Synopsis
Excerpt from A Russian Priest
The Russian clergy are educated at the Seminary, and those who show special ability, afterwards enter the Academy, which occupies in clerical education, the same place as the University in civil education. Among the Academy professors are some of the ablest men in the empire, and to pass out of this institution with the degree of M agistrant implies a very high standard of learning. Such a student, from a professional point of view, is a made man. There are several courses open to him. He may either enter the ranks of the white or secular clergy, get married and te ceive a nomination to some lucrative town living, or else he may remain a. Layman and become a Seminary pro fessor; or, if he is of an ambitious disposition, he may enter the black or monastic clergy, in which case he will re main celibate, and live in the monastery in the hopes of eventually receiving an appointment as archieréi or bishop, the latter being always appointed from the monastic clergy.
