Secretary I SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE FOREWORD Southern Baptists have made history in the collection of data on churches during 1950. For the first time since the Department of Sur­ vey, Statistics, and Information was formed in 1920, a report has been received from every association for work done in the churches during the current year. This record involves work done by multiplied thou­ sands of organization’s secretaries and church clerks. Primary credit must go to the work done by the associational clerks and the state statistical officers. Reports received from Southern Baptist churches are classified in four different groups: open country churches; churches located in villages of less than 500 population; churches located in towns with Copyright, 1951 500-2500 population; and churches located in cities with more than BROADMAN PRESS 2500 population. These classifications are also separated according to Nashville, Tennessee the number of preaching services held each month, since experience has shown that there is a positive correlation between the number of service, the location of the*church and the record reported. Data on each church are tabulated on an IBM business machine card, making possible a great deal of information which would be diffi­ cult to tabulate monthly. For example, a study bn the tenure of pastors in their present pastorates is made available and a report on the number of churches organized during different periods. It has also been possible to know that progress is being made in the open country as well as in the city. The complete 1950 Survey Bulletin is published in the Handbook with a cross index by subject matter, an invaluable aid to church workers. The list of ministers is omitted since it will be published in the 1951 Southern Baptist Convention Annual. In closing, I should like to recognize the following members of the staff who have worked on some phase of the publication: Mrs. R. G. Courtney. Mrs. Carl Hester, Mrs. Joe Nicholson, and Mrs. Joe Roberts.

In the twentieth century, Protestant theology has a heavy burden on its back-the readiness of some of its most distinguished representatives to embrace totalitarian regimes, notably Adolf Hitler's "Third Reich." In this matter the historian's task is not to jettison but to ensure that the burden on Prot- estants is not too lightly cast aside-an easy temptation if we imagine that the theologians who turned to Hitler did so with the express desire of embracing a monster.

Notes from the Future Ani Kodzhabasheva Report from Quebec Sean Robinson Review: Dogma and Disarray THE OXFORD LEFT REVIEW 8 Editorial Over the last two years and throughout the preparation of this issue of the OLR, we saw rapid politicizations of urban space. From Wall Street to Tahrir Square, from Rothschild Boulevard to the Plaça de Catalunya, the images of millions taking their anger to the streets resonate in our memory. Their individual circumstances and the demands they raised were as diverse as the forms taken by the protests. Yet wherever streets were turned into laboratories for political action and extra-parliamentary forums, they soon revealed the political dimension of urban space we examine in this issue. Where demonstrators did not explicitly address questions of ownership and power, police in- terventions sooner or later did. Their very presence turned urban space into a political arena whose physical contestation was paralleled by an ideological struggle over its interpretation and representation, as Chihab El Khachab (pp. 11-13) exemplifies in his analysis of Tahrir Square. Wherever these prolonged struggles occurred, they led to contradictions between dif- ferent notions of the usage of public space and raised the question of who is to set this agenda.

Introduction Supported by a survey and planning grant from the History Division of the Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourism, this overview of modern architecture and planning in New Haven is the first phase of a comprehensive project sponsored by the New Haven Preservation Trust. The intent is to investigate how and why the city became the center for one of the country’s most aggressive modern building programs of the post-World War II era, attracting a roster of internationally recognized architects and firms considered to be among the greatest leaders of the modernist movement. Although the architectural heritage of this city includes fine examples of early 20th- century contemporary design predating the war, the New Haven story relates most directly to the urban renewal years of the 1950s to 1970s and their dramatic reshaping of the city skyline during that period.

The tenninal dates of the study are 1893, when interest in a centrally-located Baptist college under control of the Convention first developed, and 1956, when Louisiana College completed its first half­ century. Primarily a study of Louisiana College, which was the focal point of the Convention's educational enterprise, the project also in­ cludes consideration of Acadia Academy, a high school organized in 1917; Dodd College, a junior college for gi;c:ls, which ope;rated from 1927 to 1942; and two older institutions, Mount Lebanon Baptist College and Keachie Female College, both of which ceased to exist by 1912. No at­ tempt is made to cover educational activities, such as Sunday School or training programs, which are operated directly by churches. l would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the assistance and guidance given me by the following members of my advisory committee: Dr. Theodore L. Agnew, who. gave generously of his time, who was always available for counsel, and whose directions and suggestions were of constant value; Dr.
