Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Princeton Seminary Bulletin, Vol. 52: May, 1959 In 1929, when the writer became a member of the Department of Oriental Languages and Literatures at Princeton University, some of his colleagues in a supercilious sense occasionally referred to the Seminary as a medieval institution with no interest in scientific scholarship. Throughout his career in Princeton he remained a member of both faculties and had the great personal satisfaction of observing a marked change in the attitude of his University colleagues toward the Seminary. This has been due in a marked degree to the scholarship Of our President. This furthermore in concrete fashion is manifested in the fact that since 1941 Dr. Mackay has been a member of the Advisory Council of the Department of Philosophy of the University. Before returning in 1932 to the United States, the land in which he reached the climax of his career, his eminence in philosophy was recognized in Peru, where in 1925 he was elected to the chair of Philosophy in the University of San Marcos, Lima. It cannot be gainsaid that a professor in a theological seminary has a sacred calling to make original contributions to the literature of his special field, and in this respect Dr. Mackay has continued his interest in things intellectual in spite of the multiplicity of his administrative duties. In a thesis written in 1958 by the Reverend Stanton R. Wilson for the degree of th.m., sixteen typewritten pages are devoted to listing the literary products of Dr. Mackay. Besides his numerous articles in various learned jour mals and his personal messages in The Princeton Seminary Bulletin he is the author of the following books: Mas yo os Digo; El Sentido de la Vida; That Other America; A Preface to Christian Theology; Heritage and Destiny; Christianity on the Frontier.
