...Manhattan the biggest, most active anti-war machine of its kind, the Emergency Peace Campaign, received from abroad its livest spark plug. Now almost a year old (TIME, March 16 et seq.), the E. P. C. announced that during January and February some 300 speakers, laymen and clergymen will talk for peace in 1,000 U. S. cities. At their head will be a lame British spinster of 60 whom many a religionist considers the greatest preacher of her sex in the world - Dr. A. (for Agnes) Maude Royden. She arrived in Manhattan last week, proceeded to Baltimore...
...British Sabbath: Anglican clergymen are gagged by the Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of All England who forbids them to sermonize on the King & Mrs. Simpson and prays publicly that God may "rule over" (i. e. overrule) the judgment of His Majesty. The Primate is not actually jeered (as the Cabinet are) on leaving Downing Street after a conference with the Prime Minister but a woman darts forward to thrust at the Archbishop's limousine a placard: "ABDICATION MEANS REVOLUTION!"

...half a century Rev. Adolf William Meyer of St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Yonkers, N. Y. has kept conscientiously shipshape.

Embryonic lawyers, doctors and clergymen could depend on the University for a "good general education," learn the special tricks of their trade elsewhere, preferably from the organized professions themselves, perhaps through special institutes attached to the Universities but independently administered. The Universities could disregard some "professions" altogether. "All there is to journalism can be learned through a good education and newspaper work. All there is to teaching can be learned through a good education and being a teacher. All there is to public administration can be discovered by getting...
...defeats (1928-31), as the purported birthplace of the drinking song Solomon Levi* as a modestly endowed, progressive liberal arts institution with more graduates in Who's Who than any school of its size. Founded by an Episcopal bishop in 1822, Hobart has had 14 presidents, all Episcopal clergymen. Its "coordinate" college for women, William Smith, has shared the last three. Last week these educational twins formally installed a new president, neither clergyman nor alumnus but a Dartmouth English professor named William Alfred Eddy...
