said. "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.

Supply Bids

The Eugene School Board will
consider bids on school supplies,
fuel, busses, and kitchen equip
ment at the next regular meeting
Monday at 8 p.m. in the admin
istration office.
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.

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

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."
