IN CONNECTION WITH THE THEOLOGICAL COUKSE. In June, 18G6, the General Synod, R. P. D. C., received a memorial from the seven members of the first graduating class of Hope College, who had in view the Gospel ministry, petitioning the Synod to take such measures as might enable them to pursue their theological course at Hope College. The Synod granted the request, with the proviso that the arrange ment should not, at that time, involve any increased expenditures_ that it should remain in the power of the Synod to revoke the permis sion at any time— and that a committee should visit the field with implied directions to examine the theological basis. They also instructed the Board of Education and the Council of Hope College to institute some method for carrying their purpose into effect. Accordingly, during the first Commencement week, said Bodies assigned the various branches of the Junior Theological year as follows: To Prof. P h e l p s , Sacred Exegesis and Rhetoric; to Prof. O g g e l Introduction to Sacred Scripture; to Prof. B e c k ,Hebrew and Greek Languages; to Prof. Scott ,Chronology and Ancient Sacred History; to Prof. C eispell ,Sacred Archaeology and Confession of Faith. ’
