Benefits in Address Here, Last Wednesday Evening
"What shotfld College,do fpr Us
in the Way ,of Religion?" was the
topic of the speech delivered by Dr.-
Fred E. liucns, pastor of the First
Presbyterian' church of Athens,
Ohio, at the .required assembly
Wednesday, April 18.- -
Using the illustration of the pussy cat-who went to London to see
the queen but spent his entire time
under tkiG chair seeing nothing of;
the great, city: Dr. Luchs compared
Joe; College with that cat in respect
to students who go to college but
mereiy chase mice under chairs.
Dr. .Luchs stressed- five* ways in
which students benefit from college.
He.first stated that college teaches
them to think in the matter of religion. People expect a'great deal
from college graduates. They expect thein to be able to think mat*-
ters thrdugh.. "There are two main
classes of thinkers in religion; those
who are too lazy Jo think and believe that tradition ,.?tias already
settled religion for all times, and
those pagans who know very little
about religion but speak as. authorities.. Dr. XiUchs further stated
that there are many things in religion which are not thought
throiigh, and "All conclusions in religion have hot been reached."
We should learn in'college to rub
minds- with the faculty and other
students, exchange views and. know
the faculty as people. A greater per
cent Of the faculty are more religious' than any other profession.
"College teaches you the background of history and social movements."  The church has  many
times supported movements which
they  later discovered were unchristian., , College  should  teach
yon what movements you should
support in, the church and in the
community."
He continued by saying that college teaches students to realize that
religion should begin exactly where
you are. Religion begins at home by
using   the • tools' rat'  hand.   They
should start being religious now and
not when, they think they may have
hiore tame for it later in life.
'   College   teaches   some   beliefs
and satisfaction of  minds.  One
should always have a philosophy
and should have traditions only
if they are strong enough to continue through the years. People
very seldom have the same phil-
