The department offers a wide spectrum of courses both for majors and non-majors. Religious stud- meetings ies at Connecticut College, as at most comparable instiru- tions, are centered in the Hebrew-Christian tradition, but attention is given also to other great world religions and to contemporary issues and formulations of religion in the life of the community and the individual. The departmental instructors are in dose touch with contemporary research and advancing rheologicaf currents in their own specialized fields of the Old and New Tesramenrs and other areas of scholarship in religion. Mr. Purvis is presently engaged in research and writing about the ori- gins of the Samaritan Sect and Mandaeanism, and Mr. Wiles is doing research in intercessory aspects of Paul's apostolic ministry. 1n line with the over-all growth of the college, it is hoped that the curriculum may be consider- ably revised and still further extended within the next year or two.

Formation of sectarian groups

About two years ago the officers of the student Re- Iigiccs Fellowship together with the Direcror of Chapel Acriviries, approached President Shain with the request to be allowed to explore ways and means of opening up the campus for the work of various religious groups. Up to that time the only religious body functioning on the campus had been the united student Religious Fellowship, which sponsored all reLigious activities.

The four famous scholars who took p:trt in the panel and in the Sunday morning chapel service concluded the conference, brought with them a weigbt of learning and a liveliness of interest that communicated itself to a large group of students and faculty. In November ~ series of weekly lectures and discussions of general religious interest will begin in November around the theme of the effect of science on the religious and ethical life of man in the twentieth century.

The vicinity. Under this cooperative venture a divinity student Jewish group, with Rabbi Goldstein of the Beth El Syna- gogue, divides its attention between social gatherings and serious religious discussions. The varied and well-planned program of the Yves, with Father Kanopka of St. Mary's Church as their off-campus adviser, has included so far this semester a talk on "Sex and Love" by Father Leo Farley, and "The Nun in the World" by Sister Maria del Rey of the Maryknoll sisters. An unofficial ministerial counselling service for students of all three faiths has recently been set up; three clergymen (Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish) chosen by the students themselves, will be available to those who would like to consult with a minister who comes from off campus. Of an entirely different nature is the visit to the college for six weeks of a Hindu woman, Miss Padmabai, a faculty member from Women's Christian College in Madras, India. She is giving a series of weekly lectures on the religions of India, and also assisting temporarily in the Great Religions course given this semester by the department of religion. Yes, there is much activity and experimentation in religious life at Connecticut College! While its' fulL significance is difficult to estimate, it seems beyond doubt that a challenging opportunity has been presented to the religion department and the college chapel in this era of pluralism and ecumenism.

DECEMBER 1964 7 IN Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the Getman philosopher Friedrich Nieczche, remarks: "What child would nothave cause to weep over its parents." His statement is a shock. ing one, for it assumes that children might possiblyregret their parents, or dislike them, or be divided from them in some way; and it suggests that this alienation of childfrom parent not only produces sorrow in the child, but is something for which the parent is responsible. Since this is Fathers' Weekend at Connecticut College, I should like ro explain in what sense I take Nietzsche's statement to be true, and why I think the tears of a child over its parents are both necessary and fortunate. You send your daughters to college and when they return, they have changed. You can tell this by what they say, and they say some things which are not just unexpected but distressing. For example, you may hear your daughter remarking: "Perhaps labor unions are not so bad after all!" Or to be fair to the other side: "The best kind of government is no government at all!" When you attempt to understand these heresies, you find that you cannot; Cause to Weep conversation between you is at best very difficulr-ecorn- posed more of loud silence than of speech-and finally when that silence becomes pervasive, communication between you has ceased to be at all.

There are rwo standard replies to these questions. The first from Socrates says that the unexamined life is not worth living. But is the examined life one worth living, and is the unlived life worth examining? The second from the British philosopher, F. H. Bradley, points out that we do, in fact, think; to ask us not to think at all diminishes our humanity, and to advise us not to think well is downright foolish. But our question was not do we think-meaning I recommend that you do not think at all; or do we think weLl-meaning I recommend that you think but not well. It was why ought I to inquire? For the sake of what is inquiry? One answer to this question is found in the child. A child is very much like an argument and indeed like inquiry itself. What is peculiar and fascinating about inquiry is that it may lead us to conclusions which we do not prefer; and what is most compelling about inquiry is that we must SUppOIt its results whether we are pleased with them or not.

There is a passage from Bradley in which he comments upon tradition in philosophy. He says: "Existing philos- ophies cannot answer the purpose. For whether there is progress or not, at all events there is change; and the changed minds of each generation will require a difference in what has to satisfy their intellect. Hence there seems as much reason for new philosophy as there is for new poetry. In each case the fresh production is usually much inferior to something already in existence. . .

As a result, the central co-ordinating body, Religious Fehlowship Cabinet, is now able to stimulate general religious imerest on campus by presenting programs of its own concerning questions pertinent co all three religions. As one of its major programs this year, Religious by ANN DOUGHTY '65 Fellowship presented a week-end conference titled "The President of Religious Fellowship Challenge of Existentialism," on October 10th. Dr. John Wild, Professor of Philosophy ar Yale, and Dr. Louis Dupre, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Theology at Georgetown, developed themes within existential philosophy which they considered significant rethinking of religious thought. Dr. Hans Jonas, Professor of Philosophy at the New School, criticized these themes as religiously weak and morally inadequate. On Sunday, Dr. John AtJ..acquarrie from Union Thee- logical Seminary, concluded the conference with a discussion of the question "Is Life a WalL or a Door?" The question emanated from a quote by Camus: "Every wall is a door. Let us not look for the door, and the way out, anywhere but in the wall against which we are living. Instead, let us seek respite where it is,-in the very thick of the battle. It is there."

Dr. Macquarrie suggested that to live life is to meet i~ head on, to find meaning in involvement rather than escape. He elaborated by stressing that the Christian answer to the challenge of existentialism lies in Mark's words, "In losing your life you will find it." Because existentialism is at the forefront of most philosophical and theological thinking today, the students responded with eager interest. Affecting all' areas of thought, especially twentieth-century-man's conception of himself, existentialism is a challenge which must be met by the organized religions. It is important as an impetus forcing the Church to restate traditional faith in terms of the urgencies of today. Concentrating on moral and intellectual issues, it challenges our times to reestablish the norms of religious life.

Religion and the Liberal Arts College

by JAMES D. PURVIS Assistant Projessor of Religion

I have been asked by Dean Johnson to address the Class of 1968 on rhe subject of religion and the liberal errs college, using a form of address suitable for a chapel sermon. 1 am never called upon to speak of religionin general, or of its relation to higher education in particular, but what I think of a volume published by the 19th century theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher, entitled ObM die Religion: Reden an die gebildeten unter ibre» verach· tern (On Religion: Speeches to its Cultured Despisers- literally, "to the informed among its scorners"). I think of this work mostly because of its title. It seemsthat whenever anyone takes upon himself the task of defining religion, or clarifying its place within the liberal am experience, he becomes defensive. There is the tendencyto be apologetic; to uphold the significance of that which many take too lightly; to correct the misunderstandings Mr. Pf~rvis is Assistant Professor of Religion at Connecticut which have caused some to write off as peripheral wharis College.

He does this because of his conviction that there crucial questions of life and existence with which this is a transcendent reality in whose eternal purposes there book wrestles. There is also the question of the meaning is meaning-though the path of understanding may not of faith-Job put it rather crudely when he said "Does be alrogerher clear. Nor is Job pessimistic abour human man serve God for nought?" There is the question of the knowledge and human reason. Job's faculty of reason has nature of God-Is God both all powerful and all good? brought him to this place in his quest for meaning, and If he is all good, how is one to explain undeserved suf- he is not ready to abandon it. If Job teaches us anything, fering? If he is all powerful, why does he allow evil to it should certainly be that man possesses a desire to know exist? Is he an alien God, unconcerned with the welfare the trurh, and that there is within him (man) a restless- of his creation? Is he a loving God whose tenderness reaches out to his own? We could multiply these and other questions which arise from this most thought-pro- voking book. We see in a11of these questions, however, the very central question of the meaning of existence itself. If we were to take one word as a symbol for this book it would have to be rhe word "why?" This "why," is no detached "why," concerned JUStwith the metaphysical structure of things and ideas, of values and truth, of appear- ance and reality. It is an intensely personal "why," concerned with the ultimate questions of life, and the dark riddle of existence itself. "... truth is elusive; it is to be sought after." Tbe 28th chapter of Job is placed at the end of a series of discourses between Job and his three friends, and represents a kind of impasse to which the four have been brought. In a flair of literary brilliance rarely equalled in the Old Testament, the poet contrasts the proficiency, ingenuiry and resourcefulness of man in one area of life, with his futility. exasperation, and perplexity in another: "Surely there is a mine of silver/and a place for gold which they refine ... But where shall wisdom be found? / and where is the place of understanding?" The skill of the miner and engineer are contrasted with the frustration of "The ultimate questions will face you iobereoer you turn in man in his search for the answers to life's ultimate ques- your college experience;" tions. Wisdom can not be taken from the earth as mineral wealth can, although it far surpasses it in value. Ultimate ness which causes him to be dissatisfied with the easy truth-Wisdom-seems beyond man's grasp. It is not in answers of his contemporaries. the earth; it is not in the sea. Where then is wisdom to be Also, while the Book of Job is (in the finest sense of found? Job's answer is not so much an answer as it is an the word) a religious book, and while Job's personal affirmation of faith: "God understands the way to it/ seance-c-his commitment-is religious, we ought nor to and he knows its place ... and He said to man'; Behold make the mistake of thinking that Job simply resigned the fear of the lord, that is wisdom;! and to depart himself to religion per se. On the contrary, Job's friends from evil is understanding." Job is saying, among other were devour men who brought to him the standard answers things, that the answers to life's ultimate questions remain which their religious tradition had given them-the easy beyond man, although man is privileged to seek the truth answers Job adamantly refused to accept.
