Though the No. 1 Congregationalist is Statistician Roger Babson, moderator of the Church's General Council, an honorary moderator is Dr. Mary Emma Woolley, retiring president of Mount Holyoke College. Last week female Congregationalists glowed with pride when they heard that one of their sex had been elected to be Congregationalist Babson's opposite number in South...
