Boston's Richard Cardinal Gushing sent the biggest, a 22-in. by 35-in. reproduction of a portrait of Pope John XXIII by Paris' Bernard Buffet; Theologian Paul Tillich the longest, a two-page personal letter. Postmaster General John Gronouski got his 2,000 cards out early, remembered to zip-code each and every one. Georgia's Governor Carl Sanders, who had bucked voter opinion to back Johnson, discovered too late that the etching of the Governor's mansion had been tampered with-the name Goldwater was scratched in amongst branches of an overhanging tree...
...most of its 130-year history, Wake Forest was known as "North Carolina's best high school." Since a scholarly Baptist theologian named Harold Wayland Tribble became president in 1950, the college has advanced to become a reputable small (2,900 students) liberal arts school. It offers degrees in law and medicine, gives M.A.'s in seven fields.

Fewer than half of the undergraduates and only three-fifths of the teachers...

Last year Dean Dillenberger, a United Church of Christ minister, was the principal graduation speaker at St. Albert's College of the Roman Catholic Dominican Fathers. He currently teaches one class with Episcopalian Theologian Edward Hobbs; next quarter he will teach one with Father Kevin Wall of St. Albert...
Since its founding 57 years ago, Roman Catholic De Paul taught philosophy with the serenity of somnambulism. Its curriculum rested comfortably on the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas, the 13th century Italian theologian who established Aristotelian philosophy as a rational basis for Christian belief. At Chicago's De Paul, as at most U.S. Catholic colleges, modern thinkers were studied to be refuted rather than understood, as if philosophy were a kind of secular theology. Now the university has adopted a radically different approach. Firmly backed by the president, the Very Rev. John R. Cortelyou, a noted comparative endocrinologist...
