Reorganization of Seminary
Boards includes DoCtri-
nal Issue, He Says.
pr the Associated Press.


PRINCETON. N. j., April 2a.--The
statement of Or. Charles r. Erdman
that no doctrinal issue was included In
the proposed reorganization of the gov
erning bodies of the theological semi
nary of the Presbyterian Church at
Princeton University, was criticized yes
terday by DR.. j. Gresham Machen,
leader Of a faction opposed 10 the
change and assistant professor Of New
Testament literature and exegesis at
the seminary.
TO say that no doctrinal issue is In
volyed In the proposed reorganization Is
to insult the intelligence Of the church, y
he said.
Modernists and conservatives both
know, he asserted, that the conserva-
tive and evangelical character of the
seminary has been due simply to the
conservative majority in the board OF
directors.
IF that body Is destroyed, we shall
have at Princeton new institution OF
a radically different type" he declared
and added Such an action Is obviously
unjust"
The plan of reorganization that will
be submitted to the i40th General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church
at its convention next month calls for
the elimination OF the present govern
ing bodies, the board OF directors and
board OF trustees.
In place of these bodies n board
composed Of 80 members would be
chosen Of which one-third would be
taken from each OF the present boards
and the remaining number would be
elected from the outside.
IF the conservatives or evangelieals
are 10 be tolerated in the Presbyterian
Church at ALL" DR. Machen said, they
ought TO be allowed to have at least one
seminary that clearly and unequivocaily
represents their views"
