DA.ILY O'FFICIAL B ULLETI N :?? ~ ~ : v~:.~ By STEVEN HALLER )r. Henry P. Van Dusen, Presi- it of the Union Theological ninary in New York, spoke Sa- day about his personal impres- n on "Asia, Africa and the urches." )r. Van Dusen, who has traveled ensively throughout the world general and Asia and Africa in ticular, began by attacking the reotyped impression of the ristian missionary as a preach- going to Africa "to reform the ,then savages." 'his idea deserves to be rele- ed to the attics of our minds," said. nstead we should think of the ristian World Mission as simi- to the Church in America but with less resources, Dr. Van Du- sen noted. The typical Christian mission in these areas is an edu- cational system, a medical system and a social services system inte- grated into one body and trans- ported abroad. Christian World Mission Dr. Van Dusen went on to note that the Christian World Mission in Asia and Africa has pioneered in the relief of such widespread problems as leprosy. In some parts of Asia today, there is one doctor for every million people-and that one doctor is a Christian mis- sionary.._ But medicine is not the only contribution of the Christian World Mission. For every hospital in Asia and Africa there are 20 seminary President Explains 1eligions Place in Education Dr. Henry P. Van Dusen, Presi- dent of the Union Theological Seminary in New York, stated Saturday that the place of religion in higher education should be two- fold. First, all education should have "an enveloping ;orientation of the ultimate ground of truth which is God," Dr. Van Dusen said. Second, religion should be a sub- ject of much inquisitiveness. There should be an "exacting" depart- ment of religion fully equal to the other departments in a, univer- sity. Furthermore, any university which does not have such a de- partment of religion is "an emas- culated university." Religious in- struction at the university level should be offered but not re- quired. Dr. Van Dusen added that to his knowledge the only state that forbids such religious instruction is Washington. Principles of Ecumenicity Dr. Van Dusen, who is a leader in the current Ecumenical move- ment, went on to explain tihe principles of ecumenicity. The word itselfris derived fromthe Greek for "from all the world," he explained. In feudal times, the term "ecumenical" was applied to conferences of bishops from all the world. Recently, however, a new mean- ing has been ascribed tQ ecumeni- city, that of "Christian unity." The Ecumenical Reformation is just as radical and as influential as was the Protestant Reforma- tion, Dr. Van Dusen said. There are at least 250 different Council Views Proposed Gift From Seniors denominations of the Christian religion, all tragically disunified, he noted. The object of the Ecu- menical movement is not neces- sarily to create one institution which would be the Protestant equivalent of the Roman Catholic Church. However, ideally all of these denominations should be closer to one another; they should be aspects of one Church of Christ, he explained. Missionary Movement The Christian missionary move- ment facilitated the beginnings of a plan for world unity among the denominations of the Chris- tian Church, Dr. Van Dusen said. However, the modern Ecumenical movement actually originated as the result of a conference which took place in Edinburgh in 1910. The Ecumenical movement is not as steadily obstructed as was the Protestant Reformation, he added; but there is still opposition from sheer tradition and prejudice, as well as what Dr. Van Dusen described as "theological lethargy." schools. In Nigeria, for example, it seems to the casual observer that there are only two types of buildings-native huts and Chris- tian schools. Speaking further about the Christian World Mission, Dr. Van Dusen said that there is no or- ganized opposition to it except from Islam and Buddhist groups which resent the Mission's intru- sion into their domains. Present Situations The workers of the Christian World Mission go out under the auspices of their own denomina- tions and are paid by them, ex- cept on a united mission on be- half of two or more denomina- tions, which is rather uncommon. Dr. Van Dusen went on to dis- cuss the dominant situation in Asia and Africa today as a result of the Christian World Mission. In Asia two impressions imme- diately stand out, he said. One is that there has been an un- mistakable improvement in the health and happiness of the people there. The second is that there has also come about more econom- ic prosperity, political viability and hopefulness among the people. In Africa "the farther north you go, the brighter the sun shines," Dr. Van Dusen explained. Only one generalization can be made-that nobody can predict the future of Africa, but it will be determined "by Africans and Af- ricans only." Future Leaders- In conclusion, Dr. Van Dusen said that it was questionable whether the Church today is un- dergoing a "recession"; but when- ever such is the case, the churches that suffer most are those which are oldest and the most firmly rooted in tradition. "Many of the religious leaders of tomorrow will come from the youngest Christian churches of Asia and Africa, and I am con- vinced that they are not unready for that role," he commented. , Dr. Van Dusen's lecture was sponsored by the Protestant Foun- dation for International Students.

However, if a man can meet our quality standards and feels that he is really just beginning to learn ... and if he is ready to launch his career where learning is an important part of the job and where gradu- ate-level training on and off the job is encour- aged - we want and need him. At Western Electric, in addition to the nor- mal learning-while-doing, engineers are en- couraged to move ahead in their fields by sever- al types of educational programs. Western maintains its own full-time graduate engineer- ing training program, seven formal manage- ment courses, and a tuition refund plan' for out-of-hours college study. This learning atmosphere is just one reason %x n ~ana..n~at nW ieSnrn R ttrn scn efrn, - to Western Electric at one of the best times in the company's history. In the management area alone, several thousand supervisory jobs are expected to open up to W.E. people within the next 10 years. And our work of building communications equipment and systems be- comes increasingly challenging and important as the communications needs of our nation and the world continue to increase. Challenging opportunities exist now at Western Electric for electrical, mechanical, industrial, and chemi- cal engineers, as well as physical science, liberal arts, and business maors. All qualified applicants will re- ceive careful consideration for employment without regard to race, creed, color or national origin.
