Presbyterian Confers
93 Degrees on Sunday
Presbyterian College awarded
four honorary degrees .and 93
baccalaureate degrees Sunday at
its 82nd commencement exercis
es which featured an address
by New York Banker Charles G.
Gambrell
Honorary doctor of divinity de
grees went to three, Presbyterian
ministers: Rev. J. Witherspoon
Dunlap of Darlington, Rev. Jo
seph W. Everett of Rock
and J. Davison Philips of Deca
tur, Ga.
An, honorary doctor of lews de
gree was presented to Mr. Gam-
brell, vice-president of Irving
Trust Company, who addressed
the graduates on “Opportunity
in t a Revolutionary Age.”
Caling the 20th century “an
age of almost universal revolu
tion,” ha died these particular
reasons: 1. .The destructive po
litical revolution that led to World
War II. 2. The constructive revo
lution after the war, .ushered in
by the Marshall Plan, and now
the Common Market pointing to
ward a possible,United States of
Europe. 3. The, exciting new
Amerclan Revolution aimed at
benefitting millions and provid
ing leisure for the masses.
Mr. Gambrell, a native of.Bel
ton, expressed the opinion that
“Communism as a world-wide
revolutionary movement has lost
its .momentum.” In referring to
the possibility of a United States
of Europe, the speaker added
sing,the birth of a new political-
economic unit—the region. In
your lifetime you may see a
United States of Latin America,
a United States of Asia, a Unit
ed States of Africa.”
Mr. Gambrell also pained out:
“Increasingly, your generation is
speaking out for the open door to
opportunity; more and more we
are able to distinguish between
pleas that all are equal, and the
constructive realism of the con
tention that all should be afford
ed equal opportunity.”
Dr. Marshall W. Brown, presi
dent of the college, presided , over
the afternoon commencement pro
gram and Trustee Chairman
Robert M. Vance of Clinton,
awarded degrees.

lingarth presented these student

Martin, in his sermon, pointed
out that the church today has a
battle with the forces of evil on
three fronts — the theological
battle,, the moral battle and the
social battle.
Emphasizing the social battle
as the one on which the church
is most divided, be underscored
three particular problems: 1—
the challenge to win the working
man for Christ, which the Pres
byterian Church is neglecting;
3—the challenge of the Negro
problem and specifically the
needs of those 8,000 to 10,000
Presbyterian Negroes in South
Carolina; and 3—the problem of
Christian unity.
