Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. Special Committee on Theological Education.

The Special Committee on Theological Education was appointed by the 1940 General Assembly to study theological education. (Similar studies had been conducted in 1917, 1922-23, 1929-30, 1938, and 1939-40.) The new Committee held its first meeting in May of 1941, with Dr. Charles F. Wishart as chair. Drs. Herman Morse and Charles T. Leber of the Board of National Missions served on the committee, along with six others. Committee made its final, comprehensive, report in 1943, including: the procedures of the Committee, a statement of the standard of the Presbyterian Church for theological education, a plan for achieving those standards, and recommendations to the Assembly.
