Finally last summer, two Jewish scholars, including Rabbi Saul Kraft of New York City's Queens College, signed up to teach at Georgetown. But across the country other educators still echo McFadden's complaint. The scramble is on to find Jewish teachers-not only of theology but of Jewish history, literature and culture...

The Navy...
...reason that since "Harvard gives no academic credit for journalism courses, pre-law courses, or pre-business courses, it should give none for premilitary courses either." Harvard does indeed give these courses, and it gives credit for them. Certainly you will admit that the decision to teach the professions in the graduate schools rather than in the College is based on pragmatic grounds, not grounds of principle. Engineering, for instance, is a profession in which undergraduates may take their degree...
