Dunster Wins As Dean Sperry Defines Types Of Beligious

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In an Adams-Dunster debate last night on the latter's home ground, Dean Sperry declared that there are two fundamental types of religious groups: the prophetic, these who believe in the reality of time, and the mystic, those who look to the eternal life beyond time.

Dunster House, represented by Frank X. White '41 and Dan R. Crusius '41, successfully upheld the social gospel against the Adams team of Bernard J. McMahon '41 and John F. Ambrose '41.
