FUNDAMENTALISM.
The Presbyterian Theological Seminary at Princeton has been considered the last redoubt of " Fundamentalism " in religious thinking and teaching in America. It is controlled by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, and its governing board has always stood for repression of any thinking not in accordance with the most rigid Calvinistic orthodoxy. The General Assembly at its last meeting decided to reorganize the governing board of the institution and the new governing board will undoubtedly tolerate different points of view even within the general spirit of " Fundamentalism." Though the break in the ranks is not serious, a certain faction of the professors at Princeton, headed by Dr. Machen, are making it clear that they regard this disposition towards tolerance as endangering the safety of this last citadel of extreme orthodoxy. Not too much importance can be attached to what has actually taken place, but in principle
the event is significant. Ivr. LEE. New York. Wednesday, June 19th.
