Minister Blake's first post was as assistant pastor of Manhattan's now demolished Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas, where, even the sexton told him he "ought to shout more."

He got a call to Albany's First Presbyterian Church, went on five years later to the Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, Calif., where he stayed for eleven years before the General Assembly elected him Stated Clerk...
...such dry fare as course papers, it seems to me, means abandoning a premise that the late Dan Frost operated on when he started the Journal: that most courses and tutorials at Harvard present stylized, narrow, and sectarian approaches to their material, and that a publication like the Journal ought to give students a chance to transcend the limitations of course writing.

Disconcerting in that they advocate immorality of the sort that even right-thinking undergrads (who allow it in thumbed copies of The Naked Lunch, and sublimate...
