SISTER MARIA Theology FATHER JOHN SCHANZ Theology Theology, Philosophy and Psychology A welcome addition to this division was Father Julian Burt, O.S.B., from Belmont Abbey. A new resident professor, he compiled a simplified The- odicy text for his class. In order to deepen the students' conception of Philosophy, he substituted a course in Epistemology for Philosophy Readings. The theology department offered a one-credit course, The Theology of Grace, taught by Sister Maria. It dealt with the nature of actual and sanctifying grace. In conjunction with their conducted tour of Warren State Hospital for the Mentally Ill, the students of Abnormal Psychology, under the direction of Dr. John A. Donatelli, appealed once again to the student body to aid these afllicted persons both by prayer and by donating material goods for their benefit.
