made encouraging progress from the very beginning. Dur- ing the century of its history it has trained between 1600 and 1700 young men for the Christian ministry. Of these, more than 90 have served the Church in the foreign field. From this seminary about 600 of the present ministers of the United Presbyterian Church have been graduated. The president of the faculty is the Rev. John McNaugher, D.D., LLD.; The Rev. W. R. Wilson, D.D., is registrar, and the Rev. D. F. McGill, D. D., LL.D, is secretary. Besides these clergymen, the faculty includes the Rev. John A. Wilson, D.D., LL.D., who is emeritus professor of church history and government; the Rev. James D. Rankin, D.D., professor of systematic and biblical theology and Christian sociology; and the Rev. Robert N. Montgomery, Th. B.. acting professor of Old Testament literature and exegesis. J. Brad Craig is instructor of religious education, and John C. Smith is instructor of elementary Greek and Elbert R. Moses is instructor in public speaking. By a special arrangement with the University of Pitts- burgh, affiliation with that institution is arranged on a basis very advantageous to the theological students, its under- graduate and graduate courses being open to them. The working relation gives the students of the seminary all pos- sible opportunity of supplementing their college training by prosecuting advanced and specialized courses. leading to standard degrees. Pittsburgh Seminary is one of the group of universities, colleges and theological seminaries in the United States co- operating in the support and control of the American School of Oriental Research in Jérusalem. This school was founded to afford such opportunities as have never before been open to American students in the study of Biblical and Palestinian archeology; the geography and natural features of the Holy Land; the history of Israel; early church history; the Arabic and other Semitic languages; Mohammedanism; political, industrial and social conditions in Bible lands; Roman ad- ministration and colonization in the East; the Crusades; and the comparative history of religions. Travel through the land and researches in historical geography and archeology are features of this school.
