Carleton's President Cowling, a bouncing Yaleman who in 28 years has transformed a small Congregationalist school (alma mater of Pierce Butler and the late Economist Thorstein Veblen) into a prosperous, top-ranking college, should have no trouble recruiting two facultymen of suitable calibre.

"Jesus may not have been much of a theologian," admits this moderator of the Congregationalist Church. "He, however, was a real economist...

But Kipling still followed, marching as to war, helmeted with the crescent of Islam, armored in Congregationalist thunder, proudly knapsacked with the White Man's burden...
