Faculty Conference
Dr. Hazzard Speaks
At Vespers
“You don’t define neighbors,
you make them,” stated Dr. Low
ell Hazzard, professor of the Old
Testament, WeSley Theological
Seminary, Westminister, Mary
land, at the opening Sunday ves
pers at Bennett College Septem
ber 21.
Using the parable of the good
Samaritan as his text, Dr. lifaz-
zard pointed out that rather than
ask, “Who is my neighbor?” the
lawyer should have asked, “How
can I be a neighbor?”
The Old Testament professor
stated that too many people are
content with ethical theori?ing, al
though clianging one’s ideas about
religion does not necessarily make
one more religious.
“We are inclined to think of re
ligion as a way of thinking rather
than a way of acting,” but, he con
tinued, “Things must be detined
in terms of action.”
The speaker, recognizing that
some people are not very recep
tive to assistance, urged the audi
ence to seek opportunities where
neighboring will be permitted.

ening the College Program
through Faculty-StafE Effort,” the
conference explored the possibili
ties of improvement in six core
groups of the instructional pro
gram with stress upon inter divi
sional co-operation.
There was a general agree
ment that students of college age
need not be considered as adoles
cents and that it is the responsibil
ity of the college to teach then,,
how to think.
Greater use of the area of re
creation as an educational experi
ence was another idea advanced.
