...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...

Switzerland's Johann Pestalozzi urged schools to stop the "empty chattering of mere words" and help children to learn through observation, experimentation and reasoning.
