...graduate program in theology. Beginning in September, the two institutions will share libraries and accept each other's credits for graduate degrees; each school, moreover, will list in its catalogue five courses available at the other institution. As a start to ward an exchange of professors, Jesuit Robert Johann will lecture on Catholic moral theology at Union in the fall se mester; the following semester, Union's Tom Driver will teach a course at Fordham on the theology of Paul Tillich...
