The Harvard Divinity School is an
undenominational school of theology Its
, constitution prescnbes that: every en-
enlargement be given TO the serious, inn
partial and unbiased investigation OF
Christian truth, and that no assent to the
peculiarities of any denomination OF Chris
tians shall be required either of the instruc-
! tors or students" In conformity with
3 this regulation denominational distinc-
tions are disregarded in the faculty and
in the administration of the school.
The school is a department of Harvard
University. All courses offered by the
faculty Of Arts and Sciences except those
in the laboratories, are open without
extra charge to its students. About three
hundred such courses of instruction were
given in l905-06. Students of theology
Z have Tree access also to the libraries. chapel
services museums, occasional lectures
gymnasium, play grounds, and other re-
sources OF the university. The same fee
for instruction Is required in the Divinity
School as in Harvard College, the Gradu-
ate School Of Arts and Sciences and the
Harvard Law school; and the same stand.
ard Of scholarship aid is applied.
The divinity school accepts the elective
, system Of studies as applicable 10 students
for the ministry. II assumes that nc
single course Of study can properly be
demanded Of all such students, and that
! the expansion of the minister's vocation
involves diversity in the minister's educa-
) ton. The only limitation Of liberty in
the election Of studies is in the case OF
candidates for the degree of Bachelor OF
: Divinity. On the other hand liberty OF
election IS increased by the provision that
two courses from the list of studies Offered
by the Faculty Of Arts and Sciences may
by the approval of the Faculty OF Divinity
be counted for the degree OF Bachelor al
Divinity.
