Student Religious Activities Believing that professional competence is more than scholastic accomplishment, the College of Dentistry provides opportunities of spiritual development within the framework of the academic disciplines. In order that this objective might be realized, the Student Religious Activities of the campus are channeled through the Baptist Student Union organization. A balanced program of religious activities on the campus was maintained as the students sought to plan around the core areas of B.S.U. These areas are Enlistment, Worship, Study, Missions, Evangelism and Christian Fellowship. These core areas were carried out during the past year through the freshman luncheon, Chapel services, personal counseling, religion classes, study groups, social activities and retreats. 108
