Entitled the "Freshman Seminar Program," the groups will include a total of 150 to 175 freshmen, who in many cases need qualify only with "enthusiasm and lively interest."

To atheists, politics is religion; rival schemes of worldly order, are, literally, conflicting eschatologies; and the contemporary sense of individual political impotence is as awful a burden as Luther's over-whelming sense of guilt and sin, of total depravity--"the dark night of the soul"--before he discovered hope in the unmerited gift of Divine Grace...
