Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Princeton Seminary Bulletin, Vol. 35: March, 1942 It is important to observe in this connection that a leading American seminary which had decided to inaugurate a summer term dropped the idea immediately when the Faculty discovered that out of two hundred and fifty students only ten were interested in returning for summer work. Nevertheless, while the introduction of a special summer term does not appear to be the way in which the Church and the nation can be best served in the present crisis, the Faculty of Princeton Seminary will be willing to respond to. Emergency appeals and will allow outstanding students to grad uate in less than the normal time. Not only so; the Seminary will admit without delay students who are graduated from college at mid-year. Spe cial introductory courses will be provided for such students to enable them to finish their seminary course exactly three years from the time of their admission. No one can tell, of course, how the prolongation of the war will affect the enrollment of students and the normal life of the Seminary. We antici pate, as other seminaries do, that the entering class in 1942 will be smaller than the class enrolled in 1941. We know of a number of students who would ordinarily be coming to the Seminary next year who have felt it to be their duty as Christians and as citizens to' volunteer for active service. So important is it, however, that the, ranks of the Christian ministry should be maintained at full strength in the present crisis, that it would be dis astrous if candidates for the ministry dropped to a low level in quality or in quantity. The Seminary looks, therefore, at this time to its Alumni to keep the claims of Christ's service in the ministry before the ablest Chris tian young men in their congregations and their sphere of influence. When the present horror shall have ended, the Church of Jesus Christ will need as never before in her history, the largest possible number of consecrated sons and daughters, to face a world that in the interval, will have redis covered and applied to itself the forgotten designation lost.
