Why did John write a Gospel? Why is the Gospel of John so different from those of Matthew, Mark and Luke? James Barker, visiting assis- tant professor of religion, argued in his Luther College Religion Forum lecture that John knew the earlier Gospels, disagreed with parts of them, and wrote his own to correct the record. Before joining Luther’s religion department, Barker taught at Roanoke College, Salem, Va.
As President Barack Obama’s admin- istration considered whether tuition, graduation rates, and the debt and earnings of graduates should affect the amount of federal financial aid provided to students at colleges, Pay- Scale released its 2013-14 College Salary Report. In that report, salaries of almuni at Wagner College, Staten Island, N.Y., ranked in the top 6 per- cent (59 on a list of 1,016 schools) among graduates of American col- leges and universities. The report was based on a nationwide survey of 1.4 million full-time employees in civilian jobs with bachelor’s degrees.
Speaking of the Obama administra- tion’s proposal to evaluate colleges by alumni salaries, Gettysburg [Pa.] College President Janet Morgan Riggs wrote in an editorial for The Huffington Post: “The irony hit me immediately. [A few months earlier] President Obama recognized Gettys- burg College and four other higher education institutions as national models for our commitment to civic engagement and community service. Does it really make sense to measure the value of a college by the income of its graduates? … While many of our students go on to lucrative careers, many of them also pursue careers in public service—they join the Peace Corps, they become edu- cators, they work in nonprofits. And we consider them to be successful.
