THE RELIGIOUS LIFE
AT COLORADO COLLEGE

Religious life at Colorado College.
like all other problems. has been con-
s.dered with both thoroughness and
effectiveness. After careful thought
and study of the situation il was de-
cided to establish department of
-Religion and Biblical Literature. :"
with full professorship. and give it
the highest academic standing. and
the work full credit. There was call
ed a man specially trained for this
subject. who had not only taken his
undergraduate work but his graduate
degree at Harvard University. and.
later his full Theological training at
the Chicago Seminary. Mr.. David
Fales. Jr.
The schedule of courses has been
carefully planned. and the work is as
tho-oush and scholarly as that of any
other department in the institution.
All the courses are made elective
rather than required, so that no one
is forced TO take work in which he
had no interest. The second semes-
ter OF its Inauguration Is now under
way. showing that 24S students have
chosen OF their own accord these
courses. which now occupy a place OF
the highest standing in the College
This gives Colorado College the
