BOSTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY:
PAUL AND AUBURN CARR SCHOLARSHIP IN SCIENCE AND RELIGION
The Paul and Auburn Carr
Scholarship Fund in Science and Religion is established at the Boston
University School of Theology by Dr. Paul H. Carr as a tribute to his father,
Reverend Auburn J. Carr (1905-1984),
a Methodist minister who graduated from the School of
Theology in 1932. His MA thesis was “The Technique of Jesus in the Cure of
Souls.” Reverend Carr's first pastorates were in Milton, Cabot, and Richford, Vermont, then
in Ipswich, Woburn, and Milton,
Massachusetts. Paul H. Carr, Ph. D.
physics, led the Component Technology Branch of the Air Force Research
Laboratory in Bedford, Massachusetts, from 1967 to 1995, and
taught science and religion in the University of Massachusetts- Lowell
Philosophy Department from 1998 to 2000.
The Paul and Auburn Carr Scholarship
Fund in Science and Religion shall be a permanently endowed fund, the income of
which shall provide annual scholarship awards to one or more graduate students
enrolled at the School of Theology who are studying science and religion. In
any year in which there is unexpended income, it will be returned to principal
or accumulated for future use. Recipients shall be selected by the Dean of the
School of Theology, in consultation with the Director of the Graduate Program
in Religion and Sciences and Dr. Paul Carr during his lifetime. If in the
judgment of Boston University it has become, or is likely to become, impossible
or impracticable to accomplish the purposes of the fund, the University in its
discretion may amend the restrictions on the fund in such manner as the University
determines will most effectively accomplish the donor's objectives.

.Rev. Auburn Jewett Carr, A.B., A.M., S.T.B.
As we pause before Thee in quietness and confidence,
We marvel at all the divine-human ways a person develops.
Each one of us gives thanks for the joy of being a person,
And for the place given us through creation for health and energy.
We offer praise for the gift of mind and spirit,
Which gives us knowledge of Thee and ourselves.
EXCERPT FROM REV. AUBURN J. CARR'S LETTER TO HIS FATHER, IRVING H. CARR, 11 MARCH 1947.
