...derision. Born to a Covent Garden barber in 1775, he was admitted at 14 as a student in the Royal Academy. At 27, he was elected a full-fledged academician. The works that won him fame, however, were hardly revolutionary. During his earlier years, Turner churned out Old Testament fantasies, nymphs cavorting in arcadian glades, and historical scenarios of such newsworthy topics as the battles of Waterloo and Trafalgar...
...must lead to social action. >GIBSON WINTER, 49, Episcopalian, professor of ethics and society. Having earned a Ph.D. in sociology at Harvard, he went on to be a pioneer of church renewal and writer of the provocative Suburban Captivity of the Churches. >ROBERT GRANT, 48, Episcopalian, professor of New Testament. The top expert on patristics (the study of the writings of the early church fathers) and gnosticism in the U.S., Grant writes limericks ("Most of them can't be printed"), short plays and books, ineluding one on World War I antisubmarine warfare...
...Sunday afternoons. The Ford Dinner Program frequently provides sumptuous meals with distinguished guests, followed by talks in the cavernous Junior Common Room; prominent professors are regular guests at concentration tables. The writing Seminar and Logos, the weekly newspaper, provide an outlet for House literati, and the Deacon's Testament has been revived at Harvard's only House yearbook. On the lighter side, Kirkland posseses four billiard tables, holds an annual Bierstube (German band and all the beer you can drink), and is highly successful in interhouse athletics. The House Committee is presently negotiating a mixer with two dorms at Wellesley...

Yale, which welcomed Jesuit John Courtney Murray as a visiting professor of philosophy in 1951-52, last semester had a Roman Catholic teaching at its divinity school: Carmelite Father Roland Murphy, an Old Testament expert from Catholic University. Harvard's divinity school has had a chair of Catholic studies since 1958; currently, the professorship is held by Jesuit Sociologist Joseph Fichter. Jesuit Biblical Scholar John McKenzie* is on the staff of the University of Chicago divinity school. Last summer the divinity school...
Conversely, the Rev. Walter Brueggemann of Missouri's Eden Theological Seminary, a United Church of Christ minister, teaches Old Testament to nuns and laywomen studying theology at Roman Catholic Webster College near St. Louis, and an Episcopal priest, the Rev. Donald Winslow, is teaching early church history at Weston College, the Jesuit seminary near Boston. On the student level, seminaries are frequently nondenominational in fact, if not quite yet in name. Harvard's divinity school currently has 14 Catholic students, while Union has 17-including several priests and a nun. Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati has 28 Protestant...
