Unlike many a fellow philosopher, Dr. Hocking thinks that the time is propitious for an emphasis on religion: "Its very disorder sharpens the point of the search for agreed principle, and its loss of anchorage facilitates because it requires new course-making." But traditionalists will sight few landmarks on Dr. Hocking's course. The world-faith-to-be he defines in appropriately vague philosophical terms as "a belief in obligation, in a source of things which is good, in some kind of permanence for what is real in selfhood, and in the human aspect of deity." He pins...
...seven violent, often distressing, sometimes incoherent hours the eleven directors wrangled over ways & means of piloting Texas Corp. out of the search light beam its chairman had attracted by seeming to be friends with Nazi Germany. All were agreed that the New York Herald Tribune's three-week-old revelation of the connection between Rieber and Hitler's cumbersome ambassador-off-the-record to U.

The Court, composed of five prominent French jurists, an admiral and a general...
Last week a special C. C. N. Y. committee, having considered 60 candidates in its search for a president was ready to report. Its unanimous choice: Dexter Keezer. The Board of Higher Education was prepared for conservative opposition to Dr. Keezer. To its surprise, the storm came from another quarter...
