The Theological department embraces two distinct courses of study, one designated the "Shorter Course," adapted to students somewhat advanced in life as well as attainments; and the other a very full circle of studies, comprehending every branch of learning deemed essential to make an accomplished teacher of the Christian doctrine and practice, church discipline, and pastoral duty. Though this institution is placed under the particular patronage and control of the Baptists, yet it is open, like most other seats of learning among us, to students having the Christian ministry in view, of all denominations. One of the peculiarities of this institution, and a very commendable one, is a regular and systematic instruction in sacred music. The annual commencement is held on the 3d Wednesday in August. The total annual expense, including all charges necessary to be paid to the institution, is, in the Academic department $74; in the Collegiate department $84; and in the Theological department $54.
