Fourteen members of the Divinity School faculty announced yesterday that they are "associating themselves" with the leaders of the Boston school boycott. The faculty group, which is headed by Samuel H. Miller, Dean of the Divinity School, will thus be open to prosecution if state authorities take legal action against the boycott.
At its regular meeting last Friday, the Divinity School faculty voted unanimously to "urge all students and each other to participate, insofar as they can, in the Freedom Stay-Out next Wednesday."
A spokesman for an ad hoc "Divinity School Stay-Out Committee" said last night that his group expects "about 50 per cent" of Divinity School classes to be cancelled Wednesday.
Besides Dean Miller, the faculty group supporting the boycott includes: George H. Williams, professor of Church History; James Luther Adams, professor of Ethics: George Ernest Wright, professor of Old Testament; and James Harry Cotton, professor of Church.
Also, J. Lawrence Burkholder, professor of Church; Gordon D. Kaufman, professor of Theology; Richard R. Nlebubr '47, professor of Theology; Frederick C. Packard '20. professor of Public Speaking; and Charles P. Price '41, University Preacher.
Also, Herbert Richardson, instructor in Theology; John B. Carman, assistant professor of World Religions; Max L. Stackhouse, teaching fellow in Ethics: and William R. Voelkel, teaching fellow in Theology.
