...experiencing a theological awakening. American Protestantism is fast acquiring a living theology-a far more 'live' theology than either the antimodernist 'Bible-believing' fundamentalism or the modernist 'liberal rationalism' of the last quarter-century. The revival is most obvious among the seminarians, but I see it also among the intellectuals generally, and I believe it is even happening in the general public...
...little trouble demonstrating the value of an Activities Center. In a University which boasted seventy-four extracurricular groups in 1941, only three of which had their own buildings and most of which were badly in need of additional space and equipment, the need of an Activities Center was obvious. In addition, the lack of a decent post-antiquity theatre for plays, concerts, forums, etc. had been grumbled over for years, and the Alumni were quick to see that a building filling these gaps in the network of extracurricular activities would also fill the requirements of a war memorial. With general...

Down the line on foreign economic questions, Republican voted in Congress are solid evidence...
...recently told the press that the members of his squad were making more money than he was." I have followed the sports pages quite closely, and have seen no approximation of such a statement. Knowing Oklahoma's football, I am sure no such declaration has been made. It is obvious that one J.H.S., who assumed responsibility for the article, should devote more time to uncovering facts and less to reading the Saturday Evening Post. F. C. Donahoe...
