Thus completed was Oxford-Cambridge's first clean sweep on U. S. soil. The apple-cheeked, bespectacled, India-born...

Of its four sections, English, Eastern, European and American, by all odds the biggest and most active in calling the Conference was the last, headed by vigorous, 71-year-old Professor Emeritus William Adams Brown of Manhattan's Union Theological Seminary, who is also the Council's active president...
