Protestont Student Movement The Protestant Student Movement was begun as a joint project of the San Antonio Council of Churches and the Methodist Church. The Methodists provided the teacher and most of the money. The Council of Churches became the sponsor. The first classes were held in the college. The Methodist Student Center, scene of mid-Week Protestant gatherings, is relatively new to San Antonio College. The move toward establishing the M. S. C. in San Antonio started in 1955 when the Methodists of Texas sent a worker to San Antonio to investigate the possibility of work- ing among students on a college campus. They then took the responsibility of acquiring property and erecting the building pictured here. Officers of the group include Lamar Burgess, president, Hubert Beare jr., vice-presidentg Mary Hernandez, Student Council representativeg Pat Harrison, 1'CPOrt6rg and the Rev. Cole Smith, sponsor. Although it is just one year old, the Methodist Student Center, located on the corner of Dewey and Belknap, has become the gathering place for students of all Protestant demoninations. 150

Guest speakers from different churches are often featured highlights of these meetings.
