1 64
The self-criticism present i n the Church today is wholesome, said Dr. Roland Bainton March 9 in an interview with Dr. Emmet Eklund, head of the university's religion department. Dr. Bainton, well-known his torian on the life of Martin Luther and the Reformation, said this criticism can lead to extremes, but he thought something positive would emerge. Dr. Bainton, author of "Here I Stand," a biography of Martin Lu ther, addressed two convocations March 10 in Memorial Gymnasium, speaking on "Erasmus and the Liberal Catholic Movement of the Early Sixteenth Century" and "Erasmus and the Protestant Movement." He was a member of the Yale divinity faculty from 1920 to 1962.
