Under the theme “The Universe At Its Limits,” 2006 Nobel Laureate in Physics George Smoot, 2004 Nobel Laureate in Physics Frank Wilczek, 1976 Nobel Laure- ate in Physics Samuel Ting, and five other notable speakers addressed such questions as: What is the uni- verse like? What lies beneath the level of atoms that make up the ordi- nary matter that the universe con- tains? What lies beyond our solar system and beyond our galaxy?

Texas Lutheran University, Seguin, broke ground Sept. 28 on athletics facilities that will include a football and track and field stadium, a softball stadium and improvements to the baseball field. The project will mean the TLU’s football team can play on campus for the first time since the

Imagine being dean of a seminary graduate school while helping frame the religious freedom article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), serving as a diplo-
mat to facilitate an end to the Korean War (1953), and working behind the scenes on Paris Peace Talks negotia- tions to end the Vietnam War (1968). David Little, a former professor at Harvard Divinity School, Cambridge, Mass., described the contributions of the late O. Frederick Nolde, a 1923 alumnus and professor of religious education at the Lutheran Theologi- cal Seminary at Philadelphia, in an Oct. 1 lecture at LSTP. Under the title “The Legacy of Ecumenical Protes- tantism,” Little shared how Nolde played a key role in the establishment of the World Council of Churches, founded the WCC Commission of the Churches on International Affairs (nominated for the 1966 Nobel Peace Prize) and worked closely with U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, U.N. General Secretary Dag Ham- marskjold and Eleanor Roosevelt on international concerns of the day.
