...President Pusey turned to the problem of secularism and tried to resolve the conflict between what he saw as the deleterious elements of secularism and the fact that Harvard was a secular university. Pusey clarified, "There can be no quarrel in a University with secularism itself, but only with it as it comes hubristically in its turn to pretend to speak for the whole of life." For Pusey, therefore, there is no absolute resolution of the dichotomy, but rather a balancing of religious and secular forces, each of which has its proper role in the University's tradition...
Torn between conflicting philosophies, the student may turn away from Judaism completely; or he may come back to it with new intellectual tools, seeking to mold a familiar image. "Some people think that Judaism becomes more respectable when it wears the cloak of popular philosophies," Rabbi Gold said. "It is quite likely that students prefer to discuss Jewish questions on grounds more familiar to them: how does religion relate to things taught them at the University? How does it fit in with different philosophies?" Religion is discussed from the reference frame of their new value system. This is inimical...
Frank Yeomans of Harvard, Dave Bain and Steve Snyder of Yale should make short work of the sprints--although Cambridge's Dewo Roberts has a 9.8 100 to his credit. The 440 may turn into a battle between two Americans, Harvard captain Albie Gordon and Yale sophomore Jim Stack.

Protests aside, however, Appleton came down and Memorial Church went up, its slender steeple...
...elected and re-elected to the New York state assembly, wife Eleanor making 26 speeches on his behalf. He also helped found the American Legion. Like T.R., he was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy-but where T.R. had used the job at century's turn to build up the fleet, Ted, in normalcy 1921-24, had to preside over disarmament negotiations. And when, in 1924, Ted put on a 15-speech -a-day campaign with the same energy his father had shown as G.O.P. candidate for Governor of New York, he was forced...
