■ Sir,—lndoctrination seems merely a part of teaching, the chief part, of course, in the opinion of the theologian. Teaching covers both theory and prac- . tlce. Take two subjects, worlds apart: , chemistry'. and theology. Chemistry - consists mainly of facts with little n theory. While theology is. all theory and;no facts. A college Instituting a chair of .theology is merely throwing a sop to Cerberus, the unthinking church ;■ member. It sputs the studentlife into irreconcilable naturalism and mystlI strongly hope that the postwar world will be naturalistic, for the present “ghastly state” is* the fruit, the'last let us hope,.of antiquated theology.—Yours, etc., THIRD GRADUATE. June 18,1941.
