...character, became committed to the then jarring notion that Christianity is a historical religion that can find its full meaning only within a total concept of human culture. This conviction led the Divinity School to ride the crest of each successive wave of American Protestant thought. First, as a citadel of liberalism, it warred on fundamentalism. Then it pioneered in historical criticism of the Bible, developed professional standards for Sunday-school teachers. Later the school was swept by Karl Earth's neo-orthodoxy and Paul Tillich's existential theology. And it was in the library of fortresslike Swift...

Each Dior window features a Christmas tree standing on a terrace at Versailles (that citadel of un-Christian morals). Inside, mannequins topped with Marie Antoinette hairdos and draped with Dior hostess gowns hold aloft model reindeer and-of all things-old sailing boats. From the ceiling hang huge plastic chandeliers, each of which took 300 hours to make. Said Decorator Jean-François Daigre...
...from scrimmage-just 16 short of the alltime collegiate record. Sighed Michelosen, "Just the fact that the defense is out there ordinarily would prevent anything like that." Ordinarily, yes-but not when the other team is West Virginia. Last week as the undefeated Mountaineers beat the Citadel, 25-2, their average in four games this season stood at 44.5 points per game...
