Each Sunday was a respite, a day of rest and worship, for here in church was the real center of religious life. The College Church School and both the church and Sunday School facilities of the local churches, served the students ' worship needs. The family of Manchester comes from many denominational backgrounds, with wide and varied views. But at MC, each follows the way of his choosing, each was encour- aged to build life about the church and take religious ex- periences into daily activities.

■ : » ■ I As a Christian college Man- chester centers its activities and efforts around Christian ideals and practices. Each Wednesday throughout the year all the stu- dents and faculty meet in the chapel to worship together, and, on Monday and Friday, enjoy educational and enter- taining programs. Across the chapel stage this year walked some of the world ' s most inter- esting people, some of the most famous of our contemporaries. Bob Richards, Elton Trueblood, Dr. Ira Moomaw, Andrew Cor- dier are only a few of the many who were in chapel. Some of the most significant experiences in their lives were in the chapel services which the students performed them- selves. Here was a center of stu- dent life as they sought and began it at Manchester.

In the hurry and bustle of the academic life, the opportunities for the scholars to get to- gether three times a day for their repast was a welcomed and cherished institution. For some it was the family-style table in the dining hall, for others, the casual cafeteria-style of the Oaks, or perhaps a local restaurant. But eating, and the fellowship that went with it, occupied a large and pleasant part of their time.
