prevalent rumor that there is soon to
be a development in Ann Arbor which
will comprise dramatic activities in
connection with a chapel. To this he
replied, "The rumor is premature and
overstated. It is a goal to look for-
ward to that we should have a small
chapel which should be a laboratory
in religious experience with as much
freedom of research as a laboratory]
in physics or chemistry. The new!
forms of worship, which would corre-j
spond to the religious aspirations ofI
students, would be worked out there,
largely by themselves. Underneath
the chap'el there would be a research
library containing the choices books
on the matters of religious signifi-
cance, whether in philosophy, psy-
chology, history of religion, compara-
tive religion, church history, art, mu-
sic, poetry or drama. The dramatic
activities referred to would be con-
nected with a dramatic workshop,
underneath the nave of the chapel, in
which fundamental principles and
ideas might be presented, taking dra-
matic form rather than didactic. But
before we can get that far, or justify
the expenditure we shall have to ex-
periment as best we may with the
facilities at hand. All of these activ-
ities would depend on student initia-
tive and control."
Lacks Growth
Lack of growth in relation to the
rest of the world's progress is the
cause given by Thomsen for the loss
of interest on the part of students in
churches. He said that although he
understands the student's attitude, he
is encouraging all students who want
conditions changed to first attempt
this from the inside, instead of the
more popular way of knocking from
the exterior, the. method most stu-
dents are choosing.
"Great changes are already taking
place in the church," continued Thom-
sen, "and many more radical changes
will have to come about. Whatever
reality there is in prayer will have to
take the place of the long meaningless
repitition of words which is now only
too frequently heard from pulpits.
The entire service will be changed to
fit the needs of the people now living;
possibly you will see much more
beauty, color, and music introduced
into church life, and much of the ob-
solete reading give way to meditation
on many of the great writers such as
Ghandi, Mazzint, Tagore, Ruskin, and
Shelley."
Michigan At Beginning r
As far as Michigan is concerned
the new needs of the student Christian
movement are just beginning to take
form. The Student Christian associa-
tion, under the directorship of an
executive committee being appointed
by William D. Brumbaugh, Jr., '28.
president of the organization, will
take action. It is hot expected that
this committee will make any definite
announcement of change of policy un-
til the results of their research has
been fuly discussed, and this will
probably not be until next spring.
