SA Hosts Dr. McHardy;
Final Lecture Tonight
Folk Festival Opens Friday;
Includes 3 Concerts, Fair
This week the St. Andrews is
privileged to be host to Dr.
William D. McHardy, Regius
Professor of Hebrew at Oxford
University. Dr. McHardy is
presenting a series of three
lectures this week as the first
annual lecturer in the Staley
Distinguished Christian
Scholar Lecture Program. He
is also interested in meeting
on an informal basis with
students and has scheduled
time for these meetings
through tomorrow in the
Dean’s Conference Room. His
third and final lecture at St.
Andrews wUl be given tonight
at 7:30 in the LAA on the topic,
"The Scribe Speaks.”
Dr. McHardy’s first lecture
was the main feature of the
Spring Convocation of the
College, held on Tuesday night
in the gym. The Convocation
also featured performances
by the St. Andrews Brass En
semble and the College Choir.
Dr. Bullock gave the in
vocation, and President Hart
presented a brief eulogy for
Dr. Ansley Moore, first
President of St. Andrews, who
died March 25th. Dr. Doubles
then introduced Dr. McHardy
by explaining the nature of the
Regius professorship, and how
an act of Parliament was
required to appoint Dr.
McHardy to this post normally
reserved for Anglican clergy.
The lecture was titled
“Translators and Critics,”
and in it Dr. McHardy outlined
ttie history of bible translation
and explored some of the
reasons for the production of
the New English Bible, of
®nich he was joint director.
He maintained that the new
work was not intended to
replace the King James Ver
sion familiar to so many, but
was more designed to update
“ and make the Scriptures
more accessible to more
people. Also, he explained how
the new work could benefit
from the three centuries of
biblical research done since
the old version was published
in 1611.
