Enthusiasm of that sort rarely is seen in Christendom, even in our churches. I can say without qualification that a vital Christian­ ity in terms of the world's need and the individual's relationship to that need will not go without re­ sponse from our student population. I am thrilled to find this mood in the student world today. In Stetson Chapel students from nineteen different denominations worship together. All major Pro­ testant groups are in this number, with Methodists, Baptists, a n d Presbyterians leading the list in the order named. There is also a fine group of Roman Catholic students and an equally fine group of Jewish students. In order to promote a sympathetic understanding of the various religious positions repre­ sented in our student body, we pre­ sent in chapel services and in cam­ pus meetings representative speakers from as many of our constituent groups as possible.
