The Case for Christian Character on This Cam u REV. M. M. PEACE REV SAMUEL B McKINNEY REV TOM Si-MPP Philadelphia, Penn. Seattle Wash Religious Emphasis Week has always been inspiring to the college community because, many times during this week, students as well as the administration receive strength to push forward and attain that goal they have set. The theme tor week was The Case for Chris- tian Character on This Campus. Topics varied daily and seminars were held for an hour in the chapel lounge. During this week, the ministers delivered ser- mons with such soul-stirring messages that the students recognized the elements of truth and turned over new leaves as far as homework and character were concerned. Also as a result ot their messages, the college community re- dedicated itself to the cause and began to work harder. lt was clearly a case for Christian character as students realized from personal contact with great souls that trials and hardships are mere testing grounds and are not meted out on the basis of race, creed, color, age, or national origin. Daily attendance at religious services is part ot the Bishop tradition and, during the observance Nov. T7-22, attendance records were broken. Dean Harry S. Wright and Rev M. M.
