Dartmouth's Course

Dartmouth College announced a new course--comparative religion. Many another college has a similar course, often disguised as history of philosophy, sometimes entitled as at Dartmouth. What was striking about the Dartmouth announcement was the teacher designated. He is Dr. S. L. Joshi, native of India, graduate of a Mohammedan university, postgraduate student in England, Columbia University, Union Theological Seminary. Lately he has been on the staff of the University of Colorado. He will instruct Dartmouth men in Brahmanism, Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Islamism, recognizing religion as a central factor in human development, presumably conducting a comparative examination with cultural detachment rare among less widely traveled professors.
