Perhaps the most important forward step that the department has taken this year is the increase of emphasis on the cultural background of English literature rather than the scholarly side. Professor Munn and Professor Jones won praise for this, while certain lectures of Professor Lowes and Professor Magoun were criticized as appealing only to the pedantic sort of future Ph.D...

A committee thumbed down "any federation, council or what not that would hinder us in the full and free preaching of the whole counsel of God." In the opening sermon, to which Baptists annually look forward as representing the very best tradition of Southern preaching, Dr. John Richard Sampey, retiring president, said: "An intelligent and convinced Baptist, with the New Testament in his hand, finds little to draw him toward a church which denies the competence of the individual soul to do business with God through...
