Students are also faced with utilizing all possibilities for creativity within the limits of practicality, an important lesson to be learned by members of all societies.

In Religion Although Ohio Wesleyan is a Methodist-related school, and all of its students are required to enroll in a basic religion course, individuals are free to accept and to practice their religious beliefs as they understand them. Many students take an active part in the work of the Delaware churches and often pre-theological majors become student pastors or assistant pastors there. The Department of Religion, in coordination with the Director of Religious Activities, attempts to furnish many occasions for students to examine all faiths and to make beginnings toward formulating meaningful concepts of their own. However, no efforts are made to pressure students into reaching conclusions, but only to open channels for thought, believing that in this, as in any society, the ultimate determinant of religious convictions must be the individual. The Memorial Union chapel is always open for meditation and prayer. 24
