...administrator. He himself teaches two courses-and is famed among students for his gestures: "the punt" (cupped hands suggesting firmness) and "peeling the cabbage" (when he appears to chop ideas from his head). He has strengthened an already good faculty by adding such scholars as Old Testament Expert James Barr of the University of Edinburgh and Pastoral Psychologist Seward Hiltner of the University of Chicago, brought in language machines to speed student learning of Hebrew and Greek. Most of the seminary's 445 students are still Presbyterians. McCord is delighted that the majority plan to enter the pastoral ministry...
