This new kind of pastorate might never have come into being if, one day in 1948, the organ in a small Minnesota country church had not broken down. Deacon Alan Humrickhouse of Royalton, Minn, (pop: 500) went looking for an electrician. He found Vernon Pick at nearby Two Rivers. Talking over the repair job at Pick's house, he was surprised to find the electrician had a library that would do justice to a college professor. Pick was equally surprised to hear the way the deacon talked electric motors (he had been installing communications equipment for the Bell Telephone...

...action. It is in specific articles that the justification for the aims of i.e. must be sought. It is by analyzing a substantial group that we may determine whether Mr. Raditsa has done more than put together a miscellaneous assortment of writings, whether he has in fact created an organ which will express a distinct and significant element of thought at the University. Two issues do not provide sufficient material to form any judgment. Nevertheless even in the current issue the articles forcibly direct our attention to the problem of "the discovery of the self," be it by means...
