The Ivory Tower

Can We Survive the ‘Religious Revival’?

Okay, so there is a religious revival going on at Harvard (and, a fortiori, everywhere else), but is it quite right to call it that without going on to explain what we mean by it? John Mc-Nees, a talented, if eccentric, student of philosophy at Harvard, and an expressive writer, summarizes for the Harvard Crimson the meaning of one aspect of last year’s poll (“Ivory Tower,” January 16 and 30, 1960) on the religious and political attitudes of Harvard students.
