The assertion that Denison University is a Christian college is a declaration of purpose. To be Christian a college should seek the following: To foster in each student ethical and spiritual qualities; To integrate each personality around Christian principles and ideals; To stimulate a fearless and untiring search for truth; To develop capacity and purpose for creative social and religious living; To cultivate adherence to the highest ethical standards in eco- nomic, political, and social life; and To animate the whole group with Christian idealism. Those purposes are to be realized by the following means: Selection of a faculty of men and women of exemplary conduct and character, who are heartily and definitely committed to the Christian purpose of the institution, whose instruction is sympathetic with such a purpose and never hostile to it; Offering specific instruction in religion; Providing for the expression of religion through various suitable organizations and activities; Upholding standards of effort and achievement that are thorough and honest; and Observing Christian ideals in all corporate activities of the University. By common declaration of trustees and faculty, Denison Uni- versity makes these its aims to be progressively and continuously realized.
