7 This spirit is expressed in the following
statement of Samuel Miller who taught both Manly and Boyce: "Resolved,
that I will endeavor, by the grace of God, to set such an example for the
candidates for the ministry committed to my care as shall convince them that,
though I esteem theological knowledge and all its auxiliary branches of science
very highly, I esteem genuine and deep piety as a still more vital and
important qualification." William L. McEwan, "Princeton in the Work of the
Pastorate," The Centennial Celebration of the Theological Seminary of the
Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (Princeton, NJ.: The
Theological Seminary, 1912): 404-05.
