"But the last decade has seen a growing reaffirmation of the true relationship, and an eager ness to interpret it on a broad, non-sectarian basis." Dr. Brown is an author, educa tor, former college president and now director of the Danforth Foundation, a trust fund interest ed in the spiritual aspects of edu cation. The trend to restore more relig ious perspective to learning has been reflected in a virtual wave of Christian college self-study pro jects on the subject (300 nf them since 1948), faculty conferences and student movements. Climaxing these campus and regional activities will be a na tional convocation June 30 of the nation's 471 Protestant-related critical judgment." said Dr. Ron aid Wells, head of the education division of the American Baptist Convention. SOUGHT OBJECTIVITY Dr. M. C. Ballengcr, author of a recent study on the issue,' said "American higher education in the early 20th Century sought complete objectivity, ruling out anything that could not be meas ured by instruments of science." But a powerful school of educa tional thought has developed, holding that true knowledge must be related to the inner man, and ultimately to a critical judgment under Ood's laws. Under a Hazcn Foundation grant, a panel of top scholars an alyzed the question in 1947, and concluded the best scholastic colleges, the first such gathering ! standards could be offered with in the country's history. in a religious focus.

Bids for furnishing the items were opened this week to permit tabulation and will be referred to board members. Other business will Include a report on the proposal by school officials that a third appraiser be named to evaluate a proposed school site in the Sunny Hollow area. Most of the land under con sideration is owned by Frank Kinney of Eugene, whose asking price is considerably higher than the price set by a school district appraiser. Board members have suggested to Kinney that a third, impar tial appraiser be retained in an effort to resolve the difference. The site is needed, officials says, to build an elementary school in a few years.

This is about 12 de- long. At a point 9 degrees Saturn alone ihic lino anH Neptune is there. with a diameter about umph for mathematical astron omy. After Uranus was found in 1781, its motion varied slightly from that calculated for it. Some suspected a more distant un known body was causing the dis turbance. In 1846, the brilliant young French mathematician Leverier completed his laborious calcula tions regarding the location of the disturbing object. He wrote the Berlin observatory slating where in the sky he thought the telescope should be pointed lo find it. IMPERIAL GOD The director of the observa tory, Dr. Encke, was to he the principal in a birthday party the evening of the letter's arrival. Skeptical of the Frenchman's conclusions, he turned over the figures to his assistant, Galle. With the helper, Galle found Neptune within a degree of the predicted place. When informed of the noted discovery, Encke re gretfully foresook his natal cele bration and rushed to the ob servatory. In classical literature, Nep tune was the imperial god of the sea. When an unauthorized hur ricane stirred up by Aeolus off the Sicilian coast was fiercely tossing the Trojan ships, stern old Neptune arose bodily from the crest of the wave to ascer tain the cause of the tumult. As the salty water trickled from his beard, he flourished his trident and calmed the turbulent bil lows with his booming voice of authority. teachers to be soley objective," said Dr. Raymond F. Mi-Lain, head nf the national council's Christian Higher Education Com mission. "A college is not a college un less it deals with rational inquiry but it is not a Christian college unless ils rational inquiry is con tained and sustained in a context of Christian faith." ADDED TO STIR Such views added lo the new stir about Christian colleges, of which there are 714 in the coun try (471 Protestant, 243 Catho lic) among 1,851 general colleges. There are 667 slate, 3 Jewish and 467 private colleges. Dr. Brown, at the request of this reporter, cited some exam ples of just how Christian col lege teaching can perform its special role. Take, for instance, a course in mathematics. He said: "Besides teaching math fully, a teacher can give students a sense of the orderliness of the universe of ils balanced, mathematical de pendability. Students can come away with a sense that they them selves are not here by accident that God is behind the rules working in an orderly fashion not an unpredictable, haphazrad one. This is one contribution math, well taught, can make." LESS COMPLETE Christian colleges, he said recognize that a man wthout com mitment is a less complete man They believe in the importance of religion and have the freedom to say so, while state schools do not." One thing that brought the "new concern" with religious ele ments in education, he said, was recognition of the "danger that a single pattern of education could be set by powerful, non church universities. "If Christian colleges simply (ry to be little copies," he said, "they fail in (heir purpose and consideration for religious mat ters could be lost. There is a place in America for a great many patterns. The secular pattern came to be partially accepted until it was realized all was not well."
