Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Catalogue of the Theological Seminary, Andover, Massachusetts, 1808-1908 There have been eighteen previous general catalogues of the Seminary, beginning in 1815, and continuing triennially until 1857, inclusive; subsequent issues were in 1867, 1870 and 1880 (published Those of the earlier series were prepared by members of the Faculty. Several editions were compiled with characteristic painstaking and accuracy by Prof. Bela B. Edwards, as is specially attested by the letters collected by him in preparation for the cata logue of 1845 and preserved in the Seminary Library. The catalogue of 1867 was prepared by Rev. A. H. Quint, D.D. Of the class of 1852, the material having been in part collected by Rev. William R. Jewett of the class of 1834. Dr. Quint was also the compiler of the edition of 1870, and in part of that of 1880, the latter having been completed and published by Rev. Henry A. Hazen of the class of 1857, with constant and valuable assistance from Rev. William L. Ropes of the class of 1852, Seminary librarian, and of Miss Mary E. Stone of the Congregational Library, Boston. Before 1857 the catalogues contained only graduates in the regular course, giving in one line the name, college and residence. In 1857 and 1867 non-graduates were included, and at the close of the catalogue a partial list given of resident licentiates, but with out the Year of residence in the Seminary or other facts. In 1870 and 1880, as planned by Dr. Quint, the data of both graduates and non-graduates were given much more fully, including date of birth and continuous record of ministerial service, with a supplementary list of resident students and resident licentiates, with the year of their residence, date of ordination and latest address.
