,
IV, V, XV, XVI, XVII, XXI.
The Iliad, with the omission, if desired, of Books XI, XIII, XIV,
XV, XVII, XXI.
The Aeneid.
The Odyssey, Iliad and Aeneid should be read in English trans¬
lations of recognized literary excellence.
For any selection from this group a selection from any other
group may be substituted.

of scholarship aid will be granted, and in return for this as¬
sistance the student will be required to render service in work
about the grounds and buildings.
The remaining $78 must be paid in money. A reduction of
$7 will be made if the bill is paid before October 1, and of $3
if it is paid before February 1. That is in the case of those

ary 1. After that date the full $78 must be paid.
Students needing aid must obtain from the Dean a blank
upon which their application may be made. Scholarship aid is
granted for one academic year, with the possibility of renewal
in case of need.
Standing. Students delinquent in attendance, in scholar¬
ship, in character, and of bad influence are dropped from the
roll.
The rank of a student in his class depends on his grade in
his recitations and examinations; on his punctuality and con¬
stancy in attendance upon all exercises of instruction.
The maximum mark in each study is one hundred; the mini¬
mum, or passing mark, is sixty per cent. The rank in each
course or study is determined by the instructor, who divides
the class into groups.
Each class is divided into five groups:
The first group indicates very high standing and contains
ordinarily not more than 10 per cent, of the class.
The second group indicates high standing, and contains not
more than 20 per cent, of the class.
The third group indicates fair standing and contains not
more than 50 per cent, of the class.
The fourth group indicates low standing, and contains ordi¬
narily not more than 20 per cent, of the class.
The fifth group contains any members of the class who have
not reached the minimum mark, and who are, therefore, con¬
ditioned.
40
CATALOGUE OF LINCOLN UNIVERSITY
In an elective class the above fractional parts are fractional
parts of the entire class and not of the number of students tak¬
ing the elective.
The average of a student is determined by multiplying each
group number by the number of hours which the subject occu¬
pies in the weekly schedule and by dividing the sum of the
products by the sum of the multipliers. Failures are reckoned
as fifth groups. The limit for the first group is 1.30; for the
second group 2.20; for the third group 3.20; for the fourth
group 4.20.
At the end of the months of October, November, February
and March, each member of the Faculty is requested to report
in writing to the Registrar any students in his classes who are
not doing work of passing grade in order that the Registrar
may have data on which to base a report at the next ensuing
meeting of the Faculty.
Program of Studies. The period within which the re¬
quirements for the degree of A.B. or B.S. may be satisfied
varies with the ability and industry of the student.
For the degree of A.B. the requirements are as follows:
1. Each student must take: Latin, 6 term hours to be taken
continuously in addition to the Vergil and Cicero prescribed
for entrance or taken after entrance.
Greek, 10 term hours to be taken continuously in addition to
the year of elementary Greek prescribed for entrance or taken
after entrance.
English, 12 term hours or the course prescribed during
Freshman and Sophomore years.
Bible, 8 term hours or the course prescribed for the Fresh¬
man, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years.
Mathematics, 8 term hours or the course prescribed for
Freshman year.
Physics, 8 term hours or the course prescribed for Sopho¬
more year.
CATALOGUE OF LINCOLN UNIVERSITY 41
2. Additional term hours to make the total for the course
120 are elective, subject to the following limitations: Each stu¬
dent shall continue through three years one department begun
in Sophomore year, and through two years two departments
begun in Junior year.
3. After the Freshman year an average of 15 hours per term
is required, but no student is allowed to take less than 14 nor
more than 16 hours per term except by special permission of
the Faculty.
4. The requirements for the B.S. degree are the same as for
the A.B., except that in place of either the Latin or the Greek,
9 term hours in modern language may be substituted.
5. A course that runs continuously through the year must be
elected for the year.
6. Students who apply for advanced standing shall be consid¬
ered candidates for the degree for which their previous courses
of study qualify them.
7. Absence from an examination, except for reasons sus¬
tained by vote of the Faculty, will be regarded as a serious de¬
linquency. Any student taking an examination out of the reg¬
ular time, unless excused by the Faculty, will be assigned to the
group next lower to that to which he would be entitled.
8. Conditions must be removed within a year after being
incurred or no credit shall be allowed for the course. Not
more than two trials are allowed any student to remove a con¬
dition.
9. A student conditioned in three studies with three differ¬
ent instructors is dropped from the University.
10. Any student reported absent, whatever be the reason for

Instruction in this department extends through the whole collegiate
course. During the first term of Freshman year the work consists
largely of drill in grammatical details both by way of review and to
ensure a thorough grounding for the succeeding parts of the course.
For this purpose an author is usually employed whose style is already
familiar to most of the class.
Special effort is made in the later years of the course to rise
above details of construction to the criticism of the thought and style
of the authors read, and to secure to the student the advantages of
exactness and precision in his own thinking, and of readiness and
propriety in expression.
Lectures on Greek literature, history and archaeology, are given in
connection with the authors read. The stereopticon is used.
An honor course is usually offered to those members of the Senior
or Junior Classes who have shown marked proficiency in this depart¬
ment. A special library of selected books is provided for the use
of such students, to which they have constant access. Some one
Greek author is read, and in connection with this study, papers and
theses calculated to inspire original investigation are required from
the more advanced students. This course is intended to be especially
helpful to those who may subsequently become teachers of this or
allied branches.
* The terms are numbered first and second, as in ordinary years, but it should be
noted that for the present year, in which, as already explained in connection with the
calendar, the Collegiate Year is divided into three terms; first term means from Janu¬
ary 2 to April 11, 1919, and second term from April 22 to June 17, 1919.

39. Constitutional History of England. 2 hours.
40. Constitutional History of Western Europe. 3 hours, first
term.
41. Constitutional History of the United States. 3 hours, sec¬
ond term.
The three courses in history are of quite a different nature from those
presented in high and normal schools. They form one continuous
series, closely connected, the mastery of earlier courses leading to a
satisfactory comprehension of the last. The purpose of the series is to
trace to their origins the political institutions of the United States, and
observe their development to the present time and their application to
the industrial and racial problems calling for present adjustment.
The Constitutional History of England is studied in order to present
somewhat in detail the source and growth of the institutions under
which the framers of our Constitution obtained their training in state¬
craft. Special attention is given to the social, political, and religious
movements which have conditioned the life and governmental unfold¬
ing of the English Constitution. The text-book is supplemented by full
discussions of the important questions arising in the recitations. An
understanding of the principles taught in this lays the groundwork for
the best results in the two following courses.
The Constitutional History of Western Europe is studied that the
student may obtain a broad knowledge of the growth and outworking
of governmental forms and their value, especially as applicable to the
nations involved in the world war.
The Constitutional History of the United States completes the series
by tracing the origin and unfolding of the institutions of the United
States from the colonial beginnings to the present, haying special refer¬
ence to the great amendments consequent from the Civil War, and the
practical problems, social, racial, and industrial now requiring discus¬
sion.
54 CATALOGUE OF LINCOLN UNIVERSITY
42. Ethnology and Race Relationships. 3 hours. Professor
Labaree.
This course is one of Sociology and Economics applied to the special
race relationships in this country, and more particularly to those of the
Negro. A brief study of social evolution, by which races have been
differentiated and developed, will be followed by a survey of the prob¬
lems which race contacts have created in many other parts of the world.
The political, social, and moral environment of the Negro in Africa will
next be taken up; and the question of slavery and the introduction
of the Negro into America will be studied, leading up to his emancipa¬
tion. With this historical background the present-day tasks that con¬
front the Negro in his efforts toward race and individual development
will be studied, and in addition the other, race problems of America,
those arising from the presence of the American Indian, the Japanese
and Chinese, and the large immigration from the countries of Europe
and the Near East. The work will be conducted by lectures by the pro-
' fessor, and by discussions and papers on special topics assigned to the
students.
Courses omitted in 1918-19.
43. Sociology. 3 hours, first term.
The foundations of " Sociology" are studied by means of lectures
with recitations. _ The structure of society, the social forces, and their
modes of operation, are treated with special attention to the problems
of practical Sociology calling for present adjustment.
44. Economics. 3 hours, second term.
The principles of Economics are taught during one term to Seniors
and Juniors in three weekly recitations. A text-book is used for the
theoretic groundwork; and for the consideration of the practical eco¬
nomic problems of present importance there are held free discussions
and lectures.

certificates of work done and letters of honorable dismissal
from the institutions in which they have studied. No graduate
of any theological seminary, however, shall be eligible to
scholarship aid.
Courses and Degrees. The Degree of Bachelor of
Sacred Theology will be given to those who complete all the
prescribed studies of the Seminary, and in addition have pre¬
sented for admission the degree of Bachelor of Arts or its
equivalent.
A diploma will be given upon completion of all the pre¬
scribed studies of the Seminary to those who have been ad¬
mitted in accord with the regulations prescribed for candidates
over 26 years of age.
Any applicant, provided he meets the prescribed entrance re¬
quirements, may, subject to the approval of the Faculty, omit
any study of the prescribed course, continue as a special stu¬
dent, and receive a certificate for all courses actually completed.
Seminary Charges. The full Seminary charges for
each year are summed up in the nominal sum of $83.00. This
amount includes room and heat, board and washing, together
with medical and athletic fees, but not books.
catalogue of lincoln university 6l
All students are expected to meet this bill as far as possible,
but aid from the Seminary funds may be given to worthy stu¬
dents who are unable to meet fully the Seminary bill.
Seminary Year. The Seminary year is made up of
two terms, the first beginning with the opening of the Uni¬
versity, and closing with the Christmas holidays. Each stu¬
dent is expected to be present at the beginning of the session,
when the rooms not already assigned will be allotted.
Examinations will be held at the close of each term.
Any student taking an examination out of the regular time will
receive no group standing if he passes, but only credit for the
course. Record of each term's work is kept in the Dean's office,
and regular reports are furnished to each student and the
Presbyteries having students under their care. Upon request
from properly constituted authorities, such reports will be
given in case of students belonging to other ecclesiastical
bodies.
Prizes. The Robert Scott Prize in English Bible,
consisting of fifteen dollars, is given to that member of the
Senior Class who passes the best examination upon the course
in English Bible of the Senior year.
The Miss Lafie Reid Prize in Sacred Geography, con¬
sisting of a ten dollar gold piece, is given to that member of
the Junior Class who maintains the best standing in the course
in Sacred Geography and passes the best examination. A sec¬
ond prize of a five dollar gold piece is also given in the same
subject.
The R. H. Nassau Prize. Through the generosity of the
Rev. Robert Hamill Nassau, M.D., S.T.D., of the West Africa
Mission, a trust fund of $1,000 has been established. From the
proceeds of this fund fifty dollars is given to that member of
the Senior Class whom the Faculty shall select as most fully ex¬
emplifying the ideals of the Theological Department of Lin-
62 catalogue of lincoln university
coin University in scholarship and personality. The student
selected shall present an essay of not less than 500 words based
on some incident in the life or character of the donor, to be
publicly read in connection with the exercises of the graduate
week.
Rodman Wanamaker Prize in English Bible. Mr.
Rodman Wanamaker gives at each semi-annual examination,
three Bibles, one in each of the three classes, to those students
who, in the opinion of the Professor of English Bible, have done
the best work. No one shall be eligible to take the prize twice
in his University course.
Religious Services and Activities. The Seminary
students enjoy all the religious privileges of the University,
including the regular daily prayer service, the weekly chapel
services, and the Y. M. C. A. and Christian Endeavor Society.
Voluntary devotional Bible and mission study gives spiritual
impulse, and community service affords practical outlet to the
personal religious life of the students. The Seminary preach¬
ing service (see page 68) and the midweek service of prayer
afford real, yet carefully guided opportunities for applying
the principles and theories of the class-room and study.
Theological Lyceum. The "Theological Lyceum," of
which all theological students are members, meets every week.
The Course of Studies. The Theological Department
of Lincoln University is devoted to the practical purpose of
preparing men for the active service of the pulpit and the pas¬
torate. Its courses are, therefore, grouped about the great
essential departments of theological training, and the work
consists in general of required studies. As time and the
pressure of necessary work permit, additional work may be
offered each year by the Faculty. Fifteen hours a week con¬
stitute normally full work, but additional hours may be taken
by men who are qualified to do so. Many courses in the Col¬
lege are open to the Seminary students, and may be profitably
CATALOGUE OF LINCOLN UNIVERSITY
63
pursued by qualified men. Such optional work is controlled
by the Faculty.
Candidates for the diploma or for the degree of S.T.B., hav¬
ing met the requirements for entrance, must complete at least
45 year-hours of work, a year-hour being one hour a week of
lecture or recitation for one year. No student will be advanced
into the Middle Class who has not completed at least 13 year-
hours, and 28 year-hours are required for entrance into the
Senior Class. Work in elementary Greek cannot be counted in
credit for year-hours. Absence from class exercises tends to
reduce year-hour credits in the Seminary as in the College.

I. Biblical Philology.
Hebrew.
Professor Labaree.
1. Hebrew Grammar and Reading. 4 hours, first term; 4
hours, second term.
The Junior year is given to acquiring an exact knowledge of the
language, the blackboard being constantly used in teaching. The
grammatical principles and a good working vocabulary are gradually
acquired. They are practically applied from the beginning in convert¬
ing English into Hebrew. Davidson's "Introductory Hebrew Gram¬
mar " and " Hebrew Syntax" are the text-books used. During the
latter part of the Junior year selections from Genesis i-xxv are
translated.
2. Rapid Reading- in 1 Samuel. 1 hour.
New Testament Greek.
Professor W. H. Johnson.
3. Grammar of New Testament Greek.
4. Characteristics of New Testament Greek.
The course in " Grammar of New Testament Greek" is given as
the need arises to those students from other institutions who have
had no opportunity to do any work preliminary to New Testament
Exegesis. The "Characteristics of New Testament Greek" is given
in connection with the course in exegesis as an introduction. It
usually does not extend more than a month at the opening of the
session.
II. Apologetics.
Professor Kieffer.
5. Apologetics. Introductory Course. 2 hours.
6. Apologetics. Advanced Course. 1 hour.
The range of studies under this head will include, in general, the
grounds of Christian belief.
The aim is to present in connected form the evidences—drawn
* Except where otherwise indicated, the hours mentioned in connection with
each course are hours (of 60 minutes) per week extending through the year. During
the present year the first term extends from September 24 to December 20, 1918, and
the second term from January 2 to May 27, 1919.

from all sources—of revealed religion. Fisher's " Natural Theology "
and ' Christian Evidences."
In connection with the study of Biblical Archaeology, one session
will be devoted to the evidences of the truth of the sacred Scriptures
from the monumental records of the past.
III. Biblical Exegesis and Literature.
A. Biblical Exegesis.
Old Testament Introduction.
Professor Labaree.
7. Introduction to Pentateuch and Historical Books.
8. Introduction to Poetic Books, i hour, one term.
9. Introduction to Prophetic Books, i hour, one term.
10. Canon and Text of the Old Testament.
All introductory work is conducted upon the basis of a syllabus
placed in the hands of each student, requiring him constantly to refer
to his English Bible and to standard works in the University Library.
Instruction is given during the Middle and Senior years in the
canon, text, manuscripts and early versions of the Hebrew Scriptures.
Old Testament Exegesis.
Professor Labaree.
11. Exegesis of Selected Psalms and Other Poetic Books. 2
hours. 1919-20.
12. Exegesis of Selections from the Prophetic Books. 2 hours.
1918-19.
Chief emphasis is placed upon Exegesis, not only as a means of
discovering the exact meaning of the Old Testament Scriptures, but
also for the purpose of furnishing material for homiletic use. This
end is sought in pursuit of the courses outlined above which form a
program extending over the Middle and Senior years.
New Testament Introduction.
Professor W. H. Johnson.
13. Textual Criticism of the New Testament.
14. Canon of the New Testament. 1 hour.
15. Introduction to Pauline Epistles. 2 hours.
66 catalogue of lincoln university
New Testament Exegesis.
Professor W. H. Johnson.
16. The Life of Christ. Outlines. 2 hours, one term.
17. Critical Study of Galatians. 2 hours, one term.
18. Exegesis of Romans. 2 hours, one term.
19. Exegetical Studies in the Fourth Gospel. 2 hours, one
term.
20. Apostolic History. Studies in Acts. 2 hours, one term.
21. Exegesis of Hebrews. 2 hours, one term.
An attempt is made to cover the field of New Testament study
as thoroughly as can be done in the time allotted. Exegesis is given
the most prominent place, and special effort is made by the careful
reading of selected books to train the student in a sound exegetical
method, which shall be of practical value to him in the ministry. It
is believed that facility in reading the Greek Testament must, in most
cases, be gained, if at all, during the Seminary course, and much
attention is paid to sight reading and the rapid reading of extended
passages. In some of the courses the place of a final examination is
taken by original papers on appropriate topics, prepared by the stu¬
dents and read before the class.
English Bible.
Professor Kieffer.
22. The Pentateuch. 2 hours.
The design of the Board of Trustees in establishing this Chair is
to secure that no student shall be graduated from the Theological
Department of this Institution without acquiring a thorough knowl¬
edge of the Bible in the English language.
To this end the Board of Trustees has enjoined it upon the Fac¬
ulty of Theology to require the students, supplemented by the courses
under the direction of the incumbent of this chair, to read the whole
Bible, and to commit to memory such passages as may be assigned
to them.
Instruction is, therefore, given m the Historical Books of the Bible,
and in the Major and Minor Prophets of the Old Testament. In the
New Testament the Epistles are analyzed, and the contents mastered
by actual reading and study.
Biblical Theology.
Professor Labaree.
23. The Theology of the Old Testament Literature.
A careful discussion, during the course of the three years, of the
Pentateuchal problem, of Hebrew poetry and prophecy, and of the
catalogue of lincoln university 67
teaching of each of the books of the Old Testament, is intended to fur-
nisn the student with safe methods in developing for himself a Biblical
tneoiogy, and in meeting the critical and theological problems which
every thoughtful student of God's word must encounter.
B. Biblical Archaeology.
Professor Kieffer.
24. Biblical Archaeology. A. i hour.
25. Biblical Archaeology. B. i hour.
A definite and accurate knowledge of the social, religious, and politi¬
cal life of the nations of the East in the Bible times will be the object
of the study. Bissell's Biblical Antiquities.
Special attention will be given to the rapidly accumulating testimonies
of modern discovery and research ; and, whenever necessary, the sub¬
ject matter of the text-book will be supplemented by lectures and
stereopticon illustrations. Text-book: Price, The Monuments and the
Old Testament.
C. Biblical Geography and Contemporary History.
Professor Kieffer.
26. Sacred Geography. 2 hours.
The topography and general features of the lands of the Bible will be
carefully studied in the Junior year. The Land of Israel, by Dr.
Stewart, is used as a text-book.
IV. History of the Church.
Professor Carter.
27. Church History. A. To the Reformation. 2 hours.
28. Church History. B. Reformation to the Present. 2
hours.
For the study of Church History, the Senior and Middle classes
have been combined in a course covering two years of study from
the founding of the Church to the twentieth century.
The design of the course is to trace the growth of the Church in
missionary expansion, in doctrinal definition, in organization, in life
and worship, with just emphasis on the critical and epochal events,
that the student may be able to grasp the salient features of ecclesi¬
astical history, and estimate intelligently the values in the great
movements which urge the Church forward in its universal mission.
The first year's course treats of the history of the Church from
Apostolic times to the dawn of the Protestant Reformation.
The second year's course treats of the history of the Church from
the opening of the Protestant Reformation to the present time.
68 CATALOGUE OF LINCOLN UNIVERSITY
V. Systematic Theology.
Professor G. Johnson.
29. Systematic Theology. A. 2 hours.
30. Systematic Theology. B. 2 hours.
The aim of the courses in Systematic Theology is to impart an ade¬
quate knowledge of Christian doctrine in general and the system of
theology embodied in the Westminster Standards in particular.
The effort is made in the time allotted for instruction to survey the
entire field. The course marked A is given to the Junior Gass and
takes up the Definition, Method and History of Systematic Theology;
Religion; Revelation, Inspiration and Rule of Faith; Doctrine of
God% The course marked B is open to Middlers and Seniors, and
considers the doctrines of Man, Sin, Person and Work of Christ,
Regeneration, Faith, Justification, Sanctification, Church and Means
of Grace; the Last Things.
The instruction is by lectures, by text-books, and by assigned
private readings.
The consulting room in the Library is well supplied with works
on Theology, past and present. In the reading room a number of
representative periodicals devoted to the subject may always be found.
VI. Practical Theology.
A. Homiletics.
Professor Carr.
31. Sermons and Analysis of Texts. 2 hours.
32. Sermons Written and Extempore. 2 hours.
33. Extempore Sermons and Addresses. 2 hours.
Expression. 1 hour.
Broadus' " Preparation and Delivery of Sermons" is used as a
text-book. In the Middle and Senior years, instruction is given fur¬
ther by lectures, and by the analysis of texts and the making of plans.
Great importance is attached also to the thorough criticism, from
interpretation to delivery, of every sermon exercise.
In the Junior and Middle Classes the full plans of the written ser¬
mons are examined and gone over in private with each student, for
approval or correction, with suggestions, before it is extended and
completed.
The students of the Middle and Senior Classes must preach with¬
out manuscript. Courses of extempore sermons are required from
them. They are also taught and trained in elocutionary expression,
including its application to the public reading of the Scriptures as well
as to the delivery of sermons. Besides extempore sermons, the Senior
students are exercised in extempore addresses, suitable to the various
CATALOGUE OF LINCOLN UNIVERSITY 69
occasions on which these are usually wanted in the work of the min¬
istry. Each Senior student preaches at a public service in the chapel,
tne sermon being criticised by professors of the seminary at an after-
meeting with the theological students.
B. Pastoral Theology.
Professor Kieffer.
34. Study of Pastoral Epistles. I hour.
35. Lectures on Pastoral Theology. 2 hours.
The courses of study in Pastoral Theology will cover two years
of the curriculum, and have been arranged with a view to the practical
treatment of every phase of activity and influence which belongs to
the Christian pastorate.
The Pastoral Epistles are carefully studied at the outset as the
foundation for the whole course of instruction, and special emphasis
is laid upon the personal and spiritual elements of ministerial training.
Hoppin's " Pastoral Theology " is employed as a text-book, but is sup¬
plemented by lectures.
C. Church Government.
Professor Kieffer.
36. Church Government and Sacraments. 1 hour.
This course includes:
1. A course of instruction in the distinctive forms of church gov¬
ernment and the details of Presbyterian polity, modes of discipline,
and rules of order.
2. Instruction in the institution, design, efficacy and administration
of the sacraments. The questions in the Shorter Catechism furnish
the groundwork for the practical phases of this study, and the answers
to these questions are memorized, as well as carefully studied.
The revised edition of "Form of Government" will be used as
the basis of this study. This will be supplemented by lectures.
VII. Ecclesiastical Latin.
President Rendall.
<37. March's Latin Hymns. 1 hour.
Owing to the war it has been impossible to secure copies of Thomas
a-Kempis. Latin hymns have been used instead. Homiletical hints of
70 catalogue of lincoln university
real value in these old masters are discovered and noted. The
imagery and illustration, finding so much larger play in poetry than in
prose, are enjoyed. Devotional features, so rich in many of these spir¬
itually-minded Fathers, are also studied.
VIII. Missions.
Professor Labaree.
38. History and Practice of Missions. 1 hour.
This course covers two years, and includes the following: 1. A brief
history of missions since Apostolic times. 1 term. 2. The three fol¬
lowing terms will be devoted to the study of the conditions, practical
in each term. Africa will be always one of the fields studied in the two
year course. In addition to the text-book work, special themes will be
problems and missionary success in particular countries, one country
assigned for study and written papers.
