...produce an inchoate mixture of material, but this department, guided by an interest in various approaches--social, intellectual, constitutional, etc., has made of them a study of civilization. Admission into the field is selective and restricted to fifty from each class. The special fields are Greece, Rome, Germany, France, England, America, Middle Ages, Renaissance, 17th century, 18th century, and 19th century.

...Methodists the world over, this week was Aldersgate Week, and fit 8:45 p.m. on May 24, the 200th anniversary of the warming of John Wesley, many a Methodist church was to hold special services. In England, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York were to preach in recognition of Wesley's contributions to their church. Last Sunday, throughout the U.
