Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eighty-Third Annual Report of the Board of Education of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America: Presented to the General Assembly at New York, N. Y., May, 1902 D. A fourth hindrance is only beginning to manifest itself, but may develop soon into large proportions. It is found in the disposition to shorten the college course so as to make the fourth year an equivalent for the first year in the professional school. Large freedom in elective studies, and the introduction among the electives in the college course of some of the special studies of the curricula of the professional schools, combine to make this possible. There are reasons why such a plan may be best in the study of law and of medicine; but experience has shown that the student of theology commonly comes to the semi nary not too well prepared in that general culture which is of vital importance for his usefulness and success even when he has had a full college course of four years. If the course should be reduced to three years he would surely be at great disadvantage. When the college and the seminary are in the same place it is possible to take some studies in each institution in the same year; but the Junior in the seminary, if taking full advantage of his course, has little time to bestow upon collegiate courses; and indeed these courses are presupposed as the basis of his seminary work.
