Alumni of big Methodist DePauw University complain that in spite of its 1,300 students, its leafy campus in Greencastle, Ind. and its comfortable presidential house, DePauw's presidents consistently resign to become Methodist bishops. Of the six head men DePauw has elected since 1903, four hastily left it in the lurch as soon as Methodism's General Conference beckoned. Last of these was liberal, orotund G.

So was Rollins (Winter Park, Fla.), which considers itself to have been shabbily treated, contends that an experimental, progressive college like itself should...
...glory, on thy people pour thy power; Crown thine ancient Church's story, bring her bud to glorious flower. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage. For the facing of this hour, for the facing of this hour. Thanks to Dean Robert Guy Mc-Cutchan of DePauw University, Methodists are given some tunes new to the hymnal. Against strong opposition, the commission voted to include Auld Lang Syne and the famed Irish Londonderry Air for hymns beginning It singeth low in every heart and Above the hills of time the Cross is gleaming. The broad, soaring principal theme...
