...120th anniversary, the weekly English-language Chronicle has reason to be proud. By a quarter century, no other Jewish publication has lasted so long. With 60,000 subscribers of all persuasions in 50 countries (there are even two in Thailand), the Chronicle has determinedly maintained its independence of political, communal or financial interests.

Last week, as he prepared to step down in favor of his like-minded former student, T.C.'s Dean Hollis Caswell, 52, President Russell could claim with justice that, at their best, T.C.'s doctrines have injected new humanity and freedom into the schools.
