StITTYAV, UtA lk 2, 1931 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Faculty, Students, Citizens to Join in Religious Emphasi s Week. CHURCHES TO GIVE SPECIAL SRIE Noted Divine to Lead Discussion Held in Connection With Religious Program. TO DISCUSS PROBLEMS Bursley, Edmonson, Duffendack Commend Plan Which Goes Into Effect Today. Students of the University, mern- bers of the faculty, and the citizens of Ann Arbor will join today in the first meetings of Religious Empha- sis week which will continue until Saturday. Most of the church serv- ices in the city today are being held in conjunction witn the observance, especially the young people's meet- ings in the various student church centers. During the week, an attempt will be made to combine the members of all the various creeds and churches represented in the Uni- versity and in the city on the com- mon basis of a searching analysis into the ,religious problems of the day especially as they concern the young people and the students. Leaders Distinguished. Liberal leaders representing all the denominations of the day have been secured to lead the discussion groups and the devotional meet- ings for the period. The list of men who will be in the city for the week includes a large number who are distinguished as religious leaders, as thinkers in connection with the modern problems, and many of them as writers and authors of books in various fields. The project has, since its incep- tion, received the unlimited support of the faculty of the University , . who have combined in expressing their entire approval of the period and its purposes. In this connection, Joseph A. : Lursley, dean of students, stated, "I feel that this program for the Re- ligious Emphasis week cannot help having good results. The very fact that all the religious interests are combining in this effort and that it has received the support of a con- siderable body of students makes it significant and insures its sue- cess." Edmonson Gives Support. Dean J. B. Edmondson, of the School of Education, added his sup- port to the project and said, "The plans for Religious Emphasis week make a strong appeal to me. The fact that all of the religious groups are supporting the plans gives evi- dence of a fine cooperative spirit. It is my prediction that students and faculty members will give the pro- gram a degree of support that will help to make it a real factor in the life of the University." "It gives an opportunity for us to clarify our minds on some questions of human experience that are ex- cluded from our curricula," Prof. Ora S. Duffendack, of the physics] department, said. "A fine spirit of tolerance is implied in that each group leaves to the others the car- rying out of the purpose of the Mission according to its own plane and practices." Ruthven Commends President Alexander G r a n t Ruthven has been enthsuiastic in his support of the Religious Emphasis week plan ever since its first proposal and has added his confirnia.,oni of the plan to the statements of the other members oi1 the faculty. "The inaug;uration of Religious Ernphasis weeii," he statzd, "is a projcet cf significance in the life of the University. Persons outside of the University, con- fusedby the apparentnessoe the more material aspects of col- lege life, are inclined to over- look the fact that the religious growth of the student is going steadily forward, sometimes even without his full knowledge. A week of concentration on spiri- tual values cannot fail to profit each of us." President Ruthven will be pre- sent at an informal reception for the visiting leaders at 4 o'clock this afternoon in the League. Students and faculty members will have the opportunity of be- coining acguainted with the men who will lead the programs dur- ing the next week. (!l t I j t , ] ( i R .
