A STABLISHED 1890 C.V Kri A60 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS Vol. XXXIX. No. 71. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1928 EIGHT PAGES HENRY PITT VANDUSEN WILL BE THIRD FALL IS PROFESSOR AT UNION AND NOTED MODERNIST IN RELIGION GRADUATE OF PRINCETON Plans Are Being Made For Spring Convocation Series To Start Late In March Henry Pitt VanDusen, professor at Union theological seminary, and one of the leaders in a group of young men engaged in carrying a modern religious message to stu- dents, will address the third and last convocation of the fall series at 11 o'clock tomorrow in Hill au- ditorium. He has chosen for his subject "The Reasonableness of Religion." VanDusen is known as one of the more modernistic members of, the ministry, and is said to em-3 body in his doctrines several anti- fundamentalist conceptions. At the. time of his ordination several of the old-line clergy raised objec-1 tions, and newspapers featured his; alleged denial of the virgin birth. Followed Buchman At Princeton VanDusen belongeds to a group of insurgents that de- clined invitations to join clubs, classifying them as rubbish, and joined the "Buchmanism" move- ment that gained headway there after the war. Although he later sheared away from Buchman's anti-sex emotion- alism when it grew to fantastic proportions, he was written up in a book of anonymous character sketches as a convert of Buchman. He is identified with "Erd" Harris,' "Sam" Schumacher, and other1 young men well-known in the East for their Christian influence among preparatory schools and colleges, all of whom followed Buchman for a while and then re- pudiated the sect when it outgrew the bounds of reason. Has Published Book VanDusen is the author of a widely read book entitled "In Quest of Life's Meaning." After tomorrow's convocation no' more will be held until the end of March when the spring series is scheduled to start. Attempts are now under way to secure Dean Charles, R. Brown, retired dean of Yale Divinity school, and Hugh Black, professor of practical theo- logy at Union theological semi- nary, for the spring series.
