Excerpt from An Address: Delivered Before the Philosophian and Adelphian Societies of the Furman University at Their Annual Meeting, Greenville, S. C., July 18, 1855

It is true that the student may breathe a moral atmosphere having more elements of the Baptist than any other religious persuasion, for most of the faculty are of that faith, and there is also a theological school, designed. To prepare young men for the ministry, attached to the University. It is equally true that young men preparing for the ministry in all the orthodox Pro testant churches are admitted to the collegiate and theological departments free of all charge for tuition. It is equally true that all students are at full liberty to attend Divine service on the Sabbath in any church - no rule prescribes attendance on a Baptist chaplain or in a Baptist church. Those great truths of the Christian religion, only, in which all Protestants concur, are expounded in the college walls - all controverted doctrines and principles are studiously avoided by chaplain and professors.
