The cultivation of individual Christian attitudes and personal convictions is one aim of a college education which is intended to de- velop every phase of the student ' s life. Future church leaders and laymen are enabled to continue their studies of the Scriptures and philosophical thinking from the fundamental knowledge provided in Bible classes. The singing of the great hymns of the church, read- ing of the Scriptures, and prayer in the many reli- gious services instill the desire for worship and per- sonal devotion. Experience gained from cooperation in planning programs, participating in worship services, and dis- cussing personal ideals and convictions will prove invaluable to future service and leadership.
