The Canterbury Club, through lectures, discussions, and social activities, aims to encourage fellowship and an awareness of their religion among Episcopal students. Membership is open to all members of the University community. University Christian Association aims to promote fellowship among all those mem- bers of the University community who de- sire to understand the Christian faith and live the Christian life. An active group holds discussion groups, dances and other social events. There is an open house meeting every Thursday in Earl Hall. Newman Club brings together Catholic students in an informal relationship. Monthly meetings feature talks on religious topics, and every day there are opportuni- ties for meditation and prayer with other members of the group. Religious experi- ences are thus enhanced because they are shared with one ' s friends. On the lighter side are the socials held every week at Earl Hall, the luncheons, dances, and par- ties given throughout the year.

Joyce Hilleboe. Chairman, lntertaith Council Earl Hall, the center of campus spiritual activities, sponsors a religious organization for almost every major faith. The clubs aim at promoting friendship and fellowship among their members, and more important, they encourage a deeper understanding and awareness of religion as a dynamic factor in the lives of young people. The Interfaith Council coordinates the activities of the religious clubs and supple- ments them with activities of its own. Fore- most of these is the sponsori ng of a meeting for devotion and meditation every Thurs- day noon. These meetings are followed by lunch and discussion. Menorah aims to make Jewish students aware of their common cultural heritage, and to promote understanding and con- structive action concerning problems of the group in relation to world affairs, through a program of lectures, open house, and social activities. The Lutheran Club offers the Lutheran students of the university an opportunity to become acquainted with one another and with their religions through discussion and social meetings. The Barnard Com- mittee exists to introduce Barnard students to Lutheran Club activities. Religious Activities Top: Menorah; Bottom: Lutheran Club 16
