RELiGOUS LIFE DEPT.
DEAN R- LELAMD DEFINES THE
RELATION OF RELIGION AND
UNIVERSITY LIFE
According to a recent announcement
this paper will publish In 'each Mon
day's issue a brief statement relating
to the religious life of students. The
university pastors very corially accept
the invitation to assist, in carrying out
this purpose. It might be well in this
flrrft -brief statement to call attention
to the significance of this request.
A university paper reflects the think
ing and attitude of the student body.
The editors must feel that the sub
ject of religion is an interesting topic
for discussion. This recognition of re
ligion as a part of every well ordered
life is not a new thing in university
circles. From the very beginning of
state universities the relation of re
ligion to life has always been recog
nlzed and in these recent years the
subject is not only a matter of aca
demic discussion but vital to the edu
cation of the individual.
Above the platform dt the main as
sembly hall of the University of Iowa
is inscribed this quotation from the
famous ordinance of 1787, "Religion,
morality and knowledge being neces
sary to good government and the bapr.
plness of mankind, schools, and the
means of education shall forever be
encouraged." Our own university char
ter expresses this sentiment in part.
The official seal of the University of
Indiana Js an open Bible; that of the
University of Kansas is a figure of
Moses before' the burning bush with
a Latin inscription meaning "I will see
this great sight why" the bush is not
burned."
Religion has always been recognized
as a necessary part of education in our
colleges and universities. These re
cent years have witnessed an unusual
interest In the subject, not only as a
topic of academic Instruction, but as
a vital matter of personal growth and
development The student enters the
university at an age when sanctions of
religion may seem to lose their power,
when the new life of intellectual free
dom allures him with many tempta
tions, when "the nascent powers of
.manhood produce in body and brain
and heart an almost riotous springtime
of youth and hope." But students are
not unlike the rest of mankind, they
are "incurably" religious.
An evidence of this fact is revealed
in the numerous ways by which the
student is nowadays giving expression
to his individual religious life. Re
cently the Jewish Btudents of our uni
versity planned the organization of a
"Menorah Society" affiliating itBeir
with a naional organization of that
name. Our Catholic students also be
long to a national movement. In theso
recent years the various denomina
tional groups have given expression
to their loyalty to former Ideals and
are active in all sorts of ways look
ing toward the development of indi
vidual students and the expression of
the social and religious spirit.
Careful observers pf student life
havo frequently remarked that both
the university itself and the whole stu
dent body are more naturally religious
than at any previous period in the his
tory of higher education. It is bej
coming a spirit which pervades the
campus. There may be notable ex
ceptions to this statement but on the
whole it is a matter of great gratifi
cation that religion is regarded by the
student as something vital to life and
having Jn It a reality which is indls
pensible to the best development and
the larger usefulness of the educated
man and woman.
