RELIGIOUS EMPHASIS WEEK
Religious Emphasis Week at the University of Idaho is designed
to present, in terms intelligible to university men and women,
the relevance of religion to personal life and the great social
issues of this age. Its aim is to bring to the student body and the
faculty a conviction of the burning need of our day for intelli·
gent, trained, consecrated Christians. The objective of the week
as chosen by a poll of students was "To arouse the realization
that religion can be a vital and living force in the life of college
students as a basis." Noted churchmen from all over the nation
were brought to the campus as speakers.
Results of Reliqious Emphasis Week show a renewed interest in religion
on campus. Dr. Oscar Adam, director of the Christian Ins titute, is
shown discuQing principles of religion with several students.
Students are able to find peace and rel•xation in the lounge of tho
newly-built Christian Institute following their wookly church meeting&.
