GOD AND MAN AT YALE

GOD AND MAN AT YALE
BY William F. Buckley, jr.
Henry Regnery Co., $780,
On the 250th anniversary of
its founding. Yale finds itself
the target Of a hroadside from
one of its sons.
William F. Buckley. a conten-
tious graduate of the class of
so, charges that his alma mater,
which was founded to educate
ministers. is now. to all intents
and purposes, Goddess; or, as
he puts it, that "the institution
that derives its moral and finan-
cial support from Christian in
dividualists then addresses itself
to the task Of persuading the
sons Of these supporters to be
atheistic socialists"
Now this is strong language.
Mr.. Buckley, however, makes
out what looks like a pretty good
case for his accusations. He
carefully reviews the situation
in the departments of religion
and sociology. where he finds a
general average on the faculty
of outspoken atheists and quiet
Christians. He bases his points
against the economics depart
ment largely on quotations from
textbooks. The extracts do add
up to an overwhelming balance
for collectivism.
All this is quite lively and
stimulating, even II Mr.. Buck
ley's own political convictions
appear to be on a line with
Senator Wherry's. 1t is when he
goes into the matter of aca-
demic freedom, which he re-
CARDS as another way Of de-
scribing educational laissez-
faire," that he becomes pedanti'
and hair-splitting. But he
should still succeed in his
avowed goal Of stirring up the
alumni Of the college.

AWAKENING: THE WORLD
AT MID-CENTURY
BY Erwin D. Canham. fLong-
mans, Green & Co.; s2.75)
Reviewed by Cospor Names
There has probably been no
so years in the history of man
kind when more changes in the
world. exterior and within the
mind Of man, have taken place
than in the period 1900 to 1850.
To attempt to trace the ma jor
changes, and the reasons for
them. is the ambitious effort of
this short book. There are
chapters on materialism, the
rise Of women as a voting and
working factor. the advances of
science, the new paths art and
literature have taken and other
phenomena many Of US today
take for granted but at which
our srandfathers would be
aStonished.
On the Affirmative side. the
chapters shave an impetus in
stimulating the reader to think
more specifically about the tre-
mendous physical, mental and
moral changes the half-century
has brought. Negatively, the
volume suffers from a superficial
treatment that a small book
treating an extensive field in
herently must contain. But de-
spite that defect, the volume has
value by pointing signboards for
those interested in pursuing par
ticular avenues In further de-
tail.
The author is editor Of the

feel that "Tracy's Tiger" Is a
flawless thing of its kind. The
little story Is made to order for
Mr.. Saroyan's peculiar talents.
1t Is not interrupted by a single
aside. 1t is a fantasy of classic
simplicity and 1t stirs in its swift
passage q strange charm.

Novelist Depicts
Romance in Italy

ROMANCE
BY Natalie Anderson Scott.
(Dutton;; 49,
Mrs. Scott has undeniable
gifts as a novelist. In "The
Story Of Mrs. Murphy" she
gave a merciless account Of the
disintegration Of an alcoholic.
Her last novel. THE Husband"

England in Colonial times, deal
ing with a dark character
masked as a righteous man.
Unfortunately her new novel
fails in its purpose.

ing in Italy for the wife of a
heroic Englishman whom the
Nazis tried to break and
couldn't and left a hopeless
cripple. The novelist obviously
is patterned after q certain
writer, a realist, but he never
seems real. He gives the i'm
preston Of not caring much
what happens, Of being only
moderately interested in his
paramour. She is referred to
throughout the book as Mrs.
johnson, and If we ever learn
her first name 1t is forgotten.
1t is an ardent romance only
because the author tells us so;
1t is never felt. Not enough
happens for q full-length novel
and Mrs. Scott makes up for
that by describing each scene in
great detail. The ending hasn't
the least feeling Of having been
inevitable. An unhappy ending
can be as arbitrary and unper-
suasive as the required close
OF slick-magizine story.
