beyond any other country the
great sanctuary within which
race hatred has been unable to
live."
Other speakers at the conclud-
ing sessions also began to touch
on the theMe which might have
seemed the essence of the Insti-
tute: the existence of inter-re-
ligious friction and th methods
for dealing with it.
Sister Mary de Lourdes of St.
Joseph's College at West Hart-
ford, Conn. described intolerance
as a health and medical problem,
saying that combating of preju-
dice is a task for the home and
if the parents fail there, it is
difficult for the community to do
better. The same attitude was
taken by Dr. David M. Levy, New
York phychiatrist, who viewed
intolerance from the psychiatric
point of view, saying that those
who harbor prejudice have their
personalities "wrecked".
Tolerance in Schools
At a previous session, the
part that schools play in develop-
ing an understanding of Ameri-
can principles was touched upon
by Robert F. Gordon of the Na-
tional Urban League, Helen Kelly
of the Newman Federation and
Henry Rabin of the Hillel Found-
ation. Mr. Gordon deplored dis-
crimination against the Negro in
education and employment. Miss
Kelly, asking for more religious
content in the schools, was sec-
onded by Mr. Rabin, who said:
"We should be taught in the
schools of the contributions of
each racial and religious group
to the upbuilding of America."
That particular session was
presided over by Nelson Rocke-
feller, co-ordinator of inter-
American relations, who led in
a symposium on economic and
cultural relations between North
and South America. He led off
by saying that if America is to
give the world leadership, "first
we must overcome those misun-
derstandings among ourselves
due to our mutual ignorance."
Other notable participants in
the Institute who dealt more or
less with issues directly related
to the purpose of the National
Conference included Catholic Co-
Chairman Carlton J. H. Hayes,
Columbia University history pro-
fessor, who indicated that Amer-
ica might have to go to war to
protect the values of American
life as they are threatened by
the forces abroad ; Dr. Paul Klap-
pit., president of Queens College,
New York, who admitted that
there is a "discouraging gap"
between the ultimate aim of
democracy to refine human rela-
tions and the actual achievement
in that direction.
