Trustees Approve Formation
Of New LA Chair of Religion
The Board of Trustees has
approved the establishment of
a chair of religion within the
College of the Liberal Arts.
The chair will be filled as
soon as a qualified professor
of religion is found.
At present many courses con
cerned with religion are offered
in departments such as English
literature, psychology, philoso
phy, and sociology. These courses
would not be brought into a sin
glet administrative unit under the
chair of religion.
According to .a faculty commit

to investigate the 'possibilities of

the proposed chair, decentraliza
tion of these courses has its ad
vantages.
Introduction of New Curricula
The purpose of the chair would
be to introduce new curricula and
to coordinate related courses in
other departments. The professor
of religion would be expected to
study courses now offered in re
ligion, to recommend additional
courses, mergers, or deletions,
and to develop a coherent pro
gram in religion.
The faculty committee feels
that the study of religion should
be conducted with particular at
tention to the relationship be
tween religion and psychology,
literature, law, science, philoso
phy, etc. The committee also feels
that the instruction of religion

should not be limited to any one
|of the religions, but should in
clude all significant religions.
Offered for Intellectual Content
The chair of religion will offer
courses to students for the intel
lectual content, not for evangeli
cal purposes.
Proposals for an academic pro
gram in religion were considered
by the late Dr. Hetzel and the
jtate Judge Mdholland. Dr. Milton
S. Eisenhower, while president of
the University, instituted a search
for qualified candidates to fill the
chair as professor of religion.
Areas to be Considered
The following areas will be
considered for the content of the
program of education in religion.
