A small, informal conference of veteran U. S. Peace Corps
Volunteers at Pendle Hill, Pennsylvania, in December of this year
provided the main source for the illuminating article by Lawrence
Howard and Paul Hare. In 1961-63, the Philippines saw the largest
single concentration of Peace Corps Volunteers—and more than half
of the returnees present at the conference were from the Philippine
Project.

We are pleased to republish another fine article by Mr. William
Henry Scott. Though not professionally an anthropologist, Mr. Scott
has earned a well-deserved reputation as an authority on the life
and culture of Mountain Province, particularly in the Bontoe area.
His article “Boyhood in Sagada” is reprinted with permission from
the July 1958 issue of Anthropological Quarterly.

My “Scripture and Tradition: Trends in Protestant Theology
Teday” is a slightly expanded (to include the July Montreal Faith and
Order discussions) version of a paper prepared for the Annual Meet-
ing of the Philippine Theological Society which met at St. Andrew’s
Theological Seminary in Quezon City in May of this year. Father H.
Ellsworth Chandlee, of the St. Andrew’s faculty, substantially ex-
panded on the theme of the paper and it is a privilege to publish his
comments in these pages.

The Silliman Journal.sees itself as a “Quarterly devoted to dis-
cussion and investigation in the humanities and the sciences”. Just
how well the Jowrnal has lived up to that image of itself can be seen
in the Decennial Index painstakingly prepared by Mr. Eliseo P.
Bafias of the Library staff. We are grateful to Mr. Bafias for this
service which should prove a real boon to scholars in locating the
valuable studies published in the first decade of the Journal’s exis-
tence.

‘We would like to have presented a bound set of ten volumes of
the Silliman Journal to Dr. James W. Chapman, long-time distin-
guished member of the University faculty. whose name honors the
Research Foundation which has helped finance the Journal for the
past ten years. Unfortunately, Dr. Chapman, who with Mrs. Chap-
man retired from Silliman in 1950, was accidentally killed near his
home in SaneMateo, California, in February of 1964, before this issue
went to press.
