...Gothic shadow cast across Philadelphia by the ancient and excellent University of Pennsylvania, Temple University has spent ten years clamoring for public recognition. Cheap (tuition: $200) and teeming (enrollment: 10,106), Temple is comparable to City College of New York...
...gate a crack, they allowed Harris Teachers College to scoot gratefully out. Then the professors set about penning up a big, grimy animal which had long been running free.

Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick. No less monumental was the Laymen's Foreign Missions Inquiry, to which Mr. Rockefeller was the largest contributor (TIME, Oct. 17, 1932 et seq.). That this survey, which found great need of interdenominational cooperation in foreign missions, was received "unenthusiastically" by the Northern Baptist Convention, its onetime President Charles Oscar Johnson was quick...
