It recognizes, however, that the future leadership of the Church will make large and increasing demands upon a consecrated laity, and that a growing number of young men and young women desire to prepare themselves for other fields of Christian service. The School, there­ fore, admits to its advantages not only candidates for the ministry, but all qualified students, both men and women, who wish special training in such forms of Christian work as religious education, social service, and missionary service at home or abroad. HISTORY AND SUPPORT The School of Theology of Southern Methodist University grew out of a movement led by Bishop Seth Ward, looking to the establishment of a theological school west of the Mississippi River. Before 1908, there had been a professor of Bible and kindred sub­ jects in many of our church colleges. In that year Dr. E. D. Mouzon was asked to become Dean of the Theological Department of Southwestern University. Two years later, Dr. Mouzon was elected to the episcopacy; but when Southern Methodist University was organized, he was asked to act as Dean of the School of Theology, and in 1914 began the work of organizing the faculty. With the opening of the University in 1915, the School of Theology began its work as an integral part of the institution and was designated by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, as its official theological school west of the Mississippi River. By an act of the Uniting Conference of the Methodist Church in 1939, ownership of the University was vested in the South Central Jurisdictional Con­ ference, and the School of Theology became the only official semi­ nary in the Jurisdiction.
