12 FRATERNITY 10. The parolee status of the Hungarian is one of the major obstacles to his effective early integration. Reports from all over the country point out the need for an adjustment of their status to that of permanently admitted immigrants so as to provide the refugee with a sense of security and permanence on which he can build his new life. 11. The outstanding problem categories in the area of adjustment were the problems of separated families and the unaccompanied youth. The suddenness of the emergency resulted in serious family sparations. These caused major tensions and concern. The unaccompanied youth, removed from the controls of the family and their home communities, have in some cases presented special problems growing largely out of the lack of family control and understanding of a free society. 12. The press of America was a major factor in arousing sympathy and interest in the refugees. The study shows clearly that progress is being made and that in due time with the continual concern of the American community and organizations the Hungarians will be an integral part of American life. Both the American Immigration Conference and the National Council on Naturalization and Citizenship are composed of all the major national and local organizations having experience and concern with the fields of immigration and naturalization. REV. L. HARANGI RECEIVES Ph. D. DEGREE Rev. László Harangi, pastor of the First Hungarian Reformed Church in Pittsburgh, Pa., and president of the American Hungarian Reformed Ministerial Association, has been awarded the Dictor’s Degree of Philosophy by the University of Pittsburgh. The title of his thesis: “Some Philosophical Aspects of Cosmology.” Dr. Harangi’s academic career is high above the average. Having received the Reformed Minister’s Diploma at Sárospatak, Hungary, with high honors, he attended the world famous University at Cambridge, England. While in Cambridge he was offered a scholarship by Princeton (N. J.) University, where he acquired his Master’s Degree. In 1937 Rev. Harangi returned to his native land, Hungary, where he continued his scholastic studies at the University of Budapest. In 1947 he again came to the United States to study at Yale on a scholarship. Six years ago he began his studies on modern philosophical thinking and the cosmological significance of the new findings in nuclear physics. His dissertation deals with the aspects of scientific and philosophical cosmology, such as space, time, space-time continuum, motion, matter, energy, creation, life, man and God. Rev. Harangi’s dissertation has a special significance on account of its timeliness, and as such, it has been a real contribution to this very up-to-date subject. The whole dissertation has been microfilmed and distributed among the universities. Rev. Aaron Elek
