Kaufman, Edmund G. (Ed G. Kaufman)
Teil vonHarold Stauffer Bender Papers
Kaufman (1891-1980), reared in the Swiss-Volhynian community at Moundridge, Kansas, and a General Conference Mennonite, was a progressive-minded missionary in China early in his adult life and later a long-time president of Bethel College in Kansas. [For biography, see GAMEO and a book by James C. Juhnke, Creative Crusade.] (Kaufman and his wife Hazel Dester Kaufman were also parents of Mennonite and Harvard theologian Gordon Kaufman.) As the biographical sketch in GAMEO states, Mennonite Fundamentalists and traditionalists criticized Kaufman's liberal ideas, his studies at the University of Chicago, and the assumptions of human progress in his publications, such as his PhD dissertation, The Development of the Missionary and Philanthropic Interest among the Mennonites of North America." The letters in this folder are largely about that dissertation and whether the MC Mennonite publishing house might publish or print it.

Bender wrote that he had read it and was sending six typed pages of suggestions [copy attached here]; among other remarks, Bender doubted that Kaufman's "sociological thesis" gave a complete analysis. Correspondence follows establishing terms by which to publish the work with a subsidy from the General Conference Mennonites' mission board.
