In the post that started this discussion, was the question:
Is there any accountability by Gettysburg College to the tradition which established it, or is it no longer a Lutheran institution of higher learning?
I graduated from Gettysburg College in '66.

The Rev. Dr. Joseph A. Donnella II serves as college chaplain. (

Annually, the president sends out "season's greetings" rather than being so un-PC as to mention
Christmas.
