For the growth and expansion which has characterized all phases of the
work promoted by the Department of Student Work of the Sunday School
Board we are grateful to God. The most outstanding development on the
campuses is the return in tremendous numbers of ex-service men under the
GI Bill of Rights.
Due to this influx we have for the first time the unique and perplexing
situation of two generations of college students on the campuses at the same
time. This presents to the Department of Student Work, and to the schools,
the unique problem of providing at one and the same time a commanding propam
of spiritual inspiration for these two groups of students of different age
levels. To meet this situation we have had a very impressive increase in the
student secretarial force on the local campuses, in the larger cities, in the states,
and m the Southwide activities.

Week program is a distinctly "over and above" service rendered to BaotSt
schools. For such a week a team of from a dozen to a score of experienced
workers go to a single campus for a week of intensive emphasis andTromotion
of the disfanctly religious work. The impact upon the campus k mor? or
